Chapter 2
It had been about a month after the world meeting
Trinidad smiled as she walked into her garden. It was filled with tropical plants, such as banana trees, coconut trees, bhagi plants, banga trees, wild poinsettia, bougainvillea, buttercups, Ixoras, and other flowers. There was a hammock tied between two coconut trees and she laid down in it. She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her. In the distance she heard kids playing and birds singing in the trees. She then heard the all too fimilar sound of soca music playing.
"And ah feel likeI just win a million dollars Everybody watching meh,wearing a million colours You wanna talk.Talk bout this When ah wine,you go talk bout dat When ah getting on you go,talk bout dis Call yuh friends and den,Talk bout dat Down south dey go,Talk bout dis Up town dey done,Talk bout dat…."
Trinidad sang along.
Suddenly her phone rang interrupting her joyful moment. Grumbling she answered her phone.
"Hello?"
"Trinidad?"
"Who dis? Callin' me in da middle of me music? Me soca?"
"It's me, Germany."
Trinidad straighten up.
"Oh sorry about that Germany. What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if Italy, Japan and I could stay at your place?"
"No Problem. Just come over."
"Thank you. See you soon."
"Bye."
Trinidad sighed as she went inside to make sure her guest rooms were clean and had sufficient supplies in them.
~1 hour later~
Trinidad had just finished checking the rooms when she heard her Plum-Plum meow. She walked down the hall and saw Plum-Plum at the door.
"I got it girl."
Plum-Plum climbed up on the couch in the living room, watching as her mistress opened the door and greeted some strangers. Plum-Plum immediately jumped down and went over to them.
"Hello Germany, Japan and Italy!"
"Hello Trinidad! (-san, ve~)" the three countries said.
"Come in. You can leave your bags here for now."
Germany noticed Trinidad wasn't wearing her military uniform.
"I hope you guys packed summer clothes or else we will have to go shopping," Trinidad said.
Germany blushed. He only had winter clothes since Germany didn't really get that warm…
Trinidad laughed. "Don't worry Germany we'll find you some clothes."
Trinidad wore white shorts and a tank top that said: "Keep calm and – WHERE IS THE RUM!?"
Italy smiled and saw Plum-Plum.
"You have a cat!" He picked up Plum-Plum.
Plum-Plum smelled him and licked his cheek. Italy laughed as he sat on the couch and pet Plum-Plum. Japan and Germany joined him on the white couch.
Trinidad returned with glasses filled with a bubbly brown liquid.
"What is this?" Japan asked.
"Sorrel. It's very popular of course I wouldn't serve alcohol this early. Besides, I am throwing a dinner party tonight so I always save the best for last."
Italy had already finished his glass.
"Wow! This is good! Ve~"
"Thank you Italy."
Plum-Plum was now sniffing Germany.
"Is this an Ocelot?" He asked in amazement.
"Yes she is."
Trinidad phone went off again. She sent a quick prayer up to God that she would be able to hold her tongue and not yell at whoever is calling her now.
"Hello?"
"Trinidad? It's me France! England, America, Canada and I are coming over! I hope you have space for us to sleep! Honhonhon!"
Trinidad looked up at the ceiling.
What did I do wrong God? Is it because I went to the world meeting instead of church that day God? I am sorry!
"Okay come on over."
"Good-Bye."
Trinidad hung up her phone and went to go make sure her guest room were already for this wave of people that were coming.
~3 hours later~
When France arrived he had brought everyone with him. Literally.
Trinidad growled and grabbed France by the collar.
"You said England, Canada, America and yourself! Not the Nordics, Baltics, Asians, and Central Europe!"
France chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Well you see Mon Cherie-."
Trinidad decided to back hand slap France at that moment. Plum-Plum jumped onto a nearby table when France hit the wall. The room went silent as Trinidad was mumbling under her breathe.
"Buh wait nah man! France go nah bring all them countries. Make me vex! Give him 10 good licks!"
She walked away still grumbling under her breathe.
Plum-plum being a smart little Ocelot decided to turn on her mistress' radio. The sound of Soca filled the air and Trinidad stopped grumbling under her breathe. She sang along to "Born Wit it."
"We were born with Caribbean girls were born wit it! Born to wuk up the big bumper born to make it look simple!"
Trinidad danced into the kitchen, making sure not to hit anything along the way and kept in time to the rhythm of the beat.
"You guys can go and explore town! I'll be making an authentic Trinidadian meal for you! Go have fun!"
The countries nodded and left the house while Trinidad sat out to make them dinner.
