Always With Me... My Nordic Family!

"Woo! Our little (Name) is graduating!"

"Shut up Denmark."

"Denmark, Norway, shh. (Name)'s coming up!"

The five of them hushed as (Name) was called up. They watched as she walked up onto the stage, and received her diploma. The entire room was silent as she walked up to the podium for her graduation speech.

"Ah, testing." (Name) gave a small mic check before proceeding with her speech.

"I'd like to thank everyone for coming here to the graduation ceremony.." Starts (Name), it was obvious that her speech was improvised.

"Did she not prepare?" Whispered Finland concerned. He didn't want his little girl to embarrass herself on such an important day.

"I d'n't kn'w. (I don't know.)" Replied Sweden in a hushed voice. The Nordic five watched as (Name) composed herself, as if nervous to voice out what she had to say.

"There are many people who I would like to thank." Continues (Name), "Friends, teachers. There are many people who I could name and thank for their help. Honestly there is and if I had all the time in the world to thank them, it probably wouldn't be enough." (Name) takes a deep breath.

"But, there are a few who have stuck by my side since the very beginning. I'll tell you all the truth; sixteen years ago I was left on a doorstep. The orphanage that I was from closing down." Spoke (Name). There were a few quiet gasps of surprise but (Name) ignored them.

"But, the door opened and a man came out. He called for the others and held me in his arms. I was only two then. All of them were unsure as to what to do with me, but the man who held me was determined to keep me, to take care of me, and love me. That man is Finland; my father." There was a small sniff sound from where the Nordics were seated. (Name) heard it and giggled slightly.

"Now my father, is probably one of the most cheerful people on the face of the planet. He shows a lot of affection and it is obvious that he really cares about people. Growing up, my father would worry about me constantly, worrying that I might get hurt or mixed up with the wrong crowd. Just worried about the things that any other parent would worry about. But despite his constant worry, I knew that he would be by my side no matter what happens. Even if I turn out to be the worst child in the world, I know my father will still love me. He would be sad, but he will still love me. I guess you can say that I'm Finland's little girl." (Name) then gave a content sigh and smiles when she hears her father hiccup.

"But my dad isn't the only one who stuck with me. When I was found, there was another man too. He offered to help my father take care of me and has never left my side since." (Name) chuckles, "Every time I say this people don't seem to understand fully. But the other man who took care of me is Sweden; my mother." Denmark chuckles at the thought of Mama Sweden. (Name) shushes him.

"Uncle Denmark, shh." She says. Denmark instantly quiets down making (Name) giggle. Oh uncle Denmark.

"Anyway, mom may look intimidating at times, he is actually really kind and gentle! He works hard and likes to make furniture. He and dad are both really good with taking care of me. Even though Mom's pretty gentle, he can be really scary when it comes down to it. One time when I was little, I wandered of on my own and was caught by these two men. But mom and dad came to save me. While dad held me in his arms, mom ran off to deal with the ones who wanted to harass me! I'll never forget that incident and because of that I learnt something; don't mess with mama Sweden." (Name) paused for a while, the entire room silent.

"My parents, they're also not the only ones who stuck with me. There are also my uncles; Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. Now uncle Denmark, he always declares himself to be awesome." Denmark opened his mouth to protest but was stopped by a death glare from Norway.

"If you interrupt (Name)'s speech I will kill you." He whispers. Denmark gulps and shrinks back into his chair.

"And honestly, he can get pretty cocky most of the time. He sits around drinking beer, making fun of everyone, he's just that guy that you feel like hitting when he annoys you. But still, regardless, uncle Denmark really is a good person. So what if he teases me and randomly grabs me out of the blue for a noogie? I know that it's just his way of showing affection." (Name) chuckles in the middle of her speech.

"Uncle Denmark may seem like an idiot. But he really can be responsible, if only a little. I guess that's just the awesomeness of uncle Denmark."

"WOOO YEAH! THAT'S MY NIECE!" Cries Denmark. Everyone in the room stares at him but he ignores it and continues cheering for his niece. He stops abruptly when he is pulled harshly by his tie.

"Idiot." Mutters Norway irritably. (Name) giggles at his actions.

"Uncle Norgie!" She laughs. "Uncle Norway, he's a really quite person. But won't hesitate to um...do stuff to uncle Denmark when he's being an idiot." Speaks (Name) unsure whether she should talk about her uncle Norway's habit of strangling uncle Denmark to her entire school or not. "Anyway, despite being quite I can always go to uncle Norway for advice and he tells me a lot of stories, especially the fairy tale type stories which I love to listen to." Norway smiles softly as (Name) closes her eyes, as if in remembrance of the stories he told.

"There is also another thing about uncle Norway, he is amazing when it comes to the violin. When he plays, the sound it gives off is filled with so much passion that you get sucked in and everything around you vanishes. People don't really notice this, but sometimes you can tell how he feels with his violin playing. Uncle Norway, he is the one who taught me to play the violin. I remember when he first taught me, he taught me with his personal violin. It was such a huge honor because I know it's uncle Norway's violin." (Name) looks over to her uncle Iceland and smiles.

"Last, but not least." She says, "There is uncle Iceland. He is the youngest uncle so often he gets teased and I will admit I tease him too. But there are those moments, where uncle Iceland is just...how do I put this..." (Name) sighs. "There are times where uncle Iceland would react like a child, but there are those moments where he is quite mature. He may seem standoffish but he truly cares. I know because there are many times in my life where I get frustrated, and he's there to listen. He may not say anything at times but I know that he listens. Oh, and one more thing, do you all see this?" (Name) points to the hair pin in her hair. "Uncle Iceland gave this to me as a graduation gift, and he also made my dress but you can't see it at the moment. Hehehe, I can't help but have the image of uncle Iceland the fairy godmother." She chuckles as Iceland blushes at that image.

(Name) gives a huge sigh and she looks to her family. She smiles lovingly at them as she remembers the life she spent with all of them. It saddened her and made her tear as she knew that the speech that she was giving was soon coming to a close. (Name) places a hand on her chest as she felt it tighten.

"Those five people..." She says quietly, "I love them so much. So much that all that I've said still cannot explain how much I appreciate them. And it would take many, many lifetimes for me to thank each and everyone of them. And even as I close this speech, and even as I prepare to leave for college. I know this one thing, they are always with me, my Nordic family."

(Name) felt tears roll down her cheeks as she ended her speech and walked off the stage.

"Hey (Name)! Are you coming to the graduation party?" (Name) looks over at her friends before looking at her family. She smiles and went to give her friends a hug.

"Sorry, but I'm spending that time with my family." She said. Her friends nodded understandingly.

"See you later (Name)!" They cry. Sweden walks up to (Name) and places a hand on her shoulder.

"R'dy t' g'? (Ready to go?)" He asks. (Name) looks up at her mother and smiles.

"Yes. Let's go."

-Extended Ending-

"I-I-I can't believe that you're already leaving!" cried Finland, tears uncontrollably roll down his face as he struggled to keep his composure.

"Aw man Finland, your'e making me cry!" Denmark sniffs and he grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket. The six of them were standing in the airport, ready to send (Name) off. (Name) takes out her own handkerchief and dabs the tears from Finland's face.

"Dad, I'll be okay." She says with a teary smile.

"B-B-But take care of yourself okay?!" sobs Finland.

"I'm fine."

"L'st'n t' y'r f'th'r..(Listen to your father)."

"Ah! Mom, you're crying too!" (Name) takes her handkerchief from Finland and begins to wipe off Sweden's tears.

"Jeez, everyone's crying." Mutters Iceland quietly.

"What, and you're not crying either?" Replies Norway. Iceland flushes and hastily wipes his eyes.

"I'm not!"

"Big brother."

"We are not starting this now!" Both Norway and Iceland cease as they hear (Name) laughing and crying.

"You guys! You're not making this any easier!" Norway walks over to (Name) and pats her head.

"Then cry. It's okay." He says. (Name)'s lips quiver and she wraps her arms around Norway; crying.

"Group hug!" Sobs Denmark; placing his arms around (Name). Soon, she was enveloped in a Nordic sandwich.

"I-I l-love you a-all!" Sobs (Name).
