"A deal?" Alfred asked. "What kind of deal?"

"A deal you won't be able to resist! " The fairy happily replied.

Sure, Alfred enjoyed watching movies about them, but he was not a fan of supernatural things. He obviously loved his Unicorn and enjoyed hanging out with Tony, but making deal with a fairy is where he crossed the line.

He had heard of many fairy tales and seen many movies all concluding that making a deal with a creature of mischief was a disastrous idea. The person who was stupid enough to make such a deal wound up sorrowful or dead.

But sending off an aura of fear would be bad for the American. He knew that fear would only result in idiotic decisions, history can provide a record. Not the best idea.

A while back, Alfred, for some reason long forgotten, started to grab the clocks off the wall and throwing them on the ground. Therefore, his feet were covered in bleeding scars, but he could care less.

"Tell me what the deal is about," he carefully stated. Alfred needed to be able to read between the lines with this deal which, though he hated to admit, was not something he specialized in.

"I can get you out of here!" The fairy exclaimed, unnaturally cheerful. "There will be no more loops, but in exchange I will take something from you."

"Or?" He cautiously asked, eyeing the fairy for any sign of trickery.

"Or, you can stay here for the rest of your life. I can promise you 100% that your friend will be alright."

"So if I choose to go back, there's a chance that Arthur could die again?" He tried rephrasing her offer to fully digest it.

"Exactly."

Alfred gulped, what could he do?

"Thank you for letting me stay in your home Japan." Arthur said sincerely, as he sipped his cup of tea.

"It's no problem England-san. I'm just glad that you are alright." The Japanese man replied. "America-kun went back to the hotel and said he'll come and visit you before you go back to your country."

"Ah yes, by then I should be healed."

Arthur felt at peace. It seemed like the younger nation remembered nothing of the events of August 15th, and was currently living his life as if normal. Arthur could do the same as well. He could erase his bad memories and live his life as if nothing ever happened. Something he craved many loops ago.

"Ah Japan?"

"Yes England-san? "

"Has anything happened recently? Supernatural things?"

The other nation shook his head. "Not in my country. I'm not sure about everyone else. Is everything alright?"

Arthur nodded, a bit distracted. "Yes, it's probably just me. I'm a bit sleepy, could you show me to my room?"

"Of course," Kiku replied, standing up and rolling Arthur to the appropriate hallway.

I did it! I actually did it! Beat that, Frog! My magic can actually work! After all, it was my magic that saved America. It's a shame that the only spell I can do only turns back time. I have to do the hard work and save Alfred from that truck. But that isn't hard to do, all I have to do is go home early.

I couldn't do it. I couldn't save Alfred. As soon as we left the sidewalk, Alfred bumped into a bike and hit his head. Hard. I was only able to watch him bleed to death.

What does the universe have against us! I only tried to save America! What is the problem with that? He's so young, not even 500 and his life has ended in such a petty way.

Today he tripped and fell off a high tree he was climbing.

My stupidity is what killed Alfred. I should have thought about this a while back. Today will be the final day for this haze to end. Everything will be back to normal just wait!

I wonder what life is like if I had never made this mistake.

"Have you made your choice?"

Alfred nodded, trying not to cry in front of the evil creature. "Yes I have." His voice filled with determination, but his mind was full of doubt.
