50 States is a handful you know?

"Yeah.."

Illinois' Pov.

"Huh?.. Oh wait now I remember.." when I had just woken up from my nap I didn't know where I was for a second until I realized I was in my brother's home but I didn't really remember why I was there...

"..."

"Hm.. maybe i'll go look for Indiana he'll know what happened" I said to myself.

I got off of my bed and walked out into the hallway. I looked around at the photos that were on the walls and smiled a bit.

But one photo caught my eye..

"What's this?.." I asked silently.

The photo was what looked like a family photo, it included a younger version of me, younger version of Indiana, and a woman?.. I looked at it a bit longer just studying it..

"Brings back memories eh?"

"Oh shit!" I sprang around only to see my brother in the doorway.

"Sorry did I scare you Illi?" my younger brother asked me.

"Well a little.." i replied.

"Well i don't blame you" he replied chuckling. "But anyway come downstairs if you'd like"

And with that my brother went downstairs, I looked back at one photo one more time before taking it off the wall and taking it out of its frame and putting it in my pocket, before heading downstairs to meet my brother.

I walked into the kitchen where my brother was sitting, lost in thought.

"Um, hello?" I said.

"Hm? Oh hello" Indy replied.

"Hey.. how did I get here? The last time I remember I was at the conference hall.."

"Well... " he shuffled around as if he was uncomfortable with something..

I looked at my brother and gave him a nod to tell him to move on.

"Okay, well.. At the meeting if you don't remember we were discovered by one of America's friends, and somehow Germany overheard our conversation of.. France and he confronted us about it and you started crying and fell asleep and I decided to take you home. That's it, well really a summary but whatever.." the Hoosier explained.

"Oh.. I remember now.." I mumbled.

The two brothers sat in silence for a few minutes embracing the quietness that they didn't always get when around the other states.

"Indiana?"

"Hm?"

Illinois got the photo out of his pocket and handed it to his brother.

"I saw it in the hallway, but.. Who is that woman? I feel as if I should remember but I just don't.." I said.

"Well.. this photo is very old. Not even sure how it was taken since cameras didn't 'exist' back then but.. That woman.. was our mom.."

"...How come I don't remember her then?.." I asked him.

"Well you mainly grew up with France so you didn't see her often while I grew up with her in her village" Indiana explained to me.

"Oh I see.." I replied to him.

"Yeah.."

The both of us stared at the photo for a while before Indiana broke the silence.

"Well I think it's about time before we head to bed, don't ya think?" Indy asked me.

I looked at my watch and it showed 8:58 P.M. "Oh yeah I guess we should, heh.."

I got up from my seat and started walking upstairs,

"Goodnight bro!" I yelled.

"G'night Illi!" I heard him reply.

I continued to walk up the stairs and walked into my room and plopped on the bed.

*sigh* I looked around the room one more time before I drifted off to sleep.. The photo tightly griped in my palm..
