(Quebec 2020)
(And yes he should be thinking in French but I don't speak it and google translate is scary)

"And here's the tissues you needed." New Brunswick kicks a box of tissues under my door. I grumbled as I wobbled to the door.

"Pourquoi devais-je être celui qui est tombé malade (Why did I have to be one that got sick)." I muttered. I grabbed the tissue box and flipped onto my bed, the curled up tissues all over my bed fluttered.

"Hey gimme some of those." Ontario grumbled grabbing a few tissues. Me and Rio had gotten really sick with this bloody pandemic, so much so that the Atlantics had basically taken over the whole province duty thing (they still have zero cases and it pisses me off).

RING!

I grumbled moving my tired arm to the phone. "Putain, l'appel de l'Alberta." What the hell did that oil cowboy want.

"Hey don't swear."

"Qu'est-ce que tu veux, bordel?" I answered the call.

"Bruh, you know I skipped all those French lessons. English please." Alberta said back in her normal annoying tone.

"What did you call me for, I'm literally dying here."

"See much better!" Alberta praised which I met with a groan. "Anyways I'm just happy to announce I finally got that maple hooligan to approve my pipeline so you can stop buying that green guys oil! I know, I know you can hold the applause."

All I could respond with was a hmph of relative happiness. I was costing some money to buy oil.

"YOU DID WHAT?! DIDN'T I TELL YOU NOT TO!?" Another more mature girl's voice rang through the phone.

"Tsk, cmon BC it's just a pipeline. It's not even going through your territory." Alberta replied. "I got Onny boy's, French guy's, Maple man's and Flower head's approval."

"Did you just call me.. French guy?" I asked before breaking into a coughing fit.

"Yeah, wait aren't we in a pandemic why are you in my house!"

"OUR HOUSE!" I heard a guy scream.

"What are you communist? But yeah BC get out of the prairie house please, or else I'll have to place Edmonton Oilers stickers on your minivan."

BC scoffed. "YOU WOULDN'T DARE."

I could here the tension in the room. "Was that a challenge, British Columbia Vancouver Canada."

"MY CAPITOL IS VICTORIA YOU DISHSOAP SWAB-" Then the phone cut out.

I flipped over I flopped my face on the pillow as I broke into another coughing fit quickly joined by Ontario. This is going to be a very annoying year isn't it?

(BC POV)

Manitoba pushed me out of their house. "ALBERTA WE AREN'T DONE TALKING HERE!" Alberta looked to me with devilish eyes as she took out hockey stickers. I gave her a middle finger. "C'mon Mani you understand what I'm talking about right?"

He looked to the side. "I mean yeah, but the east needs this. I've been working on mending my relationship with them for years, I can't stop now." He played with a few scars under his eyepatch.

"Then they can just move to renewables like we planned! Unless we're all backing out again. I mean since you guys got Carbon taxed." I resorted to insults which were not taken well.

Alberta seemed especially angry. "WE JUST NEED MORE TIME! YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! YOUR MADE OF STUPID TOURISM! If I switched to new energy like that right now I'll disappear or lose my status on the big table like my sister! " Alberta then took a slight breath. "Now, get the hell out of my house."

I stopped resisting and began to walk out. "Didn't know you were power hungry."

"I'm not being power hungry. I'm keeping us in power and making sure the east takes charge of us again."

I grumbled walking out of the house. If she wasn't going to listen to fix that iron snake I'll do it myself.

(Quebec 2020)

"ACHOOOOO! AH PUTAIN DE DIEU!" I yelled startling awake a Ontario who was leaning on my bed frame.

"Quebec can you shut up. I'm trying to sleep." Grumbled Ontario as he struggled back to sleep. Me and him and the eye bags of elephants at this point.

I responded with a hmpth. My throat was dry and sore so I just tried to get asleep.

RING

I looked to my phone. Alberta again? I declined the call and told her just to text me as I could barely speak.

AB: Uh... about that whole pipeline thing
AB: Natives and like... every environmentalist in the nearest vicinity is kind of protesting.

SK: She's trying to say the pipeline has been cancelled

AB: SASK? What the hell you doing here?!

MB: You typed in the group chat.

AB: We have a group chat?

NF: Did you not realize we had one? We are family of course we do.

NS: Because we're family -Vin diesel probably
NS sent a image to the chat

QU: Can we just get to the point

YK: Quebec not typing in French and forcing us to google translate? Woah is the world ending?

QU: ALBY TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BLOODY PIPELINE ALREADY!

AB: Well Canada cancelled it so uh we just wasted around...

SK: One billion dollars

NB: ONE BILLON?! You guys have that kind of money?!

AB; Pfft, I have plenty of money to spare but it's uh it's a lot. I would like to take this moment to call out @ BC

BC: It's not my fault that you decided to build a pipeline that would further advance our reliance on fossil fuels

AB: And it would improve our global security, reliance on Saudi Arabia and prevent shut down of power in Quebec

MB: And it would go through and disturb Native reservations all over Canada?

AB: ... oh

NS: NS sent a picture in chat
NS sent a picture in chat
NS sent a picture in chat

NT: What the hell Nova

NB: Lol

🇨🇦: CAN YOU ALL STOP PINGING THE GROUP CHAT! IM IN A MEETING SITTING BY MY FATHER AND AME WON'T STOP CHUCKLING AND RUSSIA LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!

QU: Sounds like a you problem

🇨🇦: I swear to god I'm going to kill you all

I chuckled slightly and put down my phone on do not disturb. Then I realized that nothing at all worked out today and Canada just said he'd kill me.

Huh.

I pulled up the covers again and decided to follow Rio's lead of going to sleep.

(British Columbia)

I strolled the city of Vancouver with my bubble tea. The city was quite silent due to the quarantine, but that wasn't going to stop a happy stroll after my win against Alberta. I walked along the tall apartment complexes where people had strung out blankets and were reading and chatting around. Only around five people were walking the streets and they wore masks and seemed to be out there on work business or didn't have a place to go quarantine to.

I gave them little nods of approval and respect, threw some coins and cash into hats and continued through the streets. Eventually I found my space on the docks, I plopped down on them and dipped my feet in the water. The boats weren't as busy as normal which left space for me. I sipped my tea and gazed up to the light sky, tonight it would be covered in stars as lights went out earlier then normal.

"ACHOO!" I blinked a bit as I sneezed into my mask. I grumbled guess I couldn't get out of the pandemic without a little sickness.

A girl matched my sneeze and I flashed my vision to her. She looked familiar with a hockey team mask and golden eyes. She sat down by me and scrunched up. "British Columbia-"

How the hell did a mortal know my name. "IM OLIVA SMITH NOT BRITISH COLUMBIA! Why would I be named after the bloody province itself?" I asked the girl. She rolled her eyes.

"BC, It's Alberta? Have you ever seen my human form?" The girl asked. Oh... so that's why she was so familiar.

"I have, you just don't use it much, what do you want? Don't you hate me or something?" I argued fluttering my boots in the water a bit more.

She looked to the side, in a personality I have never seen before displayed by Alberta she looked sorry. "Yeah, you kind of ruined my whole pipeline thing. But you're my sister, and Mani and Sask are getting up on me about refusing to forgive you." She looked back to me.

My bright blue eyes met her pitiful face. "You we're just trying to protect us, but forcing us out or to follow you isn't protecting."

The young province seemed to began to sob. "I just wanna be a good sister. I saw what happened to Mani, to Sask, to you. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to see you cry anymore."

I looked to Alberta and gave her a hug. She seemed shocked at first but then fully grabbed me and cried into my shoulder.

Maybe siblings aren't that bad.

Should I give the provinces like canon human forms? I have mixed feelings on giving them specific look's because it feels like I'm saying all people in this province are ____ looking or have _____ skin/hair

I don't know if this is how other people think or it's just me but eh.
