While dragging poor Canada through the woods, Alex stopped by a large tree to take a break. Who knew that dragging a cat around could be so exhausting? She plopped down under the tree while her companion gracefully-seeing how he's a cat-lower himself beside her. Gosh, she seriously hated that cat at the moment. How dare he get more grace than me!

"Alex," Canada tugged at her shirt, "Look at that!"

Canada was pointing to what looked like a silhouette.

"What do you think that is?" Canada asked, cuddling with her arm.

Alex glared at the little creature hugging her arm. He was purring. How dare he purr! Wait! Was he sniffing her arms as well! Oh hell no! That was her limb! She doesn't need his coodies all over her! Alex growled, giving Canada a death glare. Canada froze, feeling an icy chill run down his back. He slowly let her arm go, with a frown on his face.

"I don't know what that thing is, but as you can see, I don't care. Why don't you go up and say hello?" Alex asked, smirking devilishly.

"Okay!" The naïve cat-man said and he pranced toward the silhouette. Good, Alex thought, go get eaten by that thing. With this I can finally get rid of you. Muhahhahahahh!

"Come on, Alex," Canada said as he came back to drag Alex with him.

"What?! No, you stupid cat! You're ruining my evil plan!" Alex quickly grabbed onto a trunk of a tree.

"Come on," Canada whined as tried to pry Alex off.

"Noooo, I don't want to die!" Alex cried, wiggling, before managing to kick Canada in the face. The cat-man cried out as he fell to the ground. "Why are you doing this anyway?"

"To follow the shadows!" Canada said cheerfully, rubbing his nose. Alex stared at the cat-man. His tail was slowly going bath and forth. He almost looked like a dog…

"You're kidding right?" Alex said, her voice a bit… what do you call it… pissed?

Her reply was a small nod from the cat-man.

"Are you kidding me? Have you not seen those movies your sister and I watch? Never, ever, ever follow shadows or strange things! Do you want to get murdered cat-man? Huh? Do you?!"

Alex continued to verbally abuse the poor cat-man.

"B-but," Canada started, "What else are we going to do?"

Alex glared at the cat-man and thought about it. She could either stay there with the annoying cat or she could follow the silhouette and either a.) get the cat killed and she will be free of him or b.) get killed and be free from the cat. She thought about it then sighed. "You're leading the way then, if anything happens, you're the first to die got it?"

Alex smiled darkly at Canada who gulped and nodded, "Okay."

So, the two started down the path, not knowing what will happen to them. Alex was hoping that she would finally be freed from the cat. A girl can dream, can't she?

They kept walking and walking, going deeper and deeper into the forest. Canada kept looking around, getting distracted by the birds flying above them. He stopped when he realised Alex was giving him a stare. It was a normal stare, but it still sent shivers down his back. After a while of walking, the path suddenly ended. It seemed like they had reached a dead end and was lost in the woods.

"What now?" Canada asked. He slowly turned around to face Alex, frozen at the sight of her.

Alex was holding a fairly large stick in her hands, she was smiling deviously. Canada took a step back. "A-Alex?"

Alex raised the stick in the air and then threw it in Canada's direction. "Fetch!"

Canada's eyes widen with joy and then he instinctively chased the stick. He jumped into some bushes and about two minutes later, his head came popping up with the stick in between his teeth.

"I did it Alex!" he said, glowing with pride. Alex swore she saw roses in the background. How in the world did they even appear?! Alex just knew that this land was making her crazy. If she was going to be put in an asylum, she will be making sure her sister get a hold of that cat. She was going to bring him down with her.

Alex glared at Canada, unimpressed. "Are you sure you're a cat?" She asked, "You seem more like a happy-go-lucky dog to me."

"I'm a cat!" Canada yelled, indignity, "I'm a full-fledged cat!"

Alex smirked, "Prove it."

"Meow,"

"Idiot! Anyone can meow! That doesn't prove anything!"

"B-but Meowster,"

Alex cringed at the sound of 'Meowster'. "Don't call me that!" Alex started pulling on Canada's ears. "I'm not your Master."

"But you're the sister of my owner," here he shudder at the thought, "which by law of the Society of Cats makes you indirectly my master!"

"What kind of law is that?!"

"It's a law our noble king, Sir Meows-a-lot created!" Canada winked, "I don't know if you could tell, but he meows a lot!"

Canada started to laugh hysterically while Alex could only deadpanned.

Suddenly, they heard a laugh coming from the bushes.

"Heheh… That's pretty funny~! HAHAHAHAH! Meows-a-lot because he, heheheh, meows a lot, hahahha~!"

"Shut up! You're going to blow our cover you ba-"

"Don't worry about it~!"

"What do you mean don't worry!"

Alex and Canada stopped and stared at the bushes. Strangely, the bushes were shaking like crazy and it sounds like two people were fighting.

"Look! They're looking our way~!"

"You gave it away you b-"

"Shhhhh! They're coming this way~!"

Alex and Canada slowly walked towards the bushes, "H-hello?" Alex said. Right as she said that, two men popped out of the bushes. They both had different shades of short brown hair. One of them had a darker shade of brown than the other. They both had a large curl on the side of their heads and looked like brothers.

"Who are you guys?" Canada asked,

The one with the darker hair scowled, "Hmph."

Alex rolled her eyes, "Who are you?" She asked.

Seeing how Alex was the one to ask, the one with the darker hair smiled. "My name is South Italy, and this is my brother, North Italy!" He said, pointing towards the other man.

"It's nice to meet you~!" North Italy said.

"And we're the tweedle brothers!"

Alex covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

"Hey!" Canada yelled, "Why did you answer her, but not me?"

South Italy glared at Canada, a glare that was similar to Alex's.

"Ah, you see," North Italy began, "For some reason my brother doesn't seem fond towards guys in general~!"

"Anyways," South Italy began, "I have a story to tell, so listen up!"

Everyone, including North Italy sat in front of South Italy.

"This story will teach you this really important life lesson. I will also be taking questions. Once upon a time, there lived a rabbit-"

"What kind of rabbit~?" North Italy interrupted.

"A white one, anyway, this rabbit-"

"Why can't it be a black one~?"

"Beeeecause I said so. Back to the story-"

"I think a black one would be better~."

"Shut up, you bas-"

"Language!" Canada shouted.

"I'm trying to teach these two a lifelong lesson here! STOP INTERRUPTING!"

"WAAAAAAHHH~! South Italy is yelling at me again!" North Italy cried as he randomly took out a white flag and start waving it.

"What did I say about the white flag, brother?!"

"AAAAAHHHH~~!"

Slowly, Alex and Canada creeped backward, awkwardly leaving behind the two brothers. They both disappeared into the forest, walking forward, not knowing what they would find next.

It was then that Alex realized something. DAMMMIT, THE CAT IS STILL WITH ME!
