Hello guys. This is my first fan-fiction story pretty much ever and I would really appreciate it if you would rate and review it. Any comments would be helpful! Thanks in advance! :D Anyway, for a bit of background on the story... I was reading another fanfiction, whose name slips my mind at the moment, that a really sweet CanXLiech moment in the middle. It was so sweet my heart melted in a little gooey puddle. 3 On a side note, this pairing is not approved by my good friend Amanda, because she says Canada is too girly to be paired with an actual girl. Hopefully, I can prove her wrong with this. XD Thanks! (I do not own Hetalia or any of the characters.)

The Maple Leaf Crown

Switzerland slammed down the land-line with a strangled yell. Why did Austria of all people have to call him to remind him of today's meeting? Especially since he didn't want to go. An annoying meeting that probably wouldn't go well anyway. Switzerland sighed, the meeting was about him after all. He had shot one too many countries/people ti be considered "true neutral" anymore.

"Are you alright big bruder?" Liechtenstein's sweet voice came from right behind him. Startled, he jerked and walked outside of the house as fast as he could. Crap, crap, crap! He had forgotten to find someone to watch over Liechtenstein! He had to find someone and fast, preferably a person who wouldn't tell her why a meeting got called on such short notice. Switzerland grimaced as a conversation in French started outside the grocery store doors. France was NOT going to watch her even if he payed him money. Switzerland took a deep breath and went inside the store to buy food for lunch.

A few minutes later as he was leaving the store, he saw a streak of red flash next to him. The flash tripped, groaned, and landed directly at his feet-causing the Switzerland nation to fall next to him. Once Switzerland noticed who it was, he pulled his ever-present rifle from his hat and turned it at the "hero" lying next to him. The country squeaked and started speaking in a really soft voice. "I am not America! I'm his brother, Canada! Really! Look, maple leaf flag!" Canada pulled aside his red jacket to reveal a Canadian flag. Switzerland unclenched his fingers from the trigger and stared at the man dusting himself off.

"Canada, I thought you were America." Canada shook his head sadly but smiled at him anyway. He stepped forward and held out his hand. After a moment, Switzerland let Canada help him off the ground. Dusting himself off, Switzerland glanced at the silent country.

"Got something to ask?" The Canadian nation nodded and moved closer so his voice would carry over the strong wind. "How do you feel about today's meeting? It is about you, so..." If glare's could kill, there would be one less nation on the North American continent. Switzerland dared him to

continue speaking with a small twitch of his gun. Canada glanced at the gun nervously before continuing anyway.

"Do you need any help? I'd be happy to do anything you want." Switzerland's glare softened to rock-hard instead of diamond-hard as a light bulb appeared above his head. This would be accepting charity but under the circumstances, he contemplated his options.

Liechtenstein would be safe with him, if only for the reason that no one could see him-let along actually attack him. He was too timid to do anything to her personally. Canada had also offered to work for free, in a roundabout way. Now, there was only the one issue of America and Russia who lived right next to him. No wait, they would be at the meeting...why wasn't Canada at the meeting?

"Canada, why aren't you going to the meeting?" "They...um...forgot to invite me. When I called, England told me I was America and that I should stop prank calling him. Even papa hung up after only hearing my voice..." Canada sighed deeply before looking at Switzerland, "is there a reason you asked that?" The Swiss nation realized that America and Russia would be at the meeting instead of their homes and he didn't exactly have a fear of Latvia, who would be house-sitting for Russia. Canada would do then.

"You will be watching Liechtenstein then. I don't want to leave her by herself with Prussia out on the loose. If the meeting takes...longer...than I tell her, than she will come to check on me. There, countries with a death wish will tell her why I'm in trouble. Watch her." Canada smiled gently, accepting his duty. He followed Switzerland to his home in the alps and watched as the normally serious man squeeze his sister back as she gave him a hug.

"You were gone for an hour, big bruder. Did something happen, because you know you can tell me if something is wrong." Switzerland gently detached Liechtenstein and grabbed her hand. He motioned for Canada to wait and went inside with his sister. Canada could hear Liechtenstein grabbing her things as Switzerland locked all the doors and windows. A shrill whistle called her downstairs where he was impatiently waiting for her. She lugged a heavy suitcase down the stairs and gasped as someone lifted up her bag.

Canada smiled into Liechtenstein's eyes as she actually noticed him standing there. She seemed to ask the question 'who are you?'. He turned over his jacket flap for the second time this morning and showed her his countries flag. Her eyes lit up as she recognized him at last.

"Oh, you're Canada aren't you? Sorry, I didn't even notice you there. Thank you for carrying my suitcase. Also, big bruder tells me that you will be watching over me for the next 3 days. Please take care of me!" Switzerland's gaze landed on the ringing phone screen that showed up as Germany. He sighed before grabbing Liechtenstein's hand and left Canada to follow them, to the North American continent.

The End of Chapter One!

Sorry that this was so long. I promise that the next chapter will be a lot smaller. ;) Thanks for reading this far! :D
