Britain woke up earlier than Tina the next morning. This was a rare occasion because he was not a morning person. He just needed some time to think.

He thought about his first date with Tina:

He had had to buy lunch for her in order to make it up to her for making her late to class that day.

"Hey Alfred!" Tina called, waving and walking towards him.

Britain whipped his head from side to side.

"Alfred!" Tina called again. She ran towards him. "Hey Alfred how are you doing?"

"Oh, um, are you talking to me?" Britain asked.

Tina nodded. "That's the name you told me.

Britain blushed. "Oh, terribly sorry. I must have made a mistake, Alfred is my brother, my name is Arthur."

Tina gave him a strange look. "Okay...so you have to get me whatever I want."

Britain nodded.

"Let's go to Escargot." Tina said.

"Um isn't that a French restaurant?" Britain said with irritation.

"Yeah, what's wrong with French food?"

"Cause France is a disgusting perverted old man!" Britain shrieked.

Tina stared at him. "What the hell are you talking about? You're not making any sense now!"

"Well, the French are just plain rude, vile, and simply inappropriate!"

"Hey, I have an aunt who's French!"

"Well, I'm sorry that you have such a misfortune in your family!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I can't tell you!"

"Fine. Then we're through! To think that I actually thought you were a sweet guy with manners!"

A crowd was already starting to form around them.

Britain grabbed Tina's hand and dragged her into an alley.

"What the fu-" Britain clamped his sweaty hand over Tina's mouth.

"Shhh!" He had whispered. He took his hand off Tina's mouth. "Don't make a scene!"

Tina glared at him, her brown eyes reminded him of daggers just waiting to strike.

"Well, what is it? And just as I was actually starting to like you!" She whisper-screamed.

Britain looked at the ground. "If I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

Tina rolled her eyes. "Try me."

Britain shook his head. "I can't."

"I knew it! You're just some snotty British bastard who is racist to everyone! So, how long were you planning to pretend to like me until you start making fun of me because I'm Chinese? Huh? I'm leaving!" Tina started to walk away when he said something.

"If I tell you, will you give me a second chance?" Britain whispered. He couldn't believe it, him, the strongest nation is the world (in his opinion at least), surrendering to a 18-year-old girl. He was such a wimp. "I'm not just British, I'm the country, England, yet my colleagues know me better as Britain." He closed his eyes tight, waiting for the laughter.

"It all makes sense now." Tina said.

Britain opened his eyes. "What does?"

"Everything. How you hate France, how your name is Arthur, which is like a really old person name and totally British, your anger issues, how you seem to have trouble remembering your own name because it's not the one you usually go by. I believe you and I won't tell anyone."

Britain stared at her. "Astounding! Finally, someone believes me!"

Ever since then, the two had been inseparable. Even when his fellow nations mocked him for marrying a human, never the less a Chinese-American girl with French relatives, he still insisted on spending the rest of his life with her.

Tina stirred next to him. "My friend Rachel is coming over next week." She said as she walked to the bathroom. "She's quite obnoxious so you two will probably get along well. Oh, I'm still mad at you so don't think you're off the hook." Tina shut the bathroom door with a resounding slam.

Britain stared at the closed door and thought to himself, "Well it can't get any worse."

he didn't know how wrong he was.

Hey guys, sorry about the long delay, I was going through a lot and didn't have a lot of time to write. I had gotten some bad reviews in messages from people that had gotten me discouraged and questioning if I should even try to finish the story. But thanks to positive reviewers and supporters like Kiko33 and people who gave me constructive criticism like , I was able to keep going.

Thank you all for supporting me and taking the time to read my story and as foreshadowed, the climax is near and like I promised you all, there will be a character named Anderson and the nation will be...Sealand!

Remember to review. Also I have a Beta now so I can help you with your stories. Bye!
