The Hero always gets the Girl!
Chapter 2!
A/N: how funny that I write Jen loosing the basketball game and we lost our game Monday. I found that really funny! Plus I almost fouled out! Yay! So here is chapter 2! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, or the Big Bang Theory theme song. I own Jen and Bernie.
I followed Toris down the hallway till we came to two a big door that said "America's Study". I sighed. I figured it would say something like "The Hero's Study!" Toris knocked on the door. "Mr. Alfred are you in, sir?" A muffled sound was heard through the door. "Wait here one second Miss Jen."
Toris went into the study and closed the door behind him. I put my back against the wall, slid down, and put my head in my knees. My thoughts were racing a hundred miles a second.
'Where's Prussia?'
'Why am I here?'
'Will I see Sierra Paige and my friends again?'
'Will I see my boyfriend ever again?'
God, just thinking about him hurt. We fought over some rumors going around school. The rumor was that he was seeing another girl. I became so paranoid when I should've trusted him. When I saw him with another girl and I completely flipped out. He explained that was a friend of his, but I was too stubborn so I walked away. Then I lost my game and got kidnapped my Prussia and I'm currently sitting in America's house unsure about what to do. That's when I started humming the Big Bang Theory song. It kept my mind off of things.
'Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!'
As soon as I finished the song Toris came out. "He would like to see you now Miss Jen."
"Thank you Toris. You've been really helpful!" I said cheerfully
Toris nodded then he went down the hall. I opened up the door and America, or Alfred F. Jones, was sitting behind a desk with 4 McDonald's sacks all over. My stomach growled. That's right! I haven't eaten dinner or had breakfast since yesterday. Yesterday seemed like eons ago.
"You're awake! I'm so freaking glad! I was worried that you would die or something, but I'm the hero so even if there is a random girl in my garden I'll always save a damsel in distress!" Alfred said, his voice getting really excited.
"Well, thanks for saving me." I said, a smile creeping up on my lips. "How did you know I was in your garden anyway?"
"Well it was 2:00 a.m. and I was sleeping, because the hero needs a lot of rest you know, and I heard a girl screaming 'Damn Prussia!' so I got Toris and my right hand man, Bernie, to come with me and investigate. We ran out into the garden and by my lake I saw you curled up in a ball shivering. So, like the hero I am, I picked you up and brought you to bed. You don't have to thank me though! I did it for a fellow citizen. At least I think you're a fellow citizen. Are you a fellow citizen? What's your name?"
I couldn't help myself. I laughed so hard that I fell out of my seat. Man, Alfred asks a lot of questions and loves being the hero. After I finished laughing I looked up and saw a confused expression on Alfred's face. "I-is something wrong?"
I shook my head. "No, it's just you ask a ton of questions. I am a U.S. Citizen and my name is Janessa McGee, but everyone calls me Jen. I live- uh lived in Texas."
Alfred nodded. "I see." He leaned forward against the desk and his blue eyes stared into my brown ones. He had a serious expression on his face. America serious? Who would've thought? "So, do you mind telling me why you were in my garden so late at night?" I started fidgeting in my seat and cracked my fingers. I always do that when I'm nervous. How was I supposed to tell him that I came from another world? I could try lying, but I suck at lying. I guess I'll just have to tell him the truth, but how? "I- uh- I" I stuttered, but suddenly a man came in wearing a butler suit.
The man had tan skin and green eyes with black hair. "Mr. Alfred we bought some clothes for the girl." He didn't seem to notice me.
"Ok dude. She's right here. Her name is Jen, and she's awesome! Come on let's go check out your clothes Jen!" he said then Alfred grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door. We went down the hall and made a left and we came to the living room, where 5 bags were sitting on the couch.
"All of this is for me?" I asked, shocked. Alfred hardly even knew me and yet he bought me clothes. I guess he wasn't kidding about being the hero.
"Yep all for you!" He went over to one bag and started pulling out stuff. He held up an object in the air. "This is deodorant so that you won't stink up my house with your B.O." Alfred pulled out 2 boxes. "These are some pads and tampons when you're on that time of the month." Alfred held out the next object. "And these are some Aleve, just in case you get cramps and get all bitchy on me."
Yes, he said all of this with a huge smile on his face. "Uh thanks for being thoughtful." I said through gritted teeth. He just completely embarrassed me!
"Oh I didn't mean to make you mad Jen. Besides that I got you clothes, shoes, and everything else you need. If there's anything you need ask me! Or if I'm not here then ask my awesome right hand man, Bernie! Alfred said, pointing to Bernie, who was in the corner, quiet and trying not to laugh. I felt my face heat up.
"May I go shower and get dressed?" I asked, still embarrassed.
"Yea of course! Bernie show her to the bathroom! Toris I feel like waffles today for breakfast!"
I grabbed 2 bags while Bernie got the other 3. As I was walking out I remembered something and I smirked mischievously.
"Hey America!" I called. Alfred looked up and had a shocked and scared look on his face. "I'm glad you think I'm cute." I winked at him then followed Bernie down the hall, leaving Alfred confused.
"You shouldn't know about Mr. America's identity Miss Janessa." Bernie said to me once we got to the bathroom. He was letting the water heat up so I could take a much needed bath. " I know I shouldn't, but I just guessed." I lied.
Bernie stared at me with a blank face until he shut the faucet off. He walked toward the door then said bitterly "You're a very interesting girl Janessa. I don't know how you know about Mr. America being a country, but you better not say a damn word. You got that?" He walked out.
After I bathed, took care of my hygiene, and put on some new clothes I went downstairs. What was up with that Bernie guy? Did he really expect me to tell Alfred's secret? I really want to go home! I made my way to the kitchen and I saw Alfred stuffing his face full of waffles. I sat down across from him and I began putting 3 waffles on my plate. America and I ate in an awkward silence. After breakfast he cleared his throat. "So- uh how do you know?"
I wasn't exactly ready to tell him the truth. Then I thought of a fun idea and I smiled. "Alfred let's play cards. If you win then I tell you everything, but if I win you drop the subject. Are we clear?"
Alfred laughed. "Ok Jen you're on! I'll obviously win because I'm the hero!" Alfred got up and went, I'm guessing, to find the playing cards.
Oh Alfred was going to be in for a big surprise.
A/N: I started playing cards today in P.E. and I won a lot! It was so fun! I guess I have beginners luck! So next chapter I'm introducing Tony! Don't forget to review! Thanks for reading!
