America: 50☆Stars (Vol. 1)

Episode 30: Q&A

"Durufu! What's up, dudes! Welcome to the first 50 States Q&A! I'm your host, America! Joining me today in answering these questions are my 50 States and Washington D.C."

The camera zooms out, revealing fifty-two individuals crowding around the stage. Washington D.C. sits comfortably in a chair next to America's desk. New York and Florida argue over their spot among the Big Three at the couch. California tells Texas to not ruin her photo with Hawaii. Virginia patiently sits with Kansas on a cushion table, both smiling politely at the audience. The rest of the states try to comfortably sit on metal folding chairs and the hard, wooden floor. It isn't easy getting everyone in the frame, the cameraman will tell anyone that much.

America laughs. "Okay! Let's get this Q&A started!"

"First question goes to Hawaii! That-Random-Comment wants to know: What is it like being the youngest among the states?"

Hawaii laughs, "It's very unfair. Sure, being one of the younger states has its perks, but I can't do cool, adult stuff like drink blue cocktails or drive a car! I also hate how people don't take you seriously just because you look like a kid. Like, I'm thinking about independence, but nobody listens to me! It's annoying. I hate it. And-"

"Aw, Hawaii is so cute when she's mad," Mississippi hugs the little Hawaiian.

"You see what I mean!"

"Guess what, Indiana? You're quite popular today because we got a bunch of questions for you!" America beams.

"Wow. Really?"

"Yep! Fight-Hoosier-Illini is wondering: Do you have a crush on any states in particular?"

She shakes her head. "Nah. I mainly see my fellow states as friends. Nothing more than that."

"The closest she fallen in love was with her tractor," Louisiana jokes.

America holds back a laugh. "Well, since you don't have a crush, AbramsS2020 is wondering: Who do you like more — Illinois, Michigan, or Ohio?"

"Hm... That's a difficult question."

"What do you mean? The answer is pretty easy!" says Illinois with a smug smile.

"I mean, Michigan has an ego the size of Lake Superior, and Ohio is honestly lame."

"Not true!" Michigan and Ohio protest in unison.

"As for you..." She looks at Illinois like a strange piece of art. "You're..."

"Awesome? Suave? Inspiring?"

"Dishonest was the word I would use to describe you."

"Ouch..." America whispers.

He laughs off the insult. "I'm not that dishonest."

"You're an irresponsible philanderer in debt."

"Ouch!" America, some states, and most of the audience react to her brutal, yet honest comment.

Illinois crumples in rejection. "Girl, you're sinking the ship."

"Ship?"

"You know! Our ship name! Illiana! I even named a small town after us."

She looks back at America. "Can we move this show along?"

"But Illiana though!"
