Alright everyone, you know what I'm going to say...
I still own nothing except for Rose(Texas).
Texas: Damn right... She may be one of my citizens, but she just barely bought a cowboy hat.
Myst: What does that have to do with anything?
Texas: *shrugs*
Myst: Anyways, enjoy everyone.
The next day proved not much different, except for the fact that someone seemed to have removed the alcohol from her home. Her fingers moved to her temples and rubbed lightly, eyes closing as a sigh of frustration slipped past her lips. Texas figured that Alfred had likely taken the alcohol in an attempt to better her health, even though everyone was constantly trying to get the American to eat better himself. Apparently, to Alfred, there was a huge difference between alcohol and artery-clogging junk food
The country in question soon burst through the front door with a soda in one hand and a burger held in his mouth. Greasy food and high-sodium drinks as a diet made the male an enigma. None of the countries could understand how Alfred was still as thin as he was. Since his diet consisted of mostly fried foods, sweets, and hamburgers from fast food restaurants, his current figure defied all logic. The only thing that indicated his diet was a bit of fat not far above Florida.
"What do you want Alfred?"Rose asked, looking at the male for a moment.
Texas had quickly become used to the country randomly popping into her home unannounced. After all, she still belonged to the United States and that meant she belonged to Alfred. He did not really treat her as if he owned her. Alfred often treated her as if she was a sister rather than a child. This made Texas feel better, especially since she was technically older than him.
Still, Rose was somewhat unsure about making the choice to stay with him on some days. Though, there were likely some good times involved as well that she couldn't remember when she was upset with him. She had learned not to play the secession card, Alfred seemed to either panic or get very quiet whenever she said she wanted to leave. Despite her outer displays of annoyance towards the blonde, she supposed she actually did care about the goofy teen.
"Ah, Texie… I was hoping you would come over and help me with a barbeque." He said, smiling the entire time.
Despite the downturn in the economy, America was pushing on with a bright grin and his usual attitude. Texas had to admit that she admired him at least a touch, since she considered such an action to be rather brave. Standing tall in the face of uncertainty and pressing on even though things might not work out were sometimes rather strong qualities in a person. Though, she supposed that was likely the American mindset, it was hers as well. She would fight until the bitter end if something were to happen.
"You know that is one of my weak points. I can't let you end up burning beef, now can I?"Texas said, grinning at him. "I'll bring the beef, hamburger and steaks sound good to you Alfred?"
"That sounds great!"he said, grinning brightly at her."Then I'll see you this Sunday. The others will be arriving around twelve, so be there whenever is best. I'll leave you with the planning for grilling."
The male soon moved for the door, a bright grin on his lips as he thought of the barbequed beef. Steaks, hamburgers, brisket, all thoughts guarunteed to make his mouth water uncontrollably.
Once Alfred had left, she sighed softly and headed outside to check the pit. She oiled the wheels, clearing any rust from the outside and pondering repainting it and burning the inside clean before Sunday arrived.
Hopefully you'll give me some reviews, I don't quite mind criticisms either.
