Canada walked into his house and set Kumajirou down. He goes into his room and he hears the answering machine.
"Well, I'll see you then and call me back." BEEP!
"Al?" Canada thought. He walks over to the phone. When he reaches to press the button on the answering machine, the phone suddenly rings. He picks it up.
"Hello?" Canada answers.
"Ah. Um, good evening, Matvey." The voice shyly says.
"Oh, Katyusha. Good evening. How are you?" Canada replies.
"Um, I'm good. Uh, I heard from Ivan about what happened at the meeting. Are you okay? " She replied stuttering a bit.
"Oh. I'm okay. Please tell Ivan thank you for me. I appreciate what he did for me but I wish he didn't tell Al the brutal truth, so hard. Even if Al doesn't look like it, he cries pretty hard." Canada said with a hint of sadness.
"I'm sorry. Ivan sometimes acts before thinking. But, his heart is in the good place. He protects people close to him. And you are a great friend to him, playing hockey with him mostly." Ukraine said with a bit of happiness. "Others usually run away or get crushed."
"Oh, um thank you." Canada blushed a little. "Playing hockey with is extremely fun. Al thinks that I might get squished by him." He laughed a little.
Ukraine giggled lightly. "That might happen but Matvey is strong. Just like Ivan. You won't get squished; you'll just rebound back, like last time."
"Thanks, Katyusha. Also, don't worry about me. I'm, more or less, used to being invisible. I guess I either have to make a huge commotion to get noticed or I don't know, dress like a girl?" sighed Canada.
"Matvey, then you will be the prettiest girl then. But you don't have to do that. Your friends recognize you. Just sometimes they forget or mistake you. France recognized you, right.?" Ukraine tried to cheer him up.
"Uh, sort of. He actually recognized me after I went into a crying fit." He cringed a little.
"I'm so sorry, Matvey." Her voice saddened.
"It's okay. I guess today is one of the only days that they realized I was there. It actually kind of makes me glad."
"Oh thank goodness. Matvey, I wish I could actually see you but I do not want to impose on you. So, um…" she said a bit panicked.
"It's okay. You can impose on me all you want. What are friends for? Um, when can you come over?" Canada blushed a little and scratched his face a bit.
"Ah!" yelled Ukraine slightly embarrassed. "Are you sure? It won't trouble you?"
"Calm down. Take deep breaths." Canada said calmly, but was also taking deep breaths too. "It's all right. Just come over whenever you want. Just call beforehand, okay?"
"Okay, Matvey. I'll bring Ivan too, if that's okay?"
"It's fine. Just make sure he doesn't sit on me again, please. I think he knows I'm there but he just doesn't want to move." He joked a little.
"Alright, I'll tell him that. Well, um bye or um see you until then."
"Bye Katyusha. I'll be looking forward to it."
They both hanged up. Canada then looked at his answering machine and finally listened to America's message. After he listened to it, he saved the message and thought "Well, I guess I'll see Al tomorrow. I should really apologize for the mess I caused."
Then Canada went to bed with Kumajirou.
