Hetalian

by ArtemisiaBane

Reagan is a normal girl, living in London. Then she gets a neighbor named Alfred. He's from America, like her, but they're almost complete opposites, except for one thing; they both love to travel. She meets Arthur, his older brother in the park and all of their other Hetalian friends at a party her friend is throwing at her house.

Chapter 2

As Reagan was just finishing putting up the last streamer, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Paige exclaimed and scrambled to open the door. She opened it, and none other than Alfred stood at the door with a huge, goofy grin on his face

"I don't know you," Paige frowned. Alfred grinned wider as Reagan came in.

"But I do," Reagan smiled. "Hi, Alfred. Is Arthur coming?"

Paige looked back and forth between them. "Is this the neighbor you told me about?"

Reagan nodded. Paige smiled at Alfred. "Come in, then."

He had just closed the door behind him when they heard a voice, "Um, may I come in, please?" Reagan laughed. "Fine, but only if you say the magic word, Arthur."

"Who's Arthur?" Paige asked.

"My older brother." Alfred piped up.

"Oh. Well, let him in," Paige said, gesturing to the door. Reagan opened the door, and saw not one but two people standing at the door. Arthur gave her a sheepish smile. "I might have invited a few more of my friends."

Reagan smiled. "That's fine. The more people, the bigger the crowd, and the longer I'll be able to hide from Paige."

Paige tapped her shoulder. "I heard that," she pouted. Reagan gave her a smile and stepped back to let Arthur and his friend in.

The newcomer had sandy, close-cropped hair and watery blue eyes, and was wearing a heavy winter coat, boots, and gloves, even though it was really hot outside.

"I'm Ivan," he said with a heavy Russian accent.

"I'm Reagan, and this is Paige. Nice to meet you," Reagan said, smiling. Ivan smiled grimly, and Reagan was slightly creeped out, but she ignored it.

Behind him, more people stood. They introduced themselves as Feliciano, Ludwig, Honda, Francis, Wang, Heracles, Antonio, and Matthew. How Paige greeted every single one of them smiling, Reagan would never know.
