Author's Note: Hey peoples! Hola mis personajes! (did I say that right? I'm trying to learn

Spanish but it's a LOT harder than I originally thought….honestly I think Russian's easier,

but that's because I was born with two parents who both speak it….so anywho…) I love to

see how many people have been viewing my story and it really touches me that people

from other countries are also looking ^.^ so I would really love it if you could give me

some feedback so I can improve my writing, which will make it a more enjoyable read for

everyone! Also, just something to let you all know; I'm hopping on a plane to Moscow

tomorrow (as of today, 10/8/13) to spend some time with my grandparents so I have no

idea if I'll have the time to update but I'll do my best and pray that my g-parents have wifi!

There's this magical thing called a laptop that I'm hoping my parents will let me take,

though I'm not so certain…meh. Also, THE HOUSE OF HADES came out TODAY! x*fangirl

squeals*x I have not read it all yet so don't you dare spoil anything for me! I am saving it

for the trip to Moscow, in which I'll have serious jetlag and be all like, "shit, how the hell is it

3 in the morning?! I could have sworn it was only 6 in the afternoon a few hours ago! Aw

hell, I'm not tired….yet…" and I'll be up late and asleep in like the freaking afternoon or

something like that. Damn time zones…


Disclaimer: phew, long intro…I still don't own Hetalia!


Germany decided to end the meeting when America finally returned, red-faced more

embarrassment than anger, and most of the nations decided to leave in the hopes of

avoiding any issues between the reunited siblings. They were the smart ones.

"Oh come on dude, why can't I stay at your place?" Confederacy begged America.

.

"Because I said no. Don't you have a place to stay?" America retorted angrily. He didn't

want to spend anymore time with his sister than he had to because it brought back too

many memories than he wanted to deal with. Obviously he couldn't tell how uncomfortable

he was making Confederacy and her face went beet red in a mixture of anger and awkward

tension. Thankfully Canada understood.

.

After the Civil War ended and the Southern capital was burned to the ground (courtesy of

General Ulysses S. Grant, which was how Confederacy saw it), Confederacy no long had a

home. So basically she wandered about aimlessly for the next century and a half. Not quite

dead but not quite alive due to the fact that she wasn't just the Confederate States, but also

the embodiment of the Southern US. Sadly, Canada didn't get to say what he wanted

because Confederacy beat him to it.

.

"Fine, be that way," She stubbornly snapped and walked out the door without looking back.

.

"America why are you so mean to her?" Canada wondered softly and shook his head.

.

"You know why," America growled and exited the meeting room before anyone could stop

him. Dammit, I am not letting Confederacy ruin my life again! He thought to himself and

jammed his fists into his pockets. I'm the freaking hero and I will not deal with all that again!

.

Confederacy wandered around the streets of New York. I think I should probably try to get

a job. If no one really wants me, then I might as well attempt to live like a normal human.

The thought disgusted her as she eyed a "help wanted" poster in the window of a pizza

place. Then an idea sprung to her head. That old house, the one where we used to live

together until the war divided us. That house in Virginia that I loved so much… As soon as

that idea left her mind (and her feet had continued to move) she found herself in her

favorite state. Good old Virginia.

.

"Hehe, sometimes it's worth it being a country. Well, a half a country in my case," She

snickered to herself. Confederacy knew the layout of Virginia like the back of her hand,

literally. She remembered each street and each hill. Not that much had changed. She sat

down on a bench in a nearby park and did a bit of people watching.

.

Children played on swing-sets. A group of boys were tossing a football around and some

girls were playing Flag Frisbee. Then Confederacy saw her. Virginia was playing baseball

with a couple of teens. Crack! Went the bat as Virginia swung and made connection with

the ball. The ball sailed high and far and the outfield scrambled to catch the runaway ball.

.

"Dude, Whitney, you're like the best!" One of Virginia's teammates congratulated her as she

made a home run. "Where the heck did you learn to play like that?"

.

"Lots of years of practice," Virginia replied with a knowing smile and a mischievous twinkle

in her eyes. Confederacy couldn't help but smile and she took off down the street, hoping to

avoid an awkward confrontation with her old friend. It didn't take her too long to find her

old house.

.

Beautiful strands of ivy covered the walls and a wind chime hung on the front porch. A

person noticed her watching the house and walked up to her.

.

"May I help you?" The guy asked her politely. It was Lithuania, but she didn't know that.

.

"Uh, no. Just- just coming back to visit an old house." Confederacy replied softly as she

gazed out over the fields of golden grains. "Did you know this used to be a plantation?"

.

"Um, no I did not," The guy looked a bit surprised at the knowledge.

.

"Well it did. You see over there?" Confederacy pointed to a barren field with rows of houses

next to it. "That was where they grew cotton. And the slaves would get up every day and

work on harvesting it when it was in season."

.

"There were slaves here!?" Lithuania trembled a bit. "But Ame- Alfred never said anything

about slaves. I mean, I kind of work as a housekeeper here, but you'd think he'd at least tell

me." Confederacy just shrugged.

.

"Yo, Lithuania! I just made some coffee, you want a-, Confederacy? What the hell are you

doing here?" America exclaimed as he strode outdoors and up to his sister.

.

"Revisiting old memories, what's your excuse?" Confederacy replied carefully and closed

her eyes.

.

"I just so happen to live here," America muttered sarcastically. Confederacy's eye twitched.

.

"You live here? Of all places?" She wondered aloud in utter amazement.

.

"Uh, duh. It's my biggest house and it's awesome, like me. So naturally I'm going to live here.

It's also a great place to just relax from all the shit that's going on in the world right now."

America ruffled his hair and glanced around at the property as if remembering happy

memories.

.

However, when Confederacy looked around all she saw were the sad memories. This was

the place where North Carolina officially told America that he was seceding from the Union.

The place where her capital was burnt to the ground and some of the surrounding cities as

well. This ground was stained in the blood of people she had vowed to protect, and failed.

.

"Please America, I don't beg often, but could I please stay here? I just need some place to

sleep. Other than that I'll be out of your hair for the rest of the time, or better yet you could

have me do some work." Confederacy pleaded with her brother and got down on her knees

in front of him.

.

America grimaced, knowing that it was hard to say no while every hero bone in his body

was telling him to help her. For a good minute he struggled against his own mind, and then

he replied to her. "Fine, you can stay but you have to work, got it?" Confederacy jumped up

with a loud squeal and threw her arms around her tense brother.

.

"Thankyou-thankyou-thankyou-thankyou!" She cried and dashed off into the house to find

her old bedroom. America stood there and wondered to himself, what the hell have I just

gotten myself into? And Lithuania, well he was forced to watch a hyper Confederacy dash

around the house like a crazy person and America standing there with a strange expression

on his face that didn't look anything like his usual self, while thinking to himself, Uh~ the

fuck just happened?


Baltic_Lithuania: That was um really awkward.

Russia: I told you Confederacy was weird but you didn't listen to me

Baltic_Lithuania: x*shudders*x I only didn't believe the amount of crazy you were talking

about.

Russia: You believe me next time, da?

Baltic_Lithuania: Um, yes….

America: Russia, stop creeping out Lithuania.

Russia: Um, I do not believe I am "creeping out" Lithuania, right Lithuania?

Baltic_Lithuania: Um, yes you are right?

Russia: See? Lithuania and I are buddies! ^.^

America: Just be thankful that Belarus isn't around or she'd probably go shit crazy if she

heard you say that.

C.S.A: hehe, I invited her….

Russia: NYET! Why do you torture me like that Confederacy?!

C.S.A.: Because it's fun XD

Belarus: brother? That Confederacy girl said you were here. Are you here?

C.S.A.: Oh he's here ;-)

Belarus: hehehehehehehehe~ Marry me brother! Marry me and we will become one!

Russia: Go away! Go away! Go away!

x* Russia leaves *x

Belarus: Brother? Brother? Do not hide from me brother, I will find you!

x* Belarus leaves *x

America: dear lord, South, what the hell did you do?! You just set the devil loose on Russia!

C.S.A.: x* innocent face *x I thought it would be fun! I just remembered all the times Russia

was a dick to me and it was easy~

Baltic_Lithuania: I sense a squabble so run while you have the chance. Also, the author

wanted me to ask if you could: review? Leave a comment? Do you like it? Do you not like it?

She loves feedback!


Brief History Lesson

General Ulysses S. Grant: Union general; Beginning a drive aimed at ending the war, Ulysses

S. Grant and 120,000 troops march south towards Richmond, the Confederate capital. Over

the course of the next six weeks, a brutal war of attrition results in the deaths of nearly

50,000 Union soldiers. Lovely right? The bloodiest war in American history. Killed

hundreds of thousands of people (about 620,000), more people than WWII, WWI, the

American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq-Afghanistan War put

together.

Hetalia fans: so there was this dude that led the army for Mr. America. He basically helped end the Civil War because he was just awesome like that (see above for more details).

American fans: Lots of things went boom in the South! XD
