A/N: Here is the second chapter to 'After 10 Years'. Thanks to everyone reading/reviewing this. I'm not finished with Chapter 3 yet but I really wanted to post something as a gift for Christmas to all you lovely readers. Enjoy and review at the end!

I do not own Hetalia.

"Hurry up! The carriage is about to leave, bruder!"

"Ok. I'm almost done!" I pulled out a comb and brushed my hair straight then looked in a mirror. Nope. Not what I was looking for. I put down the comb and ruffled my hair a bit. There we go! No woman can resist the awesome me now!

"BRUDER! WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU!"

Damn. West can really yell. I took one last look in the mirror and headed downstairs where he was waiting. Time to go I guess.

We arrived at the Vargas castle at around 5:30, half an hour before the ball starts. Upon our early arrival, King Remutas, or Remmy as he likes to be called, greeted us warmly and lent us a room for the night. The room and the castle itself were amazing! They were warm, comforting, and fit for the awesome me! Our castle was more like a fort since father cared about our military and protection rather than gold and jewels (not that it's not awesome). At least I can finish getting ready in peace. The clock read 5:40. Hmm… I would have 15 minutes to get ready and 5 minutes to walk aimlessly around the castle. Seems good! I took a quick shower (you have to smell good around the ladies!), put on my outfit, fixed (messed with) my hair, and last put on my iron cross necklace, the finishing touch. I looked my reflection up and down. I decided I looked irresistibly awesome. The time was 5:55, right on time! I left my room and walked around the castle, memorizing it just in case of an emergency. Vatar always told Ludwig and me that it would be wise to make sure we could escape to find help if needed. I had just finished when the clock chimed 6 o'clock, time for the ball to start, and time for me to find a wife. Let's get started.

The ball took place in the ballroom and garden because Princess Felinciana loves being outdoors I've heard. I've never actually seen the princesses but Vatar has me attend everyone's parties. Probably to see if I could get a woman. Oh yeah, that's why I'm here! To find a woman or get married to Princess Lovina. I looked around for any women that would be worth my time. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hola amigo! What brings you here?" Hey it's 'Toni. "Guten Abend 'Toni! Actually, Vatar told me that I could either find a woman here or get married to Princess Lovina." He looked pretty shocked, probably because I'm getting married younger and before him. Antonio was quite handsome to most women. He had messy, brown, hair, sincere brown eyes, and a pretty good build. I had platinum-blonde hair, awesome red eyes, and an equally good build. I'm the first-born heir to the throne of Berlin, Ludwig being second born and two years younger than me. Ludwig had slicked-back blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and a very muscular build. Antonio was the only heir to the throne of Madrid. Just because he was an only child didn't mean that he was spoiled though. In fact, he was the complete opposite! He always thought of everyone first and was probably the kindest of our group.

"Bonjour mon ami. What are you two talking about?" Lo and behold. Our third member has arrived. This guy is Francis. He has shoulder length, wavy, blonde hair, and is a total flirt. Like Antonio he is an only child and is the heir to the throne of Paris. Me, him, and Antonio have been friends since we were kids and were referred to as the 'Bad Touch Trio.'

As I explained the situation to him, he simply nodded. I was a year younger than both of them. Francis doesn't seem to mind me getting married younger than him. When I asked him all he said is "I'm simply happy for you. I am sad though because there is no amour in this relationship." There he goes again. He thinks that just because he's French means that he knows everything about love.

"Can I have everyone's attention please? Thank you." We all looked at King Remmy who was located at a foyer next to a stairwell on both sides and a beautiful fountain underneath. "Thank you all for coming to my granddaughter's 15th birthday celebration. Now that she is 15, she is now eligible for marriage and courting. And now for our guest of honor." Everyone politely clapped. Somehow Ludwig had found me and was now to my left. King Remmy stepped aside for a young woman. "Introducing Princess Felinciana Vargas." The woman, er, Princess Felinciana smiled and curtsied to the crowd. She was pretty in her own way. Her hazel hair was in a high ponytail, a bubbly smile on her face, and a fancy gown on. I couldn't tell you much about her because I couldn't see her well from where I was standing. I was about to ask Ludwig what he thought about her until I saw a look on his face. I knew that look.

It was the same look I use to have.

The same look I wore everyday after Elizabeta left the party.

Ludwig was in love.

A/N: Let me just say that I DON'T KNOW FRENCH OR GERMAN OR SPANISH. I have a few friends that are learning German so I get my German from them and the little German I actually know (which is a little bit not a lot). The only French I know is what I learned from fanfiction (Teehee), and I USED to have a friend who knew Spanish. He moved though and now I found someone who is going to learn Spanish but I don't think she'll know enough for my story.

Guten Abend – German; Good evening (or night. I forgot. OTL)

Hola – Spanish; Hello

Bonjour mon ami-French; Hello my friend
