What a weird family.
The constant stream of chatter coming from America was oddly comforting, even though she was only half paying attention it kept Canada's mind off Prussia. Ever since she found the other bleeding in the toilets Canada had worried about the other Nation. She felt a bit better when she heard they seemed to have become good friends with France and Spain, but at the same time it saddened her to think that the only friend she had made other than her sister appeared to have forgotten her. Shaking her head she tried to rid herself of the thought and focus on the idea that Prussia had people to support her if she needed it.
Canada was so lost in thought she hadn't noticed America had stopped walking until she had walked into the back of her. Peering round her sister she spotted that the restaurant was full and America was frantically searching for somewhere to sit. After a moment she started off towards two blonde Nations, who appeared to be having a heated discussion, Canada trailing quietly behind her. As they approached the table the two stopped their discussion to look at America.
"Mind if we join ya?" America asked happily,
"We?" One asked, her blues eyes showing confusion and her French accent ringing clear.
"Yeah me and my sis, Canada?" America smiled brightly motioning to her sister behind her.
"It's my sister Canada and I and I suppose it's all right with me, what about you Frog?" The other Nation replied, the blue-eyed Nation shrugged which America took as an invitation to sit down in one of the empty seats, Canada following closely behind to quietly take a seat between the two blue-eyed Nations.
"So..." America started, reaching for the bread on the table, "I'm the United States of America and this is my sister Canada, who are you guys?"
"I'm England of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the frog here is the Republic of France." The green-eyed Nation said introducing the pair.
"Or Répulique Française if you wish to speak my language." The other Nation, France, concluded.
"No one here speaks you language frog." England stated calmly, France feigned shock,
"No one speaks the language of l'amour? This is terrible." She gasped causing England to raise an eyebrow in amusement.
"Actually..." Canada said in her whisper like voice, "I speak French."
"Vous faites?"
"Oui, le Canada est un pays bilingue."
"See Angleterre, people do speak my beautiful language." France stated proudly, England simply rolled her eyes.
"Only because Canada was a French colony before it was British, she probably wouldn't speak it without your influence."
"And had she not spent time as a British colony she wouldn't speak English so do not act as though your influence left nothing." America tried (and failed) to stifle a laugh at the two arguing Nations.
"God, you two act as though she's a child in a messy divorce, and don't forget you both influenced my country too." America grinned at the other Nations.
"America's right..." Canada whispered, "based on our histories you two are possibly the closest to parents, or at least older siblings, that our countries would have."
"That makes some sense, though I'm not old enough to be a mother," England muttered, "But none of us knew each other before coming here, we definitely aren't related and I'm sure you two must have actual parents."
America flinched momentarily before replying, "Yeah but me and Canada weren't related before either, but we still know we're sisters." She said her mouth full of food; somehow during their conversation they had succeeded in ordering and now America was shovelling in French fries. England visibly cringed at the sight,
"If I am your 'parent' then I have the right to scold you for how you are eating, do you have any table manners? That's disgusting." She scolded causing Canada to giggle knowing it was a lost cause.
"They're fries they don't need table manners." America countered,
"Being at a table requires table manners the food doesn't matter." England retorted, her patience was clearly stretched. The argument continued like this for sometime as Canada watched whilst eating her own meal.
Glancing to her side she saw France was also watching the exchange in amusement as she cut up her salad and moved it around her plate, in a fashion not dissimilar to a child trying to hide the fact they've not eaten anything. Looking back to England she saw the Island Nation's eyes flicker briefly to the plate, but she could only deal with one problem at a time and she soon returned her attention to America.
Canada turned back to France to say something only to see her leaving,
"As amusing as this is mes amis," She said "I have plans, au revoir." As she left England frowned at the amount of food left but didn't comment, and after a while she also left followed soon by America who had made plans to hang out with South Korea.
Soon after they were gone Canada began the walk back to her room wondering if she really was related to those people.
