Chapter 2: Word gets around

England stepped out of the taxi, his luggage at his side. He was wearing a simple white, collared shirt with a green tie tied casually around his neck. His black jeans were slightly dusty from the car ride and he dusted it off. As he examined the beach house in front of him, he started to drag the luggage up the wooden steps that were surrounded by sand that also bordered the wooden sidewalk. He had to admit that it was pretty and well maintained. It looked almost the same as the last time he had been here, which had been two years ago. The house was nicely decorated and had three levels. The beige wood walls was complemented by the white roof and white window borders. He reached the door and knocked firmly, sea breeze ruffling his hair. He heard movement behind the door and he took the pause to admire the view of the sea. The house itself was kind of secluded but not enough to make the owner feel lonely. It was just enough to give the air a peaceful and serene feel. Finally, the door opened to reveal an overly excited American. The blonde was wearing a faded Star-Spangled Banner shirt with ripped blue jeans. It definitely screamed America.

"Iggy! Man, I'm so excited you're here! I gotta admit though, I didn't think you would come so early," America babbled as he grabbed his luggage despite England's protests. He walked into the house and England followed, closing the door behind him, "Alright! Your room will be next to mine upstairs. But, you won't use it for anything other than storage. Everyone else has already taken the other rooms for their stuff." England nodded and made a note on how to get to his room in case he ever got lost...or was retreating from somebody.

"Who else did you invite?" England asked as they headed downstairs again. America looked back and thought for a moment.

"I invited around six people, I think? Let's see, that included Mattie, You, Prussia, Japan, Spain, and France," America said as he ticked off each person's name on his fingers. England felt his eye twitch at the mention of France. Not to mention the other two.

"America. Why did you invite that frog?" England said through gritted teeth. America laughed a little and scratched the back of his head.

"Well, Prussia insisted on inviting Spain, then they both insisted on France. I couldn't just be like 'I don't like France.' 'Cause that would rude!" America explained while continuing the walk downstairs. When they reached the bottom, America headed to the kitchen. "You wanna drink, Iggy?"

"No thanks. But, even with six people counting yourself, how are all of the rooms taken?" England inquired, his mind trying to work around that. Even if each person had one room to himself they would have the other two floors open.

"Well, it's actually seven people, England," a soft voice said next to him. England looked up, startled at the new person. His mind automatically tried to place him. He looked like America but, slightly different. 'What was his name? Canadia? No...Canada! Yes, that's it.' England quickly regained his composure and adopted an apologetic expression.

"Ah, yes. But, I don't think I can think of the frog as a real person, enough to count anyway," England lied, having thought of the excuse on the spot, "Anyway, do you mind explaining, Canada?" Canada looked a little surprised but smiled. America was snickering in the background while he was munching on some burgers from who knows where.

"Well, the numbers kind of escalated from seven. Right now, we have around twenty-four people," Canada said after a moment of thought. England almost fell off his chair in surprise.

"Twenty-four?! How the hell did that happen?!" England exclaimed. As if on cue, the trio of friends appeared in the room.

"That's a very nice question, Anglettere," said France. Prussia nodded in agreement. The three all sat down at the table and England frowned at them.

"So, let's answer his question, si? I'll begin!" Spain said with a smile, "Since I was invited, I couldn't just leave without my little tomato. But, Roma wanted to bring his brother who also brought Germany!" Spain finished and looked at Prussia. Prussia grinned and placed his palms on the table, standing up.

"Alright! Ze awesome me will explain my part!" Prussia said in his loud voice. England rolled his eyes and gestured for him to continue, "So, being the awesome me, I was invited to play games at his place but, I declined because of my presence here. Well, Denmark wanted to come. I asked America and he said yeah. That, ended up bringing Norway by Denmark, Iceland by Norway, and Finland and Sweden by Iceland. So, we got all the nordics with us too!" After he sat back down with his feet on the table, England had to take a moment to process that and counted the people. 'Counting the original seven plus Spain's group and the Nordics, that's fifteen. So, who else?'

"Okay, but that's only fifteen. Who else?" England said, frowning. France smiled and raised a hand.

"I know Hungary is coming because of Italy. Also, because of Matthieu's relations with Ukraine, they were also chatting. By that, Russia and the Baltics were also invited. Ukraine would stay with Belarus because God knows how this would go if she was here," France chuckled and adjusted his hair with his right hand. America stopped eating his burgers to glare at his door.

"That communist bastard! If Mattie hadn't insisted on being nice to him, I would've kicked him out pronto!" America exclaimed angrily while Canada just smiled nervously.

"W-well, we couldn't just kick him out when he traveled so far, eh?" Canada said quietly and Kumajiro looked at him.

"Who are you?" the small bear said.

"I-I'm Canada..." He replied. England, meanwhile was counting again.

"Okay, that's twenty. Who's the last four?" England spoke up, bringing the attention back to the original topic. Japan entered the room. Six pairs of eyes fixed on him and he bowed.

"Hello, everyone. I believe we are discussing the company we are having?" Japan said politely. England nodded, "If you haven't counted them yet, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea has joined us due to their interest in the sleepover." England nodded and closed his eyes, thinking. America was talking to Japan about something and the trio of friends left to do something. Then something occurred to England. Opening his eyes, he looked at America.

"Wait, so where is everyone?" England asked. America grinned and pointed to the back of his house.

"They are all hanging out at the beach, wanna go and join them?" America asked happily. England looked in the direction of his pointing and sighed. 'Might as well go and try to enjoy it. It is a vacation after all. Oh god, I just hope nothing weird happens.'


Alright, the people are set and interactions between everyone will be a challenge. But, I hope you enjoyed! Leave a review if I did something, whether it's good or bad! X3 Critiques or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time! See you in the next chapter!
