It wasn't really fair that she had to stay home all the time and her big brother got to go places and to different countries. The only one she ever met was England and her other big brother Canada. Yea, sure, America told her about the other countries and what they where like but that didn't work for her. She wanted to go out and actually meet them and talk to them her self, hell she might even make new friends. But right now she sat at home on the couch with the two cats and Tony. The first cat was a golden yellow color with patch of brown fluffy fur going around its neck. The cat itself was big and fluffy, and oddly yet it wore glasses, the cat was called usa. Right next to said cat was a slightly smaller one, the fur was a different color thought this cat had brown fur. A patch of white ran across one eye almost like a scar and another on the left side of her leg. This cat was equally as fluffy, the cat was named after one of the states in the country, her name was Chicago.
Reaching over she ran her hand throw the cats fur earning a loud and pleased purr from her. A small smile creeped up her face, she turned her head and locked eyes with Tony who was on her left. Shrugging she turned back to the TV, one of her favorite shows was on even though she's to old for cartoons she watched them anyway. Her favorite, which she is watching right now, was Adventure Time. Who she is you ask? Well to other counties, when America talks about her, is D.C his little sister and representative of the capital. But she hated being called that, she always had everyone who met her call her by her human name. Her real name was Aaron Jones, younger sister of both America and Canada, to her Britain was her dad. No matter how many times he told her not to call him dad she did it anyway, he had raised them. A father is not who help made you its who raised you, and thats what he did even thought he didn't do to good of a job being there for them. Even though he wasn't she still loved him and would always and forever call him her daddy.
Her hair reached down to her bottom of her knees, and bangs cover her forehead and somewhat of her right eye. It was a lighter blonde then her brothers and her eyes where deep ocean blue and sparkled when she was excited. Being younger and not as important, as she likes to call it, she was also shorter then they where. Compared to her brothers height she was short, they where both about five ten five nine, she was only about five foot three. Her body was figured and her chest was big for a girl her size, she didn't complain thought. Her personality was a mixed of the two brothers, somedays she can be loud, happy, and hyper then sometimes she was quite. When it came to meeting new people she was not shy at all, its not everyday she really got to do that. She did have to ware glasses like her brothers did but she never did, she always wore contacts instead.
Aaron stood up and stretched bending back pushing her hands into her back until she heard a crack. After that she shuffled out of the living room and into the main entry way of the house. From there it was into the kitchen where she was going to make dinner for the night, and of course it was going to be hamburgers. America and Tony both would be happy with this, and since he was coming back from a meeting it would be nice. They never really cooked much since America would always stop for fast food when he came home. But, today she told him not to so she could cook for them and he happily agreed to it. She pulled out the meat and a frying pan getting started. With the way the people who lived here ate she was gonna need to make a lot, plus fries. What good is a hamburger with out the french fries, non i tell you!
No longer did she finish up the last one did the front door open then close, signaling that he was home. He called out to her and Tony she did not answer but pulled out the fries pouring them onto a plate then setting them with the rest. Tony walked out from the living room to met up with his friend, together they waked into the dinning room. Jaws hit the floor as eyes set upon the tower of burgers sitting in the middle of the dinning room table. After the little shock was over huge smiles came across their faces, the American's eyes sparkled. The two walked closer into the dinning hall and stared up at the mountain, drawl threatened to spill out of the boys mouths. Aaron came back into the room and set down three large cups of cola onto to table with straws sticking out. This was the kind of dinner anyone would love to come home to after such a long and boring meeting.
The meeting went just like it always did, England, France, and himself ended up getting into another argument about something. Germany finally got fed up with everything and started to yell at everyone like the good German that he is. Italy stayed in the corner with one of his cats, he was rather board with the meeting that was going on. China sat on the side lines just commenting about everything that was going on like he knew everything. Russia, like always just sat back and laughed at all the loud commotion going on around him. And Japan, like always, just sat there at the table not saying about about anything that was happening.
Realizing that the meeting was going no where at that point they called it off and said they would try again in a few days. And that day was this Friday, which was in two days. America and Tony sat down waiting for the female to give them the O.K. to start pigging out on food. She lined the bottom half of the mountain with fries and stood back to take one last look at the master piece she created. After taking it in she looked over at the excited two and gave them a short nod letting them know it was okay to eat. It took .2 seconds for them to dig in, within a few minutes everything was gone. All that was left from the three was the crumbs from the bread. Leaning back and patting his stomach America let out a sigh of relief closing his eyes.
"That was amazing Aaron! Like always you did a good job!" he cheered.
"Thank you brother! I'm glad you like it!" she gave him a warm smile before picking up the plates taking them to the kitchen to be cleaned. Running the water over the plates she couldn't help but notice that her brother had said nothing about the meeting, it must of gone wrong. He would always tell her what went on during them when he got home, unless he didn't like the out come of it. From behind her the door opened and in walked America he hand his hand behind his head and sighed.
"Hey, Aaron, I have a meeting again this Friday near Britain's house" he said but was interrupted by her turning around
"What! Again! You just got back from one and now your leaving again in like two days" sometimes he would be gone for two days to a week when meetings where far away. She frowned at him looking down at the ground.
"Just hold up and listen I wasn't done talking" he walked over and placed his hand on top of her head giving it a few rubs, meeting up her hair. "Yes, I will be gone again for like three days, but" he paused knowing she was waiting to her the rest. When he didn't continue for a few minutes she pouted
"But?"
"I want you to come with me this time and attend the meeting" as soon as those last words came out of his mouth a huge smile crossed hers and her eyes widened. They almost seemed to sparkle more then they normally did when she was excited.
"Are you for real dude! Thats so awesome I cant wait!" Aaron started to bounce up and down in her place then threw her arms around her brothers neck hugging him. He laughed and hugged her back picking her up and spinning Aaron around. Gently he set her down putting his arm around her shoulder and the other on his hip looking ahead.
"Until then, do you wanna go play a new scary game I just bought?"
"Hell to the fucking yes! Why didn't you say so sooner!" the two siblings along with Tony ran up the stairs and into the game room placing the game into the system. Once it started to appear on the screen the lets where switched off and the three sat on the couch. Wide smiles spread across their faces and the game finally started to began, the game was called condemned two bloodshot. For the next few hours the three sat in the dark, the only light was the one from the TV, playing the game. By the time the decided it was time to sleep it was already about twelve at night, a yawn escaped Aaron's mouth.
"Well lets call it a night and meet back here tomorrow when we get up" America and Tony agreed and they went their separate ways and to their rooms. Closing the door Aaron quickly stripped down into a tank-top and pulled on her pajama shorts. She crawled into her king sized bed and pulled the blankets around her for extra comfort and warms. It took less then ten minutes for her to fall into a blissful sleep.
The wall that her bed leaned against was the painted all blue with fifty white stars painted into it. The other three walls where painted red and white strips making it look just like the American flag. The bed sat right in the middle of the blue wall, a dresser was placed in front of the bed. The door leading to the hall way was just to the left of the bed and one to a bathroom was on the right side. Two nightstands sat on ether side of the bed and lamps sat on top of them, an alarm clock sat on the left table. The floor was hardwood making it a little easer the clean and harder to stain if something where to spill on it. Two windows sat side by side on the right side of the bed, they over looked the back yard of the house. Heavy, red, black-out curtains covered the window so that way the sun doesn't shine in and blind her in the morning.
Just as the sun started to rise, deep ocean eyes began to flutter open singling it was time to get up. Even thought it was still really early Aaron got up throwing the covers off and walking into her bathroom. She did her normal morning routine by brushing her hair, then her teeth, then walked down stairs, after dressing, for a light breakfast. Once she was done eating she cleaned up her mess and walked into the back yard heading for the pool. As she got closer a bucket of food was sitting about a foot away, she picked it up and waited. With in a few minutes Whale Dude appeared, opening his mouth Aaron tossed his his breakfast. She set the bucket down making her way back into the warm house. It would be another hour or so before America would awake, so in the mean time she was going to catch up on the game. Setting down on the huge tan sofa she grabbed the controller before turning on the game system. With in just a matter of a few minutes the game itself started to lode up onto the TV screen.
Slouching on the couch she brought one leg up while the other dangled onto the ground. Her elbow rested on the right side of the couch where she was leaning on it, her eyes where fixed on the TV in front of her. She almost didn't even noticed that Tony had come in and sat to her left just watching like he always did. The game itself was just really creepy with all the weird monsters and visions this dude was having. It had its moments of scary, like when you where walking and black sludge monsters popped from the ceiling. (A/N not even kidding guys that shit happened to me like five times.) One of the most creepiest part of the game was when she got to the cabin. After getting board of the game she handed off the controller to Tony who started to play. She got from her spot and lazily walked out of the room into the hallway with a loud long sigh.
After standing there for a few minutes listening to the sweet sound of nothingness, Aaron decided to find something to do. It was still a little to early for America to get and there was nothing really to do around the house since the chores where done. She slipped on her shoes then opened up the front door walking out making sure to close it after she left. With it still being nice, quite, and cool outside Aaron made the decision to go for a jog around the block. It's been a while since shes went for a jog, while growing up she use to do it all the time but stopped a year or so ago. When she went to school she was the best cross country runner her school has ever seen or had. Not only did she do cross country she also took the rest of her time to do gymnastics just for the hell of it. So she really was a active girl at one point in time, and it made her feel happy to do it.
But after she had hurt her leg from running she was to scared to run again in fear of damaging it farther. Of course she got it cheeked out by a doctor and got some treatment for it, but that fear still loomed in her mind. After about a year she guessed it was time to get back out there and see how her leg held out. And to her surprise she didn't feel any pain her it, this made her really happy. Now she can start going back to her daily morning runs around the block, thought she still be cautious. Aaron stopped at the front door and leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath again. Thankfully as she opened the door she was met with a burst of cold air, she headed for the kitchen. Opening the fridge and grabbing a water bottle she downed it in less then twenty seconds, new record for her.
Refilling the bottle it got placed back into the fridge for it to get cold while the blonde female went up the stairs to go wash her face off. Now she knew to shower after a run, not before it like she did today. She used a towel to pat off the extra water the lingered and dripped down her thin pale face. Ocean eyes met the same eyes and they stared back at the owner throw a mirror. Old memories flashed throw her mind as she continued to stare, some good some bad but mostly about that one time. Her hand reached over and covered a spot of her right side just a little above her waist, where it happened. Aaron took a deep breath and let it out slowly pushing the memory to the back of her mind to lock away. When she opened her eyes she jumped and yelped, turning around she placed her hand on her heart. America had showed up while her eyes where closed, when she jumped a small smile spread across his face.
"Brother dont do that!"
"Haha sorry, Aaron, couldn't help myself" she frowned and crossed her arms glaring at her older brother.
"I thought you where supposed to be a hero" she whispered
"I am the hero!" he interrupted giving her a thumbs up and a huge smile showing off his perfectly white, straight teeth. Aaron rolled her eyes putting the towel back onto the counter where it had been sitting before.
"Yea, well your a sucky one for scaring the innocent like that"
"You'd have to be innocent to begin with" he throw back with a cocky sounding voice and a smirk to match. The two gave out a laugh while walking out the bathroom and into the hall way,
"I see how it is, am I not innocent enough for you?" both hands where placed over her hips as she leaned all her weight onto on foot with attitude. A high smirk plastered the older siblings face, he just simply pushed his glasses up his nose and walked away. Aaron followed him down the stairs and into the long hallway leading to the kitchen of the house. America opened the door and made his way to the fridge, Aaron jumped onto the island counter. She just watched her brother pull things out and push things to the side to get to whatever it was blocking. He quickly made something up as he brought it to the island sitting it down looking eye to eye with his sister.
"Don't forget to pack for tonight we are leaving first thing in the morning" as soon as he said that she jumped off the counter and bolted for the stairs to her room. America laughed before finishing up his breakfast and headed for his room as well. He didn't tell anyone that Aaron was going to be coming, England has been asking about he lately so he decided to bring her. That and he always knew she wanted to go to one of the meetings to meet the other nations he knew. There wasn't much to worry about though, all he had to do was watch that France didn't do anything to his little sister. And if he even tried not only would hr beat the living hell out of his but England would as well.
Aaron around into her room flinging the door open and running to he closet pulling out a bag that was american flag colored. She set it on the bed before walking to her dresser and pulled out four things, pants, shirt, short, and another pair of pants. Even though it was just three days you always should bring an extra outfit just in case of in emergency. She grabbed four shirts tossing them into the back along with some underclothes that she would need. After all that she loaded the pocks of the bag with hair-ties, extra tooth brush, extra brush, toothpaste, and her little stuff dog. Before packing it she held the little toy in her hands and stared at it, such a little thing meant so much to her. That little stuff brown dog was made and given to her by England when she was just a child. America was given toy soldiers with different faces painted onto them.
A small smile creeped up her face as the memory of getting it came into her mind, at the time she really didn't care for it. But as she got older and older the realization of how important that toy was hit her, it was one of a kind and made with love just for her. Ever since then she carried it every where with her no matter where she went and no matter how old she is she will still carrie it. She placed it back into the little pouch zipping it shut so it wouldn't fall out, then placed the bag by the door. The door opened just as she set it down, she looked up at America then back down at the bag.
"I'm all packed for tomorrow" she said then smiled
"Cool, dude, how about we go play some video games!" she laughed running over and jumping onto his back.
"Only if you carrie me there"
"Aye aye captain!" he yelled placing his arms under her legs to support them as her arms wrapped around his neck. He took off running down the hall passing up unopened doors till he got to the mahogany colored door. His hand reached out turning the knob till the door started to slowly open, the room was completely dark. The two looked over at each other and then back into the room, Tony had just been in there no less then about five minutes ago America new that for sure. He cheeked on him before going to see if Aaron had finished her packing and wanted to play with them. The slowly made there way into the room, Aaron flipped the switch but the lights didn't come on. She jogged to the middle of the room where America was and grabbed his arm as the door closed behind them. Aaron tightened her grip on his arm and looked around into the darkness that surrounded them.
"Al what the hell is going on?"
"I'm not sure" he answered, and just like that a flash light clicked on and Tony swung from the ceiling popping right up into their faces. Their screams could be heard from a mile away, Aaron tried to punch him but he knew all to well she would. When she got scared it was ether curl up into a ball or start throwing punches left and right till she hit something. After a few minutes screams turned into burst of laughter, Tony put the light back in while the two sat on the couch laughing.
"Tony you little bastard! You nearly scared the life out of me!" Aaron yelled throwing her hand over her heart, a smile could be seen crossing the aliens face. America just laughed and high fived his friend, she had to admit it was a good prank on his part.
"Alright lets get to playing, sis what do you wanna play?" Aaron walked over to the racks of games and went throw them. The games where organized by alphabetical and by what system they went two, easy and good way to keep games. The top shelf was where x-box games, second was for any and all play-stations, third was for game cube. The forth one was where the wii games where held, the fifth one was for older game systems. Each of these systems where held under the TV stand, some got more used then others. She grabbed one of the games and smiled turning around slowly.
"How about I kick your's and Tony's ass in smash brothers?" a smile suddenly appeared on the older males face as he got up to go hook the game cube to the flat screen.
"Well see about that, last time I only let you win"
"Un huh, sure you did, what ever you wanna say brother" she flopped down onto the couch, America grabbed three controllers and made his way back to the couch. The TV flashed on and the system started up, the three got into ready position. The match was always chosen at random since they could never agree on just one to play on. They also each had a character they always where. Tony was always Link from zelda, America was falco, and Aaron was always Zelda, the three have gotten use to their moves and controls. Evil masked over their faces as the match started, there was always a catch to who ever lost the most. The catch was that the loser had to do one thing from both the two winners, and they could not say no or complain. Last time America had lost and had to clean the whole house and also had to do something embarrassing for Aaron. She enjoyed ever minute of his embarrassment.
The game was the best out of ten games who ever lost the most would suffer a punishment from the other two. So far the game is tied each one had won one game, so now was the death round, who ever lost this round was the loser. Determination masked over Aaron's face, she was not about to lose this game and do what ever they said. She had never lost before and wasn't about to start today, who knows what they would make her do. The last match was harder then normal it seemed like nether of them wanted to just take one for the team and die. Thankfully just as the match was about to end by the time Tony was blasted off by America living him and his little sister the winners. The two humans jumped up and danced around screaming about being winners and him being the loser. Aaron even started to sing the song we are the champion(A/n I think thats the name). Tony dropped the controller and sighed deeply.
The punishment did not have to happen that day or that week, it could be when ever the requester wanted it to be. Normally Aaron took about a week to come up with one the plained a time for it all to be laid out. Both boys knew that what ever she was cooking up in her mind was not going to be anything easy. Aaron let out a laugh almost just like her brothers, they sat back down patting Tony on his shoulder.
"Well what do we do now?" she asked leaning back bringing her knee up to her chest letting the other one dangle off the couch. The slightly older male sat back fixing his glasses then shrugged his shoulders, normally they would play more games but he wanted something different. Right around this time the fall fair would be coming but it wasn't for another week or two. The siblings went ever year to the fairs and to the carnivals riding ever big, scary ride they could find. Fears where put to the test at that time, Aaron wasn't that big on heights but did it anyway to show she wasn't going to be beat by a stupid fear.
"Well it still really early in the day, we spend about maybe an hour on the game, is there anything out we can go see?" she asked tilting her head
"I think that new scary movie is now, you know the second one"
"Insidious chapter 2?"
"Yes! Dude lets go see it!"
"It has ghost in it do you think you can handle it?" She mocked smirking he glared at her for a moment.
"I'm a hero! No stupid movie is gonna scary me! Lets go!" Aaron and Tony shared a looked then shrugged standing up to follow. She grabbed her jacket slipping on her boots before walking out the door, locking it once everyone was out. Just as they got to the movies and cheeked the times it just so happened the next showing was in about ten minutes. Not that many people where in the theater since the movie has been out for a few days now. Taking their seats at the very top America went back out to the snack stand for popcorn, drinks, and candy. The previews just began as the blonde hero walked back in throw the doors with arms full of junk. The first movie was alright didn't really have that many jump scares or scares at all. This one didn't ether but it was still way better then the first and made so much more since of the first one.
After every movie it was out to get some ice-cream at the local shop just down the street from the show. Aaron got her's first so she took it and sat down at the bench they always sat at, there was a lot of things they always did. It took like five more minutes before the other two got theres.
"You think you can handle the meeting, sis?" America asked ofter licking a part of his vanilla ice-cream, Aaron looked up from her chocolate and nodded.
"My big brothers a hero, so, if i really need help he can save me like a good hero right?" she asked smiling, a huge wide smile spread across his face and he nodded.
"Of course I can!" he started to laugh his signature laugh, Aaron laughed along with him, she was getting more excited about this the more it was brought up. She would be seeing England before the others since he offered for them to stay with him at his house. He only really offered because he wanted to see Aaron before anyone else could. The day was still young, it was only three in the afternoon, there was still about five hours till she went to bed. She looked up at the sky as her brother talked to Tony about a new game that was coming out soon. The sky was starting to turn gray with thick dark clouds, this meant one and one thing only, a storm.
Her attention was turned back to the almost empty bowl in front of her, the thought of a storm made her lose her taste for food. She really didn't mind storms it was just that they always brought back horrible memorize from her past. During ever storm America would try and distract her, normally it would work and she would get distracted. She just hoped that he could do it again during this storm, or maybe she would just lock herself into her room. Aaron looked down at her hands, she knew her brother was tired of always having to do things like that durning storms. She didn't want to bother him anymore with it, so from now on she was just going to deal with this on her own. Her attention was drawn back by the sound of her brothers voice calling her name.
"Aaron?"
"Huh?" she asked looking up confused.
"Everything alright there sis?" she put on a fake smile and nodded at him, he raised an eyebrow at her but didn't push it anymore.
"Why dont we go home?" she said standing up throwing her bowl into the garbage the two followed after her then headed back to the house. The rain didn't start to fall until the three where inside the house, no less then ten minutes later came the rest of the storm. By this time Aaron sat in her room with the door locked and a pillow held tight in her arms. With every crackle of thunder and every flash of lightning she would take a deep breathing and release slowly. Her eyes snapped open when a knock came from the door.
"Aaron why did you lock the door? Is everything alright?"
"Everything's fine brother dont worry about a things, I'm alright"
"Why dont you come out and play with me and Tony? We're gonna play C.O.D" she knew he was just trying to get her out and distract her but she wasn't going to let him. At first she didn't say anything, just keep her mouth closed and her face in the pillow she held. A sigh could be heard from the other side of the door, there was some noise like he was trying to get the door open. Well, he did, the door came up in less then a minute she pushed her head up and glared over at him.
"I didn't say come in..." she called in almost a whisper/hiss
"Why wont you come out?"
"Because I want to handle this on my own"
"Aaron-"
"No, I know you get tired of always having to help me brother, I know you do, thats why I have to learn to do things myself. I can't always depend on you to be there during every storm to help me, it gets old" her face was now shoved back into the pillow she held onto so tightly, America looked down at her with sad eyes. He reached over and pulled her to him hugging her tightly.
"Aaron, really, your my baby sister, of course I dont get tired of this. If anything all of this time we spent together has made us closer then ever." she smiled wrapping her arms around him laying her head on his chest. What he had said was true, they have gotten so close because of this whole situation. He kissed the top of her head "so come on" he stood up pulling her to her feet and out the door "lets go kick some zombie ass" her smile only got wider as she nodded. Throw this whole time their bond as brother and sister grew closer and closer, he was not only her brother but her best friend. She was close to Canada as well but not as close as America since they lived together and Canada had his own place.
Tony was already waiting for them with the game loaded and the controllers sitting out, he sat in the middle. The two walked over siting down and grabbed the controllers, the three nodded and Tony pressed the button to start the game.
