Joy, no Internet access… For this next week (and probably the week after) I will only have Internet access for a few hours a day. That means I can only update to FanFiction in the evening, probably a little after 8. By the way, I'm going to be living on the East Coast of the US until August, so that would be 8 in Eastern time, 5 where I usually live (in Nevada). I hate this… No Internet access on my laptop! That is basically torture to me because I can't even read FanFiction stories! I can't go to Kongregate, I can't go to any social networking sites, and I can't even check my bank accounts! I would be willing to do the most boring thing in the world online if it means I have Internet.

Okay, I think my rant about no Internet access has gone on long enough. For this chapter, I do have a few notes. First, England and China are already a couple. I just like writing that way better for oneshots, since I usually take several chapters in a story to actually develop a relationship between two characters. Also, England and China are cosplaying as Jellal and Erza from Fairy Tail. I like Fairy Tail, and I like Jerza. I have used pictures from the Fairy Tail wikia, but I am bad at explaining what they looked like, so just go to the wikia for the pictures. Last, I am basing this story off of Sabakon, the most recent anime con I attended. It was at Alexis Park Resort in Las Vegas, and hopefully, I'll be able to remember it.

How I loved Sabakon! I remember that there were two Hetalia panels, one of which I couldn't attend because it was an 18+ panel. {In Las Vegas, I can go to casinos; I just can't go near the machines. I'm saying this to clear up confusion about the Fourth of July chapter; I am not over 18 yet} If you have about an hour of free time with nothing to do, go to YouTube and type in 'Hetalia Sabakon 2014'. Go to the second result. My favorite moment was at around 56:45., where I showed England a picture of Iggychu. He said it was cute and we should reenact it. He asked where China was, and looked at me. Like I said before, I look like China…

Gosh, this was quite the author's note. I should probably start the actual story, since I don't think you'll want to listen to this boring thing…

Cosplaying

"This was Japan's idea, right?"

"Japan said he had some extra tickets to Sabakon, since Austria and Hungary were too busy to attend."

"This will probably be my first time cosplaying," England muttered as he took another look at the reference picture of Jellal. England and China were hurrying around their room at Alexis Park Resort. The clock on top of the nightstand by their bed read 7:26, leaving the convention to start in 1 and a half hours. As Japan suggested, they both would be cosplaying as characters from Fairy Tail, one of the most popular anime and manga series in Japan. After a little freaking out on China's part when realizing he would be a girl, the two accepted the offered costumes from Japan.

"Remember to put on the wig!" China called as he threw said object at England from across the room. Catching it, England set it and the wig cap on a table before taking his cloak and armor. Meanwhile, China took his own wig, brushing out the locks of hair. Both nations had to wear wigs, since Jellal's hair was a unique shade of blue and Erza had fiery red hair.

After that, China dug through his suitcase and took out the dreaded case. "I can't believe we actually have to use makeup," he grumbled. Japan had continued pestering the two about putting on makeup, before they finally relented and learned how the apply the cosmetics. Well, he was the main country of anime and manga; it would make sense that Japan took cosplay so seriously. England picked up his own makeup case, shuddering when he thought of when he had to buy the two.

England glanced over to China, but froze at what China was holding in his hands. "Umm… China?" Said nation was, to England's surprise, holding three bras and some cloth.

"Japan said I should probably fake a pair of breasts since I'm 'crossplaying'. I think that's what he called it. I've tried it, and it took a while to get used to." China quickly replied. Apparently, he was still kind of embarrassed at the idea of cosplaying as a woman.

"Well, we should probably start getting into our cosplay," England spoke suddenly. He was probably getting used to the idea as well.

LINE BREAK

China turned around in the mirror, observing his cosplay carefully. He looked toward England, who was also peering into a nearby mirror. No, it was not a magic mirror. "For a man cosplaying as a woman, my cosplay isn't half bad." The two had managed to adjust their cosplay beforehand, so it fit them perfectly and actually was kind of comfortable. He finished applying the last of the makeup before brushing out his wig again.

"Still, I can't believe Japan chose this outfit for me. He was quite adamant about it; I couldn't pick anything else." China was nervously observing himself as well, blushing slightly. Why? Japan had so kindly chosen Erza's Robe of Yūen for China to wear, which was a little… revealing. Then again, which one of Erza's armors wasn't revealing?

Overall, this armor was a very revealing purple kimono. The upper part of the kimono was a purple tunic, decorated with many flower motifs and held closed with a wide, dark obi and a thin red rope over it. It also had a smaller white belt, which wrapped around the dark violet, lower part of the kimono. China also wore long, pink stockings and had bandages wrapped around his lower arms, with a fake blue tattoo on his upper left arm. He felt rather embarrassed, mainly because the cosplay exposed quite a lot of his skin. He no likey.

On the other side of the room, England carefully looked over his cosplay again. He also ran his hand over his face, where a fake red tattoo around his right eye was located. He was wearing Jellal's Crime Sorcière outfit, which consisted of a dark, high collared coat, plated armor, and dark pants. The coat had several heart like designs decorating its sides and sleeves, and golden colored trimmings. Beneath this, the armor covered his abdomen, and the Crime Sorcière mark was shown on his pants. Over his outfit, England was wearing a dark blue cloak.

"Well, I think you look quite nice," England commented, grinning at China. In retribution, he was slapped slightly on the arm.

The crossplaying nation glanced at the clock, saying, "8:17. We need to meet up with the others at 8:20, in three minutes." Quickly, the two went through that little imaginary checklist in their heads, each thing being checked off with that little imaginary pen in their heads.

"Contacts?" Check.

"Emergency makeup?" Check.

"Phone and charger?" Check.

"Pre-registration tickets?" VIP, and check.

The imaginary checklist continued, until China finished organizing everything and somehow pushed every item into that odd invisible space where he also somehow keeps his wok. They rushed out of the door downstairs, heading toward the courtyard where everyone else probably was. Of course, they found the group.

Japan and America were both waving to them, Japan with his camera and America cosplaying as Ronald Knox from Kuroshitsuji. France was Tamaki Suoh from Ouran Highschool Host Club, and Prussia was Soul from Soul Eater. There were also three or four other nation who weren't cosplaying present. You know, that was a rather smart decision on Japan's part. Less nations = smaller chance of chaos.

"Darling Chine, you look magnificent," France almost purred. "Angleterre, you look… alright." As Tamaki Suoh, France had gotten a wig, since his normal hair was too long. He was wearing the normal Ouran Academy uniform, which consisted of black trousers and a royal blue blazer over a white shirt and dark tie, completed by the Ouran seal.

"You finally arrived, guys!" America basically shouted. Frankly, it was kind of scary how similar he and Ronald looked. His wig was mostly a blondish orange color and dyed black in the bottom half of it, and was styled in a fashion eerily reminiscent of America's normal hair. He also wore a suit, tie, gloves, and dress shoes, which would be odd if it weren't cosplay.

"So, are you ready for my sheer awesomeness?" Prussia didn't really need a wig or contacts, since they already matched up perfectly with Soul's. He wore a black jacket with Soul's normal logo emblazoned on the left breast, and tan pants along with a black headband. So apparently, this Soul was awesome instead of cool. Same difference.

Nodding at the few nations attending Sabakon, England and China went straight to Japan. They were still wondering why in the world Japan specifically chose Jellal and Erza for them to cosplay as. "By the way Japan, we wanted to ask you something. You let the other nations choose who they wanted to cosplay as, but you insisted on us cosplaying these exact characters. Why?"

"It is really quite simple," Japan explained. He motioned for the others to follow, and the group walked toward the doors at the entrance. "I ship Jerza."

"What's Jerza?"

Japan glanced around, already finding several people whispering about how cute England and China looked together. "Oh, I think you two will find out soon enough," he said, holding back a grin. He knew he would be prepared for the two's shocked faces. After all, he had his camera.

I could have written a bit about Sabakon. I was too lazy to. :D

Anyway, I hope I can start writing better quality chapters, since I will hopefully have more free time to actually make them. However, like I said, I will usually update at night in my time zone, so I want to apologize in advance for that. Also, I would like to thank these people for following, favoriting, or reviewing this story!
