"THE HERO IS HERE!!!!" America yelled enthusiastically, skipping towards his chair.

Canada smiled at his precious brother, ever so happy to see him. "Hey Al. How's the trip a week ago?"

"Totally awesome dude! The fluffy fox was the cutest one though! I swear I didn't touched it coz the owner told us not to but it kept on moving towards me and licked at me all over! Not only that but I accidentally broke the lions' prison and three of them jumped at me, also licking me, purring like...like a cat! You should have seen the look of everyone's faces man!"

Canada laughed, "You're a literal disney princess."

America pouted, "Naawww! I am manly!"

"Manly disney princess." Russia smirked, almost sitting on Canada but managed to see him and sitting next to America instead.

America dramatically gasped, "HECC NAW!!! I'm no princess dude! I'm a hero! H. E. R. O!!! Understand!?"

Canada, Russia and a few other nations laughed playfully.

"We understand, Alfred. We do, trust me." England sipped on his tea, pleasantly sitting between France and Spain.

France wiggled his eyebrows at Hungary who only gave him a wink back before speaking quitely with Japan.

Everyone weren't fighting over anything at all, especially after the world accepted them wholeheartedly without a problem.

It happened six years ago, they all had been anxious and agitated when almost 50 of the personifications were caught online, saving over 450 lives from two burning buildings.

While the governments were incredibly thankful for their help, they were afraid that the personifications might suffer the consequences of showing who they truly were, especially when they kept on dying and reviving after a moment, making all the personifications involved exhausted to the max.

After the nations deemed every humans safe, they all collapsed and were put into coma for two months. Fortunately, all humans did not hesitate to accept them. After the incident, they all celebrate the day when everything seems so peaceful and loving.

(1) It is celebrated by nations competing in a game while the humans can vote whoever they like online. Whenever the event comes, the nations were happy and pleasant. Even the grumpiest nations opened up and smiled, even if it's just a tiny bit.

Germany looked over at everyone twice, looking back and forth at the list of names of the nations. Surprisingly, everyone was present. Germany raised a brow before he quietly laughed.

After that incident, everyday seems perfect. And that's all that matters.

"Ok everyone, let us start the conference." Germany paused, seeing Italy's hand being waved around. Smiling, Germany called, "Yes Italy?"

Italy happily hopped up, "I don't think there's any world problems that is dire right now ve~ So how about we all hang out? After all, the meetings aren't that important anymore. I'm sure the presidents won't mind ve~"

"Oh! Oh! I totally agree dude!!!" America yelled, raising his arm as high as he can.

"Kesesese, I agree too! It is an awesome plan! Still not as awesome as me tho." Prussia said, walking into the meeting and Germany let him. It doesn't really matter anymore whether the Prussian breaks in or not so he just lets him do what he wants. Germany agreed and all of them went outside.

It was like a field trip because they went to so many places in a day such as karaoke, zoo, and even a mall *cough cough Poland cough*.

It was strange that over 100 nations were walking together as one group. It looked like they were in some kind of odd rally without rallying, but just enjoying each others companies.

Someone (And I mean a lot) posted a video with nations walking around in certain areas. The videos got straight viral and people were constantly commenting a lot. Some people claimed that they also saw some of them in Florida. Everything about that day is chaotically amazing. They just go from place to place, having fun and nothing more.

That was until a few of them seperated from the group to have some alone time. America, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Canada went to a nearby coffee store and took a rest there. France and Poland went inside a mall and their purpose to be there is very obvious as they fashionably entered. Germany, Italy, England, and Prussia went to a nearby bar. While the rest of the nations went to wherever they want.

"I win!" America grinned widely at Russia as Belarus nonchalantly clapped for him. Ukraine smiled at Russia and America while Canada congratulated America for winning a board game against Russia.

"I will win next time, da?"

"Pssh, you always say that. Guess what? I win all the time!"

"Actually it's 540 wins and 392 losses, Al." Canada smirked at his brother.

"Majority is still mine!" America pouted.

Russia chuckled, "Da. But I will still find a way to win next time."

"Mmm, we'll see about that, big guy." America winked as he sipped a bit of his coffee. Then his eyes widened, instantly pulling the coffee away from him, "Ohhh that was HOT!"

"Blowing the hot away is a thing, Alfred." Belarus said, sipping unto her own.

"How come you aren't bothered by the hotness of your coffee dude!?"

"Hot coffee begs for mercy." She simply said, chuckling as dark aura wildly go off from her.

"U-Uh...yeah...sure." America just said. It's true that they are close friends ever since he helped Belarus get over Russia after Ivan told her that he already has someone in his heart but still told her that she'll always be his baby sister. Belarus didn't take it happily and cried for days by herself until America helped her get over him. Natalya was grateful for his help and asked if he wants anything in return but Alfred refused (but he and Natalya knew that she's still going to repay him anyway.) After a few weeks, Lithuania asked her out and Belarus, finally, accepted his confession so they started going out.

America still isn't used to her aura though. He's already used to Russia's but hers is kinda weird.

They continued to spark conversations every now and then until they were done eating and drinking. As they were about to walk out, Russia suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. He clutched his chest and groaned painfully.

"Big brother, is something wrong!?"

"Oh no oh no oh no, Vanya- ahk!" Ukraine was about to help her brother but also ended up wrapping her arms around herself. Now both of them are in pain.

"Wh-What's going on!?" America worriedly searched for any signs of injuries or wounds- anything! But there's nothing wrong with their body.

"A-Al...it hurts..." Canada whimpered but America managed to hear him over the gasps of the humans around them. America searched his body but still, nothing's wrong. But there has to be wrong! Or else they wouldn't be like this at the same time. America knows them very well and knew they aren't the type to prank him at all.

America glanced at Belarus and sure enough, she's on the floor, gasping and clutching her chest tightly. Alfred didn't know what to do. He got an idea and hastily called the rest of the nations as much as he can but no one answered. Alfred thought that they might be in pain too.

But what was causing it? Why wasn't he affected?

Why them?

Just why?

Alfred was about to search again but his legs went weak all of a sudden and he sunk to the ground. It wasn't painful but it made him panic.

His body feels heavy and exhausted as if he had eaten a bunch of sleeping pills. But he was sure that he'd never done that since the incident six years ago.

Alfred can faintly hear his fellow nations' painful groans and cries while here he is, on the verge of sleeping.

But he can't sleep now. He has to help them!

He's the hero.

He can't just leave them on their own when they obviously need him.

'I have to save them.'

But he couldn't.

Her one shot stories are gold. You won't regret it! (This story doesn't follow hers though, only the idea is here.)
