Little Runaway
By: Aubrie1234
March, my favorite month of the year, though it never allowed you to have your birthday outside unless you were in the Tropics. Only downside to the month of my birth. At least I lived in a temperate climate, though I wish the crazy weather would stop being crazy. Snow in March in NY... It should be warm in Spring, not the cold Winter! You have a lazy delay time and love to torment us humans, don't you, Jack Frost?
I looked out to the weather outside, yawning. I was NOT a morning person, but at least it was sunny. Well, as sunny it could get when the day was overcast. I typed away on my computer, writing another fanfiction. I was a fan to a lot of various things and sometimes I wished they could come to life. The Hetalia Unit fics were especially interesting. I also wished I could have a dog instead of three cats, but both problems have to do with my house: It didn't have the room. I doubted my parents would like having various countries around anyway. But, I had enough money to buy a house, I was 18, and could move out. One more problem, though: I didn't want to leave the only place I knew as home. Besides, without a boyfriend, why would I have to leave?
I continued to click away adds whenever a new tab came up. That was the problem with my computer. Leave a page loading for too long, adds would pop up everywhere, and soon enough, the page would automatically load to an add page. It nearly made my Dad go crazy, but I was used to it. I continued to close adds until there was one left, a stubborn one that didn't want to close. Usually, I would reload the page to get rid of it, but this one time, I wanted to take a look.
It was a peach color with big, bold green and red words, and on one side, it had the logo of a familiar mint-colored flying fairy bunny.
Oh h**l no... I thought, facepalming. This was just like what happened in some of the other unit fics. But, if it was the real thing, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. I could move out, at least, get a dog, and try to get my attachment to my parents' house under control. I clicked on it, where another, smaller window popped up.
'Congrats, you are one of the first customers for The Flying Mint Bunny Inc. line of Hetalia Units!' it said. Seemed to be the real thing, so I kept reading, 'Our company started up a very short time ago, so we have a special offer for our first 50 customers: Start ordering now, and every new unit we create except the first will be sent to you without any charge. All except the first will be free! Here is the form application:' I scrolled down the window to find that it needed my name, my email, my phone number, my address, and what unit I would like to receive first, which could come in regular, teenage, or chibi form. If it came in chibi or teenage form, it would eventually grow up to normal form in a few weeks to a few months, depending on the unit and what form it was in. To my surprise, they even had 2P!s. Also, the first unit, since the company was just starting, would be 50-100 dollars, depending on the unit I bought and what form in came in.
I then got an idea and rushed to my Dad's room, peeking in. Being the artist that he is, he was in the middle of working on some stuff, probably to sell or for a comic. It has happened before.
"Daddy?" He glanced up.
"Yes?"
"I'm planning to move out soon, and I know where to do it."
"Your grandparents' house?" I wasn't surprised. I had expressed moving there many a time, since they didn't need it anymore. I was lucky, as he always told me, that I still had both pairs of grandparents. I nodded.
"I was also planning on getting a dog, like I've always said, and maybe renovate a bit..."
"You know you're going to have to find a job as well, Aubrie, and that your mother needs to know about this." he said, moving into a more comfortable position as he continued coloring in whatever he had drawn, "Also, it's out in the country, mainly. What are you going to do all the way out there?" I smiled.
"I'm not gonna say." I said sweetly.
Eventually, when Momma came home, they agreed. There would be the whole legal process of transferring the home, of course, but I went back to my laptop, typed in all the info (the address was the one of my grandparents' house) and chose which unit I would like to start off with. When I did so, I also saw a few options for what forms I would like my units to be in when they came: Chibi, Teenager, Normal, or Surprise Me! Of course, I chose the last one, and the unit I ordered would come in 3-5 days. Plenty of time for me to move and get all my stuff.
I put the last book into the bookshelf and stepped back. I loved the home the way it was already, so I didn't decorate it with anything except a few pictures and a lot of posters. There were so many I had to tape a few to the ceiling. I wonder what my unit would think of the place when he arrived. One reason I loved the house was that I came here a lot in my childhood and loved it nearly as much as my parents' home. Another reason was because, whenever I came down here, I was always getting back in touch with nature. The place was almost completely surrounded by a forest, but still had enough of a clearing around it to allow you to see several yards.
It was one story with a basement, and both driveways were gravel. There was one up to the porch, and another leading to the garage in the basement. Beside the house, where the driveway to the basement was, was an old shed and a long rusty metal house-thing. Both held farming supplies, but I never knew why the house-thing was there. On the other side of the house, near the other driveway, was a swing set, a small slide, a kiddy bench-thing that swung like the swings, and some sort of canoe thing that also swung like the swings and you could ride like a horse. Everything was a dark blue and a sun-bleached yellow-white. Behind the house was a large field that my grandpa used to use to grow a vegetable garden in, and far off from the house was...something. I'm still not clear on what it is, either, but it was a large metal box away from the rest of the house. I think it was some sort of air unit or something, but I wasn't sure.
In the basement was all sorts of weird stuff, and was also where I would go sometimes to play around when the cars weren't parked there, like with the trampoline, the small place for a mini-woodshop, or just with some of the crazy stuff around. Man, it had been a long time since I saw this place. A few years at least!
Since I was moving here, I had brought all the stuff from my room and bought some new furniture and food. The only things left were my cute doggie, my unit, and probably some renovations. I'd have to wait on getting the dog, though, until I settled in. It had taken two days to get everything set up over here, so I would meet the unit tomorrow. I hoped he lived the place, because if he didn't...well, let's just say no one disses my home.
Yes, I have finally jumped on the Hetalia Unit bandwagon! Wonder who the first unit will be? Well, read & review, and the next chapter will tell you! I'm also not saying if these places I'm describing are real or not. You decide.
