A/N: ADHDFETYNCBD sorry I haven't updated four people who follow my story. D: I just haven't had the time and not to mention when I do have the time I don't want to write, but now I will because then I won't feel so bad.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but Pirate!England looks just like what everyone makes Pirate!England look like... except slightly less intricately designed. This is like a kids' show. Also, the mention of Captain Mathias -that's Denmark. I just randomly mentioned him because I had to come up with some random nation to have his own ship.

Enjoy!

Candle Cove - Episode 4 - A Tale of Two (Newly Introduced) Siblings

After The Laughingstock crew had left, Fish 'n' Chips hugged Sealand. "Good ta know I got meself some flesh 'n' blood around 'ere!" he said happily.

Sealand smiled awkwardly and nodded. "Yeah," she agreed quietly.

"Now, if you's gonna be stayin' here, let me introduce ya to the crew!" England said, picking her up and setting her down on a flat rock. England pushed New Zealand forward. He was wearing some sort of weird fabric. "This is Lambskin. He likes to wear skins made of-"

"I get it," Sealand said uncomfortably.

Her brother chuckled and pushed Lambskin away and motioned for Wales and Ireland to step forward. "This is Willy," England said, pointing to Wales, "an' this is Freckles."

He pointed at Australia. "Ova there is Cody, and you already know Barnabas."

Sealand looked around. "Um... nice to meet you all." she said.

England sat down on the ground beside Sealand's rock. "Tell me, what's yer world like? What's our 'lationship there?"

Sealand tapped her chin, trying to think. Her world seemed so distant. "Well... it's very nice, I suppose. We all live in our individual nations, unless you're a child or you're territory of another country. Me being a child, I live with you. We haven't been getting along. You hate that I think I deserve to be a country and I hate how you put me down all the time. You yell at me constantly and I want to run away but I don't know where I'd go so I put my nation up for sale of eBay and I hope someone will buy me so-"

"E...bay...?" Fish 'n' Chips spaced out the foreign words, confused. "What's tha'?"

"It's a market where people sell anything you could imagine." she replied.

England blinked. "Oh. Got it! Anyways, shame we don't get along there. But who cares? I like ye 'ere!"

Sealand smiled. "I think I like you too, big brother."

"Big brotha..." England echoed. "I like that! Now wha' do I call ye. L'il sista?"

Sealand shrugged. "Usually younger nations are just referred to their names."

"Well, I'll still call ye l'il sista."

She frowned. "Um, okay."

England snapped his fingers. "Ooh! Enough talkin'! We should go check to see if me treasure's all righ'!" he said. "You can come wif, l'il sista!"

Sealand slid off the rock. "Sure, big brother."

Fish 'n' Chips grinned. "Then let's go!" He nodded towards New Zealand, Scotland, and Ireland, who soon headed over to their captain. "You is comin' wif me."

They all saluted and said "Aye aye, cap'n!"

"Willy an' Cody, y'all is stayin' here." England said to Australia and Wales, who nodded.

England walked out of his cave with his sister and his three crew members following behind. He pulled a paper scroll out of his left breast pocket in his red jacket. He unfurled it and studied it. "M'kay... so... it should be near a big blue palm tree." he said.

"A blue palm tree?" Sealand echoed skeptically. "I don't think-"

England stopped her. "It should be jus' fifty paces north!" he said, pointing to north of them.

"Are you sure that-" Fish 'n' Chips started to march off, ignoring his sister again. Lambskin grabbed Sealand by the hand and dragged her along. She sighed and as soon as they'd walked fifty paces, they'd reached their blue palm tree. "This is where my treasure is!" England said excitedly. "Let's start digging!"

Sealand looked at them. "You forgot the shovels."

Freckles pulled out a couple shovels. "Nah. We's prepared, lassie." he said. "We's professional pirates."

He handed a shovel to Lambskin and one to Barnabas, then they all started to dig. After several minutes of nonstop digging, they hit something. "We got it!" Barnabas cried happily. Freckles pulled out the chest and England grinned. "Aha, so it's all righ'!" he proclaimed, opening the chest. "Yep, 'sall 'ere."

Sealand gasped when she saw all the treasure. "Wow... you have so much treasure!" she exclaimed.

Fish 'n' Chips smiled. "I know." He dug through the chest, and eventually pulled out a pearl necklace. He handed it to Sealand. "'ere ya go, l'il sista!"

The young girl accepted the necklace. "T-Thank you, big brother!"

"Heh, 'sno prob'm." England said.

Sealand put it over her head. It hung pretty low since it was a rather large necklace, but this made her more content. She smiled at her big brother with such glee, and started to think she might not want to return to her world, even if there was a monstrous Russian skeleton that wanted her skin lurking in this world.

~Candle Cove~

Everyone was moping on The Laughingstock. Even Nathan, one of the happiest crew members, was moping about. Their friend Janice had made them so happy, and now she'd left them for her suspicious brother and his crew. Percy was helpless, as Janice was the thing that made him the tiniest bit brave. Poppy tried to cheer the crew up best he could, but often failed. They eventually docked at a recently discovered trading island, Cheesecake Reef. They'd nothing to trade, but they could buy a few supplies they'd been running low on. Poppy and Percy walked about, passing random pirates who shot glares at them for whatever reason they had, bought a stock of food and drink, before quickly heading back to their ship. They hadn't a good impression of the marketplace so far.

"These guys were rude," Poppy remarked. "We just wanted some food and soda, that's all."

Percy sniffled. "They were scary mean guys."

Poppy patted Percy on the shoulder and stood up. "We should set sail, but we can stop after we're clear out of this horrible place." The other crew members sadly agreed and let up the anchor. They sailed out of port and far away. Eventually, they let down the anchor again and all the crew members (sabe for Percy, who was practicing that cursed piano again) headed down below deck to unwind. Poppy headed over to a barrel filled with food against one of the walls. "I just need something quick to eat. Anyone else?" A couple of crew members quietly said they were hungry, so Poppy opened up the barrel. Once he'd opened it, he gasped. Nathan walked over to Poppy. "What is it?" he asked, glancing into the barrel himself. "Oh!"

A man peeked out of the barrel. "Haha... hello." he said nervously.

Poppy removed the man from out of the barrel. "And who might you be?" he demanded.

"It's only been twenty years, Poppy." replied the man, smirking. "Don't you remember your awesome older brother?"

Poppy stopped. "Brother?" he echoed, like he'd never heard the word before. He studied the man, starting with his silver hair and red eyes down to his shoes. "...Milo?"

Milo grinned. "Spot on, little bro."

Poppy grinned back. "I-I can't believe it's you! After all these years..." His voice slowly trailed off.

"...You didn't think we'd find each other again?" Milo finished.

Poppy nodded. "Right. In fact, I thought you were..." he said, pausing at the end, "...dead."

Milo shrugged. "Makes sense. Twenty years can be quite eventful." he said. "Kesesese! At least we're together again!"

The younger brother sighed happily. "I even missed your laugh."

"Of course you did! My laugh is awesome!" replied the elder. He put his arm around Poppy's shoulder. "So, this your crew? They're very well behaved. So quiet." The crew members blushed from embarrassment. "I also like your ship."

Poppy shook his head. "No, this isn't my ship, but as well be. I practically run The Laughingstock by myself."

"The Laughingstock? Nice name for a ship." Milo commented.

"I agree, Milo-san. I do have a nice name," said The Laughingstock.

Milo seemed slightly disturbed by the ship talking, but ignored it. "So, you basically run it yourself, huh? Lazy captain, I assume?"

"...No." Poppy said. "Pirate Percy's just... a coward, is all."

As if almost on cue, Percy headed below deck where they all were. "Poppy, can I have an app- OH MY GOSH!" Percy screamed and fainted at the sight of Milo.

Poppy looked at Percy, then to Milo. "See hat I put up with? ...anyways, he can't size up to anything without the help of Janice."

The elder blinked. "Janice?"

"Oh! Janice was a little girl who used to stay here on The Laughingstock. We went on adventures with her, then she left, but a few days ago, she came back. She's been acting a little weird, saying that her name isn't Janice, but... what'd she say it was?" He glanced at the crew members but they all shrugged, except for Nathan, who stepped forward. "Her name is Sealand, sir."

Poppy snapped. "That's it! Sealand. Thank you, Nathan." Nathan nodded, and Poppy continued. "She says her names' Sealand and she's a country, but I think she just has an overactive imagination. How could anyone be a country?

"Anyways, she was our friend, and just today she left us again for her older brother, Captain Fish 'n' Chips, but none of us trust him. Something about him is just... off. I can't put my finger on it." Poppy said.

Kent B. Trusted swallowed hard. "I hate to put this possibility into your mind, but maybe he's working for Skin Taker." he said quietly.

Milo jumped. "S-S-Sk-Skin T-Taker?" he echoed, stuttering horribly. "H-He's b-back?"

Poppy nodded. "Yes, Milo. He's recently returned, trying to skin Janice like usual." Milo was shaking along with stuttering now. His knees buckled under him and he fell to the floor.

Poppy slid to his knees, a worried expression crossing his face. "M-Milo, what's wrong?" he asked. "I know, Skin Taker's scary, but-"

"I-I-I..." Milo wet his lips. "...W-worked u-u-under that thing f-f-for so long... I only recently escaped after he was killed by some brave captain, whose name I never caught..." Milo had started to calm down now. "I arrived at Cheesecake Reef when a captain I started working for named Mathias stopped there. He let me leave his crew and I started working at the market. When you came in my boss's shop for food, I couldn't resist seeking you out. I put myself in one of your barrels because I knew my boss wouldn't let me off.

"N-Now, I'm here. I felt safe doing this since Skin Taker was gone and Horace Horrible and his crew scattered... but now that I know that Skin Taker is back... and Horace probably got the crew back together... I'm..." His voice lowered to a whisper. "I'm scared, Poppy."

Poppy stared at his brother for a moment, before softly patting his shoulder reassuringly. "It's okay, Milo. Skin Taker'll be killed again. This time, though... we'll make sure he's dead forever."

A/N: FINALLY! I got this done! I am so sorry! I hate when I don't update for long periods of time!

But now I am inspired to write again. I also feel like this is the best chapter yet... but I don't know. What do you guys think?

Yay! I introduced Milo, a.k.a. Prussia! Also, I literally wrote an entire section just using their pirate names. I figured it was okay since Sealand wasn't there and she was the one who saw the countries, not the pirates. Glad to write again! :D Hopefully, I'll see you soon!
