Next chapter, please enjoy!
At the corner park, two days later.
Wisteria was at the picnic table alone, she'd long since abandon her sketchbook and was pacing and chewing her lip.
What was taking Elizabeta and Gilbert so long? Normally if they couldn't come visit they'd tell her the afternoon before. She couldn't help but worry about them. She knew both of them were a good few years older than her, but she couldn't help but feel like they were becoming close friends to her. So, that was why she waited, and waited, until she heard the footsteps.
She turned to see Elizabeta in thigh high black socks, black Mary Janes, a lacy red and black dress, with a red flower in her hair, and Gilbert chasing after her in his high collared jacket.
Letting out an incoherent stream that Wisteria couldn't decipher, Elizabeta bowled right into the younger girl and lifted her off of her feet in a hug.
"Waita go, girl, your awesome!" Gilbert cheered once Elizabeta had dropped her.
"W-Wha...?" She managed, wobbling dizzily before Gilbert scooped her up and put her on his shoulders.
"Whoa! Why!?" She yelped as Gilbert paraded around the park, effortlessly carrying her on his shoulders, holding her ankles so she wouldn't fall.
Elizabeta was laughing and eventually Gilbert started right up the street, with Wisteria on his shoulders still.
"What's going on!? Gil, put me down!" Wisteria cried out, grabbing onto the sides of the prussians shoulders as he continued on, not even pausing to acknowledge her request.
"No way, girlie! We gotta head straight over to your orphanage, right now!"
"Yes, sooner the better!" Eliza exclaimed.
"Why? What happened? Why won't you tell me?"
"Oh, I still can't believe it. Out of all the entries..."
"Totally awesome, I told you the Headmaster would love it, I mean just look at where he put it..."
"Replaced one of Feliciano's paintings with it, in the main art gallery, I can't believe this is actually happening..."
"I wonder if she can join with us, I mean, the Allies have six so why not..."
"Oh I'm sure Lilli would love another girl on our team so..."
"GUYS!" Wisteria yelled, still looking around wondering how to get off of Gilbert's shoulders.
"Oh! Wisteria! Wisteria you did it! You did! I'm so proud!" Elizabeta sang as she danced circles around Gilbert, who was still walking along without any fatigue of carrying a thirteen year old girl on his shoulders all this way.
"What did I do?" Wisteria demanded.
"You got in! You won the scholarship! Your a Hetalia Academy student as of tomorrow!" Elizabeta exclaimed.
Wisteria was so shocked she stopped squirming on Gilbert's shoulders.
"Really...?" She asked, tears coming to the corners of her eyes.
"Yeah! Didn't the totally awesome me say we'd vouch for you!? Me and Eliza went up to the Headmaster and told him all about how cool you were. And he took our opinions into account! You better do good, girl, or my totally awesome reputation will be un-awesome toast!"
Gilbert cried.
They arrived at the orphanage and Wisteria hunched over to avoid hitting her head on the doorway.
"Gil, can you please put me down!?"
"Not until I get tired!"
"Why!?"
"Because I'm in a celebratory mood!"
The woman at the front desk, Mrs. Freedman, was observing all of this with a beaming smile. She'd received the email from Romulus Empire himself the night before, and had been told to leave it as a surprise was Wisteria. She had pale skin with her long blonde hair pulled up into a tight bun, and donned her usual long green dress.
"I've already told Hutt to start up packing your things. He's upstairs in you two's room." She reported before turning back to her work.
"Tell me which way to turn!" Gilbert ordered as he marched towards the stairs.
"Ugh...left!" Wisteria groaned, still, she was in such high spirits that wasn't even all to mad about being perched on Gilbert's shoulders with his canary thing for company.
Still hunching to avoid brushing her head on the ceiling, Gilbert walked up the stairs with ease, still surprising for having the weight of another person on his shoulders, and down the hall.
"Third door." Wisteria said.
"Ja, got it."
Gilbert opened the door and Elizabeta waltzed right in.
"Who are you!?"
Hutt's voice echoed from inside.
"Hi, Hutt!"
Wisteria called.
Hutt's head peaked around the edge of the door and he stared.
"Why are you sitting on a white haired guys shoulders!? Why is there a bird on your head!?" He demanded, incredibly surprised.
"Because I got into Hetalia academy! I did! I really did!"
Hutt looked the two of them up and down, and ignored Elizabeta already hefting the one large suitcase that Hutt had packed everything that Wisteria owned in the room into, he'd left out all of her art supplies, figuring she'd want to pack them herself.
"How does that explain you sitting on his shoulders with a leftover Peep on your head!?"
Hutt asked, looking incredulous.
"Oy! Gilbird is awesome, and not made of marshmallow!" Gilbert retaliated.
"Ok, seriously, Gil, put me down, I'm about to bang my head on the ceiling."
Wisteria said.
"Fine, but you'd been be ready for me to march you right into the halls. Everyones gonna freak with a thirteen year old girl in the school. I wouldn't be surprised if they started clapping and throwing flowers!"
Gilbert said as he knelt and ducked her head, allowing Wisteria to hop nimbly from his shoulders and to the ground.
Where she promptly raced forward and hugged Hutt.
"Thank you so much for the advice! I never would have thought of my portrait if you didn't say those things!"
Hutt was in complete shock, Wisteria never touched him willingly, much less full out hugged him.
"Who are you and what have you done with my roommate!?"
"You know...I'm gonna miss you too." Wisteria murmured shyly, letting go of Hutt.
"Are you an alien or something!?" Hutt yelled out.
Wisteria shook her head at him, pouting.
"Take my small amount of care for you lightly, I dare you!"
Hutt smirked, than clapped Wisteria on the shoulder.
"I'll miss you too, Wisty. You better come back and visit."
"I will." Wisteria promised.
One last hug, than Wisteria lifted her heavy suitcase and dragged it out the door and down the stairs, Gilbert and Elizabeta promising that they could come back and get all of her art supplies some other day.
Outside the Orphanage.
"So, how are we getting there?" Wisteria asked, now that all of the excitement had worn off, she was eager to get to the school and get her bearing, sooner she did, sooner she could begin her studies.
"I called a friend to come pick us up." Gilbert replied.
"Is he in one of the Academy cars?" Elizabeta asked, glancing over to Gilbert, who nodded.
Elizabeta paled.
"Please tell you didn't call Mathias."
"Ok, I didn't call Mathias."
"Thank god."
"I called Feliciano."
"ARE YOU INSANE!?"
Elizabeta screeched.
But it was to late, the Axis's sleek sports car was swerving down the road towards them at a ridiculous pace.
It stopped on a dime right in front of them, the back wheels actually lifted off of the ground a bit, and Wisteria gawked.
"This car is so nice!"
She exclaimed.
Feliciano hopped out of the drivers seat and a car sick looking Japanese stumbled from the passengers side.
"Kiku? Why did you come along?"
"Ludwig-urp..." Kiku covered his mouth with his hands for a moment before continuing.
"Ludwig wished for me to go along, and try to get Feli to drive reasonably."
"You failed." Gilbert said harshly as Feliciano raced up to Wisteria.
"Ciao! I'm Feliciano, one of the representative students from Italy! Me and my brother are from Rome! Viva Italia! Anyway, I'm so excited to meet you, you must be one of the youngest students yet! I asked my brother to come, but he had classes, plus he's pretty angry at his boyfriend! So I got to bring Kiku instead! Kiku's really nice but he doesn't talk a lot no matter what I say! Well, let me take that suitcase, bella!"" Feliciano rattled off all of this while exuberantly shaking both of Wisteria's hands.
Kiku bowed.
"I am Kiku, pleasure to meet you."
"Hey, Feli, ain't you mad at her for...you-know-what?"
Feliciano shook his head, appalled at the idea of himself being jealous.
"Of course a-not! My art's all over the school, after all! I'm glad she's so good, maybe we can work together sometime! Well, let's a-get going!"
Feliciano took Wisteria's suitcase and hauled it to the back of the car, tossing it into the trunk.
"Hop a-in!" Feliciano made to leap back into the drivers seat and was lifted off of his feet by Elizabeta.
"Help! Kiku! Help!" Feliciano yelped, limbs flailing.
Elizabeta dropped him onto his rear.
"I'll be driving." She said firmly.
"Hai, I believe that would be best."
Wisteria climbed into the backseat, along with Kiku and Feliciano.
Gilbert was already raving about lunch, Elizabeta was slowly accelerating out into the street, and Wisteria looked up at the building.
She saw Hutt leaning out their, well, their former rooms window, waving with a bright grin on his face.
It was at this moment that Wisteria realized just how much of a friend that annoying, stuck up boy had actually become.
Rolling down the window as they pulled away, Wisteria leaned out and waved back to Hutt, she continued waving until they pulled around the corner, and the orphanage she'd spent her life living in was gone.
Unexpectedly, Wisteria felt hot tears pricking at her eyes.
Though Kiku was full absorbed in a book, Gilbert in stroking Gilbird, and Elizabeta in driving, Feliciano noticed.
"Bella, whats a-wrong?" He whispered to her.
"I'm just, I've never left that place before...Hutt and I have been roommates since we were little. I mean, before we used to share with a few other older kids, but, still..."
Feliciano smiled, "He's not a-going anywhere, you know, you can still go back and visit him. Your not a-going to be too far away."
Wisteria nodded, "I guess, now that I've actually gotten into the school, I' a little scared of whats next."
Feliciano wrapped an arm around Wisteria's shoulders.
"Don't a-you worry. The transition is difficult, that's true, but you'll still do well. I know it. Besides..."
Feliciano put up his free hand in a peace sign.
"You can always come down to me and a-Kiku's dorm if your lonely!"
Wisteria laughed brokenly at Feliciano's silly smile.
Feliciano's grin didn't fade, but it did soften.
"Everyone's going to love you, bella, I just a-know it. You'll feel like a-one of the family before you even a-realize it. Trust me. My Fratello and I had no one but each other, and now we've got a whole school full of people. Every last one of whom we a-know we can depend on. So don't a worry, you'll feel at home in no a-time."
Wisteria smiled and wiped her eyes.
"Thanks."
