Ch15

Day after day, night after night, the little girl wandered the streets of her hardly familiar nation. Where to go. She didn't want to be stuck on the streets for a week. Maybe someone she knew would see her and remember her. Maybe.

"Leanne... Did I do something wrong?"

"I dont think so Hoffy... Maybe you just dont have good luck today. Someone will find you tomorrow..."

Hoffnungen shrugged. "Well... One night of being homeless wont hurt... As long as you're right..."

Hoffnungen walked into an alley sat up against the wall, and fell asleep there. Dreaming that someone would show up and be her hero.

When she woke up, she found that nothing was different. She was still on the street. No one showed p to help her. But Leanne was gone. Probably had some fairy things to do. Hoffnungen just sat there. She had nothing to do again. Maybe get some food if she could find a restaurant. Why didn't she know her way around her nation? This was definitely it. Kappa was there. But something seemed different. Did all the new visitors and people moving there change something about the atmosphere around this place. The once happy, cheerful, generous feeling on the island disappeared while she was gone. "What happened to the good old days?"

Suddenly, Hoffnungen heard someone from the alley entrance. "Hey, Dude! Are you alright?" The man was Blonde and wore glasses. His eyes were blue like the ocean, And sparkled like Leanne's wings. "Oh! You're a lady!"

Hoffnungen blinked. Se was so tired an ill rested and could hardly move from how long she was in her state. "W-Who... Are you?"

The man smiled widely and held a thumbs up. "I'm your Hero!"

Hoffnungen barely had enough time to stand up before she was lifted to her feet and carried away. She wasn't awake enough to struggle, and his warm chest felt good against the slightly chilled air of Autumn. "W-Where are we going?"

The man looked kindly into her eyes. "I'm taking to my place! You must be cold!"

Hoffnungen shook her head. "Not really cold... J-Just a little chilled. I didn't bring a jacket on my trip..." Hoffnungen didn't know why she trusted him already. She didn't even know his name yet!

"Come on! Let me the hero!"

Hoffnungen sighs and decides to just let him take off with her. "Whats your name?"

"Oh! Umm... A-Alfred?"

Hoffnungen shrugged. "My name is Hoffnungen"

The man looked at her confused, his head tilted slightly. "What kinda name is that?"

"Well, I'm not like the others on this island... I am the island" The man looked at her with shock. "I probably shouldn't have said that to a complete stranger... Should I have? Now you think I'm crazy, dont you?"

The man shook his head, walk into yet another alley and whispered quietly in her ear. "I dont think think you're crazy... I believe you... I'm a nation myself..."

Hoffnungen finally got the strength to push herself away. "B-But you said your name was Alfred! What nation are you and why are you on my island!"

Alfred backed up with his hands in the air. "Calm down dude! I-Im America!" The girl looked at the American and tears welled up. "I-Im sorry! Was it something I said! Darn it! I didn't want to make a little girl cry!"

"A-America?" The girl held out her hand, one finger pointing from the palm and drawing closer to Americas chest. "Really?"

America stopped freaking out about the crying child, and looked at her, with the exact same confused look on his face as earlier. "Y-yeah... Is it that hard to believe?"

She put her hand down and jumped up to him and gave him a hug. Tears soaking his leather jacket. America stood there shocked. His widened eyes like stone, then closed when he had a better grasp of the situation, And wrapping his hands around her.

She had forgotten how much she missed the feeling of warm arms around her. But this was the first from a man. But even though the squeeze was stronger, it still reminded her of a special American.

Okay! Okay! I know its confusing for those of you who read the characters and pairings for this fic! (Don t want to spoil for the ones who didn't) But it will all make sense (Or maybe already does for some of you) But since this was typed up today, the day after the last chappie, It means my Keyboard isn't stuck anymore! (But it has been off and on so bear with me)
