Alfred went up to the door when he heard the thud. But then he saw a rubbish bin staggering around the street that had a drunken Nyotalia Prussia in there. "OH MY GOD IT'S A WALKING TRASH CAN!" screamed Alfred quickly and then ran upstairs. Arthur got up. "What is it?" he said "I thought I heard someone crash against the door" "I vas vondering zhat" replied Ludwig. Arthur then got spooked as well. "IT'S A WALKING BIN! IT'S OSAMA BIN LADEN IN A BIN! AAAAAAAAAA!" he screamed and then ran upstairs as well. "OH NO!" yelled Francis "SOMEONE STOP ZIS TRASH CAN!" and he also fled for cover.
Ludwig went to the window. "It's upside down you idiots!" he rumbled "I don't know vhere zhe lid is however..., but zhen who zhe hell crashed on our door?" Julchen however looked through the holes to where Nyotalia Germany had crashed on America's door, lying on the ground, dazed and bemused. Russia had a look. "Vell" he said "It looks like zere is some woman lying on ze ground, is she okay?" Monika began to mumble "Stupid Julchen" she mumbled.
Julchen however staggered around towards Alfred's drive. But then she stopped to vomit, again. "Argh...my stomach seems not to be as tolerant to alcohol as Gilbert is" she mumbled in the bin and then staggered on towards Monika. Alfred looked from the window. "Holy crap! That thing has puked on my driveway?!" he gasped in disbelief. "That thing is an abomination!" gasped Arthur. But then he began to think. "Was it something that Tony has been up to?"
Ludwig went outside and to his surprise, he saw his female counterpart lying on the floor still dazed and confused. "Are you alright zhere?" he asked to the big tall woman who was on the floor. Monika looked around and then she faintly saw Ludwig. "Wer bist du?" she murmured faintly as she saw the big German man that was in front of her. But then Julchen in her rubbish bin sneaked up behind Ludwig who bent down to Monika. She sprung into action. "WIE GEHTS?! AHAHAHAHA!" She laughed as she slapped the note onto Ludwig's back and then scurried away quickly. Russia had seen it. "Oh God, it is her!" he gasped and then went to alert Alfred and Arthur.
Ludwig took the note off his back, but that alerted Monika. "JULCHEN?!" she yelled and then got up and chased her in the trash can, to Ludwig's surprise. He then had a look at the note that had the exact same four words that he had been pranked with earlier. "Leck Mich am Arsch"
"VHAT ZHE HELL IS ZHIS?!" yelled Ludwig as he saw the same joke that had been posted on his back earlier being posted again by one of the Nyotalia nations. But then he saw the rubbish bin and then Prussia himself who was staggering around the street. Monika saw trouble coming. "VORSICHT!" she yelled to Gilbert and Julchen but then the collision occurred. Julchen crashed into Gilbert who then fell down on his back, and then Julchen rolled out of the trash can. Monika was not amused by it. "Idiots" she grumbled.
"ACH...ow!" gasped Gilbert and then he saw the drunken Prussian woman roll out of the bin. Ludwig saw it as well. "OH NO IT'S JULCHEN!" he grumbled as Ivan walked out to Ludwig. "Zat is not a good vay to be on New Year's eve" he said to Ludwig. "Vell Zhis New Year's eve is more fucked up zhan I hoped it vould be" replied Ludwig to Ivan. "Hey, Alfred!" called out Ivan. "Do you see your fiancée around here?" Then Alfred had a look out of the window. "Holy Crap, it's the Nyotalia nations?" he gasped. He could not believe what he was seeing outside.
"This seems to be a load of New Year's Eve Chaos" said Arthur in disbelief. "I was not expecting that at all" "But hey" replied Alfred "Maybe it will turn things around...as you know who may turn up" Alfred gave of a cheesy smile on his face. "It would be a nice new year's resolution, as you struggled to come up with one earlier" Arthur sighed. But he did not exactly get at what Alfred what hinting at.
But of course, later, after Russia had left to give his new year message and celebrate New year, of course Nyotalia England and America turned up. Alfred went up to the door. "Alright!" he giggled "It's the two that we've been expecting!" Sure enough, Alice and Emily jumped into the house. Alfred took a moment to hug his fiancée while Emily however went into the room where Arthur was. "Oh...it's you?" said a surprised Arthur when Emily came in. "Yeah it's me!" laughed Emily. Arthur seemed to turn his eyes away shyly.
Alice however walked into the room with Alfred by her side. She then sat down next to him. She had been a bit unsure about the marriage proposals at first but not as unsure as Arthur is. "Well" she said "I just wonder what Arthur thinks of this proposal" "Ah well...I think he's making his mind up about it" replied Alfred as Emily's heart began to pound like a drum. "Please...please...I love you Iggy" she squeaked.
"Emily don't get so saucy about it" said Alice "Remember what I said?" But of course Emily was too excited. "We were talking about the proposal together of course..." said Alice to Alfred "But like you, she seems to get all saucy when it comes to all that fuzzy stuff that we're gonna get ourselves into soon"
Arthur looked back to his female counterpart and Alfred. Alice was not as touchy feely as Alfred was but she did try and snug in close to him, at least for her it was as much as she would do. "Go on" whispered Alfred "Iggy, are you gonna make your mind up?" "Umm...I...do...not...know...I...am...erm..." stuttered Arthur who was extremely unsure. Emily then put her hand on his shoulder much to his surprise. "Whoa...ummm...I need time to think about it..." he said quickly and moved away from Emily. "Well make your mind up Iggy!" said Alfred. "Don't be so saucy" replied Alice to her future husband. "Let him decide!"
Arthur's head began to pound. He was not sure, but then Alice did have the nerve to accept the proposal to Alfred. His brain began to bang his head while one part of him said 'Yes' and another said 'No'. He had to choose one or the other. Emily's heart however seemed to seize up in anxiety as she waited for the answer.
Then Arthur shyly took Emily's hand. "I...feel...as...if..." he stuttered. Emily's heart started up again when she felt the hand. "Iggy?" she asked with sparkles in her eyes. "I...am willing to see how it goes" replied Arthur "I'll give you a try first before we decide whether to marry or not" Emily felt somewhat overjoyed. "Are you sure?" she asked "We shall have a trial period before we make a decision" replied Arthur. Emily felt very happy and then she jumped onto Arthur and hugged him. "I love you" she whispered happily but Arthur was not quite ready to say the same even though he hugged Emily back.
"Well..." said Alfred as he saw the scene. "Seems like you're willing to try it out?" "Yeah but don't get to saucy" replied Arthur "I am only trying her out first" Then Arthur realized something "At least it's not France" he murmured to himself. "It would be terrible if that happened" As he said that, Emily seemed to fall asleep on his lap like a cat while still having her arms around him. Her eyes seemed to fall closed and she slouched against him.
"Whoa steady on" said Arthur who was just at the beginning of the trial period. "Mmmmmnnnnnnnnnng" hummed Emily softly as she of course was feeling more warm hearted than Arthur was as she snuggled up to him warmly. Alice looked on from where she was. "At least he did say that he would try her" she commented.. But then all of a sudden, the lights went out and the electricity went off. "Crap!" exclaimed Alfred and got up, leaving Alice bemused. "I forgot to pay my electricity bills this year!" And with that he had to rush off to the bank.
Alfred had a look at his watch. The bank was due to close for the New Year at 4pm EST so he effectively had to hurry to the bank. "Aw Jeez!" he cried "The bank is gonna shut in 25 minutes!" With that he sped out of the room like a jack rabbit and out into town. Alice looked somewhat baffled, and as the light was fading, well they could see but it was getting dark.
"Well..." sighed Alfred "He seems to spend his money on hamburgers more than he does on his energy bills" "But he does pay his gas bills..." replied Emily. Italy was a bit scared that he was now in the darkening light. "Germany, Germany!" he cried "I want the lights to go back on! I want the light to go back on! I don't like this...ayayayayayayayayayay!"
"Shut up!" replied Germany firmly who was not in the mood for Tom Foolery "Zhe lights have gone out since stupid America forgot to pay his electricity bills, and zhere is nozhing ve can do about it until he has paid zhem bills..." Italy was still somewhat frightened that the lights had gone out all of a sudden. Francis was a bit stunned as well. "Oh no..." he gasped "I did not expect zis to happen when we are waiting for our new year to come about..." It seemed rather confusing, but Australia, Japan, Russia and China had left, the latter of which had left in a huff because of Prussia's drunkenness.
"Vell" said Ludwig to the others "I am pretty sure zhat he has managed to pay his gas and heating bills. I vill go and see..." and then he tried to turn the gas hob on but then no gas game out. "Was?" he spluttered "Come on you stupid gas hob!" But then there was no gas coming out from the hob either. Along with a possibility of no electricity to ignite the hob. Ludwig found a lighter in the kitchen drawers, not to light cigarettes, no Alfred does not smoke, you know what I mean.
"If zhis does not vork, zhen zhat Dummkopf has done it again" grumbled Ludwig as he attempted the gas hob with the lighter this time. He tried and he tried and he tried. But no gas came out, nor there was a single flame. "ZHAT IDIOT!" grumbled Ludwig. "HE FORGOT TO PAY HIS GAS BILLS AS VELL!" Emily gasped as she could not believe what she heard about her male counterpart forgetting to pay his gas and electricity bills. "That's crazy!" she protested "I always pay my bills but why in the heck did he not pay his this year again?! At this rate he is gonna get his ass handed to the cops or something!"
"Vell" replied Ludwig "He seems to spend his money on Hamburgers instead, so he does not leave spare money for his bills, zhat shall teach him a lesson zhat he vill not forget" Alice felt like leaving but Emily convinced her to stay. "Well, am I gonna get cold or what?" grumbled Alice "This seems to put our marriage plans on some kinda tightrope" "Maybe you can help him pay his bills and spend his money on responsible things" replied Arthur to Alice. "That way he won't have this thing happening to him again" Emily began to fell a rush of adrenaline through her. She went to get her bat.
"No no no no...please don't!" said Alice quickly to Emily "What do you think you were gonna do, seriously, you don't wanna be beating Arthur up when you're both together eh?" "You're right there" replied Emily and put her bat down and sighed. "I just hope Alfred is gonna be okay with this"
