"How about we make cookies, give them to Tino and tell him that Berwald wanted to give them to him, but he was too shy?"

"Marie, that idea sucks." complained Elizaveta. "And that's the fourth suggestion!" She sighed. "Guys, we've got to do better."

Kiku nodded. "I agree with Elizaveta."

"You always agree with everyone, Kiku." stated Madeline.

"Backup plan!" sang Bella. "We figure out how to lock them in a closet together!"

Lili giggled. "Can we put a camera in there?"*

"I will put one up." Kiku was still talking in his monotone voice, but there was an unusual sparkle in his eyes.

"Haha! Even Kiku likes the backup plan!" Michelle laughed. Her laughter was contagious, and soon everyone was laughing.

"Okay, is everyone done laughing?" Elizaveta asked.

"I think so." replied Madeline.

"So, is it agreed? We use the backup plan?"

There were many cheers and yesses from the group.

"We meet again tomorrow morning. Everyone, come up with a plan."

Everyone nodded. "Meeting adjourned!"


Madeline sat at her desk, lost in thought. "Hm... Maybe we can tell Tino..." she trailed off and stared into space, forming a plan in her head. "I've got it! We can dress all in black... Lock Tino in.. Berwald will help... Likes him anyway.." Madeline spoke out loud as her pencil scribbled furiously across the paper. She jumped out of her seat. "They'll love this!"

Line Break

"So guys, that's the plan." Madeline finished breathlessly, grinning widely.

"Great!" exclaimed Marie.

Elizaveta nodded. "Let's all dress in black tomorrow. If you don't have a hat like that, find one or... Use a scarf or something. Meeting adjourned!" The club left the room to go to their classes. "Hi, Ari!" He was standing outside of the door, looking as if he was working up the courage to do something. He jumped when the first of the club slammed open the door.

"Oh, um... , Madeline..." Ari's face reddened slightly.

"Are you okay?"

"Um.. Yeah..."

"Ari~" He paled. "Big brother~"

"I'm not calling you that!" Ari ran towards the bathroom** as Lukas appeared around the corner.

"But I'm your big brother." He stopped in front of Madeline. "Oh, hallo, Madeline."

"Hello, Lukas." Madeline tried to imitate his monotone voice.

"Have you seen my little brother?"

"Uh... No."

"Jeg ser deg senere." (I'll see you later) Lukas walked away. Madeline looked at the clock. "Shoot! I'm going to be late!" She ran to her locker and opened it, quickly grabbing all that she needed. Madeline slammed her locker shut and spun around, ready to make the dash to her first-period class. But there was someone in her way- a certain white-haired Prussian. "Need a hand?"

Madeline nodded. "But why are you still out here?"

"I noticed my little Birdie flew away, so I came to find her." Gilbert smirked. "Come on!" He grabbed Madeline's hand and pulled her towards their classroom. She held her books to her chest and ran with him, laughing the whole way. The pair made it to the room and slid into their seats just as the bell rang. Madeline whispered to Elizaveta, still giggling from her mad dash through the halls. Alfred gave Gilbert a death glare. The Prussian stuck his tongue out seeming to say, "Can't touch me, 'cause I am awesome!" Alfred crossed his arms and mouthed, "I'm watching you."

Gilbert mouthed back, "I don't care!" Alfred rolled his eyes and concentrated on the lesson.

Line Break

Madeline twitched. She could hear a pair of voices arguing behind her back- And she'd been listening long enough to know that they were arguing about her. She finally grew sick of it. "I think I'm the only person that knows who I like the most!" Soren and Vash stopped arguing and looked at her wide-eyed.

"Who?" they asked simultaneously, then Vash glared at Soren as if he was going to punch the Dane in the face.

"And just for the record, it's not one of you!" Madeline turned around and crossed his arms. Soren started mumbling again, about how "Luke is so much nicer than you..." Madeline took a deep breath. "Soren, shut up." He did shut his mouth, but he crossed his arms and sulked for the rest of class.


Madeline crept up behind Elizaveta. "BOO!" She yelled, grabbing onto her friend's shoulders***. Elizaveta screamed, then smacked Madeline on the top of the head. "Why do you keep doing that?!"

"Because it's funny!" Madeline had adopted an expression rather like Bella's.

"You're so weird-"

"Everyone's weird in their own special way!" Madeline interrupted. "Hey, knock knock!"

Elizaveta rolled her eyes. "Who's there?"

"Interrupting cow!"

"Interrupting cow-"

"MOO!" Madeline burst out laughing at the look on Elizaveta's face.

"Oh, I get it.." Elizaveta giggled.

"Surveillance! Time to creep out Yao and company!"

Elizaveta had to laugh. "Maddie, you're so random!" She ended up going with Madeline anyway. They snuck around the yard, following Yao-the-Senior and his relations- Kiku, their friend, Yong Soo, their slightly younger cousin, and the last two, Mei and Kaoru. They found out that Kaoru was Ari's friend and figured that they could become a later project. Kiku kept looking back at them and sighing. Finally Yao got tired of it.

"What do you want, aru?!" Elizaveta and Madeline looked at each other and then back at Yao, and then they both took off running. Madeline laughed hysterically until they finally collapsed onto the ground by their stuff.

"I love doing that..." The bell rang. "Oh man! I thought we had longer!" The pair trudged inside to their last period.


Madeline silently swung open the door to the Yaoi Club's room. She snuck up behind Elizaveta, who was deep in thought planning who went where while they got Tino into the closet. "BOO!"

Elizaveta shrieked. "Maddie! Again?!"

Madeline was too busy laughing to answer.

"Oh come on, just help me figure this out."


Sneak Peek: "You might not like this now, but you'll like the results." The voice of the person sounded strangely familiar to Tino, but he didn't have time to figure out who it was before everything went black.

*Switzy, your efforts to keep Liecht innocent were futile... Hungary got to her. XD

**I make EVERYONE hide in the bathroom.. LOL.

***I do that to my friend all the time... :3

Ahaha... I'm so mean to you guys. :3 I'll try to get it up soon! Please vote on the poll, only two people have and it's 50-50..

And if you can't figure out what Hallo means, you must be really dense. .

This was going to be how Maddie came in after the death-glaring part:

Madeline sketched the figure of a cat, adding markings around the eyes that vaguely resembled glasses. She darkened the outline and erased the sketch marks. Madeline poked Elizaveta in the arm. "Eliza... Hey, Eliza..." She whispered.

"What is it?" Elizaveta whispered back.

"It's a kitty!" Madeline showed her the drawing.

"Aaaw..."

"Ms. Williams, Ms. Hedervary, is there something you'd like to share?" asked the teacher, annoyed by their whispering.

"Yes." Madeline stood, holding up her drawing. "It's a kitty!"

The teacher sighed. "Yes, Ms. Williams, it's a kitty. Now please sit down and finish your work."
