Chapter 2 Beginning

"Tag you're it !" America playfully shouted running away from the young rabbit. It had been ten days since he had awakened back in his land as a toddler. When the Unicorn said second chance he thought he would be sent back to the time just before the war. He never expected to come back to the time before he became a colony. It made his job just a bit harder. After all what if he makes a mistake here, for example, if he decided to spare England and chose to become free a lot later than expected? He wouldn't be able to have as much land as he wanted. He wouldn't be able to have as much power as before, and if a war actually broke out then America would be in no position to fight.

Canada had told him many times before that America was a very good actor. So good if ever he would become an actor he would be able to fool anyone on the other side of the screen. That is exactly what he's going to do, of course, he is going to fake everything. He will embrace all the moment he has with the other nations. If possible, he even hoped to have a slightly better relationship with them.

"Su-San !" A voice shouted in the distance. "There's a little boy in the woods!"

America blinked and turn around, he'd forgotten all about Finland finding him first. He started to run deeper in the woods. The woods was a safe place for America, all of the animals there treated him with respect, there are also natives who sometimes hunts around the woods but the young nation never had a great relationship with the original people who lived on this land. He doesn't know how each tribe would react so it's best to avoid them all in general.

"Hey wait up little guy !" Finland yelled out chasing after him. America forced his legs to pick up the pace. His legs were tired and his lungs were starting to burn. He can't be found yet. It was too early, plus the wrong person too. America ran out of the wood into a big field, he ran behind one of the shaggy buffalo and hid. This is going to be harder than he'd thought.

The next time he ran into Finland was when he was attacked by Holland. America was hiding behind one of the large bushes, he finally has gotten used to his small body, now he's just waiting for the invention of the hamburger. Besides Finland was France and England wearing super tacky clothes. America giggled thinking back to the time he asked France about his clothes back then. France took them out of his closet and burned them in his backyard. America took the fire as a chance to make some wonderful s'mores that he later shared.

"Hey did you hear that?" France asked the other two. America put his hand over his mouth.

"It's probably the little boy." Finland sighed out.

"Little boy?"

"There's a little nation running around recently. Su-san and I tried to talk to him but he keeps running away."

England and France exchange glances, America knows that look. England was sending France a battle request and France just accepted this. This is a normal thing for the two Nation. America smiled, It'd been awhile since Alfred had last seen that look. France and England died together after a world meeting. America remembers the look of shock on the two faces, in their last moment. Damn it, the tears started up again.

"Little boy, are you alright?" Finland asked. The young nation steps back and bursts out crying.

"Finland what did you do!" England shouted.

"I don't know, he was crying so I asked him what's wrong!"

The toddler ran up to England burying himself in the older nation's shirt. England flashed a grin at France as he picked America up and rocked him back and forth. "Shh, relax I'll protect your little one."

Eventually, the nation's cries turned into hiccups until he stops making noises in general.

"I think he fell asleep. I'll take him to my home. Feel free to visit Finland." England murmured, walking away.
