But by the seeds that you plant.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Marianna Scifo blinked a bit startled at the sudden announcement from her computer. The amber haired, thirty-two year old single mother just stared at her screen, "Eh?" was her intelligent response to the pop-up she had randomly gotten but more so to the small flying green bunny that fluttered around the small box, "Um…Free Hetalia Unit? Testing? One of ten chosen…?"
Flynn glanced over at his mother a bit curious, placing his book down he moved to peer at her screen, "Two to three days delivery time?" the young seven year old had heard about this Hetalia series from the big kids at his school, "…Mommy what did you do?"
Marianna gave a nervous laugh as she ruffled her son's blond locks that he had inherited from his father, "I'm sure it isn't that bad…" sighing softly she gazed at her son's expression before he went back to his book. What a good boy. Clapping a bit, she stood up from her chair, her blue sundress shifting around her ankles as she slipped her apron on, "Now then…I'll be heading out into the back, Flynn!"
Flynn gave a nod as he watched his mother head off outside into their little farm in the back, living in Sicily, Italy was nice. Though he disliked the distance his mother traveled to Venice for their produce shop. He wished she would just open a stand in the market here instead of driving that far. Well might as well do some research on this Hetalia unit his mother accidently ordered.
Marianna gave a slight hum as she went about the garden; it seemed the tomatos were ripe and ready to be harvested! Giggling a bit she began to put them into her basket, it was another typical day after all. Having moved here from Ireland after her husband passed away was a good move on her part but she worried about Flynn at times, they left Ireland when he was five so he still has an accent but it was so adorable! Glancing back at the house she saw his spiky blond hair appearing just barley from the window, "Oh? He is at the computer…" well he must be studying so she will let it slide. With that she got back to work, humming a little tune.
Meanwhile inside the house Flynn gazed at the episode of Hetalia he was watching. This was full of random crack and idiocy and they were made into units? What was a unit? An android or something? He felt a bit worried for his mother if they got a unit based off France, Russia, or Prussia. That might be bad. Well he could only pray—oh there was a blog? Let's see it was a blog written by someone who had gotten a Hetalia Unit the same way. Clicking the link, Flynn began to pale as he read. Oh he really didn't want his mother to be left alone now with them…to whatever deity there was…please let them get someone sane!
When Marianna walked back into the house she was not expecting to see her seven year old son watching anime on the computer or looking traumatized. What had happened? "Flynn?" calling softly to her son she watched him jump, turn the pc off and rush over and hug her around the waist, "Eh?"
"Mother, I don't like Russia." Flynn's voice was muffled in his mother's slightly dirty apron, tilting his head up slightly, he gazed at her with his large blue eyes, and "…I hope we don't get him."
"Um? Okay?" Marianna used her free hand which wasn't holding the basket to gently ruffle her son's hair, "Well I need to wash these tomatos, Flynn." Noticing the time she gently moved him back slightly with a smile, "Go wash up for dinner now, Flynn." With that she started off towards the kitchen. What should she make tonight? Maybe Eggplant Parmesan? Yes. That sounded just delightful!
Flynn gave a soft sigh as he cleaned up his homework, putting it away into his school bag, placing his book back onto the book shelf before heading up the stairs towards the bathroom for a quick shower. Well his mother was actually the type to be scary with a smile—almost like that Unohana Retsu lady from Bleach…yes he read manga sometimes. He wasn't a total stuffy pants like his classmates said he was! Pouting to himself, he turned the shower on awaiting the warm water, "…I really hope we don't get Russia…"

The first chapter is very short and for those of you who find this story familiar, I am the original author. I had an old account I don't use anymore (Was actually finally able to get into it but I wont use it anymore) and you can ask Elite Kessu if you do not believe me.
Now then if you are Familiar with Tales of Vesperia, I took the last name from that series since I couldn't find anything else that fit with Flynn and it just sounds good. Also it fits my character's appearance and what not.
As you can can tell Marianna will be the unit owner.
I thought it would be interesting to have an actual adult female (Or male) to be the owner since it is always someone underaged or a teenager or a woman in their early or mid twenties.
Also a single mother at that. Yup. Thought would be interesting at that time...now then I go with a realistic sense in my writings and try to get all corners done and find connections and what not so I do my research.
Please don't be that person and yell at me when you ask me to show you my logic, research and all that other stuff. It's a bit childish, I mean you asked and then you know that I did my best to get all the facts right and straight...and then say I am wrong? Well whatever the case is I write because I want to write and have fun.
Getting a review even if it is insults in the form of constructive criticism is nice or getting complimented. Even just a ghost read or an alert for alert story update or favorite is nice. Though I honestly can not be the only author who thinks its annoying to simply get a pairing review or a "Good chapter" or "Update soon" Or "Good Chapter, Update soon" how was it a good chapter? I want to know if possible~!
If you see anything wrong let me know. I re-read it and I think its fine though I might be missing some punctuation.
Well anyways R & R!
