A/N: hey guys~ I'm sorry for not updating, but this past school year was crazy busy and I've been busy this summer with classes and practicing for a skit my friends and are doing for a convention in August. I finally found some down time to get this put together.

A/N 2: ANYWAY! Since there were no responses on whether or not you guys wanted stories of some of the couples we have, I took it as an OK to post this. This is a story about two of the couples we have set in this universe. I'm sorry that it's not a story that includes all the states, but MJ and I are working on getting stories set up detailing how each of the states were born… how their parents met, and what went on between them… things like that.

A/N 2: That's all the rambling I have to say for now. I hope you enjoy this new story.

A Tale of Two Couples

It was a quiet day at the Jones homestead…. Which meant some kind of drama would start, something bad had happened, or was going to happen. This is why when Amelia smelled the scent of pasta cooking coming from the kitchen, she decided to move cautiously. When she entered the kitchen, she found Feliciana 'Fem!Italy' Vargas, standing at her stove, stirring pasta noodles vigorously. Amelia blinked twice, then said,

"Alright. You're in my kitchen, cooking. Why are you mad and who made you mad?"

Feliciana turned and looked at Amelia with a sour look on her face. "Kiku. He's been seeing another girl behind my back!" She exclaimed and turned to grab some seasoning and added it to the sauce she was cooking, and started stirring it.

"What?" was all Amelia could say. It didn't make sense that Japan would cheat on Feliciana… it was obvious the two loved each other very much, not mention it was VERY improper.

"You heard me. He's been seeing a girl behind my back! That bastardo even had the gall to say that he didn't know what I was talking about!" Feliciana, started stirring the sauce so much, that some splashed out of the pot and onto the stove.

"I… I see." Amelia said, still confused. At that point, Amelia's daughter, Mia 'California' Jones, walked into the kitchen to get a drink from the fridge, at the same time, Kiku 'Japan' Honda came out of seemingly nowhere and started speaking to Feliciana.

"I finarry found you…" he said looking at Feliciana.

Before she could reply, California smiled brightly and ran over to Japan. "Kiku!" she yelled, before hugging him.

Feliciana glared and turned back to her stirring.

"Prease… do not hug me Mia-san…" Japan said as he got out of California's hug.

"But… I thought…" California said with a pout, and watched Japan, who was looking at Feliciana, then realized what was going on. "Y-you have a girlfriend…?" Her eyes began to water a bit.

"Honey…" Amelia said moving towards California.

"Yes." Japan said, looking at California. "I am sorry I did not tell you, Mia-san."

"You should have! How could you lead her on? What? Am I not good enough for you?" Feliciana said glaring at Japan. Japan turned to her.

California ran out of the kitchen, crying but hid herself just outside the entrance to the kitchen because she wanted to know how it would end. As California ran out, Jonathan 'New Jersey' Jones walked in, oblivious to the tension in the air. He saw Feliciana, and immediately made a beeline for her.

"Hello, beautiful. What brings you to this place?" He said with his best smile. Amelia facepalmed at his statement and thought,

'Could this get any worse?'

Oh yes. It could get worse. And it will. But she doesn't know that right now.

Japan glared at him, and prepared himself to judo flip this new comer who thought he could take his Feliciana away.

"W-what?" Feliciana asked looking at New Jersey in confusion. She didn't know why this random guy was flirting with her, and in front of her boyfriend no less. Secretly, she hoped Japan would judo flip him or something to 'protect' her. She could take care of herself, of course, but she loved it when Japan went into Ninja mode.

"I asked what a beautiful girl like you was doing here." New Jersey repeated stepping closer to her.

"You do realize my boyfriend is standing right there, right?" Feliciana said pointing at Japan.

New Jersey looked at Japan, then back at Feliciana.

"Seriously?" He exclaimed. "Why does he always get the girls? It's because he's a ninja isn't it?"

Feliciana looked at New Jersey oddly. "Well… that is a plus…"

Japan pulled Feliciana away from the stove and towards him. "Fericiana. I am sorry for the misunderstanding with Mia-san. I love you."

"Amore…" Feliciana said looking at Japan.

After hearing Japan's declaration, California gasped loudly, letting everyone know she was still there. Amelia turned to see California standing in the doorway with tears in her eyes. At that point, things got worse. As another, very, unexpected visitor took that moment to show up.

"Japan! Your breasts are mine!" Yong Soo 'Korea' Im exclaimed as he came up behind Japan and groped his chest. Feliciana jumped back at the sudden yell, and Japan judo flipped Korea off of him and onto the ground.

"Ooowwww~!" Korea said sitting up and rubbing his head. "Japan is so mean…" Korea looked up and towards the doorway, and spotted California, his eyes drifted to her breasts. Then he jumped up and started towards her. "Breasts!" said and made grabby motions with his hands, before he could get there though, Amelia smacked him with one of the cookbooks Feliciana had brought with her.

"Owww!" Korea said rubbing his head again. "What is this? Pick on Korea day?" He said and pouted.

This all became too much for California, who was still upset over learning that Japan already had a girlfriend, she took off running down the hallway.

Korea was quick to follow. "Wait! Breasts! Come back!" He yelled following California.

"Oh no you don't, you pervert!" Amelia yelled as she took off after Korea.

New Jersey couldn't help but facepalm.

"Let us go back home, Fericiana." Japan said, looking at her.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Amore." She replied, with a smile. "Oh!, But what about the pasta? It's almost done…"

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it." New Jersey said as he moved to the stove.

"Oh. Grazie, mister." Feliciana said, smiling at him.

"I'm J.J., or Jonathan, if you prefer." He started to wink at her, but thought better of it when he saw Japan glaring at him.

"Let us go, Fericiana." Japan said gently as he turned to leave.

"Okay~!" Feliciana said as she skipped along behind Japan, then looped her arm around his and snuggled against him.

Japan's face turned bright red and he looked as if he was going to have a panic attack. "P-prease ret go, Fericiana…"

"Nope! You owe me this after everything that happened." She replied looking at him.

Japan sighed, knowing she was right, but it didn't change the fact that this was improper since they weren't married. So he simply held his peace. Then a thought occurred to him.

"Should we go get Yong Soo away from Mia-san?"

"Hmm… Amelia can handle him… buuuuuuut~ he's kinda sneaky… I say we go find him…"

Japan nodded and they both switched directions and began looking for Korea and California.

~With California, Korea, and Amelia~

California ducked into the library of the house and headed towards the back to a small secluded area, used for getting away from the insanity of the house and/or reading in a quiet place, and curled up on some of the cushions the states had all carried in there at some point, and let herself cry.

Korea wasn't far behind California and ducked into the library as well and paused looking around for her.

Amelia, on the other hand, was a bit behind both of them, and ran past the library, thinking California was headed to her room.

Korea walked further into the library and stopped again, when he heard crying. He followed the sound and found California. He went over and sat beside, looking curious but at the same time concerned. "Why are you crying, Pretty Lady?"

California looked up and jumped a little to find Korea so close to her and scooted away a bit.

"B-Because…" She said sniffling a little.

"Because why?" He asked tilting head, curious. "Pretty Ladies shouldn't cry…" His eyes drifted lower to rest on her breasts, California was too upset to notice.

"K-Kiku… he… I thought… I thought he and I were together…. I-I mean… sure he was hesitant and everything… b-but… I thought that was just because of his culture…" she said sniffling.

Korea blinked. "Japan? He's with the mean Pasta Lady that hits me all the time, because I grope Japan's breasts…"

"Well I know that now" She said a little sarcastically, then the rest of his sentence registered. "Japan is a man… he doesn't have breasts…"

"Yes he does! Right here." Korea said touching his chest. "Same as…" He said and groped California's breasts "…yours!" He said smiling brightly.

California squeaked in surprise and jumped back away from him holding her arms to her guard her chest and stared at him wide-eyed. "Y-you're not supposed to touch a woman's breasts!"

Korea whined at the loss of being able to touch her breasts. "But… I do it to my sisters and Japan, and Aniki all the time!" he said with a pout.

"W-well… that's your family… we're strangers…" California said.

"Oh." Korea said and moved closer to her. "Well… I'm Yong Soo, personification of South Korea, where everything originated from! What's your name, Pretty Lady?"

"Pretty Lady… I'm the personification of California… the Golden State…"

"Hey! I said the right name! haha! Well. Everything originated from me, so of course I knew." He said then looked at California grinning.

California couldn't help but laugh at how goofy he was.

"There! We're not strangers anymore! Now can I grope your breasts?"He asked her eagerly.

'He has a one track mind… but he's kind of cute…' California thought. Aloud she said, "No. That's something only boyfriends can do to their girlfriends…"

"So…" Korea started, trying to puzzle out what she was saying. "If I want to grope your breasts… we have to not be strangers… and we have to be… boyfriend and girlfriend…"

California nodded. Korea opened his mouth to reply, but was interrupted.

"Here you are!" Amelia exclaimed and rushed over to California and hugged her. "Mia, are you hurt? Did he try anything on you?" Amelia pulled back to look her over.

"Yong Soo. If you've done anything to her I wirr not hesitate to hurt you…" Japan said as he and Feliciana showed up as well. Feliciana couldn't help but smile and admire her boyfriend.

"No, máma. I'm fine. He was just talking to me… and trying to cheer me up…" California looked at Korea.

Amelia looked at her, not entirely convinced, but her daughter seemed okay enough. So she decided to let the matter go.

"Yeah! Crying didn't suit Pretty Lady… and Pretty Lady told me we couldn't be strangers if I wanted to touch her breasts, so we introduced ourselves and then she said…"

"She has a name you know, Yong Soo." Feliciana said with a glare a Korea. She hated it when people used names like that instead of finding out a person's real name and asking permission to call them a nickname.

"But… she said her name was Pretty Lady!" Korea said, looking at Feliciana, then looked at California.

California sighed a little, then smiled at him. "My name is actually Mia. But… I liked hearing you call me Pretty Lady… so I said that was my name…"

"Oooooohhhhh~" Korea said in understanding.

Japan shook his head at his brother. "Come on, Yong Soo. You haven't bothered China yet today, and I'm sure he misses you…"

Korea perked up. "Oh yeah! Aniki! I gotta go see him too!" He looked over at California, and smiled. "Bye, Pretty Lady! I'll see you again!" he got up and rushed out of the room.

California watched him go and sighed a little dreamily.

Amelia watched her daughter sighed. 'Great… she had to pick him as her new crush… I don't think either Antonio or Alfred will approve…'

Japan sighed and rubbed his temples. "He arways gives me a headache…"

"Aw… poor Amore…" Feliciana said. "How about I give you a massage when we get back to your place huh? I promise you'll enjoy it…"

Japan blushed at her tone. "Fericiana! That's improper!"

"What? All I said was that I'd give you a massage nothing more…" She said smirking as she took his hand. "Come on, Amore. Let's go home."

Japan sighed. 'I just can't win with her…' he thought. "Yes. Let us go." He looked over to California. "Mia-san…"

California looked away from the door to the library and at Japan. "Yes, Kiku?"

"I am trury, very sorry for not terring you… I just… could not figure out how to say it… and you were very energetic…"

California blushed. "N-no… it's alright. I was just assuming things and jumping to the wrong conclusion… it's a habit I get from Pápa…"

Amelia snorted, and stood up. "That ain't no lie…"

California giggled and stood up as well.

Japan bowed to both of them, then turned to Feliciana. "Let's go…" He said as he led her out of the library.

Feliciana just cuddled his arm and followed skipping a little.

"Thanks máma… I'm going to go to my room now… I'll see you at dinner…" California said and started walking towards her room, already daydreaming about a certain breast-obsessed country.

Amelia sighed and headed towards the hall closet to do some cleaning before dinner. 'It seems things are certainly going to get interesting around here from now on…' She thought.
