Present

"Then I'm gonna eat fondue and chocolate and…" After that, all Arthur could hear was blah, blah, blah. Ally was currently rambling on what she was going to eat. The two were currently in the airport, looking for Vash. Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Grüezi, Arthur. It's Vash."

"Oh, hey Vash. Where are you? We're already in the airport." Arthur looked around again.

"Well, I just wanted to let you know we are on our way. Lili and I had to finish cleaning." Lili…that name sounded familiar. Oh! That's Vash's adopted little sister! Arthur mentally scolded himself for not remembering the quiet little girl with long braids. He saw them awhile ago at a business event with his parents.

"Oh, I see. That's fine. Oh! That reminds me. I brought someone with me. So I just wanted to tell you that.." Arthur was not going through the scenario of not telling his friends he was bringing something along.

"…."

"Umm..hello?" Arthur wondered if Vash was alright.

"Boy or Girl?"

"Girl"

"I see…" Arthur heard mumbled words. "Lili, your going to share a room with Arthur's friend." Arthur sweat dropped. Poor Lili. He prayed that Ally wouldn't watch a horror movie or read a scary book.

"Well, okay. I don't want to bother you while your driving so…uh..bye." Arthur hung up and sighed. They were going to have to wait for a while.

"So Artie? Who're we staying with this time?" Arthur turned to Allison to answer.

"My friend Vash. He has a little sister, so you will be sharing a room with her."

Allison beamed. "Really! I hope she's cute!" Allison jumped up and down. This is so exciting! I can't wait to meet them! Ally liked to meet Artie's friends. Even though she only met one.

They made small talk for a few minutes until they saw a little girl with short blonde hair with a ribbon attached to it. She was wearing a pink dress and white tights.. She was holding the hand of a boy who looked like the gender bent version of her with a white hat. The boy was considerably taller than the girl and was wearing what looked like a green military uniform. The two siblings walked over to the two friends.

Arthur stood up. "Hey Vash! I haven't seen you in a while…Hi Lili! What happened to your hair? It was so long when I last saw you two!"

Lili smiled up at Arthur. "Grüezi, Arthur. It is very nice to see you again. I cut my hair to look like bruder. I think it looks refreshing." Lili turned to see Ally, who was watching the three friends greet each other. "Oh. Grüezi. You must be Arthur's friend. Was ist dein name?"

Ally looked at the little girl blankly. She didn't know German - wait. It sounded like she was asking for her name. Oh. My name. "Oh..uh.. My name is Allison! But you should call me Ally!" Arthur inwardly sighed. Did she just say should?

"That's such a pretty name. My name is Lili. This is my bruder, Vash." She pointed to her brother.

"OH MY GOSH! YOU ARE SO ADORABLE! I WANT TO TAKE YOU HOME!" Allison glomped Lili and ranting on how adorable she was. Arthur sighed. People were staring. Vash was ready to pry Ally off of his little sister before she suffocated.

"Ah, well. We should get going, so we can unpack," Arthur suggested. Vash nodded in agreement and Ally finally let go of Lili, settling for holding her hand and pulling the younger girl along.

"WOW! LILI! YOUR HOUSE IS SO BIG!" Ally looked at the decent sized house in awe.

"Huh? This is a very small house compared to other houses." The small girl quietly answered.

"What? This house is HUGE? Almost as big as Artie's house! And his house is big!" Arthur sighed. Why does she think everything is so high class?

"Ah. Well…we only have three rooms. And two bathrooms…" Lili said timidly.

"OH MY GOSH! ARTIE! How many rooms do you guys have?" Arthur sent the American an annoyed look.

"Seriously? Allison.. I don't think that knowing that is neces-"

"Come on! Answer!" Allison started to shake the Briton.

"Fine." He sighed. This girl is just…. "We have four rooms and two bathrooms."

"See? This house almost as big as Artie's!"

"Well.. It was cheap. Bruder says saving money is wonderful so…" Lili trailed off after Vash gave her a look that told her to stop talking.

Allison then grabbed the smaller girl and ran into the house. "Oh my gosh! I bet it's even bigger inside!"

"Um.." Lili's face became slightly panicked and confused as the tall American dragged the younger girl behind. Arthur sweat dropped. Poor Lili.

Lili opened the door to reveal an almost totally pink room.

"Wow! Sweet room Lili!" Allison was amazed at how pretty the room was. The walls were painted pink and the bed looked like it could fit both of them. The sheets and curtains were a slightly darker shade of pink. Magenta, maybe? There was also what seems to be a sewing machine and some sowing needles.

"You sew?"

Lili blushed in embarrassment. "Um. Yes. I sew in my spare time."

Ally smiled cheerfully. That's awesome! She always wanted to know how to sew!

"That's awesome! What do you sew?"

Lili smiled slightly. "I sew pajamas. And once I sewed a uniform so I could match bruder." She blushed slightly. "I also sewed a few of bruder's clothes."

Ally just couldn't believe how adorable at how cute this girl was! Of course not Maddie-cute. No one was as cute as her Maddie! But this girl was just..adorable. "That's so nice of you! I wish I could sew!" Lili's face brightened.

"I can teach you, if you want." Ally's face lit up at the suggestion.

"Really? You can?"

"Of course I can."

Ally hugged the small girl tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" The American was now squishing the smaller girl.

Lili didn't mind staying around Allison. Not at all. She can just be - too happy sometimes. Okay, all the time. The smaller girl was currently teaching said American how to sew. Even though Allison said she had never sewn before, Lili was surprised at how quickly she was learning. It had been only a few hours since the Swiss had agreed to help the American. She had Allison sew a simple dress.

"So, Lili, is this good?" She showed her half-finished dress. The dress was a light shade of green. It had spaghetti straps and had yellow flowers decorating the skirt and chest area. Currently, the dress was very short- not even reaching mid-thigh. Still, the younger girl was astounded by how fast the young American was learning. The dress was beautiful.

"Oh my gosh! It's beautiful! I think the skirt should be longer though."

"Of course! I ain't done yet!" Allison laughed, the soft sound filling the air.

Lili nodded and got back to the pajamas she was working on for Vash. The color was a light blue this time didn't have the frills like the other one she gave him. She had heard her brother wanted more masculine clothes one time.

Lili had decided she wanted to know more about her new friend. "Allison.."

"Yes?"

"Umm.. I was wondering… Do you have any siblings in America?" Might as well start with an easy topic.

Allison beamed. "Yup! I got the best little sister ever! Her name is Maddie! She is a few years younger than me. She looks like me, except she has glasses, purple eyes, and the cutest hair curl ever!" Said American started to sew again.

Lili smiled lightly. "She must be very lucky to have you as a big sister."

At those words, Allison stopped sewing, her smile fading. "You think so?"

"Ja. She is one of the luckiest people on Earth."

Allison's smile had completely disappeared. "That makes one of us.."

Lili was now confused. "Why? You don't think you're a good schwester?" She thought the older girl would be a very good sister. She was always happy and she seemed very kind in the few moments she had known the girl.

"Well, everyone says I am…" The American was now acting way out of character. Even Lili could tell and she had known her for a few hours. The smaller girl tried to change the subject, but Allison kept talking. "But I can't even be her hero. I know I always say that I am..but in truth, her best friend Gilbert is. He saved her ass a couple of times. I have never saved her from perverts or anything…." Small tears welled up in the corners of the older girl's eyes. "I'm always working…and I can't even make enough money so she can get her own room." Tears were escaping her eyes, falling onto the dress on her lap. The girl was desperately , and awkwardly as Vash had never lost control of his emotions, trying to stop Allison from crying.

"U-um. I bet she really appreci-" She was interrupted by Allison's voice.

"I'm such a failure. I'm so stupid. I didn't even go to college and after our parents died, I couldn't even comfort her." Allison was close to breaking down. Why do I keep talking? She wondered. She was suddenly pulled into a tight hug from the younger girl.

"It's okay, Ally. I bet Maddie thinks you are a very good schwester." Lili tried to comfort Allison, holding her even tighter.

The two girls stayed like that for a while in silence. Allison was the first to break the silence.

"So,ummm… What are you sewing?" The older of the two looked to what the younger was making.

Lili tried to hide her embarrassed blush and stammered out an answer. "I-it's for b-bruder. I heard that he needed pajamas, so.." Her face flushed. Allison beamed as if nothing happened and patted her head.

"It looks very good! Did you sew all of Vash's clothes?"

The little girl flushed. "Yeah… He says saving money is wonderful, so all our clothes are made by Mutti or me."

"Oh. That's good. It's nice to save money." Ally got back to sewing her dress.

"Ja. Mutti is very good at sewing. She made me this dress." Ally looked at the dress Lili was wearing. It was very pretty. It was red with pink stripes and had lace at the end of the skirt. She then got back to he dress.

"Ally?"

"Yea?" Ally looked up from the dress, which now almost reached mi-thigh.

Lili looked to the floor timidly. "How do you know Arthur, anyway?" Her voice was barely audible.

Ally gave the girl a funny look and laughed. "Why so timid? If it's a question like that, there's no need to be scared!"

Lili nodded, her blush deepening.

"So, how do I know Artie?" Allison looked thoughtful. She then broke into a big smile. "I KNOW! It's a long story though.." She scratched the back of her head.

Lili nodded, eager to hear the story of how the two friends met.

"Hahaa..well.."

Ally ran as fast as she could while dragging her sister behind her. She couldn't be late for her first day in a new school as a senior year. Also, she couldn't let her sister be late for her sophomore year! Heroes don't let their sisters arrive to school late! Also, she heard the student council president would show the both of them around.

"Ally! Slow down! I can't run any faster!" Maddie called out to her big sister.

"Sorry sis! I can't! You're gonna be late for school!" Allison could care less if she was late, all that mattered was her sister. That and their parents would be mad if they were late for their first day of school.

Maddie groaned, but kept up with her sister anyway. Allison asked her what time is was.

"7:59"

"Oh, damn! You're late!" Ally ran even faster. They were going to get lectured tonight.

8:10

Ally burst the school doors open, leaving a dent in the wall it hit. Maddie was right behind her, trying desperately to catch her breath. The doors slowly closed. On the right side, a boy around the same age as her slumped down behind where the door hit. He had a bloody nose and had a bruise on his forehead. He totally needed a hero! Luckily, she was one! She ran over to the boy. 'Dude, what is up with his eyebrows? Their huge!' She laughed as the images of caterpillars appeared in her mind.

"Hey dude? You okay?" She started to shake the boy. How did he end up in this state anyway. Whatever. The boy started to stir. He opened his eyes. She took notice of how green his eyes were. 'They're so pretty.' She started to stare at him in silence. The silence between the two didn't last long, as the boy started cursing colorfully to himself.

"Dude, watch your language. You have a bloody nose. What happened?" She looked at his bruise. Damn. It was huge.

"Ugh. I was waiting to meet the new students, then a door slammed open. Damn. I hope they're not lost right now." Oh. Whoops. 'My bad.' She chuckled nervously. Wait. Was he looking for the new kids? He must be the student council president.

"You're lookin' for the new kids? Hey Maddie! Look! I found the pres!" Maddie appeared behind her sister, having a look of..sympathy in her eyes. Why would she feel sorry? Never mind that. "Hey, dude! I'm Allison and this is my sister Maddie!" She pushed her sister towards the president, who was still on the floor.

The boy stood up. He looked annoyed. Why would he be annoyed? She and Maddie were here.. He should be happy that the awesome Allison was talking to him! (Somewhere on campus, Gilbert sneezed.) "I'm am Arthur Kirkland. I'm the president."

"Woah! I thought you'd be just a little taller! And what is up with those eyebrows?" Apparently, she was taller than Arthur. Arthur looked up and scowled.

"Since we are past the point where things will go smoothly, I will just show you where your homeroom is." She took note that he was British.

"Wow! You're British! I always wanted to now someone that was British!" Arthur's scowl deepened and his (huge) eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. Why was he annoyed? What a killjoy. She was just trying to lighten the mood. "Come on, Maddie!" She took her sister's hand and pulled her along while following this Arthur dude.

He showed her around the campus and showed where her sister's classes were. Apparently, Maddie was in three classes with this Gilbert guy. Allison made a note to watch that guy later.

Arthur gave a schedule to her and showed her to her homeroom class and walked away. 'I have a feeling we're gonna be best friends!' She thought cheerfully to herself. Later, she found out he was in six periods with her. She tried making conversation with him again and he would reply in a really annoyed tone. After awhile, the annoyance in his voice disappeared and they had longer conversations. She also nicknamed him Artie, much to his annoyance.

After Ally's parents died, she shut herself off from everyone. Her relatives sent her money and sympathy, but didn't actually see either her or her sister. Ally was shut in her room, refusing to come out, even if her sister was yelling and crying at the door to beg her to come out. She rarely ate and barely said a word and crouched in the corner of her dark room. Allison refused to go back to school. Her sister went to school, but her grades faltered due to loss of sleep and trying to get her happy sister back.

After weeks of acting like this, Arthur went to the small apartment they now lived in and kicked the locked door open. Allison stared at Arthur with wide eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO YOURSELF, YOU STUPID GIT?" Arthur looked at her thin face.

"Arthur, what are-" She was interrupted by Arthur's yelling.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Allison cringed.

"I c-can call you whatever I wa-" She was cut off when she felt Arthur pull her in a tight hug.

"No, you have to call me Artie like you usually do." Allison's eyes widened and she stiffened at the sudden contact. "and smile like you used to, and eat a lot of hamburgers." Ally started to tear up. "and bother me like you always do, and hang out with Gilbert, and go to school, and- and" Arthur's voice started to crack. "and be my best friend."

Allison's tear filled eyes widened and return Arthur's hug and sobbed into his chest.

"Yup! After Artie's little visit, I became more happy and went to school! That's also why he's my best friend!" Allison smiled brightly.

Lili nodded. The story was so sweet. "Arthur is a really good friend."

"Damn right! But sometimes he has this huge pole up his ass."

Lili giggled. Allison was right. She looked at the time. Oh no. It's almost dinner! Maybe I can make some fondue. She nodded to herself. Yeah. Fondue sounds good.

"Allison?"

"Ne? Call me Ally!"

"Ally, do you want to help me make dinner? I'm making fondue."

Allison's face brightened. Really? "YES!"

Lili was surprised at how happy she sounded. Any normal person would have just said "okay" rather nonchalantly. But, this was Allison she was dealing with.

The fondue turned out perfect. Allison was surprisingly a good cook. The two called the rest of the people in the house and had dinner.

After dinner, Allison and Lili went to their room and left Arthur and Vash to their own devices.

"So, Vash.. How's it going?"

"I'm good. So, what is Ally? A friend? Girlfr-"

"HELL NO!" Vash gave Arthur a confused look.

"I see." He wondered if Lili talks to Francis.

"So, Ally is like a friend?"

"Exactly."

"That's strange."

"What's strange?"

"The fact that you let her come with you, yet you two are just friends."

Arthur sighed. Is he going to have explain this everywhere he goes? "Ah, well, she works too much and she needed a vacation..so I asked her to go with me."

"Oh, I see. So, just friends?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Then.."

"umm.." This was getting really awkward.

"Don't try anything on Lili..or else.." Vash motioned to his gun on the wall. Arthur sweat dropped. This is going to be fun..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DAY 1 END!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Artie! Look! It's so big!" Allison pointed to the Cathedral of St. Pierre. She was right. It was huge. He looked up at the large cathedral. He admired the architecture. So far, he and Lili were dragged around by Ally everywhere they went (And Vash got to stay home to watch the house). Looking at cheese, various bodies of water, and trying food. They were currently at a cathedral that Lili had showed them. Ally was looking around and smiling brightly. Arthur smiled lightly. Okay, she is really pretty when she isn't annoying. Arthur didn't even bother to scold himself. She was wearing the dress she had said she'd sewn the day before with Lili. It reached mid thigh and was a light green with yellow flowers decorating the chest area and skirt. It had frills on the neck line, but wasn't too frilly. It fit her figure well, also. Yeah. Allison was honestly beautiful. That was why that guy over there was checking her out. Wait…What? Arthur quickly looked at said guy and flashed him a look that clearly said "Try anything and you're dead." The guy happened to get the message and walked away. Arthur smirked. Pervert. Arthur decided he would have to keep an eye out for guys like that. But that didn't mean he liked her! I'm just making sure she won't get into trouble. Yeah. She was still his best friend. That's all they'll ever be. He doesn't like annoying gits like her. Yeah. Just friends. Friends. Friends. He repeated the word in his head. It was starting to become a bad habit. He was interrupted when a hand pulled him roughly.

"Come on, Artie! You're gonna get left behind!" Ally laughed. Her laugh was so light. Yeah. Friends.

The trio started to head home. They had to get home before four. Lili had suggested they get home before Vash got worried, or paranoid..maybe both.

"So, Lili, is Vash a good brother?" Ally asked the younger girl.

"Yeah. He saved from dying when we first met."

Ally gave the girl a confused look. "First met?"

Lili seemed to understand. "Oh! I forgot!" She timidly laughed. "I'm adopted."

"Really? You and Vash look related."

"I get that a lot." Lili smiled softly. "Bruder found me collapsed from hunger on the streets after my parents abandoned me." Her eyes softened.

"Oh, I see." Ally nodded. What a nice person.

Arthur watched from behind. When they got to the house, they were greeted by a gun.

"Gah!" Ally grabbed on to a startled Arthur.

"Bruder? It's me. Lili. Put the gun down." Lili calmly said to her brother.

Vash lowered the gun. "Oh. I thought you were bad people. I apologize."

Ally suddenly pointed to a tree with a swing on it. "Artie! Look! A swing!" She proceeded to drag Arthur to the swing set. She pushed Arthur on the swing and she sat down on it. Lili ran over to said swing and pushed it.

"GAH!" Arthur held on to Ally for dear life as she giggled and laughed. This is the best vacation ever! Ally thought to herself.

-DAY 2 End!-

When the four reached the airport, Ally and Arthur thanked the two siblings. The goodbyes were pretty much uneventful. There were many "hope to see you soon"s and an exchanging of numbers.

"Lili was so adorable! I loved her ribbon!" Arthur nodded and pretended to listen to Ally's ramblings. Now for the dreaded destination (for Arthur that is). France.

Back at Home!

Madeline instantly regretted her decision. Gilbert had asked if he could help clean up her apartment, since her sister was gone. Not one to pass up good help and extra study time, she agreed.

Currently, Gil was miserably failing to clean the bathroom. The occasional crash being heard every now and then. When she tried to check, she was instantly pushed out by a blushing Gilbert, who was trying to hide spilled cleaner and was told to just keep studying. After a few hours, Gilbert had emerged from the bathroom.

"I DID A TOTALLY AWESOME JOB ON YOUR BATHROOM!" Was the first thing he said when he saw Maddie studying. He then proceeded to grab her hand and pull her in the bathroom. When he opened the door, she was shocked.

The bathroom was immaculate. It was totally clean. "Oh my gosh. Gilbert, you did this?"

The albino laughed. "Of course I did? Who else could have done this awesome job other than the awesome me?"

All Maddie could do was stare.

"Speechless, huh?" Maddie turned to look her friend. She noticed a bruise on his head.

"What happened?" She asked. Gilbert looked away.

"Nothing. The awesome me doesn't get hurt cleaning!"

"Uh huh."

"It's true! Right, Gilbird?" He turned to the yellow chick on his shoulder. Said chick chirped in affirmation.

"That's great." She took one look at the bathroom. He did all this. He even got hurt (Yeah, she knew) trying to clean up this bathroom. For her. She didn't even ask him.

"Hey, thanks for cleaning." She pulled Gilbert into the kitchen. "Let me make you some pancakes." Gilbert beamed. "But after, you're going to clean the kitchen."

Gilbert shrugged. "As long as I get more of your awesome pancakes!"

Maddie smiled. Best friend in the world. "Of course!"

"AWESOME!"
