Massachusetts: “You’re an annoying son of a bitch Cal, you know that?”
Texas: “Woah, don’t be sayin’ that now.”
Massachusetts: “The fuck?”
The other states: “Huh???”
Massachusetts: “you just… defended California?”
Texas: “Huh?” *he looks confused for a moment before realization crosses his face* “Ohhhh, nah, you can call him anything you like, but I won’t have you slandering his mother, she’s a very nice lady.”
California: *starts laughing softly, shaking his head*
The other states: “Huh???????”
Cal: “She’ll love to hear that you’re still defending her after all these years.”
Texas: *smiling now* “She didn’t question it when you dragged me along back home, she’s just took me in and fed us both, ‘course I’m gonna defend her.”
Cal: *snorts, but he’s still smiling* “Of course her cooking was the deciding factor in your undying allegiance to my mother.”
Texas: “Yup, her cooking was some of the best I ever had.”
Cal: “Wow, big words coming from you, I’ll be sure to let her know, maybe she’ll make something for me to bring back here.”
Texas: “You bring some of her food back here and maybe I can be nicer to ya for a bit.”
California: “Woah, if I’d have known she had magic powers when I was younger I would have behaved much better.”
Texas: *Laughs* “Did ya ever give her trouble? All her stories were of you being sweet, I can’t imagine ya causen’ yer parents any grief.”
Cal: *snorts* “Remind me to ask her for stories of me being a rascal, she probably has plenty. And besides, I ran away from home when I was 16, that has to count for something.”
Texas: “Ya visited her every year and worked cattle drives just to have some money to give to her and yer siblings, I don’t wanna hear it.”
Cal: *snorts* “I guess, cattle drives payed like shit though*
Texas: “That’s why we robbed banks.”
Cal: *laughing* “oh she’d be so mad at me if she knew we used to do that, she raised me better than that.”
Texas: “She probably already knows, nothing got past her. Now, about that food…”
Cal: “Oh my god,” *laughs* “I’ll get you your food, Cowboy, be patient” *he snaps out of the room*
Massachusetts: “What the fuck was that???”
Texas: *scowling now* “It was none of yer business is what it was, but jus’ remember that I won’t let ya slander Cal’s mama.” *Snaps out of the room as well*
