Tsuki: Well, I'm glad most of you guys are happy with the latest chapter...

Romano: Even though it made no sense.

Elli: But there was so much fluff and sexual themes~

Spain: Hmmm, so now that the Mafia arc and the Alien arc are done, what's next?

Tsuki: Now we move to the next arc, one I quite enjoy cause Kyuji is working with me on it~

Romano: Dear god...

Tsuki: Can't spoil anymore~ Oh! But for my readers, I know about my heavy hints of Lovi being sick. There's ideas floating around and I can't spoil anything, but make a review what YOU think is wrong with Lovino and give me your opinion if you're okay with that or not.

Romano: Didn't know my life depends on a bunch of fangirls...

Elli: Oh shush.

Spain: Yay~ May we start?

Tsuki: Yeah, that's all I need to say. Onto Chapter twenty-six!

Diclaimer: Hetalia cannot and will not be owned by me, ever


"WHAT?"

Elizabeta, Gilbert, and Iggy were standing side by side, faces priceless. Antonio was too busy trying to keep Manny from tackling him and having his arm around Lovino at the same time; Juan was trying to be mature and holding back the beaming happiness with a scowl on his face.

"Yep! Antonio is here and living!" Alfred announced but his eyes said differently, "Thanks to Tony…" Kiku was standing close to the American, holding his arm to provide some form of comfort. Feliciano was smiling and bouncing around Ludwig.

"When Antonio crawled out of the attic and told us what was happening, I was so happy~!" Francis was nodding also; he was happy but solemn as he saw the Brit cough.

"Francis told me the basics of you little plan…and all I can say is―"

"You are despicable, Manny." A small feminine voice whispered from the top of the stairs. When said Spanish boy looked up he saw Elena glaring down at him, her eyes fierce.

"I might not know what you all are hiding from me…but sacrificing your own friend to save another. It's truly evil…" she whispered as she went down the steps. Juan walked forward to her and tried to dwell her anger.

"Ella, it was for th―"

"Shut up! That kid is heartless! He always has been! He never wondered about papa, he didn't even get as affected to mama disappearing than we did! He just clung to Antonio and started being happy again! Something is wrong with you!" she yelled as she pointed to the small boy that was frozen in place. Everyone else in the room was silent as well before a sob racked through the room. Manny was keeping hold on Antonio's leg and looking at his older sister with shined eyes.

"It wasn't my fault! Tony wanted to do it!" he sobbed.


The day was extremely beautiful as the breeze hit Manny's face. He turned to look at the saddened Tony and tilted his head. He found out about Tony and Antonio being aliens just yesterday, then of course of the events that were going to happen. He really didn't want Mr. Lovi to be sad again.

"Tony? What's the matter?" Manny asked innocently. The alien made a sighing motion before he typed on his PDA and showed it to his youngest human friend.

["The Italian's alien is leaving the day after tomorrow"]

Manny nodded and looked away before curling his knees and holding them, "…Lovino will be sad again….I wish I could do something…" he whispered and paused to hear the PDA being typed before he was shown the screen

["I want to help, I think I can take his watch and I can take the human form also. The elder will mix me with him and take me away instead."]

Manny widened his eyes and shook his head, "B-But! Bad things will happen to you if you get taken away! What about Mr. Jones and his wifey? I thought you were friends with them." He whined and leaned forward, the typing resumed again and the screen was shown again.

["Alfred and Kiku don't need me anymore…I think it's from the stupid love movies I watched…But I think I should save the alien and his Italian, to my best abilities."]

Maneul still shook his head while a few tears spilled out, "But you're my friend too! I don't want you to give yourself away for Antonio's sake! B-But I care for Antonio too, he's the only dad I have…" the Spanish boy sniffled and wiped his running nose with his sleeve. He tried to ignore the typing but had to read what was in his face.

["I'm mostly doing this for you too, just let me help. I know we can come up with something!"]

The six-year old hiccupped and looked hesitantly at the grey alien, "It won't be the same without you…." The alien nodded solemnly and started pushing at the boy to make him think, "But if you really want to do this…I can't stop you."

So through the remaining daylight hours Manuel and Tony told their plans to the agents. Alfred was distraught about it and Kiku was disturbed by it. It took a while to convince a tearful Alfred that is was the right thing to do and moved to tell the inventor of the watch to assist. He was slightly against it also; knowing what would happen if they were exposed. But later he agreed anyway, after seeing Antonio giving the irritable Italian a hug and whispering sweet nothing to him, but the Italian just looked down and didn't fight back. The five discussed the way to do this correctly, about the watched anatomy, and of course about if it would really keep Antonio in his regular form when the watch was gone. Francis had no idea about the outcome.

"Cause I never took off this watch, if I did…bad things would happen." He explained simply. But soon a plan was met, and the next day Francis conducted a meeting that would upset Lovino to leave and give enough time for Manny to pull Antonio in, without any disturbance from Iggy. Antonio was also against this proposal.

"Lo siento, but if me living results in Tony dying then I have to decline. I love my Lovi, and trust me when I say I hate to leave him. But I can't just sacrifice a life to save my own. It's not right." He explained stoically, Manny was biting his lips and looked to Tony to see him nod.

"You love Lovi, right?" he asked the Spaniard, he looked dumbfounded at such a simple question and nodded his head.

"Of course I do! He's the light of my life!"

Maneul nodded and looked down, it was hard to explain why Tony wanted to do this. It hurt, "Well, Tony thinks that's everyone needs to stay with their love. He knows that if you're not here then Lovi will fall apart, he needs you just as much as you need him. Tell me you haven't noticed how ill Lovi's been looking lately. Tony is willing to sacrifice himself for that…so please…it's harder for me to say this…he's my best friend…"

Antonio was frozen on the spot, his eyes distant and calculating. His fists made a clenching sound before he was shaking his head and trying to disbelieve he was actually agreeing to this.

"I-I really don't want to do this, it's so wrong….But Tony and Manny are right…So let's do this…"

The five nodded and started to operation of removing g the watch with upmost carefulness, to the surprise of everyone, when the watch clicked opened and was fully removed from Antonio, he didn't change. Francis was amazed and started checking over the alien to see if he felt different.

"I can't hear as well as I was just a moment ago…and my sight isn't doing well either cause I can't see from a mile away now…"

Kiku was also amazed ad started asking random questions about how Antonio was doing, since he was the first alien to stay in his human form even when the watch was gone. Tony soon had the responsibility to put the watch on his own wrist, it activated immediately and saved all information Antonio had, even the form of the previous Antonio…. A glow filled the bottom floor of the shop as two Antonios were now standing. Manny quickly grabbed the new Antonio and started up the stairs.

"Now we get to bed and Lovi doesn't expect a thing." Manny whispered solemnly as he heard the other Antonio going with the other three men to a place to hide for the night an tomorrow. Tony was nodding silently, trying to work his new human legs.


Manny had diverged to the point of wailing, "I didn't want him to do it! But he wanted to keep Antonio and Lovi happy! I-I want my friend back!" he wailed finally and clung to Antonio's leg, hiding his face to keep from crying loudly.

Lovino was narrowing his eyes as he bent down to pick up the kid and hold him to his chest as he wailed, "Feli, do something with her…" he scowled and looked away, his motioned the Spaniard to follow as they left the main room of the shop with a sobbing and loud child. Juan was torn over the silence to comfort his little brother or stay to protect his little spiteful sister. He never heard Elena speak with such venom, such hate toward her own flesh and blood. He was worried for her sanity now; an eight-year old shouldn't be so hateful. So when Feliciano went forward and started to speak the Spanish girl with a wavering voice, he left to find his little brother. And by leaving that scene, with Feliciano and Ludwig teaching the girl to be respectful and knowing of one's feelings, he had wiped all his care and love for that girl. The innocent and pure girl he sought to protect was not there anymore, she had died and a demon took the form of his beloved sister. Elena was not his sister anymore, just a random girl that shared his last name. He only had one true family now; he stilled loved his mother mind you, but now he had a new mother in the form of an irate man that acted like the older boy much to close, a new father in the form of an alien idiot that was happy and a ditz but had a loving heart, then his little brother that was too kind and smart for his own good. Juan knew he had changed in such a small amount of time, he was blown back at information he would never understand, but he was complete. He had a family to protect now, a new one that wasn't abandoned and hateful. When Juan entered the lounge to see his mother gently rocking a restlessly sleeping Manny and his father holding the both of them while humming, the Spanish boy cracked a sad smile and went forward to join them, sitting in Antonio's lap and reaching forward to pet his brother's wild black locks.

It was a perfect family, one that didn't have to separate. One that was so abnormal, that it was normal in some weird world somewhere.


Meanwhile, Elena was sitting in a chair and forced to write sentences as punishment for her actions by Ludwig. She really meant her words and did not regret it, as for now. She refused to believe that Manny was her little brother, she stuck to the hope her mother would come back for just the two older children and leave the younger to the world of abnormal. That would truely make her a happy child, but she guessed that Feliciano and Ludwig being her parents wasn't bad either. They were good people, and perfectly normal, she liked normal. She like simplicity and steps to a T. It was just her way of life.

"Ve~ How are we doing on the sentences?"

Elena pouted as she looked up at the younger Italian, "Almost done, but my hand hurts." she answered. He small man nodded and made to sit next to her to watch her finish work.

"You not the only person hurting you know." He said simply. Elena pursed her lips together as she got ready for a lecture, "Manny just wanted things to be happy for everyone, and Tony pushed him to do it. You can't blame him for it. And he's not heartless, he's six."

Elena sighed and put her pencil down before turning in her seat, "But it's just not that, he's always been heartless. I want to get away from all this cause weird things always surround him."

Feliciano titled his head, "Weird things? Like what?"

Elena sighed and started counting her fingers, "He saw monsters in the house, he always was able to say what was for lunch or dinner, and he was just always doing and saying the strangest things. He's scary…"

Feliciano made a hum and nodded before taking the pencil and putting it in the girl's hand, "Fratello is weird too if you haven't noticed, but I still love him." He explained, "But…if you really are sure that you want to get away―"

"I do!"

"―then you have permission to move with me and Luddy back to Italy at the end of September…" he finished, "Ve~ we thought about it for a while but we think that it'd be good if you went out and expressed your talents." Elena was awestruck.

"You'll really let me live with you!" she said happily, her heart completely changing. The Italian nodded but quickly corrected himself.

"But to make everything better you have to at least be civil with little Manny and not spite him every time you see him." Elena was too elated that she nodded with excitement.

"Si! Si!" she squeaked and hugged the man, "I love you so much!" she squealed and started hopping in her chair. Feliciano nodded happily but caught the footfalls of his blonde fiancé and started motioning with his hands.

"Get back to work now, Ludwig is still a strict meanie pants and will take your dessert away." Elena nodded and hurried back to work with a grin on her face as she started scribbling again. Feliciano stood and walked to his lover to grin, the blonde only lifted a brow.

"So you lectured her?"

"Si! She took it quite well~!"

Ludwig rolled his eyes and kissed his lover's forehead before walking into the kitchen. "Ja, let's just start filling the orders we got."

"Okay!"


In his bedroom Kiku was typing on his computer, reading over the many messages his organization had left him and Alfred to do. He was amazed by the change of the people around him in such small amount of time and was silently hoping for more. His eyes glided across the screen before they stopped at the newest didn't have a spot on sender as it had been bounced upon the web, but he guess it was a person of the organization to be really secret. So when he opened to read over the message his eyes widened dramatically. He scanned the message over and over again before he ultimately stood up and sprinted out of the bedroom in search of his spouse.

"Alfred!"

On the screen at the bottom of the message read,

We will see you tomorrow, da? It'll be a nice little family reunion~

Love, IB
