Palestine sat at the table in the Park Hotel in Netanya, scrolling through a touch phone that his cousin had bought him. It was called an IPod and it was the latest piece of technology. People were going crazy over it. Now Palestine himself might have had the same reaction if he could actually figure out how it worked.

"Stupid Israel. Not showing me how to work this and then leaving," he muttered as he began pressing the on button on and off. There was a knock on the door causing Palestine to sigh and put down the piece of advance technology. He opened the door and noticed his visitor. The male was probably nineteen and had wavy blond hair that came past his ears. Violet eyes hidden behind glasses. He was pale white and was holding a …polar bear? Palestine knew it was a fellow nation, just not one he ever met.

"Oh…hello. Is Israel here?" the blond quietly asked. Palestine shook his head. "Oh well…i have some paper work I need him to fill out." Palestine motioned for the young nation to enter.

"And you are?" Palestine asked crossing his arms, as the blond set the papers on the table. Said blond flushed and muttered something. "I'm sorry can you repeat that?"

"I'm Canada."

"Oh…Aren't you America's twin?" Palestine asked. Canada nodded and stood still not sure of what to do. "Another friend of Israel's I'm guessing."

"And..um who are you…a nation?" Canada asked looking into those green eyes that could only belong to a really old country. Of course Canada had never met him.

"I go by many names but I prefer Palestine," Palestine answered staring at the nation and then the bear in his arms. "No mean of rudeness but…why do you have a polar bear?"

"Oh this is kumajouro…he's my spiritual animal," Canada said petting the white bear. Palestine nodded and processed the information. Many nations had the ability to pick an animal to live by their side as long as they existed. Prussia had that yellow bird, India had an elephant, England with his strange mythical creatures, the Emirates with his falcon, and Jordan just recently adopted a brown colored cat off the streets of Amman.

"Canada right? Thank you for coming. Unfortunately my cousin isn't here at the moment, so if you would just leave those papers here and leave that would be great" Palestine said as he opened the door. Just than their was loud noise and black out.

Palestine groaned as he tried to move. He then realized he couldn't due to the large metal piece lodged through his arm. On top of that was a nice big piece of the wall where the door was. His hearing wasn't working right either. He knew what had happened. Another one of his citizens had blown up the place and took their life in the process. Suicide bombers…how Palestine hated those damn people. It never did him or his cousin any good when either side decided to blow themselves up like that.

He looked across the now smoky and littered room to fine Canada knocked out along with his bear.

Have to get him out of here….else his officials throw a fit.

With any strength he had the nation pushed off the wall, and ended up yanking the metal rod out of his arm. He gasped in pain but ignored it. Luckily that was the only large piece of debris on him. Dusting the rest of he made his way to the young nation. The bear was breathing and so was Canada.

Police and others would be there soon, which meant he needed to hurry. Israel's minister wouldn't be happy if the others found him in Israeli boarders. Throwing Canada over his shoulder and the bear wrapped in his bad arm he made his way to the window. They were on the third floor and he knew he'd probably break something if he jumped. Looking back in the room he then sighed knowing he had no choice but to jump. His people would probably be punished as it is. No reason to give the the Jewish leader another opportunity to harm his children.

"Philistine!"

Palestine looked down and noticed who had come. It was Israel and his arms where wide open. The Muslim threw the bear first and watched as his cousin caught the bear with ease. Next he positioned Canada in his trembling arms. Israel was almost as strong as America…please Allah let him catch this child. He threw Canada into Israel's arms. When the Jew caught him Palestine let out a breathe of relief.

"Come on Nadir! Your next!" Israel shouted awaiting for him to jump. Palestine with all the courage he could muster jumped. All the way down he went, landing in strong arms. "You weren't scared were you?" Israel laughed. Palestine noticed that his cousin was in internal pain…the bombing hurts. He was gently set down on his feet.

"Hamas…they bombed it,"Palestine said in a quiet voice. Israel only nodded as he picked up Canada and the bear.

"Come on we have to leave."

Without another word they fled from the scene, while sending prayers for the dead and injured.

An: this is the Passover Massacre of 2002 March 27. A Hamas member suicide bombed the place killing thirty civilians and injuring hundred and forty. Anyway sorry for taking so long…i am trying to plan these things a head so it's not messy or anything. And I learnt that Canada was actually an ally with Israel. Ya learn something new everyday. Sorry if this wasn't a great chapter…I just needed Canada to meet the Muslim nation. So anyway thanks for reading and have a nice day.
