Author's notes: I've grouped the people into four age groups. The oldest siblings like Ukraine and Netherlands are 23, the main characters and middle siblings like America and Russia are 21 and the youngest siblings like Belarus are 19. Belgium is also 19, just for the sake of the story. And final group consists of all the really young ones like Liechtenstein and Luxembourg are 17.

Sorry, I just found out that Luxembourg is the youngest.


Chapter 3

13 days until end of vacation

Half of the countries went back out on the slopes while the other half went to the water park inside the resort. Belarus and Belgium had found the perfect bikini for Ukraine, the top was light blue while the bottom was bright yellow. All they needed to do was get Ukraine to wear it, in which they barely succeeded. Ukraine was kind of self-conscience of her self and was worried what Netherlands would think if he saw her in it. The youngest girl siblings convinced Ukraine that Netherlands and the others would love it. Now, Netherlands was relaxing in the hot tub with America, Britain, Russia, Canada and Germany, who had shaken off Italy somehow. "I'm loving this vacation." America said. All the others agreed, it was nice to relieve some stress. "A good idea from America, who knew?" Britain said. "Ha ha ha, very funny." American said sarcastically. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two were an old married couples." Netherlands said jokingly. "Says the oldest person here, shouldn't you have at least got a girlfriend by now." Russia stated. "Be careful what you ask for, here comes your sister Russia and she's dressed to impress someone, but who?" America said. Both Russia's and Netherlands's jaws dropped. Netherlands had thought he had a big crush on Ukraine before, now he was beyond that "Shes perfect." Netherlands mumbled thinking no one heard but America caught it. Ukraine the proceeded to sit down in the hot tub between her brother and Netherlands, who was blushing.

Belgium and Belarus cheered as they watched from far away. Their plan had worked. Now, all they needed to do was get the two alone together. "I've got an idea for step three, does your sister know how to ski or snowboard?" Belgium questioned. "She knows how to ski but not snowboard, why?" Belarus said. "That's how we get them together, my brother gives your sister private lessons." Belgium said enthusiastically. "Perfect plan." Belarus agreed. They left to go to the pool themselves.

Back with the older countries, they decided to ditch the hot tub and go to the indoor water park all around them. On their way they met up with Hungary who was done swimming her laps. They decided to split up into groups of four each, Netherlands, Ukraine, Russia and Hungary went one way while the four boys went another. Russia decided to join his sister's group to keep and eye on her and Netherlands. He had also heard Netherlands's comment in the hot tub and saw his reaction when Ukraine was walking over. Russia had heard Belarus talking about the two but dismissed it as just rumors but he was wrong. Russia wasn't that worried for his sister because farm work had made her very strong. She was also very smart because she had to be to support him and Belarus. Russia also knew these reasons were what caught Netherlands's initial attention, for Netherlands had commented about how strong and smart Ukraine really was. Russia just couldn't believe he hadn't seen the signs earlier. Netherlands may have had a rough past but he knew Netherlands had changed, especially for Belgium and Luxembourg. So he was okay with the couple that may form. The four then went on as many rides as possible before the day ended. Russia got a good look at Hungary that day, she may be his special someone someday but for now he was going to play with his sister and Netherlands.

After everyone was settled into their rooms, Russia decided to have some fun with Netherlands. He then knocked on Netherlands's door. "Who is it?" He could hear the Dutchman say. "It's Russia." Russia replied. The door then opened reveling Netherlands, who was just as tall as Russia, in a loose t-shirt and track pants.(Russia is very tall for his age, well, I guess they're all done growing.) "I give you my permission." Russia stated trying to keep a straight face. "For what?" Netherlands asked. "To date my older sister of course." Russia stated. "Why do you say that?" Netherlands said nervously, something he doesn't usually do. "Don't try to hide it comrade, just go with it." Russia said. And with that Russia left Netherlands stuttering. "I should do this more often." Russia said.

Netherlands needed sometime to think. "What should I do?" Netherlands said questioning himself. "I really do like her, a lot." He thought, "Maybe I should just ask her out." "Yeah, yeah that's what I'll do, tomorrow for sure." Netherlands said content. Little did he know that his little sister heard what he said and was ecstatic. Of course, Belgium and Belarus were still going to set up the lessons. As Netherlands was contemplating what to do, Ukraine was doing the same thing. She told herself that she would take any chance she could to be with Netherlands. Also, Belarus heard what her older sister was going to do. Belgium and Belarus met up and exchanged the news, all was going to plan and even better. And with that, everyone went to sleep.
