Hey~ Lol, so sorry for not updating sooner, I just couldn't think of anything to write about for the next chapter _ But alas, after reading a few adventure stories, I thought 'why not' and decided to make this an adventure-y story. So this is just kind of a filler chapter, short and boring. And Flying Mint Bunny is back too. 8D Yeah, so look to the A/N at the end of this for some explanations~

And I just wanted to mention that the Prologue is rewritten and flows much better now, amazing what a few small changes can do.

Oh, and I'd like to give a big thanks to Fujoshi Anonim for reviewing, YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO LOVED~ =D

DISCLAIMER- If only I owned Hetalia, then my Spamano dreams would be fufilled at last, but alas I do not Dx

Chapter 3

"Engwand! You're back!" America beamed as he wrapped his small arms around my waist.

I smiled, it was nice having someone who actually cared about you. Someone to possibly call a friend. "Of course I am, lad."

America buried his face into my chest. Was he always this tall. . .?

"I was wondering when you'd come! It's lonely here all by myself. . ."

Lonely huh? "Well, we can't have that, now can we?" Looking down at my now not-so-small colony, I scooped him up into my arms and started carrying him outside.

"Engwand? Where are we going?"

"Somewhere special."

"Really? Like to the moon?"

"Er, no."

"Then where?"

"You'll see."

It was a fairly warm day, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. A gentle breeze tussled the my already messy hair as a few of the townspeople waved to me. The salty scent of the sea was getting stronger as I got closer to my ship.

"Engwand? Why does it smell so salty here?" The boy asked, his voiced muffled. Moving his head from the crook of my neck, he blinked a few times before looking around.

Suddenly, a small puppy bounded over to us, barking excitedly. Its white fur was slightly matted and its black spots looked like specks of dirt, but with its tongue hanging from its mouth and tail wagging, he was pretty cute if I say so myself. The puppy's eyes were shining as it gave a few more excited yips. America, fascinated by the small dog, jumped out of my arms and bent down to look at the puppy. The puppy, who also seemed fascinated by America, gave him a few curious sniffs before covering his face with affectionate licks. America giggled as its rough tongue swept across his face.

"Do you like him?" I asked after a few minutes, smiling warmly at the cuteness of it all.

"Yeah!" America replied, still giggling as the puppy's tongue tried to reach his face.

"That's good," I said, getting down on my knee to scratch the small dog behind its ear, "'Cause I got him just for you."

America's eyes widened as he gave me a disbelieving look. "Really?"

"Yes, you did say that you were getting lonely, right?"

"Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Enveloping me in a bone crushing hug, America beamed.

"England? England? England!"

Huh?

"Wake up! England!"

Who's that?

"England! America's about to go to France's house by himself!"

"WHAT?" My eyes shot open as I scrambled to get up.

Instead of seeing America though, I saw Flying Mint Bunny. "Where's America?" I asked, frantically looking around.

"How am I supposed to know? You're the one that left him. I just needed to find a way to wake you up," The flying green bunny stated as he fluttered about. "Anyways, I'm here to help you."

Oh, it was just a dream. . .

"Help me with what?" I snapped.

"Get back to normal of course."

"What? Doesn't the spell automatically wear off, though?" I asked, usually my spells don't have long-term affects.

Flying Mint Bunny sighed, "Yeah, but you really screwed up this time."

Way to make me feel better.

Licking my paw dejectedly, I mumbled a quiet, "What do you mean?"

The bunny landed next to me, sighing again as he did so. "What I mean is that you screwed up. Badly. I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that if you ever want to be human again, you'll have to find the portal connecting this world and your world."

"The portal? But I thought that they didn't exist, that they were just myths," I paused my grooming as Flying Mint Bunny talked.

"No, they're real. We magical beings just hide them from the humans, changing their location every few years so that they won't find them. But that's not the point. The point is that you have to find the portal in this world before it closes forever," The bunny looked up in the sky, the full moon was shining brightly.

I was getting irritated, why was he telling me all of this? "When will it close? And how will I even find it?"

Flying Mint Bunny looked me in the eyes, "You have about one month, until the next full moon. It's located in a cave high on the mountain behind you, and you'll need this to open it," he clipped a small silver cross onto my collar, "Good luck."

"W-Wait! What do you mean?" I exclaimed. It was too late, Flying Mint Bunny was gone, disappeared in a whirl of wind. Looking behind me, I see the mountain that Flying Mint Bunny was talking about. It's snow capped peaks stood out in the night sky as it towered above the surrounding forest.

Getting to my paws, I ran towards the forest, towards America.

I have to find America and the others before it's too late. . .

A/N- SO UNORIGINAL ;_; Oh well XD Who said I was original? Yep, so I decided to have everyone go on a cliche journey to find a magical-totally-not-original portal~ And also, the dog England gives America in his dream is an English Springer Spaniel, they were brought to the New World by the Pilgrims I believe and were around for the first Thanksgiving. If this is wrong, please correct me, I couldn't find a lot of dogs that were brought to the New World before they declared independence. Hm, first time writing kid!America and he's all OOC ;;

So, review please? =3 If you don't, England will never find America~
