The adults and their kids went out for a walk in the forest for funsies.
"We should probably turn them back soon...," America said.
"Yeah... Aww but they're so cute," Mexico said.
"Yeah but it's kinda an ethics thing...," Canada said.
"Yeah.... ok we'll turn them back when we get home," America said. Meanwhile, BC was reluctantly carrying California on his shoulders.
"I'm tall!" California exclaimed.
"You're bossy," BC said.
"Aw give him a break, he's just a baby," BCS cooed.
"Why don't you carry the pest?" BC said.
"Don't call our brother a pest," BCS said.
"Whatever... ok kid I'm putting you down," BC said, placing California on the ground. California started happily skipping along. The path started leading along a small cliff, one California was hopping awfully close to.
"CALI NO-," Mexico exclaimed, as California tripped and fell.
Or at least he would've fallen if BC hadn't dived in to save him.
"GOOD GOD YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME KID WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" BC exclaimed. California cried and hugged BC closely. BC sighed and returned the hug.
"Awwwwwwwwww," BCS awed.
"Yeah yeah whatever," BC said.
"Ok well, I think it's about that time again," Mexico said.
"Time for them to grow up?" Quebec asked.
"Yeah... let's go home," America said. While walking, Utah was on America's shoulders, enjoying his nap. Mexico jr was on Mexico's shoulders enjoying his tallness, Canada was hanging out with Nevada and Arizona, the Cali triplets were walking together, and Quebec was walking with Texas.
"Imma marry you!" Texas exclaimed. Quebec tried to figure out how to reject his boyfriends kid form.
"Oh Um... I'm afraid you're too young.... maybe when you're older...," Quebec said.
"Hmmmm.... double digits?" Texas said.
"Maybe even triple," Quebec said. Texas pouted.
"But I wanna marry you nooooooooooow," Texas whined. Quebec laughed.
"You can try again when we get home ok?" Quebec said.
Soon, they were home. The trio reluctantly got out the machine.
"It's time...," Mexico said.
"They grow up so fast...," Canada said. The trio re-aged the states, and watched as they looked around in confusion.
"Why are there toys everywhere?" Arizona asked.
"Quebec? When'd you get here?" Texas asked.
"I don't remember loving my brother?" California said, him and BC hugging.
"We may or may not have turned you into toddlers," America said.
"Huh....," Nevada said. The group of states (and one province) left that day, Texas confused as to when he accidentally proposed to Quebec.
The next day, Canada went over to Netherlands' house for dinner, while Mexico and America stayed at home. Greenland was out with Antarctica, so they were home alone.
"What if sex," America said.
"Pft who even cares about sex nowadays. Now It's all about rubbing crystals together and connecting your wavelengths or something," Mexico said.
"Yeah. Hey remember that crazy time where it was socially unacceptable for a couple to not have sex," America asked.
"Yeah, old times were weird," Mexico said.
"Mex, do you remember your first kiss?" America asked.
"Might've been with you if I'm honest," Mexico said.
"Wouldn't doubt it. We were both young gay and confused," America said.
"Bi," Mexico said. America sighed.
"You're lucky. For your entire life you experienced attraction to the 'correct' gender.... I hated myself for years because I had no desire for women but a big one for men," America said.
"Yeah... until I realized I was bi I thought I was just a really loving friend," Mexico said. America sighed.
"You came out a lot earlier than I did... like, 90s right?" America said.
"Yep," Mexico said.
"What was it like? How'd people react?" America asked.
"Some were confused, some thought it was weird, and my dad thought it was a phase. They just didn't really know enough about it to not be homophobic... but they're all cool now, so I'm good. I'm just happy the humans decided to legalize gay marriage in my territory. I mean, I know that doesn't parallel the acceptance in my country, but it's nice to think about," Mexico said.
"Yeah.... I mean, hell, I only came out last year. People are way more accepting now. Even countries where their humans are homophobic. It was a shock to know Vatican isn't a homophobe.... I'm not calling all religious people homophobic but it is something to think about," America said.
"Yeah... Damn, sometimes I wish we kept the humans without autonomy. Imagine how much better the world would be," Mexico said.
"Yeah...," America said.
A few hours later, Canada came home. He was tripping over his feet and slurring his words.
"Nada, are you ok?" America asked.
"Surrrrrrr... fuuuuuuuhhhhhh wheres moooooom I did a screw uppp," Canada slurred, before gagging as if he was about to puke. America got Canada to the toilet in time for Canada to puke, and start crying.
"Immmmm sorry Ammmeee I didn't wanna," Canada cried.
"Nada, are you drunk?!? You're not supposed to be drinking!!" America exclaimed. Canada just cried. "Nada, tell me what happened," America said.
"Iiiiii heee got out beeeeers I felt bad saying nooooooooooo he made it himself," Canada slurred.
"Neth gave you beer?" America asked, getting angry.
"Mmhhhhhmmmmmm and I got an owie on the way home I tripppppped," Canada said, pulling down his sleeve to show a huge gash.
"OK THATS IT ME AND NETH NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT," America exclaimed. America stormed to Netherlands' house and pounded on her front door.
"Ame? What's wrong?" Netherlands asked, considerably more aware since he could handle alcohol a bit better.
"DID YOU GIVE MY BROTHER ALCOHOL?!" America exclaimed.
"Y-yeah?! Why?" Netherlands asked, a bit scared.
"HES NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK! And you could've at the very least driven him home, but no!! You left him to stumble home by himself!! He got hurt Neth!! This is your fault! Maybe it isn't but I'm mad!!! If I see you anywhere near my brother I will do something mean!!!!!!" America exclaimed, before storming back home.
"Canada! You're not allowed to hang out with The Netherlands anymore!" America exclaimed.
"W-wait! Thhhhats not fair!" Canada slurred.
"I don't care I'm mad!!!!!!" America exclaimed.
"I'm going in my room and I'm gonna cry a lot!" Canada exclaimed.
"FINE," America exclaimed.
"FINE," Canada exclaimed, running to his room.
"Ame-," Mexico started.
"NO IM ANGY," America exclaimed, before running to his room.
