Song Of Hope: Just know that I'm going to try and write a 9/11 story every year, even if it is late like this one. R&R

"Hey Madoka, I need some repairs done for Leone. Can you get them done?" Madoka was not facing the person that came in, but knew instantly whom it was.

"No problem Hope." She turned around and wasn't shocked at her friend's sudden change of appearance. Instead of her usual outfit, she was wearing her hair in a high ponytail with a bow were one side was red and white stripped and the other was blue with white stars, dark blue eye liner and mascara, white eye-shadow, red lipstick, American Flag earrings and necklace, a red and white stripped (in fact, seven red stripes and 6 white stripes) form fitting shirt with long sleeves that were connected only at the armpit and were blue with white stars, a ring with a red stone and a gold band on her left ring finger, American Flag skinny jeans, and red ballet flats with blue soles and a white star on the inside facing part of the shoe. She handed Madoka her Leone.

"Thanks Madoka."

"I'd forgotten what today was, and how Patriotic you get on today."

"I may live in Nihon, but I'm still an Amerikan, with Amerikan pride." Kyoya walked in.

"Leone needs some repairs." Madoka glared at him.

"Well, you could be a bit nicer about it, and besides, I have to fix Hope's Bey first. She got here before you did." He looked around.

"I don't see her." Hope glared.

"Are you really that dense?!" Kyoya's eyes widened.

"Wait, you're Hope?!" She sighed.

"Watashi wa baka ni kakoma rete imasu." He was confused.

"What?"

"It's Eigo. I'm Amerikan you baka!"

"I'm guessing you're not going to explain what those words mean." She smirked.

"Not a chance koneko, at least not short of the fact that they're English. If you don't know, then you really are a baka koneko." Madoka laughed.

"That's a bit mean Hope."

"At least I didn't say rokudenashi. Now that's nasty." Madoka's jaw dropped.

"Watch your language!" Hope looked a bit ashamed.

"Sorry." Kyoya still looked a bit confused.

"I've never heard you actually speak in English before. And why are you dressed like that?"

"Because, watashi no meiwakuna koneko, it's 9/11."

"9/11?" Hope nodded.

"Yeah. That was the day, in 2001, that terrorists crashed two planes into the Sekai Bōeki Sentā in Nyū Yōku Ichi. They also crashed one into the Gokakukei, and a field in Penshirubenia-shū. The last one was because the passengers of the flight found out what was going on, so they took down the terrorists and forced them to crash into that field instead."

"That doesn't explain why you're dressed like American DJ, except weirder."

"Over 3000 people died that day. After that, America declared war on terror. They've been sending people to the Chūtō to find these terrorists and stop them. It's been going on for a few years now. And, when I was in Erementarī school, or primary school here, we did a ceremony for those who had died in the Tsuintawā and for those who went to the Chūtō to serve our country. At school, kids dressed up in red, white, and blue, the colors of the Amerikan Kokki. It was to show pride for our country, and support for our senshi. I may not live in Amerika anymore, but I'm still a proud Amerikan. I'm proud to be an Amerikan, and I always will be, even in Nihon." He shrugged.

"Well, whatever, it doesn't concern me. I want Leone fixed by tomorrow." He left his Bey on the counter and walked out before Madoka could say anything. She looked pretty steamed.

"I am so gonna kill him!"

"It can't be helped that he's the world's largest rokudenashi."

"HOPE!"

Song Of Hope: If you're wondering, I put everything that's supposed to be in English in Japanese, since they're supposed to be speaking Japanese. But since I'm writing in English, I use Japanese in replacement of actual English so that way certain characters still won't understand it. R&R
