Crystal: welcome back to another chapter

Recording day 2

''Recording day 2 so exciting", the teacher beamed before they all got back to the mansion home. They shut the curtains as it was still full on morning and lit the candles. "Action!"

"Girls, why don't you sleep? We'll talk in the morning", Roberto said heading to his room with no other word. The girls stared at him suspicious, but decided not to question and left for the room they shared. In the morning, the curtains were full open and the light shined on the faces of the three sleeping girls. "Marissa, let's not wake Gwendolyn. She didn't sleep very well, but we should go play outside", Felicia suggested with a huge puppy dog look. Marissa sighed and nodded with a smile.

"we should wear our cute new summer dresses father bought us", Felicia suggested brightly. Marissa nodded running up to the drawers and pulling out a pink summer dress with puffy sleeves and handed it to Felicia. the dress looked for younger teens as Felicia was 14 it was perfect for her. Marissa however was 15 , but was already very well developed having well defined curves.

she took out a yellow strapless dress with white squares. she then took out a small sweater those with sleeves only three fourths of your arm long and were only reaching half way down your back and not further. "can you do my hair in braids?", Felicia asked. "of course", Marissa smiled. she seperated Felicia's hair into two seperate braids. She just braided one side of her hair until she had a French braid. Felicia had become impatient and pulled Marissa outside, but just as they reached the outside they saw the three men that had seen last night at the dinner party in front of them along with their father.

"Ahh, just in time my dears and well presented with the dresses I bought you", Roberto smiled at them. "What a-are they doing h-here?" Felicia said clinging to Marissa in fear. "My dears, you are going to have to go with those men. Dears, I don't have any money to sustain you anymore. They paid me good money for you and you will be married to their sons", Robert explained with a smile. Marissa's eyes widened and tears streamed down her eyes. "You monster! Why?! We're your daughters and all you cared about was raising us so you could bargain and sell us?!" she screamed outraged.

"I never felt love for you! You were the reasons your mother neglected me. I hated you the most, Felicia. You were the one who took away your mother's life", Robert snarled. "N-No, I…" Felicia began crying in tears. "I almost thought about killing you, but seeing as the other two weren't ugly and I was out of money by then, I thought I could sell you when you were of good age. Thank these gentlemen that have been giving me money for years to feed you up to this day", Robert said hysterically laughing. Marissa pulled Felicia against her and shook her head as the men neared them.

Frank pulled Marissa away from Felicia who was being pulled by Benjamin. "No! Felicia! Don't take her!" Marissa yelled thrashing. Gwendolyn came out in all the commotion and saw her sister being taken. "No! Stop! Let them go!" Gwendolyn yelled, but was grabbed by Franciscan. "Please, let us be one more day together and we promise we'll leave with you! But please let us be one more day so we can pack things up!" Gwendolyn begged in tears. The men stopped. It seemed a bit reasonable. They didn't want to seem all that evil. "Fine, but we will be back to get you tomorrow. Robert, lock them in the same room, Da?" Benjamin smiled menacingly.

"Ja, I will", Robert nodded pulling the three girls into the piano room and locking the door. "I will pack you little wretch's things", he said from the door. Marissa and Felicia hugged Gwendolyn tightly. "Gwendolyn, why is this happening?" Felicia asked in tears. "I'm hopeful that things will be alright. We'll be together again", Gwendolyn sniffed wiping away Felicia's tears. "It'll be just fine okay", she looked at Marissa also wiping her tears.

Gwendolyn stood up and sat in the chair in front of the piano, and began to play a soft tune as Felicia and Marissa sat next to her. "It's a little bit funny… this feeling inside~" Gwendolyn began to sing softly. "I'm not of those who can…easily hide. I don't have much money, but boy if I did…I'd buy a big house where~ we three ( changed that word of the song from both to three) could live", Gwendolyn brought a hand up and moved it in front of her as if picturing a house she could buy.

"So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do. See I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue. Anyway the thing is what I really mean; yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen", Felicia sang softly as well. "And you can tell everybody, this is your song~ It may be quite simple, but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind, that I put it in words~", Marissa paused slightly. "How wonderful~...life is…now you're in the world~", she continued.

"If I was a sculptor, but then again no. Or a girl who make potions in a traveling show. I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song~ and this one's for you", Gwendolyn sang as she continued hitting the keys of the piano softly. They joined together letting out soft "oh's" into the song, Marissa's voice getting louder than Felicia's and Gwendolyn's. The next line was sung by Felicia and Marissa, "and you can tell everybody…this is your song~ it may be quite simple, but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind. How I put it in words~"

"How wonderful~…life is...now you're in the world", Alice finished gently taking her fingers away from the piano she had played as a girl with her mother and Marissa before Felicia was born. Sure their mother died after the birth of Felicia, but they love Felicia. They would never blame her for their mother's death. Even their mother in heaven would be very saddened if they did. Felicia had taken up her looks to perfection. It was a healthy reminder.

Gwendolyn led the dosing girls to the couch they had in the room as both Marissa and Felicia laid their heads on her knees. Tomorrow would be a day they regretted, but maybe just maybe they could escape. She leaned her head back and fell asleep as well.

~~movie morning forward :D~~

The door was opened as the three men came in and startled them. "Time's up", Frank smiled. The girls stood up resigned. They gave each other a tight hug before they were led to three separate carriages. "Gwendolyn promise you'll come for us", Marissa whispered in tears. "I promise", Gwendolyn squeezed her hand before the carriage with Marissa rode away. "Good bye, Gwendolyn. Felicia!" Marissa yelled from her parting carriage

Side line: Ms. Keller actually began to cry. They acted as though they were actually being separated forever. "They're so good", Ms. Keller whispered to Antonio who nodded in agreement. Alfred was partying in his place at how realistic they were.

~~Back to focus on Lovina's ride~~

"So tell me dear, what's your favorite color? " Frank asked brightly. Marissa felt a bit safe and she mumbled, "Red, sir". "Ahh, then you're very much going to like my Marco. His favorite color is red also", he smiled warmly. Marissa was a bit surprised. She had expected the man to be bitter and cold to her. As if reading her mind he chuckled, "Don't worry child. I cared for you for about 5 years of your life. I became very fond of you. It hurt me that you didn't remember me. Remember Mr. Leon?" he smiled. She thought about it and then she smiled. "You're Mr. Leon?!" He nodded and she embraced him in a hug. "I thought you were dead. Father told me so", she whispered.

"I assure you I'm healthy. You're going to love it there and then when you get married to Marco you'll be living a very, very, comfortable life full of luxuries more than your father could ever provide", frank smiled. Marissa's smile faltered, "I still have to marry him?" she asked sniffing. "Yes dear, it's for the better if you are with Marco", he placed a hand in her shoulder. She didn't want to get married. She was still too young. "When?" she asked. "Actually it's today. The father is just waiting for you to arrive. You'll just have to sign the papers and you will be married to Marco", Frank said to her. She wanted to burst into tears, but she remembered that Gwendolyn would come for her so they could escape.

They arrived to a mansion much bigger than her own and they got off as Frank offered her to take his arm. She did so obediently and they entered to find a father at the end of a huge living room. There was teen boy waiting there. (It's Antonio. Spare me the description) He wore a long red coat over a black button down shirt tucked into a pair of white pants. He had a pair of black shows that looked very expensive by the look of the leather. He pulled out his hand to her and she looked at his eyes before taking it and looking forward at the father who explained to them where to sign.

Once they signed, the father allowed the boy she knew was Marco to kiss her. He actually leaned down and kissed her on the lips softly. She felt her heart flutter. She was actually starting to like the boy and she hadn't even met him well. "From today and on, you're my wife, Marissa Johnson de Leon. I promise you I will do everything in my power to make you happy and eventually love me. You aren't alone anymore. I will always protect you", he smiled brightly and spoke for the first time since the whole ceremony that he was serious and said nothing. She smiled lightly and nodded. "Thank you", she whispered. She really wished she would eventually love this boy that looked extremely kind and caring.

~~xXXx~~

Gwendolyn had a different approach she despised the Frenchman that was currently dragging her to the teen she was being forced to marry. (Alfred is Marcus) once they had signed the papers Marcus had literally carried her to the carriage where they were to be transported to their secluded home. She whined the whole way scowling while the boy only chuckled at how feisty she was. Felicia was actually treated coldly and was threatened by the man as she was led to the blonde teen. (Ludwig is Ricardo). She had signed the papers shakily and once they were in the carriage she burst into tears.

Ricardo, her now husband soothed her and assured her that his father was only doing it for his benefit to threaten her. "You shouldn't fear him. He's always been like that, but he's very kind once you get to know him. Don't worry Felicia from today and forth, I will care for you and treat you like the princess you are. You're beautiful and should never stain your face with tears", he said smiling at her. She came to realize that Ricardo was extremely sweet and caring and eventually she turned up kissing him before they reached their new house, Ricardo, blushing furiously.

~~Movie time skip~~

Gwendolyn and Marcus sat in the swing of their home. They had fallen deeply in love even after Gwendolyn tried to remain cold, but he won her heart after many months. So much was the love for each other they gave themselves heart and body and Gwendolyn ended up pregnant at such a young age. "Who knew things would turn up like this?" Gwendolyn smiled kissing Marcus softly. "Yeah, I'm glad you love me as much as I love you", he chuckled. "That is why I'm glad I got to become Lady Gwendolyn Johnson Henderson. This child her in my stomach will be pleased as well", she chuckled.

"I love you", he whispered placing his forehead on hers, "Do you believe me?" he touched her cheek. She nodded, "I believe you", Gwendolyn responded before they met in a kiss.

He laughed placing a hand fondly on her belly. Gwendolyn's thoughts directed to her sister and Marcus took notice of this. "What's wrong, love?" he asked worriedly. "Well you know I really miss my sisters. I haven't seen them since we got separated and with the baby and all I haven't been able to have time to write to them", she said sadly. "I have a surprise. Actually the boys your sisters married are my best friends and I invited them to dinner", Marcus kissed her forehead. "Really?! Marcus, that's wonderful news. I love you so much", she grinned kissing him once more.

~~xXXx~~

(1)That night, Marissa met up with her sisters crying in joy. Marissa and Felicia beamed at the news that they would soon become aunts. The men chatted about how their wedded life was going, until the door was broken down and they were taken since they found out their father had bargained them in a whore house as well. They were forced to dress in unwanted clothes and were almost violated ,but their husbands managed to save them. They wanted to finalize their wedding and they all got married in a church. Gwendolyn had her child and the three couples began and artistic career traveling around Europe.

~~xXXx~~

"Finally, we're done", Lovino sighed lying down on her bed . Arthur chuckled, "It wasn't that bad". "I know, but it was very exhausting" Lovino huffed. "At least I'm excited about the inauguration today", Feliciano beamed as he fixed her bow tie. "Whatever, I don't even feel like going", Lovino sighed, but got up to fix her wig. They heard a knock at their door and opened to find their boyfriends waiting for them looking as handsome as ever. Lovino and Arthur rolled their eyes, seeing Antonio and Alfred wink at them and wiggle their eye brows.

They were led to the jet as they were heading to London's public theater were many of the schools around would witness or perform a part of their play. They sat in a secluded area at the top while the others students looked up at them with envy at the luxury they were getting. What did the brats expect? They were filthy rich and for that reason sat at the top. The ceremony began with a man in his forties opening the event, "Welcome students to the annual cultural competition. I am pleased to be here to see the great work of all of you. Now we will begin with the performances", the man nodded as everyone began to clap.

The first play was a disaster. It was a humpty dumpty play and many of the actors forgot their lines. It got almost the whole auditorium in exception of the school those students belonged to laughing the butts off. Arthur, Feliciano, and Lovino could barely contain the laughter and much less the tears from the exceeding ridiculousness. The next plays were just as horrible and no one would even clap. As good sportsmen, Arthur, Lovino, and Feliciano along with their school clapped for all plays getting the other students to give them funny look. They probably thought that if they were clapping that they thought it was a good performance and theirs would be lame, but they were so wrong.

The teacher ordered them to follow down stairs at a section, next to all the schools, that had been specifically been separated from them. They then noticed the ceremony was on live TV. "Cool, we're on TV!" Alfred said excitedly. Just then they heard the sound of the song Alice played on the piano for the song "your song", only words went over it as a projector came down. "Now for the presentation of Hetalia talent Academy High School", the man smiled. The projector was completely down and the song Arthur played got louder, but words began to be spoken. It was words she had spoken at the beginning. The trailer went a bit like this with the song of "Your song" playing the whole time in the back ground:

Felicia: "Gwendolyn, are you okay?"

Gwendolyn: "Yes, I was just wondering. Don't you wish that you could be free? You know travel around the world singing like we've always wanted to. Be able to do what you always wanted to do and never be judged for it?"

The scene faded and went to a new scene where the girls were trying to be separated by the three men.

Marissa: "You monster! Why?! We're your daughters and all you cared about was raising us so you could bargain and sell us?!" then it faded again to the music room where the piano was.

Felicia: "Gwendolyn, why is this happening?" Gwendolyn: "It'll be just fine, okay?"

It faded to the scene where they part ways and were hugging each other tightly. Marissa hugged Gwendolyn tightly Marissa: "Gwendolyn promise you'll come for us" She was shown squeezing Marissa's hand in hers. Gwendolyn: "I promise" After that it faded to the different couples after their time together.

It showed Marco leaning down to kiss Marissa and whispering, Marco: "You aren't alone anymore. I will always protect you". Marissa was shown nodding. Marissa: "Thank you"

Then it went to Felicia's scene. Ricardo: "I will care for you and treat you like the princess you are" and finally it went to Gwendolyn's scene again.

Marcus: "I love you…" … "Do you believe me?" Gwendolyn: "I believe you" they were heard whispering as Marcus was shown putting a hand at Gwendolyn's stomach kissing her tenderly as Gwendolyn wrapped her arms around Marcus's neck. It ended there showing only Gwendolyn's mouth as she sang the last line of the song from the background.

Gwendolyn: "How wonderful~…life is…Now you're in the world".

The Screen went black and the name of the so called movie came up. It slowly appeared in Edwardian script and faded just as slowly and the trailer was done.

Arthur, Lovino, Feliciano, and the other were completely speechless. The whole auditorium was completely silent for a complete 2 minutes some with mouths agape. Suddenly the whole room burst into applause. "That was an amazing trailer. You guys acted amazing!" Antonio smiled brightly clapping. The three couldn't actually believe they were acting it felt as though that was their real story.

"Now I am proud to announce that the obvious winners by such an amazing and completely realistic trailer are the students of Hetalia Talent Academy High School!" the man that opened the ceremony cheered. Elizabetha came walking off as the students applauded. "Well, I'm pleases to accept this award. My students are nothing, but very hard working and even put the effort during the summer to be able to finish recording the movie before the ceremony had begun. As a great effort we will give you all a copy of this movie that has been approved by one of the companies to publish as a real movie", Elizabetha beamed.

They were more shocked. Their play was actually being released to the public and will be in the theaters soon. "We're getting there", Arthur nodded giving thumbs up to Lovino and Feliciano. "Freedom", Arthur chuckled. "And now we'd like to award our three protagonists on their female roles that made this movie successful. Please come up here our Gwendolyn being no other than Arthur Kirkland, Marissa is our dear Lovino Vargas, and finally our little innocent Felicia is our Feliciano Vargas", Elizabetha clapped. The three walked up the stage receiving what seemed replicas of the Oscar awards only it said Hetalia Talent Academy awards.

Arthur was first to speak and she made sure to make her voice sound deeper so they didn't doubt she was 'male'. "First of all, I'd like to thank our productions group. They were the ones that managed to make the movie as realistic as it is. Second of all, my best friends, Lovino and Feliciano were fantastic in setting up the mood and just thank you for this award. Third of all, I'd very much like to thank my boyfriend Alfred. He was my Marcus, and when I felt nervous in the scenes where we were supposed to be near each other he seemed to soothe me down so thank you, love", she finished as everyone clapped.

Lovino went up next, "Elaborating on what Arthur said here, the production was an awesome team who made me even gasp on how well the trailer was. Umm... I liked to thank my boyfriend Antonio, he was my Marco and I think kissing your own boyfriend is better than kissing any other classmate", she chuckled waving. Everyone seemed happy with Lovino's speech as they whistled and Antonio from a far shot him a kiss that made her blush. Feliciano went talking of embarrassing things Ludwig did and how much he loved him. "Ve~ My Ricardo was always very sweet. He's Ludwig, my boyfriend. Like Lovino said I didn't have to hold back kisses knowing I was to kiss my boyfriend", she giggled as everyone chuckled at that and clapped.

They smiled at each other. This was a reminder of the two years they have been in the academy.

Crystal: things are looking good for these three so far, right? Well spoiler is that will change next chapter.
