Author's Note: Cecil and Ireland are the same person, and the names will be used interchangably.

Flashback

"You are a new country?" A strong voice asked. "Yes." Cecil, aka Ireland, said quietly. "Are you going to hurt me?" She asked softly. "No, but will you join me for a life on the seven seas, Young Child?" Pirate England asked. "Only if you promise me one thing." Cecil said quietly, frowning. "What is that?" Pirate England asked. "Don't leave me, don't hurt me, and rescue me when I need rescuing." Cecil said sternly. Pirate England looked at the young country and nodded. "But promise me that no matter what happens, you will return by my side." He said to Cecil, smiling.

"Alright, I'm Cecil De McEllroy." She added quietly. "I'm Captain Arthur Kirkland." Pirate England said, smiling. "Just call me...Ireland." Cecil told him, as Pirate England held out his hand for her to take. "Come with me." Pirate England said softly. Cecil nodded, took his hand, and followed him. She gasped loudly, She had never seen a vessel so large! "Do you wish to live with me here, Lady Cecil of Ireland?" Pirate England asked, bowing. "Yes Captain!" Cecil said, smiling.

They spent many months at sea, sailing to Spain. On the way, Pirate England taught Ireland many ways to fight the Spanish Armada. They finally met the Spanish Armada and Ireland was the first to spot the ships. "Captain! They're here!" Ireland told Pirate England."Prepare the crew!" Pirate England told Ireland. Ireland nodded and continued to prepare the crew for battle.

Finally, the battle had begun! After many casualities to both of the sides, tey were still fighting. 'Captain!" Ireland shrieked, seeing him on the ground and in pain. "Run Cecil! Save yourself!" Pirate England told her. "No! I promised that no matter what happens, I wouldn't leave you!" Cecil protested. "But Spain...He will come to finish me up. I at least wish that you stay alive and away from Spain." Pirate England whispered. "I won't let you die!" Cecil screamed, tears pouring down her pale face.

"Shhhh...Don't cry." Pirate England whispered, pulling her close to him. "Don't leave me." Ceil whispered, hiccuping as she tried to stop crying. She suddenly gasped, remembering an old recipe for a potion...rather a mixture of herbs really. "Don't leave!" Cecil said, fetching salt water, mint leaves, and seaweed. She mashed the herbs and mixed the salt water before getting rid of the salt. "Drink this, it may taste nasty." Cecil said quietly, before lifting Arthur's head for him to drink, which he did. "Better?" Cecil asked. She saw his eyes close slowly. "No!" She screamed.

Spain walked up behind Ireland and pulled out his sword. "You promised." Cecil whispered, talking to England. She felt Spain's breathe on the back of her neck, sending a chill down her spine. "Anylast words?" Spain asked, smirking. "Yeah...I will avenge his death~" Cecil screamed, pulling out her sword and swinging it towards Spain. Spain avoided her however, by jumping onto the Crow's Nest.

"Good luck little girl!" Spain shouted, cackling. "Mad that I killed poor little England? You should know that life on the seas are vicious." He teased cecil. "Especially for a weak person like England!" Spain spat. Ireland and Spain seemed to be the only ones left fighting, everyone else was either injured, dead, or had abandoned the fight. "Don't call him weak!" Ireland shouted, attacking spain.

Spain cut a rope off the sail and used it to swing over to his own ship. "You bloody coward!" Ireland shrieked, before walking back. The rest of the crew that was alive came out of hiding. "Good job, my lady." One of them said, before Ireland hit them and pinned them up to a wall, her hands around their throat. "You fool! You should be ashamed!" She hissed, before letting go and walking over to England, whom she though was dead.

She let out a small sob and laid her head on his chest, crying. Suddenly she gasped loudly. There was a heart beat! "The captain is alive!" She shrieked, ordering the crew to go get her some salt water and splash it on Pirate England, which instantly woke him up. "I'm so glad you were only unconcious!" Ireland said, hugging him and sobbing. "I promised not to leave, hurt, or abandon you." England said, weakly hugging her back.
