A/N: So I'm kinda hoping that if I write this author's note and stare at it long enough, I'll get an idea for what I'm going to write. I thought I knew, but apparently not. –dies-

England's fingers trembled as he buttoned his shirt. He wasn't sure how to feel. Inside of him, a flurry of emotions blew and he was sure the butterflies in his stomach were punching him. It was something he had waited for years to happen, and something he had started to think never would: his first date with America. It was going to be a simple, easy-going night; a movie date. England told himself that he needed to calm down, but it did nothing to quell the whirlwind of emotions inside of him. With a final look in the mirror, England left his room and descended the stairs to wait for America.
The ten minutes he waited seemed like hours. Finally, he heard his door bell ring, and he nearly sprinted to answer it. He stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath.
"Relax," he reminded himself, then opened the door.
America was dressed casually, as he usually was, with his hands in his pockets and the faint smell of nice cologne coming from him. He looked nervous, if that was possible for him. Naturally though, he was trying to hide it.
"Yo, England! You ready?" he asked in an overly loud voice, a goofy smile plastered to his face. England had to smile. That was his America.
"Yes, just let me grab my jacket," he said, reaching up to the coat rack and grabbing his black jacket.
"Alright, let's get going," America exclaimed turning as England came up beside him. For a moment, he paused, a thoughtful look on his face and England was about to ask what was wrong, when America extended a hand to him. He felt his heart beat just a little faster, and he blushed as he took the other man's hand. It was warm, if not a little rough, and England couldn't help but notice America's pulse quicken just a bit.
"Uh, don't wanna miss the previews," America said, starting to walk. England smiled.
"No, wouldn't want to do that."

Okay, so this is way shorter than I wanted it to be, but I think it's okay for an intro. I really just want to get something posted because it's been almost two months since I wrote the prequel. So, please be nice; I swear the next chapters will be much longer. Thank you to the people who read A Million and One Confessions and are now reading this. I'm sorry for the wait!
