Chapter Two:

*Nicole's POV*

I shuffled into the taxi following Em and Japan. Aparently, we were still in America, so we would have to stay in a hotel tonight before going to stay with Japan.

We're in Hetalia. Cal's words rang in my head, over and over. I didn't really watch the show, just one or two episodes to humor Cal's strange obsession with anime. It was fun to draw them, though. Wait….doesn't that mean they should look like anime characters? I glanced at Japan. He seemed pretty unanimated… maybe this world is messing with my eyesight. Japan was talking to the taxi driver. I wasn't really listening. Something about a hotel, New York? I've never been there before. I feel really tired… Must stay awake until I get to the hotel. Must stay aw- I yawned. This is gonna be hard without caffeine.

I thought about what I little I knew about Hetalia. They're personifications of countries. My favorite being Belarus. I smiled as I remember telling Cal. Her face. Priceless. I knew she was insane with the whole 'must marry big brother thing' but hey, she was badass. They had a small percentage of female countries….What else? Damn it, I'm starting to wish I listened to Cal's rants. Weren't they all gay or something? This is so Ky and Cal's thing, not mine.

Em was waving her hands in my face.

"What?" I asked after slapping away her hands.

"Weren't you paying attention to a word I just said?"

"No." She sighed. The taxi stopped and we got out Japan paying.

"We are going to call Japan Kiku, stay at the hotel tonight, leave for Japan tomorrow. When we get there we shall go shopping-" I groaned in protest. "Do you plan on wearing that the whole time?" I looked down at my soccer shorts and t-shirt.

"FIIIIINE."

"Girrs." Japan said, trying to get our attention. We turned to look at him. "Are you two okay with sharing a room tonight? I can get more rooms if you rike."

"We're fine. You don't have to get anything extra for us." Em said.

"Okay then."

The hotel room, was, well, a normal hotel room. You know the type; TV on the wall, two queen beds, with a fridge in the corner, a small bathroom near the entrance, and a connecting door to what I assumed was Japan's room.

"My room connects to your room. Here are the keys to your room. Carr if you need anything." He said and left to his room.

"We have his number?" I asked once he left.

"He gave it to me when you were spacing out. Here." she handed me her phone to copy it down.

"So now what do we do?"

"We have a TV. We could compare and contrast what's happening in the two different worlds."

"But we live in California. We don't exactly know what's happening in New York, no matter what world." I pointed out.

"Well, we can just compare the California from our world and this one."she said waving her phone. "And we still have internet." I plopped down on a bed.

"I'm gonna pass out soon actually."

"M'kay, night." I set an alarm on my phone for seven, and then let sleep overtake me.

"What are you?" Who said that? I realized that voice was mine. My eyes were shut. Why?

"You don't need to know. Just tell me where the others are."

"No!" I began to struggle, trying to kick, punch, move, anything. I'm in chains, I realized.

Whack! Pain. Whack! Pain.

"Do you feel inclined to tell us now?" Us..plural, who else is there?

"NO!" I screamed.

Whack! Whack! Whack! Pain seared into my back.

"You gotta wake up! Nicole! Wake the hell up!" I was shook awake by a very nervous Em.

"What?!" I practically growled at her.

"You were screaming in your sleep." I blinked in surprise. I've never screamed before in my nightmares. Then I noticed Japan in the room. He looked very concerned.

"Well at least we know it's not a dream."

Her expression looked like I just said TO NARNIA! and hopped into a closet.

"I've never gotten nightmares in a dream."

"Oh."

"Sorry for disturbing you guys, I will try to sleep more peacefully from here on out." I gave a mock salute to try and lighten the mood.

"Night."

*Adam's POV*

I have seen some episodes of Hetalia, but I'm not as much as a Hetalia nerd as Cal and Ky. Sure, I've seen a few episodes here and there, but… still not quite the same as being 'In the fandom' like they are. The blonde guy that volunteered to host us was America, if my facts were right. The dude that England raised. He seems cool enough.

"So you guys are gonna share a hotel room, that all cool?" America said.

"Wait, we aren't just going straight to your house?" Andrew asked.

"No, my flat's too small for three and it's too late to fly to one of my bigger places."

"As long as there's separate beds, I guess I'm good with it. There's no way in hell that's I'd share a bed with Andrew, no offense man." I said.

"None taken."

"Everything's settled then! By the way, my name's Alfred. The grouch with the giant eyebrows earlier is Iggy."
"But earlier he said his name was Arthur." Andrew said.

"Iggy's his nickname. He doesn't mind it." America said.

The hotel America picked out was a four star one, and the room he set us up in was real snazzy. There was a legit minibar in one corner (there's alcohol, water, candy, is that a box of Alaskan fudge?),a 54 inch flat screen TV (there was an Xbox and games oh my god), two queen sized beds that felt softer than clouds, and the room was medium sized.

"If you guys need anything, the connecting door to my room is over here," America said, gesturing to a door next to the minibar. Wait, so he can just walk into our room whenever? That's a little…...creepy. "See ya guys in the morning!" America said before walking out the door.

Andrew floated over to the Xbox and picked up a game case.

"Dude, look at what the hotel has!" Andrew lifted the case. It was freaking Destiny.

"Put it in, I want to play after this batshit crazy day." I said, and Andrew slid the disk in. We played the game well past midnight, and an hour later we crashed in the beds.

*T.J.'s POV*

I glanced at Sweden. Then at me. Damn he's tall. I wonder if I'll ever be that intimidating. I tried to imagine myself intimidating Ky. I ended up with a broken arm.

Probably, not a good idea. Maybe...Cal? That ended up in bleeding eardrums.

Yeah, I don't think I could ever scare a fly. I sighed.

A choking noise erupted from Denmark. He was choking, because his tie was choking him, because….Norway was pulling it.

"Don't mind them. They haven't killed each other yet." Finland said. I guess this is normal? I glanced at Iceland who seemed to be the most normal out of them. This is so AWESOME! I looked back at Sweden. I'M IN FREAKING HETALIA! I never want to leave! Well, once to get my cats and tell my mom I'm to Hetalia and ain't coming back.

"Call me big brother." What?

"No"

"Big Brother." I glanced over to Iceland and Norway.

"Never."

"Shut up and quit procrastinating. Big Brother, say it." Norway said. So they're brothers?

"NO." Iceland huffed and walked over to Finland.

"Big Brother." Norway whispered.

"Go away."

"Call me big brother."

"When Mr. Puffin lets people call him a penguin."

"Say it."

"I won't!" I listened, wondering why Iceland wouldn't call Norway his brother. I mean, if you call the guy big brother, he'll leave you alone.

"Guys, break it up. We have a guest, remember?" Finland said, interrupting Norway and Iceland. That reminded me.

"Where are we going to stay?" I asked. Denmark managed to get Norway's hand off his tie.

"At our house, duh!"

"How're we going to get there?"

"Same way we got here. By my sleigh!" Finland pointed at the red sleigh parked behind America's meeting place. Nine reindeer, of all the animals, were harnessed to it. The one in the front had…...a glowing nose?

"Is that Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?"

"It's Randolph, but yep! It's because I'm Santa!"

"Who's Mrs. Claus?" Everyone turned heads at Sweden except Finland who blushed.

"No-no One! No one! Santa is single!" I grinned so much right then my face hurt. SuFin is real huh? This is gonna be an interesting stay.

"Is it safe?" Sam asked.

"Of course!"

"Will it fit everyone?" Silence. "Do we have to sit on your laps to get there?" Silence.

"We do don't we?" I asked.

"It can fit five. So yes, you will have to sit on our laps." Norway said after a little while. GAYYYNESSS! my thoughts screamed. Though I may have said that out loud cause everyone was laughing.

"You said that outloud too." Denmark informed me.

"Crap."

*Kyler's POV*

After the meeting, all the nations left. America kept taunting England about his eyebrows. I guess that never stops. Once everyone was gone, including Sealand (it took several 'Jerk' sentences), England told Cal and I told wait outside some door in the World Summit Place. He locked it, and a few seconds later, something possibly exploded in there, and something also possibly died in there. He let us in after he was done doing God-knows-what in there.

Inside was a glowing tetragrammaton of all things.

"Are you trying to summon something demonic?" I asked.

"No! Of course not! Why would I be trying to - Wait, why are you even asking that?"

"There is a pentagram on the floor, and it's glowing. And I know about the time you tried to summon a demon." England sighed.

"It's a portal, not a summoning pentagram. Step on it, and it'll teleport us back to my place." I shrugged, and jumped onto the thing. It pulsed under my feet, irritated as if it could have emotions. Cal stepped onto it after me, and England stepped on, did his magic and it stopped glowing. Now instead of a dusty room, it was a cellar, presumably in England's house.

"Alrighty, we're at my house now. If you go up the stairs, you'll be in the kitchen. Go past the suit of armor, and up the left set of stairs, and you two can pick a room. Or you can just share one, whichever you prefer. If you need anything I'll be down here." I nodded, and started to exit the room. "Oh, one more thing. Don't open the black door. It has some…..unsavory beings in there."

"What, like actual demons?"

"Never mind that. Just don't open it. I put a spell on your rooms so anything you want will appear in front of you."

"Sweet!" Cal said fistpumping and ran up the stairs. "I get first dibs on picking out a room!" she yelled from behind her.

"Oh no you don't!" I yelled as I ran after her.

*England's POV*

It has been a while since I've had anyone over. I've never had America's humans over, especially not girls. I believe they decided who was sleeping where because it was quiet. Well, besides loud music that was coming from one of their speakers, I should talk to them about turning it down a little bit. During dinner though , I'll let them have their fun, for now. Speaking of which they could probably eat a lot, if they're anything like America, so I'd better cook a lot. I shrugged and began the task of cooking

"Girls! Dinner's Ready!" I said. I wonder if they can hear me over their music. I started walking towards their rooms. I knocked on the one labeled Ky's, the loud music coming from next door. I was starting to give me a headache now that I was closer to the noise. The door opened revealing Ky with earbuds in. She pulled them out, and I could hear the music leaking out of them from the doorway. How is she not deaf with music that loud?

"Dinners ready." I said she simply nodded and glanced at Cal's room.

"Want me to get her?"

"No, I've got it. Wait here." I said remembering I haven't shown them where the dining room is. I turned around and I could feel her follow. Okay then... I knocked on the door. After a minute I opened it to see the Cal has definitely made herself comfortable in her room. Clothes were in the closet, a set of drawers next to the door with the speaker set on them blasting loud music, bookshelf filled with books across from her bed, and the girl herself was dancing and singing along to the music. Probably didn't even notice us yet.

"Show me how to lie

You're getting better all the time

And turning all against the one

Is an art that's hard to teach

Another clever word

Sets off an unsuspecting herd

And as you step back into line

A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance

Man, he never had a chance

And no one even knew

It was really only you

And now you steal away

Take him out today

Nice work you did

You're gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies

And a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes

Hit 'em right between the eyes" she did a fake punch for the first 'Hit 'em' and on the second she turned and punched barely missing my face. She looked so surprised to see me there. She jumped and turned down the music.

"Sorry." She was still out of breath from dancing. She started turning a little red. "How much did you see?"

"Enough." Ky was cracking up the whole time.

"Anyway what did you need me for?"

"Dinners ready."

The song was "You're Gonna Go Far Kid" by The Offspring

We don't own the song or Hetalia.

Don't forget to review and favorite!
