Chapter Twenty-One:

Ava follows Sealand back to the main entrance, where his family was waiting for them. Landonia was nowhere to be seen, although Sweden is carrying the micronation's laptop. The first one to greet Ava was Denmark, who was excited to meet the alien. " Hey there!" He shouts, patting the smaller girl's head. " You are gonna love living with the King of Northern Europe! I can show you my Legos, play in the snow and drink until we -ACK!" Before the Dane could finish his rambling, Norway began choking him with his tie.

" Just ignore the stupid Dane." Iceland says, slightly irritated at the loud country. " But we do hope you'll enjoy staying with us." Norway stops choking Denmark, looking at Iceland with his dull indigo eyes. The Norwegian man wanted to say something but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

" Hey bitch." Tony says, startling the Nordics. The Zanderian looks at the little grey man, ignoring the looks from Sealand's family. " You nearly forgot this." Tony added, handing a box to the girl. Ava takes the box and smiles at the little alien.

" Thank you Tony." The Zanderian replied, holding the box close to her chest. " Hopefully we can see each other again. I did enjoy my stay with you and America's family." Tony nods his head and headed back to his friend. Ava looks at the box with a smile on her face.

Sealand went over to Ava and tugs on the girl's shirt. " Ava, what's in the box?" The young British boy asks. " Can I see? Pretty please?" Sweden picks his son up and began heading towards the door. Finland smiles at the others.

" Well, we should start heading out now." Finland says in his usually jolly tone. " Avs, you can sit in the back with Iceland and Sealand. I'm sure you and Sealand have a bit of catching up to do. You are all my son has talked about since he came home."

Denmark smiled and pats Ava on the head. " Welcome to our family, kid!" He said rather loudly as everyone began heading to their mini-van in the parking lot. " We are going to-ACK!" Denmark was choked once again by Norway.

" You are so annoying." The Norwegian says rather coldly. " Why don't you be quiet for the rest of the ride, that way I won't choke you to death." Norway let's go of the Dane's tie and looks at Ava. "...Sorry..." he tells the girl and headed towards the van quickly.

After coughing a bit, Denmark throws his arm over Ava's shoulders. " Come on kid, to Sweden's place! The King is in need of beer!" He shouts cheerfully. Ava makes a face at the mention of beer. Everyone got to the van and got to the van and got into their seats. Ava sat between Sealand and Iceland, since both boys needed to use their seatbelts.

Sweden started the van and began the drive to the airport. Ava just stared at the box in her hands. " Ava, can I see what's in the box?" Sealand asks with puppy dog eyes towards the Zanderian. Ava smiles and nods her head.

" It's photographs of my family back when I lived on Zander." Ava explains, opening the box to reveal the box full of photos. Sealand looked in the box with wide eyes, even Iceland looked over from the corner of his violet eyes. " Tony even gave me from when I 'hung out' with everyone here in America." Ava pulls out a photo and looks at the last family photo she took with her parents. In the picture Ava's father is on one knee with his wife on his knee. Eviss and Ava were on each side of their mother, hugging the young looking woman.

Iceland's eyes widen at the image. " That man is huge!" He shouted, slapping a hand over his mouth in embarrassment. Denmark and Sealand laughed at Iceland's outburst, Sweden and Norway didn't look like they cared much about Iceland's embarrassment. Finland just smiled like he usually did.

" Hey, let the King see!" Denmark exclaims, snatching the picture from Ava's hands. Denmark whistled at the picture and shoes the other Nordics. " Icy is right, that man is huge! Who is he by the way? Your planet's friendly giant?" Ava pouts at Denmark's comment, earning the Dane a smack from Norway.

" That man was my father-" Ava answers. Sweden makes a sudden stop, jerking everyone foward from the momentum. Everyone looked back at the picture in Denmark's hand and then at the Zanderian.

Sweden was the first one to talk. " H'w?" He asks as the other nations were wondering the same thing. Ava blinks twice, then answers.

" Well, Zanderian men go through some extra growth spurts after having a child due to testosterone increase." The alien girl calmly explained. " But my father had a few more spurts than a normal Zanderian male, hence why he was so tall-"

Denmark laughed and hands the Sulli family photo back to Ava. " He must've been an amazing dad." He tells the Zanderian girl. " Could you tell us more about your family? The King requests to know more!" Sweden began driving once more as Ava began telling the Nordics stories about her family. She told them as much as she could remember from their hobbies, what they did for a living and their likes and dislikes.

Sealand and Denmark both listened to Ava in awe. It was mostly the alien girl talking except for a few interruptions when one of the two had a question. Norway only had to discipline Denmark twice during the stories, mostly for laughing loud and boasting about himself. Iceland didn't show it, but he was also interested in what Ava was talking about. " Hey Ava." Sealand interrupted the story this time. " When we first met you, you told us everybody on your planet had a unique ability nobody else could have. What did your family have the ability to do?"

" Well, " Ava starts as the Nordics listen carefully. " My mother had the unfortunate luck to have the ability to see someone's death before it happens. My mother would only need to look the person in the eye for it to work. She said that seeing alot of violent deaths when her ability kicked in caused her haemophobia. She didn't look many people in the eye unless she needed to or was requested to by the person who wanted to know their fate."

Finland looked sad about hearing what Ava's mother had to endure. He couldn't imagine not being able to look at his son or husband in the eye and seeing their horrible fates. Finland looks at Sweden, who kept his eyes on the road. Denmark looks a bit pale and tried telling a joke to lighten the mood, only to get choked by Norway once more.

" Idiot..." Iceland murmurs under his breathe. " Ava... W-What about your father and brother? Did they have sad abilities like your mother?" Norway's ears perked when he heard Iceland's question. Ava didn't get to continue when the Norwegian spoke up.

" Call me big brother and she can continue her story." The monotoned nation said, earning moans from the other Nordics. Ava tilted her head in confusion.

Iceland rolls his eyes. " Not gonna happen." He responds bluntly. " I can always ask her later anyway." Norway looked Iceland dead in the eye. His dull indigo eyes meeting bright violet ones.

" Call me big brother. "

" No."

" You know you want to.~"

" Nope. Nei. Not happening. "

" Say it.~"

" NO! Leave me alone!"

" Alright everyone! Let's go drinking! All drinks are on Icy unless he calls us all big brother!" Denmark shouted. Ava watches Norway choke Denmark again.

Norway looks at Denmark. " No teasing my lille bror." He tells the Dane with no emotion. The argument between Iceland and Norway continued while Denmark tried to regain his breathing. This argument continued for thirty minutes before Finland changed the topic.

" So Ava, you were sayin-" Finland turned around to see Ava and Sealand sleeping in the back seat. His son's head was on the girl's shoulder and her head on top of his. " Aww! So cute!~" The Finnish man squeals. " I'm sad that I didn't get to hear the rest of her story though."

Sweden said nothing but did grunt in agreement with his "wife".
