Ch01- Meeting the nation and the citizens~
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, or ant of these characters, except the new nation.
Austria had been looking for years... Finally after years of unsuccessful searches he finally found it. The island soon to be named Hoffnungen. As he looked at the land he could feel that it was a good nation. A nation that would help him prosper. Finally, he sees a little girl with a weird hair on her hair. "Excuse me, Whats your name?"
They little girl just frowned and crossed her arms. "Why? Whats it to you?"
Austria was shocked. How could a little girl speak so rudely to him. "My name is Austria. I've come here, and would like to know what your name is. Are you the island?"
The girl turned away. "I don't have to answer to you bull shit."
Austria's eyes widened. "A-Aren't you rude!"
The little girl turned back to him. Her arms stretched out and and her teeth showing. "What did you say you little asshole! Isn't it rude to speak so rudely aboot someone behind their backs!"
Austria put his hand on his head. She said aboot... But she also had a German accent. What? Was she Russian too! "My sincere apologies, my lady."
Hoffnungen just stood there, arms crossed. Her brown, wavy, short hair waving violently in the wind. "Well, bye Mr. Asshole." The girl twirled around like a princess and started walking away.
"Wait! I'm very far away from home... Can I please stay the night?" Said Austria as he chased after her.
The girl stopped and put her fingers to her chin. She could see the pleading in his eyes. "Arg... Fine... But you must leave in the morning... And dont even think aboot coming back, Da!"
Austria wiped his face with his hands. "Oh... No..." Yup... She is Russian as well.
Austria started walking along with the girl. "So... Are you this island? I was hoping if you would like to give me some supplies."
The girl shrugged. "As long as you and your stingy ass doesn't take all my supplies... Sure! You'll be my first trading partner."
Austria knew the wrong words out of his mouth could have her mauling his face. Russian, really? Not to mention Canadian and German. Canadians are polite though... How could this little brat be part Canadian? "So tell me... Whats your name?"
"My name is Hoffnungen. A bunch of people drifted away in a boat crash a few weeks ago. They were made of mostly Germans and Austrians, But there were a few Canadians and Russians. We also have Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, English, American, Italian... And... Well... A lot of other nationalities as well."
Austria's face grew grim. Of coarse. The only non violent countries in this island is Italy, Canada, and Finland... If Finland counted. "So your a gathering of violence? Great!"
Hoffnungen turns around with her eyes sparking like flames. Her mouth was twisted and her face looked just simply terrifying. "What did you just say you Dumb ass?"
"Um! I said you're a gathering of... Um... Experience? That's so great!" Austria knew that they would never get along well.
After introducing Austria to all 500 people on the huge island, Austria was shown to his room in Hoffnungen... Mansion? "Here's the kitchen, living room... Um... Here's the bathroom for your room and here's your room. NEVER go into the room at the end of the hall or else you wont be returning home in one piece.
Austria gulped. "You said that you guys have only been here a few weeks... How could this mansion be built here in only that little time?"
Hoffnungen giggled. "Because these people are nice. They help each other. All 500 people worked on this mansion together. There are aboot 300 more just like it. We only need one more to complete all that we need for all the families. The family that's left said that we should wait a week or two before building any more, so thy are staying here in my mansion."
"How did you get so much work done in so little time, and so few people? And how did you get all the materials? There are endless diamonds and gold pieces engraved into the walls!"
Hoffnungen shrugged again. "We have mines that are full of minerals and stuff. The plates under us instead of pushing down crumble away then leave all the minerals on the surface. Or at least close to it. We still have to work harder to find food and clean, non salty water. I made a ship by myself and go off every so often to go to Spain, Portugal, England, Ireland and other close by countries to try to sell some of our materials to get some foods. Although I dont usually bring back anything from England. Anyways... I better get started on dinner today. You want anything?"
Austria smiled. "Why yes. If you have any, Ill take some coffee."
Hoffnungen sighed. "Ill see what I can do you snob..."
At dinner, Austria was sipping his coffee. The family was there, although it didn't seem like much of a family. A little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, and her mom with black hair and green eyes. They looked nothing alike but you could tell by the atmosphere that they were mom and daughter.
"So... How are you ladies?"
The girl smiled, but the mom looked weary. The girl who looked around 15 or 16, ran up to him and excitedly shook his hand. "Hello Dude! My name is Leanne! Its a pleasure to meet you! Whats your name, Mister?"
Her mom took hold of her shoulder. "Now Leanne... Calm down. I'm sure this man doesn't like to be bothered too much."
Austria continued sipping his coffee. He was confused. Who were these people? "My name is Austria."
The women smiled. "I'm Leanne's friend, Kappa."
Austria was surprised. He widened his eyes in amazement. All he could do was look back at his coffee. Then Hoffnungen came in with some Churros, Tomatoes, and croissants. Spain and France must have gotten a visit from this little nation. "Okay. So you guys go ahead and eat. I have work to attend to. Ass hat! You can explore my house but you cant touch anything. And remember. Don't go into the room at the end of the hallway!"
Austria sat there. He didn't know what to do. "What kind of work do you have to do? I could help you."
Hoffnungen just turned away and responded quietly. "No you cant..."
Austria looked at the small plates of food. Kappa took a croissant. "She can get to be a little anti social sometimes. Running an entire nation by herself without a boss can be tiring. I believe that all she needs is a family to help point her in the right direction. But little girls have to be convinced to be brought into a family. Brought into a lonely hard working family."
Austria knew instantly what the lady was aiming towards. He stood up, walked right by the table of food and into the office that Hoffnungen had walked into. "What the fucking bloody hell did I tell you! Get out of here!"
Austria, despite her words of frustration, walked inside and sat next to her. She had 2 rolling chairs, a desk, a stack of papers, a few iron cabinets, and some pens and pencils. What is a nation at her age doing being so mature?She didn't have a single visible drawing of anything. Not unicorns, or fairies or anything but letters on a stack of countless papers. You could smell the determination and sweat. The walls weren't decorated or painted. They were just stone plates. And a small, dim light made it in through the window, that had blinds down almost completely. "I came here to help. I want you to trust me."
Hoffnungen just clenched her fists and jumped angrily from her chair. " I said you cant fucking help you fucking ball of shit!"
Austria took her anger better than before. "What kind of work do you have to work on?"
She suddenly turned toward her desk and flung a bunch of papers that were in the middle of her desk into a drawer. "Who the fuck do you think you are asking a lady aboot her personal business, Ve?"
Her accent was slowly turning from German to Italian. "So when you're calm, you speak like a Russian, but hen you're angry... You're Italian? That doesn't make sense!"
Hoffnungen slaps Austria across the face. "Are you insulting me?"
"And you can be straight forward too! You are honest, unpredictable and stubborn!"
Hoffnungen collapsed into her chair. She rubbed her eyes with her naked arm. Austria finally noticed that she was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He really didn't notice before this, but he was happy that he finally broke through her. "Fine you jerk bastard! I get a little overwhelmed with all the wok I do... So I..." Hoffnungen finally reached back into the cabinet that held the papers she threw into. "I Do this sometimes..."
She held a paper out to Austria. "This is..." She had a beautifully drawn picture of the girl the said her name was Leanne. "You are amazing!"
Hoffnungen shook her head. "No! I not only draw horribly but I do this sometimes instead of the work I should be doing!"
Austria smiled. "Well... You are a young nation. You have so much responsibility and yet, you do a lot of the work. You need some alone time sometimes. I understand how that feels..."
Hoffnungen looks at the picture. "But... Hmph! Get the fuck out of here!"
Finally, Austria listened. Instead of exploring, he went straight to his room and fell asleep.
The next morning, Austria was off to his country. He stepped onto his boat to leave, But was stopped by the yelling of a familiar voice. "Wait! Don't leave without me!"
It was Hoffnungen. "What? Hoffnungen? What are yo doing here?"
She was carrying a very small bag. "I didn't say you could leave without me!"
Austria realizes that even though she was still bitter, He was able to get through to her. "So, what I said yesterday made you want to come with me?"
Hoffnungen threw her stuff on the ship. "Hey! Shut the fuck up!"
Hoffnungen climbed aboard, when another yell came from behind them. "No! Take her with you!"
Hoffnungen turned around along side with Austria, who you could tell wasn't very happy about stopping twice. "Kappa? What are you and Leanne doing here?"
Kappa stopped in front of the ship. "Please take Leanne with you... I cant come, but she can have a better life in Austria."
Leanne shook her head. "No! I told you a hundred time! I'm not leaving without you! Why do you refuse to come?"
Kappa pat Leanne's back. "Because my place is here. You can be taken better care of by Austria... Do you promise to take very good care of Leanne?"
Hoffnungen nodded. "We can try." Hoffnungen felt sad towards the two friends leaving, but she could tell that it was for the better.
Austria's face became grim again. "Didn't she ask me if I could take care of her? Not you!"
Hoffnungen shrugged, obviously pretending not to care. "So..."
Leanne slowly stepped on the ship. Her golden hair was brushed out. She had very few belongings with her. She was wearing a tank top with a turtle neck. It had 2 large flaps with 2 buttons each. She had a heart shaped hair pin that was flat and white,, but how it was painted, black made it look like it popped up. Her skirt was layered by 3, each layer having another flap. She wore brown boots with fur coming out the top and two fur balls dangling from strings. As she turned around, she waved her hands in the air."I'll miss all of you guys! Especially you. Kappa!"
