For She is the Sun
America glared as he heard his brother teased him, "Jerk, he doesn't even know what its like."
He looked around and saw that he had made his way to the back of the house in a beautiful garden was well kept. As he looked up at the building he saw that some rooms had balconies and along the walls were vines and flowers growing. Suddenly a noise caught his attention as he looked up and saw a figure walk out onto the terrace of the balcony.
He stared in awe in the figure above him, it was her, the girl in which had stolen his heart. Whose name made him blush, Mexico.
"Wow," Said America as he gazed at her beauty "Not even the sun can shine bright as her, she even puts the glow of the moon to shame, the moon should be jealous by the way she shines. Its the girls of my dreams, my love! Is she speaking? Her lips seem to move but I'm not hearing anything... if only she would speak to me and not the stars. Even her eyes shine brighter than the stars if only I could gaze into them again."
He then heard her sigh, "She's sighing but why? Please say something."
Mexico sighed as she looked out into the starry night sky from the terrace of her balcony.
"Oh America...why do you have to be 'America'? Why can you forget your father and ignore your name? But if you don't just swear you'll be my love and I'll forget my name."
America stared up at her as he listened to her plead, 'should I keep listening? Or should I actually say something?'
"Its only your name which is the enemy" Said Mexico as she leaned onto the rail "You can still be yourself but not a Brit. Besides what is a Brit? Its not like its a hand or a foot. Oh why can't you have some other name? What is a name anyway? Even if we were to call a rose another name it would still smell as sweet. Oh America, stop being America and if you do I'll give myself to you."
It was in that moment she heard a shout "I'll take you by your word! If you wish to call me Love then so be it! It'll be like being born again! And from then I'll never be America again!"
Mexico gave a small shriek as she backed away from the railing, only to hurry back looking down at the gardens below, "Who are you!? Who do you think you are listening in on me!?" Shouted Mexico.
"My name I know not how to tell you my dear because I hate it as well since its such an enemy to you. If my name were written on a paper I would tear it!" Shouted America, who was against the wall hiding from her view.
"I've only heard your voice for a minute yet I know who you are. You're America and a Brit right?" Asked Mexico as she kept looking around for the boy.
America walked out into view and spoke up to her "I'll be neither one if it upsets you."
"How did you find this place? How did you even manage to climb the walls?" Asked Mexico.
America smiled as he answered, "I flew over."
Mexico smiled back amused by his answer before she quickly looked around and turned serious, "I hope you realize that being here is dangerous for you. They can kill you if they saw you here!"
"I'll withstand any of their hits if you only let me gaze upon your beautiful face, then I will be safe."
She smiled at his sweet words, "I hope that they never find you here."
"Don't worry, its dark out they won't be able to see me on such a dark night. But if you don't really like me then you can let them find me. I rather be dead then not have your love."
Mexico nodded but then asked, "Hey, how did you even find my room?"
America smiled again "Love brought me here. I let him lead me here to you."
"If it wasn't so dark out you'd be able to see just how hard I'm blushing. I'm embarrassed that you heard me talking but I want to know, do you really love me? I know you'll say yes and I'll take your word for it. But if you truly do love me say it faithfully so I know your serious, but if you think I'm to easily won over then I'll play hard to get so you can flirt with me. Know this though, I'll forever be faithful to you."
"My love I'll swear by the beautiful moon that I-"
"Oh please," Interrupted Mexico, "Please don't swear by the moon as beautiful as it is, its always changing."
"What should I swear by then?" Asked America slightly confused.
"Don't, just don't swear." Answered Mexico, "Look its late and as much I love you being here I don't want to rush into things. Its all so sudden and unplanned!"
"Will you leave me so alone like this? With nothing to show for it?"
"Well, what do you want?"
"A promise of your love for mine."
"Oh America, you already had mine before you even asked." Said Mexico as she smiled lovingly down at him. Before he could respond they heard a voice call from inside Mexico's room.
"Mexico?"
"Oh no, its my sister." Said Mexico turning to look back at her room before looking back at America. "Goodnight my love." With that said she hurried inside.
America sighed as he was left alone but soon looked up when he heard a noise, it was his dear Mexico again!
"I only have three words for you my dear Brit. If your love is true, then let it be marriage. Send me word tomorrow by one o'clock to let me know of when and where and what time."
"Mexico!" Whined Rica from inside the room.
"Hold on!" Shouted Mexico to her sister before looking back at America, "But if you don't wish to, then, please I beg you-"
"Mexico! Come on!"
"Wait a minute!" Screamed Mexico back to the room, "Then tell me now but if you are serious then I will send you word tomorrow."
"Great!" Said America.
"Yes but really I have to go. Good night."
"Good night." Said America as he made his way to leave.
Mexico hesitated before calling out "Wait!"
America quickly turned to face her, "What?"
"When should I try to find you tomorrow?"
"Good question! How about nine?"
"Alright." Mexico smiled as she gazed down at him, "It looks like I've forgotten why I called you back."
"Then I'll wait here till you remember it."
"Then I'll never remember it so I can have you stay there forever."
"And I'll gladly stay here."
"Oh America, you're such a sweet heart but we should really head to bed. So for the final time, goodnight." Said Mexico, blowing a kiss down to him.
"Good night my love! Sleep well and dream of sweet dreams." Said America as he caught her kiss and held it close to his chest next to his heart. He smiled till he saw her walk back into her room before leaving.
Mexico sighed happily as she walked into her room and flopped down onto her bed, making Rica bounce a bit as she sat on the other side.
"What's got you so happy?" Asked Rica as she looked over a magazine.
"Oh nothing, just thinking." Replied Mexico as she stared up at the ceiling with a dazed smile.
Rica gave a sly grin, "Thinking of someone, maybe Brazil?" She asked.
"Who? Oh! Brazil, uh, no not really." Replied Mexico as she sat up.
"No? Then who?" Asked Rica curiously, setting down her magazine to look at her sister.
"Someone I met at the party. He was really handsome."
"Wow he must be for you to be daydreaming of him."
"He is believe me" Said Mexico yawning, "Hey I'm really tired, I had a long day I'm going to bed okay?"
"Alright, but tomorrow I want details!" Said Rica as she hopped off Mexico's bed and left.
Mexico smiled as she got ready for bed, tomorrow she would know whether she would marry the love of her life.
