A/N: Yeah, this is a bit on the short side (and way too late!). However, I decided that the best way for me to actually be able to update with any sort of real frequency is to go to shorter chapters, mainly meaning that I'll only write one or two POVs per chapter, not like the first chapter. I'll try to update this every week or two but as that's what I said last time... I may not be able to keep with that. School's a little chaotic right now but hopefully it'll calm down after the AP tests (I have APUSH, and we're packing in lots of stuff and homework until then) and I'll be able to update this and my other story faster. Hope you all enjoy this chapter! (And I apologize ahead of time if there's any OOCness on America's part.)

Chapter 2: The Relationship Between a Nation and Their Capital

D.C. POV

"Alfred."

"Whuht?"

The capital sighed. "Stop eating burgers so much."

"Whuhy?"

She frowned at the blond. He seriously needed to chew and swallow his food before he started talking to people. Or at least take smaller bites so he'd be able to talk around his meal. "It's unhealthy for you and quite disgusting. Do you even know how many calories and grams of fat are in that thing?"

"Nope." He had finally swallowed his gigantic bite of the double patty burger he had been eating and so grinned at her. It was quite repulsing- she could still see bits of hamburger meat and cheap lettuce on his usually white teeth. "I don't really care either. Can I have some of your fries?"

The younger rolled her eyes. "Of course you can, Alfred. Just- just take them all, okay?" At least the sight of him talking while chewing French fries wouldn't be near as bad as when he was eating one of his numerous burgers. Besides, she had only gotten them because she wasn't sure if the salad she had ordered would taste enough like a salad for her to be able to eat it, and she wanted something as backup. Thank god McDonald's hadn't messed up a bunch of lettuce and toppings, unlike the greasy cow meat on bread that they called a "hamburger".

"Thanks!" He smiled widely, grabbing the aforementioned fries and promptly shoving a couple into his mouth. D.C. cringed, but made no comment and instead turned to her salad.

America looked at the food she was eating and seemed to cough a little. "How-how could you eat that, D.-" She glared at him, glancing at a group of teenagers to their left pointedly. "Ally?" He corrected himself quickly. Hey, who said that America couldn't be smart every now and then?

"I can eat this, Alfred, because it tastes good and is healthier than that lump of lard that you usually eat. Lots of people are either going vegetarian or are being smart and dieting. Mainly those people are women." She smirked, going back to eating her food. Aah, how much she loved to mock the opposite gender, especially since it was already easy to mock her nation.

America looked at his burger, his eyebrows furrowing for a moment, before the rest of her statement was processed by him. "Hey, are you suggesting that men are dumber than women?"

"Of course not, Alfred. Men are the most intelligent people ever, far more than women." She laughed at the expression of confusion on his face. "I'm messing with you, Alfred. And you wonder why I like to tease you so much." She opened the plastic bottle of water she had bought and took a sip, leaning back in her seat and keeping up her smirk.

"I knew that! The hero always knows that!" He retorted- rather badly, in D.C.'s opinion-, trying to glare and sticking his tongue out at her.

Men.
