A/N: I changed Prussia's character. He's not just an unnamed Laughingstock crew member, he's now Milo, Poppy's brother in the Candle Cove show! I don't when he'll show up because I don't ever plan my stories. Ever. In the history of ever. I only have a small concept of what I want to happen and a few scenes that I often don't use because it doesn't go the way I wanted. For example, in The Adoration of Kiku Honda (a recent romance fic I've finished), Francis was supposed to work at a museum (I had this weird obsession for Hugo at the time so don't blame me. Still gotta see that movie) and they would stay together there. ^^ Yeah... nope.

But I digress.

Also, if I start calling the countries by their names in this reality, don't blame me. For some reason I keep wanting to give them their names in this world, not the other. You don't know how many times I've called Sealand Janice when I was describing her actions or whatever. I also found out that Poppy was the captain in the series and Percy was the courier, not the captain. Oh silly me.

Episode 3 - Captain Eyebrows


Sealand didn't sleep well that night. Or rather, at all. She was too busy thinking about this Captain Eyebrows. There was no way it WASN'T her brother England! She wondered if he knew about their world or he was just like the others. She hoped he remembered their argument before she came here. Or at least, if he was almost very similar to what he was in their world.

Just not a jerk.

...she couldn't imagine him. Sealand sat up in her bed and climbed out. She quietly walked up above deck and saw Romano, or Kent B. Trusted, as he was lovingly referred to in this world, was scribbling something down on a piece of paper. As he finished, he pushed it into a bottle and closed it off with a cork before throwing it into the sea. "God speed, bottle," he muttered, too quietly for Sealand to hear. "Master Skin Taker and Horace Horrible need to know this."

"K-Kent?" Sealand whispered.

Romano Trusted flipped around, spotting Sealand. "Janice! When did you get here?"

Sealand rubbed her hands nervously. "Just now. Isn't your shift over?" she asked.

Kent nodded. "Yes, but I couldn't sleep. Too many thoughts in my head." he replied. "You too?"

Sealand nodded in return. "Yeah. I'm just so eager to see my brother."

Romano narrowed his eyes. "Despite the fact he said he hated you?"

"He's always like that. Like he has this secret relationship with this one guy-"

"Secret WHAT?"

"Nothing."

Romano let it go. "Well, hopefully you'll see him." he said. "Family's the only thing you have in the world."

"I suppose." she said. "So... do you have any family?"

Romano shook his head. "Never really had one. Of course, my old crew was my family, but they're gone now."

"Drowned?"

"Most assured."

"I-I'm sorry." Sealand muttered, quickly hugging Romano Trusted.

Romano's eyes widened for a moment. "I-It's fine. At least I still have Nathan. He's been like a big brother to me."

"You know... you could be part of our family, if you want." Sealand suggested. "When someone joins the crew we become family."

A look of indecisiveness flashed across his face. "Er..." he murmured. "I suppose we could."

Sealand smiled. "Good. I can be your little sister!" she said.

Romano very slowly began to smile as well. "I-I'd like that."

Sealand walked over to the side of the ship and looked over. "It's so calm at night."

"Yeah," Romano agreed. He glanced at Sealand, who was now looking intently at the calm waters. Surely he could just push her into the water? Perhaps choke her enough until she passes out and claim she left? An expression of sorrow crossed his face. "Sealand..."

The girl glanced at Romano. "Bro?"

"Be careful of Horace and Skin Taker. I have a feeling they're going to meet us tomorrow when we look for Captain Eyebrows." he said.

Sealand gave Romano Trusted an odd look, but nodded. "I always watch out for them" she replied. "They want me dead. They want my SKIN..."

"We'll make sure they don't get you, Janice." Romano assured.

She smiled again and hugged him. "Thanks."

Romano patted her head. "It's no p-problem..."

"And please call me Sealand."

In the morning, Sealand and the crew were woken up to start their preparations for the scouting mission to find Captain Eyebrows. "Hopefully we'll find your brother today, Janice!" Germany said, rubbing her back before turning his attention back to the crew.

Nathan greeted her. "Good morning, Sealand! How was your sleep?"

She shrugged. "I didn't sleep until around four."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I, however, slept like a rock." He glanced at his former first mate, who followed behind him. "And you, Kent?"

Kent sighed. "Just as bad as Sealand's, I'm afraid."

"Hm, I wonder why you two had such an awful sleep. Well, that doesn't matter now! We have preparations to make!" Spain walked off to First Mate Germany for his orders with Romano in tow.

Sealand sat down on a crate, thinking about the scenarios in which could occur during their trip. She hardly noticed the time fly by as they soon neared the shore of Candle Cove. "Be prepared for landing!" Germany said to Sealand, who jumped at his voice.

"Oh, got it!" She stood up and looked towards the shore. "My brother might be on that shore..."

A group of five (Sealand, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romano) left the ship. "Where do you think Captain Eyebrows could be?" Germany asked Sealand.

"Maybe where you found me. That'd be a good place to start." Sealand said.

Germany blinked. "Hmm... where was that again?"

"I think..." Sealand looked around the shore. "It's somewhere around here. I think I'll know it..."

The first mate seemed skeptical, but nodded. They walked around for at least an hour before Sealand stopped them. "I think someone's here."

"How can you tell, chica?" Nathan asked curiously.

"It's just one of those feelings, you know?"

"...if you think so." First Mate Germany said.

They all began to look around the area, scanning for the people Sealand had apparently sensed. Scuttling feet were heard every so often, but no one could decide where they had come from.

Germany turned to Sealand. "Janice, it appears no one is here." he said.

She sighed. "I-I suppose you're right."

The eery sound of many guns cocking at once filled the air. The crew turned around and saw a group of armed men with their guns pointed at them all. "Wrong."

"Who are you?" Germany demanded over Percy's hysterical shrieks.

"We're the crew of Cap'n Fish 'n' Chips!" answered one man, who Sealand swore she recognized.

"Who in the world is that?" Romano asked, shaking horribly.

The man glared. "It's not important. Come with us! The boss'll want to see you."

Sealand glanced at all her friends, frightened. "Guys, I'm sorry. I didn't know this would happen!"

"It's all right, Janice. We'll get out of this. We always do." Germany assured her.

They marched towards a large boulder. Three of the men stepped forward and began to push the rock until an entrance was open. The crew of Captain Fish 'n' Chips pushed them all in. "Who 'ave we 'ere?" asked a man with a surprisingly thick British accent.

"It appears to be some bloody pirate crew," one man explained. "We think they was lookin' for the treasure we buried!

The with the thick accent stepped into the light. It was England! "Glad you caught 'em, Barnabas. I thank ye for tha'." England Fish 'n' Chips said.

Spain gasped. "C-Captain Eyebrows!" he exclaimed.

England seemed displeased by Spain's outburst. "It's Cap'n Fish 'n' Chips, ya bloody git. Why do yeh insist on callin' me tha'?" he hissed.

"My first mate told that was your name!"

"YOUR FIRST MATE IS A BLOODY JACKOFF!" England shouted, punching Nathan hard.

Spain fell backwards. Sealand ran to the Spaniard and helped him up. "A-Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

He held his eye. "I'll be fine." He turned to England. "I meant no disrespect, Captain Fish 'n' Chips." he said. "I didn't know that was your name."

England Fish 'n' Chips narrowed his eyes. "Eh... whatever. I at least know your name, Cap'n Nathan. Your ship is The Fried Green Tomato, is it?"

Nathan nodded. "Yes sir."

"Well, I didn't expect to see yeh again." he said. "But really, 'ow unfair are ye to take a pirate's treasure when tha's all 'e 'ad? Ye know that my ship, The Burnt Crumpet, was destroyed by tha' bloody Skin Taker."

"I know how you feel, Captain Fish 'n' Chips." Nathan said. "Skin Taker recently destroyed mine."

England Fish 'n' Chops raised an eyebrow. "Is tha' so?" he asked. "Well, ye and me are on the same page, I see. But it still doesn't dignify what ye 'ad been tryin' ta do."

First Mate Germany jumped in now. "But we weren't trying to take your treasure! We were actually just looking for you!"

"Why in bloody 'ell would you?" he asked angrily.

"Because..." Sealand began as she shyly stepped forward.

England Fish 'n' Chips bent down so he was face level with her. "Because why, little bird? Ye think ya know what us grownups are sayin'?"

"You're my brother!" she burst out.

England blinked, surprised and frowned. "What?"

Sealand repeated herself. "You're my brother, Captain Fish 'n' Chips."

"Oh, tha's a bloody lie!" Barnabas objected.

Sealand glanced at Barnabas and realized it was her eldest brother, Scotland. "You're my brother too!" she said. She looked around at the rest of the crew. It contained, as she now realized, Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia. All people England once had control over. "What the bloody 'ell are ya spoutin'?" Ireland hissed, his eyes narrowed.

The rest of his crew jumped in in insulting her, as she felt tears starting to fill her eyes. She felt so stupid around these oblivious people. "Oh well, come now, let 'er explain a little!" England objected. He glanced at Sealand. "Now, what's all this yer talkin' about?"

"Um, well, see, I came from this place, right- well, it's more like another world, and every here is a country. You guys-" -she pointed to England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland- "-are my older brothers. And you two-" - she motioned towards Australia and New Zealand- "-were once territories of Captain Fish 'n' Chips, or as he's called in my world England. You crew guys' names are Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. They're all countries, just like England is. My name is Sealand. I'm a country too. Well, I hope to be. Right now I'm a micronation, which is like a nation, but no one acknowledges me as a country. I know it sounds stupid but it's true. It's all true! And I wish I could show you, but I have no way home to my world!"

Everyone was silent, for both confusion and shock. "Well, little bird, tha's quite a mouthful ye said." England said. "And I do believe ye."

The crew of England then found their tongues. "WHAT?-!" they all shrieked.

"SHUT UP! Anyways, I want ye to stay 'ere for a few days so I can learn more about my little bird." he said.

Sealand blinked. "Really?"

The crew of The Laughingstock then found their tongues. "No, don't do it, Janice!" they objected.

"Please guys, I might want to stay with my big brothers." Sealand said to them.

Spain put his hands on both her shoulders. "Please don't go, Sealand. I think it's trap!"

Romano nodded. "Yes! Please, do not leave!"

Italy was shaking his head violently. "Please, please, please, I don't want to be alone. Don't leave, don't leave, we love you, and I'll be scared of facing problems without you, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go, DON'T GO!" he shrieked.

Germany stepped towards her. "Percy's right. Don't go, Janice. Don't trust these men."

Sealand frowned, suddenly indecisive. "Guys..." She glance back at England. "I... need to go with my brother. This is my chance to patch things up with him."

Everyone still seemed upset, but nodded. "We understand, Janice." Germany said sadly. "But please visit us soon if you can."

"I will, guys." she said.

"I'd love to have ye all over for longer, but my little bird should really be settlin' in." England Fish 'n' Chips said, waving towards the door.

The crew of The Laughingstock left, feeling slightly betrayed by their trusted friend.
