As the months dragged on I became more and more involved with everyday activities like dragging Italy out of bed for training with Ludwig. I also helped Arthur learn how to not burn things while cooking and helped Francis bake french delicacies. I was having the time of my life with my new family but I noticed I was missing too much school and so did my older brother Cyber who was in Japan. I asked if he wanted to spend more time with me and we agreed to let me finish my schooling in Japan, the only downside was that I was going to be separated from my new-found family for years on end. But the school I was going to had a swim team along with a volleyball team and even an ice skating club! I loved the ice and the coldness, I felt at ease when I skated...as if I was free.

              Back where I came from in America it was very hard to get into the ice rink and the fees were crazy! Thus I quit ice skating for a while and did it only at Christmas time and such, I picked up volleyball from my best friend back in the states. She loved the sport mainly because of some kind of anime but also because she loved the sport as a whole, I had also taken up swimming at the local YMCA and met some of my other friends there but it all changed when I stumbled into this dimension...and one thing was for sure...I was never going back.

              I currently sat on Arthur's couch or as he called it 'the bloody sofa', I watched as he paced as Francis tried to calm him down. I smirked inwardly 'they act like a old married couple one minute and then stubborn teenagers who won't admit they like the other the next!' I thought with a sigh leaning back petting Iggy Cat once more, I didn't know why Arthur was making such a big fuss all of a sudden...however when I spotted the acceptance letter from my new Japanese school, I understood completely. Arthur and I's relationship with each other was a big brother/father figure kind of relationship but now he was acting like a sick mother hen running pacing around the living room like a chicken with its head cut off! I giggled at Arthur making his head snap up, emerald eyes met turquoise locking with such intensity Francis sighed and walked next to Arthur and wrapped an arm around Arthur's waist making the Englishman jump nearly clean through the roof, I had to bite my lip so I wouldn't fan-girl right then and there. 'Oh my FrUk' I thought trying to suppress my fan-girl squeals with one of England's pillows. Francis stood in front of Arthur with his arms wrapped around him as he said, "Mon amour...let 'er go...she going to grow up eventually. Please..." I saw Arthur melt in his arms...and with a sigh he nodded and said, "I know France...but...but" 'He doesn't want to be left again' I thought thinking of all the countries he helped raise only for them to seek their independence some more subtle than others.

             I stood up much to the annoyance of AmeriCat who was using my lap as a pillow, "Artie" I said using the nickname only I could use making both lovable idiots look at me, "I'm coming back...this will always be my first home but now I need to grow up..." I chuckled as I thought about the time Arthur read Sealand and I Peter Pan as a bedtime story that caused Pan (my nickname for Sealand) to wake the whole house trying to fly. Continuing I walked to them and smiled at him saying, "I'll always come back...this is my home. I could never leave you...especially the two of you together...goodness what would the neighbors get a good night's rest!" I saw both men blush and I knew I had caught them...I giggled at them and said, "However I do need to learn to become more independent and besides going to a country and meeting new people is something I've always wanted to do!" Arthur still looked a bit hesitant as he walked out of Francis' embrace studying me, before wrapping me in a rare but a bear hug rocking me back and forth as if I was a child. I then whispered in his ear I once did with my father before he went overseas, before I tumbled into this strange new world, "You can let go now daddy...I'll always be your baby girl forever..."

             And before I knew it both Arthur and I were on the floor on our knees crying into each other's shoulders while Francis sat with us waiting for us to let all our emotions out. Once we were reduced to a couple of hiccups here and there Arthur said something that shocked me to my core that almost brought a fresh batch of tears to my eyes, "I've always wanted a little girl..." And from that moment on the evening only became more happier for the 3 humans and 2 cats as we snuggled on the couch "IT'S CALLED A BLOODY SOFA!" sorry...as we snuggled on the SOFA as we treasured the feeling of each other, never wanting it to end. But alas it had to because FrUk kicked into high gear after Francis winked at Arthur...I quickly walked ran out of the room with Iggy Cat in my arms and a fluffy AmeriCat on my heels as we high tailed it to my bedroom where I locked the door and put my earbuds in just for good measure falling asleep with the cats, listening to the lyrics to a song I knew by heart 'I've been hearing symphonies...before all I heard was silence...a rhapsody for you to me...and every melody is timeless...Life is stringing me along...then you came and cut me loose...was solo singing on my own...Now I can't find a key without you...and now your song is on repeat and I'm dancin' on...to your heartbeat...And when you're gone I feel incomplete so if you want the truth...I just want to be part of your symphony...'
