With Lukas in the driver's seat and Emil in the passenger's, they
drove off to the Cheddar's restaurant. Denmark had gone to pick Jia up
and the other two were headed toward the world meeting. Denmark
wouldn't be arriving until 6:30 and Lukas hoped he and Emil could get a
table within the next hour. This place was packed all the time and the
Nordic brothers were only a few among many others who also wanted
tables. Atop of that, the people whom were already seated liked to
linger hours after the main meal was done.

The brothers were handed a black disc with lights on it. When it was
their turn to be seated, the disc would light up and vibrate. While
waiting, they stared into the fish tank. Fish were things that they could both watch for eternity and be
satisfied. But they didn't have eternity. When Lukas glanced at the
clock, it was 6:20. He became very nervous and stared at the black
disc, praying that Jesus would make it buzz. This was so close of
timing. "J-Jesus, please let Denmark hit every red light..." he
silently prayed. The clock was on 6:30 exactly when the buzzer started
vibrating. As the brothers were being shown to their seat, Denmark and
Jia walked in the door. Timing couldn't be more nervrackingly perfect.
"Look bror, I have to go potty. Stay here." Lukas said as he went to
the bathroom. That was going to be him and Denmark's rendezvous.

Mathias had told the waitress that he was with the table where Iceland
sat. He and Jia were allowed to go be seated. "Look milady, I have to
go to the gents room. Can you sit by that table over there?" He told
her, pointing to the table Iceland sat at. She nodded, figuring that
the other character was someone who'd also had their name drawn for
this prize. She couldn't tell it was Emil due to the fact he had his
tall menu in front of him. Denmark set up a hidden camera before going
to the bathroom to meet Lukas. "6:30 and all is well!"He said
cheerfully. Lukas was glad to hear that, but he'd wished Den had kept
his volume lower. The glares received from the men in the room were
quite scary to say the least.

At the table, Jia began looking over her menu as well. Emil laid his
down, noticing the other figure. All he saw was the long brown hair
and the single flower in it. If this was Jia...he might melt like
butter at the sight of her angelic face. She sat her menu down and Emil swore
he was dreaming. She was both surprised and happy to see Iceland
there. Unknown to him, but she had been love-struck by him also. She
didn't care about many things, but the few things she did, she
cherished. He was one of those things.

They both looked at eachother wide eyed. Was this a coincidence or was
it set up? It didn't matter though in the slightest. The facts were that they
were here and they both were smitten by eachother. They stared at
eachother dumbfounded for a few moments before the waitress arrived,
asking about drinks and food. They snapped back into reality. "A-a
coke please." Emil said. "A root beer for me" Jia said. Then they both
gave their meal orders. The waitress jotted that down and went to get
the drinks. The two pairs of eyes went back to gazing at eachother.

Jia was the first one to find her words. "E-Emil! It's nice to see you
here!" she stuttered. Emil blushed deeply from embarrassment. "Nice to
see you too" he whispered. Jia smiled and pinched his cheek lightly.
"You're so cute when flustered." said the Chinese girl. Her hands were
so soft. She must use special products, he thought. As she kept
pinching and rubbing his cheeks, his embarrassment left. Him and her.
That's all he had room to think about. Oh, and food, once it came. The
food was perfect. Not cold, but not scorching either. Just right. The
flavors were amazing too. This was like France's meals. So perfect you
can't put it into words.

They both savored the meals, sending playful looks to eachother every
now and then. When the meal was done, they'd become more talkative.
While they chatted about eachother, Dan and Lukas were having a
conversation of their own. "I totally ship it. You Norgie?" Denmark
asked, turning to Lukas. The Norwegian did actually think Jia and Emil
looked like a good pair. He didn't feel suspicious of her hurting Emil
as he did before. "Makes me jealous actually. My little man getting a
date at the age 16 and here I am a single at 35." Mathias said,
his voice shattering Lukas' thoughts. Switching to what the Dane had
said though, Lukas kind of felt bad for him. He was 21 and already had
a fiance. Mathias, he had nobody. There again, the only person he'd
ever proposed to was Norway's nyo, and she bluntly refused. But now
was a time of rejoicing, not of moping.
