A.N.: Thank you for being so patient, guys! I will upload more with the reviews I have got, but this chapter is not gonna include any only because I had a storyline set up in my mind already for this chapter. The reviews will be in the next chapter though, I promise! :D
WARNING: VERY LONG CHAPTER!
Jade walked in wearing a fencing outfit, which was unusual to all but Harriet, who also happened to be in a fencing outfit. Jade walked up to her, a glove in hand, and began the duel with a simple move.
"I challenge you to a duel!" Jade exclaimed, slapping Harriet with the glove.
Jade walked backwards a certain distance, Harriet walking towards her.
"Challenge accepted!" Harriet yelled, slapping Jade with a glove in her hand.
They then got into a major fencing battle, both seeming to master everything needed for a good duel. After a round, they stopped, laughing.
"And what, pray tell, was that all about?" Britain asked.
"We thought of having a break from all of the reviews for a chapter so the fans could see what we do in our spare time." Ali explained.
"And the fencing battle was just for a bit of fun – Harriet took me to Cornwall for a weekend and we learnt a bit of fencing." Jade added. "So now I got that out of the way (A.N.: I had wanted to add it for some time!), we should have some fun…"
"Wanna have a rollerdisco?" Ali asked.
"Yeah, that would be fun. But try not to get another friction burn, Harriet!"
Jade looked at Harriet accusingly, to which she reassured she would be fine this time. The hosts then used their magic to get a rollerdisco underway. Most of the countries were quite good, which was a surprise to Jade. In fact, it kind of made her feel ashamed as she couldn't skate to save her life (A.N.: True story!). After claiming she needed to 'take a break', Jade skated out of the room (shakily, I might add) and sat down in the changing room.
"Why am I feeling so depressed?" she asked aloud. "I'm supposed to be having fun, but I feel as if something is trying to ruin everything. Why do I feel like this?"
What she didn't know was that a certain nation had followed her out of the rollerdisco and had heard her emotional outburst (A.N.: That might not be the right word, but I couldn't think of anything else). She was about to head back when she heard something.
"Who's there?" she asked, voice slightly shaky. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong." the nation replied. "But are you okay? You sound as if you've got something on your mind."
Jade got up and headed out of the changing room to find Canada there (You think I forgot him, didn't you? XD).
"I-I'm fine," Jade replied. "I-i-it's just that I'm feeling a bit under-the-weather, that's all."
She tried to sound convincing, but she didn't know if she'd sounded convincing enough.
"It doesn't matter, let's just get back in there – who knows what they could be doing?"
When they re-entered the room, everyone was chatting amongst themselves, obviously having a break. Jade sat with the other hosts, who were chatting about cosplaying and the usual fan stuff.
"I think they're all enjoying themselves a bit more, seeing as we're taking a break from the truths and dares." Ali said.
"Yeah, I think so too. So what next?" Harriet agreed.
"I think we should have a pool party, just because we can!" Jade and Amy replied, looking at each other funnily for a moment before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Trez asked.
"We just found it funny that we said the same thing at the same time." Amy replied.
"I've had an idea: you know Loveless, that manga Trez showed us?" Jade asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"How's about we give everyone cat ears and a tail, but if they've lost their virginity, they have a different colour?"
"That's brilliant!" Harriet exclaimed, getting attention from the nations.
"What's brilliant? Is it pasta?" Italy asked, unaware of what was going to happen.
"…Yeah, it's pasta. Pasta's brilliant!" Ali replied, acting as if she knew what she was talking about.
"Oh great, not another one…" Germany muttered.
"Just continue with your conversations, we'll be with you in a moment." Jade added.
When the conversations continued, Jade got another idea.
"How's about on top of the cat ears, we play the pocky game?" she asked.
"Didn't that come up as a dare?" Ali added.
"I think so…eh, it doesn't matter. The only thing different about the dare and this is that everyone, including us, has to do it. You guys don't mind, do you?"
"So long as we choose like we did in the dare: using a top hat."
"Got it. Now we have to make the cat ears a surprise, so someone distract them. I'll go cast the spell."
Jade walked over to the changing room and started casting the spell while Ali explained that they were going to play the pocky game again, but this time with the hosts. Once she finished explaining, the spell was complete, so Jade walked back in to find that a few nations had different coloured cat ears. She started making her way back over to the other hosts, ignoring the stares from the nations. It was all silent, apart from the occasional twitch of a cat ear. Harriet broke the silence.
"Does anyone else wonder why we all have cat ears all of a sudden?" she asked, not remembering the plan of action.
"Yeah, that's kinda mysterious…" Jade replied. "Wait, how come you have an orange tail but brown cat ears? That doesn't make sense!"
"I already had an orange cat tail, remember? Same with Ali and her blue cat ears and mousy brown cat tail." Harriet answered.
"Wait, you had mousy brown hair? Since when?" Jade asked Ali.
"I didn't." Ali replied, turning red like her hair. "I…did it with Derek!"
"Who's Derek?" Trez asked, puzzled.
"Derek is her ex-boyfriend. She dumped him when he cheated on her with a blonde floosie." Jade explained.
"He's a thing of the past, let's think about now!" Ali exclaimed, forgetting about her romantic past.
"Yeah, let's get on with the pocky game already!" Jade added, noting the grey cat ears Germany had and the tabby cat ears Italy had.
~Timeskip brought to you by Loveless (which belongs to its creator)~
"Okay, so who's first?" Amy asked.
Everyone had picked a number between 1 and 14 and the pairs were as follows: Amy was with Germany; Ali was with Russia; Harriet was with America (again?!); Jade was with Canada; Trez was with France; England was with Italy and Japan was with China (That was randomly picked BTW, so NiChu fans got lucky! XD).
"Okay, can 10 and 2 please start this off quickly? I feel as uncomfortable as you do!" Jade confessed.
Germany looked uncomfortable with the whole idea, but still got the game started. Amy didn't seem like she was enjoying it until they started kissing, which was a surprise to Jade as she knew Amy had a major crush on Britain. When the two released for air, Italy glomped Germany immediately.
"Now for 11 and 7 to make their way into the game." Amy said, blushing.
Ali and Russia walked over to the box of pocky and started getting closer and closer until they kissed very briefly. Trez looked relieved, seeing as she really liked Russia, but when he brought Ali in for a stronger kiss, Trez nearly screamed. Jade actually had to hold her back to keep her from pulling the two apart! When they finally finished, Ali felt a little dazed.
"Can numbers 4 and 12 try and top that?" Ali asked, looking at Trez without any regrets.
Harriet and America walked over to the same area and seemed a bit more comfortable than when they had to play the game as a dare. England looked a bit jealous that America was playing the game with another person. When Harriet took over the kiss, it was a surprise to most as she was more nervous the first time. Amy decided to distract England by talking about Flying Mint Bunny.
"Time for 5 and 13 to spice it up!" Harriet exclaimed.
Jade glared at Harriet for a moment before blushing. When she sat down she saw Canada looked red as well, probably feeling the same way. She got a bit more relaxed as they got closer to kissing. Just get on with it, girl! You might never get this moment again in your life! she though, mentally pep-talking herself. It got her confident enough to just smash her lips against his, forgetting everyone else was there. He tastes like maple syrup… she noted, stopping to breathe. Her jade green orbs were locked onto his lavender ones as she said the three words that would change her life forever.
"I love you," she confessed. "I have loved you since we first started this and this was the perfect time to confess."
Jade ignored the cat-calling that followed, feeling a rush of excitement and adrenaline at the same time. She was pulled out of her daydream when she found she was being carried bridal style to the crowd.
"I bet you can't top that, Trez!" Jade called, earning a glare from Trez.
Trez decided to make it quick, knowing she couldn't get out of it without being pestered for the rest of the game. France looked excited, getting a kiss from a pretty lady. He didn't get much of a thrill, to everyone's disappointment. When Trez walked back to the hosts, she looked as if she couldn't care less.
"Can 6 and 1 make this any more breath-taking?" Trez asked sarcastically.
England (I will change between that and Britain from time to time) looked apologetically at America before starting the round off. Italy broke off halfway, babbling that he loved Germany too much to betray him.
"It's alright, I don't think England would have been able to do this to America either." Jade reassured Italy. "And now for the last pair to finish this!"
China and Japan refused to join in, not wanting to embarrass each other (Sorry NiChu fans, I just couldn't do it to them!).
"Okay, so what now?" Ali asked.
"…Kinect Party?" Jade offered.
Most of the group agreed, so Jade summoned a flat-screen TV, an XBOX 1 (which belongs to XBOX) and a Kinect (which also belongs to XBOX). Those who wanted to take part, which included 4 of the 5 hosts (Trez wasn't interested) and a few of the nations (most wanted a break), took about 2 hours between them, by which time Jade had had enough action for one day.
"Okay," Jade started, trying to catch her breath. "I think that's enough for today. There are bedrooms upstairs provided and we will continue the reviews tomorrow. See you all then!"
And with that, those who were exhausted went straight to bed while the rest got accustomed to the bedrooms.
I'm so sorry if this was too long, I didn't realise how much I'd written! But yeah, I wanted to take a break from the reviews to show you what we do sometimes in our spare time. Now I've written this, I'm probably gonna- *passes out while Nova Scotia walks in* Um…well what AL246 would have said is that you guys are awesome for being patient and please keep reviewing!
