Sorry for the late chapter, I was preoccupied with working on my literacy project. Hey guys, hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Extremely sorry if it's a bit short, or not as up to standard, I have no motivation to do anything, lately. I'm not sure why, maybe it's a writer's block idk. I won't go on hiatus, so don't worry. Once again I procrastinated, and decided to do most of it on Sunday. I know my excuses are lame, but I'll keep trying. For some reason the stuff I typed up on my laptop didn't save, sorry if it's late! It's probably cause I'm out if ICloud storage which freaking sucks. I'm lame at excuses sorry about that. Enough of my excuses, and onto the story!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the end of the day, everyone was either exhausted, passed out, drunk, or sleeping. There was one exception however, that exception is Sealand.

"Everyone's all passed out and sleeping now. It's only, what, 7 o'clock right now, and you guys think I'm immature." Sealand complained, as he stomped his feet down on the ground. The past two days have been quite crazy, and most people kind of forgot about him. Well, he was glad, that uncle Alfie got the attention he needed. He thought he knew everything about Alfie, guess he was wrong. There's a lot of basic stuff he needed to learn, maybe learning the basic stuff, will help him become closer to becoming a country, and understand everyone around him a little bit. Maybe, he could find someone to teach him this stuff. Well, Iggybrows the drunk, wouldn't be much of a teacher, he'd probably start talking about his 'good old days', and no one wants to go through that. His parents, what about his parents? Yeah, wait, nope, never mind, the likelihood of them teaching him what he wants, is pretty low, they're overprotective, and won't let him learn 'dangerous' stuff. What about Wendy? Yeah! She's always correcting him, so she must be smart, and all the other micro nations can teach me too. I mean history isn't too bad, right? What's the worst it could be? He's jinxing this, isn't he? And all of this health stuff sounds really complicated, so that should be a bit difficult. Why didn't anyone teach him this stuff anyways?

"Hey kiddo! Peter, could you help me up?" America asked. He didn't think anyone else was awake, so he ended up taking a nap. He ended up getting caught, and the three men, ended up nagging him, for pretty much the whole time. Since, he wasn't of age to drink, he ended up drinking root beer, nothing against root beer, he just felt a bit left out. Just a bit. Well it was still fun, with all the cake and celebration.

"Here, take my hand, and I'll pull you up." Sealand said, as he held his hand out. He pulled Alfie up, and noticed how light he was, just like what the others said yesterday. They were right. But, why was he so light? He didn't fully understand why. He was throwing up his food, he knew that, but why do that? It was just confusing. He really felt clueless. Why he wasn't taught this, appalls him, but now that he knows he needs to learn, he'll do it.

"Thanks! Ah, my back hurts, I feel like Arthur now. I'm not even that old, and here I am. Wanna go do something?" America joyfully asked. He viewed Peter like one of his own children. He would give Peter the childhood he never had. He would spoil Peter, because no one else would. All children, needed some kind of fun in their life. Good thing

"Can we watch Disney movies? I've still got lots to go!" Sealand asked. His excitement apparent on his face. Disney movies were always the best. He had many more to go, since he never gets the opportunity to watch them.

"Of course we can. Well first, what do you want to watch?" America asked, as he skipped to with Peter to his room.

"Oh, I know! What about, Frozen? I haven't watched it yet, and it's pretty much a classic now." Sealand suggested. The door to the room opened, as he peaked inside, looking at the messy beds and the scattered clothes.

"You haven't watched it?!? What's wrong with your family?! It pretty much take place in Norway, and they didn't show it you? Now that your in my hands, I can fix this mistake. We're watching Frozen, and screw what everyone else says, it was an awesome movie. I don't care if it's overrated. We. Are. Watching. It. Oh, sorry about the room. It's a bit messy, sorry about that, my roommates and I are really messy. Last I remembered there wasn't a tv, but guess the Ancients were nice enough to give us one. Now, let's grab some snacks, drinks, and candy!" America excitedly said, as he grabbed Peter's hand and pulled him to the kitchen. He was just so happy, everything just went right today. It was a rare occurrence for him, since everyone used to pretty much hate him and his guts. Maybe, this whole secret thing wasn't such a bad thing after all. He's jinxing it, isn't he? He has too many secrets, the others can't know, what would they do if they knew. He's scared of that most. Their reaction. He's done lots of things he shouldn't have. He knows that he shouldn't hide anymore secrets, but he has to. He just wants to tell them his secrets, but they've been burdened too much already. They all have they're own secrets and burdens, it just isn't right to give them even more.
