How long has it been since my last update? Oh well. I was reading this story and suddenly wanted to update. I also realized that this story seems very depressing.

Sealand went through the next few days with a dark cloud over his head. But he hid it. He really didn't like being a burden to this already poor family.

Now I don't even want a ticket, he thought, with that stupid England! At least I think he is. It has to be! They said he was casting a spell when they found him. Everything was just so confusing to Sealand. The nations keep on popping up everywhere, and none of them acted as though life was abnormal. What an odd and lengthy dream...

One morning, the contest was on the news again. It had been quite a long time since the last ticket was found.

After weeks of nothing, the next ticket has been found! The news caster said, Once again, the ticket was found by Alfred from America. He has decided to give to his friend, Tony. All we know about this friend is he looks oddly like an Alien.

America got another ticket? Sealand thought, And he gave his ticket to his weird Alien friend who hates England? WEIRD.

"Well there it is!" Grandpa Tino said, "the last Golden ticket! And it's in the possession of the American's Alien friend!"

"Peter," his mother said, "Why don't you go to school now? I need your father here right now."

"All right!" Sealand said with a smile. Now that the tickets have been found, no more stress!

Sealand walked to school by himself for the first time. Good thing his father took him down this way plenty of times before.

The day went by fast. The next morning was easy as well.

On the way home from school, Sealand spotted something different on the sidewalk. The sun glinted off of it, catching his eye. He picked it up and saw that it was a coin. Cool! he thought,Now I can bring this home to my family! He pocketed the money and continued walking.

On his way there was always a newsstand. He always stopped there to see what was going on in the world. Today there was some particularly interesting news. The article was titled American Fraud.While reading the article, Sealand smiled. Apparently, the ticket that America had found wasn't real. It was discovered a fake that he created so he could bring Tony.

Sealand pulled out the coin and stared at it. Should I spend some of this to try for a ticket?

He ran to the candy shop. "One Wonka bar, please!" He placed the coin on the counter.

"Sure thing, kid," the man answered. He took the coin and placed a Wonka bar on the counter. "I heard the contest is still going on."

"Exactly," Sealand answered, taking the chocolate. He walked outside and leaned against the side of the shop. He opened the bar. A flash of gold cut his eye. He quickly ripped open the the chocolate bar.

It was the last golden ticket.

"YES!" Sealand exclaimed. Everyone turned to look at him. When they saw him holding the ticket, they crowded around him.

"I'll trade you for that!"

"I'll pay you!"

"I will pay you double whatever anyone else offers!"

Sealand was just barely able to escape. He ran all the way home. "Mum! Dad! I've found the last golden ticket!"

"Quit pulling our legs!" His Grandpa returned, "the last Golden ticket was found by that American."

"It was a fake! Look! It's the last ticket!" He handed the ticket to his Grandfather.

Uncle Tino stared at the ticket. "NO WAY!" He jumped out of bed and did a little jig.

"Grandpa!" his father exclaimed, "You're standing!"

Grandpa Tino stared at his legs. "I guess your right."

A/N

I had a nice response with the review questions.

Well, here was my favorite answer. It's from Ricekitty98. 'Cause purple's my favorite eye color too!

Yes, I have changed the rating to T. Because Romano will enter the next chapter. And you know what that means!

Yup. Swears.
