An: Hello peoplez! Welcome to chapter 3! Before we start quick question! For those of you who have read my other story Caged (if you havent you might want to cause I will throw in references to it in here later) which do you think Makawee's spirit animal should be? The wild and graceful wolf or the hearty buffalo who sustained a majority of the tribes? Also thank you NarutoNinetailsFury for rping with me to do this chapter!

The next morning Arthur woke up with a book lying over his face. He was up late reading trying to find a cure.

"Bloody hell, what time is it?" Glancing to the side the clock read 8AM "Might as well wake the boys up for breakfast." The Brit got dressed then proceeded to the guest room. "Boys?" Walking over to the bed he spotted something in Alfred's arms.

"How did this get here?" Alfred snoozed away hugging Mana to his chest, oblivious that Arthur was even in the room. He gave a small smile. "So, he's kept it after all these years..." Knowing how prideful Alfred could be, he went outside the door and called in. "Boys! Time for breakfast!"

Alfred jolted awake, sat up and yawned. Matthew rolled over and mumbled sleepily before sliding out of bed. Then fell cause he forgot how short he was now and misjudged the distance to the floor.

"Boys? Are you ok?"

"Ow.." Matthew sits up and rubs his knees. Alfred can't help but laugh a little.

Arthur opens the door and walks in. "Oh." He says as he helps Matthew up, "Alfred it's not nice to laugh at your brother."

Alfred giggles a little more before sliding out of bed himself, still holding Mana by the paw. England smiles as he noticed that Alfred didn't hide Mana then picks them both up. "Let's go to breakfast shall we?" He carries them down the stairs, sets them at the table then walks into the kitchen. Patrick had left last night so it was just the three of them.

Matthew noticed Mana in Al's hands. "Where did you get that?"

Arthur smiles and attempts to cook pancakes cause he knows both of them like pancakes, "Yes, where did you get that Alfred?"

Alfred looked down and saw Mana staring back at him. Didn't even realize he was doing it, for some reason it just felt right to carry him around when normally he would go out of the way to keep the rabbit hidden.

"Uuh.. it just sorta appeared?" Matthew gave him a look that said 'you are sooo lying right now'.

Arthur chuckled "Alright then." He sets out the pancakes which are slightly burnt.

Matthew eyed the pancakes wearily before he noticed Kuma walk in with a bottle of syrup from the personal maple stash that he always brings with him. He had picked up the addiction by smothering it over Arthur's cooking to cover up the taste. Francis had punched Arthur in the face when he found out about this. The bear gives it to Canada as America practically inhaled his breakfast trying to avoid touching it to his tongue.

"So, what would you boys like to do today?"

The chibis looked at each other and shrugged, "Don't know."

"How about a picnic?" Arthur suggested.

"Cool! We can do hiking and stuff!" Alfred said as he waved his arms excitedly.

England chuckles "Indeed we can. Go get dressed and I'll pack the basket."

The twins ran upstairs to change, Alfred leaving Mana on the pillow, and came back downstairs within two minutes. Problem was they didn't seem to put their clothes on correctly. Arthur looks at them and smiles. "I...don't think that's right. Come on over, lad. Let me fix your clothes."

Alfred blushed slightly embarrassed. "Why can't I think straight anymore.." he mumbled. Arthur gave him a sincere smile.

"Don't worry. It's just been awhile since you needed help."

Alfred stayed silent, not that he didn't like the attention it was just awkward that he couldn't do it himself. Being left alone most his childhood had taught him to be self-reliant, and it frustrated him knowing he couldn't do things right on his own.

England sighs and walks up to Alfred fixing his clothes, he looks at Matthew. "I'll fix your clothes in a moment, lad."

Matthew on the other hand didn't seem to mind as much. France had often stayed at his house or on occasion brought him home to Europe before England took over his guardianship. Even when he wasn't around France had a hired nanny stay to take care of him.

Arthur stands up straight after fixing both of their clothes. "There. Now, are you all ready to go?"

At that Alfred began hopping in place "Yeahyeahyeah! Come on let's go!" He grabbed Matthew's hand and pulled him to the door.

Again thanks to NNTF for being my rp partner! I've tried my hardest to get one going with Simply but she is always either busy or not in the mood.. Hopefully I'll be able to get more done with Naru since we're in the same country (at least I think we are?)
