(I don't own hetalia or anything mentioned:-: )

I sighed as I walked out of the grocery store. Another long tedious day has passed yet again. My arms were covered by a ton of heavy plastic bagged slightly digging into my arms. I just knew I should have taken the car here. I rolled my calm, violet eyes. Sounds like something America, or Alfred, would do.

Alfred. Just saying his name gave me slight jealousy towards my older brother. I let out a soft laugh. I never admitted to his face he actually was the elder. Normally we fought about it, yet I did it for fun mostly. Al would get so angry and flustered. As I wad saying jealousy. He was so popular. So noticed. Alfred had so many friends it seemed so unfair. I always felt unnoticed and lonely. Sometimes I must admit I usually prefer it quiet and lonely, but that's not the point. Why does Al get all the attention?

I almost started crying in the middle of the night on the way home. That's just some kind of pathetic. Suddenly my phone started playing Canadian Please at full volume. I ended up dropping a little over half my groceries onto the cold sidewalk. Hey, at least I didn't buy any eggs today, but I still muttered some cuss words under my breath. I quickly took out my cell before they hung up.

"Hello this C-Matthew speaking" I greeted quietly. I almost slipped up and said Canada on accident.

"Hey Mattie!" Ah, speak of him and he shall appear, I laughed. I bent down and started to pick up all the items I dropped out of my own shock. Silly me for being scared of my own phone.

"Hello, Alfred. I see you really are keeping to your promise. How has your week been?" I asked politely. I put my cell between my ear and shoulder as I continue to pick up the stupid food I had to buy for my and Kuma.

He laughed loudly in my ear,so I winced slightly not being able to move my the phone away. Ouch, even his laugh echoed in my ears or maybe I'm just too used to my own soft voice."Of course I remembered! I haven't broke that promise in years! Why are you so surprised,dude? I've been doing pretty good." He said that drifting off "Um, how have you been, Mattie?"

Unnoticed. Ignored. Mistaken for you. Busy. Slightly over worked. Etc "I'm doing fine,so just like the usual, Al" I didn't lie. Its the truth. My economy and political status is the same. I'm still alive. My family is alive. No country particularly hates me so I'm doing actually very good for a country. Also he's right. He hasn't broken that promise since, well, I don't want to bring up such event.

"That's good, Ma-" he was cut off by some pots and pans being dropped it sound like. I raised my eyebrow as I stood up with all my groceries finally collected. "Dude! How did you get in here?" Alfred screamed at who ever was in his house. There was a muffled reply that I couldn't understand. "Okay so you broke in! You're so paying for that window,bro!" There was yet another muffled reply and then I heard my brother sigh. "Yes, of course I would have just let you in if you knocked like a regular person! I promise, okay?" Another agitated response from Al and another sigh. "No! If your in my house I'm not letting you cook that! I'll make you some good home made hamburgers!" This was actually a rather interesting convertion to listen to. I let out a good hearty laugh. "Shut up!" I stopped realizing he was talking to me now. I ended up just settling for a silent snicker."I can feel you smirking Matt." I let out a snicker at that. Alfred knew me well, I'll give him that."No, not all hamburgers look like the ones from fast food places! I'll show you what a perfect hamburger looms like you r-"

"Sounds like you have your hands full Alfred" I laughed. I wonder who he had over. Could it Arthur? Probably not, for if it was Al would have already gotten him out of the kitchen.

"Yeah" Alfred signed sounding awkward."I'm gonna have to go now. Hey, I am really sorry though"

"It's okay Al. It happe-" I was cut off by whoever was in Alfred's house with Al.

"If it makes you feel better, I brought you some flowers Alfred!" the voice was definitely familiar but it wasn't close enough to here the accent or who it could belong to.

"Awe, Alfred has a boyfr-" I started laughing.

"G-goodbye, Matthew!"He then hung up. I started laughing to myself because I could hear how flustered he was. Alfred has a boyfriend! That's so...cute. I wish I had a girl or guy or really anyone to talk to in my life.

At least I was almost home. Hey, at least Kuma-what's it well talk to me. Then my phone rang again. Wow, I'm popular today! Two calls in one day! Admittedly not the record but, still, means a lot to me.I happily picked up the phone and answer. This time without dropping any of my bags. "Hello! Ma-"

I was cut off by an angry British yell profanity and insults in my ear. Okay mistaking me for my brother in person is one thing, but how do you possibly mess a number so bad you call me? "Ar-" I was cut off. I tried again and again. "ARTHUR THIS IS MATTHEW! You know Canada, eh?" I forcibly drew out the 'eh'. I didn't say it very often but I did say it.

He paused for a moment."Canada..." he drifted off, no doubt still trying to remember me"Oh! Oh yes, I'm quite sorry,um, M-Matthew. It was the wrong number! Terribly sorry,love! I meant to call Alfred. Well, I must be leaving now" he rushed out of his mouth before I even got the chance to say it's okay or anything for that matter. I wanted to talk to him though. I sighed yet again into the cold Canadian wilderness air.

I was almost home now. I felt like crying a bit. Was I really that easily forgotton? I had just spoken to Arthur on Monday! Its only Wednesday!

I looked up into the almost black sky. The stars were so far away and made me feel so small compared to them. The shining, twinkling specks in the sky looked so special tonight especially for some reason. I couldn't place a finger in it but it seemed almost, well almost, magical. What a funny thought. That sounds like it should come from one of my brother's children stories he loves so much.

I noticed some movement at the corner of my eye. A shooting star! Its been a while since I've seen one and even longer since I've wished upon one. What I did next was totally childish but I felt like this one star was shooting just for me. My very own. I even crossed my fingers. Then I made my wish on the striking star. I wish I could be like my brother, Alfred. I want to be that beloved country. I want to be noticed instead of being ignored. I want everyone to know me and be my friend. I want to have someone to care about me like that person in Al's house. I want to be that famous world superpower like Al!

I opened my eyes. Strange I didn't even know I closed them while I was wishing. Right after I realized this that I noticed that my star drifted off out of my eye sight. It felt relieving to get that out.

Then I walked home in silence. Nothing much happen after that. A few wolves howling at the moon in the distance. Once I got home I somehow manages to unlock and open the door without dropping any of my groceries. I quickly put everything away, brushes my teeth, and finally washed my face. I then went to bed with a strange new hope filling my chest. Maybe, just maybe I can finally be happy... then I fell asleep dreaming about if wishes actually came true,but we all know they don't.
