A/N: Alright, sorry for not updating this sooner. But here's the next chapter. I would love to thank all of you for being so patient with me and my updates. I think I can update every ten days or so. Which is great for you guys. Please enjoy the chapter though much doesn't happen in it.

Warning: Alfred does get a little physical with Kiku and mentions of a possible bj. But that's it. In all honesty I felt a little uncomfortable writing it.

~Third P.O.V~

Alistair was eating a bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jelly when Ashling came down stairs.

"Morning." Alistair said as he took a sip of his orange juice.

She just glared at him and walked to the fridge. She wasn't in the mood to talk to any of her siblings.

"You need to apologize to Arthur for what you said last night."

"And why should I?" She asked.

"Because he's your little brother who looks up to you." Alistair said calmly.

"Hardly doubt it. If he really looked up to me then he wouldn't get involved with magic again. I sure as hell not getting involved with that shit again." She slammed the carton of milk on the counter.

"He's just trying to do the right thing Ashling! Why can't you understand that?" Alistair growled.

"Because it only gets you killed! That's why I'm so against it. If he wants to go and get himself killed then it isn't my problem."

Alistair stood up, making his chair fall over. "Are you saying that you don't care about him? Is that it?!"

It was silent after that. Ashling wasn't sure how to answer that. She did care for Arthur deeply. She just didn't know how to express it.

"Is that *sniff* really how you feel *sniff* *sniff*?"

They looked towards the stairs to see Arthur with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Arthur, you heard that?" Alistair asked.

He nodded before running out of the house.

"Danm it, this is all my fault." Ashling said. She sat down in the chair next to where Alistair was at and ran her fingers through her hair.

"No, it's my fault to. I shouldn't have asked you that. We know that you love Arthur dearly. I'll talk to him on the way to his school."

"Don't try to make me feel better. I know that this is all my fault. I know how sensitive Arthur is after what happened to dad yet I still acted like a selfish jerk."

"What happened?" Owen asked. He had just finished getting ready.

"I fucked up and now Arthur is crying." Ashling answered.

"You made him cry?!" Owen gasped.

"It wasn't her fault. I took what she said the wrong way. Now Arthur thinks that she doesn't care about him."

"You two need to apologize right now! I don't bloody care what it takes but you are going to do whatever it takes to get his forgiveness. Do you understand?"

Alistair said Ashling shook in fear. Owen was like a bald eagle. Very pretty to look at but once you mess with someone he cares about he will scratch your eyes out. He is definitely someone you don't want to mess with.

"I'll talk to him when he gets home." Ashling said and ran out the door to go to school.

"I'll talk to him on the way to school."

"Don't, this is something that Ashling needs to do. Not you."

Alistair didn't argue with Owen. He wanted to help because he doesn't like it when Arthur cries. He sure is a big softy when it comes to his little brother.

He got in the car and drove down the street looking for Arthur. After passing a few blocks he saw the boy walking with his head down.

When he pulled over he rolled down the window.

"Come on and get in the car."

Arthur did as he was told. It was silent for majority of the ride. But eventually Alistair couldn't take the unbearable silence anymore.

"She does care about you."

"Then why didn't she say so?"

"You know how Ashling is. She just has a hard time communicating her feelings."

"Well apparently she doesn't care enough to say it."

Alistair gripped the steering wheel but didn't say anything. Owen was right. It's best to let Ashling and Arthur work it out for themselves.

'I hope I didn't make it worse.'

"So Arthur, what will I be enchanting?"

"A music binder. Elizaveta said that Roderick never leaves home without it."

They pulled into the parking lot.

"I'll wait here while you get your friends."

~Arthur's P.O.V~

I walked into the school and headed to the cafeteria. But on the way I noticed that the students were either glaring at me or were avoiding my gaze.

What the hell?

I glared back at one of them and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Who do you think?" He said in a Russian accent.

"So you're the famous Ivan Braginsky." I muttered.

"Da, I am. Who are you? I've never seen you at this school until yesterday."

"I'm new."

He tilted his head at that. "Then that means you don't know the rules. That explains a lot."

I raised an eyebrow. "And what rules would that be?"

"1: Never talk to anyone out of your designated group unless you're a popular like me.
2: Don't disrespect a popular.
3: Stay away from the mystery club.
4: If your group wants to do something-"

"I'm not doing that." I said bluntly. I was getting really annoyed with this guy.

"What did you say?"

"Didn't you hear me? I said I'm not doing that. You don't tell me what I can and cannot do."

He walked up to me trying to be intimidating. But I wasn't going to fall for it. I know that deep down he was a good person. He did protect his sister after all.

"You should shut your mouth before it gets you into trouble."

Instead of giving him an answer I flipped him off. "I suggest you fuck off."

There were loud gasps. I turned around and walked away. There was no way I was going to let that prick tell me what to do.

The students moved out of my way. I smirked feeling proud of myself. This was good. That means that I'm doing my job.

Hopefully I will be able to continue my plan and they will reveal themselves.

~Third P.O.V~

Ivan smiled. Arthur fit the role of the school punk perfectly. He would be a great addition to our group.

He walked around until he found Alfred who was making out with his boyfriend Kiku Honda.

Alfred was groping Kiku's ass and started grinding their hips. Ivan felt like puking. It was really disgusting to see something like that. They hadn't been dating that long yet Alfred was already making moves like that.

"Excuse me comrade but we have an important meeting." Ivan said as he looked away.

Alfred groaned in annoyance as Kiku suddenly pulled away, blushing.

"E-excuse me." The Japanese boy said and walked off to find his friends.

"Duuude really? I was hoping to get a bj." Alfred whined.

"Oh well. Looks like you're not. Now come on. We need to meet up with the others."

Ivan didn't like how everything started to suddenly change. First Alfred started to act like a jerk, then people separated into their own groups and now Alfred is trying to "get some".

They enter a classroom where all the populars were at.

"What took you so long?" Lily asked with a slight glare.

"I was looking for Alfred."

They all nodded in understanding.

Emma turned to Ivan. "Did he pass?"

"Da, but I'm not sure if he would join us. He doesn't seem to like us." Ivan said feeling unsure.

"Don't worry I have it under control. Alfred here is going to join the mystery club." Emma explained.

"But why do I have to do it?" Alfred whined.

"Because it would look suspicious if any of us try to join them. Your situation is perfect for us." Angelique (Seychelles) reasoned.

"Fine but I want something in return." He demanded.

"What?" Emma asked.

"To break up with Kiku once Arthur becomes the second most popular boy in school. I have a reputation to keep up."

"No way. You have to stay with him. That was the deal when we let you become a popular." Emma growled.

"No, the deal was to date the second most popular boy in school. It's obvious that Arthur is eventually become one of us. And he's going to get more popular. Probably more than Kiku. So are you going to keep your end of the bargain or not?"

"Fine, but if you mess up you can forget about your popularity." She threatened.

"Yea, whatever you say. I gotta go get ready for football practice."

The meeting was adjourned and they all went to do their own thing.

~Alistair's P.O.V~

After a while I got out of the car and lit a cigarette. I went through many spells through my head. I should probably use an easy yet powerful spell. Who knows who's behind this.

I was on my third cigarette when I saw my brother and his friends walk up to me.

"Took you long enough."

"Sorry I ran into some trouble but I took care of it." He said nonchalantly.

"Alright, let me see the binder." I ordered.

A dorky and high class kid handed me an old worn out binder. Looks like he really cares about it.

I began to let my magic flow through me. My hands began to glow a bright orange.

"Protect with light that is pure."

"Protect through day and night."

"Protect from harm."

"Protect from negative energy."

"This shield cannot be broken."

"So more it be."

As soon as I finished it went back to normal.

"There you go kid. As long as you keep that on you you will be fine."

"Thank you. Now if you will please excuse me. I have to practice for a future concert." He said dismissing himself.

"Thanks Alie. I'll pay you back." Arthur said using his nickname for me. Which I found to be adorable. Don't tell anyone I think that!

I ruffled his hair, "It's no problem and don't worry about it. I'm your big brother and it's my job to protect you and your friends."

He smiled brightly and ran to catch up with his friends. I was happy to see that he finally had friends that weren't from the magic realm.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think. :D

I don't own the spell nor do I own Hetalia.
