Before the End

●January 1st, 2041●

I woke up to screaming from the downstairs, I grumbled and slowly sat up but slumped back down as a splitting pain went through my head. I groaned in frustration, why does this have to happen every morning. I looked around my room and noticed the photo of everybody, all the states being just as chaotic in the photo as they are in real life, it's why I never take photos with all of them, the camera man can usually never handle all of the chaos. I looked away from the photo and noticed the pain had went away so I sat up and stretched out my wings, just being careful not to hit anything because of their length.

I walked over to my closet and took my time getting dressed and sighed a bit, I hate how large my wings were, especially because I had four. It was such a struggle to get clothes on, and very annoying because I smack the corners of my bed with them, every, single, time. I looked at the school clock on of the states stole from their school, I confiscated but kept it in my room because it doesn't reek absolutely havoc in the mornings. Currently, it was eight in the morning, and grumbled, it was too early for states to be yelling over something, it was ghost related. The argument could be heard from the top floor, or the fourth floor of the house, I fucking hate everything.

I exited my room and went down to the basement which was technically the living room, going down the stairs from the very top was like a full workout for one. New York and New Jersey were arguing, screaming at each other from halfway across the room. "WILL YOU TWO SHUT THE FUCK UP." One state screamed, who the hell was that?-

I looked around and Texas, was in the garage, it led to the downstairs, so I figured that Texas had yelled that. "Texas! Swear jar!" I yelled at him. "The swear jar is bullshit! I'm trying to fix my truck, now fuck off!" Texas yelled at me, this is why he gets into so much trouble all the time. I looked down a bit a sighed. "You two! What's the big deal, why are you two arguing." I yelled out and they stopped, and stared at me for a moment then started to try and yell out the reason at the same time. "One at a time! New Jersey go ahead." I explained to them and sat on the couch. "Well, New York keeps trying to say Imperials back because there's handprints on the counter, he kept saying how they were bigger than yours but I don't believe him!" New Jersey yelled at me, and I looked at New York to signal him to go ahead.

"He is back!-" New York could barely finish before he got cut off. "She! It's a she not a he!" New Jersey yelled at New York. "New Jersey ket him finish." I pointed out and looked back at New York. "I swear the handprints on the counter are bigger than yours, and they're over by the tuba-wear cabinet, you never touch that!" New York explained to me and I nodded. "I'll check it out." I mumbled and went upstairs and entered the kitchen and went to the tuba wear cabinet, New York was right, there were hand prints. I hovered my hands over them, they were, large, about three times bigger than mine, what the hell?

I got really confused, Alaska's hands weren't even as big as mine and he was the biggest state. I was really confused until I felt a chill on my arm, like someone was grabbing it. 「あなたは州です！彼らは4年以内にすべて死ぬでしょう。」("You're states! They're going to all be dead in four years.")

(Please correct me if translation is wrong)

I was suddenly so confused, Japanese Empire sounded so much different than before, was this actually her? "Japanese Empire, why are you here? Why are my states going to die." I asked, and tried to see if she was actually visible. 「その名前は使わないでください...」("Please don't use that name...") she had mumbled towards me and I nodded. "What would you be preferring then? Even with pronouns." I mumbled back to him, the aura he had seemed to get warmer, just this time instead of communicating verbally he communicated with me mentally. It had always been a weird thing he could do but Imperial said that he was to be called Imperial Japan and more masculine pronouns. I had stopped worrying about what he said about my states earlier, it just felt good to make somebody happy for once but got startled out of my thoughts as one of my states slapped my back. "Hey, you kinda froze for a couple minutes, are you ok?" Colorado asked and I nodded. "Of course I am just, wandering." I mumbled and smiled at him, he nodded with a look that he didn't fully believe me but didn't bother asking anymore questions.

I looked back at the handprints and, they were gone. "He scares you doesn't he?" I heard Imperial whisper to me and I nodded. "Ya, Colorado does. I still remember how pissed he got at Soviet during the Cold War, he held five times more anger than I did at the time, even Texas is scared of him by a bit." I explained, kid was only 14 yet could kill a whole country if he wanted, the only person he respects is me and D.C.

When I got out of my thoughts, I was in a completely different place, it was a flower field, I was sitting down. My legs were out and, I spotted Imperial. "Hey, I thought you'd see me fully, and funny enough, I'm still taller than you. Dork." Imperial had chuckled and I punched his shoulder. I looked at him fully and mainly his face, god, I swore I was falling in love with him again. "I forgot how you were a kitsune, just dead, but you still manage to take me to places unimaginable." I mentioned and he chuckled and nodded. "Ya, just, after this you may have passed out so be prepared for the chaos to come, I can already see it, Texas is, celebrating that you could be dead." Imperial snorted after what he said and I nodded. "Of course, he's always wanted to be out on his own." I mentioned.

"Um, I guess goodbye, please don't let Alabama out of the house, I don't want him dead." Imperial warned as everything began to fade, I couldn't even say goodbye; I snapped awake and gasped for air. "FUCK!" I heard Texas yell in the most souther accent I had ever heard and some states snorted. I looked around, about every state was down and I saw Colorado. "Texas I wish I had slapped you before dad woke up." Colorado snapped at him. "Shut the fuck up mc anger issues." Texas retorted at him and Colorado stomped towards Texas and slammed him to the ground and stepped on Texas's chest. "You wanna repeat that? Bitch." Colorado spat in his face.

"Why can't you do that to me!" West Virginia yelled out from downstairs. "WEST SHUT THE FUCK UP." Colorado yelled at West and he just moaned loudly. "But it's kinky!" West yelled back, this family I swear, how has the house not been burnt to the ground yet.
