I woke up in the morning, realizing that I wasn't back home, hoping that it was all just a dream, but sadly, it wasn't. Yeah, it really isn't that sad, but when you wake up in a different world, you expect it to just be a dream and end right then and there. I feel like I've gone crazy. But whatever, I just stop thinking about it because I would probably get all homesick and I don't really want that to ruin all the fun.
I made what was currently my bed and headed towards the living room, not really hungry for breakfast. I picked up the remote and switched through the channels trying to find something entertaining like maybe a cartoon to watch to pass time since I had really nothing better to do and I just felt too lazy.
"Raven, aren't you going to eat?" England asked me. I shook my head, continuing to stare at the television. "It's not good to skip out on breakfast. You should at least eat something, it doesn't have to be that much."
"I'm not hungry," I sighed, hoping that he'd just drop it because I wasn't in the mood to hear him lecture me on how eating breakfast is good for me. But I knew that saying that I wasn't hungry wasn't really going to help. I just hope he gets that I'm not going to eat.
"You need to eat something, please?" England said that more of a demand in a way than a question.
I sighed, giving up and getting up, "Fine, you win, but only this time. Next time, if I'm not hungry, I'm not going to eat anything." I walked over to the kitchen and decided to just get an apple since that wasn't much and that it would get England to stop bugging me to eat something.
I sat back down, hoping that I won't get bothered again, but apparently I only get to have one wish and it was already granted. "I got a world meeting that's the day after tomorrow. It's in Germany and I'm only saying this to let you know and if you would like to come with me so that you aren't here alone. What do you say?" He asked me.
"Well, at least this gives me a chance to actually meet other countries and gets me actually doing something other than sit around on my lazy butt and watch television all day," I thought to myself. "Yeah, I would like to," I said.
I sat there a while and a thought just came up to my head. "I need clothes to wear. Ever since I came here, I've been wearing these. I basically have nothing of mine here, which, in a way, makes sense. I'm not at my house, I'm not in my world so I don't own anything here whatsoever. Maybe I should ask England if he'll let me go shopping for a few things to get by. It shouldn't be too bad. I hate shopping anyways so I won't take too long and won't spend too much money," I thought to myself. I walked over to England and deicided to go ahead and ask him. "E-..." I was about to say England, almost forgetting that he'd rather be called Arthur than England by a regular person like me. "Arthur?" I asked just to get his attention.
He turned to me and asked, "Yes, Raven?"
"Well," I don't really know why I was becoming all nervous asking him though. Maybe it's the fact that I'm talking to a person who personifies a country and I'm not exactly used to it. "Is it fine if I go shopping for some clothes? I mean, all I have is what I have on now and I'm probably going to be here for a while. Also, the fact that I have no money on me."
"Oh, yeah, sure. That's not a problem," He said, handing me a credit card. "Here, you can use this to buy some. Just don't go all crazy on the shopping."
"Oh, no problem. I don't like to go shopping for clothes unless I absolutely have to. And thank you!" I grabbed the card and proceeded to the door, smiling back at England, giving him enough time to say, "You're welcome!"
"Where do I want to start at first? Maybe a store that sells casual clothes like t-shirts and jeans, I mean, I don't really like to dress all that nicely. I might buy one nice outfit, but if anything, I should get what I'm most comfortable in." I thought to myself as I found a store that sells the kind of clothing I would wear, casual.
I went in and bought a few shirts and a few pants, a pair of tennis shoes and a jacket just because I like to wear jackets no matter the weather. I paid for my items and then decided to go to another store so that I can get one nice outfit to wear. As soon as I did that, I shopped for personal items and headed back to England's house.
"Hey, Arthur, I'm back! Here's your card," I said, handing him his credit card back and headed for my new room, tossing the bags on my bed because I was too lazy at the time to put them away.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon so I didn't want to make lunch, afraid that it'll ruin my appetite for lunch. But I also don't want to eat what England makes so I thought that I'd volunteer to fix dinner, especially since I was craving spaghetti at the moment.
"What would you like for dinner, Raven?" England asked, going towards the kitchen.
"I'm craving spaghetti right now, but..." I don't want to hurt his feelings but I also don't want to lie to him and pretend to eat and like his food. But, no matter how uncomfortable I felt about it, I'm going with what my gut feeling was telling me to do and said, "I don't mean to make you upset in anyway, but could I fix it?" I started to stare out into space, scared that he will get mad for some odd reason and kick me out or something.
"Sure, I don't have a problem with that. But I really don't have the ingredients to make it." He said. "Unless you don't mind going back out and getting what you need to make the spaghetti." He handed me his credit card once again and, like before, I took it and headed for the door.
"Well, I'll be back soon," I said, waving at him, smiling. He waved back as I exited the house and walked towards town.
Even though I was only going to get the stuff I need to make dinner, I couldn't help myself and gotten me a bottle of orange soda to go along with it. I need to tell myself that even though I am borrowing a credit card, it doesn't, mean it's mine. I quickly went back because my stomach was starting to growl and I didn't want to make this longer than it has to.
Le Time Skip cuz I can
After we finished eating and cleaning the dishes, I plopped down onto the couch and turned the television on, flipping through the stations until I found a cartoon to watch. I was bored and I didn't really know what else to do. While I was more like staring at the screen, England came up to me to ask me a question. "Um, Raven, I need to tell you something."
"What is it?" I asked him, looking up at him after I turned the volume of the tv down.
"Well, I forgot to mention to you earlier that I was planning to leave tomorrow at around 8:30 in the morning so that I can be at the meeting on time. So, it'd be best to go to bed early tonight."
I nodded and turned up the volume as he left the room to do whatever Englands do. I watched the tv for a while and then fell asleep as it was getting later in the day. England noticed and he decided to turn off the tv and take me to my room. That night, I dreamt about how it's like meeting the other countries...
