Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice- "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you" -The Motto of Michigan

August, 1836-Detroit, Michigan Territory

Derek groans as he slams the door. Chris has told him that there was no reason to be mad at Angie.

But, she was stealing the Toledo Strip and she was really getting it!

Seriously!? Absurd!

Chris and Dan have told him to calm down, which is stupid! Angie was stealing his land!

Maddie's eyes trail up to his before looking back down at her book. At least Maddie didn't get in the way.

Derek rubs his eyes and groans, throwing his gun beside Maddie. She didn't even flinch.

"The others are gone. Me and Charlie are the only ones here." Maddie tells him. He was relieved. This means he won't have to suffer through Chris yelling at him to 'end this absurd war'. God, he was annoying.

He nods, dragging himself up to his room. Charlie was there, reading a book. Charlie has always wanted to be with him, which iscwhy her bed was in his room.

When he first met her, she said she was the Upper Peninsula and said she was his triplet. He had been confused. What Upper Peninsula?

Why did he feel a strange, bubbly sensation in his gut whenever he was near her? Who was the other triplet?

Why did they need a personification for a peninsula? He didn't know and didn't want to. He takes off his shirt and puts on a more comfortable shirt. Charlie didn't bother looking up until he changes out his pants.

"What?" Derek asks.

"You'll get the Upper Peninsula." She whispers before walking out of the room. Derek was stunned. Huh? He didn't have the Upper Peninsula.

Technically, he did because it was a part of his territory. Honestly, he was confused as to why there were more than one personification of the Michigan Territory.
