Hello once again! I actually stayed up a bit later than usual (last night) to type this up, so I'm really sorry if it sounds rushed (I mean, I did go over it a few times to edit/revise, but it was pretty much done Thurs night instead of over the whole week like I usually do). My new school's been very stressful. The school's gigantic, and I keep getting about 3-5 hrs of homework every night, if I'm lucky. Usually, it takes longer. Anyways, thanks for all the support so far! I don't own Hetalia, but that doesn't matter because I can write fanfics! Anyways, read, review, favorite, and most of all, enjoy!

It's been a few days since it happened. Not much has happened though. We haven't gone on "dates" or anything. Just sort of hanging out awkwardly at the house. I don't want to hold his hand, let alone kiss him. He's probably looking for another chance to tackle me down for a kiss. Hell, I don't know what he's thinking.

I flop down onto my bed, almost in the exact same position as I was when Dan kissed me.

What the hell do I do now?

Before I could answer myself, I was interrupted by an abrupt ringing.

No one picked it up after 5 annoying rings; I finally give up. "I'll get it!"

"…Hello?"
"Hello, who's this?"

"Norway. You looking for someone?"

"Not really. I just wanted to talk to one of the five of you. England called me earlier to tell me that Spain called him, and told him to spread the word, so here I am, telling you to try to do my part as the hero! There's going to be a carnival tomorrow. All profits go to Spain. He came up with the idea since he's tired of making roses. At my place. See, I'm the hero so I offered to host the big 'party'. All the food, drinks, and games will be provided by ME! Just come on by anytime between 8 AM and 10 PM. There'll be an awesome fireworks show as the finale right at 10!"

"Thanks, but I don't think we'll be going. We've been busy the past few days."
"I usually don't take no for an answer, but whatevs, if you insist... Just know that you can drop by whenever, alright? Well, see ya there! Bye!"

"Bye."

I put the phone back down, and think to myself. A carnival, for "fundraising"… Hell, he didn't listen to me when I said no… I guess I'll just be a no-show.

I walk down the stairs, humming a simple tune to myself.

"Legends and fairytales, elves and mythical creatures, the three billy goats—"

"Hey, Icey!" I hear Denmark calling after my brother. I walk into the dining room, and there he is again, chewing on some licorice.

"What?" he replies, not taking his eyes off of Puffin who had been stealing the licorice from him.

"So there's a carnival tomorrow, since Spain needs money!"

"What the hell? Were you eavesdropping?" I don't want to go. I don't want Denmark to ask Ice out. Why would he? What had happened to me and Den being together and shit?

"I couldn't help but to do it! I picked up the phone same time you did. And if I hung up then you'd hear a click and I didn't want to disturb your conversation! So I just listened the whole time. We should all go! It'd be fun!"

"N—"

"Sure." Ice replies.

"What?" I ask, surprised. Why would he want to go?

"Why not?"

"Because… Because… I wanted to keep Denmark all to myself," I lied. What the hell was I saying?

"Why would you want to do that? Besides, I'm thinking I can go and maybe ask around for tips on how to attract more tourists."
"And I wanna go 'cuz it'll be a ton of fun! There'll be super-fast roller coasters and other carnival-y stuff!"

"And that's exactly why I don't want to go. If you haven't noticed, I'm not much of—"
"OOH I wonder if there'll be a Ferris Wheel!"
"If there is one, I claim the first ride!" Puffin yelled out. "What's a Ferris Wheel?"
"It's a round wheel that goes around and around," Denmark replied. "It'll be a ton of fun. Usually, it lights up at night when it's dark, and you go up high in the air! You'll have an awesome view!"

"So is it decided?" Ice asks as he finishes the last of the licorice.

"Yeah!"

They all looked at me expectedly, but I remained silent. "Don't you wanna come with us, Norge? You're my boyfriend now, too! Let's go show it off!"

Ice stares at me intently with an uncertain expression. I know he's probably yelling at me in his mind, but I have no idea what telepathic messages he's sending. For a few moments, I think about it, weighing the pros and cons.

If I go, I could probably sneak a ride with Ice while Dan's off doing retarded things. But on the other hand, he'd go around screaming to the whole world about us. I don't want that. But then again, if I do go, I'll probably have the opportunity to show off to Ice and win his heart… Ah, dammit, why are decisions so hard?

"So… You coming with us or not?" Ice asks me, wrecking my train of thought.

"I'll think about it." I reply. I'm rewarded by a smile from Ice, but I don't know why he smiled. Maybe he didn't want his big bro to go with him and harass him; maybe he was actually glad that I didn't say yes, since he knows I'll take every opportunity to corner him into submission… Or maybe he simply doesn't like me anymore…

So what'd you think? I have no idea if you noticed the whole "Norge"/"Dan" thing. After RPing with some friends, I started picking that up. I'm also in the process of writing a fic I randomly thought of, and a few more, since... It's complicated. I'm not promising any uploads, but just as a heads up. Thanks for readin, guys (and girls)! It'd be awesome if you left a review, since I feel like no one reads these anymore (my friend that always reads these, she says "ok later"... all the time.. T.T)

Anyways, until next time, hasta luego! *uses actual Spanish I learned in class*
