Lone Star

chapter 15

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls all around, I'm extremely proud to announce the opening of a new way to a certain united nations verification system, which is this bridge right here!"

Cheering from the audience continued to be heard from the broadcast as the two workers unveiled the bridge to the verification place. Now that Texas could finally lighten up a little bit, he packed up his things and turned off the television as he walked out of the hotel room. The wait, it was finally over! There was finally nothing to worry about.

Or so he thought.

Later that day, he received a text from UN. It seemed important, so he decided to answer it.

"Hello, traveler.

You have recently told us you will become independent, so we thought we could help you out with just that! If you have any questions, please ask the people we hired outside of the verification place. Remember, you must bring your verification paper in order to enter.

Thank you!"

He finally felt happy about something important for once. As he rushed to the lobby, he met with the receptionist, who was extremely excited to see him achieve what he desired.

"Hey, Texas! Wait.. are you becoming independent??"
"Yeah.."
"Oh my god! Congratulations!!!" The receptionist hugged him, congratulating him on his success.

Texas smiled as he walked out of the hotel.

"Oh silly España, we can't let him go to that 'verification place'!" Mexico said, trying to explain his new plan.
"Whatever, Mexico," Spain replied. "It's your choice if you want to recognize him as a country, but I know I will." She went to the car, wanting to leave.

Before they could do anything, Texas walked out of the hotel. Mexico and Spain rushed to the car.

"Mexico, quick! Get in the car!"
"What, why?"
"He's coming!!"

Mexico and Spain rushed into the car and drove off before it was too late. Meanwhile, Texas looked at the time on his phone. Oh shit, he has to be at the verification place in two hours. He got in the car and decided to go to the verification place. Luckily, it wasn't going to be that bad, right?

Maybe it would be.

Meanwhile, the traffic on the way home was absolutely horrible. The broken drone was in the backseat, in a bag. As the traffic cleared, Spain felt relieved, looking outside her window as she laughed a bit.

"España, why are you laughing?" Mexico asked, concerned.

"Oh nothing," Spain replied, still laughing. "It's just so silly to see people on Texas' side, like you know, making him independent?"
"I get why it's funny, but they have no control over that!" Mexico sighed. "Maybe if you really got out of that "EU" type of shit then you would understand."

"The EU isn't shit, you know that," It was at that moment that Spain realized something. "Maybe we were meant to be friends.."

"Thought so." Mexico was still driving, trying to find a fast way home. "Hopefully he's not alone there."
"He won't. I bet there's other people who are also going through that."
"I understand that, but I just hope the best for him.."

Spain had a little bit more help than usual for this. Maybe one day she would no longer be on Mexico's side..

If that's really possible..
