Oh, and I should probably mention this. The reason why I don't put the pairing in the chapter navigation is because I want to maintain the element of surprise. I mean, imagine there's a new reader, and they decided to cheat by clicking on the chapter navigation and seeing who is paired with whom. If you guys want, I can post a list of the pairings in the last chapter in an Author's Note for navigation purposes. So you will only have to wait three more weeks for the completed pairing list. That's right. After this, there will only be six more chapters.

Chapter 24: Northern Ireland and Thailand
Northern Ireland sighed, swallowing thickly. He was about to do something that he normally didn't do.
Sparing a glance towards France, who was speaking to the nation sitting next to him, he knew that what he was about to do was a necessary step forwards.
Ever since finding out who his thread was connected to, he felt that he had to do something to bring the two ends of the thread together. He had to be with the other.
And seeing how it worked out so well for his brothers, he decided that he would give it a try as well.
He looked around the room, finally spotting the Thai that France had identified as his soul mate, and sighing deeply for courage, he calmly approached the other.
Thailand was speaking to Vietnam when he noticed a figure approaching out of the corner of his eye, and he turned to see Northern Ireland approaching.
"Excuse me, Thailand," Northern Ireland said. "I was wondering if you want to get some dinner with me."
Thailand felt his eyes widen, and he was sure that he could feel his face heating up. But he smiled, nodding his head, and Northern Ireland smiled in relief.
Neither noticed a sulking Vietnam.
…
France was annoyed, to say the least.
He had been interrupted when he finally had the courage to flirt a little with his destined one. He was pleased that the other didn't seem to find his personality overwhelming, of course it had been toned down a little.
And then Norway just had to arrive.
He was also a little irked to find out that Norway had learned of his gift, and it was all thanks to Hungary. He would need to have a little chat with her.
And the following day would be the last day of the conference. He knew that if he didn't ask the other out by that time, Picardy and Monaco would never forgive him, and they wouldn't act as long as he didn't act.
What a complicated affair.
…
Molossia sighed, finally finding the courage to ask a certain nation out.
He just hoped that he wouldn't be rejected, since he was a micronation after all.
