The next morning came like any other. The nations awoke to see a breakfast of fresh fruits and cornbread muffins. Two of the children were sitting there arguing about a grey hamster in their hands.

The first was a girl who had short dark brown hair with a light green headband that matched her eyes. The girl had a black and white striped shirt along with her grey short overalls and to top it off she had black and white converse. (They are just overalls but the pants are just shorts)

The other was a boy around the same age who had messy light brown hair and corn yellow eyes. He had a similarly colored yellow shirt and dirty overalls with a pair of cowboy boots.

"I told you! K-City is mine! He's even got my name in his." The boy argued only earning a huff from the girl as she held the hamster close to her chest.

"Well I'm telling you the best part of it is on my side. So it should be mine!!" The girl responded with a smirk.

The two continued to bicker as Daniel stalked into the kitchen, eyeing the espresso machine. The boy looked undead to say the least. As the two yelled comments back and forth they didn't notice the tired boy walk to them with an agitated expression.

"Melissa. Karter. Why are you yelling so early in the morning!? Do you have any idea how early it is?!" New york yelled. The two looked at each other then at him and gulped.

"D-daniel, what are you doing here? " Melissa asked nervously.

"Y-yeah, Shouldn't you get your coffee-" The two children froze at the realization and looked at each other in fear.

"We will go get Izabelle." They answered in unison and ran upstairs hastily.
The nations had just watched as they ate. They had gotten used to the chaos of the house. Of course that didn't mean they knew everything. The nations had no idea why Missouri and Kansas were fighting or why Daniel was so agitated this morning.

Soon Indiana came down in her usual outfit, her golden eyes scanning the room before finding Daniel. She nodded to him and grabbed her tool box.

"I'll fix the Expresso Machine, just don't scare anyone else." She scolded before moving to the previously mentioned machine.

Once breakfast passed everyone was brought into the living room by Alfred.

"Okay, so we are spending all of today cleaning. I need five groups. Ten states and two or three nations for each room. We are cleaning the kitchen, the living room, The library, the dining room, and the Basement. So go ahead and group up. I'll assign you a room. Me and Dixie are going to make sure the magic barrier on the perimeter is okay. If you all are done by lunch i'll cook for you."

As they all began to clean the nations got to know the states just a little bit better. There was one interaction in particular that was strange.

England and France were helping clean up the library, which had somehow gotten very messed up. The only thing that wasn't a mess were the large fancy standing mirrors that had been brought with them in the basement. England knew several states knew and used magic regularly but went to look at one of the mirrors.

The one he went to was one of the older looking ones. It, like the others, was about 6 foot and had a distinctive frame. The frame was a dark cherry that had been hand carved and looked eerie. As he looked into his reflection he saw no one on the other side. Confused he leaned closer, accidentally pressing a loose piece of wood. Faint footsteps emerged from the mirror as a familiar figure walked up looking bored. Allen stood in the reflexion as Arthur backed up.

"What in the name of the Queen is going on?!" Arthur yelled surprised to see the 2p.

"What happened?!" Allison asked as she ran over. Once she saw the situation she waved at Allen. "Hey Uncle Allen!"

"Hey Doll." Allen grunted back a small smile on his face. "So why did you call?"

"We called you? Oh, Must've been the Lobster on accident. Sorry" She apologized before the 2p left.

"What the bloody hell was that. Why do you have a mirror to their world?" Arthur yelled causing the rest of the stateside magic trio.

"He found the mirrors didn't he." Madison stated in a huff. "Well Mister England, the barriers between worlds thin at one spot. Dad found that spot and transferred it to these Mirrors. So the 2ps can move in and out of that mirror and come to our world if they wanted, however Dad has a truce with them. They-" She was interrupted by her littler sister Louisiana.

"We have Dinner with them once a month!" She said as she spoke happily. Arthur almost fainted.

"Yeah, each of these mirrors are a portal to a different world. Some are better than others but Dad has decent relationships with the Alfreds"

Arthur just looked at the mirrors in horror. "How many are there?!"

"Well right now we have five major mirrors and like ten minor ones. I'm pretty sure. The minor ones aren't able to come over at will but the majors can."

"What?! Are they all as Vile as the 2ps?"

"Hey! Don't insult uncle Allen like that. He's actually a big softie!" Missouri huffed as she joined the small group. Kansas quickly followed.

"Yeah! Auntie Amelia is fun too." Karter added.

"Don't forget about Uncle Jones!" Louisiana reminded and most of the states looked at each other without agreeing. Karter and Melissa though were laughing and nodding their heads.

After that they all continued cleaning and to everyone's glee, they finished before lunch.

Grouping back up in the living room they all saw that Alfred was cooking something in the kitchen. All the states couldn't wait for lunch to be served and when it was the nations could see why.

The meal had all sorts of warm comfort foods from all over the states, from cornbread to mash potatoes it had it all.

The Mini feast concluded anything exciting happening that day, everything in the afternoon was just preparations for the big party tomorrow. No one knew that state-side parties were notorious for absolute chaos.
