Onto 200 reviews…sweet. Maybe I can get forty reviews this chapter? (Please do.)

Another long A/N at the end. Sorry.

Liz's POV

The sun shined above the three of us as we walked down the sidewalk. When I say three, I mean Ludwig, Gil, and I. I had been spacey all morning, due to a jumbled mess of a brain. It had been like that since yesterday; ever since Gil and I almost kissed.

I had mix feelings for the event. One third of my mind was wishing Carmen hadn't come and we had the most passionate kiss in the history of kisses, the other third didn't think of Gil on that level, and the last third was still trying to process everything. So I wanted him to kiss me, but I didn't. It was just a bunch of bullcrap I didn't want to mess with. I mean, it's not right to date someone you've known for a little over two weeks, right? One third of my brain was agreeing, the other third was disagreeing, the last third was all like "derp, I don't give a shit." Or not processing anything helpful. Either one works.

I could tell Gil was in the same predicament. We hadn't had our little morning quarrel. It was a simple good morning and then we were quiet. Ludwig caught on quickly that he really shouldn't question anything and left us alone, so the house was abnormally quiet. He also stared at the ground and didn't say anything (which was slightly creepy).

So the walk to school was quiet, awkward, and slow. I think we all actually took a breath when we got to school. We caught sight of Toni and Francis almost immediately and made our way to them.

"Hey, did you guys see the Vargas twins on your way here?" Toni asked quickly. He seemed really eager.

"No," we all answered.

"Why?" I asked.

Toni gave us a pained smile. (You can tell it's pained because it didn't reach his eyes like it usually does.) "It's nothing, chica."

I gave him a worried look. "You sure?"

"Yeah, it's fine."

I glanced at Francis and he mouthed "Lovino".

"Ah," Gil said in understanding. "I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later. Unless he really hates you that much." Ludwig smacked the back of his head.

"Gee, thanks. I feel so much better," Toni said sarcastically.

"Whoa, where did that sarcasm come from?" I asked. I honestly didn't think he even knew what the word meant.

"I hang out with these two," Toni said as he pointed to Francis and Gil.

I nodded in understanding. "Fair enough."

"Hey Lizzie!"

I turned around to see Bella running up to us. She latched onto my arm (I guess as some weird hug) and nuzzled my shoulder. "You're mine this weekend, remember?"

"Oh, yeah." I completely forgot about our conversation. Don't tell Bella that. "Are you sure it's OK with your parents?"

"Meh, they don't care," Bella said.

"Hm, so Gil, you think you can handle a weekend without your 'liebe', as you'd say?" Francis asked.

Gil hissed. "Shut up. And you're German sucks balls."

"Maybe that's because I don't speak it, non?"

"Oh, go suck on someone dick, you pompous bastard."

I slapped my hand to my forehead. Do they ever shut up?

"This conversation sucks balls!" Bella exclaimed. "Shut. Up."

Everyone stared at her in awe.

She got fidgety. "S-stop staring at me, you bunch of creeps…"

"LOVIIIIIIII!" Antonio screamed in anguish. "WHERE ARE YOU?"

Gil patted his shoulder. "I'm sure he'll show up eventually. Why don't you go to P.E.? Maybe he has it with you."

Antonio instantly brightened up and ran for the gymnasium.

"Hm, speaking of getting to class, I gotta go," Bella said. "See ya next period, Liz."

"Bye," I said and Bella walked for Spanish.

Ludwig and Francis left soon after, leaving Gil and I to go to Biology. I looked at him and I saw his cheeks were tinted pink and he was avoiding my face.

"Pfft, so subtle," I muttered loud enough for him to hear.

"Well, I'm sorry! I'm completely confused right now," Gil exclaimed.

"You don't think I'm confused?" I asked.

"Liz," he looked me dead in the face. "What do you think of me as?"

It was my turn to avoid his gaze. "…You're my best friend. I'm not sure I'm ready to go further, though."

I glanced up at him to see a huge look of relief flood across his face. "Same here."

I grinned at him and he held out his arm for me. "Need an escort to Biology, milady?"

I curtseyed and took his arm. "Such a gentleman."

He winked at me and we walked to Biology just like that.

I sighed happily as the bell for lunch rang. When Gil, Bella and I arrived at lunch, we walked over to the table we had started going to when I got friendly with Gil. The first thing I noticed was that Antonio had his head on the table and his green eyes…they weren't as bright as they usually were. No, literally, instead of its original light green, it was just simple green.

"No sign of Lovino," Francis answered for us.

We all nodded.

"You can't let one guy get you down," Francis said to Toni. "There are plenty more cute Italians out there that don't curse every five words."

Toni simply turned his head to Francis and gave him a look that said "shut up".

Gil shook his head at Francis. "Don't bother; he's crazy about the kid."

"I picked that up when he wouldn't leave the peu d'italien alone, mon ami." Francis looked at Toni again. "Why can't you just tell him you like him and fuck him already?"

Toni shot up and glared at Francis. "Because Lovino isn't one of your flings, Francis. He's a human being with feelings. Very fragile feelings. He may not show it, but he gets upset so easily, especially when compared to his brother. So, no, I will not tell him my feelings and then fuck him like one of your toys. Cabrón Francés, come mierda!"

We all stared wide eyed at him.

"Antonio…" Bella said.

"I gotta go get some air," Antonio said quickly and snuck out of the cafeteria.

Wow, Antonio really did care for this Lovino kid, huh?

The rest of lunch was completely silent.

Antonio was really quiet the rest of the day. His eyes would always be wandering everywhere and anywhere to see if he could spot the young Italian. I felt really bad for him, to be in love with some who apparently didn't return the feelings.

…The yaoi fangirl side of me was going "shit, there goes my chance of live yaoi."

I tried not to listen to that part.

Last period was quick and easy. Just starting to sketch something for "future plans". In quotations because the art teacher will likely forget about the whole thing and just put in some movie to watch. I sometimes worry about her, being stuck in those fumes all day…

When the bell rang, everyone rushed out all hyper-like. The best thing about having Art last period was that—along with Spanish, if you had it—it was a time to calm down and let all the information you've been stuffing into your head die down a little and have some much-needed fun.

Gil, Bella, and I were one of the last to leave.

"Ten bucks she'll forget about the whole assignment," Bella said.

"Agreed," Gil said.

The good thing was that Bella was slightly more accepting of Gil. She didn't turn away in disgust anymore; she just sort of ignored him, which was a huge step for Bella.

We were walking calmly down the hallway when we heard something buzzing. I knew for sure it wasn't me so I looked at Bella and she shrugged. So we both looked at Gil who was digging in his pocket.

"Sorry," he muttered and pulled his phone out. "Hey, West…meet you at the soccer field?...Oh, that's awesome!...yeah, I'll go grab Antonio!...K, bye."

He smirked at us. "West is holding the Italian brothers captive. Gotta go find Antonio before he gets run over by a car." He started to run off. "Meet us at the soccer field!" he called over his shoulder and disappeared.

I shrugged and we both walked in the direction of the soccer field. We took off our backpacks and sat on the bleachers. I used mine as a pillow as I lied down. I looked at the sky. It wasn't very cloudy today, but there was a cold breeze in the air.

It was quiet for awhile before Bella spoke up. "Gil's coming with Francis and Antonio."

I turned my head to the notorious teens approaching. Antonio looked confused and still slightly depressed.

"Grabbed him just in time," Gil told me. "Some douche nearly killed him with his car."

My eyes widened. "You weren't kidding about him getting run over?"

"When it comes to watching over Antonio, I never kid," Gil said dead serious. "You don't know what kinda shit he can get himself into, especially when he's depressed."

"He's still depressed?" I asked. "Didn't you tell him?"

"Nope, I thought it would give it a better reunion if I didn't tell him," Gil said.

I smiled softly. "You really are just a big softy, aren't you?"

Gil blushed. "Sh-shut up. Is it wrong for a guy to do something nice for his best friend?"

"Nope, but it's completely adorable," I cooed.

Before Gil could come up with a comeback, I said, "Ooh, look. Antonio found a soccer ball."

We all looked at the soccer field to see Antonio bouncing the ball in the air with his feet.

"Antonio is a beast when it comes football," Gil said. "Er, I mean soccer."

I smiled again. "Ah, I don't mind using the correct name for the sport. Only America uses it anyway."

"Used to play for the rec league when his dad was alive," Gil said. "But when he passed away…"

"You never told me what happened to his dad," I said softly.

Gil sighed and lowered his voice. "He worked abroad, I guess. He went all over the place and some pretty amazing stories every time he came back. Francis, West, and I were there when they got a call that said his plane coming back crashed and there weren't any survivors. After that, Carmen and Antonio were never the same. The reason they're all hyper and cheerful all the time now is to hide the fact that they still haven't gotten over his death."

"Aw, that's so sad," Bella said.

"Don't say anything about it in front of 'Tonio," Francis said. "Even I know it's a very sensitive subject."

"So the rapist has a heart. How wonderful," Bella hissed.

"Are you always looking for a fight?" Francis shot back.

Bella huffed and turned from him. The sound of the soccer ball bouncing stopped and we all looked over at Antonio to see him completely frozen in place.

"Looks like Ludwig is here," Gil said and stood up to go get his brother. I followed behind him and looked at the group.

West had a small blush on his cheeks as Feliciano hung on his arm like he had the first time we had met. Lovino was following with his famous scowl and his arms crossed. He was muttering something. The one person I didn't recognize was a small Asian guy. He was walking next to Feliciano and his face was completely blank.

I looked back at Antonio. A huge grin spread across his face. And he started walking toward them and Lovino stopped walking to stare at him. Soon, Antonio had tackled the Italian with a loud, "LOVIIIIIII~!"

"Ack, tomato bastard, get off of me!" Lovino snarled.

"Lo siento, mi querido," Toni said quickly. "Estaba buscando en todas partes para ti! Te extrañe, Lovi. Casi me dan ganas de no dejarte ir otra vez~"

Lovino's face went bright red as he struggled even more. "I don't understand a fucking word you just said!"

"Oh, ha, I went off in Spanish didn't I?"

"Damn straight!"

"I just got so excited I forgot which language to speak in!"

"…Dumbass."

"Lovi, I really did miss you a lot…"

I couldn't make out what Lovino said next, but whatever it was made Antonio really happy and squeeze the Italian harder.

Lovino was eventually able to pull away from the Spaniard and walked away from him. Antonio was right on his tail again.

I jumped down and walked up to the Asian man. "Hi, my name is Elizabeta."

"E-Erizabeta? I'm sorry, I cannot pronounce the 'l'. My name is Kiku." He bowed to me. When he said "l" it came out like a jumbled mess of "r's".

Now which country that I love so much have people that had a hard time pronouncing "l"?

"Oh my god, you're Japanese, aren't you?" I said excitedly.

"H-hai…"

"Do you know what yaoi?" I asked.

"H-hai."

"Yay!" I cheered.

"Whoa, Liz, don't strain yourself," Gil joked from the bleachers.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Don't mind him. So do you like yaoi?"

"Yes," Kiku answered.

"Er, if you couldn't tell from before, I like it, too," I said with a huge smile.

Kiku took off his backpack and opened it and looked through it. "Here." He handed me a book.

"Huh?" I took the book and flipped through it and stopped at a picture of two guys making out. "Holy shi—is it fair to say I love you?"

"Oh, come on, you two just met! Hey, what are you reading?" Gil asked from above.

"Shut up, Gilbert!" I hissed and looked back to Kiku. "I think I see a blooming friendship in the future."

He nodded and I handed him back the manga.

"No, you can keep it until you finish it. I have the whole series so you can return it when you want the next one," he said.

"Wow, thanks," I said with a smile.

"Hey Liz, you gotta get up here! Lovino just challenged Antonio to a football match!" Bella said.

"Come on, this ought to be fun," I said and pulled Kiku along with me.

I sat behind Bella with Gil on my right, Kiku on my left, and Ludwig next to him with Francis next to Gil. Feliciano was still clinging to Ludwig. Bella leaned on my knees and relaxed.

She sighed in happiness. "This is going to be awesome."

My eyes were glued as soon as Antonio dropped the ball. Lovi kicked it to the side and started down the field. Antonio turned and sprinted after the Italian. Both had a speed that could rival a cheetah's as the stormed down the field. Antonio was making it to the inside of the field, which I knew was a good move, even if I had little knowledge on the game. Just as I had anticipated, Antonio cut Lovino off and took off down the other way.

The game continued like this for a while. They were matched in speed and skill, Toni a little more in the strength department while Lovi was better with his agility, being smaller than Toni. They pulled off moves that I had never seen before. One move was Toni bouncing the ball on his feet like he had before and then at the last second popping it over Lovino's head. Even if it was seemingly endless repetition, it was still amazing to watch. They raced down the field in a blur of colors and neither one of them looked even remotely tired yet. No goal had been scored yet.

"Whoever gets the first goal wins!" Gil finally screamed.

The two players barely acknowledged him and continued their battle.

I was starting to dose off when Bella's weight left my knees.

"Huh?" she said.

I looked at the field. Lovino had the ball and they were getting dangerously close to Toni's goal. I watched in amazement as Toni dropped to the ground to sweep him. Lovino seems to anticipate this as he stuck the ball between his feet and jumped into the air, completely avoiding Antonio's attack. I held my breath as Lovino touched the ground again and dribbled to the goal. Antonio only sat and watched him run to the goal. Lovino kicked it harder than needed into the top right corner and turned back to Antonio. We all got up and ran over.

"Ve~ Fratello, that was amazing!" Feliciano said and hugged his brother.

Lovino blushed like a tomato. "Get the fuck off of me!"

He shoved Feliciano and looked directly at Antonio. "And that's how we do it in Italia, bastardo." He gripped Feliciano's arm. "C'mon, we're leaving."

After the Italian brothers left, we all looked back at Antonio who was still frozen in place on the ground.

"Antonio…?" Gil poked him.

Slowly, a smirk spread across Antonio's face.

"I'm afraid to ask," Bella said.

His smirk only got larger.

"What happened, bro?" Gil asked.

Antonio looked up-his eyes now thier original bright green, but with an unusal mischievous glint to them-at Gil and winked. "I saw up his shirt."

Oh, Antonio. How I love you.

LOL, I was watching Wizards of Waverly Place with my sister. It's what got me out of my writer's block. Uncle Ernesto (hottiehottiehottie) came to visit and he had the awesomest Spanish accent ever. So I found myself in love with the actor (I must find out who he is. He's probably a singer or something) and every time he talked or they showed his face, my mind went "…" And every time he said a joke I laughed like a maniac, even if it wasn't that funny. Here is an example of my obsession with Spain/Spanish people with accents. It was so sexy *0* I was also forced to watch Suite Life on Deck and the Woody guy had a shirt that said "Hello, My Name is Awesome," and I was like "PRUSSIA SHOULD SO HAVE THAT SHIRT!" He will be wearing one in the future ;D

If you haven't checked out my tumblr, you should! There's a pic of a lil Japanese boy cosplaying as England on there! It's adorable and I would really like for you guys to see it!

T.T whut happened? Everyone stopped messaging me and I've been reduced to obsessing over songs like "Opposite of Adults" by Chiddy Bang, making youtube videos (some are posted), and memorizing Nikki Minaj's rapping. Excuse me, you're a hell of guy~ I mean mah-mah-my you're like pelican fly. You're so shy and I'm lovin' you're tie~ You're slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye OH! Do you suddenly hate me or something? I'm sorry if things got awkward or something T.T

Hm, I think I've made a decision that most likely this story will be updated on a Thursday. So every other Thursday check fanfiction for this story. I've been trying to make it easier for me by writing storylines for each chapter. So I have chapter 15 and 16 planned, but not written.

Oh, and before I forget: check out the poll on my profile. I totally wanna see your input.

Translations (FINALLY HAVE THEM!):

(Spanish) Cabrón Francés, come mierda! – You French bastard, eat shit! (but you can think of it as "you shit-eating French bastard!")

(Spanish) Lo siento, mi querido - Sorry, my dear.

(Spanish) Estaba buscando en todas partes para ti! Te extrañe, Lovi. Casi me dan ganas de no dejarte ir otra vez~ - I was looking all over for you! I really missed you, Lovi. It almost makes me want to never let you go again~

Thanks Striped-Jeans for the Spanish translations~

All the rest are pretty easy.

Future objectives: Team up with PurpleSkyJuliet to capture Hetalia characters and produce yaoi porn for the loving fangirls/boys of yaoi Hetalia. And not get stabbed when I go to Colombia.

LOL so we went to Joe's Crab Shack (a resteraunt) and my great grandmother (GG) was hitting on our 27 year old waiter. So fucking funny. And the waiters/waitresses dance together every so often (Like every 30 mins or so) and GG cheered when he danced ^-^' Also, a refrigerator exploded in GG's neighborhood and we were talking about it. GG was explaining about how the fridge was against the wall and it shouldn't be and that something sparked and caused it to explode. Then my grandpa said "Nah, I think it was senior citizen meth lab." My grandpa is very corny man. We saw a book about immigrants that went to Elis Island and he said "Hey, my grandpa could be on there!" and I pointed at some person all the way in the background with a rag/shawl thing covering their head and said "There he is!"

Yeah…we have fun with my family. See you some Thursday!

P.S. GG is now claiming that a bomb was put in the fridge to make it explode. Yerp…

P.P.S. WRITE FANFICTION FOR THE NETHERLANDS/JAPAN!...please?

P.P.P.S. I love China/Wang Yao :3 HE'S SOOOO CUTE~
