I'll put the power list here just in case u don't know

California- Gold:

Can turn anything into pure gold (or gold colored)

Alaska- ice:

Basically he's Elsa

Hawaii- lava:

She can make lava appear and she can turn into a volcanic rock monster

Luisiana- voodoo:

This one's pretty self explanatory

Nevada- bringer of good or bad fortune:

She can tell between good or bad decisions, and she can see your most possible fate if you go on either route. However, she stresses that anyone can change their fate, and that a bad decision can lead to a good opportunity. She can also curse or bless people with good or bad luck for a day, but it's way too physically draining to do too often.

RI- making things small:

He can shrink himself or other things/people, and can restore them to their proper size whenever he feels like it

Kansas- wind:

He make wind go woooooo

Colorado- terraforming:

He can create mountains and valleys with his brain

Florida- alligator:

He's literally just part alligator. He is slightly scaley in some areas, has a tail, and sharp teeth. However, he is unable to speak, so he has trouble communicating. This leads the other states to assume he's stupid and insane, when he is actually rather smart and rational.

Delaware- invisibility:

Can shift in and out of visibility. His clothes turn invisible with him.

Georgia- magical empath:

She can't directly hear people's thoughts, but she knows exactly what people are feeling and why. She can also sense pain/sickness/other health related stuffs.

Michigan- hearing:

He hears gud, and also has selective hearing. He can drown out all other noise just to listen to a conversation miles away

Minnesota- duplication:

She can clone herself, however her clones don't have their own consciousness or free will, they just do what she commands them to do and they disappear after a while. She can only summon ten at once

New Mexico- dehydrates:

He can just take the moisture out of anything. Even humans. He doesn't do it to humans though, because that would be murder.

Illinois- volume control:

can make his voice either superhumanly loud or soft

North + South Carolina- fusion:

They can fuse into an ultra-strong giant. However, both of them have to agree to fuse for it to work, and if they start arguing from within the giants mind, they start to de-fuse

Alabama- x-ray vision:

He can choose to see through any surface. People sure hope he uses his powers modestly.

New York- unlimited energy:

He doesn't need sleep, and can do anything for hours and hours without loosing energy. He can also gift energy to others.

Ohio- hidden in plain sight:

RamcatSquish described it better but I forgot their description so basically he's like Waldo ok? He's there but you don't realize it, and he can do the same thing to other objects/people. Again, people sure hope he's using this power modestly

Massachusetts- fire and water resistant:

He can't drown or get burnt

Mississippi- (human) shapeshifter:

They can turn into anybody, as long as they know what they look like. However, they have to keep a picture of themselves on them at all times so they don't forget what they look like.

Iowa- projection:

He can make a ghost-projection-holographic version of his thoughts. He can do this to replay memories, scare the heck out of people, or 3D storyboard/blueprint something

He can turn into any object

Arkansas- diamond:

He can turn into a Diamond dude and become basically indestructible

Pennsylvania- telekinesis:

She can float stuffs with her brain

Idaho- gopher:

He just goes into the ground, and then sprouts again in another area. It's basically teleportation but limited to only places he can get to by ground (meaning he couldn't teleport into a plane, or elevated space, like the second + floor of a building)

Indiana- super speed:

He go brrrrr

Arizona- cactus:

He grows spikes

Utah- power to draw everyone to one area:

Y'know that one bell in minecraft that are in the villages? If you ring it all of the villagers gather around? Yeah, that's what he does, except he can choose who he wants to summon. The person he summons has no choice (kinda hypnosis-ish) but once they get there they can leave. Until he summons them again I guess

Wisconsin- healing cheese:

Oregon- water:

He makes the water go wooo

Vermont- sticky boi:

secretes sticky tar-like substance from skin that smells sweet

New Hampshire- rain power:

He makes rain start raining or stop raining

They are telepathic with each other, and are super agile and coordinated without even trying to be. They also feel each other's pain. They hate it, but it's useful

Tennessee- magical banjo:

He can control animals with his music

Missouri- finger guns:

He can shoot finger guns. They are always loaded.

Montana- luck:

can find any precious material just lying around

Nebraska- Green thumb:

He can heal dead plants

Oklahoma- right place at right time:

He gets a 'Okie sense' that tells him to go to a specific area. When he gets there, it always benefits the situation. He can ignore these urges, however it usually leads to disastrous (or mildly inconvenient) consequences

Kentucky- can predict tomorrow:

He can't predict exactly what will happen, but he'll know if the next day will be a bad one, what the weather will be like, or if something big happens. But, as with Nevada, he warns that his predictions can be changed

Wyoming- hot boi:

Can shoot boiling water from his hands

Ok on with the story

——————

Me and Florida swim for a bit. I mean, we have all day to pick a few flowers, we can afford some fun. So when the water floods from the pond and we're left sitting in some dirt, we're understandably upset. Florida shrieks at Oregon, who backs up.

"S-sorry... New York wanted me to get your attention," Oregon said. Me and Florida climb out of the pond, and Oregon puts the water back in place.

"So... I send you on a task, and you decide to go swimming?" Nueva says.

"Chill out, we have a full day to gather ten flowers! Besides, Florida wanted to!" I exclaimed. Florida pushed me. I can tell what he's thinking.

You suggested it!! It's not my idea!

Nueva just rolls his eyes.

"Just hurry up and make yourself useful for once. We only have today to prepare," New York said, before walking away. I sigh.

"Okaaaay, let's get the flowers...," I groan. Florida pouts, but follows me through the garden. All of the flowers are golden. I know who did this.

"Cali, you do realize that New York specifically asked me for red roses, and you just turned all of them gold," I said. California giggles innocently, however I know that he knows what he just did.

"Sorry, sorry, go talk to Washington, he'll help you," California said. I sigh. "Now that I think about it, you picking the flowers is really unnecessary... Washington could just grow them himself...New York must feel bad about you... y'know... not having any powers and all that," California said. God I wanna slap that smug falsely innocent grin off of his perfect face. Instead I just clench my fists and sigh.

"You know, some of us just wanna help-,"

"Oh, I understand Tex, trust me... you just want to pull your own weight like every other state... I'm sorry that's so hard for you, and call me Nevada, but I've got some bad news... you can want all you want, it doesn't make you useful," California said. Florida snapped at him, but California didn't jump. California also isn't afraid of Florida. I'm not exactly sure why- maybe because he's so cold and evil he might actually use his powers for murder if he wanted to.

Ok... you know what? Maybe that's harsh judgment...

Me and California did use to be friends, but ever since he got his Midas touch, he became prissy and perfectionistic. And, since he's Nuevas boyfriend and Nueva despises me, California despises me as well.

"Can you just tell me where Washington is?" I ask. California shrugged.

"In the courtyard, he's sprucing up the place," California said. I nod, and start heading that way. Florida sticks his tongue out at California and follows me. We get to the courtyard and I find Washington. I shove the list of flowers in his hands.

"Create those for me so I can give it to New York so I can go take a nap," I say. Washington nods, and Georgia places a hand on my arm, reading why I'm upset.

"California shouldn't have bugged you. I know he can be mean at times...," Georgia said. I sigh.

"It's whatever... I don't need his approval anyway," I say. Washington hands me the bouquet.

"On the plus side, we'll all have fun tomorrow right? Besides, there will be alcohol, and when alcohol is out everyone is friends," Washington said. I chuckle.

"I guess so," I say. But suddenly, I feel compelled to go to the dining hall. "Ugh, Utah's callin... I'll be right back," I say. I get to the dining hall, and I see New York with Nevada, Utah, and Kentucky... uh oh, this can't be good....

"Kentucky says tomorrow will likely be bad... so bad it gave him a vision of you... I'm sorry Texas, but tomorrow has to be perfect. For the safety of all of us, you should just stay in your room," Nueva said. Well damn.

"That's... not fair...?" I say.

"Texas... even if it isn't for our safety... it's also for you. What if at the party, you get hurt? We just want to make sure everything turns out ok," Kentucky says.

"But... Nevada, what do you think? Is keeping me hidden going to benefit the party?" I ask. Nevada closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"It appears so... I'm sorry....," Nevada said.

"Oh... ok.... u-um.... I guess I'll go let Florida know...," I say, awkwardly walking away. The second I leave the dining hall, I run into Michigan.

"I DIDNT I SWEAR-,"

"I know you heard everything don't even try lying," I say, trying to dramatically rush to my room. However, I run into an invisible someone.

"Sorry! Sorry! I forgot I was invisible!" Delaware said, becoming visible. I sigh.

"No worries...," I say.

"I'm sorry about what happened back there Tex... Michigan told me what Cali said as well... you know you're not useless-,"

"I know, I know... I just need some time to be edgy in my room by myself for a bit," I say, walking past them. I then run into Ohio. "GODDAMMIT COULD YOU NOT?!" I exclaim.

"Sorry," Ohio said. I groan and walk past them. I get to my room to see Florida waiting for me. He smiles brightly when he sees me.

"Hey Florida... bad news... I'm on timeout for tomorrow...," I say. Florida tilts his head in confusion. I sigh. "I'm being banished from the feast for the good of all people," I say in a funny accent. Florida looks surprised, and then hisses. "Look, I don't have a choice. I really wanted to go... but... Kentucky had a vision, and Nevada said it's a good idea for me to stay in my room tomorrow," I say. Florida sighs and gives me a hug. "I know, it sucks, you have fun though, ok?" I say. Florida shakes his head. "C'mon, don't be a downer! Please, I know you'll have fun!" I exclaim. Florida sighs. "We can hang out in the meantime right?" I say. Florida smiles and nods, before leading me to his room.

The states rooms are more like portals into their own small world. Florida's is a swamp. However, the waters are crystalline and smell like citrus, and there is a lovely wooden bridge leading to a center island where a small cabin stood. Inside, was Florida's bed and game consoles. He takes out his switch, and we play Mario cart for the rest of the day.

(I hope this book gets clout, I'm lovin the characters (especially my babies Texas and Florida) :D)
