Chapter 3

Sorry for the long wait. Enjoy.

Everyone else joined him to watch the news.

"Hey, Arthur, I heard you-"

"Yeah... Everything is gone. But thanks to Francis, he helped me get through those hard times. He tries to make me happy." Arthur cut off Canada. There was an Italian voice shouting outside. Everyone looked out the window.

"AHHHHH!" It was Feliciano, running away from Ludwig.

"Our training is over! Come back Feliciano!" Ludwig shouted. Kiku just stood there, and started walking to Francis's house.

"Herro, Kiku here." Kiku shouted and knocked on the door. Francis answered it.

"Bonjour!" I heard Feliciano and Ludwig out there, what's happening?" Francis asked.

"Werr, they're training, but it's not going very werl." Kiku laughed. Francis started to laugh, but... he stopped.

"So... did you hear the news... about Arthur?"

"Hai, I did. I feerl very sorry for him." Kiku looked down on the ground. "So what happened after his house broke down?"

"Well, I took care of him, and tried to make himself happy, he's not happy. I don't know what's wrong" Francis said.

"Oh okay." Kiku said. Arthur waved at Kiku, then everyone else did. Arthur continued to watch the news while playing his laptop. He sighed. Francis walked over to him.

"Something wrong?" Francis asked.

"Nothing." Arthur smiled at Francis.

Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard, AGAIN! There was Ludwig, and Feliciano.

"Oh, there you are... Kiku!" Feliciano said between pants.

"Sorry to be rude... hello." Ludwig looked exhausted.

"It's fine." Francis smiled. "Do you guys want some water? You look tired."

"Yes, please!" They both said.

"Anyone else want a drink?" Francis asked the rest. Ivan pulled out vodka from his pocket. Arthur got a beer from the fridge. He gave a beer to Alfred. Francis pulled out some wine. Yao and Kiku didn't want anything. A cat walked into the door, meowing at Kiku.

"You want some food, kitty?" Kiku asked the cat. It meowed quietly to him. Kiku gave some cat food to his cat to eat. It ate the cat food happily.

"So cute, Kiku, what's his name?" Feliciano asked.

"Werl... I just got this cat, and I can't think of a name." Kiku said.

"How about we call it... Fluffy!" Feliciano shouted.

"Well, it IS fluffy..." Alfred said.

"Fruffy, yes, I'rl carl you Fruffy!" Kiku patted his cat. Fluffy licked Kiku's hand. How cute! The whole crowd drank their drinks, and enjoyed the night, laughing, singing, and playing games. They all ended up falling asleep at midnight.

The front door creaked open... A dark figure stepped into the house. It looked as if he was carrying a permanent marker. He drew all over everyone's faces, trying not to wake anyone up. Then, the figure tiptoed out of the house, and closed the door very quietly. He started laughing when he went out, and he ran away.

Morning

Arthur woke up, only to find everyone's faces covered in permanent marker. He walked over to the bathroom, and looked at himself in the mirror.

"Ahhhhh!" Arthur screamed. He woke up everyone. They were confused. Francis ran to the bathroom, checking if Arthur's ok.

"Arthur! Are you alri- Ahhhh!" Francis screamed and washed the permanent marker off his face. It said 'GILBERT IS AWESOME!' Looks like Gilbert did all this.

"What a silly prank! You know what? I might just lock the doors every night!" Francis angrily said to himself. Everyone else in the longue screamed, and wiped the marker off their faces.

"Are you OK, Arthur?" Francis asked.

"I'm fine." Arthur said. But he wasn't. Francis knew it in his eyes, he wasn't fine. There's still something wrong. Francis won't tell him yet, though. They both walked to the longue, finding everyone wide awake.

"I think I might go, aru." Yao said, carrying his panda. "I got important things to do, aru. I had fun though, aru. Thank you, aru! Also good luck Arthur, aru." Yao waved goodbye to everyone.

"Same, I might go too. My sisters need some help with some things." Ivan smiled and walked out of the house.

"Same, dudes, I gotta go with my brother... cya!" Matthew and Alfred ran out of the door to their house.

"Us too, we have some training and vwork to do. Goodbye." Ludwig said with a smile. Feliciano and Kiku followed Ludwig out of the door.

"Goodbye!" Francis and Arthur waved goodbye to everyone.

They were both going to have breakfast. Francis made everything for the both of them. Arthur was reading the newspaper as he waited.

"Eat up!" Francis said happily. Arthur gobbled up all of his breakfast before he knew it. He went back to reading his newspaper. Arthur looked really bored. Francis was still eating. Man, he wished he could eat as fast as Arthur. The time passed by very slowly. Francis wanted to talk to Arthur later in the day. He didn't want to wait, though. There is something wrong with Arthur. What's wrong? Is he scared? Worried? About what, then? Who knows?

Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)
