So this isn't a main story chapter, but I thought it could be fun to do a little short story on to show what's going on elsewhere, flesh out the characters, or just use an idea I scrapped. I'll mark these with a .5 at the end. In theory you'll probably be able skip them if you want.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________"Are you sure you can handle this?" New York asked Texas. It had been a day since their brothers had run away, and they were desperate for any info they could get. That's when California had an idea. They'd go on TV and tell the whole world about it" She thought it could work since Georgia was the one who made their movies, North Carolina had a bit of everything, and without Florida, they're wouldn't be anymore Florida Man stories. So she had brought along York and Maine. She didn't want to bring Texas, but he wanted to talk about it for them due to his, "shining personality."
"Sure am" Texas replied. "Cause its not to late to go back-" York said before being cut off by the Southerner, "listen Yankee, I know y'all think you know what your doing, but Georgia, Florida, and North are in my posse, not yours." He told the state. New York just sighed and went off to go work the lighting, knowing it was no use. Texas smiled knowing he won the debate. "We're ready for you Tex" California said from behind the camera, stopping his train of thought.
He confidently walked onto the set, spotting the yellow raincoat of Maine, who was working on live editing. He sat down at the table arranged for him in front of the camera. His grin wavered for a second when he remembered how he paid for the add. They had to steal one of Idaho's potatoes. He loved those potatoes and he was genuinely sad about it. But then he put the smile back on as looked into the camera. "So we lost someone, and while some people think that it was them running away, I think it could have been a kidnapping" he said, glaring at a random guy on the set. "The first runaway is Florida, y'all know him. If you see any chaos, he'll probably be nearby.."
As Texas talked about his brothers, Maine heard footsteps outside his station. Then, Idaho burst threw the door, knocking it off its hinges. "Where are they" he growled. Maine took a step backwards, "Idaho what do ya-"
"Don't try that Maine" the Idaho said, cutting him off. "He pulled out a sword made entirely of potatoes he carved. " One of my potatoes is missing, and I think you did it." Idaho lunged at Maine with the potatoes almost hitting him before he could escape. In self defense, Maine raised a fish he always kept in his raincoat. The two ran at each other, locking weapons in the middle of the room. Idaho managed to push his brother back, into another room.
"And while certain Yankees I know think think they left on purpose, I know it was him" Texas said pointing to the set member from before. The guy looked stunned, then he ran into another room in terror. "I love it when they run." Texas said, pulling out his revolver and chasing him. California ran in front of the camera to try to continue the add as Texas chased the worker. New York just face palmed, saying "I hate everyone."
Maine managed to climb atop a catwalk away from Idaho. Idaho threw a Molotov he made from a potato somehow at Maine, who dodged it. But the Molotov had started a small fire which was spreading threw the building, until it caused some derby to fall on the set member Texas was chasing, killing him instantly. Texas then saw Idaho fighting Maine. "What are y'all doing" The Texan shouted up at them. "You Stole my Potatoes, they must be avenged" Idaho said threw gritted teeth.
Texas reached into his pocket and pulled out a potato he bought earlier to make it up to his brother. "Here take this" he shouted as he threw up the potato. Idaho caught the potato, "it is, acceptable." He said as he lowered his sword. "Now let's get the Hell out of here" Texas said as he and his brothers ran out of the now collapsing building and into the parking lot where New York and Cali were. "Well I think that went well" Texas said as the last of the building fell apart. Everyone else let out a sigh, not even surprised anymore.
