Ch.25 I'm SO sorry about how late this is! Open office was being a jerk and turned ALL MY FREAKING LETTERS AND SPACES INTO HASHTAGS! SO I HAD TO START ALL OVER! Anyways... Enjoy this chapter, Da? ^J^ So Hoffnungen and Ted discussed her schedule. Monday through Friday, no holidays. He then gave her his phone number, along with America and Canada's. "I forgot to tell you, But America and Canada have requested to be your allies." Hoffnungen took te piece of paper and smiled. "Of coarse! I would love to be allied with them! They're so sweet!" Ted smiles and quietly left. A week later, Hoffnungen received the money that she was promised and went shopping. She bought Lime Green, Sunflower yellow, and pitch black paint for the walls, and a pale yellow for the guest room. Her room was green, the Sunflower was for the living room and the black was for the bathroom. The kitchen walls were already white. Next was furniture. A nice bed, she didn't have to pay as much as a double bed would cost because she was looking for a single and all they seemed to have were doubles. A side table, and coffee table. A computer desk, a computer and some more cooking utensils. She got a few notebooks, pencils, pens, paints and brushes and Later she bought a cell phone and added the three numbers to her contacts list. Then she went and bought some clothes. She got the boots that were white with the same flaps as her sisters old shirt. She also bought some sleeves that didn't quite fit, so she got straps to help keep them up, and black and white leggings and scissors to cut her hair from the wavy hair she has had for so many years. After that, she looked at herself in a mirror. Something wasn't quite right. She removed the heart hairpin from her head and moved it her side, on the outer layer of her shirt. She looked great. Short hair, white shirt, sleeves, skirt, shoes. And the Iron Cross. Oh how she wished she could see Prussia again. Apologize for always calling him old and Grandpa just because he was Albino. Finally she snapped out of it and headed to the book store to buy new books. When she entered, she saw lots of history books and books on how to paint professionally. She bought lots for painting, And history on all the nations she could think of. Russia, America, Canada, Italy, England, France, China, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Romania, Prussia and Germany. Finally, she reached the shelves for Japan, and picked up a few from there, and saw something intriguing. "Manga? Whats this?" She opened the book and saw the page said "You're reading the manga the wrong way!" She looked at the instructions and began reading it correctly. After about an hour, she bought the rest of the series, along with a few others, bought the books, and went home. After going home, she didn't know what to do. The furniture wasn't going to come in until a few days later. She looked at her phone and decided to call Canada. She didn't know if he was busy, but she just wanted to talk to him again. She called the Canadian and waited for the phone to either end the call, or for him to answer his phone. After a while, the ringing stopped and she heard a familiar voice speak through the other end. "Umm... B-Bonjour? Who is this?" Hoffnungen smiles and jumped up and down. "Canada! It's me! Hoffnungen!" "H-Hoffnungen!? I'm so glad to talk to you again!" Hoffnungen could hear the excitement in his voice and smiled. "Me too! How are you doing?" "I'm great! Merci! How are you?"\ "I'm good, thank you too! Hoffnungen and Canada were talking for hours. About their day, their mood, the weather, climate, and important news. "Hey, Hoffy. There's a world meeting in a week. You should come!" Hoffnungen thought for a moment. She had never been to one and she really wanted to go. The president had mentioned something about her trying to go to one soon, but maybe it wasn't the time. But she could still feel her lips form the words. "Where is it?" "The next one is in Japan." "Alright. I'll try to be there" "Great!" Hoffnungen could hear how exited he was, even though he was doing a good job of being quiet and hiding it. "I'm glad you're coming" Hoffnungen nodded. During the week, nothing really happened. She went to work with the President, Went home, ate, entertained herself until bedtime. But today was the day of the trip to Japan for the world meeting and she was excited. She held out her special airplane ticket that nations get so they don't have to pay for a ride and they get special seats, and then she was on her way to Japan. She finally got there and went to her hotel. It wasn't very big. It didn't seem like any other nations were there. She went to her room, and from an exhausting trip, fell asleep instantly. When she woke up, she got dressed in the usual. White flaps with black button, iron cross around her neck, short hair brushed with bangs and these weird hairs that came across the top of her ear and came down to her neck like a ribbon swaying in the wind. Next was her sleeves and straps, leggings and carefully set her hairpin on her skirt. She left the room and went to the meeting building. It was a big building and made her feel slightly uncomfortable. But she still walked inside. She saw many people walking, but she had to find a specific room. Finally she found it and as she was entering it, she bumped into someone and fumbled over. "Oh! I-I'm sorry Miss... Prease forgive me" She looked up from the ground to see a young man with short black hair and emotionless brown eyes. "Are you arright miss?" He held out a hand to her and helped her back up to her feet. "Umm... H-Hai..." The man started back into the room. "I'm sorry miss, but you can't come into this room. This room is for speciar personner onry." "Well, I;m suppose to be in this room for a meeting." "You are?" The mans eye's widened. "Are you a nation?" "Actually, Hai, I am" He started looking as though his body was confused, but not those dead eyes. "T-Then, Why do you keep speaking Japanese?" Hoffnungen smiled widely and continued walking into the room, the man beside her. "Well, I'm actually part Japanese. I'm also part Italian, American, Canadian, Austrian, Russian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Icelandic, English, Chinese, French, Indian-" The man interrupted her. "Ah, I see now." "Oh! What nation are you?" "Oh... I'm sorry about that... I'm Japan" Hoffnungen's eye widened with excitement. "Oh! So you're the one I have to thank for manga and Anime! Oh thank you! Arigato!" "W-Werr, I'm grad you riked them."
