After the small bit of hell Andria went through with Alfred she didn't think anything else bad could happen. But then again, that was always a bad thing to say because something always can go worse than what had already happened.

Flashback

"Come on Andria! Wear this!" grey eyes studied the red dress before they closed in annoyance, "no….never…we're going to Russia Alfred, not a date so therefore no dress. Besides you always wear that damn bomber jacket every time you go to the meetings as you so kindly tell us every time you get back from them.

Alfred pouted, his light tan cheeks took a reddish hue from her statement, obviously not denying it as he never did answer or defend himself on it. Still persistent the dress issue, he pressed it forward again, deciding to go another way to approach it, the little kid's way, "PLEEEAAASSEEEE~~~? I'm begging here Andria." Just for an added measure Alfred put up his best 'heroic' puppy dog eyes. Which just was regular puppy eyes, sadly since Andria has a small soft spot to the American who was her friend, she caved.

Sighing she hung her head in defeat, "alright, alright already, you win Alfred"

"YES! The hero always wins! Hahaha!" with speed, he went over to her new, yes new suitcase because a duffle bag just wouldn't do it, so he bought her a suitcase, he put the dress in immediately and rifled through her clothes before finding another dress along with a pencil skirt and a dress shirt. Alfred grinned cheekily to himself before grabbing them, "hey Andria~~~?"

"….crap….what is it now Alfred…?"

"how about this outfit?"

" GOD DAMMIT ALFRED!"

End Flashback

Andria sighed and shook her head, four hours…four freaking hours of choosing some damn clothes. Why couldn't she take her damn duffle bag was beyond her, all she knew was Alfred was fucking crazy for making her choose dresses especially since they were going to Russia! It was cold for Christ's sake! She groaned and slammed her head against the taxicab's seat as they were driven to the airport. A loud, yet cheerful laugh erupted beside her, causing her to mentally sigh.

"hahaha, don't worry Andria! Once we get onto the jet everything will be a-okay!"

Andria's brow twitched before she slowly looked up at him, something still quite bugging her as the blond American spoke happily, "Alfred…"

As if knowing what she was going to say, or just to keep her quiet for the moment, he held a hand out to her and placed it onto the young woman's shoulder with a boyish smile playing on his lips, "like I said Andria, once we get onto the jet everything will be a-okay, so don't worry yourself and just relax for the time being"

blinking slowly at his statement, Andria slowly nodded, feeling as if she were a child at the moment from what Alfred said. She slowly leaned back into the seat and nodded, "okay Alfred…whatever you say...wake me when we get to the airport then..." deciding to take his advice, she closed her eyes, willing her own body to relax as she soon was lulled to sleep by the motion of the car.

As she slept the American beside her seemed proud for getting her to relax. He felt really good about himself for bringing her, she was a good person and really nice friend, even if she didn't want to be around most people or show it to anyone, she spent her time with him when he came over and despite the hate-love friendship between her and Laurence- which made him curious, maybe Laurence liked her...like that?

Back at the building

Laurence sneezed loudly and shivered from what he was doing. Looking around the male frowned, he sure as hell better not be getting a cold. But for some reason, he felt like the world had just did something wrong. He needed to fix this horrible error. Getting up, Laurence walked casually around the building, passing some mobsters who knew better and steered clear from him.

He saw a good target in front of him and continued his pace, grinning sadistically as his prey before him had no clue of what was going to happen. Though through the last minute his prey turned-

Only to get a face full of painful fist. Falling back he groaned in pain, the dazed mobster swore he saw stars and colorful dots.

Above him was a smirking Laurence. The world was right again~!

Shaking his head Alfred shrugged, who other than that small observation, Andria spent most of her time with them. Alfred grinned a bit to himself, he knew he shouldn't be bringing a human, or actually getting close to one in friendship basis or any other type of relationship status, he felt happy she was his friend. He didn't give a damn on what the others thought! The could kiss his star-spangled banner tattooed ass!

Like his old presidents, they were good friends until the end, they really helped him out when he needed it for the safety and well being of their people. Thinking about it brought a small wistful smile to his face, hell, he missed them, he always loved to listen to them about when they were younger, their ideas, everything.

Oh how he missed the good old days, he wasn't in debt, people were smart still, there wasn't much problems and he still was younger. He chuckled softly and shook his head though. He knew he couldn't rewind the clock, hell, if he could he would've changed most things and the world probably would be a better place, but there is no such thing as world peace and anyways, there's still that stupid butterfly effect theory, squash a butterfly or something and you alter and mess up something of his eyes he laughed softly to himself, oh well, what could he do?

Looking out the window, Alfred absently thought to himself, thinking about what he was going to do since, he was after all, taking a human that wasn't his boss, but then again who the hell asked for their opinions? He grinned and smiled to himself, forget them, he was independent and strong, he could handle it! So what did he care? He wasn't a small colony anymore!

The cab stopped soon along with a short cough to catch someone's attention, causing the American to pause in his inner thoughts and look at the driver, "Oh, we're already here dude?"

the driver gruffly nodded, "yeah the total for the ride is $150 just for waiting and driving here, just get your stuff and friend and pay me when your both done…"

Alfred grinned and nodded swiftly, nudging his female companion awake, "yo Andria, we're here, time to get up~!"

a small tired groan was his answer as well as a small bat to the face, "dun…..wanna…lemmie sleep…." With that said, she curled up a bit. Alfred poked her side causing the woman to squirm, grinning the blond began to poke her sides, causing her to squirm and fidget in her sleep before she finally woke up, "okay, okay, I'm up Alfred!" she huffed and smacked his hands away earning a loud laugh from him.

She got up and looked around, "Why did we stop...? We here already?"

"Yup! We got here fast huh? Go get your stuff while I pay the driver 'kay?" at her nod, Alfred smiled happily and dug for his wallet in his pocket as Andria got out to the trunk, starting to get their bags even though he really just asked her to get hers. "okay driver dude…$150 right?"

"yeah…$150"

"hahaha okay!" grabbing six $50's from his wallet, Alfred gave it to the driver, already leaving the cab, "Keep the change man!" he promptly closed the door and grinned to his 'right hand man' which should be 'right hand woman'. Grinning he slung a shoulder and smiled, "yo, Andria, how do you feel about video games?"

"um…they're good I suppose…I choose to play the shooting ones…."

Alfred grinned widely to her, guiding her-more like dragging her-to the private jet he called for, not wanting to deal with crappy flight issues and such, as they walked up the mini staircase to the jet, he spoke happily, "well I got a cool surprise for ya! You'll love it Andria!"

"DIEEE! DIE YOU STUPID-AAAAGHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOO! AWWW!"

"…..you lose Alfred…my turn…"

"no fair! Give me another chance man! I didn't expect it to happen!"

"Nope, you lost, you know the rules, give it up now Alfred F. Jones…"

Alfred pouted and gave up the controller to his companion, sulking about his loss as she started it back up from his spot in Resident Evil, as she played she hummed softly, her eyes never leaving the screen, "Don't you play this game at home Alfred?"

"W-well, yeah…why?" Alfred looked up briefly to Andria in question, mid-pout as he looked at her. "well…if you have this game at home…and you play it….why did you lose so easily? I mean…you can quickly zoom through this game"

Alfred blushed bright red and pouted more, staring at Andria, "W-well….u-um….i-i don't have time! U-uh yeah that's it! I don't have enough time at all!" Andria giggled a bit, resisting the urge to laugh out loud, causing Alfred to pout more but smile a bit as she giggled. As she giggled, she didn't pay attention to the television screen and lost, getting mauled by a zombie. Alfred laughed and smiled, hopping next to her, hopping a bit in excitement as she gave him back the video game controller with a roll of her eyes and a slight smile, "honestly Alfred, you're so childish sometimes" shaking her head she smiled and ruffled his hair playfully in an affectionate manner, causing him to laugh, "but that's just who you are, just don't change yourself, got it?"

Alfred smiled happily to Andria, feeling happier than ever, "Well duh! I am the hero, and the hero never changes for no one but himself! Hahaha!" Andria couldn't help it and laugh with him, he really was childish at times, but that was him and that was a good thing, he was true to himself. Alfred grinned and started the game, talking to Andria the whole flight to Russia, talking about the simple things in life, politics, games and such. This happened through the whole flight, them talking to each other and switching off from the game each time, just having fun with each other.

After a while, it was near time for the plane to land. Andria and Alfred buckled off after they turned off the game system and television and spoke to each other. Most were just questions from Andria as she questioned her country about the conference and the other countries, "So…what is your former caretaker like and what did…or does he look like Alfred? Is he…well…old or is he like you, young and such?"

Alfred laughed at her 'cute' question, "what? Iggy young? Nahhh he's old…but he has a large stick up his ass, he's so prude…and his cooking sucks" Alfred stuck his tongue out in disgust, remembering the last time he ate Britain's homemade scones, god…they tasted so horrible, he never did want to say anything mean to his former caretaker but he couldn't lie to him when he said Arthur's food tasted like crap.

Andria laughed a bit and smiled to Alfred, "come now…it wasn't horrible Alfred, I bet your telling me stories to try to scare me"

"no lie dude, his food tastes like crap. He cooks scones, but they always end up tasting horribly and burnt…" if he could cry, he would, but he was a hero and heroes don't cry over something so trivial at all. Andria rolled her eyes, not sure if he was telling the truth or being over dramatic about it, because this was her country she was talking about and he does get over dramatic with somethings.

"okay, enough of your ranting Alfred, tell me what he looks like and what he's like instead of how horrible his cooking is"

Alfred grinned and leaned back, "well…to describe him, he acts like a female who's on his time of the month 24/7 basically especially near France, that's when he gets extra bitchy"

Andria stared at Alfred and laughed hard, imagining Laurence like that. The thought alone made her laugh harder and grin like a fool, "oh my god, really? That's fucking rich!"

Alfred laughed and smiled, "yeah, he has like shaggy blond hair that's all scruffled and such, and you can really notice him with these monstrous eyebrows of his! They're like freaking caterpillars! They're soooo big!" Alfred then put two fingers on each eyebrow to show his emphasis on what he was trying to say, show she could get the image into her mind.

She laughed more and grinned, looking at the blond, "Really now? I find that hard to believe Alfred, you have to be lying, no one has big eyebrows like that"

"Iggy does! He so has big eyebrows like that!"

Andria laughed and rolled her eyes, "Alright, alright, tell me about the others than…"

"okay! So..." during their descent described most of the G8 as they landed. He was describing the other countries to, starting from Sweden and the Nordics, the countries who originally founded him, but never really was able to keep him because of the Vikings were more of pillaging and making havoc than keeping and making colonies. Andria was in awe listening on as they took a taxi to a very nice hotel to stay at as he talked, not paying attention to anyone else-or actually anything else as she listened to her country, as he went on and on.

This was so fascinating to her, she never knew that much about the countries as her country told-sometimes rambling about certain countries or giving a slight rant-about most countries. "wow….that's so amazing Alfred, tell me more"

as much as she tried to not show it, it still happened though, she looked like a kid being told about the story of Christmas or something amazing along those lines, which made Alfred laugh and smile, ruffling his friend's hair, amused as she huffed and fixed her hair briefly."Alright, alright I'll tell you everything I know okay?" at her nod, he smiled as he told Andria, everything he could about most of the countries and such. Soon deciding to tell her about the World Conference and what was going to go down as their taxi stopped in front of a nice hotel.
