Soreina had woken up early and packed her stuff to get ready to go to Japan. Arthur said Kiku would pick her up and drive over to his place, where Soreina would be staying. Soreina was definitely fully prepared for her trip. She wore black leggings and fluffy boots and a warm coat so that when she arrived at Kiku's place, she wouldn't get was waiting outside the conference house when Romano came walking past with his brother.
"Hi Soreina!" Veneziano happily waved.
"And hello to both of you!" She replied happily.
"We both made you some pasta and put it in a plastic container for you so if you are hungry in Japan, you can eat it when ever you want!"
"Aw! That's so nice of you!"
"Actually, I didn't make it; I just helped find the tomatoes! Romano did! He said that he wanted to give you something before you go because he might miss you and..."
"Hey! Don't just say it out loud like that! Besides! We could visit her anytime so you can see her everyday!" Romano quickly cut in before his little brother could embarrass him furthermore.
"Aw Romano... that is so nice of you!" She replied while giving out one of those sweet smiles.
Romano's heart melted a little. Every time she smiles like that, it's enough to make him blush even. Even though he had flirted with many other girls before, somehow...
Soreina was just different than other girls. She had some sort of effect on him that other girls didn't have... So...cute...
"WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!?" he blushed slightly and quickly snapped himself out of his thoughts.
Just then, Kiku's car pulled up at the front of the conference house. Kiku stepped out o the car and went to greet Soreina.
"Are we ready to go?" He asked politely.
"Yes!" She replied with enthusiasm.
Before she stepped into the car, Soreina turned to Romano. "Bye... I hope I will see you again..." She replied sweetly as she stepped into the car. Soon, the car was long gone.
"Are you going to miss her Fratello?" Veneziano asked.
"Why would I!? We are going visit her every weekyou know!
"Okay... hey! Let's go and make some more pasta!" he announced.
"Fine..."
As they walked inside the conference house, Romano's mind was thinking about Soreina. It was not true when he said that he wouldn't miss her, and even if they could visit her, she wouldn't be at the conference house to see him anymore.
Three hours had passed until Kiku and Soreina arrived at Kiku's house. As Soreina got out, she saw that the house was built in a way like those traditional Japanese houses that she saw on the online mangas she reads.
As she went inside she saw that some of the rooms were quite small and cosy looking. There was a small table and and pillows around it, which Soreina guessed was probably the dining area. As she looked around the house, she saw another room which had a fabric couch, another table and a TV which Soreina thought was probably the lounge room.
"Do you want to see the room you are staying in?" Kiku asked.
"Okay then!"
Kiku showed Soreina to a spare room at the back of the house. As Soreina opended the door , she saw that the room had a plain white mattress bed, a bedside table with a lamp, a curtain covering the sliding window's, a dresser and a soft plain grey plush rug decorating the tatami mat floor.
"You can relax if you want..." Kiku suggested as he left the room and closed the door, probably to do some work or other stuff. Soreina dumped her bags on the floor and flopped onto the bed. She was kind of tired during her journey to japan.
" I think I'm... going to...have a... nap..." pretty soon, Soreina had fallen asleep.
An hour later, Kiku was in the kitchen cooking some kind of rice dish when out of the blue, the house door bursted-slid open.
"Hey Kiku! Long time no see dude! I brought some of my friends over to you're place!" A really loud voice cried out.
"Alfred? Why are you here?"
"Well basically dude, I was bored and number two, I wanted to see Soreina!"
"Then why drag us into it!?" Arthur snapped with a really annoyed tone.
"Because it won't be much fun dude!" Alfred stated as he barged into the house and sat at the living room with Francis, Arthur, WangYao and Ivan behind him.
"Dude! I smell lunch! What are you making?" Alfred asked.
"I am making sushi... and since you are all here, I'll make some for all of you too..."
"Hey thanks bro!"
As the nations were watching a show on the television,(And Francis and Arthur fighting over the remote.) ,Another group of people bursted in through the door.
"Hey! Everyone is here! Ciao everyone!"
"Hello everyone..."
"Hmph..."
"Come on Romano! Be cheerful!"
"THE AWESOME ME IS IN THE HOUSE!"
Everyone gathered at the living room, at the same time, Kiku came in.
"Oh... looks like I have to make more sushi..." he said to himself and walked back to the kitchen.
Soon, everyone was either talking to each other, watching TV, or just doing nothing. This went on for a few minutes until Veneziano piped up "Hey! Where is the Soreina?"
"I believe that she is relaxing in her room..." Kiku responded from the kitchen.
"I'm going to say hi to her!"
"Count me in to bro"
Pretty much, EVERYONE was following Veneziano to the back room where Kiku told them where Soreina was to say hello to her. Veneziano knocked lightly on the door.
"Soreina?" he called out.
"Hey dudette? We're all here!"
There was silence. Everyone thought that it was okay to enter the room. As they came in, the nations had found her sleeping peacefully on her bed.
"Hey dudes! She's asleep!" Alfred exclaimed
"Shhhhh! Bloody hell wanker! you could wake her up!" Arthur whispered
"Ah fratello! Look at the sleeping bella!"
At that moment, Romano did take a quick look at her. Soreina's face was calm and serene and her eyes were softly closed. Even when she was sleeping, Soreina still look beautiful as always.
"So cute Aru..."
" So true..."
"So cute!"
"Da... i can imagine her sleeping among a field of sunflowers..."
"Ah... the mademoiselle looks even prettier when she sleeps... like a flower closed up at night..."
"I've got the feeling that we should leave the room now..."
"Relax bruder! It's not like Frau would wake up anytime soon?!"
And as if on cue, Soreina's eyelids started to flutter open. All of the nations froze on the spot as they watched Soreina waking up. As Soreina opened her eyes, her sight was still kind of blurry from sleep so when the first thing she saw was people in her room, she thought they were strangers and her sleepiness immediantly jolted into a panic shock.
"KYAAAAAAAA!" She screamed as in one swift move, grabbed her pillow and a nearby book and focused her strength to give at strong throw at the strangers, this time, hitting Francis with the pillow, and Arthur with the book instead. As Soreina's vision started to clear, she realised that the people in her room weren't strangers and that she had hit one of her friends.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry! It's just every time i wake up every morning, my vision is blurry!" She panicked while apologizing.
"No it's alright love... that happens to everyone..." Arthur replied back while rubbing his sore head from the book being directly thrown at it.
"Non Mademoiselle... do not apologize... it was an accident..."
"Well at least it vasn't me zis time... right Gilbird?" Stated Gilbert, talking to the fluffy chick he was holding in his hand.
As Soreina helped Arthur and Francis up, she had come to the realisation that they came here to visit.
"Oh my god guys! You came to visit me!" she happily squealed as she hugged the nearest person to her, which was Feliciano. As Romano saw Soreina hugging his brother, he felt a shoot of jealousy go through his mind.
"Why the hell am I feeling Jealous?" he thought.
"So! What are you guys here for?" she asked curiously?"
"Dudette! We came here to visit you!"
"Well basically... Alfred dragged us into this..."
As they were all talking, Kiku came in to announced that lunch was ready.
"Really! Great! I'm getting quite hungry!" Soreina happily cried out as she ran out of her room to the dining room.
"Dudes I'm with her! I'm starving!" Alfred exclaimed as he ran out following Soreina.
"Well... it looks like we better go anyways..."
Everyone was seated at the little cushions eating sushi while Alfred, had pulled out a burger from nowhere and started eating it for lunch instead. Soreina was the first to finish her dinner.
"Wow Kiku! That sushi was really nice!"
"Thankyou Soreina..." he replied.
Soreina decided to watch some shows on the TV. She saw that Mathew was sitting on the couch.
"Mathew! I didn't know you came along!'
"Well... pretty much no one knows..."
"Well actually... i had fallen in asleep in my room just then..."
"Really?! I'm sorry! It's just i thought you'd start to forget about me like everyone else does..."
"It's okay! No need to apologize!" Soreina happily smiled without realising Mathew's face turning pink.
Soreina turned on the TV and found a 'Funniest Home Videos' Program going on, which she decided to watch. She saw one video of a mother making a video camera movie of the house until her little toddler came up with maple syrup all over his mouth.
"Joey! Have you opened the jar again!?" the mother laughed as the laughter of the audiences followed behind.
Soreina laughed too while Mathew was just smiling.
"Hey you know what i'm going to make for breakfast tomorrow?"
"What?" Mathew asked.
"I want to eat pancakes with maple syrup!" she exclaimed with excitement.
Mathew looked curious" Do you like maple syrup and pancakes?" he asked.
"I love pancakes and maple syrup, I have it for breakfast almost every day and it never gets boring to eat!" she smiled happily, causing Mathew to smile along too.
"Hey Frau! What are you watching? Gilbert asked as he walked into the living room.
"Funniest home videos!"
" Only the awesome me will decide if the videos are awesomely funny enough!" he replied as he sat on another couch as Soreina laughed at his previous comment. Soon, Everyone had finished their lunch and went to the living room to watch 'Funniest home videos'. There was one video where a little toddler was dressed up as a posh English lady using her mother's clothes as the voicer voiced the pretend voice of the girl in an English accent.
" Thats not what English people sound like!" Arthur stated.
" Well Arthur, it's called a stereotype dear..." Soreina replied, not knowing that she had accidentally put on a British accent. Alfred jumped up when he heard Soreina use her accent.
"Dudette! You almost sound like Arthur that time!" He exclaimed while rolling on the floor laughing.
"Really? I guess Marley was right when she says that i have many accents in one..." Soreina wondered.
"Hey Soreina! Do an Italian accent!" Gilbert exclaimed.
"Huh!? What!? why? You know that can be very offensive since we have Feliciano and Romano here..."
"C'mon! Do it Soreina!" he exclaimed again.
"Okay..." Soreina took a deep breath to get ready to embarrass herself, only to be cut off by Alfred's loud voice."Hey dudes! Kiku has a Nintendo Wii! So who wants to play Mario Kart with me?"Seeing this as an opportunity to get away, Soreina quickly accepted to play the Game with Alfred.
"Okay I'm in!" Soreina Exclaimed. There was enough remotes for everyone to take turns on each round. Soreina chose Rosalina, Gilbert chose Bowser, Feliciano chose Luigi and Romano chose Mario. Gilbert chose the most hardest course that Soreina ever played, Rainbow Road.
"Gilbert! Why did you choose that course? It's easy just to fall off the rainbow track!" She exclaimed.
"I chose that course because it's AWESOME!" he replied back.
Every weekend, Soreina would visit Marley's house for a relaxing meet up. They always finished the day by playing Mario Kart on Marley's Nintendo Wii and Marley always chose rainbow road as the last course and Soreina always ended up losing in Rainbow Road.
The countdown in the game began and the cars sped off down the track. Gilbert was already in the lead, following by Romano, Soreina, and Then Feliciano.
"Yeah! You can never beat the awesome me!"
"Go Romano Amigo!"
"Quick Dudette! Use the red koopa shell!"
"Feliciano... why do you keep falling of?"
The whole day went on with playing games on the Nintendo Wii and lots of noise and fun. Kiku realised that everyone would be here until dinner, so he decided to make some rice balls for dinner.
And hour later, everyone had finished their rice ball dinner and everyone decided to stop playing games and watch a movie instead. Antonio went searching in the movie cabinets and found his favourite movie' The Legend Of Zorro' and decided that everyone should watch it. As the movie started everyone was already sitting on the couches, or some on the floor. Soreina was sitting next to the right of Romano, who looked like he didn't want to watch the movie.
"Have you watched this movie before?" she asked.
"Yes... Antonia always bugs me to watch this every night of the week..." Romano replied.
"Oh... then he must really like this movie a lot then..."
Half an hour, almost at the end of the movie, it was 11:00. Some of the nations were quite sleepy, but they went to the fridge to get some coke to keep them awake, especially Alfred who wanted to see this action movie or, just to drink coke. Romano however, could stay awake and Arthur refused to drink unhealthy soft drinks.
Romano was watching the scene in the movie where the girl discovered her true, long lost father. Just then he felt something soft on his shoulder and the smell of jasmine shampoo. He turned to his right to see Soreina leaning her head on his right shoulder, asleep. Immediately, Romano's heart started beating a little faster than usual and he could feel the room getting hotter.
"So...cute..." He thought as he looked down at the sleeping girl who curled up next to him. Soreina started to move in her sleep, which made Romano freeze on the spot to not wake her up. Just as she moved her hand moved as well and accidentally touch the curl on Romano's hair. At this action, Romano instantly blushed and he now felt the room even hotter than it was before.
Just as he felt like he couldn't stop blushing, the loud music of the end credits burst out through the speakers, which jolted everyone awake.
"Whoa Dudes! It's late! I'm tired and going to bed!" Alfred exclaimed as he push through the door. Everyone started to head out for the door, just as Soreina woke up.
"Huh? Romano? Did I miss anything?" Soreina asked sleepily while looking up at him. Romano looked down into those beautiful, ocean-like turquoise eyes.
"She's...so...close..." He thought.
"Uh... the movie has finished and everyone has left..." he replied, trying to look away to hide his blush.
"Huh? What? Oh!" Soreina jolted awake and stood up to bring Romano out to the door.
"Well... goodnight..." She smiled sweetly at Romano, which always had the effect of making his heart flutter.
"Goodnight Soreina..." He waved as he was walking home.
Has Soreina walked down the corridor, she realised Kiku had already went to sleep.
"Well... it looks like I'll take a shower and... hit the pillows..." She said to herself. Before she went to the bathroom, she went to the living room to make sure a certain someone wasn't left in the living room forgotten. When she checked no one was there, she smiled to herself as she proceeded to walk to the bathroom.
