Ok so this is the last bit of it that I've done... At this point I kinda ran out of steam and now while rereading this I probably will adjust a lot! So please forgive me if it isn't really up to par with the other chapters!

Thank you!

The world was so empty without him, meetings never the same. Nobody wanted to solve problems without him, and many nations stopped coming to meetings. Russia rarely appeared in public, Canada stopped eating pancakes, England wouldn't stop crying, France never tried to talk unless he had to, Italy's smile became nonexistent, Romano didn't even insult anyone, Finland's attitude turned depressed, Japan couldn't watch anime without crying, Prussia constantly worked out, Germany wasn't as bossy, Austria composed sad music, China would pray to have the young western nation home, and Spain didn't even eat tomatoes. Nobody was the same since that day, even Cuba was broken. That however was the first decade. On the ten year anniversary, all the nations gathered together and made up their minds. They would not let Alfred's deed go unrecognized. They would fix the world and make it better, because that's what the hero wanted.

There were no wars, nobody wanted to fight after the sacrifice he made. There was no hunger, they all wanted to make sure his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain. All powerhouse nations like America, Canada, China, Russia, Japan, and Germany donated food and held benefits in Alfred's honor. Plastic in the ocean, once a month all the nations gather into groups and cleaned their beaches and seas for a weekend. Nuclear warfare, solved. North Korea and Russia disabled all their nukes out of respect for the American's sacrifice, America did the same in a mutual return of respect. Homelessness, nope. The countries built shelters to house the less fortunate. Gangs? Ha! The Italies dismembered the Mafia, Russia killed off the Bratva, and China executed the members of the Triad and all the fellow syndicates. Global warming? Solved thanks to a secret government project founded in America.

It was named H.E.R.O.S for Hyperactive Electro Radiation Ozone Shield ((was not an original idea, I read it once in a fanfic. The next part is original though)). Once every month at midnight in Washington DC, a laser would replenish the ozone in the atmosphere. The rippling wave of energy looked like the northern lights and used solar and wind energy gathered amongst the nations. Using a process similar to photosynthesis, solar and wind energy was converted into ozone. This device single-handedly solved the melting ice caps as temperatures began to decrease on a global scale.

Earth was a better place: rainforests were being replanted, animals were being repopulated, and people who needed help were being taken care of. The Earth was healing, everything was ok. Except he wasn't there to see it. All the nations may have come together, but only after it was too late. They did do things together on certain occasions. Every fourth of July they all went to America's manor in the countryside, lit fireworks and ate burgers. Every time HEROS would be ready to ignite, they gathered in the cornfields next to it and would make a toast to Alfred. The day he was taken would be the day everyone went to the Statue of Liberty and lay flowers on the ground. It was the only day the Statue was exclusively closed just for them.

Fifty years later after that wretched day, a strange buzzing noise was heard above their heads as they all sat at the foot of Lady Liberty. They all stood on guard but were all put to sleep in a second with a flash of light. Landing in front of their sleeping bodies was America, and his "wife" Arinova. She used her force powers to make everybody sit up, as she held the tiny toddler in her other arm.

"Papa, I'll miss you" the little boy said. He hugged his father and America chuckled.

"I'll miss you too Vano. But you know papa never belonged with you and mama" Vano looked at the other nations and saw how they all looked like his human father. Arinova kissed America's cheek and sighed.

"Had I known how terrible my father was to them I would have brought you back sooner. But, at least you fulfilled your duties. I have an heir, and now I'm the first queen to rule solely on my own. I have Juja, Bruni and Smif to help me. You indeed have made us a more accepting kind. The Yakto will miss you Alfred, but you belong here" she said smiling as she and Vano disappeared in a flash of light.

America looked different, he still had his beautiful blue eyes and wheat colored hair, but his body was different. He was even more muscular and had grown out his hair long enough to be put into a small ponytail. He wore a white dress shirt and dark denim jeans with a loose red tie. He wore dark brown dress shoes and his glasses were now red instead of silver. He looked around and saw all his sleeping companions. He returned all the items he was given, leaving Russia's scarf for last. As he was walking around, some woke up. When Prussia felt the cross around his neck, he looked up. He felt tears prick his eyes and tackled America. He rubbed the back of his head and cried silently.

"Mein god kid, vhat took jou so long?" Prussia yelped, causing Germany and Austria to wake up. The Germanic also tackled America, crying joyful tears. America shushed them as he continued to return the items. The next ones to wake were China and Japan. Upon hearing the clanking of the keychain they both looked up. China kissed America's head repeatedly and Japan thanked Kami-sama with tears in his eyes. France woke up next, crushing America in a hug.

"Oh mon petit Amérique, I thought ve lost you" France quietly yelled, causing the Brit to awaken. Arthur quickly joined the hug, rambling loudly. This caused the Italies, Spain, and Canada to wake up. Italy jumped into America's embrace, crying. Canada and Spain kissed America's head and Canada smiled so widely his cheeks looked broken. Romano ruffled his hair with tears down his cheeks.

"Welcome home burger bastard," he said laughing. He looked at the last item, Russia's scarf. He knelt in front of his lover, draping the scarf around his neck. He then kissed Russia's cheek, causing the large man to wake up.

Russia and America locked eyes, Russia's breath hitching. His violet orbs began to moisten as he brushed America's cheek. America giggled softly and held Ivan's hand there.

I remember that hand, I remember how soft his hands were. How warm they were. His eyes, they're still bright and innocent. His smile, oh god I've missed that smile. It's still so stupid and goofy, but lively all the same. I can hear his heart, I can feel his love. This isn't a dream. This is real. This is my Fredka! He's home!

"Fredka?" Ivan asked, and America chuckled.

"I'm finally home Vanya, and I will still marry you if you will have me" Alfred replied. Ivan, noticing the glint on his finger embraced Alfred tightly. Holding his waist, they made love sweetly.

Ivan- His lips are still soft, and they still taste like apple pie. His body is so warm, he's still my sunshine loving sunflower even after all this time. The spark is still there, he's never forgotten how much he loves me. My Fredka is still mine! No one will take him away from me now, no one!

Alfred- His lips are still cold, and I can still taste the vodka on his lips. He smells like fresh snow and sunflowers, I missed his smell. I can feel all that pent up love, he hasn't moved on. My dear Vanya, that's not healthy. Give me all that love you have stored up.

The two made out in front of everyone, as the other nations began to wake up. After they were finished they just cuddled each other, wrapped in each other's embrace. The nations were beyond happy of his return, now they can all be a family again.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Alfred was wearing a white suit with a powder blue dress shirt and cherry red bow tie, his hair currently being fixed by his Papa France. China, Germany, Lithuania, Romano, Canada, Japan, Denmark, and Prussia were all wearing cherry suits with white dress shirts and powder blue ties. They were the groomsmen, trying their best to help America calm himself. Latvia and Italy, who were wearing white dress shirts and cherry red jackets, were holding baskets of sunflower and rose petals. Estonia, who was wearing a white dress shirt and powder blue jacket, held a large ivory pillow with a white gold band and a yellow gold band. Finland, Sweden, England, France, and Spain all fussed over their son, them wearing powder blue suits with white dress shirts and cherry red ties. After France finished the hair, he gently placed the rose crown on his sons head.

"You look beautiful mon petit Amerique" France swooned, everyone nodding in agreement. Suddenly, a knock at the door. Germany opened it and saw Hungary, Poland, and Taiwan. They all squealed upon seeing America, Poland running over and taking a photo. He then brushed the suit softly.

"Totally some of my finer works! I honestly didn't think red, white and blue would work but you totally rock this color scheme America!" Poland exclaimed as Hungary adjusted the flower crown.

"Are you ready to see your husband?" Hungary asked softly, causing America to nod. Taiwan then whistled, causing everyone to line up. First were the flower boys:  Italy behind Latvia. Next was the ring bearer: Estonia. Then came the paired groomsmen: China with Japan, Lithuania with Romano, Germany with Denmark, and Canada with Prussia. Finally came the parents. Spain was in front, holding a sunflower. Behind him, the four main fathers formed a square shape.

They all marched slowly and came to the opening to the large dock. Austria began to play

They all began to walk, as the nations watched happily. Everyone was there, every single country. All the African counties, the Middle Eastern countries, North and South American countries, Asain countries, European countries, Australia, and all the micronations even showed up. They all stood as Alfred began to walk down the aisle to the altar. At the altar stood Pope Francis I, courtesy of Italy and Romano. Once the music stopped, everyone was seated and the ceremony began.

((Forget what I said, My imagination is going hyper and I got new ideas! Next chapter will be the ceremony and the reception! Probably will end it there, dunno))
