Narrator lady: I don't think we need a recap, D.C. and America just got into a fight.

A/N) SO HELLO MY FELLOW HETALINS! Anyways I posted the side story that goes along with this called "Diary of a Rebel." it follows Confederate America in the years after she lost the war!

"Like no way am I the idiot!"

"Watch your mouth!" D.C. spat at him shaking her head. "now you see why I lived with Canada for a while!"

"Now what makes Canada so great? Why don't you just go live with him!"

"It's freezing up there!" she said folding her arms into her chest. "Oh yeah, since you won't let me have a country I fired your boss. So now I am operating out of this big house in the middle of Washington D.C.!"

"You fired my boss!"

"Clearly I'm qualified for ordering you around like a hunting dog. Plus, he wanted to toss ya like a broken sofa."

"Why don't you go back to Spain since you like him so much, then you can leave me alone!"

"Please!" Belle hissed under her breath looking her brother in the eyes. "I forget you have no idea what it's like to have you're whole life a custody battle."

"France fought over me too!"

"Have you seen Spain? That boy can't shoot a shot of shine much less a pint!"

"No one can drink that much of that stuff!"

"I can!"

"You need help Belle."

"No I ain't needing it!" she hissed taking a step back as she looked at her brother in horror.

"Relax sis!" he shouted in a louder tone.

"I am clean!" She whispered holding her arm out while pulling her sleeve up. "I don't need any help Alfie."

"Belle." he snapped shaking his head. "girl you need to get your priorities straight!"

"No I dont! I am where I need to be!"

"Please." he said in more of a hushed tone as Belle slightly relaxed her muscles. She sprung forward and wrapped him in a hug tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"I don't want us to end up almost killing each other."

"Sis." Alfred said lightly hugging her back careful of the next choice of words. "Do you really think I could kill you?"

"I've seen it, you could."

"Come here." he said shallowly and softly rubbing her arm. "Spain kicked you out?"

"Yeah, that little fly swatter! My dear Confederate if you ever need anything just let me know. Lier."

"France?"

"I would rather sleep in a cactus than stay with Frenchie." she exaggerated a shiver and shook her head. "I was glad when he finally gave me away."

"But he got you back didn't he?"

"Some of my territory, most stayed with Spain."

"Then you got me." she sighed with a low tone. "then, I was the rabies ridden possum that decided to break free."

"I..." Alfred said breaking the hug to look confused into her eyes. "have no idea what that means.."

"Northern folks!" Belle yelled to herself rolling her eyes. "it means basically I was the stupid one who wanted to break free!"

"Happened before." he said shrugging. "We all need to break the tie eventually."

"United States, not North and South, or Union and Confederate."

"Belle, things were changing and you were like totally going crazy and all. Plus it was too big of a change for all at once."

"Nah." she said with a smirk on her face. "I just wanted to make you mad."
