That night, after the party, New York was unwinding in his room. He didn't exactly feel tired (since he really couldn't) but he still wanted to get some rest. He looked in the mirror and observed every blemish or wrinkle he could find in dismay. California reprimanded him for being too perfectionistic towards others, which he's tried to stop. However, it proved to be more difficult to stop from being too perfectionistic of himself. His hair was turning a bit grey at the roots, so he always dyed it. His skin was slightly creased, so he gathered all of the skin products he could to smooth it out. His beloved pizza was a treat to his taste buds, but it was one that made his skin oily and blemished and affected his perfected figure, so he decided to only eat it once every few months. As painful as it was, he figured it was for his own good.

"God, I just washed you... why are you already oily?" New York hissed as he ran his fingers through his slightly wavy hair. His hair was actually very naturally curly, tightly coiled and a bit frizzy, but he was once complimented when he straightened it out, so he decided that was how he would wear it from then on. He sat down and sighed.

"I'm an absolute mess right now... I hope I looked decent at the party...," New York said to himself. Suddenly, his mirror morphed into a person and he may or may not have screamed.

"Calm down! It's only me," New Jersey said.

"Still?!? How often do you pretend to be my mirror?!!! I was about to change into my pajamas you pervert!!!" New York exclaimed.

"Chill out, I shifted back specifically so I wouldn't have to watch you get butt-a** naked," New Jersey said.

"Why are you here anyways?!" New York exclaimed.

"I was just hidin from Delaware, he was super pissed that I pranked him soooo I decided for my safety I should hide in your room. I didn't expect you to go to bed so early," New Jersey said.

"What'd you do to poor Dela?" New York asked. New Jersey laughed.

"Nothin! I just shifted into a creepy baby doll and messed with him," New Jersey said. New York shook his head.

"You two... you're like feuding siblings sometimes," New York said. New Jersey shrugged.

"Yeah... anyway, I think you look fine. You looked great at the party too," New Jersey said. New York looked away, and sat down on his bed.

"Cool, thanks... um... anyway, I'm gonna get dressed now," New York said. But New Jersey sat next to him.

"You're pretty damn attractive, I dunno why you don't see it," New Jersey said. New York furrowed his brow.

"Stop,"

"Stop what?"

"Are you making fun of me?" New York asked. New Jersey paused, before chuckling.

"Not this time... I know I'm a dick sometimes but that's the 'joking, try-hard comedian' New Jersey. I'm bein genuine Jersey right now. You look fine," New Jersey said.

"I guess I'm not as bad as I normally look right now...,"

"...,"

".... what's with that look?" New York said. New Jersey took his hand.

"You don't take compliments too well. That's funny to me. You're really cool and walk around like you're the sh*t, but the second you get a genuine compliment you criticize yourself," New Jersey said. New York pulled his hand away and crossed his arms close to his chest, before letting out a deep sigh.

"I dunno... I guess I just don't get compliments often," New York said. New Jersey hummed in thought, before getting up to leave.

"Well... I'll let you change... but I still think you're pretty cool, so... don't forget that," New Jersey said. New York smiled half-heartedly.

"Thanks," New York said.

The next day, everyone was just hanging out and cleaning up after the party.

"Hold on... Pennsylvania! So, you can make things float with your brain.... can you pick me up?" Delaware exclaimed. Pennsylvania hummed in thought.

"Let me try...," Pennsylvania said. She lifted Delaware about a foot off of the ground before dropping him with a sigh. "You're too heavy," Pennsylvania said. Rhode Island then gasped, before shrinking to the size of a Barbie doll.

"Make me fly!!" RI exclaimed. Pennsylvania smiled, before making RI fly around like a superhero.

"Guys, stop goofing off, the decorations won't clean themselves up!" New York said.

"AGHHHH SHUT UP!!" They heard Carolina shout. They were tearing at their hair and punching themselves, before suddenly defusing.

"You're an idiot!" South Carolina exclaimed.

"If I'm an idiot, you're a complete and utter dumba**!!" North Carolina exclaimed.

"Guys, if you two are just going to yell at each other, maybe save the fusing for when you actually are getting along," New York said.

"Fine...," South Carolina said. New York sighed.

"I think we need a lunch break... Connecticut! What's on the menu?" New York asked.

"New Mexico taught me some new recipes! We're havin Mexican food," Connecticut says.

"Yay!" Texas exclaimed. The states unwound and ate some nums, when North Dakota suddenly grasped his head and looked super panicked.

"SOUTH IS IN DANGER!!!" He shouted.

"What? What's wrong?" Minnesota exclaimed.

"I felt a sharp pain in my head and now I can't hear him! He's not talking I can't... I can't f*cking hear him!!!" North Dakota cried. Everyone frantically searched for South Dakota. They found him at the bottom of a staircase with a bump on his head. North Dakota sighed.

"Idiot... he fell down the stairs... stupid moron...," ND said, however everyone could see the caring fear In his eyes. Texas put a hand on SDs injured head, and the bump smoothed out. SD slowly opened his eyes, and looked at ND.

"I know you're worried, stop pretending to hate me," SD said. ND wiped the tears from his eyes, but something that SD said to him telepathically apparently moved him to unbridled tears. ND kneeled down and pulled his brother into a hug.

"Awww happiness!!! Love!!! All the good things!" Texas exclaimed happily, patting the twins on the head. With that resolved, everyone went back to business as usual.

That night, New York went into his room and looked in the mirror. He was surprised to find a note.

You are beautiful on the inside and out...

And you have a fine a**, so you also got that goin for ya

With love,

Your secret admirer

New York chuckled to himself. He knew this was probably a stunt New Jersey was pulling to make him feel better... however it still put a smile on his face.
