A/N: Here's chapter 4! Remember to Review! Thanks.
Disclaimer: I own Jen, Bernie, and my new OC( surprise!). I don't own Hetalia.
For the past month I've been staying with Alfred, Toris, and Bernie. They've became the family and friends I always wanted. Toris eventually told me he was Lithuania. Bernie and I have gotten to know each other better. Bernie is from New Orleans, and his family has been serving America for the past few centuries. Every time, when Alfred, Toris and I went to the city, Bernie would go off somewhere. It turns out he has a girlfriend!
I always tease him about it, and he blushes like crazy! Besides that I've been having fun and my birthday is tomorrow. Alfred said he'd take me to the beach, which is making me even more excited!
Right now, Alfred and I were on the couch just finishing up 'Inception'. Alfred was so confused during the whole movie so I was explaining to him, for the third time, how the movie worked.
"So, they are in a dream then they have to fall asleep in that dream to wake up in another dream?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yes, that's how it works."
"Well that is too hard to understand! I'm going to bed. I'll see you in the morning."
Alfred started walking off until the phone rang. "Ugh! Who the hell could that be? It's almost 11:00 p.m.!" I went over to the phone and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Yes, is America in?" asked a man with a British accent.
"Um… is this England?" I asked politely.
"Yes it is. May I speak with him?" England asked.
"Sure." I handed the phone to Alfred and he mouthed "Who is it?"
"England."
He rolled his eyes and I started giggling really loud till Alfred signaled me to stop. Alfred went into the other room to have some privacy, while I started cleaning up the popcorn and candy. I started chewing on a Twizzler when I heard Alfred scream: "WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Alfred came back into the room with a sad look on his face.
"Al, what's wrong?"
He sighed. "Tomorrow I have to be at the World Conference. It's being held in New York this time. I have to get my reports on my economy and all this other crap ready. I'm likely to be there for a while. I'm so sorry Jen I really wanted to make this birthday special, but I guess I won't be here."
Alfred looked sad, but I was the one disappointed the most. I really wanted to spend my birthday with him. Bernie will be out with his girlfriend so I would practically be alone. I sighed. "Well you have to show everyone what a hero you will be so I understand."
Alfred came over and gave me a hug. I tensed up a little then hugged him back. Finally, after a minute we broke apart. "Thanks I needed that heh." I said trying to smile. Then America's eyes lit up.
"Dude Jen you can totally come in with us! The conference hall is huge! It has a cafeteria, an arcade section, and a wicked, awesome batting cage! You can hang out there for a while then when we get done you can have a rocking birthday! The idea is so genius! So whaddya say, Jen?"
"Are the other countries supposed to know about me? I mean won't you get in trouble?"
Alfred's face turned serious. "Nah just don't talk to them. It would put me in a bad position if they found out you knew about the countries or whatever. Plus, Britain and Switzerland have never liked the idea of the countries telling humans our secret for some reason. When I was first recognized as a country they gave me specific rules. Of course one of them was to not let humans know our secret."
"So you can live forever?"
"Yes."
I don't know why, but that made me really upset. I told Alfred goodnight and I went to bed. I stayed up till 3:00 am because I'm thinking of how Toris and Alfred won't age, but I will. I guess that's what happens when you make friends with the countries. I slowly drift off to sleep with that in mind.
I think I'm imagining it, but I feel bouncing on my bed. And I hear giggling. I wake up and see Alfred on my bed giggling like a stupid junior high girl with a crush and bouncing on my bed.
"Happy Birthday Jen!" He exclaims. Then he engulfs me into a big hug. I forgot how strong he is.
"Can't…. breathe…" I struggle to get out.
"Oh I'm sorry little dudette." Alfred lets me go. "Even though I have to go to a boring meeting, which I'll probably sleep in, we can still have fun today. Now get up! Toris and Bernie are making you breakfast." Alfred gets up and exits the door.
I sigh and get dressed. I took a shower and put on a red shirt and some black skinny jeans. I leave the room and go to the kitchen. The food smelled so delicious I started drooling. I burst into the kitchen and squealed when I saw French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits all on the table. These were my favorite foods in the whole wide world! I quickly dug in and started eating the bacon. Oh how I love the bacon! I guess Americans do eat a lot. When I finished eating I was stuffed. Toris walked into the room wearing a green military uniform. "Oh Miss Jen you ate most of the food! And Happy birthday."
I laughed. "Come on Toris we've known each other for about a month you can call me just Jen now." Toris nodded. "Mr. America is preparing his documents so we should be ready to go soon." Toris exited the room. I decided that Alfred would've needed help, probably organizing his reports. I think if I looked around I could I could find his office.
I started down the hall looking for his office where I first met him. That seemed like years ago. Now Alfred and I were good friends now. As I walked down the hall I caught a door that said 'storage room'. Could that be where Alfred tried to clean up his Pre- Revolutionary War items he got from England? I felt tempted to go in there, but I knew that that was Alfred's personal belongings he could never give away. He even had such a hard time looking at them. I walked past the room and made a right. How big is this stupid house?
Ahead of me is Alfred's study. I knock and Alfred says: "Come in." I walked in closing the door behind me. Alfred was chewing on a piece of bacon and looking over some reports. "Hey Al, I was wondering if you needed any help."
He stood up and grabbed, the now, neatly organized reports and folders. "Nah I'm good plus the birthday girl shouldn't do any work on her birthday. I'm ready to go! I promise as soon as I get out of that meeting I'll take you somewhere fun ok?" I nodded.
"Let's go then!" Alfred and I walked to the front door where Bernie and Toris were waiting for us. We got in the limo and were on our way to the World Conference. I was nervous since I wanted to meet the other countries, but I still remember Alfred's warning. What happens if Alfred gets caught and I'm to blame? I was fidgeting in my seat. Thank God, Alfred and Toris didn't notice since they were discussing something. I just need to calm down. After all it is my birthday! This should be a good day.
But why did I feel like this day would take a nasty turn?
After half an hour Bernie dropped us off at the Conference Hall. It was a tall red bricked building. The inside was truly breathtaking. There was a fountain and an arcade! There were also desks to rent out batting equipment for the batting cages. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.
Alfred grabbed my hand and dragged me down a hall to where we came to double doors. "Looks like the other nations are arriving. Ah there is Estonia and Lativa. I must go." Toris took off to meet his friends.
"Yeah, there's Britain and Japan I better go over to them. They're probably wondering where the awesome hero is! Happy Birthday Jen. I'll see you soon." With that said, Alfred walked in. I could here is voice shout "the hero is here!" . Typical Alfred. He'll never change. There was a brown bench so I sat down and watched the other countries go into the meeting. I saw Spain, Russia, Poland, Finland, and finally Italy go in. The doors closed and World Conference started.
I sat there on the brown bench trying to see if I could hear what the countries were saying, but I didn't hear anything. The only thing I heard was an annoying laugh that I haven't heard in a month. In front of me stood Prussia himself. Without thinking, I lunged at Prussia and slammed him against the wall.
"Nice to see you to Janessa! Tell me, how are things with stupid America?
"Fine no thanks to you! You better have a good freaking reason why you sent me here and left me to freeze to death in Alfred's garden! Why did you kidnap me and send me here? Is there something you want?" By the time I finished I calmed down a bit, but my hands were sweaty and were shaking uncontrollably with anger. Prussia looked at me and smirked.
"I'll tell you why. I wanted to mess with two certain people. England and Mother Africa."
"Mother Africa? Who's that? I don't remember her."
"Mother Africa is the woman who gave birth to all the countries in Africa. People say life started in Africa, so that's why she is called Mother Africa and she is-"
I interrupted him. "What does Mother Africa have to do with me? You know what? I don't care Prussia. Take me back home to my family! They are worried about me since I've been gone for a month."
Prussia looked at me with a angry expression. "The awesome Prussia is trying to explain to you something very important and you won't listen! Fine then. I was going to offer to take you home, but I think you should meet the other countries first." Without warning, Prussia kicked me in my stomach and I was sent flying back into the door. My head hit the hard floor hard and I groaned. Prussia advanced toward me. When he was right over me, looking down, I kicked him in his-uh how did Austria put it?- 'his vital regions'. Prussia went down with a pained look on his face.
I got up and started laughing. "Take that you little albino freak! Now then do me a favor since it's my birthday." I bent down and grabbed his shirt collar, started shaking him then said: "TAKE ME HOME NOW!".
Someone cleared there throat and I turned around to see all the world countries staring at me. China got up and said "Who are you aru?".
"Yes a human shouldn't be here in this meeting." Said England.
"Who cares! This is a belle fille has dropped into our meeting uninvited. We should be celebrating!" Exclaimed France happily.
"Ve~ Germany! Germany! It's a chocolate girl! She's so cute! Nee do you like pasta?" asked Italy. Gosh he was too adorable!
"Vhat is she doing here? America is this girl yours?" asked Germany, who was glaring at America.
"Lithuania I can feel your fear from all the way over there. Why don't you come over here and explain what this girl is doing here, da?" asked Russia. How could a guy so evil have such an innocent face?
Toris and Alfred gave each other nervous looks. They were sweating badly. A look between the two them read: Were caught! What will we do? Everyone was whispering and pointing at me. I felt embarrassed and it was all stupid Prussia's fault!
"Alfred and-uh-" began England.
"Jen. Her name is Jen." Said Alfred quickly.
"Very well. Alfred and Jen may I have a word with you two in private?"
I can tell already this wouldn't be good.
A/N: Wow that was a long chapter! Uh oh it looks like Jen and Alfred are in trouble! Poor Jen. Prussia is always causing problems for her. And you'll definitely hear more of Mother Africa and her connection to Jen. It's 1:00 a.m. now so I'm going to bed. I'll post this later.
