Author's Note-I love the Olympics, but I think that it is about time for this series of shorts to focus more on North America and less on the world scene, and so I present this piece as a transition. Hopefully you will enjoy it. But before we get to the chapter, a quick shout out. Thanks to ZorasimplyZora, Daffodil Moon, and HetaliaFanAmerica (who will have a particular connection to this chapter) for leaving wonderful reviews. It means a lot.

Disclaimer-I do not own Hetalia…or Apple…or Fantasy Hockey…but I do like hockey…

Fantasy Hockey

"Wisconsin, would you please stop pouting?" America had the force the sigh out of his voice. His regular Skype calls with all of his state's had been complicated by the fact he was currently in Russia and the whole situation was starting to make everyone cranky. "I know you wanted to go to the Winter Olympics but it wasn't your turn."

"Papa, I maybe younger than you, but I'm not a whiny kid anymore." The state said with a roll of their eyes.

"Really, then what is bothering you." The nation replied sarcastically, but the state didn't give him the biting response he had expected. Instead they paused and blushed.

"Promise not to laugh?"

"Of course." America replied honestly.

"Pennsylvania fantasy hockey team totally creamed mine this past week." The Wisconsin admitted quietly, refusing to meet America's eyes. "I know that I'm being petty and immature about this, and if it Minnesota, or BC, or I don't know maybe Massachusetts I could understand, but Pennsylvania? I'm totally more into hockey than Pennsylvania."

"Why don't you let me take a look at your team, sweetheart?" The state complied, pulling up their team on their iPad and walking America through the finer details of their set up. By the end, the nation figured out what had happened. "I think it is the Olympics that are messing with your stats. You have a good variety of nationalities on your team while Pen mainly has players from Finland and Sweden on theirs. Finland and Sweden are both at the tops of the Olympic brackets so of course their players are going to perform well in the fantasy league, but when the Olympics end that advantage will be lost.

"So you think that I my team will go back to doing well once the regular season starts up again?"

"I am sure that you will." America said with a chuckle.

"Thanks Papa, I feel a lot better now."

State successfully comforted, America excused himself from the conversation and turned off the computer. He flipped off the lights and crawled under the covers with the image of his Wisconsin's toothy grin still fresh in his memory.

End Note- Go Hockey!
