A non-existent reunion

                       [Alfred's p.o.v]

   As I was thinking I ran into a woman, knocking her down. I gave out a nervous laugh, scratching the back of my head.I offered her my hand, taking in her appearance. She had long blonde hair, with grey-blue eyes. She had a slight tan, and a look of disbelief on her face. "Sorry ma'am, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," She grabbed my hand as I spoke, accepting my offer to help her back onto her feet. "I didn't mean to knock you over- Excuse me miss, are you okay?"
The woman began to tear up, pulling me into a hug. I froze, not expecting the hug from a stranger.The woman didn't seem to hear me, as she sobbed into my jacket.
"J-Joseph- it's really you! Your father will be overjoyed!". Who's Joseph? And why is she calling me that? She released her grip on me, and took my hand. She began to lead me away from where we collided, only confusing him more. 'Well, this hero's got time to spare, might as well follow her, am I right?'

~~~~~~~~Back to third person~~~~~~~~

   The woman lead the confused blonde away from where they collided, confusing him more. She began to speed up when she saw a park sign, taking a left. They approached a small group, the woman letting go of his hand. She ran into the arms of a man almost twice her height, sobbing into his chest. "Chris, its Joseph! I-Its really Joseph!". He looked at her, then his eyes widened when he looked up to see Alfred.
   The two men beside them looked annoyed at him, but they also had a look of disbelief. One of them decided to speak up to the woman, ignoring the warning look he received from the man beside him. "Mom, that cant be him! Hes been d-". The man beside him but a hand on his mouth, interrupting with his own words. "What he means is that we dont know if that's him, we haven't seen him in years!".
  Alfred fidgeted where he was standing, putting on his heroic smile. He gave coughed into his hand, then scratched the back of his neck. "Look dudes, I hate to ruin the moment and all, but who are you and why was I dragged here?". Alfred froze as all of them turned to look at him,half of them with a cold stare. The woman only began to sob more, and alfred stiffened up, not intending to make her cry.
"I'm sorry dudette- But never fear, the hero is here! There's no need to cry-will icecream help?" Alfred said this with sincerity, sweatdropping when she continued to cry. The woman hugged Alfred again, quieting down. "My poor baby Joseph, it's been so long you cant even remember your own family! My baby! My poor sweet baby boy!" The woman began to cry again, burrowing her face in his chest.
He was even more confused, giving a confused look towards the three men behind her. Alfred decided to do what any good hero would do, and comfort her. He returned the hug this time, rubbing her back. "I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it would be bad if a hero didn't give comfort to this lovely maiden." Alfred somehow got her to calm down, and the woman had a small  smile on her face. She began to speak, wiping her eyes. She announced that she and her husband would go get their car, then they left.
Alfred kicked the ground lightly, coughing. He was tempted to run back to the cafe, but then remembered why he left in the first place. He took this time to take a look at the two guys he was left with, then realised that they are probably brothers. They both had dirty blonde hair, and had a similar height to England. One of them had hazel eyes, while the other had blue. They weren't twins, but looked around the same age. Alfred hummed for a second, then made eye contact with the man with longer hair.

"So..Any of you dudes know what's going on?"
