A/N: Hello everyone, and welcome to Surviving Hetalia II! Good news, more characters shall be introduced, some more conflict, and some more lime…hopefully a lemon later in the story~! Anyways, you know the drill, enjoy.

Instead of going to the cafeteria to sit with The Axis like usual, Kimi was dragged away by Hungary into the clubroom to meet their new recruits. Two new girls were present once they entered, along with Poland who, to Kimi's surprise, was instead wearing the female uniform and not the male one. One of the new girls sported long dirty blonde hair that was long in front and put into a neat loose braid in back, light blue eyes, reading glasses, and a red bow on the right side of her head. The other was wearing the same uniform as Taiwan, instantly identifying herself as an Asian country; sported fine long-ish black hair that was brought back into a ponytail, and brown eyes.

"Kimi, I'd like you to meet France's little sister, Monaco and Taiwan's sister, Vietnam." Hungary said while gesturing to each of the girls.

"Nice to meet you." Kimi greeted warmly. "And welcome to the club."

"Bonjour, et merci." Monaco returned politely, "I hear this club helps keeps the hooligans of the academy in line, oui?"

"You heard right, no assaults, sexual or not, will be tolerated by us. Nor will it go unnoticed, or unpunished." Kimi responded.

"Splendid, what is the first order of business?" Monaco asked.

"Even though there hasn't been any word going around of anything suspicious, that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep on our toes. For the time being, we take precaution and prepare ourselves for future conflicts. As new recruits, it is required that you and Vietnam have at least one thing you can use as a weapon to defend yourselves."

"I have my bamboo paddle." Vietnam said, presenting it once she retrieved it from her bag.

"Very good," Kimi praised with a grin, "What about you, Monaco?"

"I'm afraid not, miss." She replied in a somber tone.

"I only have one canister of pepper stray left, but since I'm already armed, you can have it." Kimi suggested.

"Oh no, I couldn't…"

"I insist, besides, I don't think I have to worry about being attacked too much with being Germany's girlfriend and all." Kimi smiled, handing Monaco the metal canister.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive, I've got my nails, kicks, punches and my crowbar. I'll be fine." Kimi reassured.

"Speaking of Germany," Poland interjected, "You two by any chance weren't doing anything naughty during the party last weekend, were you~?"

"Not really, we're kind in an awkward state right now." She replied in a nervous tone.

"What is the matter? Is there something wrong?" Liechtenstein wondered concernedly.

"Define, wrong…I'm not really sure what to say, there's only one way to say it, and that's the really blunt way." She said with a light shudder. "Can you all keep a secret?"

"Of course we can, we won't tell anyone." Hungary assured, Kimi looked around to see the girls (including Poland) staring at her with empathy and complete sincerity in their eyes.

"Alright…" Kimi began with a long sigh, before explaining her and Germany's predicament.

"OMG, NO WAY!" Poland squealed with a flustered face, the other girls except Belarus reacting the same way.

"Yeah, I can't believe it either." Kimi groaned as she pressed the palms of her hands to her forehead. "It's even gotten to the point where we can't even make out anymore because the dream keeps coming back to us, and makes everything weird!"

"And you said Germany had the dream, too?" Hungary questioned.

"Yeah, ironic isn't it?" She huffed.

"At least you're both on the same side, where as things would be even weirder if only one of you had the dream." Liechtenstein said.

"Good point." Kimi responded, "But neither of us have been able to find a solution around this problem."

"Maybe you two are just experiencing sexual tension." Vietnam proclaimed, "From what I've heard from Japan, you and Germany have been together for quite some time now, and you haven't even let him reach farther than second base."

"That could be true, it seems possible enough." Kimi responded with intrigue, "I guess I should've figured that out since last night at the party was the first time Germany purposed the make out session, normally I have to start it in order for him to tag along."

"I see~" Poland grinned methodically, "Then, like, one of you has to make the first move!"

"Really? You mean…one of us purposing that we want to have sex?" Kimi asked.

"Totally! You two should plan a special day for it, too~!" He beamed enthusiastically.

"Maybe…I dunno, but it wouldn't hurt to at least talk to him about it. We won't resolve the problem if we just leave it hanging." She shrugged. "Thanks guys." Kimi finally grinned.

"Of course, we're willing to help." Hungary smiled warmly. "By the way, did you ever get back at that stupid American?"

"You bet I did, I got him when I invited him over for one of my 'horror-night binges,' it was hilarious!" Kimi laughed victoriously.

"Really? What did you do?" Vietnam asked in amusement.

"We watched The Ring, The Grudge, SAW VII, House Of 1000 Corpses, Paranormal Activity, Quarantine, Apollo 18, and the Jeepers Creepers trilogy. Then I had him play Amnesia: The Dark Decent, Left 4 Dead, one of the Silent Hill games I rented along with Dead Space 2." Kimi listed.

"Nice, and how did he react?" Vietnam snickered.

"By the time he left my place, he was almost pale as tofu!" She laughed.

"Damn Kimi, you got him good!" Poland said in awe.

"Dang right!" She rooted, earning a thumbs up from Belarus and Vietnam.

After a good laugh and meeting, Kimi soon left the clubroom to meet up with The Axis. Thankfully, she managed to catch up with them just as they exited the building, and began strolling along with them back to her apartment. Though it was a quiet trip, Kimi still grinned the slightly nervous looking glances Germany sent her. Just when they reached the apartment complex and began saying their goodbyes, all of them got quite a surprise when they heard two sets of running footsteps coming their way.

"MASTER! I HAVE FINALLY FOUND YOU!" A girl's voice cried out excitedly.

Recognizing the voice, Kimi turned around to brace the impact of the individual's hug. The girl was rather short, and had dirty blonde, short choppy hair that stuck up like cat ears on the sides, awake and ecstatic teal eyes with thin-rimmed glasses, wearing a pair of headphones over her neck, an identical black cat sweatshirt that Kimi owned as well, blue skinny jeans, with a pair of purple converse.

"Hey, Cookie! There you are!" Kimi greeted happily, earning confused looks from Germany, Italy, and Japan.

"Katarina and I have been wondering where you've been!" Cookie mewed.

"We certainly have," Katarina agreed as she approached, "Where have you been?" She asked.

"I transferred to a different college not too far from here, I still live in the same apartment you know." Kimi answered.

"Oh, dur, right I knew that!" Katarina laughed, mentally slapping herself for nearly forgetting.

"Germany, Italy, Japan; I'd like you to meet my friends, Cookie and Katarina!" Kimi presented them, Cookie sheepishly hiding behind Kimi out of intimidation when she saw Germany. "Katarina, Cookie, this is my boyfriend Germany, and his friends, Italy and Japan."

"Nice to meet you." Katarina greeted, shaking Germany and Japan's hands, flexibly returning the hug Italy gave her.

"Ve~! Ciao, pretty ladies~!" Italy greeted back with his usual charm.

"I am very pleased to meet you." Japan returned.

"A pleasure." Germany replied to Katarina and Cookie.

"Oh my gosh, Italy is so cute~!" Cookie squeaked, bringing Italy into a tight hug.

"I should tell you a bit about these two," Kimi started, "Cookie and Katarina, are like the angel and the devil on my shoulders."

"I'm the angel." Katarina grinned.

"And I'm the devil!" Cookie cheered. "I am also, her bitch~"

Germany, Japan, and Italy looked at her with slightly disturbed expressions, a moment of silence floating in the air until the girls broke out in hysterical laughter.

"It's an inside joke between Cookie and I," Kimi explained, "If you're friends with a girl, she's either your bitch or her master, if you're friends with a guy, he's your bondage slave." The last part nearly gave Japan a nosebleed, while Germany slightly shivered at a 'thought.' "Yeah, these two are also what I'd like to call, my sisters from other misters." Kimi added proudly, Katarina and Cookie assuming positions by her side. "Sometimes we're calm, and sometimes…we're just flat-out corrupt, or crazy."

"Most of the time we're pretty calm and collected." Katarina said, earning a sigh of relief from Germany and Japan.

"But when we have fun and really get to know you, we can get pretty crazy at times." Cookie added.

"Sometimes to an almost delirious point, but it's all out of good fun." Kimi chuckled. "Ah! Before I forget…Germany, I need to speak with you privately for a moment. Is that okay with you?"

"Uh-sure." He answered with a quick nod, before following Kimi as they moved farther away from the others. "What did you need me for?" Germany asked once he noticed the insecure look on her face.

"You know how we decided to try and find a solution to our little dilemma?" Kimi started uneasily.

"Ja?" He nodded slowly.

"Well, a friend told me what we might be experiencing…"

"What did they say?"

"They said that we're possibly dealing with sexual tension, which I think might be true, depending on how you feel about our temporary predicament."

There was a momentary pause in Germany's response; Kimi's intuition was even able to sense the tension within him as he hesitated whether or not to say how he felt.

"Would it help if I stated my thoughts first?" She suggested courteously, tilting her head up to look him in the eyes.

Germany simply nodded, too choked up to say a word.

"Okay, what I think is…hmmm…truthfully, I'm just curious. Since a couple of my friends in the past have actually lost their virginity when they were sophomores, and none of them really told me what it was like during the 'process'." Kimi explained, trying to restrain the burning on her earlobes.

Now feeling a bit less tense, Germany drew in a small deep breath before resting his hands on her shoulders.

"I really do love you, everything about you…" He started in a shaky voice, "It's just that…I'm worried that you aren't ready, morally, I mean."

"Yeah, but that moral is something that can be broken if I want to break it." Kimi responded.

"Are you sure? You won't have any regrets?" He asked.

"No regrets, I think it might bring us closer. The fact that we haven't been able to spend quality time together makes me feel like you're avoiding me. Like it was something I did wrong…" Kimi answered, keeping a straight face as a couple giant tears formed in her eyes,

Germany hated himself for making her feel so guilty, seeing her tears truly got to him though to see how sad she was. Touched by her compassionate concern, he lightly kissed the tears away from her eyes before grinning at her.

"If that's how you feel, than I feel the same way." He stated in a smooth tone while stroking her cheek.

"Sounds to me like we've found our solution then," Kimi proclaimed; "Now all we have to do is plan out the next step." She said, "Any suggestions?"

"Um…how about we plan a special day? A second date, I guess…?" He purposed.

"That sounds wonderful." She grinned.

While Cookie and Katarina were still preoccupied in getting to know Japan and Italy, Germany and Kimi discussed plans for their next date. After choosing to have their second date on the upcoming weekend, they decided on having a home dinner and a movie to set the mood on that special night, agreeing to have it take place at Germany's house for better privacy and intimacy. Then there was the dispute on who would make dinner and who would make dessert, eventually deciding that Kimi would make dessert while Germany handled dinner. Of course, then there was telling Japan, Italy and Prussia that they needed the house to themselves. Kimi also brought up suggestions on what movies to watch and how they should spend their time together when they aren't eating or one of them is busy cooking.

Break.

"Bye guys, see you tomorrow!" Kimi waved in farewell as The Axis left the apartment.

"Ciao~!" Italy waved back.

"Lebewohl." Germany replied.

"Sayonara." Japan said.

Once they had disappeared under the horizon, Kimi, Katarina and Cookie stood casually in place until they were certain that they were gone.

"The sun's going down, I say we head inside." Kimi stated, gesturing towards her apartment.

"Sure, why not." Katarina shrugged, Cookie simply mewing and clapping.

Inside, Kimi's friends made themselves at home, Cookie flopping right on the couch while Kimi and Katarina set up the Xbox for a game of Left 4 Dead 2.

"So, I see you've worked things out with Germany?" Katarina asked to start up a conversation.

"Mhm, I'm still grateful for talking with you about it!" Kimi grinned.

"That's good, I'm glad things are working out between you two."

"He'd better treat you right." Cookie implied, comically imitating the over-protective father role.

"Of course he does, Germany's a great guy." Kimi reassured.

"He must be if he was able to change your perspective on serious relationships." Katarina commented.

"Yeah, but that's because he proved himself…frankly, it takes quite a bit to change my opinion on something." She replied reminiscently.

"Guess he must be a true good guy, then." Cookie noted.

"Certainly, especially with all of his patience." Kimi nodded with her eyes still focused on the TV screen. "You can choose which campaign we play." She said to Katarina.

"Okay, thank you." Katarina replied, tentatively scrolling through the options.
