AN: Now a look at the past...
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia. Just my OC's.
Alfred sat on his bed looking at the floor. When he had got back from the restaurant he was greeted by New York who refused to let him in without a password. So, like many of his states, he had to use the back door and now his mind was flooded with old memories.
"Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Alfred ran through the near by woods as quick as he could until he reached a, rather large, clubhouse. He began to pound on the door until a pair of blue eyes appeared.
"Password?"
"New York it's me, open up."
"I'm sorry, I've never seen you before in my life."
"New York hurry up the meeting is going to start soon."
"You can't get in without the password, for all I know you could be a British spy." He could tell New York was enjoying this.
"But I'm not so open up."
"Really, well, that quite an accent you got there, British if I'm not mistaken and I'm not."
"So what, you have a British accent too."
"Yes, but I know the password so I'm not a spy."
"NEW YORK!"
"Look, you're the only one who can't remember the password and the rule is if you don't know the password you can't come in."
"But I can't remember the password and it's against the rules to write it down and…"
"Not my problem." His eyes vanished.
Alfred leaned against the building and slid to the ground. Having given up on getting in, he began to pictures in the dirt. He had just finished making a bunny when a pair of boots came into view and messed it up.
"Hey!" He looked up to see a blonde kid, no older than him, with bright green eyes smirking.
"Forget the password again" Alfred looked down and didn't say anything. "It's not that hard to remember."
"Well I always forget it why can't we change it to my name or buffalo or…" His head shot up. "…Bunny!"
"And you wonder why the others mess with you." He suddenly smiled. "Since your just sitting out here how about you skip with me."
"But they're going to discuss important stuff we can't miss that."
"Well your already missing it because you don't know the password." Alfred smiled
"Well know that you're here we can go in together."
"Did you not hear what I said? I'm skipping." Alfred's face fell. "How about I make you a deal. If you skip with me I'll tell you the password." Alfred thought about it then frowned.
"If we skip then I wouldn't need the password."
"You need it for next week don't you." He was right but before Alfred could say anything Delaware had already started with out him.
"Wait up."
Alfred and Delaware walked around town a bit before heading down to the peer. The two found a nice shady tree and began to talk. As a newly arrived boat was being unloaded Delaware started acting strange.
"Looks like a new boat from Britain is here. You think Arthur is on it."
"No." Alfred said disappointingly "Arthur's not going to visit for another five months."
"You miss Arthur don't you?"
"Yeah he's the best."
…
"Alfred when was the last time you went to one of the meetings?"
"Uhhh…" He thought for a minute.
"You haven't been to a meeting sense they made the password have you?"
"Not true, I get in when I meet others outside."
"When was your last meeting?"
"The last time I got in was when New York was sick." He said quietly.
"So over a month ago." Alfred said nothing so Delaware changed the subject.
"What do you think is on that boat?"
"Supplies, tea, people things like that."
"You don't say. How far you think that boat is?"
"I don't know not far. Why?"
"No reason. Hey you want to play a game?" Alfred smiled
"Of course. I love games."
"Let's play hide and seek. I'll hide first and you count to…" He turned around and eyed the boat. "…One hundred twenty six."
"That a weird number why not just One hundred twenty five or thirty."
"One hundred twenty six." He repeated himself.
"Okay."
Alfred began counting once he reached ten he heard Delaware take off. He felt like he had been counting forever but he had soon reached one hundred twenty three he was almost done.
"One hundred twenty four, one hundred twenty five, one hundred twenty six ready or here I come." He turned around and scanned the area. The first thing he noticed was a leg sticking out of a bush less than ten feet away. He ran over to the bush were he found Delaware lying next to two full cups of tea.
"You're not a very good hider." Alfred said sitting down next to the colony.
"Guess I'm not" He sat up. "Want some tea?"
"Where did you get tea?" Alfred asked taking the teacup.
"I went into town while you were counting." The two finished their tea, as the sky grew darker.
"Looks like it's going to rain, you better stay at the Adams's house tonight and head home in the morning." Alfred got up.
"Alright."
Alfred laid down; things were so much different back then. He looked at his clock, still an hour before the meeting enough time to take a nap. So he set his alarm and drifted to sleep.
Delaware sat at his computer staring at the unfinished schedule he made for the week. Thanks to New York's stupid antics, he couldn't help put to remember old forgotten memories from when he was a colony.
"Looks like it's going to rain, you better stay at the Adams's house tonight and head home in the morning." Alfred got up to leave.
"Alright." Delaware watched as Alfred began to run back to town. Once he was gone Delaware got up and pick up a huge crate he had hidden behind a near by bush. It weighed a ton luckily he didn't have to carry it far. He soon approached a large building, when he got to the door he kicked it three times before a set of eyes appeared.
"Password?"
"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I'll just take this tea some where else." He turned to leave when the door flew open with Virginia standing in the doorway.
"Sorry Delaware." He greeted the other colony.
"WHY ARE YOU APALOGISING TO HIM, I'M THE ONE YOU KNOCKED OVER." New York yelled picking himself up off the ground.
"You should have let him in." Virginia said as he passed him. The room was huge with twelve other people scattered all over. He set the crate in the middle of the room as the other gathered around. After they opened it and made tea, they sat on the floor and talked.
"Alright let's get this meeting stared." New York's hand shot up in the air as soon as Virginia finished his sentence. "Yes New York."
"I would like to proposed we get rid of one of the Carolinas there is no point in having two if they just agree with each other." He stared daggers at the Carolinas who only returned them.
"You should think before you speak New York. If there is one Carolina then they might be bigger then you, and have more say and influence." Pennsylvania warned.
"I think it's fine if I get some of the land."
"Why would you get their land Rhode Island your not even near them." New Hampshire asked.
"We're not going to get into this matter, colonies are made up by the Arthur he's the only one who can dissolve a colony or create one. New York you shouldn't have brought that up. Now back to important matters." Virginia turned to Delaware. "So what do you think about Alfred?"
"He still extremely loyal and trust England. Also we need him on our side if we're going to go at war against Britain."
"Whoa, War! Who said anything about war." New Jersey shot up.
"Why should go to war with Arthur?" North Carolina asked.
"I don't want to go to war we just came out of a war with the French and Indians." South Carolina looked over to Virginia.
"Everyone calm down there's no war."
"Yet."
"NEW YORK!"
"What? You know everyone was thinking that."
"NO ONE WAS THINKING THAT!"
"Really? I was."
"I was too!"
"Please don't encourage him." He took a deep breath and calmed every one down. "Now, Delaware please continued."
"In town today I overheard some people talking and apparently the price of sugar is going up…" There were some moans. "…And they think tea is next."
"WHAT?"
"NO!"
"I've already had to cut back at this rate I won't be able to buy any." Massachusetts took a sip from her tea.
"I love tea, I don't think I could live with out it." Delaware looked down.
"I didn't want to say this but there have been some people at my house who think if this continues there will be war." Virginia frowned.
"I didn't want to alarm anybody but people at my house have said the same thing. If that happens our only hope is Alfred."
"With out Alfred it won't be a war, just a massacre."
"NEW YORK!"
"What, you know it's true. Besides isn't that the point of this clubhouse to try and run things with out England."
"No it's to bring us closer together." New York stared at him. "And for some to complain."
"So were just talk, no bite." Before anyone could comment Pennsylvania changed the subject.
"Speaking of Alfred where is he?" everyone turned to Delaware.
"I told him to spend the night at the Adams's house because of the storm." He turned to Massachusetts. "I hope that's alright."
"Yeah, they're good people and Mrs. Adams loves kids."
"So what do we do know?"
"Just sit back and wait there's not much we can do."
Now that memory felt more like a dream than something that actually happened. So much had changed since then, he sighed. Still an hour before the meeting and there was still so much to do. He turned back to his computer and continued typing.
AN: A look at the past, Delaware was not always a stick in the mud or the responsible one and yes Massachusetts used to like before some certain events accrued. As for New York he will always be New York there is just no changing that. And New York was so preoccupied with the front door he forgot to lock the back door. I might update one of my other stories next, I don't know. Sorry for any mistakes in grammar or spelling but I'm tiered. I'll fix them later along with some of the previous chapters just not now.
In the future I want to do more past chapters (Maybe with the Louisiana Purchase if I can tie it in. I think this would be extremely fun to write.) One dealing with the civil war (*spoiler* it will mainly be about New York and will be short.)
Also if you haven't checked out my poll go check it out and vote. Let your voice be heard. And you can still guess the password which will be revealed in a later chapter. Okay that's all, I'm going to take a nap.
