Hello readers! Thanks for clicking on this story, I really appreciate it. I like to think of America and Romano as close because of their former guardians. Plus, I haven't seen as many fanfics about them as I'd like. So that's when this idea sparked! I decided to make it Fem! Romano though. Although, I know I have a bunch of other stories I should update, I just couldn't put off uploading this any longer!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything. The truth just makes you want to cry, doesn't it?

Chapter 1: Being a Hero

A man with messy blonde hair and extremely bushy eyebrows with a black cloak draped over his shoulders stared evilly at the huge pot of miraculous mixtures of colors. He stirred the liquid with a large stick as he laughed maniacally.

"Ha! My potion is almost complete! That damn Carriedo will rue the day he made an enemy of me! I'll make him suffer with my magic. He may have thought this battle was over but I'm not finished yet! With this potion I'll- Oh, what is it Flying Mint Bunny? I wasn't done with my speech yet."

The man, Arthur Kirkland, looked down at his shoulder where his fairy friend was supposed to be. After a few minutes of staring down at nothing he exclaimed, "You thought it was cheesy?! My word, since when were you so rude?"

"I was only speaking the truth, Arthur~!" she replied with a shy smile.

"Well you don't have a good sense of judgment," he muttered before asking, "What was it you wanted?"

"Oh! I just wanted to warn you that you have some guests over at the moment~."

"Guests? I wonder who they could be. I didn't even hear them knock." Sighing, Arthur set the huge stick down. "I should probably open the door for them and get some tea started. Sorry Antonio, but your demise will have to be postponed for now." As he made his way towards the basement door he was stopped by Flying Mint Bunny's cry, "Wait! Arthur! They're already inside. They kicked down your door-"

"HAHA! THE HERO IS HERE!" The declaration ignited through the house as the door burst open and immediately sent Flying Mint Bunny flying.

"Oh no! Flying Mint Bunny!" Arthur cried with a horrified expression. He glared at the person who entered the room. Or more like, persons.

"ALFRED F. JONES THE HERO HAS ARRIVED TO SAVE THE DAY AND RID THE WORLD OF VILLIANS LIKE YOU!" announced a blonde boy wearing a bombers jacket. His glasses gleamed as he smirked at the man before him. "Oh, and this is my side kick, Wild Flower!"

The girl who walked in behind him scowled. "I never agreed to be your side kick bastard. And what's with the shitty name?"

"IT'S NOT SHITTY!"

"Stop shouting, you're hurting my eardrums!" The girl demanded, placing her hands on her hips giving the boy an annoyed expression.

Arthur stared at them in shock. "Alfred?! What the bloody hell are you doing here?!"

"Are you deaf?! I already said I was here to rid the world of villains like you. Come on man, I didn't think you were that old," explained Alfred.

"I'm not old!" snapped Arthur. "For god sakes Alfred, what is going on in that idiotic head of yours?"

The boy frowned. "Who's Alfred? I'm AWESOME MAN!"

Arthur gave him a deadpanned look. "No way in hell."

"That's what I said!" said the girl with the hair curl.

"Chiara, really? You allowed yourself to get dragged into this nonsense?" asked Arthur.

"Shut up, tea bastard!"

Arthur let out a sigh. "This is stupid. I'll kindly request that you leave. I have some important matters to attend to."

"Important matters? What could be more important than ME?!" yelled Alfred. "But in any case, I know what you're up to Darth Tea Man! I know all about your plan to attack Antonio with your dark magic!"

Arthur gasped in shock. "W-What?! How?!"

"I'm not stupid-"

"I beg to differ."

"- All I had to do was follow you home and watch your activities!"

"You STALKED me?!"

"And it was worth it too! Do you know how much black mail I got out of it?!"

"You're the villain here!" screamed Arthur.

"No! I'm the HERO! The hero is always hot!"

"What does that have to do with it?"

"Relax Iggy- I mean Darth Tea Man!"

"Since when was THAT my name?!"

Alfred ignored him and pointed his finger at the Brit. "In the name of the Moon I shall punish you!" With that, Alfred charged. On impulse Arthur dodged the attack, causing the silly American to land into a dusty book shelf.

"OW!" Immediately, Alfred was back on his feet. "Hey! You cheated!"

"How was that cheating?! How do you even cheat in something like this?!"

Chiara rolled her eyes at her partner's stupidity. As she watched Alfred begin to attack Arthur again, only to have him dodge the attacks, she noticed something. In the middle of the room sat a huge black pot. A glowing light emitted from it. At this, Chiara cocked an eyebrow, knowingly.

"Alfred!" she shouted, trying to get his attention, as he swung at Arthur and finally hitting him. Arthur stumbled backwards and onto the floor.

Alfred didn't look at her as she shouted once again. "Alfred!"

She knew he heard her. What the hell was he doing? Then it suddenly hit her.

She rolled her eyes and yelled, "Awesome Man!"

Alfred immediately spun around to face her with a cocky grin. "What's up Tomato Girl?!"

"I thought my name was Wild Flower," she grunted. "Anyway, see that pot in the middle of the room? That's what the Tea Bastard is trying to use against the Tomato Bastard! Get rid of it."

"Alrighty~!" he exclaimed as he ran over to the potion.

Arthur saw this and screamed, "NO! Not my potion! Do you know how hard it was to make that?! Not to mention how long it took me to get the ingredients!"

Chiara smirked as Alfred took the pot and lifted it with his infamous inhuman strength and threw it on the ground. The contents spilled onto the floor, almost touching Alfred's feet. At this, Arthur cried in defeat.

"Looks like you lose, Darth Tea Man," Alfred exclaimed with a triumphant smile on his face. He returned back to Chiara's side as he watched his enemy struggle to stand up.

Arthur looked distraught. "I-I lost …" Suddenly, something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. Something green and small lay hidden under a pile of books. Arthur's eyes widened in shock as he raced over to the figure, forgetting about his pain.

"F-Flying Mint Bunny?! Flying Mint Bunny!" he cried. "A-Are you alright?! Answer me!"

Alfred and Chiara watched with blank expressions.

The American bent over and whispered, "Who is he talking to?"

"Shut up idiota."

Arthur stumbled to the ground and picked up his friend who lay there still. Finally the creature opened one shaky eye lid and spoke, "S-Sorry Arthur. I didn't warn you sooner …"

"No! It's quite alright my friend. I should've been keeping an open mind. Anything can happen when you taste Reese's Puffs."

Flying Mint Bunny's eyes widened in shock as she croaked out, "D-did you eat that for breakfast this morning?"

Arthur looked away in shame. "I'm sorry. I should've told you. I was just … too scared!"

Offering a weak smile, Flying Mint Bunny said, "It's alright. I don't blame you at all. I only wished, I was stronger."

"Why would you wish that?" Arthur asked, tears threatening to fall.

"If I was stronger," she explained, "I would have been able to stop Awesome Man from entering."

"Don't think like that! Even if you were stronger you wouldn't-"

Flying Mint Bunny's eyes were slowly closing. "A-Arthur, I … I think my time is up."

"WHAT?! No! Flying Mint Bunny, don't leave me! You can't go!" shouted Arthur. "You are my only friend!"

Alfred snorted.

The magically creature giggled to the best of her abilities. "I'm glad you think that way. But what about Uni and Tinker Bell and Hook? They will look after you in my place."

Arthur shook his head. "No, I don't want anyone else. Please Flying Mint Bunny!"

"G-Good bye Arthur …" murmured the creature. "… My only regret … is making you cry over something so silly as my passing on."

"It's not SILLY! Only Alfred would think it's silly! Don't go!"

"Who's Alfred?" asked Alfred. "I don't know anyone by that name."

"Of course you wouldn't Awesome Man," scoffed Chiara.

Sad tears came pouring down out of Arthur's eyes as Flying Mint Bunny fell limp in his hands. "NO! Flying Mint Bunny! Please! Don't go!" He shot his head up towards the sky and screamed dramatically, "FLYING MINT BUNNY!"

"…"

Alfred looked over at Chiara. "… What just happened?"

Hearing the American's voice, Arthur spun towards him and shouted, "Get out! You did this! This is all your fault! Get out!"

Alfred looked a little sad. "I-I'm sorry man. I didn't know you're imaginary friends meant that much to you-"

"I SAID GET OUT!"

"Okay, okay!" exclaimed Alfred and he and Chiara stumbled out of the basement. Hurriedly, they got to the top of the stairs and headed for the door they(Alfred) had kicked down earlier.

Once they were out of the house Chiara unexpectedly slapped him upside the head. "OW!" Alfred frowned. "What the hell Super Pizza Girl?!"

"I thought my name was Tomato Girl! And I hit you because you're a bastard, bastard." With that said, she walked away. Alfred stared blankly at her departing figure before running to catch up.

"Wait for me Pasta Woman!"

"IDIOTA!"

Alfred sat there, sipping his soda from the straw making an obnoxious noise. He stared at his Italian partner in wonder as she angrily chewed on an almost burnt French fry.

"Hey, Chiara," began the American before taking a bite out of his Big Mac.

"What is it idiota?"

"I have a feeling you're angry at me …"

"No, really?" she asked sarcastically.

"Is that sarcasm?"

"No, stupid head."

"Oh, okay, because I could've sworn-"

"Shut up."

Alfred continued on his burger. He chewed and stared at her intently before speaking again, "Now I'm really confused. You said you're not mad but you look completely angry."

"Has anyone told you to shut up before?"

"I know you have."

She scowled. "Idiota."

"What did I do?!"

After letting out a sigh, Chiara finally said, "That tea Bastard looked sad when we left."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I didn't know he was that crazy and I've known him all my life. I knew he was attached to his magical friends but still-"

"IDIOTA!" she grabbed his soda and whacked him on top of the head with it.

"HEY! And with my own cup too."

"How insensitive can you be? Damn idiota."

"I'm not insensitive! … Am I?"

The Italian rolled her eyes. "Why do I even bother?"

Alfred frowned. "You know, if I did something wrong you should tell me. I'll never know how to fix it if you don't. A hero needs to fix every problem."

Chiara glanced away and chewed on another fry. "I hate McDonald's."

"Is that it?"

"NO! Even though I hate that Tea Bastard, he looked retarded and sad! It's your fault too!" she gave him a stony look. "I thought Heroes were supposed to solve problems not make them."

Alfred sweat dropped. "W-Well I-!" he stopped mid-sentence and sighed. "I know … But I'll make up for it Chiara!"

She cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah! You'll see! I'll be a GREAT hero one day! When that day comes I will be known for my courageous deeds and my awesomeness! I won't make anyone cry again!"

"Really? I'd like to see it to believe."

"Don't worry! It'll happen. I promise!" he exclaimed excitedly. Chiara hid the small smile that was forming under her hands. She looked away and said, "Only an idiota like you would say that."

"Well, thanks~!"

"That wasn't a compliment … I think!" she growled.

Alfred laughed whole-heartedly. "Yeah, yeah."

Not even meeting his gaze, Chiara immediately got up and threw his last two Big Macs in the garbage, along with her fries and his drink.

"HEY!"

"That stuff's not good for your body," she stated. "Bastard Heroes need to be fit. Deal with it."

Alfred whimpered but nodded anyway. "… Fine …" He stood up and made his way over to his partner as she began to leave the area. "Hey," he began. "What do you think Iggy's doing right now, seeing as we did so much damage."

"You did the damage and don't ask me burger bastard."

Arthur stood in the rain, his cloak now gone. He wore a black suit with nice fancy shoes. He stood before a grave, imbedded into the wet grass as the rain continued to fall. His eyes teared up and he clutched onto the flowers in his hand even more so. Magical creatures surrounded him, holding their heads low in sadness.

"Today," started Arthur, "we have lost a very dear friend of ours. She was a very cherished friend. S-She smiled all the time. She never got angry and when she knew something was wrong, she wouldn't hesitate to inform me." He shut his eyes closed as the tears fell. "Her name was Flying Mint Bunny. F-For all her hard work, she will be remembered and known as my m-most trusted partner."

Now gazing up at the sky, he murmured, "We only wish, Flying Mint Bunny that you like the place you have gone to and are loved just as much as you were here." Giving the grave one last glance, Arthur began rubbing his eyes and said, "Alright, Tinker Bell, your friends can stop the rain now."

Suddenly the pouring water stopped and the bright sunny sky was visible.

"Everyone, I brought scones!" Arthur announced with a cheesy smile. "Let's all eat together in honor of our lost friend!"

The magical creatures cheered and immediately they all began having a picnic.

Flying Mint Bunny, thought Arthur, Stay safe … wherever you are. I will never forget you …

Above the tall trees, however, a little green figure with tiny little wings sighed. It giggled excitedly before saying, "That Arthur, he doesn't even know I'm still alive. Someday … I'll reveal it to him. But for now …" she flew away and magically wound up at a beach. "I'm going to go on vacation~!"
