A/N: Yay, so, chapter seven!
I don't own a thing.
To be cryptic in describing this chapter...
This chapter begins with an end.
An end to what? You'll see.
But it has something to do with Gilbert...
Enjoy!
It was the end.
The end of oblivion.
Oblivion of what?
Gilbert's oblivion of how much he really cared for Miranda dispersed as soon as he saw her pale body being laid on the bed.
He loved her.
Well, maybe more of an awesome crush, but he never really threw the idea of love out the window.
Maybe...it will help all of them.
Well, until Sunday.
Sunday.
For some, a time when they go to church.
But for the unlucky fourteen, some who were sitting, some who were lying down, in the hospital, it was a day filled with fear and...new found hope?
For Miranda had jolted in her coma and a scar in the shape of a maple leaf was slowly etched onto the right side of her forehead.
Something was happening.
Fortunately, a boy with a scar on his forehead knew what it was.
He had just brought his girlfriend Hermione Granger (A/N: Harmony 3!) into the hospital as she was sick when he saw the scar etched onto Miranda's head.
Alfred stood up, and noticed the boy.
"Hey, Harry! You look like you know what's happening! Help us out? Not that a hero needs help. But all heroes have good sidekicks!" he called.
Harry Potter walked over to Miranda and placed his hand on her forehead, gently rubbing the maple leaf shaped scar thoughtfully.
"This is a different magic from all the others," he said to the stunned group of seven. "But I know the spell. It's a bonding spell."
"To what?" called out Gilbert.
"Somehow, it seems...Miranda was it, is bonded to the country of Canada." said Harry.
"WHAT?"
(A/N: Haha, sorry, couldn't help it! I was like 'must find way to connect country and person' and voila! Enjoy the rest!)
Miranda nodded warmly.
Everyone clapped. She was the first to get it.
And there was a cloud floating towards her. It was in the shape of the Canadian flag.
She looked down and took the cloud in her arms.
As soon as she touched it, the clouds dissolved into her, and she shut her eyes softly.
When she opened them again, everyone smiled.
"Welcome back to the normal world, Canada." Alice said, and waved her goodbye.
Miranda passed out.
Miranda sat up, almost making Alfred fly off the bed.
"Miranda!" he said.
Miranda looked up, and her eyes made everyone take a step backward.
Her eyes...were oddly coloured.
Oddly as in red and white.
Her left eye was red, and the right eye was white.
And the maple leaf scar was now a soft shade of red.
"Where am I?" she asked.
"You're in the hospital." said Harry.
"The hospital? Is...is it because I passed out?" asked Miranda softly.
Alice jolted, and a scar the shape of a teacup began to etch out on her forehead.
"England..?" asked Miranda softly.
Alice opened her eyes. One was blue, and the other was red.
The teacup was a faint blue.
"Oh, I'm awake then. Hello, Canada. Or Miranda. Whichever applies." said Alice.
Lovina had a tomato etched onto her forehead and Antonio let out a hardly concealed squeal.
When she woke up, her eyes were green and red. In that order.
The tomato was glowing red softly.
Miranda and Alice called her Romana.
Feliciana had a plate of pasta etched, and when she woke up, her eyes were red and green. Once again, in that order.
The pasta was glowing green.
Lovina called her Veneziana, but the others called her Italy.
Victoria had a sword etched, and her eyes were yellow and green. Her scar glowed white.
Everyone called her Lithuania.
Yin had a panda etched. She woke up with red and yellow eyes. The panda glowed black and white, the colours of a normal panda.
Everyone called her China.
Athena had a cross etched onto her forehead.
She woke up with light blue and white eyes and the scar glowed light blue.
Everyone called her Greece.
As the boys were watching their friends wake up, they were really, really confused.
"Would any of you girls like to explain why this is happening?" asked Kiku tentatively.
The girls laughed.
"I'll do it!" said Athena.
(A/N: Flashback mode!)
They were in the haze.
It was dark, as it normally was. Then there were these flags.
Bright, colourful flags. The flags were small, and they were on a bracelet.
They put them on. Accessories are accessories.
Then they noticed which flag they had on.
For example, Athena's was Greece.
There was a flash of red light, and Miranda passed out from it.
When she woke up, they decided to watch the boys try to figure out what had happened.
And in came Harry.
He told the boys what Miranda was bonded to and we finally understood the power of the bracelets on our hands.
And then came the clouds.
"The clouds? What clouds?" asked Antonio.
"There were these beautiful clouds, in the same shape and colour as our respective flag." sighed Alice.
Alfred couldn't believe this.
"This is impossible!" he exclaimed, standing up.
"Actually, you'll find it quite probable once you experience it yourself." said Alice matter-of-factly.
"O-Ourselves?" the boys said in perfect harmony.
"Yourselves. Which I'm pretty sure you will." yawned Athena.
"Why do you always sleep, Greece?" shouted Lovina.
"Aren't you sleepy?" asked Athena.
"No! Why would I be? Besides, the pain of my fingernails against my skin keeps me awake! You should try it!" said Lovina.
"Lovi~don't hurt yourself..." cut in Antonio.
"Why would you care?" asked Lovina angrily.
Antonio sighed.
"Querido, mi Lovinita...how couldn't I care?" asked Antonio.
(A/N: Querido means dear and if you don't know what 'mi' means, you are a very sad APH fan.)
Lovina's green and red eyes softened slightly, but only very slightly.
"Hmph. You're such an idiota, Spagna." she said.
(A/N: Idiota should be obvious. Spagna...if you don't know what that means...sad.)
Antonio smiled.
Well, at least she was better than before.
A/N: End of chapter.
