A/N: So, here is the third chapter! I want to thank everyone who favorited and followed this story so far!

And a special thank you to SparklePaws for writing the first review, it really encouraged me so much! I absolutely agree with your criticism and I tried to change things up this time and center this chapter around Madeline, although I already had of it written and ended up changing it.

After a few minutes of walking and chatting the girls arrived at the fraternity house. The music had could already be heard a few houses back which made them wonder how the police had not come yet. Feliciana was practically bouncing around with excitement and babbled quickly about how much fun they would all have only to be berated by her sister.

All of them hesitated when they reached the front door. Maddie had been forced to watch about every movie about college parties that Alfred had been able to find. He had explained that this would prepare them for what was to come, which made it educational in his eyes. It can't be that bad, Maddie thought as the younger Italian decided to knock on the door, in Al's movies they seemed to have a good time after all.

A brown-haired boy opened the door, a confident smile on his face as he motioned them to enter.

"Why is he only wearing swimming trunks?", Maddie heard Sakura's shocked whisper.

"G'day! Come on in!" Feliciana was the first to walk in, pulling Lovina by the hand as she went.

Maddie saw Tina smiling and giving her a reassuring look before walking behind the Italians, followed by Sakura and Chun-Yan.

Inside the house the music was blasting loudly and people were dancing in the living room, some others passing them to go to the backyard.

"Madeline!" Maddie turned her head to see her cousin approaching her. He pulled her in a quick hug before taking her hand and dragging her down the hall. The Canadian gave her friends a pleading look. Maple, I don't want to go there alone, especially not with Francis! Thankfully, her friends seemed to get the hint and followed her.

On their way, a tan boy grinned at Francis. "Your new girlfriend?", he asked while pointing at her.

"Ohonhonhon", the blond laughed out. "Non, this is my cousine Madeline! Maddie, this is Sadiq!"

"Bonjour...", she said shyly, her eyes moving between her cousin and the other boy.

"Hey! Hope you all enjoy the party!", he greeted her loudly, trying to drown out the music.

"Come on now, I want you to meet mes amis! Gilbert! Tonio!", he called someone with Maddie and her friends awkwardly standing behind him. A brightly smiling boy came up to them, putting his arm around Francis' shoulder.

"Hola chicas! I'm Antonio! Oh, mi tomate decided to come too!", he hugged Lovina tightly.

"Bastardo, w-what do you think you are doing?!" The dark-haired girl hissed, trying to get away from the Spaniard.

Maddie and Tina giggled at the Italian girl's aimless attempts to get away from Antonio when a loud voice filled the room.

"Someone called for the awesome me?" A pale boy caught the Canadian's eye. He smirked mischievously, a beer in his hand.

"Gilbert! I believe you should greet our new guests! This", he ruffled Maddie's hair "is ma petite cousine Madeline!"

"Kesesese!", the white-haired boy laughed, his red eyes twinkling. Maddie couldn't help but eye him for a moment. She had never seen someone like him before, his nearly white skin that made a stark contrast against his red eyes; the wild, silvery hair... Dear Maple, I am starring! Pull yourself together Maddie!, she told herself as she tried to tear her gaze away.

"Pleasure to meet you, Madeline. I'm the awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt!", the Canadian noticed how the boy's eyes suddenly lit up. "Ludwig! Komm und begrüß deinen Bruder!" (Come and greet your brother)

A tall blond boy walked over, followed by another one who was wearing glasses. One of them started talking to Gilbert and although the language was foreign to her, Maddie guessed that it might be German.

"Meine Damen", Gilbert smirked, one arm around the taller boy's shoulder, as he addressed the girls "this is mein little brother Ludwig and... uhm..." he looked over to the other boy.

"Berwald...", the taller of the two mumbled. Maddie had to suppress a giggle when she realized how intensely he was examining Tina who tried to avoid his gaze.

"Right", Gilbert continued "anyway, the alcohol is over there", he pointed at the kitchen counter that was covered in bottles and plastic cups. "go ahead and help yourself! There are only three rules: First of all, go outside to throw up; sex only upstairs and, most important of all: stay awesome! Ach und Mädels, I'm sure one of you is willing to dance with Ludwig, this guy really needs to loosen up and have fun for once!" The blond blushed furiously.

"Gilbert! This is unnecessary!", he complained, failing to hide his embarrassment.

"Ve- we could dance, if you'd like! I'm Feliciana!" Thanks god Lovina is still trying to get Antonio off of her, the Canadian thought with a giggle. It was quiet amusing to see Ludwig grow even redder.

"Ja... well... if you want to...", he stuttered.

"Certo che sì! (of course) But I really want a drink first!", she exclaimed happily before taking Ludwig's hand and pulling him over to the counter.

"Kesesese, that worked even better than expected! Anyway, I gotta go and greet my other guests! Now go and have fun!", Gilbert walked off into the hallway but paused for a second and turned around to smirk at Maddie, giving her a flirtatious wink.

Tina immediately grinned. "Wow, you really impressed that guy! Did you see how much he flirted?"

"I don't know... he probably just tries to be nice or something...", she replied with a sigh. Not that she thought she was bad looking, but why would someone as handsome and confident as him want her, of all the girls he could get so easily?

"Don't be silly, he couldn't even keep his eyes off you! I would really love to have some vodka, do you want any?", the smaller blond asked.

"Maybe I will take some beer, I'm not really into hard liquor..." The girls walked over into the kitchen, where Madeline took a beer out of the fridge while Tina just looked at the bottle of clear liquid with discontent.

"I can't open this!", she muttered in annoyance when a large hand reached out for the bottle from behind her.

"I can do it", a low voice mumbled before twisting the bottle open, handing it back to Tina. The Fin's cheeks, Mattie noted with a smile, turned pink as she thanked him for his help.

"Do you want some vodka?" The blond nodded. "Maddie, Sakura, I think I will sit down in the living room, are you two alright on your own?"

"Sure, we'll be fine!" Tina smiled again before leaving with Berwald who watched her from the corner of his eyes.

Sakura took a sip from her beer and leaned closer to Maddie to whisper into her ear.

"Look at the two", she said, pointing over to the blushing blond and the bubbly brunette. The poor guy is probably really overwhelmed, Maddie thought, but at least he won't get bored with her around.

"It's probably about pasta", the taller one noted and both girls laughed. "Hey, do you want to go and dance?" Sakura nodded and followed Madeline out to the veranda where several people were dancing around. Although Maddie felt embarrassed dancing in front of a bunch of strangers she decided that she wanted to have fun. Most of the time she just disappeared in the crowd anyway.

Sakura shyly started dancing to the rhythm so the Canadian just decided to follow suit. Two other girls danced right next to them, the taller one singing along to the music while the other one looked mildly annoyed.

"Michaela, I told you I did not want to dance...", Maddie heard the longer-haired girl's hiss. Maybe they are Tina's friends?

"Lovise, don't be a fun killer! Just this song and then we will go and find Tina, I swear!", the other called unnecessarily loud. Michaela leaned down to kiss Lovise, to Maddie's surprise. So the two are dating? Must be hard for Tina to be the third wheel..

Suddenly, a boy walked up to her and Sakura.

"Hey", he said softly. "I'm Heracles Karpusi." Sakura's brown eyes widened when he gave her a slight smile, his gentle green eyes meeting her gaze.

"S-sakura Honda", she stammered.

"I like your shirt", he stated simply.

"Th-thanks... It's Hello Kitty", she explained with a red tint on her cheeks.

"I love cats. Do you?" Maddie nearly laughed when her friend gulped before managing to smile back.

"Hai! I like cats too!", she brought out and her hand nervously fiddled with a strand of black hair.

"That's nice. Do you want to dance, Sakura?", he asked calmly, holding a hand out. Sakura looked at Maddie.

"Don't worry, it's fine, now go", she said. Of course she understood, but now it dawned her that she was all alone...

She made her way to the door, away from the dance floor and looked into the crowd, silently hoping that she would find one of her friends or even Alfred. All of the sudden, she heard a familiar voice calling out her name.

"All by yourself now? You look way to beautiful for me not to ask you for a dance", the voice said with a snicker. "A Prussian blue dress is pretty awesome after all!"
