America: 50☆Stars (Vol. 1)

Episode 20: A Rivalry for the Paul Bunyan Trophy

A/N: This episode is going to deviate from the "rules" of this book by featuring human names. The reason is due to showing a 2P! version of one of my 50 States OCs for the sake of this episode's plot. For those who are wondering, I'm not into 2P! Hetalia. As such, the 2P! Hetalia OC I'll be showing is my attempt at this kind of character, so they may seem "off" to some.

By the way, I won't be writing '2P! Michigan' throughout the episode, so I'll be distinguishing both Michigan OCs by human names. For readers who don't know, my '1P! Michigan' OC is named Millicent or Millie in short. As for 2P! Michigan's human name, I've given them the name Mackenzie or Kenzie in short. Anyway, I hope anyone reading this episode doesn't mind these exceptions.

1898 ~ Ann Arbor, Michigan

American football was still in its developmental stage as more colleges began adopting their own football teams.

One of the colleges to have their own football team was the University of Michigan. A year ago, its football team devastated Ohio State in a lopsided 34-0 victory. Many years before that, they defeated another rival, Notre Dame, in another one-sided victory of 8-0. Without a doubt, they were confident they would be able to defeat their visiting opponent in today's game.

"Is that really the best your team can do? The freshmen here can make better plays than what you're doing," Millie mocked her opponent.

Kenzie's ears were smoking red. Her team had yet to score a point so far in this game. "Fucking score, Aggies! We gotta prove to these stupid trolls we're a million leagues better than them!" she hollered like mad.

Michigan State University was originally known as Michigan Agricultural College at this time. They were the younger college whose ideals couldn't be anymore different than their urban opponents. One might even say they had an inferiority complex toward them. Quite understandable considering legislators for the University of Michigan prevented the farmers college from being called a 'university'.  As such, it wasn't surprising they wanted to be taken seriously, hopefully proving themselves by taking down their athletically superior neighbors.

Unfortunately, they weren't able to topple the Wolverines. The game ended in a lopsided loss of 39-0. Oof!

Millie snickered, "Wow. I can't believe I took you seriously. Not even Ohio State sucked as much as your team."

Kenzie gritted her teeth. "Don't compare me to that Suckeye sissy!"

She brushed her off. "Well, this was good practice for the seniors. Next time, I'll let the freshmen have a go at your team."

"Freshmen?!" Kenzie grabbed her by the shirt collar. "Listen here, scumbag! My team might've lost this game, but that doesn't mean you get to treat my team like a bunch of babies!"

"Let go of me!"

"Not until you respect me as a rival!"

"Never!" She spat in her face.

Kenzie was taken aback by the rude gesture. Her eyes burned a murderous shade of red. A deep growl grumbled from her throat. Her left hand reached behind her back.

Millie was quick to figure what she was doing. Just in time, she blocked the hatchet's blade with her wrench before it hit her face. "Are you crazy?! You can't kill me!"

An evil smile curved along her face. "Watch me!"

Millie groaned. "Why can't you be a depressing emo like Wisconsin...?"

It would take her many hours before she could tire Kenzie and make her escape. However, it was only temporary for she would be forced to compete with her counterpart again in many years to come.
