America's pov:

I grabbed as many Countries as I could. Canada, Iceland, Italy, Spain, and Australia ended up staying in the meeting room with me. "The new countries are a problem." I directed the most urgent look I could muster at the other Countries. Iceland, Italy, Spain, and Australia all looked at each other with a similar expression.

"This doesn't concern me." Iceland raised his hands and walked out.

"Sorry, America." Italy left as well.

"I'm not sure why I'm here and I don't want to." Spain narrowed his eyes and followed Italy.

"Dad's calling me." Australia shrugged.

Only Canada stayed. "Look, America, they haven't started too much yet and they said they would stop."

"Do you actually believe that?" I huffed and rolled my eyes. Canada is way too trusting.

"Yes! Yes, I do." He stormed off after that outburst.

"It looks like I'm alone." I crossed my arms and sighed in the empty white room.

...

United Nations's pov:

These two are very interesting Countries and I couldn't refrain myself from aggravating The American Empire. His reactions were so funny. I had my arm around his neck and my hand hung in front of the left side of his chest. United Union kept a very straight face and walked on the other side of me. "You remind me of Germany a little bit."

United Union turned her expressionless face my way. "Me?"

"Yes! Smart, reserved,... and cold." I muttered the last part.

"Sounds like your describing Russia." Emp frowned.

"And you know Russia?" I laughed at the new Empire.

"I know of him." He grumbled. I smirked down at the black flag. Absolutely hilarious. I observed as his face lightened up. "That's our house! You can go now!" He pulled himself away from me. I grabbed him back.

"There's a moving truck and I would love to help you move your stuff into it." I smirked at the miserable Empire.

"We have it covered!" He glared back at me.

"But I can fly." I showed him my wings by expanding them fully.

"I don't see how that can help us out." His frown deepened and his eyebrows raised expectantly at me.

United Union cut in, "Are you stupid? He can move the stuff faster." She rolled her eyes. I glanced back at Emp with a smug grin.

"I hate you." He hurriedly walked off into the house. United and I followed him inside. "Flor, Dak, we're home!" He shouted. A forming Country runs into his arms.

"Emp! I missed you!"

"I missed you too!" He hugged her tightly.

"You're bleeding again!" An uncharacteristic frown settled on the little girl's face.

"It's nothing!" He gave her a wild grin. "How was Eas?"

"He played with me and helped me pack." The little girl grinned sweetly. That's when we heard screams.

"Emp! What have you done to me?" A former state screamed at the Empire.

"Wait what?" Emp looked absolutely confused.

The former state pointed at his flag. "There's an E under my star!"

"Oh." Emp got up from the ground and walked over to the boy. The boy backed away from him slightly, but Emp got on his knees before him. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I changed your flag. It was confusing to have two States with the same flag."

Tears formed in the new States eyes. "I hate you!" He ran off. Emp sighed in defeat. Another new State runs in the room with a W under his star. He punched Emp hard on the cheek. Emp held it and looked at the floor in shock.

"That's for my Brother!" The violent State yelled. He also left. Emp held his cheek and thunder rolled around in his eyes. Holy shoot, he was mad.

"Do you have any stuff to put in the truck, Flora?"

"Yes." She wouldn't make eye contact with him. I barely wanted to make eye contact with him. He stalked off and I followed after him. The crying state was in the room Emp entered. The Empire just grabbed some boxes and left the room. I did exactly what he did and ignored the crying State.

"Maybe you should go comfort them." I told Emp.

"How?" He cried exasperated.

"Use your brotherly charm." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'll try." He sighed again. His eyes focused on the ground before him. We placed the boxes in the truck. "Could you help Dakota while I talk with East Texas?"

"Sure." I smiled at him. I found the forming country who seemed to be Dakota.

"Follow me." She smiled sweetly. I walked into her light green room and grabbed some boxes as well. The violent State, who I'm guessing is West Texas, sits in the corner while crossing his arms. We keep grabbing and unloading boxes until there is none left. That's when Emp comes into the room with East Texas.

"Do you mind helping Flora now?" He gave me a weak smile.

"Of course not!" I grinned back. Dakota and I left to help Flora. Eventually, all the boxes were in the truck. I run back into the house and fall onto The American Empire.

"Ouch!" He groaned and winced. He opened his basically purple eyes and his mouth formed a perfect little o. I never had an urge to kiss someone in my life until then, but I heard someone cough. I pushed myself up and helped Emp up.

"Sorry." I blushed with embarrassment.

"It's okay!" He smiled at me. Now that was a genuine smile! I smiled like a dork until I heard another cough.

"What?" I glanced around. It was East Texas and West Texas giving me knowing smiles. I glared at them.

"Hello?" A voice came from behind me. I swung around and found California at the door. "I saw a 'For Sell' sign at the door. Is that true?"

"Um, yes. I'll get United to go over the details with you..." Emp said in a confused manner. "Let me go get her." He disappeared behind the hallway which is in front of the kitchen. The siblings entered the living room/kitchen with wide smiles on their faces. It looked really strange on United Union's lips. "Come on, UN and Flora." He smiled kindly at us.

"What about United and Dakota?" I asked him. My eyes burned with questions.

"They're taking the car." Emp shrugged. He walked out of the house and we followed. "Oh wait..." Emp paused. "Eas, get out here!" He hollered. "Wes will go with United and Dak." He turned to me. An easy-going East Texas walked out of the door. He didn't seem to be like the State he was a few minutes ago. What did he do to him? My eyes followed Emp's back.

We all pile into the truck and Emp cranked it. We rolled smoothly down the road. I was smooshed against Emp and Eas and Flora were chatting happily beside me. I stretched my wing around Emp and fake yawned. He narrowed his eyes at the road. "What are you doing?" He hissed.

"My wing feels comfortable here." I smirked at him.

"Please remove it." He said coldly.

"How about I don't?"

"How about you do?"

"Don't."

"Do."

"Don't."

"Do."

"Don't."

"Do shut up." Flora chimed in. We sat in silence after that. I could tell that Emp was extremely embarrassed. His black flag could not hide his blushed cheeks. I decided to annoy him further. I poked his stomach with a completely straight face.

"What the heck?" His disbelief was clear in his voice.

I waited a few minutes and did it again.

"Stop!" He said sharply and kept his eyes on the road.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

East Texas snickered.

"I swear to God!" Emp groaned. Everyone started laughing except for Emp. I gave Eas and Flor high-fives. Then, something clicked in my mind. It's a sensation I get when something has happened in the world. Though everything seemed fine here. I'll have to look for the problem soon.

"I can't help you unpack when I arrive at your new house. Something's happened and I have to check it out."

"That's too bad. What came up?" He hummed and looked slightly happy. That small smile hurt my heart slightly.

"Work." I sighed and focused my gaze onto the constantly moving road.

"Is there a way I can help?" His question was purely genuine.

"I'm afraid not."

"Oh well." Emp sighed and turned into a paved driveway. The house was a dull yellow. The roof was dark brown. It seemed to be tall enough for an upstairs and there was a carport.

"Nice house." I complimented.

"Thanks!" He smiled at me as he turned off the engine. Emp hopped out of the car and so did Flora and Eas. I scooted out and closed the door shut. "Is this goodbye?" He walked around the vehicle and stopped in front of me.

"Seems so." I smiled down at him.

"Thanks for helping." He held out his hand.

I took it and shook it. "Anytime." I really didn't want to leave, but duty calls. I turned away and walked toward my office.

...

The American Empire's pov:

He was gone. Finally! But at the same time, I knew I would miss him. I unlocked the door for Eas and Flor to explore. I would get them to start helping me later.

I pulled my phone out and stared texting United Union.

Emp: did you do it?

United: yep he's dead

Emp: UN is gone

United: finally 🙄

Emp: IKKKKKKKKKKKK

United: he divided into two... a gurl and a boi

Emp: WHAT!? Which one is the smaller one?

United: the gurl

Emp: Give the girl to Dakota. We need her as a Country.

United: k

I stuffed my phone into my pocket.

"Eas, Flor, come help me!" I shouted into the house. I heard rushed footsteps and a Country and State appeared before me. "Ready to unpack?" I asked them.

"No!" Flora whined.

"I don't really mind." Eas shrugged.

"How about we do your room first, Flora?" I tried bribing her to help.

"Yes!" She cried happily. We carried boxes up the stairs because that is where her room will be. She'll have to share with Dakota because there are only four bedrooms in the house. One will be for me. One will be for United. (She'll have to share with the boy California until we can trust him.) The other will be for Eas and Wes. (They'll have to share eventually when the other states are trustworthy.) Then, Flor and Dak have to share with girl California. This house isn't going to last for long. I laughed out loud and Eas and Flor gave me concerned looks.

"Don't mind me!" I smiled. I heard a car pull up as soon as we almost finished Flora's side of the room. "Come on, you guys have some people to meet." They shuffled after me down the stairs.

"This is North California." I pointed at the girl California. She waved timidly. "And that's South California." I pointed at the boy California. His frown stayed on his face.

"Flora and Dakota will share a room with Nor."

"Sou will have to stay with United."

United groaned.

"Is that okay with everyone?" I asked.

"Where do I go?" Wes hopped up and down.

"You get a room with your Brother." I say smiling.

"Awesome!" He pumped his arms in the air.

It was awesome. I felt more accomplished then ever.
