AN: Ello! Back with a new chappie! Enjoy!

For a moment, Kate and Arthur just stared at each other. A tentative silence hung over the room until Kate's mind caught up with her body and she leapt off of his lap.

"Oh my dear lord… I must be dreaming, I fell asleep on the bed and now I'm just suffering from jet lag!" Kate ranted as she looked anywhere but Arthur.

"Hang on there, are you Anna's friend Kaitlyn?" Arthur asked, going up in an effort to calm the young woman down. It seemed they had similar reactions to being teleported.

"Someone call my- KATE?!" both persons in the room turned to see Anna standing by the door, hot cup of coffee in her hand as she stared wide eyed at the girl in the night gown.

"A-Anna? You're alive?" Kate muttered in disbelief. It was so odd seeing Anna animated again- hang on, what did SHE look like? And Anna was alive… in Hetalia…

"Y-Yeah. Oh my god, I can't believe you're actually here! I missed you so-!" Anna exclaimed, setting her coffee down on the table and running over to Kaitlyn in order to give her a hug when-

*WHAM*

Anna lay face down on the floor, sporting a lump on her head while Kate stood above her with a book in her hand. An angry tick formed over her grow as she grit her teeth.

"Four. Weeks. You've been here, for four weeks, while everyone back home thought you were dead?!" Kate demanded angrily as Anna sat up rubbing her head and wincing in pain.

"Is that how long it's been…? Wow." she asked more to herself.

"I was worried about you, I flew all the way to fucking England to find you, and all this time you've been here! Annabelle Colins I can't believe you sometimes!" Kate threw her hands up in the air in frustration as Anna sent a glare her way before getting up and dusting herself off.

"Kate I am sorry for making you worry, but believe me, if I could have contacted you guys I would have." she defended.

"And I'm supposed to believe that? You stupid, selfish- I swear to god you have no consideration for anyone else but yourself!"

"It's the truth! Look me in the eyes and I will tell you oh my god what is up with your hair?" Anna point just to the right of Kate's face which caused her to blink in confusion as other countries started to file in and behold the scene before them. Another one showed up?

"Aw man, did another pop up? Dude, England you got tell me, was it cool like last time?" America asked excitedly. Throughout this whole time England had been staring wide eyed at the exchange between the two friends, unsure what to make of it all.

"Well, it was certainly a surprise…" He answered.

"What is she talking about my hair?" Kate asked as she looked around at the other countries. There was America, Germany, Spain, Italy and Romano, and-

"Oh hon hon hon, zhis must me my lucky day, oui? It has been my dream for a beautiful lady to randomly appear dressed in lingerie~" before France could finish his perverted thought, a blade suddenly appeared and curled around his neck.

"France, you even think of trying anything funny I will happily sever that perverted head from your body." Anna threatened in a monotone voice, an evil aura surrounding her person as she held her scythe closer to France's neck. France started to tremble and quickly scuttled away, hiding behind England who batted him away in annoyance. Anna smirked proudly while Kate merely rolled her eyes.

"Alright, glad to see you're back to your usual, over protective, sadistic self Anna. But again, what is up with my hair?" Kate asked again, reaching up to feel around her head. Anna at this point smiled a bit and tried to bite back a laugh.

"Someone, hand her a mirror!" Hungary did so and Kate got a good look at herself. Her hair finally lied on her head in gentle waves, smoother and glossier than ever before. Instead of a boring dark brown, it looked almost raven colored. She swore her skin was paler now, but still with a touch of peach color that kept her from looking too pale. Her eyes were suddenly more expressive and richly colored, but now she understood why it was Anna was laughing about her hair.

One strand stuck out and curled from the right side of her head.

"Dear god I have an Italy Curl…" she muttered.

"Actually, that curl is going to the right. You have a Romano Curl missy." Anna smirked, slowly reaching up to grab the curl with the clear intention of yanking it. Romano in question narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

"If you want to lose that hand, by all means go for it." Kate remarked dryly, glaring at Anna from the side. Anna retreated her hand and smiled mischievously.

"Ah, you know me! Besides, that explains so much now!"

"Explains what?"

"Why your attitude is so shit sometimes!" Anna winked, Kate whacked her upside the head again with the book while Romano get an angry tick on his head.

"Vuoi stare zitto già?!*" Kate (and Roma) yelled. Italy and Romano perked at hearing their native language come from this new girl as Anna rubbed the new bump on her head.

"Christ Kate, no need to go all Google Translate on me!" Anna reprimanded.

"Oh hush up, History Channel. Besides, you're certainly one to talk seeing as you have the Iggy brows!" Kate pointed at Anna's face while Anna slapped a hand over them, blushing slightly. She was still sensitive about her brows even though she was proud of their heritage.

"Shut the front door, I just trimmed them! Besides, I wouldn't think that would be a problem with you seeing as-" Kate smacked a hand over Anna's mouth to keep her from talking while Arthur just looked even more confused.

"Okay, that's quite enough out of you!"

"Um, dudes, can either explain what's going on here? We're a little confused here." America interjected. Both girls started and looked around at all of the awkwardly blinking Nations looking at them. Kate was the first to clear her throat and smiled.

"My apologies. Hello everyone, my name is Kaitlyn Carmichael, but please just call me Kate." she introduced herself with a little curtsey, causing Anna to roll her eyes despite the smile on her face. How like her friend to go all "ladylike" after she had just whacked her over the head with a book and yelled at her in italian.

"Kate? So you are Anna's friend then?" Arthur made the connection and stepped forward. Anna slung and arm around Kate's shoulder and beamed.

"Yes sir! The one and the same!"

"Are you sure you two are friends? You seem to argue a lot…" America asked. Kate shrugged.

"Believe me this is normal, if we don't insult each other at least once a day the universe could very well collapse." Anna nodded in agreement.

"Vee~ ciao bella! I was so surprised that you spoke my language, are you part italian?" Italy popped up near them, flowers floating around his head.

"W-Well, my grandparents did immigrate from Italy yes, but I'm American for the most part. Sorry that I'm not as interesting as Anna here…"

"Oh come off that Kate, you speak at least eight languages!" Anna cheered, causing Kate to blush slightly.

"Ten actually…"

"Te- ten?! Holy Mother Russia Kate, which ones now?"

"Irish and Scottish Gaelic, currently learning Welsh." Kate smiled proudly while Anna and a few other countries looked at her in confusion. Arthur and the other members of the British Isles on the other hand were quite impressed.

"Um, why?" America asked. Kate shrugged and smiled sheepishly.

"Because it's fun and I thought it sounds pretty?"

"Well, I could only wonder why it is you were sent here Kate." Anna remarked with a sarcastic smile. Kate looked at her in confusion.

"How do you mean?" At this point Arthur stepped forward and offered her a seat, which she took rather slowly.

"What Anna means to say is, is that you were brought here for a very special purpose much like she was." he started to explain, rather cryptically. Kate's attention was fixed on him as he spoke and she nodded slowly.

"G-Go on?"

"Well, there's a story about four female Personifications that make up the pillars of Culture itself. Anna is one of those Personifications, representing History. If what Anna says about you is true, then you very well may come represent Language as the second Culture Personification." as he spoke Kate grew more and more wide eyed with disbelief. Her? A Personification? Apparently, her shock and disbelief showed on her face as Anna came up to place a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, believe I've been there. But, at least you know sooner rather than later hun. It came as an even bigger shock to me." she comforted, glancing up at Arthur briefly who shrugged a tad bashfully. She smiled, no hard feelings.

"B-But that's insane! I'm just a normal human! With a job, a family- I can't just leave all that to galavant around in some TV sh-!"

"SHHHH! Don't say that here! Japan will have another existential crisis!" Anna said in a quiet voice.

"But-"

"Hey, I know it's a lot to take in, but like it or not we were brought here for a reason. Let me tell you this, the sooner you accept that part the easier things will be, trust me." Kate let out a heavy sigh and rubbed her forehead.

"Questo è folle…" she muttered to herself.

"Well, perhaps you just need to rest. Anna, can you take her to my place so that she can rest a bit?" Arthur suggested. Kate looked up with a blush and shook her head.

"N-No no, I'm fine really! I wouldn't want to impose!"

"I insist, you look positively knackered. You wouldn't be imposing at all love." Arthur smiled warmly at her, for an American she was quite polite and well spoken. "Besides, I'd think you'd want to get into some more proper clothes than just a night gown. Here," he took off his jacket and handed it to her, "you can borrow this until I get back, alright?" Kate looked up at him wide-eyed and nodded, taking the jacket and wrapping it around her shoulders. To be honest, she was starting to feel a bit cold before.

"Thank you, you're very kind." she said softly, smiling up at him.

Now, let the dear reader realize that in that moment, the pair of them felt a spark pass between their gazes. Neither knew it at the time, and perhaps to this day they will deny anything about it being 'love at first sight,' they were both too sensible to truly believe in something so simple. Though perhaps, they wanted to and they experienced something like it at that instant. If they didn't feel it, Anna certainly saw it.

Both parties were like siblings to her, Kate being her rock and source of solace during one of the darkest moments of her life. Arthur had become her mentor and dearest friend in these last few weeks. Being the Personification and Guardian of History, she was able to understand him on a deeper level than most could. That didn't mean he opened up to her completely, oh god no… but he was starting to crack.

The last part had both negative and positive connotations. Negative because she knew how damaged he had become over the centuries, and the recent events seemed to be breaking the camel's back as it were. Positive, because now Kaitlyn was here, and there was nothing that you could hide from her. If you were hurting, Kate was the person who could heal you. Anna had the faintest trace of a smirk grow on her face as an idea struck her.

Whipping out her mobile, she sent a text to two certain Nations who could help her.

[TEXT: Frog, Tomato Weirdo]: England+Kate matchmaking scheme, you guys in?

[TEXT: cabeza caliente]: I don't know amiga…

[TEXT: Tomato Weirdo]: I'll get you pictures of Lovi dressed in a female sexy cop's dress.

[TEXT: cabeza caliente]: Si, I'm in!

"Well then Kate, let's get ye out of here!" Anna took Kate by the arm and proceeded to lead her out of the room. Kate nodded and sent a wave back to everyone as she left. She was here, in Hetalia, reunited with her best friend…

And she had finally met England. She could die happy now.

Translation: *- Will you just shut up?

**- This is crazy...

AN: Yay! I can't wait to see how this relationship evolves...
