As he awakes the next day, Gilbert does have to look around. Confused his sight goes around and then to Amelia, who is still sleeping while cuddled at him.
"How drunk have I been yesterday...?"
This thought goes through his head several times.
"Right...Philadelphia, Valley Forge...the war."
He looks back down at her, smirking a bit.
"I would never...with a child..."
His cheeks redden a bit, thinking of this.
"...but looking this way, she's really cute. No Gil, she's a child...but how long?"
He shakes his head to catch some clear thoughts. Waken by the tremor of his shaking, Amelia looks at the Prussia with small eyes, gets red and slides back, so that she falls down the bed.
"Owie..."
Petting her head, she looks at him over the edge of the bed.
"I-I mean good morning!"
Surprised and still tired, Gilbert looks at the girl.
"Good morning...are you alright?"
She nods hastily and gets dark red
"E-Everything fine. I was just shocked when I first saw you"
A small grin decorates the Prussians face.
"Am I such a bad view? And I thought I still look good. Maybe it's my age?"
"Wh-What? That's not what I meant! You look great, godlike, just awesome! I-I..."
The red in her face gets even darker and her stammeling opaque. Gilbert however rolls on his belly and turns to her, so that his face is near to hers. Surprised by his move and the near, she shrugs and backs off.
"You weren't that timid tonight."
He tilts his head lightly and grins.
"S-Stop it! It's embarrassing!"
He crawls towards her again, bracing his hands from the floor, right next to her legs.
"So? You think so?"
An almost mean grin is on his lips.
"I think your reaction is daaaamn cute!"
She squeaks, as he hits her back at the wall.
"C-Cute? G-G-Gil?"
Not able to stay serious, Gilbert starts to laugh.
"I'm just teasing you, but your reaction was indeed cute."
"Y-YOU?!"
With a high red face, she slaps him in the face, so that his head hits the small, wooden bed table and Gilbert falls from the bed.
"Urgh..."
She startles and sits at his chest, petting his head and with a guilty face.
"O-Oh no, I'm sorry, I didn't meant to! Open your eyes, come one!"
Keeping his eyes closed, he starts to laugh again.
"You will surely beat the British Empire with this slap..."
"Y-You jerk!"
She hits his chest.
"Be careful or I'll get revenge."
"Co-Come on! I'm not scared of you!"
An even broader grin is seen, as he grabs her wrists.
"But you should."
Pulling on her wrists, Gilbert gets the young girl down to him and. Near to his face, she gets red again.
"W-What are you doing?"
Holding her, he presses her on him, still laughing.
"Revenge!"
He presses a small kiss on her cheek, before releasing her.
"Now stand up! Dress up, eat and then we train!"
Not fully realizing what had just happened, she nods and stands up.
"Y-Yes sir!"
She runs out of the room, into her own and locks the door to get some clear thoughts. Meanwhile Gilbert stands up and smirks amused, before dressing up. He walks down the stairs to the living room, where Amelia is already waiting, fully dressed. A mean grin is seen on her lips, when she tackles her, so that Gilbert crushes on the ground.
"REVENGE!"
Totally surprised he looks at the American girl.
"Seems like you know blitz attacks already."
With a smirk she stands up and walks in the kitchen.
"Well, I've learned from the best."
Flattered he stands up, blushing lightly and sits down at the big, wooden table.
"That's true my dear."
Happily she serves a little breakfast.

After the breakfast, they walk out of the house. The air is fresh and you can smell the ocean.
"Alright!"
You can hear a rough tone in his voice, when he stops and turns around.
"I will start with teaching you, how to fight with a sword. It's not so important anymore, but when the musketries stop working, you will be happy to know, how to wield a sword. At first, draw your sword."
She does as he says and draws her sword.
"Standard pose!"
Gilbert takes a battle pose, where he holds his sword in front of him. Amelia does the same but shivers lightly.
"No, not like this! Argh, Amelia wait!"
He sticks his sword in the ground and walks next to her.
"Look, I show you."
Gilbert presses on her and leads her arms. They move together, so that she can learn the motions. With red cheeks, she smiles about every new lection. Whenever Gilbert had shown her a new combination, she imitates it immediately. But sometimes she makes it wrong on purpose, so that he does have to show her again. They train like this for ours, until Gilbert decides to test her.
"I think you know the basics."
Again he takes his standard pose.
"Come on, come at me. I want to see what you've learned."
Hesitating she nods and attacks him. It's easy for Gilbert to block it and he tries to counterattack it, but it is distracted to the side. Surprised he gets a hit in the stomach and falls forward.
"Argh...that was good..."
Grinning he jumps back and takes position. Making a step forward, he attacks again. He feints right, but attacks with the sword in his left hand. Talented as she is, she blocks it and hits him another time. He falls back and crushes on his back, raising dust. Both start to cough, but soon it turns into laughter. Amelia kneels down at Gilberts chest and sticks the sword into the ground, next to his head.
"I guess I've won!"
He nods and stretches his arms to the side.
"You're a natural talent. I haven't expected this,"
She leans closer to him and grins.
"What is my reward?"
"You will win the war?"
Lightly pouting, she looks at him.
"I mean from you, for being such a great student?"
He sighs lightly, but smiles.
"I will think of something, okay?"
With a broad grin, she nods happily.
"Yay! But it must be something great!"
"Okay, okay, I will surely find something."
Happily she jumps around his chest.
"I will hope so!"
Finally she gets off of him and helps Gilbert to stand up. The Prussian dusts off and looks at the girl with a tired expression.
"We should take a break. You've learned many things today."
Smiling she takes his hand and drags him with her.
"Let us forget the war for a moment and have some fun! Sometimes you need some fun!"
Hesitating a bit, he finally nods.
"Sounds good. It would be good to relax a bit."
Together they leave the camp.
