A/N: I hope you enjoy my new Heta story! I will be using human names for reasons to be revealed in later chapters!
Update: I was getting repeated reviews about the lyrics in the chapter (only one of them was phrased kindly) and so I had to remove them due to a copyright rule I accidentally overlooked. The lyrics from the ringtone are from the song "Right Hand Man" from the musical "Something Rotten".
The world meeting was completely and absolutely unordinary. Matthew Williams, the economic and political representative of Canada, sat bored in his seat, doodling on a piece of paper. The phone in his pocket buzzed and he paused, looking up to see that Austria was presenting. Knowing that the musically inclined nation wouldn't notice or care that he's not paying attention. Thanking his invisibility, Matthew pulls out his phone, checking the text message. The contact is labeled "Miss Melting Pot" and Matthew smiles at the text.
"Before Alfie presents, nick his phone, would you? Text me when he goes up and then slide his phone into the middle of the table, make sure the ringer is on. Please and thanks xx"
Matthew smiles at his sister's idea, and mentally resolves to comply. Whatever the cultural representation of America is planning, it's nothing more than a harmless prank. She probably changed Alfred's ring tone to 'Barbie Girl' or the Dora the Explorer theme song or something equally embarrassing again.
After reading over the itinerary for the meeting, Matthew notes that Alfred is after Matthew himself, who is after Francis. Realizing that they have a few people in front of them, Matthew decides to sneak Alfred's phone during Francis's presentation.
"Good luck," Matthew says to Alfred as he passes his brother on his way back to his seat, Alfred's phone in his pocket.
"Thanks," the American smiles as he stands.
"He's going"
Matthew texts Alfred's cultural counterpart. As Alfred draws all attention towards him, Matthew sends the American's phone sliding to the middle of the table. The phone begins to buzz and a ringtone starts to play.

"Oh no," Alfred says as the verses play.
—
"Is there something you want to say, America?" Arthur asks in amusement. If a nation's phone goes off and it's not their boss, the nation has to answer on speakerphone.
—
"Honhonhon, something you should tell us Amérique?" Francis asks in amusement as America grips the podium tight, eyeing the phone warily.

"Okay, I'm getting tired of this," Gilbert complains, getting up and onto the table to reach for the phone. "Kesesese, America! Who's 'Miss America'?" He reads off the contact name with a suggestive smirk.
"Fusososo," Antonio laughs, catching on. "Something you want to tell us?"
"Oh for the the love of Superman, give me the phone!" Alfred decides, consequences be damned.
"If you say so~" Gilbert winks, tossing the phone to his friend, who accepts the call and puts it on speaker.
"You're on speaker, Amie," Alfred warns the caller.
"Good," a female voice answers that makes Matthew groan and put his head in his hands. "But I'm not Amie. She wants you to open up Skype for your presentation, she's made a few changes."
"And if I don't?" Alfred challenges the not-Amie.
"Just remember how much blackmail the three on us have on the three of you~" Juan (Mexico), Alfred, and Matthew all go pale.
"You said Skype, right?" Alfred says, setting the phone down on the podium and going to his computer.
"Yep~! See you in a bit!" The voice says cheerily before ending the call.
"You don't mind, do you Germany?" Alfred asks as he's in the middle of setting up Skype.
"Not at all," Ludwig replies, amused to see how this will play out.
A/N: It's a bit of a short chapter, I'll admit, but I hope it's satisfying enough for now!
