Here it is! Chapter two! Written with tender love and care. ;) Happy reading! (Just thought I'd say again that I don't own Hetalia. I'm kinda paranoid that way.)

Then came the meeting.

I smiled big as the two of us stood at the front of the room, with Russia, Britain, France, China, and Canada looking onwards. "Guys! This is Greenland, my new temporary little sister! I promised Denmark I'd take good care of her, so be sure to treat her nice and stuff, 'kay?"

Of course, when you have a new land, people are always out to occupy it. Britain stood and walked over to her, looking her up and down. "Interesting… I could make a spectacular Navy base out of her, given the chance."

She grabbed onto my sleeve and hid behind me.

Russia must have seen something in her too, because he got interested in her pretty fast. "I could always use her land for natural recourses. And seal blubber makes for great fuel, da?"

I couldn't believe it! They were all trying to get a piece of Greenland! And not only that, but for all the wrong reasons! Soon, they all started arguing over who would occupy which part of her, and who would get what share of her recourses. Even Canada, my own brother, wanted a piece for his own! Greenland just kept hiding behind me, shrinking a little more with every remark. I couldn't take it anymore!

"Will all of you SHUT UP?!"

The room sort of went quiet after that. This was my chance to show them who would be her Hero!

"Look, I made a promise to Denmark. I promised I would look after his little sister and keep her out of harm's way. Originally, that meant Germany, but if that means I have to protect her from my own allies? Fine! I can't believe how selfish you all are being! She stays with me, as a self-ruling country! Period!"

I stood there, breathing hard for a minute or two. They all seemed kinda shocked. Sure, I was usually the goofball looking for a way to make the world a better place, but I can't remember the last time I blew my top like that, especially not at a meeting. I waited there, wanting to see what they had to say for themselves.

Russia was the first to sit back down. "Fine. The colony stays with you."

Canada looked down at his feet. "Gosh, I'm really sorry, Greenland… I didn't mean to say anything to hurt you…"

Britain put a hand on his shoulder. "None of us did, Canada." He looked back at me. "Just take good care of her then, ok?"

I took a deep breath and relaxed a little. "That's what I promised to do, and that's what I intend to do." I looked back at Greenland, who was peeking out from behind my bomber jacket. "Right, Greenland?"

She nodded nervously, not really saying much. Though, this time, I did see her smile a little.

Throughout the rest of the meeting, Greenland stayed close to me. Occasionally, when things got loud, she would grab onto my sleeve and I would pat her on the head to tell her it was ok. It was kind of cool, really, to see that she looked up to me like that. It only gave me more drive to be the best I could be to protect her and give her a big brother to look up to!

We drove home that night in a sleepy silence. I looked over to see that Greenland had fallen asleep in the car. I remembered my first meeting really took it out of me, too. I knew she was tired to begin with, getting home late and then getting up early the next morning. I pulled up to my place and put the car in park. I looked again at Greenland. She was sleeping peacefully, her head resting against the cool glass of the window. I didn't have the heart to wake her up, so I decided to carry her inside. She weighed almost nothing. She was so small in my arms, I was almost afraid she would break.

I got to her room and took off her boots, laying her down under the covers of her bed. Her face was blank and free of worry. She looked like an angel that way. She was really tired out from all the excitement. I took one last look over my shoulder as I left the room before turning the lights out and walking back to my room to get some sleep. Tomorrow was going to be another long day, and as much as I really didn't want to sit through another meeting, I knew it was my responsibility as a country, and as Greenland's Hero.

Ok, chapter 2 uploaded, check. Chapter 3 shall be here eventually... (Curse you, writer's block!) See you all soon! :3
