"Hey (Name)?" A quiet voice called (Name)'s name.
(Name) turned around to see her best friend, Canada, standing behind her.
"Yeah Mattie?" _ asked.
"How are you drinking that?" He asked.
(Name) glanced at the tea in her hand, then back at Canada. "Like this!" She said, then took a sip of the tea.
Canada looked puzzled, "But didn't England make that?"
(Name) gave a laugh, "Why yes he did!" She said, but then lowered her voice. "But, I'll let you in on a secret, I have a friend who gave me an idea for a secret ingredient, and that ingredient makes it sweeter than it probably should be."
"Really?" Canada asked.
"Yeah!" (Name) said, her voice returning to normal.
"What ingredient?" Canada asked.
(Name) gasped, "Mattie! You really expected me to just tell you!"
Canada suddenly decided that his shoelaces were the most interesting thing on earth.
"I have an idea! Lets play a game!" (Name) exclaimed.
Canada looked up at his excited friend, "What kind of game?"
"A guessing game!" (Name) told him.
Canada nodded, "How do you play?"
"Okay, (Friend's Name) taught me this game, so I'm not exactly sure if this is right, but you'll get it as we go along!" (Name) said. "Okay, so, I'll give you ten hints, and you have to guess who I'm talking about."
Canada nodded.
"The person I'm talking about uses the ingredient all the time, and if you guess who the
person is, I'll tell you the ingredient, if you don't, we'll figure that out then," (Name) told him.
Canada nodded.
"Come on!" (Name) whined, "Let's hear some enthusiasm!"
"Okay," Canada said, trying to think of something enthusiastic to say.
(Name) giggled, "Nevermind, lets just play!"
Canada stood next to (Name), wondering where to sit down.
(Name) scooted over on the sofa, "Well? Come on! There's enough room for both of us."
"Thank you," Canada told her, and sat down.
"Okay, hint one, this person is male," (Name) told him.
Canada nodded.
"Are you writing this down?"
"Uhh, no?"
(Name) smirked and gave Canada a notepad she was writing in and a pen, "You're not going to remember all of this, write it down!"
Canada nodded and wrote down, 'Male'.
(Name) nodded, seeing that Canada wrote it down and continued, "He is a country."
Canada wrote down 'Country'.
"He does have a pet slash friend type thing," (Name) told him.
Canada wrote down 'Pet/Friend'.
"He's in the Allied Forces and he's blond."
'Allied Forces' went onto the list, and so did 'Blond'.
This went on until there were nine things on the list, 'Male', 'Country', 'Pet/Friend', 'Allied Forces', 'Blond', 'Glasses', 'Nice', '1 or More Brothers', and 'Ingredient With Everything'.
Canada looked up expectantly at (Name), waiting for the last hint.
(Name) hesitated before saying the last hint, "And I like him."
Canada paused, just about everything on the list pointed to...
America.
'(Name) likes America?! But, why? How? What?!'
(Name) waved a hand in front of the Canadian's face, "Hey? Are you broken? Hello~?"
Canada snapped back to reality, "I uhh... Have to go do something... Yeah..."
(Name) watched her friend as he stumbled out of her apartment, and quietly said, "Mattie...?"
Canada quickly walked back to his house. '(Name) likes America?' He thought, 'How did I
miss this? I mean, there must have been some kind of hint, right?' That thought brought him back to the game, 'Cheeseburgers go well with tea? But, I didn't see any cheeseburgers on (Name)'s table.'
When the Canadian finally found himself at his house, he went in, and head for the stairs.
"Who are you?" Kumajiro asked as Canada passed.
"I'm your owner, Canada," He told the bear, as he head for his room, 'I'm going to need to sleep on this...'
