Chapter 1

(Normal p.o.v.)

Scotland was sitting in his chair, looking out at the woods by the window. He watched the fairies tend to the flowers as he took his cigarette out of his mouth and blew out the smoke. "I need a break from this country of mine," he said as he reached for the phone. He dialed the phone and let it ring. A blond idiot picked up the phone.

"Yo dude, what's up?"

"I have a favor I need to call in."

"Sure dude! What do you need?"

"I need a place to stay and something to do while I'm over at you country."

"Alright, dude! I'll send you the information when I get it. Later!"

America hung up and Scotland sighed as he put the phone on the desk. He ran a gloved hand through his fiery red hair. He got up from his chair and headed to his bedroom to start packing. After a few minutes, all the clothes he need and his favorite spell books were packed away too. Scotland walked pasted his dresser and noticed an old necklace with his clan symbol but the sword part was missing. He remembered back then when he was younger lad.

A woman dressed in white put the necklace around his neck when he turned 10 years old. "Now little one, the necklace can only be complete when you find the girl whose heart is pure like fresh snow. When you find her, protect her with everything you have. She is one in a million. I have to go before they find me." The woman said as she pulled a hood over her face and walked away. The cloak was a pale blue with Celtic designs and runes. She disappeared after the gust of wind came by.

Scotland picked up the necklace and ran his thumb over it. The dust rubbed off to reveal the dark green. 'Maybe, I should take this with me,' he thought as he put the necklace on. The phone rang and he went to pick it up.

"Hello, Scotland speaking."

"Yo dude! I have the information you wanted. You are going to be in high school as a foreign exchange student in California."

"Thanks. This calls us even for one of your favors."

"Aw come on dude! I even got you into the same school as Germany and Prussia!"

"Still this takes care of one!"

Scotland hung up as he groaned. He finished packing up and got a fax from America. The message was telling him about the family he was living with. 'Gilbert and Ludwig…those two really must be crazy.' He thought and he stuffed the paper into his pocket. He grabbed his suitcase and backpack. He got into his car and started it up before he started to drive off to the airport. 'I hope this vacation is worth this,' he thought as he leaned back into the seat.

Scotland looked at the forest he was driving through and saw some of the fairy folk waving at him. He smiles a little as he waved back a little before leaving the forest completely. He looked at the villages that turned into large cities. He drove to the airport and waited an hour and a half for the plane. "18 hours of being on a plane. Good thing that I picked a couple books to read," he said as he leaned back in the seat. He notices something moved out of the corner of his eyes and looked at it. 'What was that?' he thought as he closed my eyes. He fell asleep while the place was taking off to America.

-In California-

Gilbert was looking around the school grounds for one of his friends, Avalon. "Hey Ava! Where are you?" he yelled as she watched him looking around for her. She was sitting on a branch up with a small white dragon with blue eyes sitting on her shoulders and fairies flying around in the leaves. A fairy with yellow hair and blue eyes flew up to her face.

"What's wrong, Ava?" a fairy asked.

"I'm wondering if I will ever fall in love, or is there something darker blocking it, day."

"Oh Ava…I know you'll find him one day. But remember your name is the name of the birth land of magic."

"Your right day, I have to make sure I kept true to it. There's going to be a foreign exchange student staying with Gilbert and Ludwig."

Day shrugged before she disappeared with the dragon as Gilbert climbed up to where she was in the tree. He climbed up to the third highest branch and he frowned at her.

"Why in the hell are you up so high, ava?"

"Cause day was up here and I wanted to be alone."

"I probably can guess the reason. Well Becca is looking for you and I was wondering if I can get a favor."

"Yea, he's back. Let me guess, you want me to go with you to get the foreign exchange student."

Yes. My house at 8:30am tomorrow."

"Okay, I might be at your house tonight. See you on the ground."

She pushed off the branch and jumped into the air. It seemed that she floated down before she touched the ground and dropped to her knee. Gilbert's mouth dropped open as he watched her. He stood up on the branch and jumped off the branch. Instead of floating like Ava, he fell like dead weights on the ground. Gilbert groaned as he slowly stood up. Ava starts laughing.

"What the hell are you laughing at Ava?!"

"You know better! You tried to copy me again!"

"Oh shut up! I'm not the fairy here? "

"What did you say, albino?!" she yelled as her face was red from being pissed off.

"I said fairy!" Gilbert yelled back with a grin. He knew what was going to happen next.

Ava tackled Gilbert and started punching him in the chest and wrestled with him. Gilbert laughed as he sat on Ava for a while before Ava got him pinned into a head lock. Gilbert tapped out and Ava got up with a smirk. She started heading towards her next class before lunch was up. Day appeared on Ava's shoulder as she walked into the art room. She sat by the window as she took out her painting. Day said that it was the isle of Avalon and started telling her the news that she heard. Ava smiled as he started to paint, not knowing her like was about to change.
