"So, what pasta based dish are we making to day?"

England asked Italy

England had been taking Italy's cooking class for nearly three weeks and the two had started a friendship of sorts.

Italy had developed a bit of a crush on England while she remained blissfully unaware.

Italy blushed.

"Actually I'm sorry to say but we are not making pasta to day" Italy said sadly

England was very shocked by this

"What! But I thought you loved pasta!" said England

Italy blushed again.

"Yes, well I have this friend from Germany who told me I can't make every class about pasta so he and a friend from Japan are coming to watch the cooking class today and make sure I don't make it about pasta" Italy said sounding depressed.

'So Japan and Germany are coming' England thought

England patted Italy on the back.

"Don't worry about it you can always make pasta tomorrow any way I'm looking forward to meeting your friends" England said reassuringly

'Even though I've already met them' England thought to her self.

Italy smiled and blushed again

"Yes, well I'm sure you'll like them, and hey Alice! You know how you like tea?" Italy said

"Yes, I am quite aware of that" England replied

"Well my friend from Japan loves tea so could you make some?" Italy said hopefully

England beamed

"I would be delighted to, the only two things I like more than drinking tea is making it and serving it" England said with a glint in her eyes

Italy smiled

'Wow she's really cute when she gets all excited like that' he thought to him self.

"So, if we are not making pasta what are we making today if you don't mind me asking" England asked

Italy smiled and winked.

"That is a secret," he said

. . . . . . .

It was then that Italy's phone rang so he went to go answer it

"Hello" Italy said

"Hello Italy" Japan said on the other line

"Oh, hi Japan! Why are you calling me? Are you excited about my class?"

On the other end Japan was standing in his hotel room thinking it was nice to here Italy so happy even though he is always happy.

"Yes I'm am very excited Italy" Japan said kindly

"I knew you would be! So why are you calling?" Italy asked

Japan sighed

"Well Germany wanted me to tell you some thing" Japan said

"Oh really! Germany wanted you to tell me some thing! What is it? And why can't Germany tell me himself?"

Japan sighed again

"Well Germany is taking a run to try and calm him self down that conversation you had with him last night it seems it may have raised his blood pressure quite a bit" Japan said

"You mean the conversation where he told me I can't make pasta this lesson?" Italy said sadly

"Yes that's the one"

"Is his blood pressure thing going to be ok?" Italy asked

"Yes it is, Germany was just upset because you two got in a fight and you were being usually stubborn about giving up pasta this one lesson" Japan replied

"But he wanted me to give up pasta" Italy said sadly

"I know Italy but is only for one lesson" Japan said

"So! What did Germany want you to tell me? Has he changed his mind about me teaching pasta this lesson?" Italy said hopefully

Japan sighed

'Oh great now I have be the one to disappoint him' Japan thought

"Not exactly he did want me to talk to you about the cooking lesson though" Japan said

"Really?!" Italy said excitedly

"Yes but, he wanted me to remind you that you can't teach anything even remotely related to pasta this lesson" Japan said

"Oh" was all Italy said back

"Italy…" Japan began to say before he was interrupted by Italy

"Japan?" Italy said

"Yes Italy?"

"Why does Germany hate pasta? Why? I love them both so much I just want them to get along"

Japan sighed

"Italy Germany does not hate pasta he just thinks that you talk about it too much" Japan tried to explain

"So he is jealous?" Italy asked

"No its not that it is just, well it is complicated" Japan said

"I don't understand" Italy said

Japan sighed again.

'It is reasons and situations like this which are the reason why I enjoy refraining from speaking and sensing the mood' Japan thought to him self.

"Well let us change the subject shall we" Japan began to say

"I am looking forward to meeting this girl you have been talking about"

At this Italy immediately brightened up.

"Oh, yes your going to love her, her name is Alice she's from England but she's staying here in Scotland with her brother for a little while and she really likes tea. She is not that good at cooking but she is really improving, she likes fairy tails and has a really cute smile and she…."

"Yes, yes, Italy you have already told me this" Japan said

"Oh, I'm sorry Japan" Italy said

"No I am sorry for interrupting you it was very disrespectful of me please except my apology" Japan said apologetically

"You don't need to apologize Japan" Italy said

"I am sorry" Japan said

"You apologized again" Italy said

"Sorry" Japan said again

"There you go again!" Italy pointed out

"Sorry"

"Japan!"

"Sorry"

"Japan please stop" Italy begged

"Sorry Italy I think I should hang up now"

"Ok Japan good bye see you and Germany at my class" Italy said happily.

"Good bye Italy" Japan said

. . . . . .

A little while later Italy met up with Germany and Japan just as Italy's cooking class was about to start.

"Hi Germany, Hi Japan" Italy said

"Hello Italy" Japan said greeting him

"Ya, hi" Said Germany

"So you remember I said no pasta today" Germany told Italy

"I know, I know" said Italy

"Well, you will sit at the side when I teach so enjoy yourselves" Italy said excitedly

"We will Italy" Japan said

"Oh, one more very important thing" Italy said

"When you meet Alice you have to promise me some thing" Italy said

"What?" both Germany and Japan asked

"You have to promise me you won't fall in love with her" Italy said seriously

In spite of them selves both nations smiled slightly

"We promise" both nations said

It was then that England walked up to them.

"Oh hey guys this is Alice" Italy said excitedly

England smiled

"Hello as Feliciano said I'm Alice and you must be his friend it's a pleasure to 'meet' you" Said England

"I made you two some tea it is chamomile but I added a bit of rose water as it makes the tea sweater and also makes the tea smell heavenly, Feliciano said you like tea so I hope you don't mind" England said with a smile handing them the tea.

"Thank you" Germany said

"Thank you" Japan said blushing slightly

"Your quite welcome, oh it looks like the lesson will start soon it was nice 'meeting' the two of you" England said before leaving

With that England left to go to the cooking lesson and as Japan watched her go he thought one thing.

'Promises are overrated any way'
