A/N: Here it is! Here is the last chapter of this story. Unfortunately there will not be a sequel to this story Be forewarned, I ship GermanyxAtlantis and at the end of this chapter, there is so fluff between them.

On a totally unrelated subject my friend and I got two pumpkins for Halloween and we named them. She named hers Jack the Tripper and I named mine Prussia the Awesome. Sound familiar?

Chapter 13: Finitus

Aniki's funeral was held on the last Saturday of the month and, of course, it was raining. Every person who had known Aniki was there dressed in black. Mr. Kirkland, Feliciano, Lovino, Ludwig, Francis, Gilbert, Antonio, and, surprisingly, Aaron, all came to the funeral to support Tris.

Tris stood before her brother's casket, fists clenched at her sides. Her blue eyes were the color of ice and at that moment seemed just as cold. She was furious with her older brother for leaving her alone. And she truly was alone. Both her parents had disappeared as well as Malcolm not long after Aniki's death. The hunt for her parents was still on. Aaron walked over to Tris and grabbed one of her hands. He just held it for a while, looking at Aniki Sinclair's casket. Suddenly Tris's other hand was being held. Tris looked up and saw Ludwig looking off to the side, blushing. Tris smiled in spite of herself.

"Guys, I'm not a baby. I'm fine." It was a lie, they all knew that. But it was a lie that would keep Tris going.

"What are you talking about? I just don't want him to be near you." Ludwig said glaring at Aaron. Even though Aaron had more or less become Tris's shadow, Ludwig and Aaron still didn't really like each other.

"Yeah and I don't want Nazi boy to be holding your hand." Aaron said. Ludwig flinched at the insult and Tris pulled both of her hands free from the feuding males. Tris glared at Aaron and stalked toward the area where her brother was to be buried. She thought she was the only one there until she noticed someone standing off to her right, near Lea's grave. It took Tris a moment to realize it was Francis. When she registered who it was she walked toward him, accidently overhearing some of what he was saying to Lea's headstone.

"I'm so sorry. I knew what was going on and I didn't do anything. I'm such a jerk. You must really hate me."

"No she doesn't." Tris said causing Francis to jump.

"Tris? What are you doing here?"

"This is a public cemetery and my brother's supposed to be buried over there." Tris said pointing at the spot. "And she doesn't hate you."

"And how do you know that? You don't even know what happened."

"I know because she told me."

"She told you?" Francis's face showed hurt that Lea had divulged whatever had happened between them to Tris.

"Yeah, when I was in the hospital unconscious I saw her. She told me that I needed to go back and the usual stuff. She also told me that you guys were fighting not to take me off life support. And before she left and I woke up she told me to tell you it wasn't your fault." Francis's body relaxed when he realized Tris didn't know what he wasn't being blamed for.

"That makes sense, just before you woke up another kid from our school, Arthur Kirkland, Ian's youngest brother, was in your room and he swore he saw a soul come through the ceiling and get sucked into your mouth. He nearly died from surprise. I guess he really can see things the rest of us can't. Um… and uh, Lea didn't tell you what it was about…?"

"Nope." Tris said. Francis smiled slightly.

"Better that way I guess," he muttered under his breath.

Tris was sitting in the music room during lunch playing The Parting Glass on Lea's harp. The soft music was the only sound in the deserted room. Suddenly the door opened and Ludwig, Feliciano, and Aaron were there, listening to Tris's music. Feliciano closed his eyes and mouthed the words to the song. When Tris had finished she turned to her friends.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked.

"We were just looking for you." Feli said. Tris snorted and rolled her eyes.

"Thanks but I'm fine. I even brought my lunch with me. See?" Tris held up a plastic baggie with two slices of pepperoni pizza inside. Even though Tris had started eating again Feli and Ludwig still watched her like hawks but mercifully they had stopped feeding her like she was two years old.

"Maybe they came to check up on you but I'm just here to talk." Aaron said as he sat on one of the desks. Ludwig glared at him but said nothing. "So, you wanna get a coffee or something sometime?" Ludwig's glare intensified.

"Excuse me?" Tris asked. Aaron slid off the desk and stood before Tristany.

"I'm trying to ask you to go on a date with me."

"Why?"

"To apologize for my cousin being a jerk." Tristany's blue eyes darted over to Ludwig and away in half a second.

"Thanks but I'm not really ready for something like that…" Aaron nodded and shrugged.

"Sure, whatever. So, you still cool with being friends?" Tris smiled.

"Yeah." Aaron left the room quickly followed by Feliciano.

"Well, that was unexpected." Tristany huffed.

"What?" Ludwig asked.

"Being asked out." Ludwig snorted.

"Please. You've got to see how the guys around here look at you."

"I don't follow you."

"Men are stupid, not blind. Now that you're talking again, you're a legitimate dating option. Guys are going to come flying at you left and right." A small smile tugged at Tris's mouth.

"Well, I know a way we could remedy that situation."

"How?" Ludwig asked.

"Would you like to get a coffee with me later this afternoon?" Tristany asked. Ludwig blinked in confusion.

"What? I thought you said you weren't ready for that sort of thing." Tris winked.

"Three minutes ago, I wasn't. Now, I think I can handle the challenge." Ludwig shook his head and held the door open for Tristany.

"I will never understand women." Tris grabbed his hand and tugged him down the hall.

"We should get that coffee now. How about a movie too? There's a new action one that just started showing yesterday." Ludwig grinned down at Tristany.

"Yeah. That'd be good."

~Fin~

The last chapter… Man I can't believe I made it this far. I'm happy with what I have now but it's really quite different from how I originally planned it to be and the whole love interest was never part of the original.

Thanks for everything guys, see ya in the next one~
