ZaphiraX: Heey everyone. I just had to write this Fanfic. I really love the brother love England has for America. I am very sad that the bond between those two broke because of America, so now I'm going to heal that bond XD. I hope you like it. P.S. this is NOT yaoi. They won't have sexual intimacy in this Fanfic.

Chapter 1: A sad memory

Arthur is working behind a desk. He's economy is getting from bad to worse. He takes a short break and looks outside the window behind his chair. The rain is pouring down like always. This time however, the sky was very dark. "Just like that day." Arthur thinks and tears slowly fill his eyes. He remembers the time when America wanted to be free. He remembers it so well, he's breaking inside.

The Sky is dark and rain pours down. America and England facing each other. Both in their uniforms. America in blue and England in red. Both a musket in the hand. Both are aiming at each other, but neither has any intend on shooting.

'Hey, England. I want freedom after all. I'm not a child anymore, nor your little brother. Now, I'm seceding from you!' America is clenching his teeth and England is wavering. England runs forward and is ready to strike with his musket.

' I won't allow…' America's musket is flying through the air and England is panting, his musket aimed at America. 'Your incompetence is outstanding, you twat!' a commander on America's side orders fire but all the army does is aim. America is shocked and England lowers his gun. 'There's no way I can fire… Fool…' England says bitterly.

The musket falls to the ground and England follows as he falls on his knees, a hand in front of his face. 'Dammit! Why! Shit!' England shakes and cries softly. America just stands there, shocked of what he saw. 'England.' America remembers taking England's hand and walking home together. 'You were so big then.' America mutters as he watches England cry.

A tear falls down his face, but he wipes it away when he hears someone on the door knock. 'You may enter.' Arthur says loudly. A girl with long blonde hair entered the room. She has a plain white dress with a green layer over it. There are clovers sewn on the green layer. 'Ireland, what are you doing here? Don't you have famine right now?' Arthur asks worriedly.

(Ireland was struck by the Great Famine caused by a potato blight that struck crops over a four – year period from 1845 – 49)

'Please, Onii – sama. You can call me Claire.' The girl said with a smile. 'Scotland Nii – sama and Wales Nii – sama are very worried. They said that you haven't left this room in a very long time. Arthur looks down with a sad smile. 'Onii – sama, would you like to tell me what's been bothering you for so long? Maybe I can help.'

'Ire… Claire, did you know that you have one more brother?' Claire was shocked by that sentence. She is very young, so she doesn't know much about Arthur. 'His name is Alfred, but you know him as America.' The girl was totally shocked. She never knew she had such a big brother. 'Well, actually. He doesn't want to be my younger brother anymore.' Claire saw the sad look on Arthur's face.

'Please, don't give up hope.' Claire said with sad eyes. 'I'm sure America will understand your feelings if you talk with him about them.' Arthur looked back outside and remained silent. 'I'm sure things will turn out well. After all, you've been such a good brother to me.' Claire tries to convince him. 'I will excuse myself now. You are very busy, so I don't want to disturb you.' She says with a fake smile. She runs away. she's heading for America.

Counseling room:

America was discussing things with China and Russia. Claire knocks politely and opens the door when she hears a cheerful come in. America was still talking to China and Russia. The one who called her in was France. He was surprised by the little girl, but not long. 'Heey lovely lady. Would you like to have dinner with me? I'm sure it'll be fun.' Francis starts, but Claire ignores him and walks to Alfred.

'Excuse me.' Claire kindly asked Alfred's attention. 'I would like to talk to you. It's very important.' Alfred is surprised and nobody in the room knows who she is. 'Please, It's about my brother.' All the people in the room were looking at her with surprise. Brother?

Alfred gave Claire a kind smile. 'What's your name?' Claire smiled politely. 'I am so sorry. I guess it's only normal that nobody knows me. I'm not that old yet.' She says with a light blush. 'My name is Claire Darcy, but everyone knows me as Ireland.' Everyone looks at her with puzzled faces, but suddenly, Francis remembers the name Ireland.

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.' He shouts across the room. 'You're that little country next to great – Britain.' Francis yelled through the room. 'So in short, you want to talk to America about England?' Francis asked and everyone looked at her with surprised faces. Claire nodded with a serious face. Alfred's smile faded and he sighed once. Talking about his ex – brother is something he hated more than anything.

It's not that Alfred hates Arthur, he always feels guilty when he thinks back to the day that he became free. Arthur was so sad. It broke Alfred from the inside. Alfred then suddenly realizes that Arthur hasn't come to the counseling room for quite a while. "Is Arthur sick?" Alfred thought. "I guess this lady here will give me the answer."

'America, do you hate my brother?' Claire said with a sad face. Alfred was surprised by the question, but turned serious. 'No, I don't hate him. Many people think that way because of the revolution, but I don't hate him.' Alfred said. " It's breaking me inside. I never wanted to hurt Arthur like I did on that day. Arthur was like a father and a brother to me. He's so special to me." Alfred thought and Claire smiled.

'Then there is nothing left for me to do. I know this may look weird to you, but I'm sure you'll understand why.' Claire said and started to walk away but was stopped by Alfred. 'Where is England? He hasn't come for a few days now and I'm worried.' Alfred asked, his face still serious. Claire turned sad again.

'He is very busy because of the economic crisis. He's doing all he can to support himself right now.' Alfred looked at the skinny girl. Ireland has relied on England for a very long time. America stayed strong after he got independent, but Ireland not. She grew weak and fragile. She gave Alfred a sad smile and ran away.

ZaphiraX: I'm going to make a very beautiful story out of this. And for the people who are wondering why Ireland is a girl. 1. There are a lot of men, but not very much women. 2. England never had a loving and kind sibling. They all hurt him or left him. He has my pity. Ireland is going to be a cute and kind sibling XD. (Which is actually pretty bad, because Ireland hates England.)

GLIL: It doesn't matter. England has a cute and kind baby sister XD.
