Newfoundland's Memories

In the far north of Canada is the small home that is shared by Newfoundland and Labrador. Labrador is one of the youngest Provinces, with the appearance of a ten year old. Newfoundland was the new name taken by Canada and America's older sister Vinland.

Labrador was essentially a mini-Vinland. She had the same honey blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, but Labrador was far sweeter.

Newfoundland was Auntie' and the oldest of the North America siblings; even Mexico's Estados called her 'Tia' and admired her strength. As well as feared her. She wasn't a former Viking for nothing and could toss back the tequila as good as Mexico!

"So Auntie, what are we looking for?" Prince Edward Island or PEI as her siblings also called her asked. She was of average height with bright red hair twisted into twin braids.

"I'm not looking for anything, I just need to go and straighten up my storage closet." Newfoundland replied to her nieces as she unlocked the room, the musty smell made PEI sneeze. "You two don't need to help."

"But we want to." Labrador said sweetly.

"Hiya!" Ontario yelled as she popped out from behind some boxes dressed in sparkling pants held up by rainbow suspenders over a shirt that said 'Keep Calm and Be AWESOME!' , rubber boots and a lampshade perched on her head. She posed on top of a chest making an L with her right hand. "Whats up Hosers?"

"Ontario?"

"What the Hell are you doing in my storage space?" Newfoundland yelled.

"-And why are you wearing a lampshade?" Labrador asked.

"Well it all started one night when I ran into the BTT and the DRT at a night club and we started a drinking contest -"

"Never mind! I don't want to know." Newfoundland said with a shudder. Those six together would put the Drinking Trio (Russia, Mexico, and Scotland) to shame.

"What are we looking for Auntie?"

"We're cleaning."

"Oh… Not Awesome! I'll be leaving then!" Ontario said as she moved to go but had to suddenly duck as PEI got a hold of her.

"You know Papa is looking for you…and so is British Columbia." She whispered.

"…On second thought the Awesome me will stay!" Ontario decided. "As long as I can keep the Awesome hat!"

"It's a lampshade." Newfoundland deadpanned.

"It just makes it more awesome!"

Newfoundland shook her head, obviously her niece had taken one too many blows from a hockey puck. Darn those Toronto Maple Leafs.

"It would be more awesome if it was in red."

'Why do all my nieces have to be oddballs? Kanata must have been sucking maple syrup straight from the tree before he spawned them!'

The storage room was dimly lit, but held a plethora of treasures from Newfoundland's history, as well as some she had from her globetrotting adventures such as a piece of the Berlin Wall.

On a back wall was a carefully framed original of the Skálholt Map from the Icelander settlers. Beside it were pottery works and a shawl given to her by the once native tribes. Labrador found a small box full of Runestones that Newfoundland had collected from various settlers.

"Look at this!" Ontario yelled as she found a trunk of Viking gear, including a shield and a dulled sword.

"Oh yeah, that's from my barbarian days." Newfoundland said as she started to sort through some old books. Some that she hadn't read in a while could be donated to the university or a museum.

"You were a barbarian Auntie?"

"Was kiddo, was. And so were your Uncle and father…demonic brats on the battle field with a war hammer and axe!"

Newfoundland eyes soften at the sight of the child sized helmet in the trunk. She had gotten that from Iceland himself when he came to visit he colony. She was barely a few months old and had just found out from her Native American friends who she was.

She had just started to befriend them when they were forced to leave. She was all alone until she met her little brothers.

"Auntie? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, let's get the feather duster over here."

Sorry for the long sabbatical on this story, so much work so little time!

My friends found out I was interested in hockey (mostly because of this story) and one is trying to recruit me to cheer for the Capitals. XD.
