The blond German man pushed a stray hair back; he was beginning to feel one of his stress migraines coming back. Before him a silver haired man was continuing to puke on his shoes. He knew he shouldn't have come drinking with a complete stranger but once again a girl had broken up with him. They always said they couldn't stand how much of a perfectionist he was, " I want a boyfriend not a dad", he'd heard the same line over and over again.

He was having those dreams again too, the dreams that felt more like memories. He was considering going to his therapist again, be put back on the drugs. But right then and there he just wanted to drink, that was when he met the silver-haired man. Gilbert. It sounded so familiar he couldn't help but want to be with the guy.

Ludwig had already had a couple of drinks when he saw him. "West!" the albino had cried out when their eyes met and it sounded so familiar. Like maybe he'd seen him in one of his dreams.

But now Ludwig was sober and this man was a complete stranger

"Al!" Matthew cried out as he tried to restrain his friend from attacking the two again. He had never gotten kicked out of a place before and definitely did not want ever to be kicked out of a place in the future.

"Mattie! Why are you always on the sides of the commies?" Alfred yelled. A creepy laugh escaped from the Russia cosplayer and the England cosplayer simply face palmed.

"The soviet union was disbanded twenty years ago you bloody idiot and Bao-Zhi is an American citizen" the England cosplayer said indignantly with a strong British accent. Alfred stuck his tongue out and relaxed muttering a "whatever".

"Well since it appears we are stuck together-aru" the China cosplayer said, "we might as well get to know each other".

"I am the totally heroic and awesome United States of America, Alfred Freedom Jones!" Alfred stated with a salute.

"I'm Michael, I'm here as a part of a foreign exchange student with Vladimir from Russia" England said "we are staying at Bao-Zhi's house".

"Um I'm Jason, I mean Matthew", Matthew mumbled after receiving a look from Alfred.

"Well," Michael sighed, "there is a Hetalia panel going on and were planning on going to see it, Hidekaz is going to be there". He got a kind of distant look, "I really want to ask him some questions".

"Me too" said Alfred, "Well let's go! I'm leading the way!"
