Tiny Texas Time!

The Beginning

"Y VOLVER VOLVER VOOOOOLLLLLVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR," Texas yell-sung, before letting out his bestest grito that he practiced in the mirror that morning. He does it a lot. On one hand, Mexico thinks it's adorable that he likes to do it, but it's also not the greatest alarm bell.

"Your yell is fun, but why?" Tito asked, nomming on a fajita.

"Because! Fun! And papá does it when he sings this song," Texas said.

"What's it about?" Tito asked.

"A man begging to go back to someone he loves... don't you understand it?" Texas asked.

"No, your Italian is hard to understand sometimes," Tito said.

"Actually Tito, Texas speaks Spanish," Italy said.

"Ohhhh! That's why sometimes you say things weird!" Tito said. The kids all continued to hang out until it was dark out, and Texas had to say goodbye.

"Come over again all the time ok!!" Texas exclaimed. PJ nodded and gave Texas a hug, and Tito knew he had to one-up him. Tito channeled his inner sea monster and swept Texas off his feet in a biiiiiiiiig hug.

"ACCEPT MY LOVE! TI VOGLIO BENE MIO AMORINO!" Tito exclaimed. Texas was confused, however knowing that Tito was using his happy aggressiveness right now, he laughed and returned the hug. The adults aww'd, and PJ crossed his arms.

"Well played Tito... well played,"

A few weeks later, Texas was having fun cooking with his papá when suddenly his dad lead a man, woman, and teen inside. All of whom he did not know.

"Hello!" Texas exclaimed. The family smiled at him, and he decided that they were good people.

"This is Greenland, Antarctica, and their son Anthony," America said.

"I'm Texas!" Texas exclaimed.

"Nice to meet you! We've heard great things about you!" Antarctica exclaimed.

"Like what?" Texas asked.

"You're adventurous, just like your father," Greenland said, America chuckling. The rest of the night, the adults talked and had fun, while Texas dragged Anthony around and showed him his house.

"And this is my horses April and Angel! They're sweet, do you wanna pet them?" Texas asked.

"Um... yeah," Anthony said. Texas felt that Anthony was a bit standoffish, but he was sure that the teen would be his best friend before long. After all, that's how it was with Puerto Rico.

"Do you like horses?" Texas asked.

"Mhm, they're nice," Anthony said.

"What about bears?" Texas asked.

"I love bears," Anthony said.

"So does my sister! She likes playing with my stuffed bear, Osito," Texas said.

"Aww, that's sweet," Anthony said.

"Do you have friends, Anty?" Texas asked.

"Um... yeah? Well... I mostly just hang out with my cousin Izzy," Anthony said.

"Oh... can I be your friend?" Texas asked.

"Heh... I guess so?" Anthony said. Texas cheered, because new friends are always a great thing to find.

A few weeks later, Mexico was teaching Texas, PJ, and Nekomi how to paint. Texas was just winging it and havin fun; Nekomi was taking Mexicos advice, however used her own style; PJ was very focused, trying to replicate Mexicos art with the same level of mastery and skill.
