Hey ok well here's the next chapter! Instead of making one big chapter for this one I'm just gonna make scenes of different things that happens throughout the day, most of it just stuff about the pairings. All this stuff does happen, but I'm feeling too lazy to write in between stuff to connect all the paragraphs, so I'm doing this instead! I don't own Hetalia!
Scene:
"Mon cher…" France trailed off as he looked at the rather handsome guy in front of him. "Don't you mon cher me. " Rose snapped at him, still angry from the day before.
I'm with, uh…" Rose trailed off as she looked at the guy next to her. He grinned abnormally white teeth and stuck his hand out to France. "I'm Brazil." He said. France just glared at him. "Well, it iz nice to meet you, Brazil." He practically spat out the last word. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." With that he stalked off, steam practically coming out of his ears.
Rose sighed and turned to the guy next to her. "Thanks." Brazil grinned back at her. "Anything for a pretty lady." He winked. Rose looked up and sighed again. Brazil was cute, with dark brown hair, green eyes, freckles, lightly tanned skin, and yes, abnormally white teeth. Normally she would've flirted back with him-it was obvious he liked her from the way he agreed to help her without getting anything back. But…Rose didn't know. She just wasn't feeling it, which was a first. She wouldn't admit she still liked France-she never liked a guy for any period of time, and HE was a total jerk and perv. She should've listened to her friends when they'd warned her about him.
"So I'll see you around?" Brazil asked, looking hopeful. "Yeah…um yeah I'll call you when…I need…to?" Rose asked hesitantly, feeling like she was using Brazil to make France think she was over him. Gggrrr. Stupid Alice. Not that Rose WASN'T over him, she was, and she liked the way Alice thought, but couldn't she have thought of something…else? Something with more forethought and didn't make Rose charm some random dude she grabbed off the street into helping her?
Well, there wasn't a lot she could do about it now. Rose lifted a hand to wave at Brazil as he left. Then she went home, well America's home, and sobbed in her bed.
Scene:
Carrie, lying on her back on the ground, stared up at Japan with wide eyes. He was over her, a hand on each side of her head. They just stared at each other with wide eyes. Carrie and Japan had been having tea together when they both got up, and Japan tripped, which he seemed to do a lot around girls, if you remember when he fell on Alice in one of the first few chapters.
Japan had put his head down so that his long bangs touched Carrie's forehead. Then he froze wondering what he was doing, but didn't move.
Then Alice, who like America had a rep of bursting in randomly at the worst moments, burst into Japan's house. "Hey dude Carrie! Rose totally pulled it off France was totally pissed it was hilarious-" she stopped short when she saw the position the two were in. Carrie stared at Alice with wide eyes. Alice's face went into a mask of calm, then in two quick strides, she reached over to them and pulled Japan off and practically flung him into the wall. "You PERVERT! Trying to DESTROY Carrie's innocence! And I thought you were the one person I could actually TRUST my friends with! Look at innocent Carrie! You're PRESSURING HER INTO DOING SOMETHING SHE DOESN'T WANT TO!" Alice yelled at Japan, waving her arms around frantically. Alice always assumed the worst when it came to guys, for some reason.
Alice started to walk over to Japan, who had started to get up and was kneeling and cringing at the same time, with one hand up in defensive manner. Before Alice could yell at him more or possibly kick him, Carrie ran over and shielded him with her body. Japan stood up, but Carrie still kept her arms out and stayed in front of him, because she knew karate just as well as Alice, and knew Alice's moves better than Japan.
"Miss Alice! Japan just tripped! Nothing happened!" Carrie insisted, taking a step back and forcing Japan to step back with her. Alice glared at Japan, then said, "If you hurt her in any way…" Japan shook his head frantically. "I was not trying to pressure her Miss Alice! Please, I am being honest!" He had a blush on his cheeks, obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable with the subject. Alice glared at him, then grabbed Carrie's arm and marched out of the house with her. "Perv!" she yelled over her shoulder.
Scene:
Germany and Beverly were sprawled on the grass next to each other. At first it had been awkward-they both were awkward around the opposite gender-but after a bit they began chatting and felt more comfortable with each other. Of course they were mostly agreeing on how annoying Jade and Italy were, but hey they have to start somewhere don't they?
Speaking of Jade and Italy, they were the reason Germany and Beverly were there in the first place. It had took forever, but finally both got Beverly and Germany in the same place, then ran off, hoping they would stay together. When it became apparent they were going to, Jade and Italy wandered off together.
They were in town when Jade suddenly became aware of the handsome young man next to her. Ok, handsome was an understatement. He was amazing and nice and so friggin adorable that Jade wanted to tackle him…but she was guessing that wouldn't be a good idea.
Did Italy ever stay with one girl? Jade wasn't sure. It seemed more like he was a ladies man on the show, and now that she was here other ladies certainly liked him for they had swarmed him on more than one occasion. But still, Jade was getting ahead of herself like always. He probably liked all girls, never just one in general, sort of like France. Wasn't he related to France somehow? Or raised by him or something? Well, one thing was for sure, Jade was NOT gonna end up like Rose.
Almost as if to confirm her suspicions, a girl went up to Italy, grabbed his hand, and said, "Oh Italy! You just have to come with me on a date! Come on, let's go on a carriage ride." Italy put his other hand over hers. "Ve! I'd love to!"
Jade felt a little hurt-they were acting like she didn't even exist-but she knew Italy had a high level of innocence, and probably wasn't playing girl's like France but liked spending time with them. Still, didn't he know that doing this hurt her? She had exactly kept it a secret that she liked him. But she wasn't outright about it either, so maybe he just didn't understand. Then a man came up to her.
"Hello," he said, seeming amused by the way Italy suddenly snapped up his head to look at him. Then the man focused back in on Jade. She stared up at him with her big green eyes. "So, do you think you could spare an evening ?" He said, still seeming amused. Jade was a little taken back by his abruptness. "With you?" she said uncertainly. Italy had waves off hostility coming off him that anyone would be able to feel.
The man grinned at Italy once more before answering Jade's question. "Yes, with me." He smiled at her, and she suddenly realized how good-looking he was. And it wasn't like she had anything to do…
Before Jade could say anything though, Italy stepped between them, uncharistically harsh. "Ve, no. She cant go." He told the stranger. Jade was beginning to feel annoyed. Now he liked her?
"Who made you my keeper?" she asked the Italian, grabbing his shoulder and spinning him around. Italy looked shocked. "Jade, you cannot go with this man! You don't know anything about him!" he said urgently. "And do you know anything about the lady?" Jade snapped before she could stop herself.
Italy looked at her, shocked. Jade blushed, looked down, and stepped around him to the strange man. He smiled again, this time kindly, and held out his arm. It was an old-fashioned gesture, but a sweet one. Jade took his arm, and they walked off.
Once they were out of earshot, the man said, "So is he like that with all girls?" Jade stared up at him, confused. He gave a slight smile, but didn't seem to mean it too much. "I could tell you liked him. And it was kind of mean the way he excluded you with the random lady. I bet he didn't even know her."
Jade laughed. "Well, you're my hero. And you got all that right, which is impressive."
He smiled. "I'm used to that kind of stuff from Italians. Oh, I'm being rude. I'm Mexico."
"Why are you used to Italians doing that?"
Mexico looked slightly sad. "Italy has taken many of my lovers."
Jade tried to ignore the fact he had multiple lovers. "Um…well, any girl would be lucky to have you." She blushed as she said this, her cheeks going pink.
Mexico smiled kindly down at her. "That is nice of you. I try not to hold a grudge against Italy because it is not his fault, but you have seen the way he treats woman."
"He's nice to woman." Jade said indignantly, then realized she was defending Italy. Mexico didn't seem to notice.
"Yes, but he needs to make his boundaries more clear. He acts as though he is dating all of them at the same time, and they deserve more than that." He turned his warm brown eyes to Jade's eyes as he said this.
She blushed again. "I guess you're right…"
Scene:
"Um, where are we going?" Hailey asked as she and Britain walked along a path. He turned and half smiled at her, making her blush, then turn away and curse herself. She wasn't normally like this around guys.
"We're seeing some of my friends." He said mysteriously. Hailey followed him, curious. They finally came to a clearing. Britain cupped a hand to his mouth and called, "Oh flying mint bunny!"
What?
A green rabbit with wings came flying out of the woods. Hailey yelled out and tripped into Britain's arms, where, surprised, he caught and held her there. Hailey didn't notice.
"What…what the…friggin rabbit…omigod…what is that?" she finally gasped out. "It's flying mint bunny." Britain said, like it was obvious.
"Uuuhh…" Hailey nervously backed away as the rabbit came closer. It nuzzled her, and she flinched.
"Aw, it's okay Hailey. Flying mint bunny is nice." Britain said, cuddling the small rabbit. Hailey petted it cautiously, then laughed when it nuzzled her again. Hailey shyly lifted her green and amber eyes. "He's really sweet, Britain. You're really sweet. Thanks for introducing me."
"Oh, um…" Britain blushed, losing his train of thought for a second. "Yes, yes, of course."
Before they could say anything else, Alice crashed through, still hauling Carrie around. "Dude, Hailey! Japans a total perv, man! He tried to…oh hey Britain." Alice said, not wanting to discuss this in front of the nation.
"Um, yes, hello." Britain said, sounding a bit flustered. "Um. How did you find us?"
Alice looked bemused. "Hum. I don't know. It could be possibly because you two were squealing like second grade girls about flying mint bunny."
Both Hailey and Britain blushed, then Hailey took flying mint bunny in her hands and held her out to Alice. "He's really nice Alice. Come on, pet him."
To Alice it looked a whole lot like empty air in Hailey's hands. "Riigghtt, Britain's and you're brain obviously runs on the same spectrum. Well, come on, emergency meeting."
Hailey gave her a look, like sometimes I don't get you. "About what?"
Alice coughed. "About Carrie…and Japan…" Hailey gave her a blank look.
"You know…it has to do with two people…"
Blank stare
"Oh come on, I am so not talking about this in front of Britain!"
"What not in front of me?" "I don't know. Just tell us Alice!"
"Um…ok…it has to do with 'The talk'"
Hailey gasped. "You mean The TALK the talk?!" Alice gave her an impatient look. "What kind of other talk is there, Hailey? Yes, that kind of talk!"
Hailey looked at Carrie wide eyed. "Oooooo," she said, "you've been naughty…"
Carrie, who was trying in vain to detach Alice's hand from her wrist, shouted, "Me…and…Mr…Japan…did…not…do…anything!" She said through gritted teeth as she tried to wrench her wrist away.
"Um, may I ask, what is The talk?" Britain asked, confused about this entire conversation.
All the girl's froze. "It's nothing you need to know about." Hailey insisted with bright pink cheeks, while at the same time Alice snapped, "No you may not ask! Go away; we're trying to have a girl-to-girl conversation!"
"Do we have to talk about this now?" Hailey asked in a pleading voice, glancing at Britain, who looked utterly confused. "Yes, now, come on, I'm getting everybody!" Alice rushed out of the clearing, hauling Carrie behind her.
Hailey sighed. "Sorry…" she said, as she walked out of the clearing. Britain smiled and waved to her, still confused.
Scene:
"No way, you like sunflowers?" Emma asked. Russia nodded. "Da, their my favorite flower."
"Mine too." Emma looked surprised she had something in common with Russia, even though she had been finding lately she had a lot of things in common with Russia.
"Would you like to see my field?" Russia broke her train of thoughts. "Oh, um…" Emma blushed, then immediately froze. She didn't even know she had the ability to blush. Russia was waiting patiently. "Um…sure." She stuttered out, wondering what was wrong with her. Russia didn't seem to notice.
"Great! Come on then." He said, gesturing for her to follow him.
When they arrived, Emma gasped. "It's…beautiful." She said softly, for once not sounding tough. Russia gazed at her gently, before replying in the same soft tone. "Yes."
Emma glanced at him in surprise, because he was staring at her, and he held her eyes a moment longer before gazing out into the field of sunflowers. "I try to take good care of it, although it is hard to do it, because there is so many to attend to." Emma listened to his soft voice and Russian accent, and before she knew what she was saying…
"I'll help you." Wait, did she seriously just say that. She had to take it back…
"Really?" Russia looked so excited and surprised, she couldn't say no. "Yea, sure." She sighed softly, wondering why she was bothering doing all this stuff when she never normally offered to help.
Russia bent down and picked a sunflower out of the field. He held it to her, smiling. "For you." He said.
"Oh, that's so…nice. Thank you, Russia." Emma said, surprised. She smelled it gently while Russia smiled at her, when Alice came, still holding on to Carrie, with Hailey close behind.
"Yo…Emma…" she panted, out of breath. "Sorry…to interrupt your sunflower bonding…but we need a group meeting…a girl group meeting." She added sternly, looking at Russia, who just continued smiling.
"Okay." Emma said simply, not nearly as hard to pry from Russia's side as Hailey from Britain's.
"See you tomorrow!" Russia said cheerfully, waving as they walked away. "What's tomorrow?" Hailey asked Emma curiously.
Emma tightened her grip on the sunflower, which she was still holding. "Oh nothing…nothing."
Scene:
Maggie and China were painting in a room of his. "So, you paint a lot? That's awesome, me too." She said, smiling at him.
He smiled back. "Yes, today I am making abstract. I have never made such a thing before, but I have heard it represents part's of your soul; what you desire, what kind of person you are…"
Maggie laughed. "That's awesome." She wrinkled her nose. "Now if you'd let me see it…"
But China shook his head. "No, I cannot let you see it, aru. Not until I am done."
"Fine, theenn…" Maggie smiled slyly at him as she moved her canvas away from his sight. "I'm not letting you see mine."
They both worked on their abstract art pieces. China's piece had lot's of red and green in it (ahem ahem; what you desire; Maggie's hair and eye color…gosh wonder how that clicks together.)
Maggie work had lot of very dark, almost black, brown and a hazely green color (china's hair and eye color) She stepped back and frowned. "My painting looks more like a bunch a swirls than anything else."
China smiled at her. He had a very cute smile, Maggie was noticing. "Mine does too, aru." They just stared at each other for a moment, then both jumped when Alice burst through the doors.
Alice was still dragging poor Carrie by the wrist. Emma and Hailey followed in.
"Ok, I'll explain it to you on the way, I did that with Emma, but can we please go? I think I'm taking off Carrie's wrist." Alice said pleadingly.
"Um." Was all Maggie got out, wishing Alice hadn't interrupted her and China.
"How did you know where we were, aru?" China asked.
"The same way I know with all my friends. They won't shut up about their day plans if it involves their crush."
This caused a round of yelling, and it took a couple of minutes for the girl's to settle down. "Well, you won't shut up about America." Hailey grumbled.
"Yes, and he is an idiot!" Maggie said, with China nodding in agreement.
"I do not!" Alice said, standing up straight to make herself seem bigger than Hailey, which was pointless because she was tiny, and Hailey was pretty freakin tall compared to her.
"Do too."
"I do not!"
"Too."
"Not!"
"Too."
"NOT!"
"OK, I'll go with you if you shut up!" Maggie shouted over Hailey and Alice's squabbling. "You guys are like an old married couple, I swear."
While Alice and Hailey made disgusted faces at that thought, Maggie turned to China. "Sorry, I guess I better go. This was really fun though."
China smiled, though he looked sad. "Yes. Perhaps we can do this again tomorrow?" Maggie smiled at him, then hugged him. China looked shocked, then gently hugged her back. They stayed like that for a long moment, until Emma said, "Um, not to interrupt the love fest or anything, but can we go?"
China and Maggie back away from each other, blushing. "Right. Yea. Um, bye." Maggie said, still pink in the face, and she waved to China, then walked with her friends.
Scene:
"Woa, Jade, who's the guy?" Alice said as they ran up to Jade, who was talking and laughing with some handsome tan dude.
"Oh, hey guys, this is Mexico." Jade said, gesturing to the guy next to her. They were still looped arms as they walked downtown.
"Hey." Alice said, smiling and batting her long eyelashes, until Hailey said, "Oh, don't pretend you're not totally into America." Alice shot her a death look.
"Anyway, emergency meeting." Alice informed Jade, who blinked. "About what?"
Maggie came up. "Carrie," she said, patting the small girl who was still trapped by Alice, "has been very naughty lately. With Japan."
Jade gasped. "Oooooo, Carriee. I didn't know you were like that!" Carrie struggled. "I am telling you! Nothing happened! Why won't you guys believe me?"
"I know what I saw." Alice said, waving her away. "So Jade." She said, focusing back on her friend in a way that made her think uh-oh.
"Why aren't you with Italy?"
"Um…why would I be?"
"You guys totally had a thing going!"
"N-no we didn't!"
"Um, yes, you did." That was Hailey.
"We did not!"
"Oh come on, we could all feel it." And that was Emma.
"How can you feel if we had a thing going?"
"Um, because, we could all feel the tension in the air between you guys! We aren't stupid, we were waiting for you guys to give it up, and just go out already." And that was Maggie.
Jade blushed. "Look, Italy's a-a womanizer. Whatever you felt between us, if you felt anything, you'd probably feel with any other girl."
"Uh-uh. This was special. I KNOW it." Alice insisted.
"Well, I, um, I like Mexico!" Jade sounded like she was trying to convince her self as much as them.
"Oh who wouldn't like Mexico? He's hot and tan. But Italy was super adorable, so you should try with him. You guys are like, meant to be." Alice insisted.
Jade sighed, weary. "If I go with you, will you stop talking about this?"
"Yea." Alice
"I wanted to stop talking about this two minutes ago." Emma
"Meh, probably not." Hailey
"Sure." Maggie
"Can you just let me go Alice? I can't feel my arm." And that was Carrie
"Tough luck." And there's Alice
Jade sighed. Well, I better go. This is important." She said to Mexico, glancing at Carrie. She kissed him on the cheek, then raced off with the other girl's.
They found Beverly and Germany curled up next to each other, asleep. Germany had his arms around Beverly, and she was curled up into his chest.
"Well, well, well…" came the voice of Alice above them, waking them up, "what do we have here?"
When they realized their position, they immediately jumped backed and turned red, stammering awkwardly. Alice rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna save ya some time here and tell you just to come with us." She said, grabbing Beverly up with her free hand and hauling her up, then pulling her along as the group walked away.
Scene:
Rose was walking to clear her head, when all her friends passed by. "Come on, Rose, this is important!" Jade shouted as they raced to America's house to meet in his backyard. Why was Alice dragging Carrie like a sack of potatoes?
Rose shook her head and started to follow them, but heard a voice behind her that stopped her cold. "Mon cher."
Rose took a long and shuddery breath to get herself together, then turned to glare at the French man. "What?" she said sharply.
France looked sad and confused. "Why are you zo angry at me?" he asked quietly. Rose was taken aback for a moment, then said, trying to tone down her voice to prove she had never been affected by him.
"I told you not to call me that. I'm with Brazil." And she was for real now. He had asked her out on a proper date, and Rose, thinking it might help her get over France, accepted. And just like that, they were together.
France stepped forward, grabbing both her arms. "You should not go out with him!" he said urgently.
Rose jerked her arms, but France wouldn't let go. "Why not? And let go!"
"He will not treat you right!" France said, ignoring her demand to let her go. Rose growled, still trying to jerk away from him, but he wouldn't let go of her wrist, and had pulled her too close to him without him realizing it.
"He treats me fine! Better than some people actually!" Rose bit her lip, realizing she had let too much slip out. She put her head down.
"Who did not treat you right?" France asked softly. Did he still not know? He must've known he had hurt Rose. Didn't Alice tell him? Perhaps he wanted Rose to say it out loud.
Rose bit her lip harder, feeling tears spring in her eyes. She kept her head down, not wanting France to see them. "Why do you care?"
"I care about you, mon cher. Of courze I care about you. Do you not know that?" his voice was so soft and kind Rose felt a sob building in her chest.
"No, you don't!" she said angrily, glaring up at him. He could see tears in her eyes though. France looked shocked.
"But I do…"he was cut off by her.
"You don't! If you did, you wouldn't have just left me standing out there, left me to walk home, while you took some woman you don't even know home with you!"
He stared at her with wide blue eyes. Rose looked back up at him with blue-green eyes, like an ocean.
They stood like that for a long, long moment, staring at each other eyes.
Then they both kissed each other.
France moved his hands from gripping her wrist to around her shoulders, as she put her hands on his chest as they passionately kissed. Rose kissed him hard, her head tilted to the side, something she had wanted to do from when they had first met, perhaps more than two months ago. (yes they have been in hetalia that long.) France had also wanted to kiss her for a while, and he tightened around her shoulders and kissed her back just as hard, with no intention of letting her go.
He had no choice though, as after several long moments, Rose gasped and backed away quickly, realizing what had happened. "Oh-oh my god…" and she fled quickly, leaving France, who was calling, "Rose!" in a heartbroken voice, behind her.
Ten pages. I used ten pages to write this! Sheesh. Well, thanks to anyone who reviewed, and I'll try to update faster next time. Please review!
