*Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I had mid-term exams...which really aren't as bad as people say. :/ But I'm done now and I can continue! :D*

I sat at the table with my fingers laced on my lap. Okay. I found my mom. She doesn't care about me. I've still got boy troubles. Now what? I decided Kai was the way to go. He was my dad, after all. I stood up and sauntered to my room. If I went to the future again I would want to get out a little. I had to get as close to a modern outfit as I could. I shoved dresses aside one by one on the rack until I found a cute red one with a matching belt. I snatched it from the hanger and quickly put it on. I picked up my necklace from its spot under my pillow, where I had kept it since going to see my mom a few days ago.

"Alright, take me to my dad," I ordered. I began to fall through the images again. I'd gotten so used to it that I did a few backflips in the air and hummed a tune. Paulo was right, this was fun! But it would be the only thing he was right about. I touched down on the ground and found Kai reading a newspaper on the couch next to Fumo. I snuck up behind them to surprise them, but Fumo gave a flat "'sup" without even turning around.

"'Sup yourself," I replied. "Hey, Dad."

Kai whipped around and shot to his feet. "Ah! Bella! How are you?"

"Fine." I made my way around the furniture and sat next to him. Fumo put her cigarette into her mouth and drummed her fingers on the arm of the couch.

"You're becoming prettier every time I see you," Kai complemented. "Soon you won't be a

Fräulein anymore."

"Uh, what's a Fräulein?" I asked. "You know I'm not too much in touch with my German side yet…"

"A Fräulein is like 'Miss' in English," he explained. "An unmarried woman."

"He says you'll pick up a guy sometime soon," Fumo added.

"Oh, no," I laughed nervously, blushing. "I'm not getting married until I find the right guy. You've got nothing to worry about, Dad."

"I am worried!" Kai said sharply. "I want to be a grandfather! When you have a child, name them something German. We have too many Italian names in this family. No offense of anything. If it's a girl, name her Ninja!"

"Ninja?" I repeated.

"Yes! It's a nice name in English, right?" He clasped his hands next to his face and sighed wistfully. "Little Ninja…"

"Err, Dad?" I tapped him on the shoulder and he snapped out of his fantasies. "I was wondering if you'd like to go out."

"Don't mind me," Fumo muttered, putting her feet up on the coffee table. "I'm just sitting here being lonely."

"You can come too," I offered.

"Pfft!

No way!" Fumo scoffed. "I prefer to stay inside. All I need is my television." She grabbed the remote control and flipped through channels on the plasma screen TV on the wall in front of her. She grimaced after a few seconds. "And naturally everything's in German. It's such a dumb language."

Kai shouted at her angrily in German and she winked at me.

"South Italian?" I asked.

"Yep!" Fumo's eyes lit up proudly. "Born in Rome."

"How did I ever guess?" I mumbled sarcastically.

"So~?" Kai poked my arm. "About that boyfriend of yours..."

I took a breath. "Dad, that's a, uh, sensitive topic right now."

"But I want to meet him," he insisted. "He's the one taking care of my little girl! C'mon, just for a few minutes, ja?"

"Warum nicht?" he complained.

"Like I said," Fumo said. "Dumb language."

A few more international curse words flew and I rubbed my temples, attempting to get rid of a developing headache. "Guys, calm down. Dad, I wanted to go out with you. In modern day."

"Well, I want to go out with you." He drummed his fingers on the couch cushion. "In the past."

"But-"

"You get to see al the past and modern you want," Kai negotiated. "Just this once? For your old man?"

"Emphasis on 'old,'" Fumo grunted. Kai shouted something at her in Italian this time, and I knew just enough of the language to know it was not to be repeated. Mainly because I heard Romano say it to someone in traffic once.

"Okay, fine!" I groaned. "Just this once."

"Danke~!" Kai threw his arms around me and I buried my face in my hands. It didn't take a genius to tell I was easily manipulated. "Can we go now? Right now? Please?"

"Right…" I took hold of the feather necklace and fingered my key one with my free hand. "You sure you don't want to come, Fumo?"

"Nope. I'm happy here," she declined. "Tell that boyfriend of yours that I said hello, by the way. And that he'd better be treating you nicely."

"Don't worry, he is," I assured her. I took Kai's hand and clasped my feather charm. "Alright, take us to the past."

We were surrounded by memories as they whirled around us. Kai gazed around at them feverishly. "Whoa!" He reached out to touch one, but once his pointer finger made contact, it shattered like glass. The fragments fell into the vortex below.

"Err, that's never happened before," I muttered.

"S-Sorry," Kai apologized frantically. "I didn't mean to."

"Nah, you didn't know," I said. "Then again, neither did I."

We were consumed by the black hole and when we opened our eyes, we saw-

"America?" I gave the necklace a small frown. "The heck did I do wrong? Guess I didn't make our destination specific enough."

"Hey, didn't know you were gonna come to the meeting!" America laughed.

"The meeting?" I repeated. "What meeting?"

"The Allies meeting," he clarified. "Who's that?"

"My dad," I introduced. I pried Kai off my arm and pushed him towards the country. "His name's Kai. Say hi, Dad."

Kai blinked several times in mock confusion and spouted some random German apologies. America tilted his head and his expression became confused.

"Stop messing with him," I groaned. "You speak English and you know it. Stop acting like you don't."

"But it's fun…" Kai rolled his eyes and offered and curt wave. "Hi." Reality seemed to dawn on him and he leaned over America, who was sitting at the table. "You aren't my daughter's boyfriend, are you?!"

"What?! No, no, no!" I rambled, pulling Kai away. "That's just a friend! A friend!"

Britain strode in with a book under his arm and smiled at me kindly. "Oh, hello Bella, I didn't know you were coming."

"That's the guy!" Kai shouted, jabbing a finger at him. "That's him! Yo, Eyebrows! C'mere so I can teach you a lesson!"

Britain winced and stared at me, begging for me to intervene.

"He's a friend too!" I held Kai back as he struggled to get free. "And teach him a lesson about what? He hasn't even done anything yet!"

"B-But I'm German…" Kai whimpered. "I've gotta support the Axis and stuff…"

"Not true, Dad," I sighed. "You can support whoever you want."

Kai sniffed. "Still don't like him."

Britain slowly and cautiously made his way to his seat. "Uh, if you want to attack me for the Axis, then why are you ignoring America? Did you already try?"

Kai shivered. "Ellie…"

"Ellie?" I shot him an accusing look. "Who's Ellie?"

"She's that British-" He cut himself off. "Sorry, Bella, I shouldn't go using that word in front of you. To make a short story shorter, she broke my heart. OH GOD, ELLIE, WHY-"

"That's enough!" I snapped.

After a few moments of silence, Kai added, "How do I know you're not lying? One of them could be the boyfriend and you just don't want me to know."

"Uh…"

"Take our word for it, she isn't with us," Britain said.

"It's true," America shrugged.

"Give me proof," Kai demanded.

"B-Because…" Kai's glare was practically burning a hole in my head. But I wasn't about to crack under the pressure. "Because… Because they're already dating each other!"

America bit his lip and Britain was - what's the word? - shocked? Unresponsive? His eyes were almost as big as his eyebrows. And that's pretty big.

"Ooooooh." Kai crossed his arms and nodded in approval. "I see. You should make some more…homosexual, is it? Yeah, more homosexual friends. That way they won't be interested in you."

"Sure…" Kai turned to sit down and I mouthed "sorry" to the countries. All I got in return were rueful glances. I sat next to my dad and folded my arms on the table. At that moment, the rest of the Allies sauntered in.

"Hey, guys," I greeted weakly.

"Something wrong?" Russia asked.

"No, no, nothing," I replied. "Oh, this is my dad, by the way. No flirting with him, France."

"Ah! No need to worry about that one!" Kai pointed at France. "If he's gonna flirt with me, then he's gay. Good!" He grinned happily. "And? What about you two?"

China adjusted the basket carrying his panda. "…I don't think-"

"Oh, never mind." Kai crossed his legs. "You're a girl. Thought you were a guy for a second there."

China was taken aback by the statement. "What?! No, I'm a-"

"No need to be embarrassed about it, mädchen," Kai assured her, holding up a hand. "Now, who are all of you?"

"I'm China-"

"ELLIE WAS CHINESE!" Kia buried his face in his arms and cried into them.

"Don't you start," I groaned, pulling his head up by his hair.

"I thought you said Ellie was British," Britain pointed out.

"Born in England, Chinese heritage," Kai explained sadly. "I couldn't resist. Why do Asian girls have to be so hot…?"

"That's France, that's Russia, meeting start," I hastily interrupted. The remaining nations sat at their seats and the meeting began.

I'm a fan of MatPat from Game Theorists on YouTube. I learned from their Pyro episode that the length of your ring and index finger can tell if you're gay or not.

Romano: *checks fingers* ...

Don't worry, you're good! I think. I haven't checked. I can never see your fingers right in the episodes somehow.

Romano: *anime sweat bead* Just...Just explain it.

Okay, so it goes like this: The length of your fingers has to do with how much testosterone you get in the womb. If you're a man, your ring finger should be longer than your index. If you're a girl, those fingers should be around the same size. However, there are exceptions. Gay men and lesbians have the rule flipped because they got either too much or not enough testosterone.

Spain: Oh. *squints at hand* Uh...mine are the same size.

Romano: 0_0 *hastily checks to make sure* Oh...I think I'm okay.

You THINK.

Romano: Shut up. B(

But here's the best part! :D Hey! Hey, Doitsu, get over here!

Germany: *walks in* What now?

I saw on the Hetalia Wiki that your fingers are the same size on your profile picture!

Romano: 0_0'

Can I see? Please~?

Prussia: You shouldn't even bother checking. God knows he has too much testosterone.

*checks Germany's hand* Omigod.

Germany: T_T What?

OMIGOD.

Prussia: ...Something wrong?

This is awesome! GerIta is now a possible pairing!

Germany and Prussia: ...?

Ita-chan! ITA-CHAAAAAAAN!

Italy: What? :)

Gimme yo hand!

Italy: Uh, okay.

*checks hand* ...Today...is a historical day...

Spain: But his fingers are at a half-way point...It's kinda hard to tell.

Does that mean he's bisexual or something?

Spain: Guess so!

YEEEEEEES! Let us prepare the wedding and stuff!

Germany: WHA-?

Italy: What wedding?

:D Yours~!

Italy: Really? ...To who?

*points to Doitsu* It only makes sense!

Germany: NO-

Italy: Yup! :D

Germany: o_O No. Just no.

Holy Rome: *runs in with chainsaw* DIE!

To be continued! (maybe)

k bye.
