-ARTHUR-

"Arthur, Arthur, Arthuuuur~"

My eyes slowly fluttered open, and I found Peter tugging at my sleeve at the side of my bed. He was all dressed in his school uniform.

"You don't want to be late, do you?" He laughed his innocent laugh.
"It's you who always lectures me about first impressions. And you can't help your impression if you're late for the first day of school, can you?"

I looked at him, and he just gave me another one of his cheerful smiles.
I sat up in bed and ruffled the small boy's hair.
He couldn't remember our past rivalry from back when we were nations, his memories had been replaced with the thoughts of an innocent boy, and I had to humor him.

Over months where everything had went downhill, I'd gotten used to his presents, and I'd actually come to enjoy it.
It reminded me of my years of being a brother to America.

America.. I hadn't seen him since it had happened.
I wondered if I'd see him anytime soon… and I wondered what he would be like.
After seeing Sealand reduced to a clueless young boy, I wasn't sure what to expect anymore.

After Peter left the room, I dressed in my uniform.
It was my first time actually getting into a school.
I was nervous.
I didn't know what it was going to be like there. And would I be able to adjust to it?

Suddenly, he crossed my mind again.
I closed my eyes, taking it in again.
I remembered his last words to me, and I remembered how I'd been too scared to tell him how I felt even when he was lying there, life slowly fading from his body.

He'd died for me.. and I hadn't even given a single "thank you".

"Francis.." I muttered under my breath.
"I'm so sorry.."

All those memories.. I kind of wished mine had been wiped clean like Peter's.
It would be a lot less painful for me, if it had happened like that.
But no..
But that's why I'd done what I did.

To take back what I'd done. To be able to have a second chance..
I would find him…

"Arthur!" Peter broke into the room again, just as I finished throwing all my things into my backpack.
"Are you going to walk me to the bus stop?" He asked, loudly, in his cheerful voice.

"Blimey.. you scared me.." I sighed.

"All right, lets go."

Peter ran over to my side, and grabbed hold of my hand, dragging me behind him.
A small smile tugged at the end of my lip.

I followed the smaller boy, right out the door, and he started leading me to his bus stop, humming to himself, half skipping.
He was so sweet…
I wondered if he was like this back when they were nations together, and I'd just been to blind to see who he actually was.

Great.. yet, another thing I'd have to feel guilty about.
Okay… I'd done this.. I done it to leave everything behind.
I just had to forget… let myself forget like everyone else had.

But how could I forget when so many forgotten memories floated through my head?

Was I truly the only one remembering it?

The air was still slightly warm, though it was fall now. It wasn't hot. Or cold really, a calming wind blew through the air. It was actually kinda nice..

"Hey look, Arthur! His uniform matches yours~"

Peter's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
I looked up, and standing by the bus stop, was a blonde boy holding the hand of a small blonde girl, wearing a ribbon.

No.. they weren't.. they looked just like…
Vash and Lili?

"Hallo~!" Lili smiled a sweet smiling waving to Peter and I, who stopped walking, and stood by the bus stop.

"Lili.. don't talk to strangers." Vash muttered under his breath towards his younger sister.
"It's okay, big bruder. See? He goes to the same school as me, and he goes to the same school as you."

She pointed out the matching uniform.

Vash, who was clearly just as uptight as he was before, shrugged giving into his little sister's logic.

Peter and Lili started excitedly talking, as if they knew each other, leaving me and Vash standing there awkwardly, only to sneak a look at the other every once in awhile, only to be caught by the other person.

What did this mean? If Vash was at the same school as me… did that mean there would be others?
Did my spell finally prove to do something right?

"Wait, this is first year at the school?" Lili and Peter continued their conversation.
"Yup!" Peter nodded, smiling.

"I-I'll show you around you'd like.." She said timidly.

"That would be great, thanks, Mate!" Peter smiled, and Lili smiled back timidly.
The bus pulled up.

"O-oh.. that's the bus."
Lili pulled at her older brother's uniform sleeve, until he kneeled down to her size.

"Bye, big bruder~" She said, softly, and she kissed him on the cheek.

Vash ruffled her hair, and then looked at her seriously.

"Remember Lili, don't talk to strangers, and be careful around boys, especially that one." He told her, pointing at Peter.

Lili blinked, and nodded, then listened to her brother talk for another 30 seconds.

"Blimey.. he sets a lot of ground rules." Peter said, grabbing onto my arm to get my attention.
I shrugged.

"That's because he just loves her a lot." I told him.

I kneeled down to his height as well, and gave him the same serious glare that Vash was giving Lili.
"Now, don't do anything stupid. I don't want to have to come to your aid and pick up all the bloody pieces."

Peter nodded.

"All right~! I got it!"
"Shake on it?"

He grabbed my hand his smaller hand, and we shook hands on it.

"Come on, Lili, the bus is waiting for us!" He said, and he grabbed Lili's hand, pulling her away from Vash.

As she was pulled by Peter, she turned back a little bit, and waved softly.
"Bye, big bruder." She giggled, and then ran picked up the pace to be able to keep up with Peter.

Both me ,and Vash watched the bus until it drove away.

I didn't know what to say to him. It was weird that I knew his name, and he'd never told me…
well… at least he believed he'd never told me.
Did he remember anything from before, or was his memory completely wiped clean like Peter?

I started walking, and of course he followed behind me because we went to the same school.
I waited for his to introduce himself, but he didn't he just slowly followed behind me with his hands in his pockets completely silent.
So even though I hated to, I had to start the conversation.

"Uh… I'm Arthur.. and you?" I shrugged, not being able to think of a better way to say it.

"Vash.." He answered, nonchalantly.

He said nothing more to me, and I said nothing more to him.
It was as simple as that.
The only thing we most likely had in common was the fact that we had to drop our younger siblings off at the bus stop every morning.

…

The entire school ground was covered in students talking and running about.
Some of them were heading up the school steps, and heading into the tall building, that was the school.

My heart began to pound all over again.
Was this the day I'd finally see Francis again? After all the waiting I'd done?
Was he going to remember me?

I found myself thinking so hard about it, that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, and suddenly, I found myself bumping into someone, and crashing down to the ground.

"Veeeeh!?" A higher pitched voice cried out, and he fell onto the sidewalk as well.

"Did'a you just seriously knock him over? I am's so punching your ear!" An aggressive Italian voice growled.

"Its'a okay, Fratello~! It didn't hurt that'a much." Informed the higher voice again.

"Loviiii~ it's mean to beat up random students." Came a soothing Spanish voice.
"Hmph.."

I looked up slowly, and a small-ish cheerful Italian boy holding his hand out to be.
"Ve~ are you okay?" He asked, smiling.

That hair… that constant annoying use of "Ve" …that accent.
Italy..?

"Oh.. sorry about that." I accepted his hand, and he pulled me out.
"I wasn't paying attention." I informed.

I looked over to see an overly cheerful Spanish boy, and another Italian boy, who was glaring at me.

Italy, Spain, And Romano?
"Fratello, its'a all good~ he didn't mean to knock into me."
"I don't'a trust this guy.." Lovino informed his younger brother.

"Hola~ I'm Antonio." Antonio extended his hand to me, smiling his usual innocently happy smiles.

Never had I been so happy to see my enemies..
weirdly enough.
It made me feel more certain that I was going to see Francis again.

A/N: Okay~ So I know it's gotta be kinda confusing to you guys~ I'm going to point out something that most of you have most likely already figured out.
Everyone's memory is wiped, and replaced with the memories of modern day highschool, or middle school students, or whatever. They all think they have different lives. Though, they've kept their personalities as you can see. Everyone is going to be like that, except Arthur, I've made this point before. More will be revealed about this later. If you guys think you know whats going on, then review and tell me about it, I want to see what you guys think of it.
Also, this story will take place in five different main POVS, involving three different pairings. More later~ thanks for all the follows, favorites, and reviews. I hope to hear from all you motherFrUkers later, in a review. Thanks for reading~!
