A/N: *sigh* Having friends like mine is hard… as Russia said "They're so weird…so weird…so weird…"
Chapter 3- Where'd You Come From? (pt.1)
After last chapter's events
Dom and Zoe ran as fast as they could, panting and giggling at the same time, they still couldn't believe they did that! They had only talked about doing that if they met the Hetalia characters at lunch, but they had no clue that they'd actually do it! Finally, the two teenage girls found themselves in the girls' bathroom, where they stopped to catch their breath, thinking that there was no way that the four nations would enter that room. Boy, were they wrong. While the two girls had their backs to the door, not breathing as hard, but still giggling, America stuck his head in the door to make sure they weren't looking, then signaled to the others to come inside. They all snuck in with enough stealth to make you think that they were secret spies. The girls were totally oblivious until, with surprised yelps, they were knocked and pinned down by America and China (weird to be pinned down by the country you're supposed to be, isn't it?). Struggling, the two girls looked up to see Germany and Britain towering above them, arms crossed and furious looks on their faces.
"You're gonna pay for what you said to Italy." Germany said.
"And I do not have crooked teeth, thank you very much." Britain said.
"Help! Help! Child Abuse!" Dom shouted, only to have America put his hand over her mouth.
"Ey man, calm the fuck down! It ain't that serious, I mean, it was just a song!" Zoe shouted.
"Yeah, a very offensive song!" China said, giving Zoe a harsh shake. Dom looked over in the direction of the Chinese nation and her friend through the corner of her eye. She then squeezed her eyes shut and did something she didn't want to do, but had no choice but to do. 'God, let this work' Dom thought as she started licking America's palm.
"Anyway, so are we gonna beat the crap out of these gir-aaaaahaaaah!" America breathed as he felt the slimy sensation on the palm of his hand, thus causing him to snatch it away from Dom's mouth.
"What's wrong with you, America?" Britain asked.
"That girl just licked my hand!" America shouted.
"Cause it had no business being on my mouth!" Dom shouted.
"Okay, you know what? That's it! I don't care if you guys join in or not, I'm beating the crap out of this chick!" America shouted while he turned the struggling girl onto her back. Throwing a fist at her face, he stopped midway when he heard, "Dominique! Dominique!" coming from outside. After that they heard "Zoe! Ashley!" coming from in the hallway, too. Looking at one another, America and China got off the two girls while Britain and Germany walked outside to see what that was. The four nations got outside the bathroom to see the rest of the UCH outside the door, staring at four big blotches that looked like huge puddles on the wall. Each blotch had an image on it. Each image was what the countries assumed was each kid's home. Dom and Zoe rushed pass the four nations to see the blotches on the wall. Their eyes widened at the sight.
"Home!" Dom shouted excitedly, then she noticed the rest of the UCH standing there.
"Wait, weren't you guys supposed to be back at the meeting room?" Dom asked.
"Yeah, but we followed you guys to make sure they didn't beat you too badly." Angel said.
"Well, what about so they wouldn't beat us up at all?" Zoe asked.
"Nah, we figured we'd let you guys suffer." Angel said with an evil look on her face.
"I think I just fell in love." Britain said, causing the other three nations to give him a look that said 'seriously?'.
"Well, she said that we should let you suffer, and we're too lazy to help you out, soo…" Ashley trailed.
"Oh, you suck sooo much balls." Dom said.
"Aight yo, so, I'm finna go home, ya'll can do the same if you want, but I'm just lettin' ya'll know, we cool?" Victor asked.
"Yeah." Dom said, a nod coming from everyone else. Then, with a wave goodbye, Victor walked through the blotch that held his and Dom's home.
"Well, we should get going, I mean, we do need to get ready for this party today." Dom said.
"Wait, what party? Who's having a party?" America asked.
"Oh wait, I forgot to tell you didn't I?" Dom said.
"Tell us what?" Britain asked.
"Today's my birthday, I'm 14 years old. And today me and the people in this hallway are going to Build-A-Bear-Workshop to celebrate." Dom said.
"Oh…I was about to beat you up on your birthday?" America asked.
"Yep, and I hope you feel like crap for the rest of your life because of it." Dom said, and then turned to her friends.
"Has everyone said goodbye to your designated country, because you're most likely never going to see them again." She asked. Zoe turned to China and glared, "Bye, China, and you better be happy that you won't see me again, or else I'd kick your ass." She said.
"Yeah, I would have liked to see you try." China said with a smirk.
"Ok, that's it!" Zoe said, and lunged in China's direction, only to be held back by Gwen and Ashley.
"Let me at him! Let me at him!" Zoe shouted.
"Zoe!"Dom said sternly, "Calm down, he's not worth it!". Zoe stopped trying to break free from Gwen and Ashley, but then started pointing at China and kept the glare on her face while saying "You lucky, China! You lucky!" As she was dragged into the blotch with the image of her home on it by the two girls. After they left, their blotch disappeared.
Angel looked over at Britain and sang "Webos splash you sexy motha-"before turning and leaving while holding her hand up in the deuces sign, while she walked into her blotch. Her blotch then did the same as Zoe, Ashley, and Gwen's.
"It's official; I just met my future wife." Britain said.
"Pedophile status!" Dom sang, earning a glare and a 'Shut up!' from Britain.
"Well, I'm gone ya'll, I'll see you later, Dom. And tell Austria I said bye." Leah said, then she waved goodbye before turning and running through her blotch, causing it to disappear.
"Okay, see you at the party, Leah." Dom said, waving goodbye to her cousin.
"And I gotta go before my parents find out I was gone and murder me!" Kylie exclaimed.
"Then what are you waiting for, you better make like Michael Jackson and beat it!" Dom said.
"Thanks, and guys," Kylie said, turning to the four nations, "Tell Japan I said bye."
"Will do, now go!" America said.
"Okay, thanks again, bye!" Kylie said, then ran into her blotch, causing it to disappear.
"Well, now I guess I'm the only one left, so…" Dom said, then turned to the four nations and saluted. This earned a few raised eyebrows from the nations, but they nodded in return. Dom then smiled, waved and marched through her blotch, which then disappeared.
"I'm gonna miss them." America said, as he, Germany, Britain, and China started walking back to the meeting room.
"You just met them!" Britain exclaimed.
"This coming from the man who fell in love with one of them." Germany said.
"Shut up!" Britain said, blushing.
"Well, I'm just glad that that Zoe girl is gone, she had absolutely no manners." China said.
"Yeah right, China, you know you liked her." America said.
"Did not! She was extremely immature! And even if I did, it wouldn't matter now, we're not going to see them again." China said.
"Yeah, I guess you're probably right…" America said.
Oh, if only they knew that they would, in fact, see those girls (and that boy) again.
...
The Very Next Month…
'Ding-dong tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet! Ding-dong tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet!'
Sounds annoying, doesn't it? Yeah, well, Dom was used to that alarm sound since she had to wake up to it every Monday- Friday morning (except for on holidays /teacher institute days/ or one of the seasonal breaks), and today was no exception. That annoying tone came on at 6:55 a.m to let Dom know that it was time to get up and drag herself through a long, boring day of school, where the only upside would be lunch because she could hang out with the members of the UCH. Although, today, the response to the annoying sound didn't come from her, but someone behind her.
"Mmm, turn it off." The person moaned. If Dom still had any hint of sleepiness, it sure as hell went away when she heard that. Her eyes shot wide open, and she shot into a sitting position. Looking at the spot next to her, she saw a short, curled (ish) piece of hair sticking out of the blanket. Lifting up the cover, Dom exhaled in relief to see that she still had her bra and panties on. Looking over at the person again, she knew she had seen that curl somewhere, she just couldn't remember where. She felt the same way about the person's voice. Slowly, she reached for the curl, only to have the person grab her hand before she could reach it.
"Don't touch that." The person said in a threateningly stern voice. Dom was taken aback by the reaction. The person then pulled the blanket from their face, and Dom found two big blue eyes glaring up at her, causing her dark brown ones to widen. Dom hopped out of her bed, collapsing in front of her dresser (her back against it), and just as she opened her mouth to scream, a hand was clasped over her mouth. The person had jumped out of the bed (as well) and put their hand over her mouth. It was then that she noticed who it was.
Looking behind her 'captor', Dom saw the image of the same person on the Hetalia wall scroll behind him, standing in the middle of the poster, with Britain and France on one side of him, and Russia and China on the other. Due to that wall scroll, she knew that the man with his hand over her mouth was the one and only, America. With this new knowledge, Dom's face dropped and she started licking his palm (sound familiar?). America gave a wince and a slight shudder, but kept his hand over her mouth.
"I'm not taking my hand off your mouth until you promise not to scream." He whispered.
With a muffled sigh, Dom nodded, and America removed his hand from her mouth, wiping it on his shirt.
"Anyway, what the hell are you doing here, and why were you in my bed?" Dom asked.
"I don't know, when I went to sleep last night I was in my own home, in my own room, and in my own bed." America said.
"I know how that feels." Dom said. Then, after getting a good look at him, Dom started snickering. America got a confused look.
"What's so funny?" He asked.
"Rubber ducky, you're the one. You make bath time, lots of fun. Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you." Dom sang. America looked down and cursed to himself. 'And the one night I decide to wear my favorite rubber ducky pajamas.' He thought to himself. Indeed, America was wearing light blue pajamas with bubbles and rubber ducks on them. Shaking her head, Dom stood up.
"I'm stupid; anyway, I'm gonna go take a shower and get ready for school. You can stay here and watch 'You and Me This Morning'." Dom said, grabbing her phone from the top of the fan and turning the fan off. After she walked out of her room (Shutting the door behind her, of course, wouldn't want anyone finding out about the man in her room…that sounded so wrong…), America just flopped down on the girl's bed and watched the show that was on the TV. So far, they were talking to a movie critic about what he thought about the different movies that just came out. After about fifteen minutes, Dom came back in the room. He looked over to say hi, but before he could say anything, all he saw was skin. Getting the face that Finn got on that one episode of Adventure Time (Marceline's Closet), America tried to look away, but only ended up doing a double take.
Feeling that someone else was in the room, Dom turned around only to see America turned away. Looking down at herself, she figured out why. With a small squeak, she covered herself with the towel.
"Sorry I forgot that you were there." She said , quickly grabbing some clothes from the basket.
"No, it's alright." America said, still turned away with a blush on his face.
"I'll go into the bathroom and change." Dom said, heading for the door.
"No, I don't want to kick you out of your own room or anything." America sighed, "I'll stay turned around, as long as you get dressed as quickly as you can."
"O-okay…" Dom said, sitting down at the foot of the bed and dressing as quickly as she could. After she was finished putting her shirt on (last piece of clothing), she looked at her phone. 7:22.
"I have to hurry, or I'll be late!" Dom exclaimed, startling America and causing him to turn and look at her, only to see her rushing out of the room. He followed her to see that she was slipping on her socks. Then she rushed back to her room and easily slid her snow boots on her feet. And, as America looked at the girl, he noticed the sweatband around her wrist with him on it. He also noticed the pin that was placed where the design ended on her shirt, and how her hoodie was pulled aside to show it. On it, it read:
"I *insert heart here* Hetalia: Axis Powers
I'm America!"
Written in blue and red marker.
"Nice button." America said.
"Huh, oh, thanks. So, now to figure out what to do with you. I mean, I can't just leave you locked up in my room for 6 hours and 35 minutes, especially not with your appetite." Dom said, earning a growl from America, but ignoring it. "But I can't have you running about the house like you live here, or else I'll see police cars when I get home. So what to do…"
"Ummm, how about you take me with you?" America suggested.
"No that, wouldn't work, they say it's supposed to be some pretty bad snow today, and I don't want you getting caught up in that…" Dom said, then looked at the time and sighed.
"You know what, as long as you can't be seen, you can't be caught, so stay on guard. If you feel like someone' s going to come through the bedroom door, hide somewhere in that closet over there, there's a whole bunch of crap on the floor in there, and it's missing a door, but it's the best that we can do for now."
"And what about if I go to the bathroom?" America asked.
"Make it as quick as possible. Victor normally wakes up at whatever time, so stay on your guard for him, but don't really worry too much. If he catches you, tell him that I said to keep you a secret and I'll take out the garbage for him for a month, which should hold him down. If it doesn't, tell him to ask me about you when I get home, and that I said not to call the cops, or tell mom. The real danger, though, is my mother. If she catches you, then it's game over, the time you should really start worrying about her, is around 10:00. And if she does catch you, tell her the same thing you would tell Victor, and try too keep her from involving the cops until I get home. The only thing you can do after that is hope that she listens. So… that should do it. I'll bring you a few things to snack on in here while I'm gone, just… be careful. Okay?" Dom said.
"That's a lot to go through, just for taking a leak."
"Yeah, I know. But my mom used to be a police dispatcher, and something tells me she wouldn't take too kindly to finding you here. So, anyway, do you have everything down?" Dom said.
"It's all a lot to process, but I think I have it down." America said, nodding.
"Okay, I'm gonna go get your snacks now, so stay put." Dom said, and left the room and headed for the kitchen. She came back with some bananas, an apple, and a bag of chips.
"Well, I gotta go, or the rest of the UCH, mainly Zoe, are gonna murder me, so be a good boy while I'm gone, okay?" Dom said, setting the snacks down on the bed and putting on her gloves and scarf.
"Yeah, have a good day at school." America said.
"Okay, Thanks, and America?" Dom said.
"Yeah?" America responded.
"Like I said, be careful." Dom said, with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Now go, before you get murderd by China." America reassured her with a smile.
"Kay, bye!" Dom said, rushing out the door and closing it behind her.
With a sigh, America flopped back down on Dom's bed, opened the bag of chips, and continued watching TV. Hoping that he could get through the day without getting caught.
…
Dom's day at school was quite fun, between re-learning to graph stuff in Pre-Algebra, watching 'Osmosis Jones' in Science, and doing a little persuasive activity in Language Arts (not to mention socializing with the UCH at Lunch), the day went pretty great. As a matter of fact, the only really bad part about this Friday afternoon was when they had to hold the kids in school after the bell due to the weather, which really had Dom worrying about America. But a later call to her mom made it seem like he hadn't been found out yet, which was good…for now…
…
Dom got home with her favorite song blasting in her ears from her mp3, not noticing her mom standing at the top of the stairs until she was done knocking the snow off her boots. She had looked up the stairs to see her mom standing there looking at her, with crossed arms and a tapping foot.
"Dominique, do you mind explaining this?" Dom's mom asked, walking over to the living room, and dragging a nervous America back with her.
"She caught me right after your call…" America said, rubbing the back of his head nervously. Dom could only look at her mom with a nervous smile.
"Mom, meet Alfred, or, as he's also known, America. He's…" Dom said, then thought 'You know what? Fuck it, I'm gonna say this and see where it gets me. God, please, let this work!'. "My boyfriend..."
…
And that's the end of this chapter! The next chapter will be about,* drum roll*…. Gwen and Canada!
So, until then, farewell and goodbye! :)
