Chapter Eight:

Canada and Ava finally reached the airport after two hours of driving. America and his alien roommate waited for them in the airport, a smile decorating the American's face. " Dude, you guys took too long." America joked, earning a sigh from the Canadian nation. " Alright you guys. Onto the jet! It'll take a while to go from Nevada to New York. Good thing China gave you all those snacks, dudette. You're going to be needing them."

Ava tilted her head in confusion but shrugged it off as a strange human thing. America and Canada showed some paperwork to a TBA officer and leads the group to a large jet painted in rhetoric colors of the American flag. " Isn't she beautiful, yo!" The blonde American exclaimed. The Zanderian scanned the jet with her scangem, looking a bit confused.

" Um...America?" Ava called out to the nation. Both America and Canada looked over at the alien girl. " You called your aircraft a female but my scangem clearly states that your aircraft has no sexual organs..."

America laughed and slapped Ava on the back, nearly knocking the girl over. " You have a lot to learn, dudette." He replied with a smile on his face. " Don't take it too serious okay? Anyway, hop on guys. We should be back in New York City by dinner time!" The energetic nation climbed into his jet while the other people were bringing their things into the cargo hold.

Canada smiled at Ava and takes her small hand in his larger one. " C-Come on..." He said shyly. " W-We can call my b-brother so I can introduce you t-two beforehand. That is i-if you want to o-of course..." Ava looked over at the Canadian nation with a soft smile on her pale face.

" That sounds very nice, Canada." The Zanderian said sweetly. " At least he won't think that I'm an invader or something." Canada's face paled at the thought.

" I-If you were an invader, m-my brother would probably try to hurt you..." Canada with a serious look on his face. " I-If he is high though, he'd probably be babbling about hosers..." Canada blinked and blushed, trying to change the subject. " W-Well I should call 2p Canada now."

Canada went into his pocket and took out his phone, pressing his brother's number on his speed dial list. The blonde haired Canadian had his ear to the cellular device as Ava watched in wonder. " Brother, it's me. Eh?... Canada..." The young man said into the small device. "...Eh! What? S-Sure put him on..." Canada kept quiet for a moment, causing Ava to look quite puzzled. " H-Hello 2p America..." Canada said shyly. " M-my brother isn't causing problems, is he?" America watched Canada in worry as Canada's face drained of color. " I-I'm so sorry, 2p America... C-Can you take care of 2p Canada until we get back?...Y-Yeah, I'll pay you back..."

The blonde blinked and looked at the cell phone, letting out a sigh of relief. " H-He hung up..." He said in a soft voice. " I-I apologize Ava... I didn't know my brother was giving America's cousins a hard time-" The alien girl leaned over and hugged the shy nation, causing him to blush lightly.

" Duuuuude! We HAVE to throw Ava a party once we get back to my place!" America shouted. This caused both Canada and Ava to jump from the outburst. " What do you say, dudette? Wanna party Earth style yo!"

Ava blinked and looked at the loud American. She thought about it for a moment. " No thank you, America." Ava said which caused America's face to fall. " Maybe another day. What I really want is a bath and a nap." America instantly perked up and gave a toothy grin at the Zanderian.

" Sure thing, dudette! Why don't you take a nap while we are heading back to New York? " America added. Ava nodded her head and smiled. Ava puts her head on the back of the seat and closed her eyes.


Both male nations looked over at Ava's sleeping form. " So..." America started, causing Canada to jump. " I'm gonna text Nyo America to get Ava some clothes and prepare one of the guest rooms for her."

" T-That sounds like a good idea America..." Canada responded. He hugged Kumajiro tightly in his arms. " I hope 2p Canada sobers up when we get back, eh?" Both nations nodded their head in agreement. " A-America..." The dirty blonde nation looked over at Canada and tilted his head. " D-Do you think we can h-have the party for her at the next world meeting? T-That way the other nations can join-"

America leaped out of his seat, his blue eyes sparkling. " DUDE! That is a great idea!" He shouted, nearly waking up Ava. Canada gave a soft glare to America. America sat back down and apologized softly. " But seriously, bro. That does sound fair. I mean Sealand and Italy were both pretty upset that she couldn't stay with them."

Canada nodded his head in agreement. " H-Hey America." He said softly, earning a hum acknowledgement from the nation personification. " I-Is it really okay that we don't tell our bosses? W-What if they find out about Ava?"

America shrugged showing that he was not taking the thought seriously. " My boss didn't believe me when I told him about Tony. I doubt that he'll believe me if I told him about Ava." He said and casually leaned back into his seat. " But hey, she might actually like living here on Earth."

Canada blinked and looked at the Zanderian sleeping right next to him. " I-I sure hope so..." The Canadian said quietly. " I just hope 2p America acts appropriately when he does meet Ava." Both nations shutter at the mention of America's delinquent cousin.

" So dude." America said. " Pass me one of Ava's snacks from China, yo! I'm starving bro!"
