Hetalia and Nyotalia belong to Hidekaz Himaruya, not me.

Françoise grinned as a group of men whistled as she sauntered by. She turned around and sent them a wink, and giggled as they all blushed. It was so cute how easily flustered the English were, especially her petite Rose. Françoise's smile became more lecherous as she approached Rose's small townhouse. Rose had finally agreed to go out to dinner with her, even if it was only because Françoise offered to pay for the awful English cuisine.

"Angleterre! Je suis arrivé!" England! I have arrived! The Frenchwoman frowned when Rose didn't jump out screaming at Françoise to leave. By now she would usually have a slap mark on her cheek and an ear full of English slang. "Angleterre?" Françoise rounded the corner and saw Rose sitting in her office. "There you are!"

"I'm not in the mood, Frog," Rose mumbled from behind a desk piled with paperwork.

"Angleterre," Françoise whined, "you promised you would go out to dinner with me!"

"I changed my mind." Françoise frowned and grabbed Rose's elbow. "W-what do you think you're doing git!"

"Taking you to dinner, of course!"

"But I'm not properly dressed!" Françoise froze and turned around to meet Rose's smirk. "I can't go out looking like this, now can I?" Françoise looked Rose up and down. She was wearing a matching tweed skirt and jacket with a white button-up, but Françoise knew from a lost bet that Rose also wore some very sexy lingerie under those frumpy clothes. She was also wearing her pearls and trademark oxfords and...pigtails. Françoise frowned and advanced towards Rose. Rose gulped and backed-up until her back hit the desk. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Angleterre, why do you wear your hair in pigtails?"

Rose blushed and said, "why do you ask that?"

Oh, the telltale blush... "Well, you're a grown woman who dresses like a librarian and wears pigtails. What's that all about?" Rose grabbed and tugged on her pigtails, as if to unconsciously hide them. Her eyes went wide and she mumbled something into her shoulder. "What did you say?" Rose sighed as she started to play with her split ends. Françoise slapped her hand and said, "don't do that! And answer my question!"

"I said...I tried to braid my hair and it wouldn't work."

Françoise raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow and said, "you tried to braid your hair?"

"Yes."

"...why?"

At this point Rose was so red Françoise was surprised she hadn't passed out. "When we were kids you used to braid my hair, and I...I...kindofmissit."

Françoise chuckled and said, "Rose, would you like me to braid your hair?"

Rose's eyes widened before she looked back down and said, "o-okay."

Françoise led Rose to the bedroom and sat her on the bed. She took Rose's hair out of the pigtails and shook it a little before running her fingers through the blonde locks. "Your hair's getting long again, Rose." Françoise brushed Rose's hair until it shined and separated it into three segments. As she braided the hair she hummed an old French tune and smiled when Rose began to hum at the chorus. "I thought you didn't listen to French music, cher." Rose blushed and abruptly stopped. Françoise took some pins out of her pocket and proceeded to pin the braid into a bun.

Françoise leaned forward and kissed Rose on the cheek before whispering, "there you go. You look so beautiful and sophisticated."

"R-really?"

"Yes, such an improvement!"

Rose huffed and said, "so what, I was ugly before?"

"Not ugly, just a little homely..." Rose screeched and threw the closest thing, which happened to be the hair brush, at Françoise.

"Get out and don't come back, you twat! And you can forget about dinner!"

I never understood the pigtails, so this is my explanation for them.

Nyotalia England: Rose Kirkland (Himaruya suggested Rosa as a name for Fem!England, but I prefer Rose)

Nyotalia France: Françoise Bonnefoy
