New Spain ran to the house that for the first time since she had arrived could finally see it for what it really was… her prison, her cage. Then sudden tears of rage began to flow from her eyes for it didn't matter if her cage was made of gold it was still a cage. New Spain fell on her knees and she tried to dry her eyes to no avail, whenever she would dry one tear two more would take its place. New Spain went straight to the faucet and began to pump out water to clean her bloody hands. At first the cold water stung her tiny hands but then it began to sooth her. After that she cupped her hands and began to splash her face as to hide the fact that she had just cried. Then she got up and began to walk towards that "prison" but she made sure that she held her head high as she did so.
"Hello, New Spain," Spain said as soon as she came into view.
"Hello, Big Brother Spain," New Spain stuttered making sure she made eye contact with him.
"Come here," Spain ordered as he pointed at the ground right in fort of him.
New Spain slowly began to walk towards him every step feeling like the end of the world.
"Let me see your hands," Spain said.
Spain kneeled down in front of New Spain to get a better look at the cuts that were on her hands. Then he made a quick scan at her outfit, not a single stain was on it.
"My poor baby, I was too rough on you," Spain grieved as quickly embraced New Spain.
New Spain froze in the sudden hug that had just consumed her. Spain was the one person she did not understand at all. Didn't he want her to suffer, hadn't that been the reason for her punishment.
"I love you, New Spain," Spain lamented.
Then New Spain began to feel warm tears fall on her cheek and she couldn't help but cry as well. Spain let go of New Spain so that he could look her in the eye again. New Spain could see Spain's tear stained face, he looked so sad almost broken hearted.
"New Spain it hurts me when you make me do things like this," Spain said as he grabbed her hands.
"W-what d-do y-you f-feel a-about m-me?" New Spain asked in between sobs.
"I am the one who loves you the most, New Spain" Spain said as he looked her in the eye.
"Why, Spain, why did you choose me?" New Spain asked as she began to cry even harder.
"Does someone need a reason when they fall in love?" Spain asked.
"I want to go to sleep, Spain," New Spain said as she began to rub her eyes.
Spain picks New Spain off the ground and begins to rock her too sleep and right before she doses off to sleep she can hear Spain tell her something.
"New Spain, I am willing to wait an eternity for you, if that is what it takes," Spain gently whispers in her ear.
When New Spain finally woke up she had hunger pains in her stomach. Then she saw a pair of blue eyes at the foot of her bed staring at her with great intense, those blue eyes almost seemed to pierce right through her. The young stranger also seemed to have blond hair, New Spain move her head to the side then began to scratch her head as she tried to remember who he was.
"Germany! Your Germany right?" New Spain asked.
"Yes," Germany rejoiced blushing in the process.
New Spain smiled as she looked at the boy in front of her.
"So what brings you here, Germany?" New Spain asked.
"Well, my Big Brother Prussia came here to talk to Spain about something important. They are really great friends did you know that, New Spain?" Germany asked.
"No I did not, my Big Brother Spain doesn't let anyone near us so I rarely know any of the other nations except the ones that are around this house," New Spain replied as she got off the bed.
New Spain grabbed a hold on her shoes and began to put them on. Unexpectedly a loud growling sound was heard that scared Germany.
"What was that?" Germany shouted.
"That was my stomach," New Spain said a sudden blush coming to her face.
"Oh sorry, haven't you had lunch already, New Spain?" Germany asked.
"Not really," New Spain answered with a sad smile.
New Spain stole a quick glance at herself in the mirror before she began to head out.
"Um, Germany, you don't mind if I go to the kitchen to get something to eat?" New Spain asked heading to the kitchen as she did so.
"No, not at all," Germany responded.
Germany followed New Spain down stairs towards the kitchen.
"Hello, Romano!" New Spain cheered in what Germany could swear almost sounded as if she was singing.
"Ciao, New Spain," Romano said as he continued to peal the orange he was about to eat. Not noticing who was with her.
New Spain began went to the table and got a hold of pomegranate and a jalapeño. New Spain began to eat the jalapeño.
"Oh, where are my manners? Germany, do you want some?" New Spain asked.
"Um, sure," Germany replied taking a bite out of the jalapeño that New Spain had just bitten.
"I was talking about the pomegranate," New Spain stammered as she saw how Germany's face began to turn red.
Germany suddenly decided to run outside and began to turn the facet and placed his head right underneath the running cold water.
Meanwhile New Spain was hysterical as she apologized for not being clear. Suddenly a switch went on in New Spain's head she ran back inside the kitchen with a glass of milk.
"Germany, here drink this!" New Spain shouted as she gave him the glass.
Germany just looked at the girl in front of him with caution, but saw that she meant well when she was giving him the glass of milk. He took it and miraculously he no longer felt the burning sensation in his mouth or nose.
"How come you didn't get spiced up when you took a bite from that vegetable, New Spain?" Germany asked.
"Oh, I have been eating jalapeños for almost all my life, so the burning sensation is something I am used to by now. By the way I am really sorry, I didn't think you would actually going to bite it," New Spain answered.
Germany just looked at her with great attention.
'She cared,' Germany thought as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Out of no where New Spain began to laugh.
"W-what's so funny?" Germany asked feeling a little hurt.
"I am sorry. It's just that you are the first person to ever eat my jalapeño that is not from Latin America, every one else has a tendency of staying away from them," New Spain said.
"I see," Germany said no helping to laugh with her.
Romano who had fallen asleep through all the noise abruptly woke up. Then he headed out to find New Spain laughing with a boy who was soaking wet. When Romano recognized who was it was that was laughing with New Spain he felt sudden rage, he marched towards them. As soon as he was within reach of New Spain, Romano pulled on her into his arms.
"Stay… away… from… my… little… sister…," Romano said in between huffs of rage.
"Why we're just laughing? Right, New Spain?" Germany asked looking at New Spain.
"He is right, Romano," New Spain said to the boy ho was hugging her.
"You both are lucky that Spain isn't here, because he would kill you, Germany," Romano said giving him a death glare.
"Yeah he sure is lucky!" Spain said appearing out of nowhere. Right behind him was both Prussia and Puebla.
"Spain what are you doing here?" Romano asked.
"I just came here to see what all the shouting was about!" Spain said with malice in his voice.
"West, are you okay?" Prussia asked as he walked towards his little brother.
"He is not, Prussia," Spain said as he glared at Germany, "when you asked me if you could play with New Spain I thought you were talking about him, Germany!"
Puebla just stared since he knew that he must be the 'him' that Spain was referring to.
"Spain, what's wrong?" Prussia asked.
"I just don't like it when people try to get near my little sister New Spain!" Spain shouted boiling in rage.
"What made you think that West was talking about the boy, when he asked you if he could play with New Spain?" Prussia asked.
"Puebla just so happens to be a part of New Spain, Prussia!" Spain shouted feeling angrier.
New Spain pulled herself out of Romano's arms and ran straight towards Spain.
Wrapping her arms around his legs and then she began to cry onto him.
"I am sorry, Spain, I am sorry," New Spain sobbed.
Spain looked at the little girl in front of him and he began to calm down.
"I think you should go now," Spain said as he knelt down to be at an eye level with New Spain.
"I think I should," Prussia said picking up his brother in the process.
"Next time don't bring your brother with you," Spain said.
Then both Prussia and Germany left.
The next day:
Everyone was in the library. Romano suddenly got up and began to leave. No one seemed to notice his absence all except for both New Spain and Spain himself. Spain looked at New Spain and nodded yes she was aloud to go with Romano to visit N. Italy. New Spain smiled and began to go after Romano.
"Hey, Romano wait up!" New Spain shouted after him.
"New Spain what are you doing?" Romano asked as he looked at the girl who was behind him.
"Spain said I could go with you if I wanted. Besides I want to meet your sister," New Spain said with a grin on her face.
"Um, Northern Italy is a boy, not a girl, New Spain," Romano said with a blush.
"0_o okay," New Spain said.
"Yeah I know, it's just that my brother has a tendency of being very girly that many people mistake him for a girl," Romano said, "its kind of embarrassing you know. Having people think you have a sister when really he is your brother."
"I am so so sorry, Romano, I had no idea," New Spain said as she walked by his side.
"Don't be," Romano said with a smile, "it's that bastards Spain's entire fault for misinforming you. I swear that idiot wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a boy or a girl unless he sees them naked."
After that they did not talk until they arrived at Austria's house. New Spain was amazed at the beautiful music that was coming from the building.
"Wow, is this Italy's house," New Spain said admiring the architecture in front of her.
"No this is Austria's house, Italy just lives under his care," Romano explained, "be prepared to get out of the way."
"Huh? What do you mean?" New Spain asked as Romano knocked on the door.
"You'll see," Romano said.
Then out of nowhere a girl opened the door and hugged New Spain almost killing her in the process.
"Italy, open your eyes I am over here," Romano said feeling rather annoyed.
"I am sorry, who are you?" Italy asked the tiny little girl in his arms.
"I am New Spain, it's very nice to meet you, Italy," New Spain said.
"I am sorry it's just that I miss my brother so much. Why don't you visit me more often, Romano?" Italy said looking at Romano with a sad face.
"Oh common, I come visit you every week," Romano said with a sigh.
"That's not soon enough! And besides when you do you don't stay long! That's it you don't love me anymore!" Italy said right before he burst into tears.
