Spain woke up in a beautiful king-sized bed. He got up immediately noticing that his room was different from before.

'What happenned?' he wondered before a certain voice was heard throughout the house.

"BOOOOSSSS!" at first, Spain thought it was Romano since the voice was quite masculine... then he later realized that this voice was a note higher than his henchman's tone. He thought it was just his mind playing tricks on him when he noticed that the man who opened the door was Italy and not Romano. Italy tackled him into a hug and gazed lovingly at him. "Boss! Belgium said it's time to eat! You should get dressed and come quickly! Bel is making her delicious waffles! Ve~"

Spain stared at Italy confused. "What is Belgium doing here, Ita-chan? Why are you here as well? I thought you were all in Rome having a meeting?" Then he remembered what he did to Romano. "W-where's Roma? Is he here? I need to apologize!"

Italy's smile turned into a confused frown. "Ve~ What are you talking about, Boss? Belgium and I live here! Along with Netherlands, France, Greece, Cuba and the whole of South America...And why are you calling me Ita-chan? Don't you remember there are two Italies? I am North. Everyone calls me North and who is Roma? Did you do something bad?"

Spain's eyes widened. What had happenned? He thought back to the events that happened yesterday... Then it hit... That shooting star! He made a wish! He looked at Italy once more then at his room. Why didn't he notice sooner? Hid room was that of his castle during his conquistador days... before he gave everything up for Roma...

'What have I done?'

Italy was staring at Spain, questioningly. Spain gave him an awkward smile. "Ahh~ Sorry...North. I think I must'ave gotten amnesia or I drank too much last night...Hahaha~ Can you please refresh my memories?"

Italy's smile began to come back. "Ve~ Alright! But first, let's go to the table and eat some of Bel's waffles! The others have already eaten and are back in their rooms. I went up to get you so we can eat together!"

Spain patted Italy's head. "Ah~ What a nice henchman Boss has"

He was waiting for some cursing or maybe a headbutt to his stomach but all he received was a gentle hand on his. He was surprised and quite disappointed. He was expecting to see the cute blush until he remembered that this was Italy...no, this was North. Where was his Roma?


Breakfast was delicious. The food was just like what Belgium used to serve him and Romano. He was also surprised that his castle was still standing. He remembered that it was sold off and later on gone when he was protecting Romano. The castle still looked the same, the only difference was instead of swords, shields and axes displayed inside the house, they were replaced with guns, grenades, and bullets. This was what reminds him that he was still in the 21st century, not in his old days. He and North passed through the halls where he was greeted by his old colonies. It was quite nostalgic being called Boss again. he even saw France and Greece, who were never his colonies, whom called him Boss as well.

They stopped in front of a huge wooden door in the east wing of his castle. This was Romano's room... He remembered it because this was where he would go whenever he came back from his adventures in the new world. He would look at Romano's sleeping face.

"Ve~ This is the room, Boss!" He opened the room to reveal paintings, books, weapons, and other stuff. North then led Spain to a picture of Austria, Hungary, him and Romano. "This is where we will start! You see...


THE PAST

Austria invited Spain over. He and Spain had had a good relationship so far, so to honor that, he would gie him a present.

"Ah~ Austria! It has been too long! What is the matter?"

Austria smiled. "Nothing is wrong, Spain. I was just going to give you a present"

Spain immediately jumped out of his seat and began jumping up and down, like the 12 year old he is. "A present?! Yey! I hope it's cute!"

Austria nodded then glared at the Spaniard. "Yes, it is cute. Now sit down, you might break something!"

Spain obediently did what he was told but his smile never faltered. "Oh, I can't wait!"

"Well yes, you can't. I heard that your empire is growing bigger and stronger than before"

"Yes. That is true" Spain said. His voice went from childlike to professional. "I have a lot of colonies and they bring me quite a sum of gold. I'm still trying to acquire more... why?"

"I might just give you a new colony then"

Spain raised a brow. "You would? Which?"

Austria smirked. "A descendant of the great Roman Empire"

Spain's eyes pooped out. "You have one?!"

Austria's voice turned smug. "I have them both. I'll give you one, as to honor our country's relationship so far"

Spain couldn't keep his joy. "I appreciate the gift, Austria. So which shall I have?"

"I was supposed to give you the southern half and keep the northern one to myself when some problems came up. It seems that Turkey wanted the Italians as well. His empire is still ruthless and frightening. He said he would cease his attack if I gave him the southern half, since Romano clearly has better land than his brother. So, I agreed. With that problem, you will receive Veneziano, the Northern half of Italy".

Spain's smile didn't disappear. "It's alright. As long as I have a cute Henchman. I am happy"

Then Austria called North. Spain was excited. This Italy was so cute! He and North quickly bonded and became bestfriends.

Whenever Spain sets out to discover more of the new world, he would arrive to see a clean home, and a cute henchman awaiting of his return.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS

Spain was invited to another meeting. He decided to bring his henchman, just to show off. The meeting was held in Turkey. It was a long trip, but they reached Turkey in no time. When they arrived, they saw that only did Spain bring his henchman, but other nations did as well. Most of them were still young.

"Kesesese~ Hey Spain!" a loud voice called.

Spain turned around to see his friend, Prussia. "Fusososo~ It seems that you haven't changed yet, mi amigo" then Spain noticed the boy beside Prussia. He was blonde with striking blue eyes, his face shows nothing but seriousness. "And who might this be?"

Prussia laughed some more, earning a glare form the boy. "This is my brother West! Uhm... actually his name is Germany, but I like to call him West! He calls me East as well! Isn't that awesome?!"

"It is awesome, Prussia"

"Ohnhonhon~ Fancy meeting you two here"

"France! How awesome of you to drop by!"

"Hola, France!"

"It seems like you two weren't the only one who brought their henchman" France said showing a blonde haired boy with long hair and violet eyes. "This is mon petite, Canada! Isn't he just adorable?"

Spain nodded. "Si! But not as cute as my henchman! This is North Italy! Just call him North! He's sooo cute~"

"Mon Dieu! He is Cute!"

North giggled. "Grazie~"

"You are quite a noisy bunch, aren't you?" England said, appearing with boy that looks like Canada but has shorter hair and blue eyes.

"And who might that be?"

England smirked. "This is America. Now we should get back to our seats. I heard Turkey has one bloody henchman that we do not want to mess with"

The other 3 followed England and sat down at the table. There was Denmark, accompanied by Sweden. There was Switzerland, with his sister Liechtenstein. Austria and Hungary. Poland with Lithuania. Russia with his sisters, Ukraine and Belarus. China with his oh-so-many siblings. And lastly, Turkey was at the head of the table.

"I see you've all brought your henchman" Turkey said, he seemed amused by this. "I would say my henchman was cute as well, but he isn't. Quite the opposite actually, he is really terrifying"

"You mean mi Fratello?" North asked, gaining a lot of questioning stares. "Is South here?"

Turkey smirked. "He'll be right here. I sent him on a mission. Let's say it might take a while befor-" Turkey was suddenly caught off when a bloody knife was pressed on his neck.

"You know I don't like people talking about me, right?" The voice said. it was young and sounded like North's voice, only deeper.

Turkey just laughed. "I see you've completed the mission... why don't you show your face to everyone? I'm quite proud of you... you should show them the face of a real nation"

From Turkey's back came a young boy who looked exactly like North. The difference was that this boy's hair and eyes has a darker shade than his twins', not to mention the blood painted all over his body. The boy's hair was long so it was tied in a small ponytail. He was wearing a white t-shirt and white pants with a black cloak. His clothes were soaked with blood and his face, upon seeing the scared faces of the nations, began to morph from a blank look to a sadistic smile. "So... These are other nations, the one you were talking about? And these are henchmen are the future nations, correct? Why aren't they soaked in blood? Why do they seem so scared upon seeing such a beautiful color? Haven't they killed yet?"

Turkey shook his head. "Not yet, South. I just made sure you grow up stronger than the rest. So go on, introduce yourself"

"Ciao, I'm South Italy. Try stay on my good side" Then the chibi nation laughed at the expressions the others were giving and left the room.

Turkey smiled. "Fine lad, huh? Raised him myself!" Everyone gave him a terrified look. "Now, back to this meeting..."


"And that was how you met me until you met South!"

Spain sat there with a horrid look on his face. 'Romano, my Romano was...became...no' Spain never realized that Romano could actually be like that. No this was not Romano... this was South.

"Boss?"

Spain quickly turned his attention to North. "How about after that? What happened?"

North shrugged. "You should ask France. That was the last time you took me out of this house. Plus it's dangerous with the war going on right now..."

"W-war?"

North nodded. "Ve~ the war between South and Prussia. We're the only empire that's neutral. And everyone in this house hopes we stay that way..."

"How long has this been on?"

North thought for a moment. "The day South gained independence". Then North left the room, leaving a frustrated Spain behind.
