A/N: Okay, yes I know I have like a billion stories going but in my defense it is the fault of my over active writer's brain. Anyways, you aren't here to listen to me ramble about having too many story ideas.
Without further wait... TADA!

Chapter 1: Two Worlds on Course for Collision
Monday Noon, America
"Dudes! I have some huge news," Alfred announced as he flopped do between and already annoyed Brit and a less than enthusiastic Chinese senior. Their lunch table was packed with students from all over the world. Most of them had moved to America because their parents had a hand in some of the big corporations around the area. The outspoken blond had quickly become friends with a wide variety of these teens due to his father being a large influencer in several of the businesses.
"If it's about another sale at McDonald's, I swear I will get Elizabeta to beat you with her frying pan during Home Ec today," the British teen rolled his eyes before taking a bite out of some unrecognizable food. At least Alfred assumed it was supposed to be food.
"Well, there is a sale… But that's not the news I wanted to share. I have a…" The blond paused for dramatic effect. "Sister."
All eyes were on him when he announced this. Shortly after the whole table burst into a fit of laughter.
Gilbert let out a snort once he regained his composure, "Good one, Al. But we all know your mom isn't able to have anymore kids. So, unless you've been hiding her in your basement for the past fifteen years, I doubt you do."
With his blue eyes narrowed, Alfred let out a huff. "I'm telling you dudes the truth. Technically, she's only my half-sister."
At this his French friend's ears perked up. "Honhon, a scandal?"
"So, apparently not long after I was born my father had a business trip to one of his companies in Canada. Well, while he was there he had an affair with some lady. She ended up pregnant and had a girl. After my mom found out she was like super mad but she was also concerned about my father's image, since he was just taking over the family business. So after Mom and Dad worked things out between them, they made a deal with the other woman. If she kept the affair and child on the down low, then my father would pay enough to support them both until the girl was out of college."
The whole group fell silent for a while. Of course they all felt inclined to believe the American now, due to the fact they all figured he wasn't intelligent enough to come up with a story like this on his own. Plus, he would never slander his father's name for a stupid prank.
Francis was the first to break the silence. "Mon amie, how did you find out? The have obviously been keeping it a secret for a long time if you are only finding out now."
"They told me at supper last night."
"Why now though?" The British sophomore eyed him curiously.
After he swallowed his mouthful of cheeseburger, the teen stated seriously, "Because she is moving in with us."
"WHAT?!" The whole group said in unison, earning stares from other tables and a glare from the supervising teacher.
"Apparently her mother passed away and the only blood relative she has left is our father. Remember how I told you that my parents were arguing the other night?"
"How could we forget, aru? You complained about it all day," Yao grumbled.
Alfred stuck out his tongue out at the Chinese teen. "Well that's what they were arguing about. My mom said that we should take her in. Mom always wanted a daughter and since she is unable to have more children, she is all for having her. However, Father didn't want to disrupt our family all of the sudden. I guess that changed after he spoke with the girl on the phone though, because the next day he booked a flight to Quebec. He leaves in the morning. The funeral is Wednesday and after they get everything else straightened out, they should be here Friday night."
Crumpling up his paper bad the bushy browed teen commented. "Bloody hell, Alfred. Your family is a down right mess right now."
"It's awesome and not awesome all at the same time," the self-proclaimed Prussian stated before popping his last grape into his mouth.
With a dreamy look in his eyes, Francis asked, "Is she a cutie?"
"I don't know. They didn't even tell me her name, let alone see a picture of her. Even if she is, you are keeping your hands off her," the American snapped.
"Will we get to meet her, aru?"
"Yeah. Dad's already enrolled her here. She starts next Tuesday. Since I got held back in kindergarten we are in the same grade." He got oddly quiet for a few minutes before adding, "You know, as much as it sucks just finding out now, I think it's also exciting. I finally get to be a big brother."
Arthur, Yao and Gilbert exchanged looks that said 'Oh boy, it's going to his head.' Before anything else could be said the bell rang and everyone hurried off to class.
Friday Morning, Canada
"Hurry up, Madeline. We'll be leaving shortly," the man who apparently was her father called from the adjacent room.
"Oui, Papa," the blonde shouted as loud as she could, which in reality wasn't any louder than a normal spoken tone.
She looked around her empty bedroom and sighed. The room that was once filled with colorful pictures and posters, now seemed dull and colorless. She had grew up in this room and now she was abandoning it to move to a new country, where she didn't know a single person. Even the people she was going to be living with were complete strangers.
Her father had been kind enough and helped get everything settled, but still he was a someone she had no clue about. He was now telling her that she had a half brother and that his wife was excited to welcome her into their home. While Madeline was happy that she had somewhere safe to go, she was also filled with a deep sadness. Not only was she having to leave the one place she knew but she was having to do it without her mother.
After taking in one last glance around her room, she let out one last sigh. Madeline picked up her last box and carried it to the pile in the living room.
"The movers will take care of the rest." Mr. Jones assured her. "Do you have your travel bag ready?"
"Oui, Papa." The young girl said picking up said bag. "Are you sure it's okay that I take Kuma to live with us? I mean it took mom years to agree to even let me have a dwarf polar bear."
"It's fine, Madeline. Besides I have friends who have even stranger tastes in pets. At least he has proven to not be a threat and it would be wrong of me to tear you two apart. Especially in the current circumstances. So, don't be concerned about it." The middle aged man reassured her.
She bent down in front of the pet carrier. Of course, Kumajiro was giving her angry looks. He never took well to being locked in any type of cage. The cub sized white bear was about to say something to Madeline but she put her finger in front of her mouth to hush him.
"Don't want Papa to change his mind now." She told the bear, who nodded in agreement. Madeline knew that even if he hadn't agreed to letting her keep the polar bear, Kumajiro would have found her one way or another. They just had that type of connection. "I'll see you in a few hours."
"Ready to leave, Madeline?" Her newly discovered father asked as he headed for the door.
Slipping into her favorite maple leaf overcoat on, Madeline moved to follow him out the door to her new life.
