You had gotten out of the shower and got dressed in a (f/c) long sleeve shirt and (f/j) jeans. You dried your (h/l) (h/c) hair with a red towel, you finished you brushed out the tangles and applied a light amount of make-up. Once you were satisfied with your look you headed down stairs. All of the provinces were surrounding Matthew yelling and asking questions. You stood there watching them curiously, they were speaking french so you couldn't quite understand what they were saying with the small amount of french vocabulary you had. Oliver noticed you and shushed everyone down. All of the provinces turned to look at you with Mattie in the middle with a bright blush painted on his cheeks.
"Hey _, we were wondering if you would like to go with us somewhere." Oliver smiled as the provinces nodded.
"Sure, i'd love to. Where to?"
"Well I think it would be fun for us to go to Canada's Wonderland."
"Really?! I would love to go!" You grinned excitedly. Canada's Wonderland was a big amusement park in Ontario. ((Its really fun, if you ever have the chance to go to Ontario. I really recommend this place.)) The provinces cheered and jumped around happily as Matthew smiled.
"Then it's settled, everyone get your stuff ready. We leave in an hour." They ran to their rooms and quickly started to pack small bags with things they would need. You and Mattie did the same as you giggled in excitement. Mattie chuckled lightly, just seemed so happy. This made up for every time someone forgot him or mistaken him for Alfred. Just seeing you having fun in his country was all he needed to know, to know that he had fallen in love with you. He froze at the realization. Since your first day at the meeting you were the only one to never forget him..never.
"Mattie!" He was startled out of his thoughts by you yelling his name. He blushed.
"Y-Yes?"
"They're waiting for us downstairs." You chuckled. "Come on." You grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the room. The provinces were still arguing and again stopped once they laid eyes on you.
"Well looks like we're all ready! Let's go!" Oliver cheered as they all poured out of the house excitedly. You smiled as you and Matthew followed behind them. Outside of the house a private bus was parked in front. The provinces lined up at the door and one by one they got in. Matthew and you got to sit in the front next to each other since you two were the last ones in. It took like around 4 hours to get to the park. Most were talking and others had fallen asleep along with Matthew. You looked out the window watching the buildings pass by. A sigh left your lips as you leaned back into the blue the leather seat.
"I still can't understand.." You mumbled to yourself.
"What can't you understand?" Oliver leaned over the back of your seat as he looked at you curiously.
"I don't understand how the countries fail to notice Mattie. His country is amazing, filled with such nice people, and the scenery is just breathtaking. How can no one see it…"
"Well I don't think i can answer that.." Oliver frowned. Ian leaned over next to Oliver.
"We are used to it, I mean what do you expect. With Alfred as a neighbor, we could never stand out." You looked up at them then at the sleeping country at your side.
"Its sad that people don't see someone so caring, nice, cute-" Your face exploded into a blush. "I d-didn't mean cute! I ment handsome.. No!" You pulled your knees up to your chest embarrassed.
"Ohhh~ You like Mattie don't you." Oliver nudged her playfully. "Don't worry, we won't tell him." He smirked.
She peeked at him still a blushing mess. "Th-Thanks.." After that incident, Oliver and Ian sat back down in their seats. Boredom slowly overcame you, you yawned and made yourself comfortable. With heavy eyelids, you took a nap. You snapped awake when the bus came to an abrupt stop. You held on to your seat so you wouldn't be thrown forward.
"We're here!" Oliver yelled and ran out of the bus along with the rest of the provinces. You smiled and turned to Mattie that even with all the noise was still asleep. You smiled and shook him lightly. "Mattie wake up we're here."
He started to stretch and yawn. He sat up straight rubbing his eyes. "How long was i asleep?"
"Most of the trip but don't worry so was I." She smiled and stood up. "Come on before they leave us." Mattie nodded and grabbed his bag along with hers and stepped off the bus. She followed close behind, once off the bus she grabbed her bag from him and slipped it on.
Oliver stood on a bench and got everyone's attention. "Okay okay so we're here. If anyone gets separated just call me or Mattie and we'll go look for you. We all have fast passes so we will get on rides together." He spoke. Mattie smiled looking around.
"I haven't been here in years.." He said to himself. You smiled.
"Well we're going to have a lot of fun today." He smiled down at you and nodded. Soon the group started going on rides. Everyone laughed and squealed happily. Mattie looked like he was the one having the most fun. He would often hold your hand, not that you minded. The hours passed and the sun started to go down. there was one ride left. They lined up to get in the two people boats. Mattie and you got on the same boat as it started to glide into the cave. The lights inside suddenly turned on showing a beautiful display of all the famous romance stories from all over the world. (This isn't really a ride there…..I think) You gasped looking around. "Woah this is amazing!" Mattie chuckled lightly at your reaction. He looked around admiring the work of the people who had designed the ride. The boat moved slowly through the ride, it went into another section and red and pink glitter fell over them making them smiled and start shaking it off. Mattie looked down at his lap and saw a single red rose laying there. He gently picked it up and held it to his nose. He breathed in its sweet scent and looked at you. He chewed the inside of his cheek, he gently tapped your shoulder. You turned to look at him. Your were surprised with a beautiful rose being held up to you, you looked at Mattie and noticed the scarlet colour on his face. You smiled and gently took the rose.
"Thank you Mattie." You leaned over to kiss his cheek, but the boat bumped onto an edge causing you lips to fall on his. His eyes widened and the colour on his cheeks spread to his ears. You quickly pulled away, a dark blush on your cheeks. "I am so so sorry Mathew!"
He held a hand up to his mouth and gently touched his lips with his fingers. 'She….She kissed me! She really kissed me!' He smiled sweetly. "I-It's alright." He let out a small dreamy sigh as he zoned out.
You looked at him curiously. He wasn't freaking out like you'd expect him to. You leaned back in your seat and gingerly ran your fingers over the petals of the rose. 'I wonder what he's thinking. I thought he was going to either pass out or push me away...his lips are so soft, i wish it would have lasted longer..' The ride soon came to an end. Matthew helped you out of the boat and walked with you to gather with the others. He had a sweet smile and a small blush on his face.
'She kissed me, she actually kissed me.' That's all that passed through his mind as they looked for another ride.
