WARNING!: Filler Chapter (so that you understand why RP is still alive)

I made the song up, if you don't know Spanish I'll put a translation at the end of the chapter

Translations are like this: /T/ (you should know this already)


7. Flash Back

Have you ever heard one song and deep inside felt like you've heard it before?

The first time he saw her she was singing a phrase of a song that he heard before many times, and she repeated over and over again

At that time she was a tiny little girl with short black hair and big hazel eyes, she also had a pretty charming voice as birds would listen to her singing

"Estoy seguro que lejos llegaras" she sang /I'm sure that you're gonna go far/

Time passed and he didn't pay much attention to that until the day came when he wanted to break free from Spain. He was about to lose, Spain pointed his gun to him and suddenly out of nowhere that very same girl appeared, she stood up in front of him facing directly the gun… he didn't knew it then but she had a fierce face that was covered in wounds, she looked at Spain with a hateful expression and put her arms forming a human cross; but she heard her when she spoke with her particular accent

"¡Ya basta!" she said /Stop it!/

Spain did something that took him by surprise; he put his gun down a little while looking at her confused

"No lo soporto mas, están acabando con este lugar" she said /I can't handle it anymore, can't you see that you're destroying this place?/

"Tu…" said Spain /you/

"¡No me importa lo que digas! No puedo dejar que lo mates" she said /I don't care what you say! I can't let you kill him/

"¿Por qué… me estas protegiendo?" he asked /Why are you... protecting me?/

She then turned to him and smiled, it was in that moment that he saw her face covered in dirt and blood

"Porque no necesito una razón para hacerlo, ya que en realidad… me estoy defendiendo a mi misma" she said /Because I don't need a reason, after all... I'm prottecting myself actually/

And then she turned back to Spain, she hold her left arm behind her back using her right hand

"¿Acaso no se da cuenta de que ya no lo necesita?" she asked /Can't you see that he doesn't need you anymore?/

Spain let his gun fell on the ground and kneeled near the little girl, she tilted her head to the side while looking straight to his eyes

"Pero que niña mas valiente, ¿puedo saber tu nombre?" asked Spain /What a brave little girl, can I know your name?/

"Usted me tendrá que llamar Argentina" she said /You'll have to call me Argentina/

Spain looked at him for a moment and then back to the girl, he however had the feeling of heard the name before

"¿Argentina?" he asked

She didn't turn this time but yet he could notice that she was talking to him

"Vos me podes decir Alma" she said /For you, I'm Alma/

"Pequeña Argentina, con esta actitud veo que llegaras lejos" said Spain /Little Argentina, with that attitude I can see you'll go far/

And then he realized about the name, it was that song again. That day that girl won independence for him, I don't wanna invent anything so let's leave the story that books tell, and he decided that she would be the representation of the newborn country which of course will be called Argentina

"Pequeña dulce argentina, ¿como te las ingenias en la vida? Pero no te preocupes…" he sang /Sweet little Argentine, how do you make your way through life? but don't worry/

"Estoy seguro que lejos llegaras" she finished /I'm sure that you're gonna go far/


Here's the traslated version of the song:

Sweet little Argentine

How do you make your way through life?

But don't worry 'cause I'm sure

That you're gonna go far
