Random Halia fact: Ya'll know that the three are from Texas, but the three weren't born in the same city. They met in their teens, Halia was born in South Texas in a city that is bordering to Mexico, that's why she knows Spanish.
Random Aleron Fact: He is from the central part of Texas and while he knows Spanish, he isn't as inclined to speak it as Halia is.
Random Dysis fact: Dysis grew up in the northern part of Texas where speaking Spanish is frowned upon and apparently makes you an illegal Mexican immigrant… She understands Spanish but still hesitates to speak it.

Italy blinked the tears away as he looked around him to see Dysis fade back into his line of vision until she became solid. Immediately everyone, one by one, followed suit as they formed into a circle with him at the center.
"Ah, that's right. I—" Italy began to say as he stared at everyone.
'I have many… friends. This close to me all this time…' Italy thought trying not to cry as he found himself in the room once more still surrounded by his friends.
"Itary? Why are you rooking down? Do you stirr feer unwerr?" Japan asked worried.
"No, I'm fine. There's something I… want to tell you—" Italy began to say.
"Aaaargh!" Spain suddenly shouted causing Halia to jump up from her seat in surprise, flail around trying to regain her balance before falling and landing partly under the table. Aleron and Dysis looked down at their fallen friend blankly without moving from their seats.
"Damn it! What are we going to do, Romano?!" Spain said shaking Romano.
"Wh-what the hell are you going on about?" Romano asked confused as Halia slowly used her arms to pick herself up.
"I forgot to tell Austria and the others that we found Ita…" Spain hesitated nervously.
"…" Romano stared at him annoyed. Halia managed to sit up under the table as she held her head groaning. Dysis lip twitched upward in amusement but managed to hold it back as Aleron lost interest and started listening to what was going on.
"Er, what is he coming, too? Wait, 'the others'? You mean…" France said putting the pieces together.
"Almost everyone who came to the world meeting." Romano confirmed.
"Romano threw a fit back there. He was really desperate to save his brother, you know." Spain clarified as he gave Romano a playful nudge. "I'd never seen Romano being that honest before!"
"Shut the fuck up, asshole! What's wrong with swallowing my pride to save my brother?!" Romano spat out angrily as he shoved Spain away from him.
"Yeah! You're right, Brother Dearest!" Prussia cheered in agreement as he grinned at Germany.
"Romano… thank you." Italy said tearing up again.
"Are you planning on getting out from under the table?" Aleron asked peeking under the table at Halia.
"I just want you to come back… I don't want you to go through that again." Romano admitted as he blushed turning away.
"Aww, how sweet." Halia said quietly watching the events unfold as she ignored Aleron.
"Since we fixed the time quite a bit, our phones also work at least a little, right?" Russia asked a moment before it started ringing.
"BAM!" they all turned to the table to notice Dysis laughing loudly as she held her stomach and Aleron smirking in satisfaction.
"…Ow." They heard Halia groan as she slowly poked her head out from under the table rubbing her head.
"H-Halia?" Canada went to Halia and knelt down as he petted the top of her head checking for any damage as Kumajirou hugged her.
"Good timing! I'm sure we'll be able to hear their angry voices even from here." China said cheerfully keeping Canada and Halia within sight in case they needed his expertise.
"All right! We'll all watch Spain get an earful of it!" America cheered.
"Oh, God. Romano, can't you answer it instead?" Spain panicked holding out the phone for Romano.
"Just answer it already." Romano told him annoyed.
"Okay." Spain said looking at the phone for a moment.
"I'll answer it." Halia said with a grin as she rubbed her head.
"Really?" Spain said blinking before throwing her a bright smile as he passed her the ringing phone. Aleron grinned as Dysis began waving frankly and mouthing 'no' over and over again in horror behind Halia.
"Hola! Yo soy España(1)! England turned me into a woman and I don't know what to do!" Halia said as she sobbed into the phone still sitting on the floor beside the table. Spain froze in horror with mouth agape and England threw a look of disbelief in her direction as America began to laugh heartily.
"…" they watched as Halia listened nodding despite Austria being unable to see her.
"Yes, that's America laughing in the background, I'm doing okay, I hit my head when the phone rang but Canada is taking care of me~ What about you, how are you doing?" Halia asked tilting her head.
"…"
"Uh-huh. Esta bien(2)! Si, everyone is here! Listen, I will place you on speaker so everyone can hear!" Halia said cheerfully as she clicked the button. "You're on speaker~"
"Thank you miss… Spain… I know you are there." Austria's voice could be heard from the phone.
"Eheh… H-hi, long time no see." Spain said with a sheepish grin as Halia gave him a sheepish shrug.
"Yes. Long time." Austria responded with a mild tone.
"H-how are you?" Spain said biting his lower lip nervously.
"I'm fine. Thank you." Austria said politely.
"Well, um… I'm really sorry. I forgot to call you, huh? I was with Romano and…er…um…" Spain hesitated.
"Yes, yes. There are a mountain of things I want to say to you. Or a lot more than a mountain, actually." Austria said still using an overly pleasant tone. "When Romano didn't contact us, I was worried sick, you fool!" Austria's pleasant voice changed into a harsher tone.
"Huh?! Roma?" Spain said confused as he turned to Romano.
"…Idiot." Was all Romano said.
"Italy, you can hear me, can't you? Come down for a bit. Look outside from the window." Austria said his mild voice returning.
"What? Oh, o-okay." Italy said worried he was going to get scolded.
"Wait, don't go by yourself! Let's all go together." Canada said helping Halia stand up as he stood up himself.
"…" Halia gave a wince at the sharp pain from her foot and quickly looked around to see if anybody had noticed. 'This is bad; the rice ball didn't heal my foot…'
"Hold on. Don't walk in the front. You're being targeted, aren't you? Come behind me." England said .
"Yeah. Let's go quickly, or else he won't stop bitching." Prussia said knowingly. They all began to walk toward the entrance with Halia lagging behind France. She grabbed on to his sleeve when she noticed she was slowing down causing him to turn to her.
"Sorry, if I don't hold on I'll get further behind everyone." Halia explained as he stopped.
"Halia, you don't need to come, you can stay here and rest. This room is very sa—" France said.
"NO!" Halia shrieked gripping his arm tightly to her chest. "Don't leave me alone! Don't…" her voice lowered to a whisper. France felt as though his heart had been squeezed as she stared at him terrified. "Um, uh… I mean…" Halia blushed embarrassed at her outburst. "Um, I just don't want to miss out on anything…"
"…Ma petite…" France began absently noting that everyone had already left the room before her outburst. "…Ma petite… What Italy did… he—"
"Can we not talk about this? We are getting left behind." Halia said suddenly releasing him and limping past him where she braced herself against the wall as she slowly descended the stairs. France stared for a moment before grabbing her arm.
"You need to talk about it eventually." France told her as he picked her up and carried her down the stairs to prevent her from hurting herself further.
"?" England glanced at them when they made it down the stairs.
"She was limping so I helped her out." France explained to them.
"Oh, I should have helped you." Canada said ashamed that he had briefly forgotten her injured foot.
"Let's go, Austria is waiting." Spain said nervously as England took the lead. France let Halia down before crouching in front of her.
"It will be faster if I give you a piggy back right." France explained.
"…" Halia stared a moment before giving a sigh and climbing onto his back.
"…So many…" Japan overheard Halia as he walked past France and Germany. Halia had her legs wrapped around France's waist and her arms wrapped loosely around his neck with her head resting on his shoulder as she looked out the window
"Haha. This again." France chuckled as he held on to Halia's legs to keep her from falling.
"Huh? What? What are you looking at, you two?" Italy asked.
"Italy. I've heard of what you've done to some extent. Not very laudable, was it?" Austria commented over the phone.
"I-I'm sorry… But I—just—" Italy began helplessly.
"You're far from being a fool! You're an outright idiot! Do you have any idea how worried Romano was?!" Austria scolded.
"H-hey, you don't have to go that far—" Germany began to defend.
"Nooo! Keep talking! Hey, Italy! Take a look out the window!" Prussia told him.
"…" Italy stared a moment before he headed to stand by Germany. 'Ugh. I knew it, they're mad at me. Well, of course… it's my fault…'
"Oh! Everyone…" Italy said looking out the window to find all the nations that had been at the world meeting wandering around.
"They all came for you, Italy." Halia said softly as she looked down at Austria who was closest to the window.
"Italy!" Austria shouted as he lowered the phone.
"Y-yes?!" Italy shouted back nervously.
"Probably not a good idea to shout…" Aleron commented quietly.
"I don't approve of your idea to try to solve everything on your own." Austria said bringing the phone back to his ear. "However… You really did your best." Italy's lip trembled as he bit it to keep himself from saying anything.
"The whole world has come to help you, but unfortunately, we couldn't find a way to get in." Austria admitted running a hand through his hair frustrated. "We'll have to support you from outside, however frustrating this may be."
"Whoa! Those over there are the Nordics… and… over there are…" England said pointing at the corresponding nations. Russia approached the window and stood beside England.
"Ukraine… and even Belarus!" Russia said torn between relief and worry at seeing his sisters. Russia leaned toward the window and placed his hand on it in an attempt to get closer to them.
"Everyone…" Italy muttered softly getting the attention of everyone in the hall.
He closed his eyes and everyone had surrounded him in a circle in the dark room with Romano standing beside Russia and Spain standing across from Romano and next to China. Halia and Aleron had moved to the side to make room for the two nations as Dysis stood somewhat inside it. He turned his head as he noticed Ukraine appear a little behind France outside of the circle. A second after, Korea appeared behind America and Liechtenstein appeared behind Prussia. They were soon followed by Austria behind Spain, Hungary behind Halia and Belarus behind her brother.
"Amazing. We really have to get out all together." England commented snapping Italy out of his thoughts.
"I…" Italy said rubbing his eyes.
"Yes?" Japan inquired.
"I'm all un-alone." Italy said as he gave a teary smile.
"Italy, you were never alone. I have always been by your side. Since the second timeline. And Halia has been silently supporting you since the very first memory." Dysis said placing a hand on his shoulder and taking out a hand held mirror out of her pocket. Italy stared at the hand on his shoulder for a moment before gently removing it and squeezing it refusing to let go for the time being.
"Indeed! You should broaden your horizons! Also, you should come home soon. The cakes are getting cold!" Austria told him. "First you have to come out safe and sound. We're also doing everything we can here. It's rather uncanny, everyone agreeing so much with one another."
"It's a unity warning." China said teasingly.
"Haha, it's true! We can never get anything done together when we have a meeting, and yet now we've started working together." America declared with a hearty laugh.
"Well, of course! Even though we fight and don't get along… we're all fellow nations." Spain declared before glancing at the three humans. "Oh, er… well, most of us."
"Don't worry; think of us as… a small piece of America's hair." Halia said after a moment.
"His hair?" Aleron said in disbelief.
"I dunno, three strands of hair for three Americans… who am I kidding, I'm just making this up." Halia groaned as she hid red her face in France's hair.
"By that theory, you are currently hiding your face amongst the French citizens." Dysis said as she let out an amused giggle as she watched her friends arms turn red as well.
"Gah! Shut up! I'm sorry I ever… ptui, ptui. Ugh, got French citizens in my mouth…" Halia said before she felt shaking. "Eh?" she frowned for a moment as she processed the fact that the shaking was coming from France as he laughed. She blinked as she heard some more noises and looked around to see the nations, Aleron and Dysis laughing.
"Stop it!" she pouted playfully making them laugh some more. "I'm sleepy and can't be held accountable for what I say! Kuma! Make them stop! … Gah, et tu, Kuma?"
"Hehehe… That aside… Spain is right." Canada said once they began to calm down.
"Heh…. Yeah." Italy agreed after a moment. 'I still haven't got some of my memories back. Still, I can already answer their most important questions.'
"Everyone, sorry for making you wait." Italy said before squeezing Dysis hand again smiling when he felt the squeeze returned.
"Veneziano…" Romano said concerned for his brother.
"I'll tell you everything. Everything I remember." Italy told them.
"Italy…" Germany said turning to Italy.
"I'll tell you everything from the very beginning, so this could take quite a while. Still, I want you to listen." Italy said cutting off Germany.
"It's about time, aru! Go ahead and tell us already, and don't hold anything back!" China told him crossing his arms across his chest.
"It'll be a quiz…" America said.
"I've been waiting to hear that, Italy!" Prussia said giving Italy an encouraging smile.
"Prease, do terr. We want to know the extent of it." Japan told him.
"…" Halia stared at Italy with a pensive expression.
"Halia, Dysis. The both of you already know what's going on. You should head back to the room." Italy said releasing Dysis' hand. Everyone gave a start and looked at both girls. Aleron and England, who were aware of Halia's knowledge, focused more on Dysis.
"I'm not leaving you." Dysis said decidedly.
"… I… I only know one perspective of what happened. I want to hear it from your perspective. I want to understand the situation from multiple perspectives. Above all, I want to understand what has been going on through your mind." Halia admitted.
"Thank you. Let's see… it all began shortly before the world meeting. I happened to overheard some rumors… and that's when the clock hands began to move…" Italy began.
(1) Hello, I am Spain!
(2) Okay! Yes,
Fk306: Phew, got this done Sunday, November 4. This is Hetaoni episode 10 part 4 of 4 for those of you that don't feel like going through countless videos to find it. I haven't said this before and I realize it belatedly but thanks so much to SotetAG for the translations! I doubt they are aware though… Another chapter without Sirflightypencil, gah, I always feel paranoid when he doesn't check if the characters are… in character… Halia has a tumblr for those that want to ask her questions. Haliaarden . tumblr. com
teenbooks4eva: Well right now I'm in class and all that...sorry about the whole inability to answer... What's gonna happen when the story gets to the end
Fk306: Not really sure, Sirflightypencil and I would like to try to make up our ending. So many ideas but I need Sirflightypencil to discuss all the ideas with and it's difficult to get in contact with him nowadays.
phoebe.357: To Halia: Yes, my scones are deadly...I am also from England...
To Italy: I am sorry for is about to happen...Please Stay alive...*hug*
To England: Why don't you believe that Halia and the others are from Earth?
To Germany: You sure do like your beer...
To Canada: YOU ARE SO CUTE! I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU!
To Aleron: BACK THE HELL AWAY FROM ITALY! OR I WILL GET YOU! I HAVE SCONES!
Thank you so much for updating! I love this story! Can't wait for the next update...
Halia: Neat, I would love to try the food.
Fk306: Halia has weird taste in food.
Halia: Hey, so do you!
Fk306: Yeah, I do…
Italy: I'm doing my best, I can't afford to die… not when we are so close…
England: Chapter 15, Halia told me we were an anime. Pretty obvious that they aren't from this Earth.
Germany: Yes.
Canada: Eh?! Ah… okay?
Aleron: I pretty much already backed off… to an extent anyway…
Fk306: You're welcome, glad you are enjoying the story thus far.
LeaderOfDarkness: Allo again. I learned something today How to say some stuff in Spanish and something about Mexico, Steve's evolved form is Stewert (is Steve like Eevee? I wonder...) Oh! And total touching momenta T T But I guess I am like Italy in a sense, but I still feel really sorry for him. Poor Halia, too... I hope she gets better quickly Cause I know how it feels to move any part of your body that has been hurt -had a huuuge ass splinter in her foot when she was younger- It hurt sooooo much... (LOLTHAT'SWHATSHESAIDXD) And I'm not ahead xD I haven't watched HetaOni in forever. I've been on dA, watching Pewdie, and a lot of other stuff (Ask. Nyet.)
Fk306: Whoo~ Brofist, when I'm not working on the chapter, I'm watching Pewdiepie! Also I once hurt my foot walking to school so I'm imagining the pain I felt is similar to what Halia is feeling.
SmileRen: Awesome chapter _
Fk306: Thanks!
Ivy-child: Missouri
Fk306: Neat!
Water-Iris-Hetalia: Awesome story seriously, the letter was always one of my favorite parts of the videos along with Romano and spain showing up.
Huh, It didn't even cross my mine that Halia speaks spanish.
Anyway I don't know many sterotypes unless you want to hear the whole minnesotian accent sterotype.
anyway great chapter!
Fk306: The letter is really touching but my favorite part, that makes me really want to cry, hasn't happened yet. Halia is from the southern part of texas and ninety five percent of the city she lives in speaks Spanish.
silver neko baka: T_T Italy's letter always makes me cry!
Fk306: Yes, it's very touching. –sniff-
