Disclaimer: I really need to keep saying how I only own the plot, and partly my OCs? Well, okay. I only own the plot, and to a lesser extent my OCs. I don't even own the sweet gamer basement from the last chapter...
~Alyssa's POV~
So… Our house is full of anime characters until further notice?! What kinda jackpot did we win? America and Canada both looked shocked by this news. Maybe England hadn't told them yet. Kathy just stared at a wall, trying to process this.
"Don't Norway and Romania know magic, too?" Haley turned to England.
England looked up. "Well, yes but-"
"Then there's still a chance!" Haley said. "And if you can't get back, then beat the shit outa America for getting you trapped here…" She whispered the last part. England chuckled.
"What'd she say?" America asked. Kathy merely giggled, as Haley and Arthur smiled. "C'mon guys!" He whined.
"Let's just enjoy the rest of our pancakes," Haley said with a smirk, taking a bite.
I turned to Canada. "Canada, you can talk to us, too. I swear we don't bite. Well, except Kathy, but she doesn't do it much."
"We could talk about hockey!" Kathy suggested. "One of the few sports I actually like! Well, not ice hockey, 'cause I can't skate, but… Floor hockey!"
Canada smiled, a small, nearly unseen smile. "Maybe we could play later...?"
Kathy beamed, "YEAH! ...We don't have any equitment." She pouted.
An awkward silence fell on the table, as we all ate pancakes in silence. Eventually, the silence was broken.
"Thank you for the pancakes, Haley," Canada said quietly. "They're delicious..." If Canada himself compliments your pancakes, then you know you're doing it right.
The pancakes were eaten quickly, and we all slunk into the basement.
Kathy turned to us. "Okay, I only have four controllers, and America and I are definitely playing, so who else?" Haley grabbed a controller quickly, muttering something like, 'I'll show Nate that you never insult my...' I couldn't make out the rest.
"Iggy, you should play!" America yelled. Before England could respond, America grabbed a controller from Kathy, and thrust it into England's arms.
"I'm unmuting our mics now," Kathy said, pulling something up with her controller. "Luna, Ace... You there?"
Ace's voice greeted us, "Of course, sweet heart, I'd never leave you alone with Luna. He sucks."
Luna's irritated voice came next. "Thanks Ace, way to make me feel loved."
"Guys," Kathy interrupted, "I have two more guests, besides Al. Only one of them is playing, the other will be quieter than Angel Face."
"She's usually silent when you play..." Both her game buddies said in unison.
"EXACTLY!" Kathy yelled. "Anyway, I'll be playing, as will Al and Ice Queen. The other new guy is Iggy. I don't think he's ever played, so be nice."
"Dude, he's gonna suck!" America laughed.
"Nate, you're going to die," Haley glared at the TV screen. "Even though we're on the same side."
"Guys," Kathy interrupted again, "Let's work out battle names for when we're in the game, 'cause I think saying 'Accailia' every time you address me will get tiring."
"Then we can call you Accy!" America exclaimed.
"NO." Kathy said.
"What's wrong Accy?" Ace called. "Don't like your new name?"
"Whatever..." She frowned. "Iggy, you've been shockingly silent this whole time, care to tell us why?"
"What exactly are the controls?" He asked, staring at the controller quizzically.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..." Ace said. "Slow down... You're new friend is British?"
"Ace, I swear to all that is pure, holy, and anime, if you eve-"
"Limey bastard," Ace feigned a British accent. "Let's all have tea and crumpets!"
England, Kathy, and Haley face-palmed. England scowled at the screen. "Nate, I swear sometimes you're worse than Kathy's brother..." Haley muttered.
"What's wrong with her brother?" England asked.
"He thinks it's an insult to call someone English..." Kathy muttered. "I told him to think up a better insult, like black sheep of Europe, or to be clever, and call them wealthy, because money there is in pounds..."
"Can we just get to the zombie killing?" Luna asked.
"Yup," Kathy smiled. They all readied-up, and the loading screen popped up.
~England's POV~
Okay, I could see why Haley hated this Nate fellow. The controls were easy enough, and we decided to wait at the windows for the zombies. I glanced over at Haley's portion of the screen to see Nate and she were throwing grenades at each other. I then looked back to my screen to see a zombie before it faded to a grayish color.
"Who gets a down on round one?"
"I was distracted!"
"It's okay Iggy, you're just new at this." Kathy smiled warmly. Her character then knifed a zombie in the stomach. "Cover my window, I'll revive him."
~America's POV~
While they were distracted, I threw a grenade at them and laughed as they died.
"WHAT THE HELL AL?!" Kathy screamed. "You don't just use your grenades on round one, and what did I even do to you?!"
~Haley's POV~
From her spot on the floor I saw Kathy throw a grenade at America. I smiled to myself, as he was occupied with a window. After that we all killed ourselves off with grenades. It was one of the shortest times I spent playing a video game before death.
Kathy bid farewell to her friends, and got different games. We basically spent most of the night taking turns playing video games. It was pretty fun. It was getting pretty late though.
"Okay, everyone out of my basement," Kathy declared, waving a broom around like a scepter.
~Alyssa's POV~
Kathy kicked us out of her basement. So I decided to show Canada to the couch, and get him pillows, and blankets.
"Thank you," He whispered, with a small smile. I couldn't help it anymore, and hugged him tightly. "Maple..!"
~Kathy's POV~
I watched as America slept in my hammock, a big smile on his face. I took this as my opportunity, and grabbed my laptop from underneath my pillow. I quickly opened it up to deviant art.
~Time Skip~
~Haley's POV~
I woke up, and stretched. I left my room, deciding to make breakfast, because why the hell not. As I passed by the basement door I was hit by the loud sound of snoring. And here I thought Kathy's snoring was bad. I was going to sit on the couch, but then remembered Canada was sleeping there. I couldn't really make him get up, because it was Canada, and he was too adorable. I thought about waking up Kathy and America, but Kathy was ...unpredictable when tired. She could either scream at you for every little thing, or be overly bubbly and space out constantly, and laugh at everything. It was kind of like being drunk without the booze.
~Kathy's POV~
I woke up to hear incredibly loud, obnoxious snoring. I looked over to see it was America's. I groaned, stretching. I was going to get up, but the blankets felt like hugging my legs. I crashed into the basement floor face first. Lucking, it wasn't the first time, and I had since set out my puffy winter blanket on the ground. I slowly ascended the stairs, to hear the house phone ringing. I quickly ran to it.
~Haley's POV~
The phone started ringing, but suddenly stopped. "Hello?" I heard Kathy answer. "Why are you calling here?" Her tone turned sour. "Oh what, you can't just tell me?!" Her tone also began to escalate. "Fine..." I then heard her inhale overly loud. "HALEY!" I groaned, walking into the other room.
"Yes?" She thrust the phone into my hands, and walked off grumbling something. "Hello?"
"Hi Haley!" I knew that voice. It was Brooke's voice. She had been my and Alyssa's friend since elementary school, but Kathy seemed to have a grudge against her. "I was just reminding you about my formal tonight. You and Alyssa are coming right?"
I paled. I'd completely forgotten about it. "Well... You see we have people over that I can't really leave alone here... Especially not alone with Acc- I mean ...Kathy."
"You each have a plus one," She reminded, trapping me. Well fuck, it was either flat out say no, or invite two of the nations.
"Alright, we'll be there," I said before I could completely register what I said.
"Thank you!" She said happily. "I gotta go, bye!" She hung up. Crap. I don't even know proper formal etiquette.
~Time Skip~
Eventually, everyone woke up, and I told them about the formal. Alyssa wasted no time in inviting Canada. Shocker. "England?" I ask. "I don't exactly know proper etiquette for a formal, so I was wondering if you could go to show me..."
I could almost swear a blush lit up his cheeks, but I'm probably wrong. "Of course." A looked over at Kathy, to see her trying hard not to glare at me, and failing horribly.
"Dude, that means we get the house to ourselves tonight!" America yelled enthusiastically. A big smile overtook Kathy, as I imagine she thought about so many fun ways to tear the house apart.
"Well, we have to go suit shopping, and then come back here to get ready, so you likely won't see much of us today." I said, turning to Kathy and America, only to see they were no longer there. I sighed, going to the car.
Author's Notes: I would like to apologize for a short, boring, and late chapter. I got sick, and didn't really know how to get it set up for what I'm planning. To make up for it, (or at least attempt to make up for this chapter) I will tell you a few things to pop up in the next chapter! There'll be: horror movies, a formal, cookies, more countries, rain, and Kathy driving some more. Excited? Also, sorry for putting the tittle in the story... I couldn't help it.
