Sup dudes I'm Angel! ...Just wanted a change for once. I should try different countries don't you think?
Britt: What about me? I'm your home country!
Angel: I'm only half English.
America: You're a halfer?
Angel: Yes, yes I am... I feel like Tamaki Suoh. Anyway reviews!
Valkyrie99- Update is here! Don't be shy to leave any customer or cosplay suggestions!
Neelh- Oh thank god I'm not the only one! I feel so guilty when I hop fandoms...
RavisLatvia- Sounds like a good idea! Judging from your other reviews, I can see that you like Case Closed so I'll keep that in mind! Any customer ideas? Though from the PenName I can see that you like Latvia! ^^
escritoria- They are very cute! It's like GerIta: canon, cute and Yaoilicious! Definitely, I can't wait to write about all the date ideas that I have... Especially the (spoiler alert!) sleepover! More like there's no way America can resist England! USUK FTW!
Oceanfur- Yeah it rhymes. You have no idea how much I had to edit that chapter to avoid that rhyme. It sounds silly when it rhymes so I wasn't satisfied. Oh trust me, Alfred will be coming in to woo her a lot more from now on.
MDWOLFGIRL- Britt, whether man or woman, is so totally a tsundere! That's China for you! Don't worry, someone will find out eventually. Though from the looks of your review, I'm sorry but you aren't that close to finding out the first person's identity.
XXxxNaRu-ChAnxxXX- His timing is like totally awesome for realz! Sorry I'm being America a lot today...
Today's cosplay should be familiar to most of you. After all, it was suggested by Neelh, Oceanfur and IHeartGiripan! I wonder what it is... Who's that cosplay? It's- Won't tell you. (If you didn't understand that, the line I just said was a reference to the cosplay)
Tanoshimu!
Lili handed Britt and Eliza their cosplays for the day. It was going to be something revealing of course, but Britt didn't care about that. After all, there was no point in complaining so she would just have to power through with her back straight, shoulders back and a stiff upper lip, just like she always did.
Her outfit for today consisted of a white dress that seemed to naturally spike out, white gloves and green tights. The dress had no straps or sleeved, it just clung to the top half of her body. Her gloves were long and seemed to bulk up, giving the impression of slightly chunky lower arms.
Eliza had tied her hair up and added pink accessories around the hair ties but had let Britt's fringe fall forward, covering her one eye. Britt looked a lot better than usual and Kiku thought so too, after all today's cosplay was sure to attract some customers. The theme was a pretty popular game and anime in Kiku's country after all.
Angie wore a ruffled icy blue dress and ears matching the same shade of blue. Her hair was done into the same loose pigtails that she always wore but today she was minus the ribbons. Instead she used dark blue hair bands to match her dark blue boots. Out of her dress hung an icy blue tail with a dark blue tip, similar to the dark blue on her boots and the icy blue on her dress.
Eliza was wearing fluffy beige boots and a brown dress. She wore brown gloves that were beige and fluffy at the ends and in her hair she had attached two large brown bunny ears that ended just above her boots in the same beige and fluffy way.
Lili wore a simple yellow dress with a black collar. The dress came to just above her knees and the ruffled sleeves hung just a few inches above her elbows. Her yellow boots and gloves looked like paws and in her hair were two triangular ears which were yellow with a black rim. Her tail was small, black and pointed and overall she had a very cutesy look.
"You really look nice today Britt." Antonio complimented.
"Thanks, Antonio." She replied.
"Now go out there and show 'em how good you are!" He cheered.
"Yeah!" She grinned.
Then she went out into the serving area. Antonio really had been very supportive of her, especially since the time that she had almost quit the café. Britt never would have had any idea of how nice he was had she stayed as a man. Really, she sort of liked Antonio when he wasn't sending ships her way or floating in the water after she'd 'annihilated' him.
The serving area looked very bare. It was just Angie cleaning up in her very cute cosplay. Then again, it was only the start of the day so there was still a lot more to come.
But after a second glance, Britt realised that the café wasn't so empty after all. In fact it was the opposite. There was a customer at one of the tables, hunched over and seemingly occupied with something... It kind of looked like they were... Drawing?
Drawing... Who could that be? Best guess would be Italy but I doubt that he's ever been up this early. There's a first time for everything I suppose but I'm pretty certain that it isn't Italy. Who else could it be though?
Deciding that just thinking about it would do her no good she approached the customer and got down on her one knee to perform the usual greeting.
"Welcome home master." She whispered sweetly.
The customer flinched, looking at Britt with wide eyes. Realising it was only a seemingly harmless girl, the customer returned to their normal calm state. Now that Britt had seen them look up, the customer could now be identified as America.
She stood up, trying to get a better view on what America was so busy with.
"Err... What are you doing?" She asked, and then she quickly added: "Master?" So that she wasn't breaking character.
From where Britt was standing, it looked like America had grabbed a nearby bottle of 'sugar' and had poured it onto the table. Then he had proceeded to draw in his 'sugar' canvas using his finger as a paintbrush or pencil. But what had he been drawing? Britt peered over to see that it was-
Then America scooped up the 'sugar' and quickly shoved it all into his mouth.
"Nothing." He said quickly, bits of 'sugar' spitting out of his mouth.
The Union Jack. It looked like he was drawing my flag! But why? That's an odd thing to start drawing don't you think? True my flag does look pretty impressive with the amounts of crosses, lines and colours but that still doesn't change the fact that it isn't the sort of thing one would usually draw.
"You know that isn't sugar right? It's salt." Britt asked.
America's eyes widened and he quickly began spitting all of the sugar out and wiping his tongue.
"Blergh!" He spat. "...Yeah I knew that... At least now I do."
He looked up at her with a happy beam on his face. She'd seen this smile on many occasions before as a man. In her male opinion, he'd always dismissed this smile as a big, stupid, goofy grin that reflected the immense amount of stupidity that he possessed. However, in her female opinion, he actually looked...Sort of cute... But only sort of! She even let out a small giggle which she couldn't hold back.
"So what were you drawing?" She asked.
"Oh nothin'. Just a flag of a... Guess we weren't exactly friends so let's just call it an acquaintance." America explained.
"Oh? Why weren't you friends?" She asked, faking curiosity.
"Well he didn't trust me enough to tell me where he was goin' and we always fought so we weren't all that close." America shrugged his shoulders.
"So who is this man? If he's not a friend or an enemy then who is he?"
"Oh he's a lot of things."
"How so?"
"Well you see he was a spying, vampire, wizard, angel, police enforcing, absolutely invincible, British pirate gentleman."
"Oka- wait what? Pirate gentleman? That doesn't sound like it would work."
Britt had never heard it that way before, so she never really realised the odd contradiction.
"Well it did, he made it work. Guess that's what made him great."
"Right."
Britt was trying her very hardest not to blush. Fortunately America didn't notice her struggle and continued to talk.
"So what's your name? I've... Run into you a coupla times but I never caught your name."
"It's Brittany."
"Brittany?"
"Oh you can call me Britt for short."
"'Kay..."
It was obvious that America had been expecting a last name or maybe even a country name, but after all it wasn't like Britt could really tell him. That would really put her in a tricky situation.
"Well I'm America! But my real name's Alfred so just call me that!" He beamed.
"Sure. Beats calling everybody master and mistress." Britt smiled.
"Dude that must be pretty hard on ya Britt."
"Yeah I guess..."
Son of a tart! We've only known each other for a few minutes and already he's asked me to call him by his real name! He never asked me that during my time as a man. Obviously he'd rather trust a girl rather than his former big brother. Really I'm quite angry with myself.
"So what did you want Alfred?" She asked.
"Oh if it's fine by you then I'd like a burger."
"Burger. Got it."
Trust that stupid Yank to order a burger. Better go tell Kat...
Britt delivered the burger rather speedily, much to America's delight. As he pigged out on the burger (and the small plate of fries which Britt had kindly provided him with) he wore a look of happiness and content on his face that Britt recalled was only visible when she fed him. It was a certain, special kind of happiness for him.
"So!" America spat, mouth still full with food. "When is-?"
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" She snapped.
"Okay, okay!" America sighed. Then he swallowed. "When's your break?"
"In about 3 hours." Britt told him. "Why?"
"Well maybe, if ya want, we could-"
"Oh my." Britt gasped. "I'm sorry but I believe there's something I need to attend to. If you don't mind, may I be excused, master?"
Without waiting for a reply, Britt left the room leaving America lost for words and looking a little crestfallen.
"Dude..." America whispered. "Did that girl just reject the US of A?"
Phew. Dodged a bullet there! If I didn't know any better, I'd say America was just about to ask me out on a date! Thank heavens that I managed to pull that off politely. The plan went off without a-
"Britt!"
She turned a corner and bumped into Eliza. She looked quite cross and slightly annoyed as her hands were on her hips and her brows were directed downwards.
"Vhat ze heck vas zhat?" She demanded.
"I-I-" Britt began.
But Eliza wasn't finished. She carried on, ignoring Britt's attempts to concoct an explanation.
"You just hurt Mr America's feelings!" Eliza snapped.
"Well I-I... Yes..." Britt stuttered.
"Vhy? Vhy vould you do such a zing?"
"At the moment I'd just like to concentrate on my work. Dating is very complicated and I wouldn't want to risk damaging my work life."
"Hmm... But still, you could have just spared a little time for poor Mr America. Zhat vas really quvite hurtful."
"Okay yeah I'll remember that."
"I vill hold you to zhat."
"Don't worry. Next time I'll be nicer. I can guarantee it because you have the word of a..."
Britt struggled to think of a word. As a man, she would have said a gentleman but obviously she couldn't say that anymore.
"A lady?" Eliza asked.
"Yeah... The word of a lady. Now is there anything I can do to avoid serving America?"
"Hmmm... Ze toilet needs unclogging."
And with that, Eliza handed Britt a plunger and Britt set off for the toilets with her head hung and arms trailing down at her sides. Suddenly, a lunch date with America didn't sound that bad after all...
Ooh that's gotta hurt! Poor Britt... It's a shame that you're not a plumber... Or an Italian... Or maybe just Italy. I can't really make reference to the stuff I used to like without thinking of Hetalia.
TODAY'S COSPLAY:
Fandom: Pokemon (Hellz yeah! XD)
Britt- Kirlia
Lili- Pichu
Elizaveta- Lopunny
Angie- Glaceon
Pokemon FTW! I'm a huge Pokemon fan so it is sort of hard to pick which one is my favourite but out of them all I'd have to say Glaceon! It's not my favourite Pokemon though... Anyone want to have a guess at who my favourite Pokemon is? Today's cosplay was the ideas of the people mentioned at the start and the customer was my idea!
So review, send me a PM with suggestions or whatever and try and guess my favourite pokemon! I'll try and think of some sort of reward for those who can if you really want!
Sayonara minna-san!
~Neko
P.S Today in school I said Sayonara and my best friend said minna-san. It was embarrassing. Then my other friend tried to glomp me saying she was my fangirl but I told her I have no fangirls, just readers. She says I do. Do I have fangirls? Please tell me if you consider yourself to be one because I want to prove her wrong! Stable friendship FTW!
