"BRIIIII~ WHERE ARE THE COOKIES?" Kay-Kay whined from the kitchen. She was looking pitifully into the kitchen-pantry, hanging loosely off the handles on the slim, wooden doors.

"I HID THEM!" Bri shouted from upstairs, presumably her room. Kay-Kay whined.

"WHYYYYY?~" she cried pitifully. Her voice was whiny and very annoying.*

"BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS EAT MY COOKIES, WIDE-ASS!"

Kay-Kay pouted, and closed the pantry doors. "YOUR cookies?!"

"IT'S MY HOUSE, ISN'T IT?!"

"I LIVE HERE TOO, DAMMIT!"

"Pst, Miss Michaela!" Kay-Kay turned her head to where the whisper had come from.

"Oh, hey, Feli! I've told you, though, call me Kay-Kay, not 'Miss Michaela.' Wazzup?" Kay-Kay turned to the younger nation, who was standing in the doorway that connected the living room and the kitchen.

Chibitalia looked around hesitantly. "I...I know where Miss Brianna- I mean, Bri - hid the cookies." he whispered. Kay-Kay nearly gushed at his cuteness, but she was stopped by her immediate hunger and desire for unhealthy treats.

"Really?! Where are they?"

"She put the box in the shoe cupboard in the breezeway," Chibitalia answered, pointing in the direction of the laundry area, which lead to the breezeway.

Kay-Kay's face turned to a scowl. "That tricky little minx, her! She knew that I'd never look there! Just for that, I'm not leaving her any cookies at all, and I'm changing her alarm to 'I've Got a Jar of Dirt'!" she fumed angrily, stomping off to the breezeway. When she returned, she was holding a package of Chip's Deluxe and was downing them like potato chips. Glancing down at Chibitalia, she held the package out to him. "Want a cookie?"

He nodded. "Grazie!" Kay-Kay couldn't help but let a small "aw" slip because of his incredible cuteness.

"Kay-Kay. Kayla. Kay-Kay-Kay-Kayla. Kay-Kay-Kayla. Kay-Kay-Kayla. Kaaaaay-Kay."**

Kay-Kay turned toward the random voice and nearly jumped out of her skin. "AUTUMN! WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM?!"

Autumn shrugged and stepped out of her hiding spot in the laundry room. "The window. I've been sitting here for ten minutes waiting for someone to scare."

Kay-Kay eyed her friend wearily. "Bro...you have some serious problems."

"So I've been told. Hey, I've got a question for you."

"What?"

Autumn took the package of cookies out of Kay-Kay's hands and popped one in her mouth, much to Kay-Kay's annoyance. "Do you know who your next unit will be? Because I'm totally all for Germany, just putting that out there."

Kay-Kay rolled her eyes. "Yeah...I kinda figured you'd say that." She then sighed. "I dunno, though, because everyone wants someone different. I want Romano, Meghan wants America, Quincy wants England - but only because she found out he can perform dark magic- and Carrie wants Japan. Sam and Bri both don't care."

Autumn raised an eyebrow. "I've checked out the website in my free time, why don't you just hit the 'Random Unit' button?"

Kay-Kay did a double-take. "Wait, there's a 'Random Unit' button?!"

"...Yes..."

"THIS IS A GAME-CHANGER! TO THE COMPUTER!"

"Cool, bro, Imma sit here and eat your food."

The next day, the inhabitants of the Scout House (and Autumn) were sitting around watching "Paranormal Activity 2" on the widescreen TV.

"Man, this movie sucks!" Bri groaned. They were halfway through the film and she was already bored.

Kay-Kay shrugged. "I don't really like any of the Paranormal Activity movies. There's no suspense."

Meghan sighed. "Yeah...and there's no gore!"

Kay-Kay grimaced visibly. "I don't like those slasher movies you watch. They're not scary, they're just nasty. I like horror movies that fuck with your mind, like Insidious, or The Ring."

"The demon in Insidious looked like Darth Maul!" Meghan complained.

"SHUT UP AND WATCH THE STUPID MOVIE!" Carrie screamed at the girls surrounding her. Scared to death by the raging brunette, they silenced themselves immediately.

All was quiet until the doorbell rang. First, the small white dog with orange spots jumped off of Bri's lap and started barking at the door. Next, people started shouting. "Molly, bad girl! Settle down!" "I'll get it!" "SHUT MOLLY UP, I'M TRYING TO WATCH THE DANG MOVIE!"

Meghan hopped off of her seat and bounded to the front door. Opening it, she greeted the person standing there in German. "Hallo, gutten tag!" she piped cheerily. The delivery boy who was standing there gave her an odd look. "Um...hi...? Is a Kay-Kay Lastname here?"

Kay-Kay hopped off the couch and jogged over to the door. "That'smethat'smethat'smeeee!" she chanted as she reached the delivery boy. If life were an anime, the boy would have sweat-dropped.

"Um, if you could just sign here-"

Kay-Kay snatched the papers out of the boy's hands and scribbled her name in the chicken-scratch that was her hand writing. Then, she shoved the clipboard back into his arms roughly.

"Gimmethepackage!"

Scared for his life, the delivery boy dropped off the box and booked it before he got mauled to death by any fangirls.

"Who did we get?!" Meghan asked excitedly. Kay-Kay shrugged.

"I dunno, I haven't looked yet."

"I'LL GET THE CROWBAR!" Autumn shouted before streaking out of the living/dining room area. Bri did a double take.

"HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CROWBAR IS?!" she shouted after Autumn, but got no response.

Kay-Kay grabbed the manual taped to the crate and glanced at the header. "Oooh, Bri, you'll be happy!" she sang once she saw who the unit was.

Bri scoffed. "Why? I don't even like Het-"

"It's Canada."

"..."

"Bri-?"

"HELL YES! HE'LL SHOW YOU JUST HOW AWESOME US CANADIANS ARE, YOU'LL SEE! HEARTY PEOPLE OF MOOSE, MAPLE SYRUP, AND EPIC-NESS!" Bri continued to rant while Kay-Kay and Meghan resisted the overwhelming urge to laugh their asses off.

Soon enough Autumn returned with the crowbar, and Kay-Kay said she knew how they were going to activate their unit. She turned to Sam, who until now had been painting her nails and texting with someone else's phone. Vaguely Kay-Kay hoped whoever's phone it was had unlimited texting, for their sake.

"Sam, do you have your iPod?" she asked her. The drama-queen whipped said electronic out of her back pocket, while at the same time watching her wet nails.

"Yeah, why?" she asked, looking up from the phone.

"Can you play some Justin Bieber?"

Sam got an evil grin on her face, and the other girls started to panic.

"Kay-Kay, why the hell did you ask that?! Now she's going to kill us all with that crap!" Meghan asked, not trying to hide her disgust at all.

Kay-Kay rolled her eyes. "Just trust me on this. Sam, play the hell-spawn- I mean music."

"I know you love me,"

"Bullshit." Meghan chimed.

"I know you care,"

"Nope." Autumn answered.

"Just shout whenever and I'll be there,"

"I'll shout for you to leave." Bri scoffed.

Soon enough a soft whimpering could be heard from inside the crate. At Kay-Kay's signal, Autumn used the crowbar to open the lid.

"I'm so sorry, I never realized how popular he'd become! I didn't mean to hurt the music industry like I did, I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!" The girls were met with the sight of a crying Canadian, who was apologizing repetitively for releasing Justin Bieber upon the world.

Meghan put a hand on his shoulder in order to console him. "Dude, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes."

"Yeah, like when you dated Zach. That was a BIG mistake." Kay-Kay responded to Meghan. Meghan flipped her off to return the favor.

"Not as bad as when I dated Brandon, King of the Douche Bags!" Bri interjected.

"Well, what about Aaron, aka Captain Boring?" Quincy finished. Kay-Kay couldn't help but laugh at her friend's past failed relationships.

"All the forever-single ladies in this joint, put yo hands up!" she shouted. Only her and Carrie put up their hands.

"Wait, you can see me?" Canada asked as he looked around at the girls. Meghan looked at Canada sympathetically. "Yeah, dude, we can see you."

He blinked, not really sure if he believed her. "And do you know who I am?"

Kay-Kay nodded. "Yep! You're Matthew Mother-Fuckin' Williams, aka Canada."

Canada blushed. "Um, that's not really my middle name-"

"It is now. It sounds cool, plus it has a certain alliteration to it." Kay-Kay interrupted the nation, writing the "name" down on her hand with a pen so she could remember it later.

Briana shook her head at her house-mates. "Is NO ONE going to help this poor guy out of his box?!" She stepped forward and took the crowbar from Autumn hands ("HEY, MY DANGEROUS TOOL!" "MY HOUSE!") and took the side of the box that was directly in front of Canada off, so that he could walk out. The cramped nation stepped out of his box and stretched his aching joints, but not before thanking Bri.

"Thank you, um, what's your name?" he asked as he stretched his arms.

Bri smiled. "I'm Brianna, but you can call me Bri, since everyone else does. I'm Canadian!" she chirped.

Canada smiled. "Really?"

"Well, part-Canadian, actually. I've never really been there, but I like my heritage." she admitted.

Kay-Kay laughed. "Yeah, she wears a maple leaf with pride and honor. Although the traitorous girl apparently doesn't like maple syrup!"

Bri growled. "It's too sweet for me, okay?! You don't like sausage or beer, so I could call you traitorous to your German roots!"

Kay-Kay shrugged. "I'm not denying that at all."

Meghan laughed. "And what if Germany or Prussia were here, what you say, then?"

Kay-Kay grinned mischievously. "Why, 'Ich liebe Deutschland,' of course!"

The next morning, Kay-Kay woke up uncharacteristically early. It was so early that she considered saying, "Fuck the morning!" and going back to sleep, but eventually she dragged herself out of bed.

As she walked down the stairs, she noticed that it was so early that no one was shouting, yet. She'd have to savor this moment. She rounded the corner to the kitchen, ready to make herself a bowl of cereal, but instead found a blonde Canadian (NOT Bri) peacefully making pancakes and listening to the radio.

"Um, good morning." Kay-Kay greeted.

Canada jumped, causing him to nearly drop the skillet that he was holding. He turned to Ka-Kay and smiled sheepishly. "Good morning," he said with a hint of uncertainty. Poor thing wasn't used to people seeing him. "I have some pancakes already finished, if you'd like them."

Kay-Kay smiled and thanked Canada, then took two pancakes and some syrup into the living room. Once she had settled herself onto the couch and poured a sufficient amount of syrup onto her pancakes, she went on Netflix and picked a random episode of Ghost Whisperer to watch. It ended up being "Melinda's First Ghost," which was one of Kay-Kay's favorites.

The episode was nearly over when the others started coming downstairs. Bri jumped down the last few stairs, landing in a secret-agent stance, while Carrie nearly tripped down the stairs in her still-sleepy state.

"Whatchy'a doin'?" Bri asked, poking her head into the living room to look at Kay-Kay. Said girl held up her (now empty) plate and used her other hand to point to the TV.

"Eating some pancakes that Canada made and watching Ghost Whisperer." she responded.

Bri gasped. "You're watching Ghost Whisperer without me?! BITCH! I'mma get me some of them pancakes, and then we're gonna watch it together!" she said before stepping into the kitchen. Just a few seconds later she was sitting on the couch with Kay-Kay and choosing a different episode to start. She eventually settled on the Bloody Mary episode.

After about then minutes Kay-Kay took out her iPod to check her email. What? She's very obsessive when it comes to checking her email every ten minutes or so! When her email loaded, Kay-Kay saw that she had four new messages. One fanfiction update, two spam messages from Writer's Digest, and one message from Flying Mint Bunny Inc. Curious, Kay-Kay opened the last one.

"Congratulations! You have been randomly selected to be a beta tester to our newest product, Nyotalia Units! Simply select which unit you want from the list below, and you will receive a FREE NYOTALIA UNIT! It's that easy!"

Oh boy.

*I have an EXTREMELY annoying voice when I whine. Like, if you watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and remember Rarity's "I am not whining, I am complaining! THIS IS WHINING!" rant...that's what it sounds like. No joke. Also, I eat Chips Deluxe cookies all the damn time, and I was hungry when I started writing this.

**THIS IS SERIOUSLY HOW AUTUMN GOT MY ATTENTION, ONCE! I love her, but MEIN GOTT, she can be annoying!

Oh, and by the way, "Hallo, gutten tag!" means "Hello, good afternoon!" and "Ich liebe Deutschland" means "I love Germany."

I'm also sorry for the HORRIBLY LONG WAIT, but writer's block has been a bitch.
