Aki: Next chapter for you guys. Man, I'm tired. going to sleep. G'NIGHT everyone!
Chapter 6:
"Shame on you, Gilbert." Elizaveta said as she dragged a conscious Prussia through the streets of Tokyo. They had left Russia and America about fifteen minutes ago so they could enjoy their date. Ahh, she knew the two would end up together eventually. It was just a matter of time and how much sexual tension they both could take until they burst. Oh, now that was putting dirty thoughts into her own head. She blushed and giggled suddenly. Lithuania owes her 200 Euros, they had lasted longer than what he had said, and much longer than what Estonia guessed, so he owed her 300.
"That was very rude of you, you know."
He scoffed. "But she was the only one awesome enough to actually appreciate my affections."
"For someone who is back at Germany's house, you have such a big head." She said. She sighed, shaking her head and saying "You're just stupid, aren't you? I suspected as much when we were younger, but still."
"Shut up, I'm not an idiot!" Prussia yelled. Before he could he could come up with a comeback worthy of his awesome-ness, they both heard feet pounding on pavement. Looking up they saw everyone from the world conference heading toward them.
"Hungary, where did Amelia go?" England huffed out before anyone else could start asking questions.
"West? What are you doing here?" Came from Germany next, looking perplexed.
"Elizaveta, what were you thinking?" Was what Austria said.
"I was helping out a friend is all." She replied to Austria's question, then turned to England and said "She just walked off with Russia a few moments ago."
"Where?!" he asked urgently.
Now not many people know this about Elizaveta, (the only exception being Roderich) but she was a little bit of a fangirl ….Okay, maybe a big bit, but like it was stated above, Austria was the only one who knew about it. And she could usually tell when people were trying to tear apart her favorite (at the moment) pairing. And she couldn't let that happen. So she smiled and made a quick decision.
"Amelia said something about wanting to go to an amusement park, and pulled Russia of in that direction." She said pointing to where she could see the peak of a roller coaster. England turned to Kiku.
"How far away is that?"
"About 20 minutes." She said.
"Eh? We're going to ride roller coasters now? I thought we were looking for America?" Feliciano asked in what he thought was a whisper, but came out just a tad bit too loud.
"Japan and I are the only ones looking for her. I haven't a clue why all of you are following us!" he yelled at all of them. And of course this caused all of them, the exception being Hungary, Austria, Japan and S. Italy, to have a giant argument in the middle of the street.
'I'm surrounded by idiots.' Was Roerich's thought as he watched them all.
'Why's everyone fighting now? And what's up with fratello*?' was Italy's thought as he watched Germany fend off his older brother.
'Never again am I offering my home land to house a world conference.' Japan thought as people were stopping to look at the foreigners fighting in his poor street.
'Crisis averted.' Hungary thought as she watched the festivities take place in front of her.
In other news Amelia and Russia were really in a park not too far away from the group of stores that mere moments ago Amelia and Elizaveta were shopping in. Anyway, they were a strolling side by side, with Amelia talking and Ivan listening. And Alfred butting his nose in their conversation, of course.
"—And then Tony called him a limey bastard and that he wasn't going back! It was pretty funny to tell the truth."
"Why would you tell him about Tony?!" Alfred asked her. He had stopped yelling because A) he was losing his voice and 2) Amelia wasn't paying any attention to him anyway, so why should he strain his precious vocal cords?
"I wish I could have seen it America." Russia said to her.
"It's Amelia, cutie. Call me Amelia." She told him, making him blush a pale pink.
"Then I must insist you call me Ivan. It is only proper, da?" he asked looking down at her and taking her hand in his. This caused him to blush a slightly darker shade of pink, but he smiled when she didn't take her hand away.
"Of course!" she replied with a bright smile.
"Of course not." Alfred said with as much venom in his voice as he could muster. Which wasn't as much as he would have liked. Cuz all he could think about was Russia holding his hand, and him smiling and his (female) body inching slightly closer into Russia's side and—
"BAD Alfred! Bad, bad, bad Alfred!!" He screamed at himself. He might've heard a small giggle somewhere in the back of his head, but he was too busy trying to tell himself that he didn't like the evil giant, and that when he smiled for real and not his creepy one that he did in fact look cute- NOT CUTE!!!- And…and…
"GODDAMN YOU AMELIA!!!"
Things continued on this path for awhile before they came to a small lake in the center of park. There was a small body of water that was larger than a pond, but smaller than a lake (Lond? Pake? I dunno). There was a bridge that led to the other side that a few people were on. There were little old women that were feeding fish, small kids jumping around a few mothers watching them, and there was another couple on the other side. That brought a smile to her face as her thoughts wondered.
'Hm, we're such a nice a couple.' Amelia thought suddenly as they started across the bridge.
"We're no such thing." Alfred told her. Then he sighed and said "It's only the first date and-" He stopped as he realized what he said. "I d-didn't mean that!"
'No take backs!' Amelia said quickly before he could get another word out.
"But- I- and…You cheated!"
'Did not!'
"Cheater cheater, pumpkin-eater!"
Before she could say anything else, she saw a little boy that was climbing onto the rail of the bridge. He spun around on the railing, showing off to some other little kids and Amelia got a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. It was the same feeling she got when she woke up on Sept. 11, nine years ago, and the night before the San Francisco earthquake in 1906. Granted it wasn't as strong now as it was then, but it was still there. The feeling that something bad was going to happen around her.
He spun around again, yelling something to someone on the other side of the shore of the body of water they were walking across when his foot slipped. Things slowed down for Amelia then. Her mind blank, she let go of Ivan's hand and went to the boy. She got to him during his decent off the bridge, and as the world speed up again suddenly, she realized that she was too far over the railing to pull herself back up. She tipped forward as the boy wiggled and pulled both him and her down farther. She lost her footing and took the plunge, tucking the boy's head into her neck on the way. Things slowed down again for a moment.
'Oh shit.' She thought as the water rushed toward her face.
"Oh shit is right." Alfred muttered, but he was easily ignored because of the large splash that followed her fall. She twisted her body so she could get her feet under her and started kicking wildly.
'This lake thing is deeper than I thought,' was her first idle thought as she kicked harder. 'What kind of water that isn't part of the ocean is freezing in the middle of June!?' Was the second one. She could hold her breath for a while, (last she checked, she could stay under for two whole minutes before turning blue in the face), but she wasn't so sure about the boy that occupied her arms.
She broke the surface a moment later and started swimming toward the shore she glimpsed at to her right. Removing one of her arms from the boy, she started towards it as fast as she could. By the time she got close enough to stand up, the boy was pulled from her numb arm and she was pulled towards someone warm.
"Вы хорошо, немного подсолнечника*?"
She looked up and saw violet eyes staring at her, concern and amusement crushing down on her. The concern she could understand, but did he think her saving someone from the watery depths of death and destruction on their eternal soul was funny?
"Y-yeah, j-j-just fine." She stuttered out assuming he was asking if she was okay, teeth chattering all the while. "T-that water w-w-was freezing!"
The woman who yanked the boy away from her, came closer and said "Ai tai arigatō, anata hensō shi te tenshi no yō ni shi te i masu*."
"Oh, um..K-kangei*?" she replied not sure if she was saying it right. Before she could say anymore, the boy said loudly "Arigato, tenshi-san*!"
"Y-your welcome." She told him. Her remembering the basic Japanese sayings and phrases she heard from Kiku were lost in her brain somewhere, and she was too freakin' COLD to try and kinda tired now, and she could feel her dress sticking to her skin, making her feel colder than she already is.
"Josei no baai aeru kangei da*." Ivan replied for her, draping his coat over her shoulders . She looked up at him in surprise, both at the gesture and him speaking the language of the current land they were in.
"Y-you can s-speak Japanese?" She asked snuggling into his coat. It was warm, so she wasn't complaining about the sleeves that fell past her fingertips, or the fact that the whole thing fell to her knees. They started to walk away from the water, still talking.
"Da, among other languages. Can you speak anything else?"
"B-bits and pieces of things." She was steadily getting warmer thanks to his coat. "Oh!" she said suddenly, "Здравствуйте, рады встрече с Вами*!" she said with a smile. "That and good bye is about it though."
"Это было очень хорошее*." He replied.
"Ah, I think I just got a compliment."
They started to walk in silence "Amelia, I have a question."
"Ask away."
"Why did you try and grab that boy?" he had a look on his face that reminded her of a confused puppy, it was that cute.
"Cuz I'm a hero…ine. Heroines are suppose to help others, no matter what." She gave him a big smile, then said, "And Even if I wasn't a heroine, I'd still help. I think it's something like a maternal instinct or something."
"…I see."
They walked in silence for a while longer, before they heard "AMELIA!"
They turned to see….
Aki: Mah brain hurts. I'm gonna stop here. Don't get mad at me!!!!
