When Norway and Romania walked into England's house for the Magic Trio meeting, they could not see him, but they could very clearly hear him cursing from his study. When they walked in, Norway was promptly hit in the face by a crumpled piece of paper.
"Hei Arthur. What's going on?" asked Romania, seeing the Englishman sitting at his desk with his head in his hands, surrounded by balled up pieces of paper.
"Hm? Oh, hello Vlad, Lukas," he said, raising his head. "Halloween's coming up, and I need to come up with something that's guaranteed to scare that bloody git Alfred this year." The others, knowing of the infamous yearly scaring contest, nodded in understanding.
"I'm sure we can come up with something," said Norway, as Romania swept the papers off the desk and pulled up two more chairs.

On the evening of Halloween, Alfred Jones, aka The United States of America, knocked on England's door, slightly apprehensive of what may have been to come.
"Come in!" called England's voice. Testing the doorknob, America found it unlocked. He let himself in, knowing for certain now that something was up.
Nothing jumped out at him from the front hall closet, nor was he ambushed by the bathroom. When he walked into the living room, where England was sitting, however…
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" shrieked the personification of the USA, running straight back out the way he had come.
"Well that was rude, especially since I have guests I wanted him to meet," joked England, snickering as he sipped his tea. "By the way, Nicholas, it was nice of the you and the others to agree to a visit. I know you need to get back for the Feast, so don't let me keep you."
"It was our pleasure, Arthur!" called Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, aka Nearly Headless Nick, as he floated through the wall and left with the Fat Friar, Bloody Baron, and Grey Lady.
