OCs!
This is the introduction
Here are the names for the countries so no one gets confuse ^^
Guatemala - Itza
El Salvador - Isidro
Honduras - Suyapa
Costa Rica - Jose
Nicaragua - Tomas
The five countries receive a "Happy Birthday" card from an unknown source fifteen days before their actual birth date. They were very confused about it. No one really sent them "Happy Birthday" cards anymore.
"Itza did you get one?" Isidro asked waving a card to her
"Si… I think that whoever sent it doesn't know our birth dates" she said preparing herself to cook
"Estúpido" Isidro mutter
"How do you know is a guy?" she asked, almost not paying attention
"No se… but I think it is!" he got up and put the letter to her big sister's eyes "Is a man's handwriting! Can't you see?!"
They were still talking when Suyapa came rushing through the door with Jose and Tomas in either side of her.
She threw her brothers to the floor and went to see Itza.
"¿Comida?" Her face lighted up forgetting the reason she came for "Oh! I want tortillas y frijoles y fresco de—"
"¡Suyapa! Why did you come rushing here?" her sister asked
"Well, some estúpido send me a letter saying: `Happy birthday my sweet Orquídea' ¿Que pasa con eso? I'm no one's Orquídea…" then she realized it
"We try to tell you hermana but you ignore us… No one calls us by those nicknames just…" Tomas said cleaning his clothes
"Antonio" Jose said with a smirk on his cute face
Everyone turn to Jose, he was the youngest of all of them.
"Whatever, that old man is crazy! Why would he send these cards to us? We're not related anymore." Suyapa said throwing her card in the floor
"Calm down Suyapa" Isidro said "Is not like he stopped sending them…" he said quietly
"Que dijiste?" she asked getting exasperated "Don't talk to me! I'm still angry at you for what you did in 'El Golfo de Fonseca' this year."
"I thought you were okay with everything!" Isidro said "We talked about it with our bosses recently, we're even presenting that to Mr. Alfred!"
Suyapa closed her mouth and picked up her birthday card. She looked at the others
"I'm sorry. I… I don't know I don't even have an excuse for my attitude. I'm just frustrated. I need some vacation time and I won't have one in a long time." Suyapa said letting a big sigh out
Her face became very pained and frustrated. She looked like that recently everything about her made her sick. Isidro was sick too, but not as bad as her. She had the worse health of all of them lately.
"Suyapa sit down" Tomas said "Do you want water?"
"Si, por favor" she said "sorry…"
"Are you all staying to eat today?" Itza said preparing some tortillas
"Si" they all said
"You cook like mama used to cook. We love it." Jose said
Itza made the food while the other younger siblings were talking about the conditions on each of their countries. Like always Isidro and Suyapa were the worse ones. Violence everywhere, almost no places to find peace.
They try so hard everyday.
Everyone had their problems but those two were the worse.
It might have been something to do with their past. Maybe if they had stayed together in the Federation they would have had a beautiful present. But they were all mess up now.
They did try to get together up to three times but the third time was the final.
They all wanted something to be a successful free country.
But they all came out with scars and doubts.
Spain wasn't there to look after them, their mother wasn't there maybe it was for the best; or so they thought.
The food was quite tasty it was yucca with beans and tortillas, something that they all ate quite often.
"The food is amazing as always!" Tomas said
"Close your mouth when you're eating!" Jose said laughing
"Look who's talking!" a voice said
They turned around, it was Antonio.
"I didn't think I would meet all of you here!" he said cheerfully
They all smile
The five countries were happy to see him.
Who wouldn't? After all he raised all of them
"¡Oh mis niños son tan bellos!" Antonio said while he hugged them and petted them
"Why did you send those cards?" Jose asked
"Because I wanted to congratulate you guys on… you know…"
They all looked at him.
He never said "Your independence" because it always hurt him.
"Why did you come then?" Suyapa asked "If you already send the birthday cards?"
"Because I'm going to have a family reunion soon, and since is this month I wanted to take you to Spain with me!" He said jumping up and down "So we can bond and be happy together"
"Don't you have things to solve?" Isidro asked "Like problems of your country and things like that?"
"Yes Izote*, but I wanted to take you guys this year. South America went last year and next year I will take the Caribbean babies!" He said with a big smile on his face
"How long are we staying?" Isidro asked
"Three days"
The central American countries looked at each other.
Tomas was the first to get up.
"We will go" Itza said smiling sweetly "Sounds like a good idea"
"We only have to talk to our bosses" said Tomas
"Don't worry!" Antonio said hugging him "I've already fix everything!"
Guatemala is the big sister she's kind and tends to calm down all of her siblings, she's kind of the head of the family; El Salvador (second child) is a fighter, he loves it, he's sweet at times and can be stubborn, he gets in quarrels often with Honduras; Honduras is a little sassy and does whatever she wants and pretends everything is okay when is not, she does get depress over her situation right now she's the middle child; Nicaragua (fourth child) loves his lakes and is quite proud of them, most of the time he is serious but when he's with the family he tends to be a "free bird" opinioned but very loving towards family; Costa Rica is the youngest he's happy most of the time, is the one that has the best house in all of central America he loves his siblings but often tends to not trust them.
So here's the things that are true. Last spring Salvadorean Navy kill one of the fishers man from Honduras so that brings some hard feelingson both countries, but recently Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua have been talking and they have come to a nice stop :D so everyone inthe south region of this three countries are better off. But is not only that particular navy. There are various cases in the gulf that involves the countries, all of them are guilty. Some do some days, and some don't.
Thank you for reading!
