Tears blurred my vision. The wind pulled my hair back away from my head. My face was going numb with cold. I screamed.
"WOOHOO!" I stuck my hands out and then felt two hands grab me and pull me back inside the car. The wind stopped and my vision cleared.
"You need to be more careful or your head will get knocked off and blood will spray everywhere and I will laugh." I voice said next to me. I turned to see my cousin, Aria, with a playful smile on her face. Her eyes were still locked on the road.
"You're one to talk. We could have crashed the moment you took your hands away from the wheel." I retorted. Aria rolled her eyes.
"I can drive with my knees, Jessica." Aria said. I huffed and fell back into my seat. I was supposed to be staying with my 18-year-old cousin Aria while my mom went on a trip around the world. So not fair. But I didn't complain, I liked Aria. She has teased me about a lot of things, but never about my eyes or hair. That's the subject around where most of the teasing occurs back at my school in California. My hair is pure white, reaching down to my waist, so I usually keep it in two pigtails. My eyes are two unearthly colors, the left one gold and the right one red. It was a popular subject at school for a while, then something interesting happened, and everybody soon forgot about it. There was still the occasional teasing, but most everybody just left me alone.
We drove all the way to her house, in which I would be staying. Aria informed me that her friends would be coming over to help with the unpacking.
"Their names are Jordyn and Camryn." Aria said, dragging the last of the boxes through the door.
"What about Reina?" I asked.
"Reina got a job at a nearby store, she'll be over to visit this weekend. " Aria said.
"This weekend… isn't that the meteor shower?" I asked excitedly. I loved space, and anything to do with stars, planets, and even the possibility of other intelligent life forms. I hoped to get into college and become an astronomer.
"I assume you want to go?" Aria played. She knew the answer to that.
"AW, FRANCE YEAH~!" I said, punching my fist in the air.
"'Aw, France yeah' what?" a voice said from the doorway. I whipped around and saw two girls standing in the doorway.
"Look at this, they actually decided to show up somewhat on time." Aria teased.
"Yup!" The taller of the two said. I pointed at them.
"ARIA! STRANGER DANGER!" I screamed. The shorter girl mimicked me and then put her hands back at her sides.
"FINE! Geez, Jessica, these are my friends Jordyn and Camryn. Jordyn and Camryn, this is my cousin Jessica." Aria introduced us. The shorter of the two, Jordyn, was wearing a white shirt with Sebastian from Black Butler dressed as a pink-spotted cow on it and a black and white striped jacket over it. She also had on red skinny jeans with converse up to her knees. Her hair fell to her shoulders and was brown-blonde streaked. Her side bangs were kept back by a single bobby-pin. The taller girl, Camryn, was wearing a black 'Alice in Wonderland' jacket with a gray shirt underneath and jeans with black converse.
"We are here to be of service!" Camryn yelled. She started to unpack boxes with Jordyn. I accepted this as normal and began to unpack boxes as well.
It was around 5:30 when we finally finished unpacking all the boxes, and we were starving. Aria popped up to go to the kitchen to see what she could find that was edible.
"HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WE'RE OUT OF SUSTENANCE!" I heard her scream from the kitchen. She charged out of the kitchen and grabbed me by the collar on her way out the door, almost successfully cutting off my air supply. Jordyn and Camryn followed us out without a word.
"Ack! Where are we going?" I gasped, caught by surprise at the sudden lack of oxygen flowing through my body.
"Chili's~" Aria sang. I rolled my eyes. Chili's was one of her favorite restaurants; I knew she was going to pick that. "Then we must venture to Wally-World to buy sustenance." She said, pulling out the keys to her car. Sustenance… why couldn't she just say food? It's not that hard. Easier than saying 'sustenance'.
After we had finished off dinner and were done shopping, we headed back to Aria's house. Aria turned onto a road that I knew didn't lead back to her house.
"Hey, where are we going? This isn't the way back to your house." I told her.
"That's right. I wanted to see if there were any early meteors." She said. I submitted to this and watched the landscape flash by my window.
It was around 7:30 when we finally reached the place that we used for viewing stars. The sun was already below the horizon and you could see the bright stars dotting the sky.
"Pretty~" Aria said, gazing at the stars. I couldn't help but to nod my head in agreement when something flashed in the sky.
"What was that?" Camryn asked, leaning forward and squinting her eyes to look into the distance.
"I don't know… HOLY ****, GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Jordyn screamed, diving to the side. We followed her lead and no sooner had we hidden did a bright flash of light pass by and I felt the ground tremor under me as something crashed. After the vibrations stopped, we all crawled from out hiding places to inspect the damage. Behind the hill was a large smoldering rock that looked like a meteorite. Aria ran straight up to the rock, but then decided against it and took a few steps back to gain a respectful distance.
"What is it?" Camryn asked, cautiously approaching.
"I don't know…" Jordyn replied. Something appeared from behind the rock, looking like a small gray humanoid with large red eyes. Aria gasped.
"OMG Tony! I haven't seen you in forever! Is America with you?"Aria asked excitedly. Tony? The little alien dude from Hetalia? America? What is going on here?
Ok, so moving along. Tony handed Aria something that looked like a button.
"What's this do?" Aria asked. The little alien, supposedly Tony, did not respond. Without thinking about the consequences, Aria pressed the button. Everything faded to black.
I woke up with a throbbing pain in my head. The light burned my eyes and my body ached painfully. I felt like a drunk England. I blinked my eyes into focus.
"Dude, what should we do? They're still out cold!" I heard a familiar voice say.
"I know you git, give me a minute to think." I British accented voice shouted back. 'Oh no, please no.' I thought. I moaned involuntarily and lifted my head to look around. We were back at Aria's house, and the voices sounded like they were downstairs. I stumbled down the steps, my head still pounding. When I got downstairs, an unpleasant sight greeted me. Long list of countries right here: America, Canada, England, Russia, Japan, Italy, Germany, Prussia, Spain, Romano, France, Sealand, and China.
"So, it's about time for lunch, who wants food?" I asked. Italy immediately raised his hand.
"PASTAAAA~" he shouted.
"mmkay. ARIA, GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!" I screamed. The sound of things crashing to the ground came from upstairs and Aria tumbled down.
"WHAT THE FRANCE DO YOU- Oh, hey, it's the countries! Hi guys!" Aria greeted. My jaw dropped to the ground.
"You… you already know them?" I asked. Aria nodded.
"Yeah, I'll explain later. Who wants food?" Aria turned to the countries. Everybody raised their hands this time. Aria walked into the kitchen and everybody sat down in the living room. After a while, Jordyn and Camryn came downstairs as well, studying the scene before them. Then Camryn sat on France. Something told me that they were going to be best friends (raping buddies, more like it). Jordyn sat down next to Sealand and started chatting away about… I'm not sure what she was talking about. I walked over to Spain and Romano, deciding to at least try and be friendly.
"Hi, my name's Jessica." I said, extending my hand.
"Hola Jessica, me llamo España." Spain said, extending his hand. I don't know Spanish, but I assume that 'España' means 'Spain'.
"My name's Romano." The southern nation introduced himself, also shaking my hand. I noticed their gazes inspecting my hair and eyes.
"Yeah, my hair and eyes are pretty weird, aren't they? You get used to it after a while." I twisted a lock of my hair around my finger. I felt arms slip around me. I squealed and flipped my attacker over my shoulder, barely missing Spain and Romano as they got out of the range of fire.
"Oof!" The person I flipped said. I opened my eyes and saw France lying in front of me, Camryn poking him. England walked over to look at this.
"I trust you're related to Aria?" he asked. I nodded my head.
"How'd you know?" I asked sarcastically. England smiled and kicked France. I laughed and walked over to where America and Canada were sitting.
"Yo, dudette! That was an awesome move!" America yelled. I cringed at the volume of his voice.
"Thanks. Aria was the one who taught me how to fight, though." I replied.
"That explains a lot." Canada said, nodding towards France who still looked like he was unconscious. I decided to see the only micro-nation in the house, Sealand. It looks like England beat me to it.
"Shut up you British jerk of jerks!" I heard Sealand yell. Jordyn squealed and glomped him. I turned my heel and promptly walked away. No use in trying to get her off him.
"Food equals done!" Aria yelled from the kitchen. Everyone dove for the door, except for the more civilized people (i.e. England, Japan, Germany, China, and I. Russia just stayed to creep on China… I think.)
