Hai! Thanks to nighttrader1234 for reviewing (Nah, they all know she's not Alaska. And apparently Alaska is part of the U.S. -.- oops xP) Flannya, xXBrokenMarionetteXx, and Animefreaks48! 333
Oh, I am also going to be starting a new story called Hetalia Academy (inspired by one of my fav. Authors, Henrietta R. Hippo) but I'm not sure if I should do France/England pairing and a Japan/America pairing, or a America/England pairing, Japan/Greece pairing, and a France/Canada pairing. Please let me know what pairings you think are best! Also I can't think of who to pair China with…I don't really like the China/Russia or China/Japan pairing -.- please share your ideas thou!
Here was a normal day for Alice:
-Wake up, and grab somebody to go around exploring
-By then, everyone else was up, so they all sort of wandered around until they met up with the countries
-All hang out with the countries, normally with the countries arguing, then eventually split apart into pairs, each country with their respective girl. Well except for France and Italy, because then Jade went off with Mexico, and Rose with Brazil, so France and Italy walked around mopely, looking like kicked puppies.
-Alice would hang out with America for a while, but then decided he made her feel too-too weird, so she'd go and stick her noses in other people's business. Preferably Carrie's, because she still thought Japan was a perv.
-At around the afternoon/evening all the girl's would gather in the garden of the place they were staying. Right now it was France's, something Rose wanted to change desperately, but France was firm about it. All the other girl's weren't too happy about it either, because even though France was oddly dedicated to Rose, it didn't mean he wasn't going to come into their rooms at night. So they all locked their doors, though nothing had happened so far.
-They would talk for a while, and then eventually go to bed. Sometimes something big might happen, and Alice would get everyone and then they would all gather in the garden and discuss.
It was better than their old life back home. Nobody appeared to be getting tired of it (although they all did wonder what the show looked like now, and if the anime directors of the show even made the show, but instead was showing another world, Hetalia, to people on TV. Those people must be very confused right now.)
But today something was off. Something was different for some reason, but Alice couldn't place it.
"Do you notice all the countries are acting weird?" Jade asked one afternoon as they were all gathered in France's garden. Rose kept flinching at noises, expecting it to be France at any moment, whom she had been trying to avoid.
"What do you mean, 'weird'?" Hailey asked lazily, sprawled on her back in the grass. Her strange amber-and-green eyes watched a bumble-bee float by.
"I mean," Jade said, exasperated, "is like, they're acting all twitchy and weird toward each other. They argue like, all the time now."
All the girl's looked at her from their position on the grass. It was a pretty summer day, and they were all lying down on the grass, soaking in the sun. "Are you talking about Mexico? Well of course he's going to be arguing with all the countries, he's your boyfriend, and if he's arguing with Italy it's only because Italy obviously likes you and," Maggie said, sounding know-it-all-like. She would've kept listing off facts, but Jade interrupted her.
"No, I mean like Germany, and, I don't know, China are always glaring and arguing. And Italy is sticking by Germany's side like, all the time now, so that must mean something bad might happen to him!" Jade said sounding strained. Maggie just looked interested at the mention of China; she was technically "dating" that other guy Rose set her up with, but she really didn't like him.
"Since when do you care about Italy? You've got Mexico." Emma pointed out, twirling a sunflower that she had most likely gotten from Russia (again) between her fingers.
"That's not the point!" Jade snapped. "What I'm trying to say is, what if the countries go to war again, like they were before we got here? What if the only reason they stopped fighting was because of us, but now that peace is breaking, and they're going to hurt each other again? One of them could die!" she said fretfully.
Beverly, who had been listening but not saying anything, propped herself up on one elbow. Her red-brown hair bobbed in its pony-tail, and she studied Jade with her serious blue eyes. "It'll be fine, Jade." She said reassuringly. "If anything happens I'll protect you." She added, lying back down.
Alice was struck again about how close Jade and Beverly were, almost like sisters. They were like Germany and Italy, in a way, although Germany and Italy weren't brotherly. "I think Jade means that it wouldn't be good for the countries to get hurt." Alice pointed out.
"Mm, yes, that wouldn't be good at all." Rose murmured from where she was lying down in the grass. "Especially if America got wounded, oh what then, Alice?" she said almost sleepily from her position.
Alice shot her a sharp look, which Rose didn't see because her eyes were closed. "Can we stay on topic please?" Rose murmured something else that Alice didn't quite catch, but sounded like "revenge" was in the sentence.
"We should just leave the countries to their own business. They will figure it out." Carrie chimed in quietly. Unlike everyone else, she was sitting cross-legged in the grass.
"Psshh, since when will Alice leave anyone to their own business? Look at what happens with you and Japan! You poor guys never get alone time." Hailey said.
"Hey!" Alice protested sharply.
"Well, it's true. Bet you twenty bucks if you leave them alone for a week they will be dating." Hailey said smugly.
Alice narrowed her eyes. "And I bet you twenty bucks if I leave them alone for a week Japan will try to work his way into Carrie's pants."
"Stop!" Carrie said, totally red-faced. Alice laughed at her face, and Hailey drawled, "Well, I supposed that's just wishful thinking to Carrie, but they would be dating."
Carrie blushed so red, it must've been painful. Then suddenly there was a loud screech from what must've been far away.
"Italy!" Jade said, jumping up and looking frenzied. "Come on, we have to help him!" she told everyone on the ground.
The girls looked up at her, unsure if they should get into the countries business, or if it would be best if they left them alone, but then, there was America's voice, loud and clear, saying, "China, I choose you!"
"They're fighting." Hailey said, half sitting up with wide eyes.
"Why does he always choose China?!" Maggie said, already on her feet.
"Do we help them?" Rose asked.
All the girl's looked at Alice. Alice bit her lip, swaying, unsure if going would make the nations stop fighting. One of them could get hurt. But on the other hand, one of the nations could get hurt. She looked at all the girl's, who stared back at her pleadingly. "Fine, let's go."
With that, they ran. Hard. They ran so fast, that Jade could hardly keep up, lagging behind and gasping, clinging to Beverly. Unlike most days though, she didn't complain.
"Where…are…we going?" Hailey gasped to Alice, who was in the lead.
"To that place…you know the beach place…I think that's where they are…they always fought there before anyway…" Alice told her, breathing heavily.
They got to the place with sheer rocks, and the beach below. Sure enough, the nations were fighting. Germany, Italy, and Japan were on the beach, while America, England, China, France, and Russia were on the edge of the cliff. America was in the middle, with a kind of smile on his face, like he knew he was going to win the fight.
China was in the midst of jumping of the rock (how they jump off like a 100 feet and don't get hurt I will never get) and rushed to Germany, Italy, and Japan with his weapon thingy (is it like a giant pot or what? -.-) Immediately Beverly, Jade, and Carrie ran in front of the three.
Beverly put herself in front of Germany, Jade thrust herself in front of Italy, and Carrie was in front of Japan. All three looked toward China in a hostile way.
China faltered, unsure what to do about this new problem. He didn't really want to hurt the girls.
"C'mon China! Keep going!" America shouted. Alice gaped up at him. She couldn't believe him! What was his deal?
America didn't appear to notice Alice. He was still looking down at China, with that weird sort of smile on his face, like he was evil or something. Alice remembered in the show that he had been violent. But still, she thought he had changed!
Alice turned to Maggie, Emma, Rose, and Hailey. "I'm going up to America. You guys…take care of France, Britain, China, and Russia, kay? Try to stop them from fighting." The girls nodded gravely. Though they all liked the guys, they were all friends, and would always put each other first.
As Alice tried to climb the rocky terrain, slowly picking her way up to where America was, Maggie, Emma, Rose, and Hailey turned to each other. "What do we do?" Maggie asked.
Hailey bit her lip. Though she normally would be the sort of leader in a group if Beverly or Alice weren't around, this was difficult to solve. "Let's see what happens, and stop what does." She said at last.
Maggie turned to where China was still hesitating, not wanting the girl's to get hurt in the process of the fighting. Her green eyes widened. He wouldn't actually hurt them, would he?
"China! What are you doing?! Attack!" America shouted. Below him, Alice gritted her teeth. She was so going to kick his butt when she got up there.
China's face hardened. He ran forward toward both countries and girls.
As China was rapidly approaching, the countries were trying to get the girl's to leave.
"Beverly, go!" Germany said harshly, trying to shove her away. Beverly wasn't budging. "I'm not leaving you." She said, her brilliant blue eyes never leaving China. "Beverly, please." Germany said, suddenly sounding anguished. "I don't…" As Beverly looked back, she could see Germany looking at the ground, clearly trying to fight his emotions and not get emotional, "I don't vant you to get hurt." Beverly softened some. "I'm not letting you get hurt either." She said softly. They gazed in each other's eyes, wide eyed and searching.
Japan was trying to Carrie to leave also. "Carrie, you need to leave." He said. Carrie didn't move, still in front of him like she was going to protect him somehow. Japan didn't get how, she was so tiny and fragile. (a/n sorry, just didn't want you to forget that all of the girl's took lessons in karate and are black belts, and are perfectly capable of flipping someone over)
Carrie didn't move. "Mr. Japan, I am not letting you get hurt." She stated matter of factly. Japan was overwhelmed that in the moment she could still call him Mr. Japan, even when he told her to call him Japan. He wanted to keep that about her, wanted to desperately keep her safe and unharmed. So, doing something he probably would never have done with anyone else, he grabbed her arms and twirled her behind him, making them switch places. Carrie froze in shock. They were so close that they were forehead to forehead.
Italy was whimpering, already waving a white flag. "Jade, go." He said. "Ve, I don't want you to get hurt." Jade, despite her similarity to Italy was a lot braver then him, stood braced in front of Italy. China was nearly there. She didn't say anything. "Jade, please, go!" Italy said desperately. Though his heart had lightened enormously when she came to protect him (it must mean she like him! And not that evil Mexico that Italy hated…) he still wanted her to not get hurt. "It'll be okay, something always comes to protect us Jade, and it'll be fine, really!"
Jade looked over her shoulder at him, eyes narrowed. "Grandpa Rome won't protect you this time, Italy!" she snapped. Italy's eyes slowly opened and widened. Jade stared back at him with wide eyes. "How do you know about that?" Italy asked slowly and bewilderidly.
"Uuuuhhh…."
"Ay-yay!" China smashed his pot down hard and Italy's head and he crumpled. "Italy!" Jade screamed.
The girl's and other countries sprang apart from each other. Japan unsheathed his sword and sprang forward.
"No!" Maggie said, racing forward. The other girl's followed her, hoping they could get the countries to stop fighting.
Maggie put herself in front of China, and Carrie herself in front of Japan. Beverly tried to stop Germany from rushing to China and attacking him, which wasn't exactly easy.
"China! China! Stop!" Maggie said, raising her hands as she stopped in front of him. China didn't even look at her, looking at Japan and Germany, and kept trying to dodge around her. "China!" Maggie shouted, putting her hands on his chest and shoving him.
China looked down at her, with a mix of shock and a little bit of guilt on his face, like he was a child who had been caught doing something he shouldn't have. "Maggie?" he said bewilderedly.
Alice had finally climbed up rocky side to America. The wind was blowing hard, and Alice crossed her arms over each other, trying to keep warm. She planted her feet firmly on the ground, feeling like she was going to fall over any second. "America!" she shouted over the roar of the wind, her hair blowing to the side.
America wasn't even looking at her. He was in the same position, arms up by his side in anticipatment, the same weird smile on his face. "China! Keep going!" he shouted down as Alice slowly made her way over to him.
She grabbed his arm. "America, stop!" She shouted at him. He appeared to be deaf to her pleads. "America-"
Then America shook her off briskly, not even looking. But because of his abnormal strength, he shook her off so fiercely that Alice stumbled and fell over the edge, just managing to grab the side. "America you frickin * !#$&%!" She screamed.
America slowly shook out of his daze. "Alice?" he said, slowly looking around, confused. He then saw her clinging to the sheer face of the rock. "Alice!" he said, alarmed. He ran over, and thrust out a gloved hand. "Grab my hand!" he shouted over the wind.
Alice looked up at him, squinting, debris flying all around her. "Call off the fight."
"What?"
"I said, call off the fight!" she said angrily, still clinging the side, her fingertips turning white. "Call off the fight, America, or I let go."
America gaped at her wordlessly for a moment. Then shouted, "Are you suicidal?"
"No!" She shouted back. "I'm a good friend, and I'm trying to do the right thing. What you're doing here is hurting everyone. Call off the fight, America!"
America's face hardened. His hand was still out, but she didn't take it. "I can't do that Alice."
"Why not?" she said, trying to get a better grasp on the cliff. She was going to fall soon.
"This is war!" America shouted. "We can't just give up the fight! We can't just let it go! You think that just because you guys came here, we're going to stop fighting?! It doesn't work that way!"
Alice stared up at his face. She did know that in Hetalia, it was supposed to be WW2, when Germany tried to take over the world. Then…if it's following history…I suppose there's no way to stop it. She thought in defeat.
Then she looked down, at Maggie, who had stopped China, at Jade, who was holding Italy, at Beverly who was calming Germany, at Carrie, who was talking to Japan, at Emma, who was staring up at Russia, at Rose, who had changed France so much.
This isn't following our old world's history, she realized, it started too, but we came and we altered it. We can change it. It doesn't have to be this way. She looked back up at America, who wouldn't back down. I thought he had changed…that he wasn't so bloodthirsty anymore…she thought sadly. Well, if he won't stop…maybe, if I fall, the countries will stop fighting, and my friends will be happy…and then America might change…She made her choice.
She looked up at America, at his beautiful blue eyes, his messy dark blond hair, about everything she…well she liked (not loved, she wouldn't say loved) about him. Maybe, just maybe, this would change him. After all, she was American, and she knew Americans were stubborn as anything, and the only way to really get through to America was something drastic. Luckily she was a very drastic person.
Alice gave one last look at America. He looked back at her, his eyes slowly widening as he say the determination in her eyes. "Alice…"
"I thought you changed." She said. And she let go off the rock.
"Alice!" America screamed, lunging forward so much he was in danger of falling himself, trying to grab her hand. He missed.
As Alice went freefalling from the sky, she thought Well, this certainly will change something. If I don't die…oh crap can I die here? If I do though, this probably would make the countries stop fighting, and I guess then my friends would be happier…geez, they so owe me. The things I do for my friends.
Then her body smashed into the ground below, and the world went black.
Well, I am ending off here cause I really need to write something for my Ouran story. Lols, you know, I seem to be writing a lot about painful experiences…my poor OCs…well, remember to review about my story idea, and I will try to update soon!
