Canada was getting ready to leave for the next meeting the next morning when there was a knock at his door. Canada headed to the door a bit confused on who it could be he opened the door to see a panic-stricken Italy standing there. "Hide me!" he squeaked and rushed in closing the door behind him. He then ran and clinged to the shocked looking Canadian. Canada just stood there shocked for a couple of seconds before jumping into gear and wrapping his arms around the shivering panicked Italy. "Italy what happened are you okay?" Canada asked. "Germany woke up to go set up the meeting room early and I decided I'd just sleep in and go down later but when I came out of the room to go down, England was there! He started yelling at me and I got scared and ran and he started chasing me and it was just so scary!" Italy said clinging tighter on to Canada. Canada looked at him a bit confused. "Why would England yell at you?" he asked. "I don't know ve, I was too scared to pay attention." Italy said.
After a couple of minutes Italy calmed down and let his death grip on Canada go. "Ve I'm happy it was your room I knocked on!" Italy said smiling at him. Canada just smiled back at him a small blush on his face. "So it's getting pretty late we better start heading down." Canada said. Italy agreed and as soon as Canada grabbed Kuma they headed to the meeting. "Can I hold Kuma till we get to the meeting room?" Italy asked as they started walking to the elevator. "Sure!" Canada said handing his bear to him. Italy smiled and cooed at the bear who just blinked up at him. The rest of the way was filled with pleasant chat. Both Italy and Canada entering the meeting room with smiles on their faces.
Italy handed him back his bear and went running over to Germany giving Canada an enthusiastic wave goodbye. Canada just smiled and waved back and went to find a seat. He was soon pleasantly surprised when he saw Japan give him a wave and gestured him to come sit in the empty seat next to him. Canada quickly walked over and smiled at Japan as he sat down. "Good morning." he said. "Good morning." Japan said back a small smile on his face. "Would you please join me for dinner tonight at 7?" Japan asked. "I'd love too!" Canada said giving him a grin. Japan and Canada talked a few more minutes. Soon though the meeting was started and both of them turned their attentions to the meeting.
Canada all but ran out of the meeting room after he had said his goodbyes to Japan. The whole meeting,morning session, lunch and afternoon session he had felt the glares coming from America and for some reason England. He shivered as he quickly made his way to the elevator hoping he wouldn't run into either of him. As he was waiting Netherlands appeared beside him waiting for the elevator too.
Kuma looked up at the tall nation beside him and he got an idea. He reached over and pulled on the mans shirt. The man quickly looked down at him. "Who?" Kuma asked looking up at the tall man. Both Canada and the Netherlands looked down at the bear. Netherlands looking a bit shocked at the talking bear and Canada looking confused at his bears actions. "Um I'm Netherlands." Netherlands answered after a couple of seconds. "Who are you?" he asked. He looked up from the bear after he said that looking at the nation holding the bear. The nation looked so familiar but for some reason he couldn't think of who it was. "Kumajiro." Kuma answered, but Netherlands was no longer paying attention to him. His gaze was now on his owner trying to figure out who he was. Canada blushed a bit at the intense stare from Netherlands. "Thank you for the tulips again Netherlands." he said remembering he had wanted to thank the nation for the tulips him and his people had sent again this year. "They were beautiful." he added on giving him a smile. Netherlands eyes got real big and then guild washed across his face. The nation beside him was Canada he should have known that!
The elevator then arrived and they all got on Canada hitting his floors button and Netherlands hitting his. They stood there in an awkward silence for a couple of seconds. "Canada you like maple syrup right?" Netherlands asked. "Yep I love it!" Canada said with a smile and a laugh. Netherlands blushed a bit. "Well my sister Belgium usually makes waffles in the morning and we have maple syrup to put on them and since you like it would you like to come over for breakfast Saturday?" Netherlands asked. Wanting to make up a bit for forgetting the nation that had helped him a lot during World War Two. "I'd love too." Canada said. They exchanged phone numbers and couple seconds later Canada had reached his floor and got off. "Goodbye." Canada said to Netherlands with a smile. "Netherlands smiled back. "Goodbye Canada." he said as the elevator doors closed.
Canada walked back to his room with a large smile. "We're gonna have waffles Kuma, won't that be different?" he asked his pet. "Food?" Kuma asked. Canada just giggled at his pet. "It's with Belgium and Netherlands too! I'm so excited. I just hope they have real maple syrup." Canada said as he reached his room. Kuma just smiled in his arms happy he had erased his masters unease from the meeting and gotten him another new friend.
