Chapter 1

"England?"

"Yes, London?"

"Where are we going today?"

"..." *shakes in anger*

"What did you say? Huh?"

"I SAID 5 MINUTES AGO THAT WE'RE GOING TO A MEETING!"

"Oh," I said, disregarding his anger. "Don't be so angry, England. It's bad for your health." He just sighed and continued walking. Soon we were at the United Nations meeting and we began to talk about the world's affairs. "Liechtenstein and I are doing just fine," Switzerland said with a nod. Liechtenstein looked up at him and they both blushed. "Ah, ze lovebirds," commented France, who was beginning to get on my nerves. I looked down the row of countries, and noticed one in particular. Germany was looking in my direction. I smiled at him, and he smiled back. He rolled his eyes and pointed in the direction of France, and I laughed. The others looked at me, and I covered my mouth with my hands. I wasn't a country, so I didn't have a reason to be there. "She's here as my little sister to learn about how the government works," clarified England. "This is London, my capital; she thought she could learn more political strategies." I nodded mechanically, and Germany laughed. Could he tell I'd rather be somewhere else? Could he see through England's complete lie? I thought it was believable."However," interrupted Taiwan, "Austria's been bugging me for resources lately." Austria was indignant. "I have not!" he cried. Germany sighed, and said mainly to me, "He's been like this since we were kids." I smiled and laughed as Austria glared at him from across the table."I hereby order you to stop!" shouted America. England pushed him over and nodded. "If you don't stop I will be forced to call Russia on you," he said gravely. Everyone turned white and looked in Russia's direction. He was smiling, as usual. "Russia's pretty creepy," I thought to myself. Italy started to freak out and said, "Please England, don't! W-we'll be good!" He started to drench everybody near him in tears, Germany was soaking wet and staring at Italy like he was going to kill him. I smiled and held back the urge to laugh.

So her name was...London? She was merely a city, but very charming. Ah- what was I thinking? After we finished staring at Russia's creepy smile, Italy went on about Russia and about how we didn't have enough water for pasta, and Austria kept staring at me. Creep. I mouthed my own commentary to London, who laughed, even though her brother, England, kept glaring at her when she did. I liked this girl.

"So, what did you think?" England asked me as we cleared the room.

"I think you guys argue WAY too much," I said, giggling. He nodded in agreement. "And I think Russia's a creepy stalker." He laughed and said, "Not a stalker, but creepy, yes." "England!" Called America. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" "Yes." England glanced at me. "Wait here." "Ok." I leaned against the wall and sighed. I watched America and England argue about something. "What are they talking about?" I wondered. I leaned in closer towards them to hear what they were saying. "Do you need a ride?" I jumped and turned to see who it was. "Oh, Germany it's you." I sighed. "I thought you were France." "Don't compare me to that pervert please." I smiled, a little embarrassed. "No, I don't need a ride, England is just talking with America right now, they'll be over soon I hope." Germany laughed. "Just making sure you weren't abandoned here." I blushed. "Um…." "Germany-san." Japan was standing near a taxi, with Italy already inside. Germany walked over quickly and got inside. As I watched the taxi drive away, England came over and tapped my shoulder. "London? It's time to go." "Huh? Oh yeah." We walked together to the street and England called for a taxi. "What were you guys talking about?' I asked as we got in. "The next meeting. America going to try something, but I don't think it will work." He sighed. "I'm not looking forward to it." "Oh. Is it really that bad?" "Yes. It's going to be complete pandemonium when everyone finds out."

I hurried into the taxi und got in with Italy and Japan. "Gott sei dank (1) I got away when I did." I thought to myself. "Otherwise I vould've had to face England's wrath." "Ve~!" Sighed Italy. "That was a short meeting. I'm glad England didn't set Russia on us." "Yes, but try not to cry so much next time okay?" "I can't help it! Russia's so scary!" Italy shuddered. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Hey, why so quiet Japan?" Asked Italy. "Are you depressed?" "No, just thoughtful." Japan responded as he looked out the window. Then he turned. "Germany-san why were you talking to London-san?" "Huh?" "She's just a city after all. Why did you talk to her?" "I-…I was concerned for her well being. I didn't see England anyvhere so I just asked if she was okay. That's all." Japan eyed me carefully. "Ok." I leaned back in my chair and waited for the taxi to take us to the hotel. "This will be a long day." I thought to myself.
