Zetta short chapter, I know. And that does count as a ref. (doesanyoneevenlikethisfic?) Never mind that. Anyways, same note goes as always with the suggestions. So now that that's said, let's get started on the adventure, da?

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, hectopascals.

"ChronoKnight Industries?" I repeated.

"Ya mean that company that specializes in clocks and dials and compasses and all that kinda stuff?" (a/n:...THEY BROKE MY WATCH!)

"Yes."

"So. Training. How are we supposed to be trained in the art of time traveling?"

"You must learn how to use the Timepiece somehow, Mariah." Aaand she's rolling her eyes.

"If you could, could we please begin?" I ask, wanting to get our tutorial over with. I mean like, who likes tutorials?

"Of course. Now, Mariah, if you don't mind, plase hold out the Timepiece."

"Tell me your name first, dragon lady." I gave her a whack on the head with my stick...BRAIN. GUTTER. OUT. NOW.

"Owwwww..." Mariah said, rubbing her head. The dragon let out a small chuckle.

"It's quite alright, Gupta," Why does she call us by our human names? "My name is Akazia. Now, Mariah, hold the Timepiece in front of you." Mariah did as she was told this time.

"Now, Gupta, the Timpiece can only function if both of you are present. Mariah, having uncovered the Timepiece, has now become the holder of it. It is to remain with her, for it will not be held by any other than the two of you. Now, it will only actually work through magic abilities, such as those of you, England, Norway, and Romania. Those three are the only other ones who could also have been compatible with the Timepiece. However, the Timepiece chose you two. Now, Egypt," My country name now? Okay then..."send a stream of magic through the Timepiece to activate it." I did so, and 7 rings projected out and around us. There were two border rings(the outermost and innermost) and the other 5 were dials. "Very good. If either of you two leave the space of the Dials, the Timepiece will withdraw them. Now, Egypt, set the dials for October 31st, 2011 at 10:00 am." Last Halloween? Fine. "And say, America." Okaaay.

"America." I say once the dials have been set. The space of the rings glows and we vanish in a burst of aqua colored light. When the light was gone, I opened my eyes to see that Mariah and I were in Washington D.C, next to the Capitol Building. Why we were here was beyond me.

"...and that is how you work the Timepiece. Well done. You are both now outfitted with small headsets," I look over and see that on Mariah's left ear is now a small, bluetooth like headset, "In other time periods, this headset will shapeshift into something more suitable for the period, most likely a pair of earrings. I am your ally. I will be assissting you both in your mission against ChronoKnight. Now, I will give you the coordinates for your first destination. ChronoKnight's device is incapable of time selection, but instead rides 'currents' of time. It is all still very random however. You shall tail them, discover their reasoning, and recover the crown. Currently, the currents have brought them to December 14, 1773, 12:00pm, in Boston, Massachusetts. If you need to reach me, send a flow of magic through your earpiece. Good luck."

"Thank you, Akazia." I say.

"You are welcome, Egypt." I nod as the earpiece clicks off.

"Mariah, we have a destination."

"Yeah, I heard her too." She says, and holds out the Timepiece. I activate it, setting the date and time.

"Boston, Massachusetts, America." I say, and we begin our journey.
