The Real World

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated. I was working on the prequel to this story "We'll Never Forget You." So uh yea. I changed the name of this story and my username. I've had a good day so review. Don't be lazy, they motivate me I promise! Now onto the chapter:

It was Friday and it was time for Alfred, Toris and I to go to France's Spring Break party. I really didn't want to go considering England was going to be there. I know it's not their fault for what happened to my sister, but the fact they knew about me just startles me. We were in the limousine and it was quiet. Alfred looked out the window, Toris stared down at his hands, and I was reading a book.

When it was time to get out, Bernie looked at us with hopeful looks. "Come you three lighten up! It's a beautiful day and you're going to have fun! I know you guys have been having troubles, but just enjoy today. I'll be back in several hours."

"Ok." I mumbled.

"Whatever, dude". Muttered Alfred.

"Sure thing." Said Toris, but he didn't sound cheerful at all.

We were on the boardwalk and we saw the countries in the ocean, playing volleyball, cooking food, and sunbathing. Toris walked off somewhere leaving me and Alfred alone. I sighed. I really didn't want to be here, because of England. Speak of the devil….

"America! Janessa! I'm so glad you two made it." Said England. He was wearing green swim trunks and was barefooted. His hair was wet from playing in the ocean. "To be honest, actually, I thought you two wouldn't come." He said with a nervous laugh.

"Well the hero has to show up to just in need of trouble! I'm going to go see Japan. Peace! Oh and Jen…" Alfred came over to me took his hand and lifted my face up so that I was staring at his blue eyes. I felt my face heat up a little bit and it defiantly wasn't from the sun. "Try to have fun ok? We are likely to be here all day so enjoy yourself. Life's short." Suddenly, I get angry. Why would he say something like that? Is it because my sister's a country and I'm not? Or was he that stupid to not know how mad I was at him?

He suddenly realized what he said, but tried to take it back. "Look Jen I-." I slipped away from his grasp and stalked over to the beach. I didn't want to be around him or England. When I got onto the beach I almost shrieked because of how hot the sand is. I look around and I spot Spain, China, and France playing a volleyball game against Hungary, Japan, Switzerland, and Seychelles. I go up to Spain's side.

"Uh Hi it looks like you guys aren't even. Mind if I join? This is the only sport I seem to be good at besides basketball." Spain looks up at me and smiles. "Yes senorita of course you may play!"

"We need an extra person on our team, but watch out for Hungary aru." China said shaking bit when he mentioned Hungary.

"Why yes Jen we need a beautiful young lady like you on our team. It'll be just like old times when S-" France was hit by Spain in the arm telling him to be quiet. I knew he was going to say Sierra. I had enough of this. "Look you guys can't pretend my sister doesn't exist. If you must know, she's fine and is in New York on a music scholarship ok? Now can we play volleyball? Maybe later I'll tell you guys what happened to her."

Spain's face lit up with happiness. I wonder if Spain and Sierra were good friends? We took our positions on the sand. Hungary was serving. I could've sworn I saw a dark aura surrounding her. She had her brown hair in a ponytail and had a green bikini on. Everyone is either wearing trunks or a bikini, including myself. She served the ball and it was coming for me. I got my hands in position and bumped the ball over to their side. Switzerland came up and hit the ball back. Spain ran up and spiked the ball, getting us the point. Spain and I gave each other high-fives. For the next two hours we played volleyball. I have to admit Switzerland and Japan were really good. Seychelles didn't do that much except hit the ball over to wear I was, but I hit it back. Our team won and we did a group hug! I was so excited and happy! I hadn't this much fun in months. After our game, Spain, France, and China made me promise to tell them what happened to Sierra at dinner, which was in an hour. It was five o' clock now and I didn't know what to do.

I walked along the beach looking for Alfred or Toris. I needed someone to talk to. I felt all alone now. I turned because I heard someone call my name. I saw Alfred come running toward me. He had a big smile on his face.

"Hey I've been looking for you! That was a beast game you played out there Jen!" Alfred beamed. I smiled at him. "Yea it's been a while since I played, but it worked out fine. I was wondering, uh, how close were Sierra and Spain?"

Alfred looked at me with a shocked look on his face, but then it recovered. "Ha Sierra and Spain were attached at the hip. They were best friends. She's the one who taught him to play volleyball. She was devastated when she left, or died, for some of the countries." I was baffled. "Wait. Some of the countries think she's dead?"

Alfred nodded. "Yea. We only told the people who were close to Sierra. We figured it wasn't any of the other countries business."

I nodded. "I think you guys did the right thing. I just wonder how England is with all of this. Al, I'm going to tell Spain, France, and China about Sierra. After she left the Hetalia World. Would Iggy and you like to join?" I asked. If I was going to explain about my sister I might as well tell them too. Alfred nodded. "Yea I'll be there." Alfred pulled me into a big hug. "Listen Jen I'll make sure you get home safely and not the way Sierra was sent home. I promise. I'll be your hero, Jen."

I felt tears coming into my eyes and I nodded and nuzzled my head more into his shoulder. "Ok. Thank you." I murmered. Alfred pulled away and wiped my tears away. "Come on, Jen let's go back." He takes my hand and we walk back to where the other countries are waiting.

After getting our food we sit down at a table. Spain, France, China, Alfred, Toris, Seychelles, Japan, Hungary and England were sitting down with me so I could discuss my sister. I decide to start from the beginning.

"When I came home from school my sister Larissa told me that Sierra was sleeping. An hour later she comes downstairs for dinner and she has a terrible cough, and she's sweating and panting. We take her to the hospital where the doctor tells us she has a disease that isn't in the U.S. anymore( I forgot what the disease was called) so we had to leave her there for 3 weeks so she could get better. After that she was, well, like dead. She hardly told jokes or made commentary over movies anymore, she did all of her math homework without complaining, and she would get incredibly mad if England was mentioned. If someone spoke in a British accent or talked about scones or anything England related she got so angry.

I remember she even ran out of school because her teacher was talking about England. My dad thought she was mentally ill and it took her some time to come back to reality. She watched anime to pass the time, she played music and composed a bit, and she and her band got a music scholarship to New York. That's where she is currently. Any questions?"

The nations face's had a look of horror on their face. They must've been surprised she went through all that. I bet they just thought they brought her home safely. How wrong were they? England spoke first. "I suppose it's my fault because I cast the spell. I didn't know I would make her hate me as well."

"I miss the little senorita" said Spain with a look of anguish on his face.

All the other countries started murmuring about how shocked they were, until Alfred spoke up. "Dudes the main thing is, is that she's alive, healthy, and is moving on with her life. Even though it must be hard for her she'll make it through. I'm her uncle for crying out loud!" I laughed. "So you and my sister were close?"

Alfred nodded. "I knew she was special ever since I held her as a baby. I'm just glad to know she's safe." Iggy nodded. "As am I America. As am I." The rest of dinner passed by quickly with the nations joking and arguing. Iggy and France argued like usual with Alfred yelling about being the hero. Hungary hit France with a frying pan( God knows where she put that thing!), Spain and Iggy argued, while China, Toris, Seychelles, Japan and I just watched with amusement. The night came to a close with fireworks.

As I was walking along the beach I heard a low cackle from behind me. I turn around and see Prussia. Great! I had a great day and now Prussia's gonna ruin it. "Look Jen I'm not here to cause trouble. The awesome me has come to tell you that I got in touch with Mother Africa and she will come to meet you this winter." I don't say anything, but I nod and turn back around to face the ocean. Prussia sighs.

"Look Jen-."

"Jen?" I turn around and see an unhappy Alfred looking between Prussia and I. "It's time to go, come on." He grabs my hand and drags me back to limo where Bernie is waiting for us. "What about Toris? I ask, noticing my friend gone. Alfred explains that Toris went home with the Baltic states tonight. I lean against Alfred and thank him for a good time and drift off to sleep.

A/N: Aww! That was sweet! I like how this chapter turned out. Remember to Review! Seychelles will have a bigger part in this. Remember to check out the prequel to this.
