"Gott, I'm tired…" Gilbert yawned as he reached over Francis for some caramel corn.

"Why so tired mon ami? Up late with Elizaveta again?" Francis said with a suggestive eye wiggle as Gilbert stuffed his face.

"Pffft. I wish, actually Ludwig and Feliciano were having fun in their bedroom, and it was LOUD." He groaned and shifted to be more comfortable as Antonio came in with fresh wine and beer.

"Oh really now? Who do you think bottoms?" Francis asked, genuinely curious.

Gilbert cracked up laughing before taking a sip of his beer and coughing.

"Ludwig, duh. He screams way too much for a topper." They all burst out laughing as Gilbert smacked his knee a couple of times.

"GOD DAMMIT YOU STUPID BASTARDOS, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP, CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TURN THAT TV DOWN?!" A very angry Italian said as he came out in his boxers; face and hair showing signs of a nap.

"Of course Lovi, now go back to sleep. You're grumpy when you're tired." Antonio said as he sat down next to the Frenchman. The Italian grumbled before walking back to his room and slamming the door shut.

"Sorry about that, he's been really pissy ever since Bella and I got together…" Antonio said as he munched on a tomato.

"Ya know, Maddie's been the same way since Gil and I stopped hanging out with her as much for Elizaveta and Michelle." Francis said as he poured himself a cool glass of wine. Gilbert seemed to think for a second before jumping off the couch and cheering.

"THE AWESOME ME HAS A PLAN! WE SHALL GET BIRDIE AND PISSY-MANO TOGETHER TO SOLVE THEIR LONELINESS!"

"MON AMI YOU ARE A GENIUS!"

"MUY INTELLIENTE!"

-LE SKIP OF TIME.-

-Pissy-Mano's P.O.V.-

'Ugh, I hate that tomato bastardo…' I thought to myself as I watched him and Bella enjoy their dinner date with laughs and smiles. I sighed and slinked off to my room before collapsing on the bed with a loud long sigh. I stared at my ceiling and thought of what I had lost in Bella. She was the only woman I had ever loved. I was sure she was going to be mine, when she instead chose that tomato loving, shit eating bastard. I sighed and shook my head lightly. 'Why can't I have someone? Why am I always the damn third wheel?!' As I was deep in thought, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw a text from Francis. 'Why do I have this bastards number anyways?' I thought as I read the message from him; "Lovino, meet me and Gil at the local mall with Toni, and please dress nice, there's someone we want you to meet. Toodles, Francis." I rolled my eyes and cracked my neck before rolling over away from my phone. Another message came in and I groaned loudly before rolling back over to read it. "By the way if you refuse, we'll come get you in ten minutes and bring you to the mall in your underwear. Toodles again~ Francis~" I groaned audibly and replied before getting up to find something to wear. I found a pair of black slacks and a deep forest green shirt. I threw them on and pulled on a pair of shiny black shoes. I carefully brushed my knotted hair before walking out to where the tomato bastard was waiting for me.

"Ready to go Lovi?" he asked as I looked at him in surprise.

"What? Bella left a few minutes ago, and I decided to clean myself up when Francis called me. Now come on, let's go~" I rolled my eyes and turned to follow him as he exited the house and walked towards the car. I sighed again. 'What have I gotten myself into...'

-Fem!Canada's P.O.V.-

"Oh Francis~ You're such a romantic~." I heard Michelle giggle from behind me as I flipped the pancakes I was making. I sighed and nearly facepalmed from how mushy it was.

"Mon amour, you're so beautiful~." I flipped the pancakes onto a plate in time to turn and see the two lovebirds making out rigorously at the table. I rolled my eyes and shoved a large plate full of pancakes in front of them before stomping off to my room. 'Stupid big brother and his stupid girlfriend...' I thought to myself as I picked up Kimajira and snuggled her lightly with a sigh.

"Why can't I find something like that? All I ever get is the short end of the stick, and my brother gets any girl he wants..." I trailed off as I fell back onto my bed and cuddled with Kima; absentmindedly messing with her pretty blue bow. I sighed again and nearly cried as I thought of the past few months. I shook the thoughts out of my head and went to look at myself in the mirror.

"The bruises are almost gone...and I'm more healthy looking.." I muttered as I examined the small yellowing bruises still on my face, and my plumper, more well fed body. I picked up my brush and started running it through my tangled blonde hair; all the while staring at my slightly glazed over lavender eyes. My phone buzzed from my nightstand as I worked on an especially difficult knot, and I raised an eyebrow in confusion. I walked over and flipped it open to see a new message from Gilbert; "Hey Maddie! Can you do me a favor and come down to the mall with your brother and his girlfriend in tow? I kinda wanna hang out with you guys, and I have someone you should meet! Oh, and dress nice, okay?! The awesome me can't wait to see you guys~ Gilbert." I bit my lip slightly in thought as I stared at the electronic screen in my hand. 'Should I really go?' I thought to myself ask I mulled over each option. Finally, I shrugged and went to my closet to see if I had anything to wear. I found a beautiful lavender knee dress, and covered it up with a light gray cardigan. I topped off the look with a pair of flats before going over to the vanity to put on my make-up.

"I don't see why I have to wear this pointless stuff..." I muttered as I removed my glasses and picked up the powder and brush. I watched in the mirror as my old bruise covered skin turned a normal paleish white. I sighed and sat back before slightly admiring, mostly despising, my handy work. I slipped my thin silver framed glasses before running the brush through my unruly curls before walking out to find my brother.

"Big brother? Gilbert wants us to meet him at the mall!" I shouted as I hurriedly came downstairs.

"Ah mon ami wants to see us? Well Michelle, what do you say to that?" He asked the girl on his lap as he kissed her neck.

"That sounds like a great idea! Let's go!" The smallish girl stated as she took one last bite of the fish on her plate. How she could eat that stuff constantly, I'll never know.

"Gil says he's got someone special for me to meet.." I said quietly as the girl took her plat to the kitchen to be washed.

"Really now? He might be wanting to help you find someone new."

"That is true...I never thought of it that way...oh, now I'm nervous...can I stay home?" My brother stood up with a smile and chuckle before pulling me into a tight hug.

"No cherie, you look fantastic. I'm sure whoever the guy is will absolutely ADORE you!" I giggled as his words sunk into me and filled me with new confidence. We both smiled at each other as Michelle reentered the room.

"Ready to go?" She asked cheerily as she gripped Francis' hand. We both nodded and I turned to follow them out to the car. My smile slightly dissipated and my confidence dropped a bit. 'What have I gotten myself into?...'
