"See you soon Diego!" Alfred laughed lifting his younger brother easily in the air earring some laughs.
"Yeah, I'll see you all soon Hermano. Now we need to get on the road before Brazil gets even more impatient." Diego sighed as his phone buzzed in his pocket.
"Good luck Mexi" Jackson laughed slamming the truck of his car shut. He had a truck mostly for suitcases and stuff. Most states drove their little crews around how you might ask? Modified cars.
"What are you doing?" Ludwig asked.
"What does it look like? Putting in Rico's car seat!" Utah snapped, she was younger but she had a sharp toung when it came to stupid questions.
"I can see that by why?" Ludwig pushed.
"Because were going up north? Nixon can't be in a plan unless one of us are driving so were driving were we need to go" Utah stated blatantly
"Oh." Was all Ludwig said before walking away seeing at the girl was on her last nerve with the man.
"How long will the drive be?" China asked as Alfred took a few suitcases from the 13th council.
"33 hours minamun, Since where going to upstate Washington" Alfred said thinking for a moment.
"Good, we'll be able to sleep in peace" China muttered glaring at Arthur and Francis.

"Aussie!" Jackson yelled making both Austin and Australia look his way. "No" he laughed, "Austin!" He said between laughes as both looked a little confused. "Yeah?" Austin asked when Jackson calmed down.
"How many seats do you have left?" Jackson asked.
"Three in the back and passenger, theres also the five in the very back"
"I call going with Austin!" Peter claimed running to where his, practically bus, was parked and hopped in with laugher form the states getting settled inside. Wyoming helped him with his bag.
"I'll stay with the idiot" Shawn muttered walking over laptop and bag in tow.
"Correction, one seat, five in the back and passenger" Austin laughed dryly before he went back to work.
They all soon hit the road, China was with Austin and he sat in the passenger. China was surprised how the car was made. Two seats on each side with a walkway in the middle. There where 5 rows of four and one row in the very back that had five. The Nordic five took those eats and Molossia's pet, he had no clue what it was, took up the last remaining seat. The seats all had armrests and charging ports since it seemed they all remained quiet with them. They had headphones on and beside the light whispers from the nordics or asking for snacks it was quiet. Yao found it very relaxing.
Yao looked to Texas who had headphones in, but not very loud since Yao couldn't hear it.
"Austin, yes?"
"Yeah?" He asked taking out an ear bud.
"How good a parent is Alfred?" Yao asked, the question was on his mind for the past few days now.
"As good as a parent can be with 50 states, 3 extras, 5 territories 2 capitals, 8 micronations and me" Austin joked, "But yeah, dad is a good dad. Even with the fact he's a nation he does good. He has hard shoes to fill, good thing I don't have to do it often"

"What do you mean" Yao pressed.
"Like during the great depression, dad was in a comma during that entire time, it was me that was going to meetings and doing the nation stuff" Austin said shrugging.
Yao fell silent, he had no clue what to say. What do you say to a sixteen year old who took over being a nation for more than ten years. All the insults weren't being handled by Alfred but his eldest son.
"I forgave a lot of you long ago, emotions were at an all time high with your very lives being on the line." Austin said shortly before turning on the radio to play some sort of country. Even with it not being anywhere near what Yao enjoyed he didn't complain. It wasn't his place to.
-----
They sat in a random parking lot eating food from different places. Not Yao's style but according to Arizona who was explaining it to the nordics "It not the best food but it always tastes better when you're gettin' where you want to go!"
Tino smiled watching the states talk. They're so well behaved and quiet on the car ride so far even though it's been a few hours, they didn't seem to complain except when they needed something. It was so domestic, like it was something that was common for them. To just sit in comfortable silence just being around each other.
"Hey anyone want my nuggets, I can't finish them" Max(NewMexico) said getting most of their attention.
"I can give 'em to Rico" (Florida) Lucas said grabbing them from his brother. "Here ya go ocean boy" Lucas laughed giving them to the excited toddler.
"Dammit got my drink wrong, anyone want to trade me a Coke? I got Sprite by accient" Arizona asked turning to look at everyone from his seat.
"I'll trade!" Utah smiled getting up to grab it and giving her Coke to Jay"
"Thank you" Jay smiled happily enjoying his coke.
"Anyone accidently get a Dr. Pepper, this is pepsi." Acilino declared.
"That would be me" Peter admitted as they traded their drinks.
Austin took a slip of his sweet tea before speaking, "Buckle back up, where getting back on the road" Everyone got into the seats and buckled up, somewhere still eating but pulled down little trays from the seat in front of them.
Austin pulled back onto the road and drove for many more hours. Many had fallen asleep by the time they finally got out of the state. He hummed along to the soft rodio as he drives through the night. He wasn't tired in the slightest.
The road was empty and seemed to go on forever. But it was fine.
There was a switch around at the last stop so everyone was sitting somewhere else. Sweden had Shawn and Peter on ether side of him as they rested on him. Acilino and Frederick had put up their armrests and where asleep sharing a pillow. Micheal and Dean where asleep with Micheal leaning on Dean and the little dog(??) asleep on his own little bed on the floor.
Skye was asleep leaning on Zach's car seat. Florida was asleep next to British West Florida as Wyoming was next to Conch republic.
"Austin?" Tino asked looking away from the window.
"Si?" Austin asked yawing.
"Are you making your atlantic trek this year?" he asked.
"Have every year, except for years like the GD" Austin said eyes focused ahead.
"I can pick you from the arctic and drop you off back home if you want." The finnish man offered.
"That'll be great, thanks" Austin said giving a small smile before going back to driving
A comfortable silence takes over again.
