sorry for the late update! thank you to those who left comment/reviews and are following, favorite(d) and are reading this! pardon the grammar. Please excuse the cussing.

Prussia walks around the ballroom. Quite frankly, he was surprised that Alice managed to throw a full blown party like this.

" She is so uptight and strict…I wouldn't have thought that she would-" he paused when he saw the double doors leading from the foyer opened. Spain emerged, Gilbert did not like his expression.

Romano was walking with Belgium as they stopped dancing.

"Where's Spain?" Belgium asked. Romano shrugged, suddenly the double doors opened. Romano and Belgium shivered when they saw his expression.

"I found him" Romano said in fear, forgetting to address Spain as "Stupid". "and he's mad" he said as he gulped. Belgium nodded.

"Merde" France said as he walked hastily to Spain. Romano watched as Spain was pushed by the shoulders to the darker parts of the ballroom. Romano gave Belgium to Holland (Netherlands) and followed France. Prussia soon joined Romano after telling America to go fetch Alice.

"What happened?" France asked in a scowl.

"Nothing" Spain said as he crossed his arms.

"CONNERIE" France said. "You walking around with this expression is not 'nothing'" France said. Prussia finally jumped in the conversation.

"exactly what happened when you and Alice talked?" he asked. Spain looked at Prussia. His eyes were full with anger, not anger towards anybody, but himself.

"nada" Spain said. He then saw Romano. "Lovi you should go out and have fun, I'll be fine." he said. Romano just stared at Spain.

"Spain…" Romano began. Spain looked up. "Where's your necklace?"

Alfred walked hastily towards Alice's room. He didn't like the way Spain left the ballroom smiling and then came back with a frown. Alfred knew what it was like to be near Spain when the Spaniard is mad, he was Alice's colony wasn't he? He made a quick turn to the right as soon as he climbed up the stairs. He turned to the last door on the left, he stopped by it and tried the door. Of course. It would be locked. He then knocked.

"I'll be right down America" Alice said. Alfred jumped. How did Alice knew it was him. He listened closely. And was Alice crying? "America, I won't go out of my room until you go back to the ballroom" Alice said through the door. Alfred felt his shoulders slump down.

"okay" he said as he turned around.

Gilbert took a step closer to Spain. "dude.." Prussia said. Gilbert was shocked. Around Antonio's beautiful dark green eyes were a hint of red. "were you crying?" he asked in a hushed whisper. Spain's eyes widened, his hand going directly to the bottom of his eyes, wiping them as if tears were falling. France held onto his wrist and signed.

"mon cher" he said. "It breaks my heart to see you like this" he said. Antonio didn't move, he just stared back at France. "I love both of you and I can't handle to see both of you guys cry on the same ni-" before France could finish his sentence, Spain's hand met his face. The loud clapping sound didn't seem to get the crowd's attention.

"CALLATE" Spain said. France caressed the swelling cheek. "How could you say that?" Spain asked. "You care for her? You care?" Spain exclaimed. Romano stood and watched in shock. He watched as Gilbert went behind Spain and clung onto him, preventing the angry Spaniard from harming the stunned Frenchman.

"THAT SOUNDS REALLY GENUINE FROM THE MAN WHO GAVE HER HER FIRST HEART BREAK!" Spain said. Romano was thankful for the musicians and there lovely music. "You make me laugh. You care for her yet you cheated on her….WITH HER ELDER BROTHER!" Spain said. " You care for her yet you constantly picked on her and egged her and helped that American brat gain independence-"

"YOU HELPED HIM TOO" France exclaimed. " you gave him arms from the beginning!" he said. "don't you dare point out my flaws mon cher" France warned. "You had equally hurt her as well!" he said. Spain looked at him. France continued. "You may not have cheated but you had your eye on Belgium and you know it!" he said. "she knew it too!" he said. "She trusted you to not lie to her and tell her the truth when she asked of your involvement with the war in America, and what do you do? YOU LIED." he said.

" It's wasn't like I was sleeping with him like you were. I mean she walked in on you guys!" Spain said trying to take a step closer to France. Romano couldn't just stand there anymore.

"forget about all that bullshit!" he said. He then looked at Spain. "now answer my question!" he exclaimed. "Where did your necklace go?" he asked. Spain looked at Romano. "well?" Romano asked. Before Spain could answer the double doors opened. Everyone turned their heads Spain's eyes widened as an ash blonde haired woman entered the room.

America turned to see what everyone was awing at, When he turned around, he saw Alice. Dressed up in crimson red. A rose was hanging on the left hip of the dress, dragging some of the fabric with it. His jaw dropped as he saw how the dress caressed Alice's delicate curves, how it brought color to her skin. He looked up to see her hair was done differently. It was braided and spun into a bun at the base of her head. A red ribbon that cascaded over the braids held onto the hair. Most of all, Alice had a beautiful ruby petal red rose necklace with a diamond center. It was on the gold chain and the gold lining. The music stopped and the musicians smiled at her. Alice nodded and then the dancing resumed.

Spain's jaw dropped by Alice's sudden entrance. Her hair, the dress's fashion style..and the necklace. All of it seemed to give him the feeling of nostalgia. Gilbert let him go as he felt Spain relaxed. Romano eye's were fixated on Alice.

"So once again the necklace is with the rightful owner" he whispered. Spain walked pass Romano. Just then the music stopped. All of the nations looked at the musicians.

"Ladies and gentlemen.." the pianist started. " We would like to ask some of you to take over and play some melodies from ballroom dances like these were always thrown"

" Please don't be afraid and come up to the stage and play three songs…all in which one dances with the same partner for all three." The pianist continued. "I would prefer it if you dance with someone you haven't dance with yet." he said as he stood up.

Kiku placed himself by the piano, he had the violin in hand, he moved as Austria made his way to the piano. Italy grabbed a chair and grabbed the cello, Hong Kong got the possesion of the flute. Romano then sat next to Italy as he cradled the guitar. Gilbert asked Hungary for a dance, America asked Vietnam, France asked Seychelles and Lithuania asked Belarus for her hand in dancing. As the couples gathered, Wales and Northern Ireland watched. Suddenly, Irene snatched Northern Ireland mumbling "as much I kind of hate you I need to dance with you" she said. Denmark and Sweden were paired up, Finland with Sealand, while Norway was with Iceland. China was dancing with Taiwan, Korea was with Thailand. Germany sat down, taking a break from being dragged to dance ten songs straight. America was talking to Vietnam, reminiscing about the war, until suddenly, there was a huge gasp from the crowd. America turned his head to see that the focus was in the middle of the ball room.

Romano nearly dropped the guitar when he saw what has unfolded. Italy and Austria were in shock as they saw the scene. Japan and the rest seemed confused. Well, everyone was confused, but the European nations who were older or about Alice's and Antonio's age. America looked around and saw that Gilbert had a worried expression, while his dance partner, Hungary was wearing a melancholic smile. He then looked over to Denmark. The young Dane seemed unsatisfied at the current event, and it seemed like Sweden was holding him so that he wouldn't be able to do anything. He then looked at France, France was the one who looked the happiest. America held Vietnam's hand and lead her to see what was going on. In the middle of the ballroom was Alice and her siblings. Alice apparently was being held by her siblings (including a worried Peter), her hand covered her mouth, and her eye brows were furrowed. Scotland held Alice by the shoulders, Wales was by her side, Northern Ireland was on the other side and Peter right behind Northern Ireland. America looked at the person who Alice seemed to have jumped away from. There, Spain kneeled on his right knee, his left arm resting on the right raised knee and his had was shaped as it he was holding someone's hand. He was looking straight at Alice. Alice looked back at him.

" Will you give me the honor of dancing with you my lady?" Spain asked. Alice looked at Spain and then at her brothers. America saw Hungary hold Prussia back, and he saw Sweden hold Denmark. Scotland then signed and pushed Alice forward. Alice stumbled a bit, and for balance, her right hand was placed perfectly onto Spain's right hand. Spain then held her right hand and kissed the back of it.

"You have not answered my question." he said. "Will you please honor me by dancing with you?" he asked. Alice looked at Spain, and then at her brothers. They all nodded. Alice closed her eyes and then backed away from Spain. She then curtsied.
