How Prussians Annoy Floridians

By DCoL

Case-In-Point 9: Skype

When Prussia's laptop went off with the video call ring tone, he was surprised to see that the person calling him didn't originate from someone in Europe that normally called him.
He gladly tapped on the mouse and up popped the head of Florida.

"Told ya I'd call you on Skype," she said with 'matter o' factness'.

"Well it took you long enough; I had to get stitches!" Gil whined dramatically, revealing two stitches near his left temple.

"Gees, did Eliza do that much damage?"

"Yeah! The Awesome Prussia shouldn't have to wait or get stitches!"

"OK both of you stop arguing," Francis cut in.

"Yeah, we're here too," Spain sighed.

"Opps," both blonde and albino said in unison.

"My bad," Jez smiled. "Anyway, we have a lot to get caught up on." The next hour was a brutal one; all three boys and the one girl blabbered on and on about what they had missed when they were apart. Christmas was a hassle in Florida's place, since all her family insisted on coming to her house. All of Europe, Spain explained, seemed to have agreed to meet up at Greece's place that year.

"It was crowded as heck!" Spain complained (rationally though). "You may have a bunch of brother and sister states/territories; but when you're related to most of Europe, a mass of countries that still don't particularly like each other, Las cosas pueden ponerse feas"

"I get ya," Florida replied, understanding Antonio. "Francy, how 'bout you? You think the same."

"Yes," sighed the other blonde.

"Well Christmas for me was not awesome," Prussia said dramatically. "As you don't know Jez, we asked the three girls out after the party 'cause none of us had anything awesome to do but me. But before we did that we had a smashing time; literally."

"What did you destroy? I overheard Lizzy talking with Al on the phone 'bout you three messing up the place," Jez asked blankly.

"Well we set a tree on fire."

"Seriously? I heard it was a couch."

"Are you calling me an amateur?"

"I hope she isn't calling us that," Antonio smiled teasingly.

"Maybe I am!" The four laughed, not taking anything serious. Another hour passed as the four friends passed the time with their joking laughter and occasional crushing blows. Day after day had passed and none of them had been able to hang out; this is what they all needed. Missing the past couple holidays had made them all really depressed (well that's what happy-go-lucky Louisiana told his sister). But when you have a family of fifty or more, you have to of course attend to this family daily when anything political comes up. Ah bien, Jezabel thought. It doesn't matter when I'm talking with these guys.

"Oh hey, Jez; I forgot to tell you!" Prussia all of a sudden said. "I'm staying at your place for the week!"

"Pardon, I think I heard you wrong," Jezabel laughed, cleaning her ears. "Did you just tell me you were coming here for a week?"

"Well Alfred and West arranged it. There's a conference in New York for the countries only, so I'm not invited. And apparently I'm not to be trusted home alone anymore. Can you believe they doubt the awesome Prussia?"

Jez's face was as blank as Sweden's. "Um sis, you ok? I'm guessing you didn't know," Spain asked, sweat starting to form.

"No. No I didn't know." And with that, Florida ended the Skype chat

(PS, Jezabel had a calm 'talk' with Alfred about how rude it was to plan things without permission, and Elizabeta was finally released from her house arrest :D)

Dear Readers,

Yes I know this is overdue: don't rat me out. I didn't really know what to write so, meh; here ya go.

Translation (Spanish):
Las cosas pueden ponerse feas- Things can turn ugly
Ah bien- Oh well

Love,
