Author's Notes (AN)

~Ugh. Thank god, our pc's working again...I can finally update. Enjoy T^T

Chapter Two~

I waited for someone to giggle or something.

Nothing.

They're… serious?

Okay. I'm trying to absorb the fact that my family has left me… But this… is a whole other thing to swallow.

"I-Italy! You shouldn't have-…"

"Ve~? What's wrong with my introduction?"

"Sigh… You see, this is the reason why no one would let us check in. They don't believe us. They think we're total lunatics."

Strange. It's a weird feeling but… I find myself believing them. It's a shocker… but it's like… deep inside… I knew them. So I have to believe them.

They were all glaring at Italy.

I cleared my throat to get their attention.

"Wait… I… I believe it." I said slowly.

"Eeehh?!" They said in chorus.

"You really believe us?" Russia said.

"Yes. Well, since our home used to be an old boarding house, we were accustomed to accept anyone who means well and wants to rent a room. Besides, it must've been really hard for you guys to get by here with your get-up and all."

They looked at their clothes.

"She's right." They mumbled.

I remembered the letter.

Those people belong to where you belong.

I took a look at them.

These guys are really handsome, I might add. But it's really weird to look at different races together. Let's see… Asian people are here, too. Since I live in the Philippines, I'm Asian, as well.

I analyzed them.

Asian: Japan, China, Russia

European: Italy, Romano, Germany, France, Austria and England.

American: America.

[~AN: Oh… I just noticed that America is Forever Alone T^T xD haha!]

I started to yawn and look at the clock.

"Oh, it's 8:24pm already? Okay, uhm… let me take you to your rooms."

"Okay, Miss Maya." They said in chorus, once again.

"Please, just call me Maya."

I led them upstairs.

Our house has four floors.

1st Floor: Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Bathroom.

2nd Floor: 5 boarding rooms, 2 locked rooms, 1 Bathroom.

3rd Floor: Master Bedroom. All bedrooms of the family merged in one room divided by curtain dividers. 1 Bathroom.

4th Floor: Rooftop. Its purpose was so that the boarders could have a place to hang their clothes. Now used to watch fireworks, picnic etc.

"Okay…buddy up, guys." I told them.

They looked at each other.

"Oi! Germany, you macho potato! I'm rooming with Italy and that's that!" Romano said.

"I couldn't care less." Germany said tonelessly.

"Ve?~ But, Germany!" Italy intervened.

"Austria, let me room with youuuu!" France said.

"NEVER." Austria said coldly as he brushed off France.

They fought again.

In the end, they decided with a draw.

The roomies are as follows:

*Italy & Romano

*America & China

*Russia & France

*Japan & England

*Austria & Germany

[~AN: There. I really did this by a draw so I hope they'd all get along ^_^]

I showed them to their room. It's a bit small but it has double decked beds so they'll be fine.

"Are you guys okay there?" I asked.

They lined up and bowed while saying "Yes! Thank you very much!"

~It was funny to listen to since they had different accents.

"Okay, I'll just change while you guys settle in."

I went up to my room.

It no longer had dividers.

It looks like they lined up our beds to make one big bed.

Tears are starting to well up again…

This… is reality, huh?

I walked down the stairs to Floor 1. As I walked down… awkward as it is… they stared at me.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

Some were blushing as they turned away.

"Your… clothes…" Romano said.

"Huh? Did I put in on backwards or something?"

I was wearing a loose t-shirt and short denim shorts. This is quite normal to wear since it's really hot in our country.

"It's not in the 2013 fashion trends but-"

"2013?!" They shouted altogether.

Don't tell me…

"So not only are you guys from a different world, you guys are from a different era too…" I told them after their explanation

I tried to look at them again. They all seem pretty nice. Although France is quite suspicious looking.. Sigh… I wonder what'll happen if they find out I'm totally crazy for the country-

~~~GRROOOWWLL~~~

Their stomachs growled like lions.

"I'm guessing you guys are hungry?" I said as they nodded shyly.

I went to the kitchen

.

Let's see… I opened our fridge to see if we had any food. I was surprised to see that it was loaded. Looks like they really… prepared for this.

"Okay guys, there's Rice, Sinigang, Nilaga, Adobo, Tilapia, Menudo , Afritada… and some iced tea. Eat up." I said as I placed the food on the dining table.

They just stared at me.

"The only thing I understood was Rice and Iced Tea…" America said.

The rest nodded.

Oh, right. They're foreigners. After explaining that it was Filipino food, they were quite hesitant about eating… but the food disappeared in a blink of an eye. I ate some,too.

I can't believe I actually ate together with these people…who are… countries…

"Thank you, Maya-san." Japan said.

"Oh yes, thank you again. You are very hospitable." Germany added.

Hospitable? Haha. Well, that's a trait of our people. I thought to myself.

I had so many questions to ask.

They had a lot to explain, too.

But they looked too worn out so I thought that it we should call it a night first.

Tomorrow's a Saturday so I guess I'll have to help them buy clothes and stuff. I need to check that account, too. Sigh. I can't believe I'm doing this. My family's missing. How am I able to take this so lightly? Is it… because I belong with them? Moreover, I need to remember make sure the 2nd locked room will stay locked or else… things might get… awkward.

Yaaawwwwnnn…..

They might find out… that my top favorite… countries are…

[End of Chapter Two~]
