At 9:30, Razway came into the hallway to see a spotless corridor. It was freshly cleaned and smelt heavily of bleach. Lulu was being looked over by Yao still, which concerned Razway immediately.

    "Lulu?! What happened?!" he said noticing the bruises on her abdomen. Yao held up his hand to her, allowing Arthur to take over.

    "She fought to protect America from an unwelcome visitor. But no need to worry, he has been dealt with accordingly and should no longer be an issue" Arthur said with a simple smile. Razway then went to check on Alfred, who was being looked after by Kiku and the others. His swollen face a sign of victory and pain as Kiku iced his features. His lash marks were taken care of by Ivan and Berwald, getting wrapped up by Ludwig and Francis, and receiving healing kisses from Tino on his wounds. Kiku had a stern expression on his face, and Alfred chuckled a tiny bit.

    "What is so funny America-san?" Kiku asked as he continued to soothe the agitated skin. Alfred just kissed his lips in response, causing Kiku to blush darkly.

    "Your face is going to freeze like that if you contort it so much. Grumpy and serious aren't the same look my beautiful boyfriend" Alfred sang cutely, causing Kiku to blush darker. A few of the other nations, mostly Prussia and Lovino, chuckled under their breaths.

    "I was not contorting my face at arr America-san! And who said I was your boyfriend?!" Kiku looked away, hiding the small coy smile. Alfred chuckled and Razway walked in.

    "Was there a fight I should know about?" he asked and all the nations just laughed a bit, even Berwald and Ludwig.

    "Ve! Don't a-worry about it!" Feli said happily.

    "We got it figured out!" Tino added.

    "You don't need to be burdened for formalities" Berwald happily joined.

    "Ve have everything taken care ov" Ludwig finished.

    Razway just let the nations be, doing a final check through on Alfred. He was given a clean bill of health and was discharged a few hours later. Kiku had gone to the nearest mall to buy America some clothes to wear. Francis, of course, tagged along, picking out a pair of dark denim jeans, a white cotton tee, and a pair of red high tops. They also got him underwear and his favorite cologne per the efforts of Kiku's sniffing. Francis simply chuckled at Kiku sniffing the various bottles of cologne, trying to find his lover's scent.

Francis occupied himself by getting him a silver chain with a lovely charm, a heart. It was a locket, so Francis sprung into action. He then went to a studio and modified the family photo they took that early September day, putting it in the locket. One side the picture, the other engraved a message.

    "Never forget who you are Alfred. You are strength. You are passion. You are dreams. But above all, you are freedom. With love- Your family"

He quickly showed Kiku the gift, who was pleased by the result. They soon went back to the hospital and gave Alfred everything after he took a quick shower in the employee locker rooms. The other nations joined since they all smelt rather bad after the fight. Having their clothes be washed in the employee laundry, they all left the showers refreshed and smelling clean. Their clothes were soon done and Lulu gave them their said attire. She looked away blushing madly, not sure when's the last time she saw that many six-packs. Or if she has ever even seen that many muscles in one room to begin with. Francis had gotten dressed and walked over to Alfred, who was tying his shoes. He gave the small box to Alfred, and Alfred opened it gently. He opened the locket and read the message inside, nearly tearing up. He hugged Francis tightly.

"Thank you" he whispered as Francis clasped it around his neck. Once everyone was ready to go, Lulu and Razway were at the opening to the wing, "hey, how about a picture?! All of us!" He said looking at Francis' Polaroid. The security guard took the camera and all the nations huddled around Lulu and Razway. They all smiled brightly as the guard snapped the photo. It came out perfect, and he handed the photo to Alfred.

"I can make more than one copy!" Arthur said happily holding up the wand. Waving it around, multiple copies flew around into everyone's hands. Lulu and Razway happily accepting the photo as they bid farewell to the nations. Outside the hospital were two large Ford Explorers. One was for the three Nordics, Prussia, the Italies, Spain and Germany. The other for Japan, Russia, China, and the FACE family. They all hopped into the cars and headed back to New York, they were all exhausted and just wanted to sleep in a familiar place. If that familiar place was Alfred's large apartment, then so be it. The two groups made their way onto the interstate: singing songs, poking fun, and sometimes playing games.

Once Alfred got home, he could still feel the atmosphere from across town. He hopped out, the day turning to dusk as the sky painted itself a range of lovely colors. He looked out into the distance, remembering the pain he had felt a day ago. He then looked at the locket, opening it again.

He is strength. He is passion. He is dreams. He is freedom.

    He is America

The United States of America

And he wouldn't want it any other way
