Chapter Eight: China and Spain are Hopeful
"If they hid their states from us what else are they hiding?" Germany demanded.
"An alien, a whale, voodoo and a unicorn" Prussia said without missing a beat.
"The unicorn I gave him?" Arthur asked.
"Think so" Gilbert shrugged.
"These... states, are they dangerous Aru?" China asked.
"That depends, they are mostly older kids and young teens so to each other, they wrestle but it's all in good fun. They can't make any decisions to harm us either way." Lithuania piped in.
"They are as dangerous as a bunch of teens can be, but with super strength and very intense hatred toward France and England." Belarus spoke.
"Attendre. Quoi!?" France exclaimed.
"Yeah they kinda want you dead, witch is totally unawesome by the way, but can't because then Alfred would be disappointed" Gilbert butted in.
"Are they dangerous." Ludwig demanded.
"SHUT UP POTATO BASTARD OR-A I"M MAKING THEM DANGEROUS" Southern Italy shouted.
"What do you mean by that fratello?" Northern Italy asked, confused.
"Republic has the knowledge and power to kill, all it-a takes is the right about of money" Lovino muttered only his little brother hearing. The younger italy paled a little and turned his head back to Ludwig.
"How many are there?" Japan asked.
"50 is my guess for America" Greece said tapping at his phone before nesting back in to sleep.
"No, 53 states personified for America, then the republic of Texas, the city of Austin, DC, 5 territories, For canada it's 13. For Mexico it's 31. For micronations it's 9 for Alfred and 3 for Canada. That in total is... 116 in total" Finland explained.
"Ok, who knew OF the existence of these... children" Germany asked, hesitant to use the word children.
Southern Italy
Seborga
Prussia
Finland
Sweden
The rest of the nordics
Belarus
Lithuania
The micronations
Then the entirety of Latin America
They all raised their hands.
"Who personally knows at least a few of these children"
Southern Italy
The micronation
Prussia
Finland
Sweden
Belarus
Lithuania
Brazil
Venezuela
El Salvador
Kept their hands up.
"I knew the republic of Texas? Does that count?" Spain asked.

"You knew of them you git?!" England screamed.
"No, hes much different then when you knew him" Brazil laughed remembering the teen.
Brazil met Texas and Vermont first as they were former countries. Texas for 9 years and Vermont for 14, Texas had more experience and was older since he existed since the 1600ish. Trigger happy southerner and angry northerner where terrible stereotypes.
Texas was a semi calm farmer with a love of music and acted like a weird mix of Alfred, Spain and Mexico. Vermont was a maple syrup lover who is always down for a fight.
Nice kids but they were terrifying when given the chance.
"Ar-are they nice?" Latvia asked nervously.
"Yeah! Aussie lets us come to his concerts at Dallas' restaurant and we get to eat whatever we want! Sometimes Francisco, Leta and Veronica join us!" Sealand said excitedly.
"Luca shows us all his really cool pets! Even if they are a little scary. He took us to desney the last time we went to Florida with Marc, Andriana." Seborga added.
"Alec, Alejandria, Anastasia and Cadence take photos so I can use them as references. They ARE ART" Kugelmugel states with emphasis.
"Nixon is good with computers! He's good enough for me to be friends with him!" Ladonia huffed.
"Max, Martin and Jay know how to beat the heat and share their ice cream and swimming pool, that's good enough for me" Wy commented.
The nations where in shock of how well the tiny nations knew of the states.
"I got a message from Birdie" Prussia stated, "He says meet him at a certain house that's a day drive away... This is totally unawesome" He sighed.
"Vhys that?" Ludwig asked his brother.
"Because there being forced, be prepared for a very awesome velcome" Prussia warned, many others nodding.
"Prussia how do jou know these... states" Germany asked.
"Vest, there all under 17. The only one who will hurt jou is Austin when you wake him up or if it's playful wrestling" Gilbirt signed, "I trained Alferd, I barged into his house to check on him a couple of years after his revolution and found 5 kids at the table eating breakfast and helped babysit them after that"

"Fratello?" Feliciano asked
"I lived with him" Lovino muttered.
"Same with me" Natalia said glaring at the other nations.
"Umm same with me..." Lithuania said hesitantly.
"And you?" England asked Peter.
"I had to talk to America so he would let me into his borders so I could try and meet other up and coming nations! He decided to just ask the states that had micronations and Dean said we could meet Molossia! A couple of months later we met Nevada as long as we didn't tell anyone. Then we met everyone else over the next couple of months. We still don't know all of them but we are working on it." Sealand explained with a bright smile.
"Finland aru?" China asked
"I deliver presents to everyone around the world, I had substitutions for years but I got conformation during the great depression" Finland explained.
"I barged into the house I thought he was in then got knocked out with a tire jack" Denmark sighed rubbing the back of his head.
"I found out f'rm m'wife." Sweden said calmly, although he was screaming internally.
"I sensed magic and ran into a few of the Mexican and American states" Norway said flately
"One of Canada's children sailed to far, got lost and ended up in my territory, I had to call Matthew to come and get him" Iceland explained.
"Brazil?" Spain asked.
"I found out through Diego, he came down to watch the world cup and just let it slip amistad his screaming" The brazilian shrugged.
"I was there... and winning" El Salvador smiled.
"Why didn't you tell any of us?" England demanded.
"The states didn't want to meet you so we never mention them. That's their call not ours" Denmark shrugged, it made sense to all of them.
"That makes sense aru" China concluded, children were children. If they didn't want to meet the nations then they didn't want to meet the nations. Simple as that.
China knew children, he loved children and always volunteers at orphanages. If that girl, Delaware he believed was her name, cared for her father enough to threaten England then there was something else to America.
China thought for a moment, perhaps America was more mature then he shows? To keep eyes on him not on the little slip up that his states have had. China wondered.
"Well if we want to get there soon I think we should leave soon, I will be in the bus." Balerus said standing up grabbing her stuff and headed out.
Nations slowly followed suit.
Soon they all are on the bus with Prussia at the wheel. He followed the gps threw the roads of Oklahoma and soon Texas. Then a phone call took over the speakers.
Prussia accepted the call after yelling at the nations to shut up.
"Hey tio" a southern accent greeted.
"Hey Aussie! How's it going? Everything settled? Anything on fire yet?" Prussia asked rapidly/
"Good, kinda and not yet, but i'm in the garden. I felt you cross the border. How long till you get here?" 'Aussie' asked.
"Just crossed 10 hours at the least" Prussia said earning a laugh from the boy.
"Trekking through the pan handle huh?" That earned a fit of giggles that gave Spain a hopeful smile. "Good luck, there should be a lot of food places on the side of the roads so plenty of places to eat, which I recommend. Texan roads get an isolated feeling to them. So you should really eat something. Now on dat note, gotta eat soon. Stupid state, republic fuck up of a motabilism" Prussia laughed with the republic.
"Go and eat, i'll call when ve get close" Prussia said.
"Si senor, i'm going to get to the churros before Max and Jay eat them all. Buenas noches!"
"Gute Nacht," Prussia said before the boy hung up.
Spain had a smile on his face with eyes filled with memories. He was looking forward to this, but he knew he had to be patient, Texas was texas, being stubborn was in his blood. He would have to be patient to gain his trust all over again. But that was okay, He could wait.

The Due
Every sailor knows the tale of Davy Jones' Locker. That place drowned sailors are sent to, ever resting on sea's bed. Some tales recount of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman. Many a story has spawned from these two tales. Countless retellings mixing in their own fictions. But all stories spawn with a kernel of truth to them, and the story of Davy Jones is no exception. Those who've met the legendary seaman and his ghostly ship might call him a ferryman, escorting the drowned to their respective afterlives. Others might call him a devil, meting punishment on those deserving. The true story is always slightly different. Davy Jones is a ferryman, but not one for the afterlife, as Walter finds out. No, Davy Jones manages those who die at sea while in debt, and Walter died with a lot of debt. Unable to pay, Davy puts Walter to work. The specter has just the job for the dead college graduate. Another god, Sod, needs an afterlife for his new world. Davy tasks Walter with the job. Suddenly, Walter finds himself having to run a fledgling underworld with little instruction from Sod. To top it off, the denizens of Sod's world have their own ambitions to achieve godhood, and they won't take kindly to Sod's newest employee shaking up the status quo. [Traumatizing Content tag is up just to let everyone know this will be a story that deals with different themes of death. Some of them won't be nice and so better to be safe than sorry.]
