(I decided to write this story from Delaware's chapter to give me a break from researching the next state. I mention so many states in this chapter. Also! Fun Fact - the name Elan has a Native American origin that means friendly. This was 391 words.)

Arthur(Delaware) sipped on his hot chocolate as he watched his siblings scream and play. Arthur watched unhappily as Marcus(Masschuettes) tried to set Elan(Alaska) on fire.....again. It wasn't that he was unhappy about spending time with his family. After all, it was pretty amusing to see Penny(Pennsylvania) wrestle Tyler(Texas) or to see his other brothers and sisters get up to ridiculous shenanigans.

It was just.....there had been one present that he had wanted so much. Of course, he didn't even ask for it or try to, that would be so embarrassing. A screech echoed through the as Elan tried to bite Marcus for trying to set him on fire. Arthur shook his head in amusement as Theodore(Virginia) and Mom(America) tried to calm Elan down. As well as scold Marcus for trying to set his brother on fire.

Although he hadn't gotten what he really wanted, he was satisfied with the gifts from his 50 siblings (It's 50 and not 49 because D.C has a personification too) and Mom. He had gotten new books, clothes, and some toy race cars.

"Arthur?"

The state jumped as Mom was suddenly next to him. "What is it, Mom?" he asked. Mom only smiled as he took out a small rectangle present from behind him. The nation's eyes twinkled as he held out the present to his son.

Arthur put down his mug on the counter next to him. Taking the present with slight hesitation, Arthur tore the colorful paper with little snowmen on it. He flushed as he caught sight of the ripped abs of the cowboy on the cover. It was the book he had wanted to buy so badly.

The eldest state turned to his Mom's smirking face, "Thank you" he squeaked quietly. Mom only grinned and patted his head. Looking over to his siblings, Penny was wrestling Marcus now. So, while everyone was distracted he slipped away and hid the book under his bed.

-Back Downstairs-

"I wonder if he noticed me taking a picture," remarked Alfred, grinning at the photo of his son blushing hard and staring at the book cover.
