As New Spain and Puebla were walking towards the petting zoo they bumped into a boy with light brown hair and honey brown eyes caring a small Spectacled Bear, in his arms.
"Hello, Colombia," New Spain said as she got up from the floor.
"H-hello, New Spain," Colombia said nervously looking at the boy next to her.
"Oh, this is Puebla he is our new little brother," New Spain said cheerfully.
"Oh that is good," Colombia smiled looking at the little boy, "anyways where were you headed, New Spain?"
"Oh just the petting zoo, to show Puebla the rest of his other siblings, I was told they would there," New Spain responded.
"Oh, they are, well, have fun," Colombia said. Then Colombia began to walk away.
"Common, Puebla, you don't want to miss getting to see everyone else now to you," New Spain cheered as she began to run in the direction that Colombia had just appeared from.
Once they reached some wooden magnificent doors, New Spain took a deep breath and smiled as she looked at her younger brother with a wide smile. She opened the door to show him a wonderful that almost brought tears to his eyes. His Nana had once told him about all of them and how they would roam freely around Mama Azteca's feet and purr at her touch.
"Ecuador, hola como estas?" New Spain asked a boy with brown hair and light hazel eyes.
"Muy bien, Nueva España, como te fue en tu viaje?" Ecuador asked as he played with his pet puma cub.
"Bien, oh this is Puebla our new little brother," New Spain said pointing at the boy next to her.
"Oh, hello, Puebla," Ecuador said looking at him.
"Is that your puma?" Puebla asked taking interest in the animal in Ecuador's arms.
"Well, yes, Spain, allowed us to keep an animal from our homeland so that we wouldn't get homesick," Ecuador said snuggling close to puma.
"New Spain!" a girl with brown hair and brown eyes cheered as she walked ran towards them.
"New Spain!" a blue Macaw that was on top of the girl's head repeated.
"Hello, Panama," New Spain said smiling at the girl in front of her.
Panama smiled and kissed New Spain on the cheek, and New Spain did the same.
"So who is he?" Panama asked pointing at Puebla.
"H-"New Spain got interrupted by Ecuador.
"He is our new little brother Puebla," Ecuador answered.
"Oh," Panama smiled looking at Puebla, "hey, have you seen, Colombia?"
"Yes, as a-matter-of-fact I bumped into him before I got here, I think he was heading to the nursery" New Spain said.
"Thanks, New Spain," Panama said before running off.
"Oh look there's Paraguay. Hey, Paraguay, over here!" New Spain said waving to a boy with black hair and green eyes who was playing with a jaguar cub.
"Hey, New Spain, come here!" Paraguay said waving at her to come over.
"So how you been, Paraguay?" New Spain asked giving Paraguay a hug.
"Pretty good, um, New Spain, who's the kid?" Paraguay asked pointing at the boy next to her.
"Oh, this is Puebla, he is our new little brother," New Spain said cheerfully.
"Well, that's nice, Spain brought us another brother, why didn't he bring us a sister this time?" a boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes asked who appeared to be petting a llama.
"Yeah you're right, Bolivia, why didn't he bring us another sister?" asked a girl who looked almost exactly like the boy just that she had a slightly lighter brown hair color and she was petting an alpaca.
"That's not very nice, Peru!" New Spain said giving them both a death glare.
"Oh common you know we are just kidding, we are glad we got a new baby brother," Bolivia said smiling at Puebla.
"Yeah he is so cute, hey, he kind of looks like you and Spain," Peru said looking at his suspiciously.
"That's because he looks like Mama Azteca and you know that I look just like her right except for my eyes their more like Papa Maya's," New Spain explained.
"Oh yeah your right," both Bolivia and Peru agreed.
"Do you miss you parents, New Spain?" asked Peru.
"Sin pensar, don't you miss your mother Peru?" New Spain asked as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Yes, I miss Mama Inca very much," Peru answered before she started to cry.
Paraguay and Bolivia pushed them to one another and saw as how they hugged and cried in each other's arms. Puebla wanted to be apart of everything that New Spain was apart of, but right before he could reach them both Bolivia and Paraguay stopped him and pulled him aside.
"Sorry, Puebla, but if you try to comfort one of them you will only be placing them in a dark abyss with no way of escape. Then with time they will wither away," Paraguay said as he looked sadly at the two girls crying over their dead loved ones.
"Why not?" asked Puebla.
"They live in regret and remorse. They blame themselves for their parent's deaths, I know Peru does every night before she goes to sleep, and something tells me New Spain does too" Bolivia said.
Flash back:
"You don't understand, Bolivia, you weren't there I was, I should have done something, I could have stopped it from happening," Peru cried in between sobs.
"You were very young at the time what could you have done to stop, Inca from dying?" Bolivia asked.
"I don't know, I should have stayed by her side instead of falling for Spain's sweet words," Peru said making her cry even harder, "you know what, Bolivia, I bet New Spain is thinking these same things right now."
"Yes I am sure she is," Bolivia said giving Peru a tissue to dry her eyes with.
End flashback:
"Its best to leave them alone for a while let them cry until they feel better," Bolivia said with a distant look in his eyes.
"Hey, do you want to meet Orito?" Paraguay asked Puebla.
"Oh yeah New Spain said she wanted to introduce me to him," Puebla cheered.
"Great," Paraguay said and began to walk in the direction of a small green barn house.
Paraguay opened the door to let Puebla in and see a golden eagle perched sadly looking out his window.
"Hey Orito look who I have here its, Puebla," Paraguay told the sad bird.
Orito ignored Paraguay and kept on looking out his window.
"And if he's here then that means New Spain is here too," Bolivia teased the bird.
This caught Orito's attention and suddenly looked at them to see if they were lying.
'Is New Spain really here?' Orito thought as he flew down to greet them.
"Well as I said this is Puebla, Orito," Paraguay said.
Orito just stared at Puebla with great intensity. Just then the barn door opened and this time New Spain stepped with a smile on her face.
"Hello, Orit," New Spain said giving Orito a shy smile. That seemed to say I am sorry I left without you and I missed you.
"Hey look what I brought you, Orito," New Spain said as she put her hands in her pockets to show Orito some of that rattle snake meat he loved so much.
Orito swooped to her arms and began to eat all of meat New Spain had in her
cupped hands. Orito seemed overjoyed to be reunited with his master. Puebla just glared at the bird as he began to fly to New Spain's shoulders and rest there.
"Hey, I think we should head back it's almost time for lunch. You know how Romano hates it when we are late for any meals," Paraguay said as began to head to the house.
"You're right, Paraguay. New Spain, where did Peru go?" Bolivia asked.
"Oh she went inside. She was kind of falling asleep while she was crying, it happens," New Spain said as she looked at Bolivia.
"Thanks I'll go see her," Bolivia said as he began to run back to the house.
"I think we should go too," New Spain said she took both Orito and Puebla with her.
