Our story comes to a close now! When I started this story, I doubted anyone would like it. I wrote it just to entertain myself, now it's over 30000 words and 26 chapters long with 47 reviews and 20 follows. It's my longest story to date, and I really enjoyed writing it and all the comments and stuff I've gotten. I'm sad this is over now.

Thanks to everyone who been here since the beginning, or if you've found this a year after it was finished, no matter what, thanks for reading.

I like this AU, maybe I'll do some stuff with this later, like some background and history or maybe something with Alice and Alfred's kids. If you'd like that, review below. Maybe when I lose power again, I'll rewrite it, because it's been about half a year since I wrote it.

Thanks to everyone, and here you go.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or the song/title.

5 Years Later

Alice watched the kingdom quietly, it seemed to finally be settled down. Quiet cobblestone streets, lampposts lighting the buildings rather than shields, those were long gone. It had taken years to get it to this point.

When Solar and Luna had combined, many people had loved it, but still there were some who opposed. It had taken a lot of struggle on both hers and Alfred's part to calm them down. There had been riots and attacks and fights, but now they seemed to be settled. Now they all lived somewhat peacefully.

The new castle had finally been finished. The Queen thought it incorporated both Lunar and Solarian design nicely. Tall towers like Solar's but the open walkways she grew up with.

Madeline and Gilbert lived in the old Solarian castle, some of the barracks were still used for the military. Mostly it was out of use. Alfred's father had died a few years ago, his mother lived in the Solarian castle with them, but apparently she kept away from them all.

Her own parents lived in the former Lunar castle. True to his word, the day Peter turned 18, he came to her and asked permission to leave Sola. Alice decided he'd hate her if she refused. If something were to happen to both her and Alfred, Maddie would get the throne before Peter anyway. She decided there was not a good enough reason to make him stay, and he left a couple weeks later. She hadn't heard from him since.

It was likely he was dead, his supplies only lasted so long. It was just a wasteland out there, all left from the people who came before them. It was possible there were other people, but that was just a possibility. Peter was gone, Alice didn't think he'd be back.

"Hey, what are ya' doing?" The Lunar glanced behind her at the doorway of the study. Alfred was standing there, it was still weird to see him dressed so neatly, it didn't fit him in her opinion. The times they had met in secret, he had been dressed down.

"Nothing, I can't decide much about these budget papers." She returned, he crossed the room to her.

Alfred sat next on the edge of the desk and grabbed one of her hands to hold. "Yeah, I was just trying to figure those out, but I gave up to come see you. How's your arm?"

Seven months ago, Alice was the victim of an attack, supposedly to show hatred against Lunars. At a public speech that Alfred couldn't get to, someone opened a shield next to her. Shields were banned as soon as Alfred could get the order out, they had all been rounded up and stored away, no one was quite sure how to destroy them. The attacker must have kept theirs illegally. The shield contact led to the majority of her left side getting first to third degree burns, her arm got the worst of it. It would've been worse if she wasn't exposed to the sun and daylight beforehand. They seemed to be powered by some powerful energry, like sunlight, but a thousand times stronger. She ended up being in the hospital wing for a couple weeks. She heard from others that Alfred had been a nervous wreck until she was fully released. Now she'd have scars up and down her side for the rest of her life. The attacker still hadn't been found, but Alfred had ordered most of the guards to search for them, he was so protective it was silly.

"It's fine, stop worrying so much." She teased, taking his hand and tangling their fingers together,"Have you narrowed down your top names yet?"

"No, I like them all! Have you?" The King asked.

"For your information, I have. You know we have to pick only two names in the end." The Queen returned.

"We still have six months to decide," Alfred reminded.

"People are going to want to know the names of our children soon." The Lunar smiled, squeezing his hand.

About a week ago, they had announced to Sola that Alice was three months pregnant with twins. If he was so protective with her, she couldn't imagine how he'd be with them. Still, she had no doubt, Alfred would be the best father.

"They can wait until we pick the perfect names." He argued with a grin. She rolled her eyes and returned her gaze to the window. "What's so interesting out there?" The King asked.

"Oh, nothing. It looks like it might snow soon." Alice said.

Alfred nodded,"Sometime soon. You want to go get some lunch, I'm sure Felicana'd love to make something for us."

"Do you ever think of something other than food?" He helped her up.

"I think of you." The Solarian retorted, hugging her closely.

"Mhm." Alice kissed him softly,"I love you."

"I love you, too." Alfred whispered when they broke apart and he took her hands,"Come on!"

The King led his Queen out of the room and away from the almost snowy November outside, very similar to that night so long ago.

The End?
