A/N: First chapter! No 2Ps quite yet, but they will appear soon (next chapter!). By the way, what's your favorite 2P, or which 2P would you like to be included ASAP? (For most of them I'll need to create their own unit manuals so the sooner you tell me the sooner they will be included!)
Enjoy~!
Chapter 1
The Dreaded Pop-up
I was waiting, wrapped up in my favorite red and white blanket, my honey brown eyes flickering between the window and the ticking clock to its right watching the seconds go by. I had only a few more precious minutes to myself before my family would arrive. My aunt, uncle, and little cousin were coming to visit today as Sally wanted to spend time with me, her "big sis". I've never considered myself as her sister, but I still respond when Sally calls me as such. Sally is by far the closest to me, but she instinctively knows there is a line she must never cross, which is why I allowed for the visit.
So there I sat, relaxing, cherishing the few minutes I had left to keep my mask off as soon I would have to put it back on and return to my façade. As I heard their car pull into the driveway, I closed my eyes, slightly too far apart and slightly too big, and put my mask back on. When I opened them again, I was back to "normal", the way I'm supposed to appear in front of everyone else. Now all I had to do was wait...
Squeak
"Don't you know how to knock Sally?" I got up and turned around to see a giggling girl with short wavy brown hair in the doorway wearing an adorable blue dress with white flowers along the bottom.
"If you wanted me to knock then you should have locked the door." She answered with a cheeky grin as she took her white sandals off and made her way towards me.
"Manners dictate that it's necessary to knock even when you know it's unlocked" I continued, putting my nose in the air impersonating our etiquette teacher.
"And since when have I ever had manners?" She tilted her head and spoke as if the thought was absurd.
"That etiquette class Jill signed us up for, that ring any bells?" I smiled, enjoying our banter. I'd missed it.
"Well-" Sally began before Jill shouted.
"SALLY MORGAN GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE!" I laughed at Sally's expression of absolute terror. Jill's anger is not something to be trifled with. She quickly ran over to me and gave me a quick hug, her way of saying hello.
"I'll be right back, probably just my bag, come say hi to mom and dad!" Sally yelled over her shoulder as she dashed outside to see what her mother wanted. I slowly followed her out the door.
Jill is my mother's sister and Jack is Jill's husband, their full names being Jillian and Jacque, but they prefer their nicknames.
As I walked outside I saw Sally carrying her favorite blue backpack with some fish design on it, Jill struggling with many bags of groceries, and Jack talking on the phone. I walked over to Jill as Jack was busy, likely with work-related issues, and Sally was preoccupied making sure she didn't forget anything.
"Morning Jill, hope the traffic wasn't too bad" I greeted politely. Jill turned around and gave me a true smile, one filled with pure happiness. The kind of smile I could no longer make.
"Don't worry 'bout that little ol' thing hon, we stopped by the market for ya and picked up some snacks I'm sure ya'll like." She replied with her southern accent. Over the years she's learned to speak without it as some of the people she works with find it hard to understand her, but around us she relaxes and slips back into her old way of speaking.
"I'm sure we will! I picked all of Fel's favorite snacks of course!" Sally commented as she joined the conversation.
"Knowing you, I'm sure you picked all of your favorite snacks." I replied with a smirk.
"Maybe, but we like the same things so I wasn't lying." Sally said with a smirk of her own.
"Simmer down girls, let's get ya settled Sally so your father and I can check in to the hotel." I went back inside to make sure that Sally's room was ready for her. I walked up the stairs taking two steps a time and opened the door on my immediate right. I was met with a simple yet pleasant room. The walls were recently painted light blue and the windows were outline in white to match the curtains. Sally's bed was a twin-sized bed with dark blue covers and fluffy turquoise pillows, however I had a sneaking suspicion that it would somehow end up completely trashed by the end of her visit.
I walked into the attached bathroom, making sure everything was in order. I glanced up at my reflection in the mirror, my wavy sandy brown hair that was always in tangles framed my round face, my honey brown eyes, slightly too far apart and slightly too big, met my gaze tinted with melancholy. I turned away and closed the door behind me and made my way back downstairs.
Jill was already putting groceries into the fridge and Jack was waiting in the car as they were running late to check in.
"We can do the rest of the groceries" I told her as I proceeded to put the eggs away, giving her one of my perfected yet fake smiles.
"Aw thank ya hon! Let me just tell Sally goodbye, and if she gives ya too much trouble just give me a call" Jill replied with a wink as she left to find Sally.
We were now in my room, Sally was on my computer and I was reading a book on my light purple bed. I glanced at the clock to my left, it read 9:00. To the left of the clock Sally was staring intently at the screen, a small grin on her face.
There's only one computer in the house because as I'm the only one living here I don't see the point in getting another one, which left Sally with only one option. I peeked over her shoulder to see what she was doing, and unsurprisingly found her watching some anime she found, something called Hetalia.
A few minutes later I finished my book and closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep listening to one of my favorite playlists.
I woke up to Sally shaking me, a nervous look on her face. I glared at her, barely managing to suppress my fury at being awoken from my slumber.
"Um, I may or may not have broken your computer." She whispered sheepishly.
"What?" I replied yawning, still half-asleep. "I'm sorry, I thought you just said you broke my computer." The look on her face was all the confirmation I needed. I jumped up and ran to the computer, and glared at my sister.
"You almost gave me a heart attack; it's just a pop up, click out of it." I growled, irritated at being awoken from my blissful sleep.
"I can't!" She shouted. "I can't figure out how to get rid of it! I even restarted the computer, but whenever I go back online the pop up appears!" I sighed. I took a look at the pop up, and something caught my eye.
"You have been chosen to be a Hetalia unit tester! You will get to experience and test our new Hetalia units completely free of charge, a limited time offer!"
Wasn't that what Sally was watching earlier? I thought to myself. Below had a button to continue, I clicked it. The next page had two buttons, confirm or cancel. I went to click cancel, when suddenly Sally snatched the mouse from me and clicked confirm.
…what?
"Sally!? What the hell!?" I roared, glaring daggers at her and ripping the mouse from her grasp. She just giggled as she always does when I yell at her, as if my anger was amusing.
"Hey, I'm curious and besides, you didn't submit any info so it's probably just a hoax" She calmly replied. The screen beeped and we were faced with another choice.
"1P or 2P" What does that even mean?
Before I could ask Sally went ahead and clicked 2P.
"Congrats, your order will arrive in the next few days!" Sally was smiling and giggling at the popup, but for some reason I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling I had, as if this would somehow end horribly wrong.
A/N: That's it for the first chapter, hope you liked it! Be sure to let me know which 2Ps you want to be included ASAP!
