It was a normal day for Saskatchewan. She was just walking back to the prairie farm (of which she lived with Manitoba and Alberta)  when she saw Alberta dangle from the roof of the farmhouse. 

"ALBERTA WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE"

"Uh....."

" If this is another stupid bet I will shove a piece of bread in your-"

"NOO IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT! I just saw rover climb up the roof so I went to save him"

Alberta sighed and showed the massive sheepdog, Rover in her lap. Sask took a sigh and helped the two animals back down. Manitoba was chilling around in the kitchen, stealing another of Al's biscuits. 

" Lemme guess... roof this time?"

" Yep, luckily it wasn't another bet," 

SK gave Al a death stare before beginning to bake some pierogis and sausage, one of their mom's favourite dishes.

"Really?! Again.. put we had those last week! Why not burgers!" 

Alberta whined, Al wasn't the biggest fan of their mom's cooking- or Saskatchewan's cooking. Nope just of Saskatchewan's Cooking- she doesn't think the two mix.

" We have another day in the fields tomorrow and I can't have another lazy butt on my hands!"

SK wasn't usually this angry at AL but today wasn't her day. 

"C'mon you two! Stop bickering ,the family is coming over!" 

Mani replied. He was the middle man in all of the two twins bickering. He was the oldest of the house which made his biscuit stealing even more apparent.

"C'mon"

The twins stared at Mani.

 " You invited our family to our house... WITHOUT TELLING ME? I didn't buy any beer all week! You could've warned me!" SK stormed off.

A few hours passed and the BC and Yukon had arrived. B.C looked like she just came from a movie shoot while Yukon had clearly came from a day of mining. Manitoba greeted them in.   Soon followed Nunavut and the older Northwest.

"Really Mani? Did you have to bring Nunavut. You know I'm gonna have to take care of her all day." North complained 

Ontario arrived with Quebec who clearly didn't want to even be in proximity to anyone.

"Lemme guess you invited all our dumb English siblings and our- I mean your father and Ma and not put a single thought into inviting Grandma?!"

"Uh- she uh- had a EU meeting"

Mani had the dumbest excuses known to mankind. One time he tried to argue that Uncle Aus had came from freakin Oceania and brought a polar bear into the house. Alberta Almost killed him that day.

The Maritines came in, all of which had something for the feast except Nova who was clearly in his own world.

"Is pizza a pie or is pizza a type of bread?"

"Last time a province touched a pizza Italy tried to kill us." PEI replied death glaring at Ontario.

Then out of the door was Canada holding hands with their mom, Ukraine.

"Hey honey watch your step!"

"It's fine I can see fine here, You all are taller than me anyways ! So, what's for dinner!"

"Pierogis and sausage! Your favourite! Sask chimed.

Sask was always mom's little girl. She loved her mom so much, Sask even stole her cookbook once to try and cook like her. Let's just say there was some fire the next day.  

The night went well, Everyone had a great time (except Quebec who had gone into a fit of grandma or anything French being at the party). It was later when Mom and Dad left when things started to heat up. Nova and Al looked into SK's liquor cabinet. Empty. Mani's? Empty. The emergency stash? Not completely empty but clearly not enough for the amount of drunks at the party. Then Nova got a idea.

"No."

"Please- C'mon SK! It's a lil bit of-"

"I'm not going to break into Uncles stash so you can get drunk."

"But what if we shared it?"

"Still no"

" Think of poor Al sitting on the couch, sad- alone because we didn't have enough alcohol for her!"

If Nova knew one thing about SK and AB is that the two twins cared to much about each other to let the other stay alone at a party.

" *sigh* Fine! But this is only for Al! Not for your addiction!"

SK gave Al and Nova a key that should work and told them to not get caught or as I quote

"... I will kill you and bury you two in a field of wheat and have your dead bodies fertilize the the plants!"

So off the two went to rob a liquor cabinet.
