beware Slight Prussia x England here, OOC for both ( a little or a lot)

"It is rare for Alice to give someone a second chance, let alone a third or a fourth chance to anyone" What Spain said stuck to Alfred's mind the whole time. 'what was France to England? And what is England to France?' he kept asking himself. He would toss and turn, Spain and Romano left and Alice was finally sound asleep. So for the next two hours, America stared at England, he looked at her, how her eyebrows were towards the middle of her head. He caressed her face 'Another nightmare' he thought. With that he hugged England and fell asleep.

America woke up at six in the morning. Honestly he only got about two hours and sleep and when he wrapped his arms around England's waist….or what should be England's waist, he found nothing. He quickly got and up and saw a pillow was in the place on where Alice should be. There was a sticky note on it, it read.

"America ( and yes it did hurt him that she addresses him like that on a sticky note),

You will probably wake up with me gone, don't worry, I'm just taking a small walk, Northern Ireland told me that if I have nightmares I should walk or do something 'peaceful', so please don't worry about me, you can call me though."

Alice sat on a park bench with a cup of coffee, in her hand. She looked straight toward the trees, trying to sort things through, she brought the hot cup of coffee to her mouth. She really didn't like the coffee, it was bitter and sweet. She held the cup with both her hands, settling it on her bag, which was sitting on her thighs. "just like your attitude" she continued. She lifted her head up and turned her head to see people jog down the little sidewalk. She sighed, looking down again she took out a pocket watch and looked at the time. 7:45. She wanted to hit her head, she left the house so early with nothing to do, and she only brought her bag for notes, and a book. She didn't feel like reading, after all the crying she did the previous night, her eyes were sore, and tired. She again took another sip of coffee, she really didn't like it, she wanted her tea. She drops her head back, she didn't like what she was wearing, it felt out of season for her. It was summer for crying out loud and she was wearing a ¾ sleeve that was tight around the arms. She was wearing jeans and black boots. " this is not what you wear to meetings" she muttered.

" you bet" a voice suddenly jumped in, she looked to her side jumped, nearly dropping her bag and nearly spilling coffee towards the said person. She looked at him in awe, she hasn't seen the man during the world meeting. But then again, he wasn't allowed, he just tagged along, like Peter (Sealand). " what? Am I too awesome for you to say 'hi' or atleast a 'good morning chap'?"

Alice closed her eyes and tried to collect herself. " no Gilbert [Prussia], you actually frightened me" she said, sitting up again, bag on her lap, coffee cup on top. Gilbert sat next to her, he leaned forward, towards the street, his hands intertwined with each other, his lower arm on his lap, propping him up. He looks straight into the street. Alice looked at the man, his hood was covering his head, but his white hair stood out in the day, the sun rays makes it hard to look at it. She looked at his dark navy blue jacket, with two white stripes running down the arms. She looked to where he was looking, which was just the plain old scenery she was looking at a moment ago. She began to relax, she brings the coffee cup up to her mouth as she took a small sip. At this Gilbert looked at her.

" I thought you didn't like coffee" he stated, watching her take a sip from the cup full of coffee. He watches her as she brought down the coffee, both of her hands wrapped around it and carefully placed it on top of her bag. 'she's as graceful as ever' he thought.

" I don't like coffee" she said as the coffee sat on the bag.

" then why are drinking it?"

" because it was the only thing I could find."

" I'm pretty sure some places here sells tea"

" you know I'm picky when it comes to tea"

" yeah"

"What are you doing here anyways Gilbert?"

" I could ask you the same question" he stated as he leaned back onto the bench.

" touché" she said as she brought the cup of coffee back up to take another sip.

" you know if Alfred sees you drinking coffee-"

" bloody hell" Gilbert turned his head to face her as she says the two words.

" what was that for?"

" I forgot something at his house, it's for the swimming party or whatever" at this she heard Gilbert take his phone out and started to dial a certain phone number. "Are you calling Al-"

" nope" Gilbert interrupted. " I'm texting West, I forgot about that swimming party". One of Alice's eyebrows twitched up, she looked at the Prussian man. " you're serious?"

" yes I'm serious" at this, Gilbert turned his body away form Alice, trying to cover his cellphone.

" you liar!" she said raising her voice. "You're texting Alfred aren't you? You're reminding him- give me that!" she said reaching for his phone. At this Gilbert jerked away, stretching his arms out away form Alice.

" Damnit woman, how would you know if I'm lying?"

" because you're a damn party animal you git! And you wouldn't forget a party, you would go even if you weren't invited!" she said, still reaching out to get his cell.

" AHA! I beat you! My awesome self just sent the message!" at this Alice just let her body fall, knowing that getting out of the swimming party was now impossible. Her upper body landed right on Gilbert's lap, her lower half was still in a sitting position, except her right leg wasn't touching the bench, her bag is now on the space between her and Gilbert, the coffee, still on the bench, no spill. Gilbert looks down to see that Alice's upper body was basically on his lap, he placed one hand over her ash blonde hair and began stroking it, combing it. As he comb her hair with his hands, Alice relaxed, letting her upper body lay on Prussia's lap, she closes her eyes and mutters "I hate you" to Gilbert. Gilbert in return, smiled, ( she didn't see it though) and just kept combing her hair " I'm too awesome for you that's why" he retorted. "shut up you twit" she said, as soon as she said that she heard an "Ahem" being coughed to get their attention. Both of them tore away where their eyes were gazing, they looked in front of them to see Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
