Sparkles

Age 7

"He-he! Norge, look at this!" you called over to the quiet boy sitting next to you, poking him in the shoulder.

Norway looked up with a blank expression on his face, only to have them quickly closed when he got rainbow sparkles in them (along with his face and hair).

You laughed, but stopped when you noticed he wasn't laughing.

"N-Nor? Are you okay?" you asked.

"No" he replied, getting out of his seat and feeling his way around the classroom filled with little kids his age and over to the teacher. You felt kind of bad when he had to leave school early. Denmark was laughing though.

Age 12

You gulped. Today was your first day of 7th Grade, and also your first time going to a Jr. High, and it was nerve-racking. You looked over at Norway, who was standing next to you with the same blank expression as when he was younger, showing no signs of nervousness. You then looked over at Denmark on the other side of you, who looked back at you with a toothy grin, as always. You could tell that he was nervous; it was just the three of you now. Finland, Sweden, and Iceland were still at Elementary school, and you kind of wished that you were too. You snapped out of your thoughts when you saw Norway beginning to walk to the doors, Denmark following suit. Nodding, you forced yourself to follow behind, not knowing the different events going to happen in your future.

Age 13

"Okay, Den, Nor. What classes did you get?" you asked your two best friends who were in front of the office as you walked up to them. Sneaking a look at Denmark's paper, who brightened when you saw that he had Science with you, but you almost jumped for joy to see that Norway had Science with you and Denmark also.

"Great! We have the same classes, so that means we get to see each other more often! I hope Sweden won't get lost on his way there, though..." you told them, looking around the huge group of chatting kids for the tall blonde.

"Nor, ________, I'll be right back" Denmark told you and Norway before he ran off.
You sighed, looking at Norway, who had a straight face. You then linked arms with him, which caused him to look up at you. Taking him along with you, you ignored his protests as you two searched for the 7th Grade Swede, forgetting about Denmark.

You suddenly let go of Norway's arm and saw it. Sparkles. Of course you didn't like sparkles that much anymore, but it was funny when you blew them in Norway's face.

"Hey, Nor. I'll be right back" you told him and ran off to get the tube of sparkles.

When you returned, you had a handful of sparkles in one hand, which you had ready to blow in his face. You tapped him on the shoulder, to which he turned around. You blew sparkles in his face just like when you were younger, and it got in his hair and eyes like before. You giggled but then frowned when Norway pushed passed you to get to the Nurse's office, so you grabbed his wrist.

"Sorry. Old habit. I'll bring you too the Nurse's Office, Nor" you apologized, leading him down the hall  and into the Nurse's Office, where you saw Sweden, who had a  big, bleeding cut on his arm. You cringed.

Age 15

You walked down the halls of your High School, arms linked with Norway. No, you two were not together, but you realized that you had a crush on him in the later part of Jr. High, but you never thought that the seemingly emotionless teen would ever feel the same.

"Nor! ________! Wait up!" you heard your other best friend, Denmark, call, hearing him run down the hall to catch up with you, Sweden behind him.

"Hey Den, Su-san" you greeted, turning around just enough that you could see your two friends.

"Why are you here?" Norway asked, his trademark blank face on.

Denmark grinned.

"Well, Nor. If you wanted to be alone with ________ that much, you could have just said so..." he grinned.

"I wasn't meaning it that way, idiot. You said that you were sick yesterday" he said, sighing. You frowned a little, looking at your pals.

"About that... I lied to get out of doing the big science test. I needed to study more" Denmark said, giving you and Norway his signature grin.

You sighed, shaking your head and smiling at the Dane, who just got hit in the head with one of Norway's books.

"Well maybe that will help" the Norwegian told him, stepping back next to you. He then turned around to his locker, but didn't expect what would happen next. He opened his locker and immediately got sparkles all over his face and in his hair, causing you and Denmark to burst out laughing, but you stopped when Norway shoved passed you and went across the hall (With the help of Sweden) to the Nurse's Office. Denmark couldn't stop laughing, though.

Age 16

Tonight was all about you. Tonight was your Sweet Sixteen. You invited all of you friends, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, America, England, China, Belgium, Hungary, Switzerland, etc.
You were currently being tied down to a chair by Liechtenstein and Hungary, who were trying to find the right earrings, while Taiwan was currently attacking your closet to find a decent dress.

"________, how come you have so much boyish stuff here?" the Asian called to you.

You shrugged.

" I don't know. I'm just not into this stuff, so could I please just go in a t-shirt and shorts?" you pleaded, but it was to no avail.

Taiwan then left to go get one of her dresses for you to wear.

"Miss Hungary, vhat about dis pair?" Liechtenstein asked Hungary, who took them from the young girl's hand and held them up to your ears, nodding her head.

"I think that they are perfect!" she smiled, putting them down on the table in front of you, which had a big mirror on it.

Taiwan came back with a shiny (f/c) dress and a necklace that had a piece of a "Best Friends" charm on it. You, Liechtenstein, Hungary, and Taiwan all had one, and if you put them together, it would connect and form a heart.

You arrived at your party in the dress Taiwan got you. It went down to a little above your knees, and shone like a star. You also had (f/c) heels on and a little bit of make-up on. You looked stunning.

You and you friends walked into the building and opened the doors to see many different people and countries alike chatting amongst themselves. You smiled when you saw Denmark waving you over.

"I'll be right back, girls" you told the three girls next to you and walked off.

"Hey, guys!" you smiled, but the five of the Nordics had their eyes glued to you.

"You look nice" Iceland smiled.

"Very pretty!" Finland clapped his hands together.

"Nice..." Sweden mumbled.

"Amazing. Stunning!" Denmark flashed his signature grin ad he complemented you.

"Y-You, um, l-look.... Perfect" Norway murmured, but you heard him. To show that you knew, you placed a quick kiss on his cheek, causing him to look away.

"You guys don't look to shabby yourselves" you nodded, grinning. The five had tuxedos on, and their hair was slicked back, giving off a sexy vibe.

Just then, (Favorite Song) began to play. You smiled. You felt a tap on your shoulder and you turned around to see Norway holding his hand out to you, emotionless as ever.

"Want to dance?" he asked softly, and you nodded as you took his hand.
When the song finished, you quickly looked over at Taiwan, who gave you the thumbs-up and ran over to something. You took a step back, and a second or two later, sparkles began to fall on Norway's head, but barely any got in his eyes. You and Denmark laughed like you did whenever something like that happened, and even Iceland and Finland joined in. Norway glared at you and stormed off, out of the party.

"N-Norge!" you called.

"Don't call me that!" he snapped, slamming the door as he left. He didn't talk to you after that.

Age 18

You sighed. Prom was in a few weeks and you had been asked by many different people, and even Denmark asked you to try to cheer you up. You thanked him, but told him that you weren't going. He didn't understand what you were going through. You loved Norway, even if he barely showed emotion. It just made it better when he did. When he wouldn't talk to you the day after your party, your heart broke for the first time. Finland told you that time heals all wounds, but even though you said that you were fine, you felt as if time just hadn't come around your corner yet.

You held back a tear threatening to escape as you took the route to your house that you would take with Denmark and Norway since you were younger. A small fairy appeared in front of you, frowning slightly. Norway gave you the fairy as your eleventh birthday gift, and the magical creature could only be seen by you, Norway, and England. The blue fairy poked your nose with its wand, causing small sparkles to go fluttering to the ground.

"Not now... I need to go home and study" you told her, to which the fluttering creature huffed.

"Why do you have to be so much like Norway?" she said in her high-pitched voice. You froze.

Not noticing the tears beginning to stream down your face, you dropped you things and took off into the woods. You woke up being carried home by Sweden, Denmark next to him at around midnight. Denmark was carrying you stuff that you dropped. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw the blue fairy wave before disappearing into her magical realm.

Day Before Prom

"Where do you think you're going?" a voice called out to you, which only made you try to run faster, but they were faster.

The bullies caught up to you and pushed you into a tree, causing you to cry out in pain and slump down against it. They laughed at you, resuming their torturing.
You felt like wanting to die, but you knew that you would only pass out, but what you were worried about is if no one found you.

Feeling like giving in, you cried out one more desperate call.

"Help! Help..."

The last thing you remember is seeing a red fairy along with a figure run over to you, before the world went black.

Age 18 - Graduation Day

You were going to graduate today, going to leave the life that you knew and start a new one. You didn't want you, but you had no choice. Estonia was valedictorian, and was currently making a speech, but you were zoning out, looking at Norway, who looked the same as he did that night. He looked at you, waved slightly, and you two locked eyes. For a moment you even though gave you a small smile, but you shook that thought out of your head.

"________ _____" the principal called and you looked away from Norway.

You walked up to the stage and took the diploma gratefully while you shook his hand.

When it was over, you marched up to Norway, ready to slap him in the face.

You didn't expect what happened next.

Suddenly, your eyes hurt and your face and hair were covered in multi-colored sparkles.

"What the hell!" you yelled, earning a few confused glances from students.

You were guided somewhere, and suddenly your eyes didn't hurt, so you slowly opened them. In front of you was Norway, who looked at you with a guilty look on his face. Forgetting everything, you lunged for him and began to cry, not noticing that since he wasn't expecting the surprise hug, fell over with you on top. You just cried until you heard a high pitched "Ahem?" come from behind you. You looked to see your fairy, grinning. Sheepishly smiling, you got up and grabbed you stuff, not knowing that Norway put something in your yearbook.

15 Years Later

You were now 33 years old and have a good life, but there was always this aching in your heart. You missed Norway. You wished that you could see the red fairy again and ask how he was doing, but she never came back to you. Wanting to see his picture again, you were looking through your yearbook, smiling at the different memories stored in there. However, when you reached the back of the book, you saw something written that made tears form in you eyes.

"________, I love you. Always have, always will. I hope we will get over our past and become the friends we used to be... hopefully.
~Norway"
