*Maria's POV*
"And I think we should-" I stopped speaking when I turned to a Brit, asleep on the kitchen table. Norway and Romania walked in. "Hey, uh, what happened to Britain?" I asked pointing to said nation. "He's just tired." Romania replied, grabbing a cup from the cabinet. "He couldn't go to sleep last night because Romania here kept shouting in his sleep 'Check the kitty food alarm'..." Norway elaborated. We all turned to look at Romania weirdly. "What?" Romania called. "I don't have a cat." I said. "Pfft! I know that!" Romania rolled his eyes and drank his milk. Norway drank his coffee in silence, poking Britain's head endlessly.
"What should we do when my family comes back?" I asked, worried. I kept pacing around the room. "Calm down, Maria, you look like Lithuania." Britain said. "I also play Lithuania in my group(1)." I told him, giggling at the image in my head of a chibi Lithuania. "We can continue living in the attic?" Norway offered. "I don't think I can handle their reactions very well." I said. "Especially my father, he will kill you or me or all of us since he doesn't want me inviting boys over." I explained. "Let alone living with three of them!" I fell onto the couch. "Why don't we buy a house?" Britain asked. "Good one. But you'll need to get jobs." I reminded.
"Wait! Why would your dad kill us?! We didn't rape you!" Romania jumped up. "Well, one of us might but I don't think it'll be considered rape." Romania motioned to a ready-to-kill Norwegian. I shook my head at him. "I don't know, but, I need to go somewhere." I said, standing up and heading upstairs. "Where you going?" Norway asked once I was down. "Somewhere." I answered, giving him a slightly devious smile. Before I walked out the door, I turned back to Norway, "And don't think of going into Stalker Mode."
*Maria's POV*
I walked out and took the bus going to the town. I walked along the pavement fast as I neared the store I was looking for. I entered, a bell ringing throughout the small store. "What can I help you with?" A young lady asked from behind the counter. She was a petite brunette lady around her 20's. And she looked really nice.
"I'm looking for these items?" I held up a list to her with what Britain was looking for. After a few minutes, she rounded up all the items on the counter. "And could I just look around?" I asked, in hope I did not bother her. "Go ahead." She smiled, not those fake smiles but a real one. I guess not a lot of people go in here, but it's really interesting.
I looked around at all the abnormal collections. And suddenly, without thinking it over, I turned and asked, "Do you sell any spell books?" The lady thought for a moment, looking me over and replied, "Yes, let me go get them." I nodded as she entered a storage room. 'What am I thinking?'
The lady came back and handed me 3 books. "I think these will suit your personality." She smiled at me thoughtfully. I examined the first one. It was a deep purple that had a few wrinkles on the cover. I skimmed through it and I pretty much liked it. I examined the second one, it was green and had a rune on it. I skimmed again and liked it also. Then, the third one was black that had a hand with an eye. I skimmed through it and liked it, again. "I don't know which to choose." I mumbled.
"The purple has seals, protection, and some fun experiments in it. The green is mostly about potion making. And the black book is for defense. But I think your personality would suit the purple." She explained. She did have a good point. I handed her the purple as I glanced around seeing if I missed anything. After I purchased the items, she handed me a necklace. It was a red heart and the chain was a black string. "I think this might help with some stuff." The lady winked in a secretive way before I left the store.
On the bus, I looked over the things I bought. I put the necklace on myself and what do you know, 'It matches my pink dress!' I squealed happily inside. 'What am I thinking?! I'm not that girly!' I mentally punched myself. "I'm back!" I announced, closing the front door behind me. "Britain! I have the things that you need." I said, handing him the bag. He peered in the bag and looked at me surprised. "Where did you get these?" I smiled. "At a store in town."
"They sell these kind of things?"
"Yup! I found out when I came here, but I never had the chance to go in there."
"Well thank you, Maria." Britain smiled as he ran off to the basement.
I ran upstairs into my room to put the book away under my pillow. Before I went downstairs, I looked at myself in the mirror. I observed the necklace as I spun around in my dress. When I went downstairs into the living room, the whole trio was there. "Hey! Where'd you get the necklace?" Romania asked, eying it. "Somewhere." I kind of didn't want them to know I took an interest in magic to the point of wearing one and performing them. It's just my self-conscious speaking.
(1) I play Norway, America, Lithuania, 2P!England, and Netherlands(I just like his hair and I can do that to my bangs when we're derping around :P )
I didn't want to end it here but I have to. I'm in a hurry, it's almost time for my parents to call me down to eat dinner :(
