A/N So I decided to skip ahead in time, but I will be going back. This takes place in the present day. I got inspired, and the thought wouldn't leave, so I'm doing it. DON'T JUDGE ME! Lol jk
OoOoOoOo
It all started with one sentence.
Francis, I need your help. I'm planning a surprise.
It was England's birthday. Everyone knew he would probably just sit at home getting drunk, so Siobhan enlisted the help of Francis to get him to leave his house. Currently, they had England at a nice restaurant that they had rented out for the party. All of the nations were there, getting drunk of course.
Ireland decided to start her plan; she walked up to Alfred and Mathew.
"Hey, guys, you wanna do something for me?" she asked.
"It all depends, last time we were drinking and you asked for a favor I had to pull Seamus out of the channel…" Alfred said suspiciously.
"Look, forge that. I've given up drinking absinthe. Well, mostly." She was annoyed at the memory, "Anyway! I'm not drunk now! I need you two to distract Arthur while Francis and I get our present ready for him!"
XXXXX
America and Canada agreed, and Francis and Siobhan disappeared for over an hour. Finally, Francis made an appearance, shortly before light flashed on a corner of the restaurant where a small stage with a piano was located.
Francis sauntered over where Arthur sat at the bar, ordered a glass of wine and was able to direct the nearly drunk mans attention to the stage. After struggling to maintain his attention, a close friend and one of Arthur's most favorite people walked onto the stage and sat at the piano; none other than Andrew Lloyd Webber. The entire place roared with applause, every nation recognized the playwright who had such a wondrous impact on the world.
Arthur was speechless as he watched. The man began to play as a woman with red hair walked on stage. She was gorgeous; she had very light makeup on, and bright blue eyes. She wore a stunning black evening gown that fit her amazingly. Arthur recognized the song, it was one from Webber's new musical, but as soon as the woman began to sing he realized it was not the actress who played the lead.
'And soon as you submit, surrender flesh and bone, love takes on a life much bigger than your own.'
As soon as she sang this part, Arthur recognized Seamus, his own son, walk out on stage and hold the woman's hand. As soon as she reached the climax of the song Arthur snapped out of his drunken haze and realized, the woman singing was Siobhan!
The song ended, and everyone clapped. Arthur sat dumbfounded as Siobhan and Seamus hugged each other, and then Webber as he stood from the piano. They all went back stage, and all of the nations were discussing the performance.
"So, mon cher," Francis said, kissing Arthur's cheek, "Did you like your present? Siobhan came up with the idea, but I helper her put it together. I got Sir Andrew to play, and I helped Siobhan dress and do her hair. Who would have thought Siobhan was a soprano? Well, mezzo soprano, Sir Andrew had to slightly adjust the music."
"Shut up frog." Arthur said.
Francis looked down at the man who was sitting beside him; he looked like he was going to cry. "Arthur? What's wrong?"
"I… don't know how I could deserve a birthday like this… From both of you… I've only over been… DAMN YOU!" he yelled, downing his bourbon.
XXXXX
So, yes, short chapter is short. I apologize.
The song Siobhan is singing is 'Love never dies' from the musical of the same name, the sequel to the Phantom of the Opera written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, one of the world's most famous playwrights. He's written many shows, such as Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Evita, and many many more. Go check some of them out, they're amazing. His most famous musicals are Cats and Phantom, you can find it on youtube, I do believe.
