Hungary: The Burn

I was just fine, being asleep, but no, I have to have the world's worst alarm clock.

"I AM AWESOME PRUSSIA!" Gilbert yelled. I reached for the first solid object I could reach and threw it. Nailing him in the head with a satisfactory clunk. I sat up and picked up my dress. I walked over to Gilbert's closet and pulled out one of his exercise tank tops.

"Gil, where's your bathroom?" I asked.

"The door on the opposite side of the hall," he replied from the ground.

I walked out into the hallway and saw America sitting on the sofa.

"Good morning America," I called, walking to the bathroom.

"Morning dudette!" the obsessive nation called, snickering.

I got dressed. Gil's shirt was only slightly too big, so it looked alright under the uniform. I heard a knock on the door, and figured it was Ludwig, making sure Gil actually got up.

"Liz!" Michelle yelled. "Help! I have your uniform and pan, but Valley Girl over here won't let me through!"

"Like, am not! " Alfred whined.

I laughed and emerged from the bathroom. I went into the living room.

"I'm good Michelle, this one-" I started before Michelle interrupted saying something about the dirt on the uniform. I was too busy trying to find Gilbert, who was no longer on the ground.

All I caught was, "You have to wear this one!" before she shoved the stuff towards me, under Alfred's arm.

"Dudette, like, if you wanted to get close to me, you only had to like ask." he smiled at her. She rolled her eyes at his innuendo. "You're soo weird!" she scoffed.

I walked back to the bathroom and changed, again, only I kept Prussia's shirt on. I walked back into the living room, kitchen area. Gilbert was still missing.

"Have you seen Gil-" I started before he yelled.

"I am awesome!"

I just laughed at him. He missed a button and tied his tie wrong.

"You may be awesome, but you're still dumb as a post sometimes," I laughed. Fixing the buttons on his shirt.

"Haha dude! She's totally feeling you up!" Alfred laughed.

"Michelle, please hit the American," I smiled. I started working on tying the tie. Prussia just stood stiffly.

"Will do," she said before whacking Alfred on the back of his head. "Fiddlesticks! I'm late! I have to go guys, see you later!" With that, she ran out of the house.

"There, now you look better," I smiled.

Gilbert just huffed and asked, "What is your schedule?"

"Class 1: Introduction to Cooking. Class 2: Geometry Honors. Class 3: Remedial Hour. Class 4: Academic Sciences. Class 5: Study hall. Class 6: English. Class 7: Basic World History." I replied.

"Haha dude! We have science and remediation together!" America smiled.

"I think the only difference if the math class for us," Gil replied, trying to ignore the american.

"Well, class starts at 8, and it's only 7, Wanna go get something to eat Gil?" I asked.

"Yes, but If I see Austria I will invade his vital regions!" Gil yelled, putting his fist in the air.

"You are one of the weirdest countries I know," I smiled, before we went out the door, I yelled, "See you America!"

"See ya around Dudes!" America smiled. Gil lead me out the door and we were walking down the paths of the houses. I had my backpack and fry pan, Gil had his bag slung over his shoulder. I saw austria walking the opposite direction as of, we were going to pass.

"Good morning Elizabeta," Austria smiled kindly, making no hint of the injuries he gave me, "Are you ready for breakfast?"

Gil stepped in front of me protectively.

"What, are you going to keep me from my girl friend?" I stepped around Gilbert and stood right in Austria's face.

"Don't you remember? You said, "This is over!" Just before you Hit me!" I started yelling and felt a fire in my chest. We started gathering a crowd and Austria did something I didn't expect.

"I'm truly sorry Elizaveta. That was a terrible thing I did and I'm sorry, is there any way I could possibly be taken back?" Austria asked.

I was dumbfounded, I just stared at him. I nodded, Austria really was the gentleman in my life. But how will I tell Seychelles? I thought. Austria offered me his arm and I took it, waving a brief goodbye to Prussia. Austria and I just went to the school cafeteria. I got scrambled eggs and toast, he got fruit, cheeses and bread.

"Why did you want me back?" I asked, smiling that Austria was here again.

"When you really care about someone you always come back, no matter how treacherous the path may be to get there. I really care about you Elizaveta," he smiled. After we finished eating, he checked his pocket watch, "May I walk you to your first class?"

"Sure," I smiled, taking his arm. He walked me to the cooking class. I was about 5 minutes early.

"I'll see you after class mein Spielzeug Schlampe," he smiled sweetly. All I understood of his german was "my".

"Bye Austria," I smiled walking into the class. To my surprise there was actually a student there before me. "Gilbert, is there a teacher here?"

"Her name is Miss Churchill. She moved from England, and she's out getting ingredients to stock the classroom." Gil replied, looking at the door.

This must be a small class if there is only one teacher's counter and 6 student's tables, presumably paired up 2 to a table.

"Can I work with you Gil?" I asked.

"Yeah," he sighed, staring intently at the door.

"Gilbert, what's wrong?" I asked, trying to meet his gaze.

"He hurt you, and you still go back?" he muttered. "Do you really have that deep of a connection with him?"

"What are you-" I started.

The warning bell rang and the teacher and other 10 students walked in. Ludwig and Felicity were in front of us, Eduard and Toris next to them. Kiku, Sadie, Hailey and Mei were split at 2 tables. The last table had noone. Either the class is all here or Natalia is chasing Ivan around, I thought.

"Welcome class, this is Introduction to Cooking, and I'm Ms. Churchill. To assess your talents, I would like each pair to create a dish. The dish could be anything, sweet, savory, international-"

"Awesome!" Gil chimed in, making everyone laugh.

"Yes, if it can be cooked, it can be anything," Ms. Churchill smiled. "You have 45 minutes, and go!"

"Gil, what would you like to make?" I asked.

"Wurst and potatoes?" he offered.

"Sure if you start the wursts I'll work on potatoes," I said.

"Deal!" he smiled. I got some potatoes, a knife, and a pan and a small sauce pan. And cheese and heavy cream. I started slicing potatoes. I started melting cheese in the saucepan with the cream. I aligned the potatoes going around the pan. Gilbert was working on boiling the wursts in some type of beer. I got a spoon and tasted the cheese sauce.

"Gil, would you taste this, it's missing something, but I don't know what?" I said as gave him the spoon.

"It tastes fine, you always think it's missing something, don't you?" Gilbert laughed.

"Yeah," I smiled pouring the cheese sauce into the pan with the potatoes. A little bit splashed onto my wrist. I put the pot down and went to the sink, carefully rinsing the burn with water.

"Use warm water, otherwise it'll feel worse later," Gilbert smiled, turning the knob on the faucet.

"Thank you Gil," I smiled, pressing a paper towel to my now tender wrist.

"I put your part of the dish in the oven, and I'm almost ready to start grilling the wursts, is your wrist alright?" he asked, walking me back to the table.

The class ended nicely. Lithuania and Estonia made some rice pastries called 'mochi' that looked like some countries, but I couldn't distinguish them exactly. Kiku, Sadie, Mei, and Hailey made a variety of rice balls representing their countries. Ludwig and Felicity made ravioli filled with wurst sausage. The bell rang, dismissing the class, and Austria walked me to my next class. Geometry went by fairly quickly, though I was sitting next to Ivan, so I was petrified. The bell rang and Austria wasn't there, so I walked to the library for the remedial lesson Gil was teaching me. Gil was in the back corner, compared to his usual being the center of attention.

"Gilbert? Are you alright?" I asked.

"Why did you take Austria back, after everything he did?" Gil asked.

"I just. . . it's like an addiction, I know I shouldn't, but he's always such a gentleman," I replied, "I think we better get started with my german remediation."

"Alright, first off, are there any words that jacka-Austria used that you'd like to know?" Gil asked.

"Um, Mein Spielzeug Schlampe, I think that's what he said," I replied.

"He called you his slut toy," Gilbert growled.

"You're lying! You're only saying that because you hate him!" I tried to argue.

Gilbert tensed up, his jaw clenched, "What. Class. Does. He. Have. Now?"

"I think he's in science now," I replied, confused.

"Come on we're going to make sure he really meant what he said," Gilbert growled, pulling my wrist. We stormed out of the library to the science hall. Austria was sitting in the back of the classroom, looking over his music sheets. He was sitting next to Ludwig, they no doubt finished their work, or were doing nothing important in the class.

Gil looked at Ludwig and motioned that he needed them outside. Ludwig raised his hand and he and Austria were dismissed.

Gilbert stepped away from the door and after they came out Ludwig asked, "What did you guys need?"

Gilbert went right up to Austria, "Did you mean what you told Elizabeta?"

Ludwig leaned over to me, "What did Austria say to you?"

"He said, 'Mein Spielzeug Schlampe,'" I replied quietly.

"Of course I meant to call her beautiful, stupid Prussia," Austria sighed. "Are you alright Elizabeta?"

"She's fine, but you won't be!" Gilbert spat in his face.

"Wait, what does it mean Germany?" I asked.

"'Slut toy, or Toy slut, depending," Ludwig sighed.

"I-is that true Austria?" I asked, tears slipping down my cheek.

"Look at this, you've made her cry now, come here, you're eyes will get puffy," Austria smiled, holding his hand out.

Ludwig put his hand on my shoulder, "Don't go for-" Prussia punched Austria clean in the face, most likely breaking his nose. Ludwig finished, "ward."

"It's really hard to show my love when you keep lying and making me seem like the bad guy," Austria snickered, a little blood trickling from his, certainly, broken nose.

I believe you Germany, I believe that is what he said, but on the off chance you're wrong. . . I started thinking. Austria stood up and faced Gilbert again. Austria pulled out a small spool from his pocket, and pulled a cord from it. I took a step forward, Austria poised himself behind me, the thread across my neck.

"Do you believe what Germany and Prussia said I said?" Austria purred into my ear.

I put my shoulders back, "Why shouldn't I? After all, they are german, and I've know Prussia so much longer than I have you."

"Funny, you say it like that, because I've heard this interesting rumor saying you were cheating on me, with Prussia, last night. Now, we can't have that, can we?" Austria sighed, waiting for my reply.

"You're right, I shouldn't be cheating on my love, the one that means the power to my life," I replied. "Would you release me please?"

He moved the wire, and I ran down the path, right into the girl's bathroom. I looked in one of the mirrors and saw a little trickle of blood on my throat. A drop fell into the sink, and I started crying. I crumbled to the ground and felt a little woozy. I closed my eyes and was woken up by someone tapping my shoulder. I blinked and couldn't move my head.

"Veee! Natalia! She's alive! Come over here! We need to get her to the nurse!" Felicity started rambling. Natalia crouched down next to me and put my arm over her shoulder.

"Da, do you feel alright Hungary?" she asked.

"Gil. . . ?" I asked.

"Vee? She doesn't know?" Felicity asked.

"Felicity, no ones seen her since 2nd class, just look at her shirt, she'd had to have been here for a while," Natalia sighed, waiting for Felicity to open the door. We walked to the nurse and about 1/2 way there I saw, well heard, Ludwig.

"Felicity, Natalia, did Michelle come find you guys?" Ludwig asked, taking my other side. I felt Natalia starting to tremble.

"No, we haven't seen her," Felicity started, "How is Gilbert?"

Michelle must have been in the nurse's office because I heard the faint ring of the door from a ways away. "Ludwig?!" she yelled.

"Felicity, you and Natalia go ahead, I'm going to fill Elizabeta in," Ludwig ordered.

"But-" Felicity tried to argue.

"Da, we're going Germany," Natalia sighed, pushing Felicity along.

"You must have a nasty cut if your shirt has blood on it," Ludwig started. "But, After you ran off, Gilbert went to follow you when Austria went after him. Gil has cuts all over, major and minor, and he's only worried about you. He passed out because of some blood loss when we got him to the nurse." He kind of chuckled, "We all thought you were dead."

I sighed very quietly, "Do you remember what I said. "I shouldn't be cheating on my love," and I-I don't love Austria."

"Zhen vhy don't you leave him?" Ludwig asked.

"I-I'm afraid he'd hurt Gilbert," I replied, coughing. I felt a little blood roll down my neck.

"Vhat about you? Vhat vould happen to you if you keep vith Austria! You vind up broken and he leaves you? Or, you vind up dead because he beats you?" Ludwig started.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Prussia talks in his sleep," Ludwig sighed. "You're really a lot to him. He's even called you 'Awesome'."

I smiled, we were coming up on the nurse's office and my vision started going spotted. By the time I got to the door, I had a ringing in my ears. I started zoning out, but caught enough of Natalia yelling, "Austria get the heck out of here before I murder you many times over!"

I was out for quite some time before I felt something in my hand but felt it nearly impossible to move. I slowly closed my hand and felt something cold. I heard the door close and heard Natalia, "Ludwig, would you please step out for a moment?"

"Ja," Ludwig sighed.

"Liz, are you awake?" Felicity asked.

I opened my eyes and moved my hand to my neck.

"Be careful, it could break open," Felicity sighed.

"Where's Gil?" I asked. "And Austria?"

"Austria, what a jerk! Why didn't you tell us any of this before?" Natalia asked.

"I don't need you guys worrying about me," I sighed. "Where's Gilbert?"

"He had to go to the hospital to get stitches, but he did leave something for you," Felicity smiled, looking at my hand.

Michelle walked in the room, and shut the door behind her. "How's the patient doing?" she asked softly, looking around Belarus and Italy to see me with stitches across my throat.

I tried to push myself up and when I was in a sitting position I looked at what was in my hand. His metal cross, he left his little metal cross with me, I thought. I felt a tear drip down my cheek.

"Prussia just texted me, he said he needs a ride from the hospital. He also asked if you would come, Liz," Ludwig said, sticking his head in the door.

"Uh, ok," I replied, trying to stand up.

"Is that such a good idea? She's just recovering from massive blood loss." Michelle asked.

"I-I have to go, I have something to give Gilbert," I sighed, holding up the cross. I got to my feet and slowly made my way to Germany. We started walking out to his car.

About half way to the hospital, Germany said, "I zhought Austria took zhat in the fight, not zhat he gave it to you."

"Germany," I started.

"Ja?"

"Did you beat Austria up after all of that?" I asked.

"No, vhy?" Germany asked, pulling into the hospital parking lot.

"Just curious is all," I smiled, "Can I walk up to get Prussia, alone?"

"Ja, if you want," Germany sighed. I got out of the car and saw Prussia standing at the entrance to the hospital.

"Gilbert!" I yelled, waving. He started walking towards me, his red eyes fogged over.

"Liz," he breathed.

"No derp awesome one," I smiled, once he was in front of me. his face was covered in all kinds of bandages and he had a few stitches on his neck, and thick bandaging on his wrist. He put his arms around me, pulling me into a hug. Something I wouldn't have expected him to do.

"Austria is a real bastard," he sighed before yelling, "And, I AM AWESOME!"

"Yes Gilbert you are awesome," I smiled, putting the metal cross in his hand. We walked silently to Ludwig's car.

"Bruder, you alright?" Germany asked.

"Awesomely, as always!" Gil smiled.

"And Liz, Michelle called, to make sure you were alright," Germany sighed.

"May I borrow your phone Gil? And do you have Austria's number?" I asked.

"Yeah, and why do you need his phone number? Gonna tell Michelle you're with Awesome me?" Gil asked, pulling out his phone.

"I just want to show him something, appeal to his human nature," I sighed, taking his phone. I pulled up Austria's number, and saw numerous threats that if Prussia still hung out with me, Austria would personally kill him. I started the text message, Look Austerlitz, meet me outside the school in 10 minutes. PS: This is Hungary, or to you, the 'slut toy' who keeps running. I sent the message and gave prussia his phone. "Thank you Gil," I smiled.

Gil's first reaction was to look at the message I sent. "VHAT! DO YOU WANT TO DIE? I'M NOT LETTING YOU MEET HIM ALONE!"

"Whatever," I sighed. "Germany, when we get back to school, would you go get Michelle and bring her to the front of the school? I don't care if Felicity and Natalia come too, I'm going to need witnesses if Austria tries anything."

We got back to school and Gil and I were waiting outside the school. Germany went to find Michelle.

"Why did you even want to challenge Austria?" Gil asked.

"He doesn't own me, I'm the one who should have a knife to his neck," I replied.

Gil just chuckled, "You really haven't changed much since we were kids, have you?"

"What do you think?" I smiled.

Austria stepped outside and smirked, "What? did you want to show the Dumb Prussian who you really belong with?"

I took a step away from Gilbert and saw Michelle and Ludwig on the other side of the gate. "Austria, I wish to know how to express my love, in German, how do I say 'I love you'?" I asked.

"Ich liebe dich," Austria smiled.

I walked up so I was right at his face. Gilbert was muttering, and Michelle was probably cursing me out. "Austria, Ich nicht liebe dich." I smiled.

"Liz, what-" Gil asked. By now Felicity and Natalia were standing at the gate. Just a few more seconds, I thought, then the bell dismissing the class rings. Ring, ring! Countries started filing out of their classrooms and some came over to the gate.

"Now, Austria, everyone knows we've been dating for nearly a year now, right?" I asked. There were murmurs of agreement.

"Well, I'd like to show you what this bastard has done not only to me, but one of the strongest, most Awesome people I know," I sighed, pulling Prussia into view.

There were small gasps from the crowd and Prussia smiled, "Yes, I know I'm awesome! But guys, Austerlitz over there has been doing this and worse to Liz-er-Hungary."

Austria looked right into my eyes, "I'm sorry, I swear I will change, I just need love!"

"You said that before too, and look at what happened! You hurt not only me, but the awesome Prussia as well, so I won't regret doing this," I sighed, kneeing Austria in the stomach.

Gilbert pulled me away before Austria got up, we went into the office and I sighed. Austria quickly entered the office too. Gil stepped in front of me "Touch her and I will slaughter you like I should've done when we were kids!"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her, I just need to get rid of an annoying little bird," Austria sneered, taking a step towards Gilbert. Austria went to hit Gil, but was pinned to the ground.

"You're a terrible fighter when you don't have any weapons," Gil laughed.

"Back avay from my brozzer!" Germany yelled.

"Sup?" Gil asked from the ground.

"Oh, now you learn to fight!" Natalia growled.

"Well, you know, it's easier to fight when he isn't using piano wire at my neck!" Gil yelled, "Just a moment."

"Wait, what will knocking me out do for you, Prussia?" Austria asked.

Prussia pushed his hand up under Austria's jaw, "Absolutely nothing." Prussia stood up, letting Austria stand up.

"Get back you bloody barbarians! Revenir!" Michelle yelled.

"Barbarians? Hardly. Open up, love. Our mate's in there and we want to help him out. You would know a thing or two about helping friends, wouldn't you Michelle?" someone smiled, Arthur.

"I hate you with every fiber of my being!" she growled.

"Oh, stop with the dramatics sweetheart. The world doesn't revolve around you."

"Michelle! Vhat are you doing, letting those rats in here?" Belarus scoffed.

"I'm sorry!" Michelle mumbled, staring at the ground. Natalia looked at her weirdly, before glaring at the two egotistical males that just walked through the doors.

"You two can show yourselves out, I'm fine," Austria sighed, straightening his tie.

"Wait," Gil said. Everyone turned to look at him, and he turned to me. He put his arms on my waist and kissed me. My eyes widened and fluttered shut, my arms around his neck. He pulled away and looked Austria dead in the eye. "Now, get lost."

"Aww!" Michelle squealed, before blank-facing. "Wait! Ew! Gross!" she covered her eyes with her hands. "Congrats Liz! Really, I'm happy, but it's just so nasty seeing my friends kiss!" she said childishly. Natalia chuckled and Felicity was jumping up and down in excitement.

"Vee!" felicity exclaimed.

"Since you can't see me rolling my eyes, just know that I am. It's not like you were fighting it or anything." Michelle smirked, her eyebrows raised.

"Come on mate, let's get out of this snog fest." England sneered. Austria, Romano and England left.

My face turned bright red, "Its not like I had any choice! Really! I-" I crumbled to the ground and asked, "Did he really just. . ."

She nodded, her hands now by her sides. "Oh yes he did!" she said sassily, snapping her fingers with each word in a star shape.

"Due to some events on the school campus, we would like all students to return to the housing units. We will announce when lunch is. Thank you," someone said over the intercom.

"Let's go! Girl's night!" Michelle whooped. "Er-afternoon!" she corrected, blushing.

"Yeah!" Felicity smiled.

"Sure," Belarus shrugged.

"Gilbert, I'll find you for lunch?" I asked.

"J-ja," Gil replied, stepping away from me. Everyone started walking away and I stood next to prussia.

"Gil," I started.

"Huh?" he asked.

"Nothing," I smiled.

"Liz," he started.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Would you like the awesome me to walk you back?" Gil asked.

"Would the awesome you like me to walk you back?" I asked smartly.

"Just come on," Gil smiled.

"I really owe a lot to you," I sighed.

"Huh?" Gil asked.

"Hey, are you guys coming or not?" Michelle called over her shoulder.

"Yeah! We're coming!" I yelled in reply.

We walked back, staying a few paces behind the others, I would be faced with something when I got back to the girls. Gil kept make off the wall comments about how awesome he was when we were kids. Michelle stopped us at the door.

"Ok, kiss and say goodbye or whatever, because Liz is going to be all ours when you're done, capeesh?" she asked, waving her finger at us and giving us her best "strict mother' impression. Her lips were in a tight line and her brows were bunched together.

"I'll see you later," I smiled.

"See you later!" Gil smiled, running back to his housing.

Michelle pulled me inside and locked the door. She pushed me into the living room where the others were sitting in a semi-circle, if you can call 2 other girls sitting there that.

"Um, Hi," I smiled awkwardly.

"Hi? HI?" Michelle screeched. "You just got kissed by your childhood sweetheart, and all you can say is hi?!"

Natalia laughed.

"Yes," I replied, sitting next to Felicity. "All I can say is hi."

Felicity nodded, "Vee! What was it like? Dis is probably really stupid, but was it your first kiss? Are you guys going out now?"

Natalia rolled her eyes, "Guys! Let the girl breathe!" she scolded. "Besides, I zink ve all ave 'beans to spill," she added, putting quotes around 'beans to spill'.

"Actually, this was my 2nd kiss, and I don't know. Maybe we're going out now," I replied.

We were all talking over each other, chittering like chickadees.

"Aw! Vee! Dat is soo romantic! I wish my first kiss is as romantic!" Felicity swooned.

Michelle grinned, chuckling. "Such a good thing Ludwig is such a softie, huh?"

Felicity looked up suddenly, red as a beet. "What?! Ludwig! W-who said I liked him!?"

Belarus snickered, "No one had to say it, sweetheart. It's written all over your face."

Felicity covered her blushing face in her hands. "Is not!"

"Is so!"

"Not!'

"Is!"

"Not!"

Michelle laughed, doubled over. "O-ok g-guys. L-let's c-calm d-down n-now!"

"Besides Natalia, you're not one to talk. Acting like you don't see the crush Lithuania has on you," I snickered.

"Vhy would I like someone weak and spineless like him?" Natalia asked.

"He's strong enough to want to love you, while being Ivan's territory," I added.

"Plus, opposites attract," Michelle added with a shrug. "In every romance novel, the bad boy goes with the good , obviously you aren't a boy and Toris is obviously not a girl, but if you reverse the roles, it's basically the same thing!"

"If it were Poland, I wouldn't be so sure, but anyway, I think today we should ask our crushes to lunch," I smiled.

"Vee?" Felicity squeaked nervously. "We haven't heard who Michelle likes yet!" We stared at her.

"What? Oh nonono. I don't like anyone," she said shakily, waving her hands in front of her and shaking her head.

"Fine then, We'll set you up with someone," Natalia sighed.

"Theres America," Felicity shrugged.

"No, why not someone not so player-ish," I started, thinking it through, "That really only leaves Estonia, Kiku or Arthur. I'm thinking Kiku honestly."

"Yeah, 2 island nations!" Felicity smiled.

"Yeah, I think that could be cute," Natalia smiled.

Michelle rolled her eyes. "Mei likes Kiku though. That would be totally pute of me," she added, slipping in a French profanity. "But sure, why not. It can't hurt to just sit with the guy. I'll ask Mei to sit with us too."

"That works," I smiled. "Now, we should organize where we're going so we don't ruin it for the others."

"Hm, we could go get Mexican food," Natalia said.

"Yeah! And we can go get pizza! There's a new one that just opened that I wanted to check out!" Felicity added.

"And me, Kiku, and Mei can go get sushi!" Michelle exclaimed, grinning like a little kid on Christmas. "What are you going to do, Liz?"

"I was thinking I could cook something here, besides I need to get some groceries anyway," I smiled.

"Well, let's go shopping! We can get some new cute outfits for our dates later!" Michelle exclaimed excitedly.

"I wanted to get the groceries with Prussia, but I don't mind shopping for our dates," I smiled.

"Awesome!" Felicity and Michelle squealed at the same time.

"Come on! Let's go! Let's go! Lunch is going to be soon and who knows how long it will take to find the perfect outfits! The first impression in the most important, you know, so it's essential that we find these clothes!" Michelle continued.

Natalia and I were afraid, but stood up.

"Alright, where do we go?" I asked.

Michelle thought for a moment... "Hmm what about World Meets Girl? It has tons of cute clothes and totally cool prices!"

"Never been, but, alright?" I said, pretty much a question.

"Well, come on!" Michelle yelled, pushing everyone out the door. Natalia and I just let ourselves be pulled out of the door. We started walking towards the town center, where all of the shops were.

"Just don't make me look like some baby doll," Natalia sighed to herself.

"Omg! There it is! Let's go! Let's go!" Michelle squealed, dragging us over to a big store with glass windows shows off high end fashion. There were manikins with short skirts and v necks. That scared me because I knew Michelle would try to get me into outfits like that.

"Just don't make me look like a babydoll," Natalia sighed.

"Oh all right. I think you'd make a cute babydoll, though," Michelle sighed, pouting. "I'm at least putting you in skinny jeans though!" she yelled, happy once again. She ran into the store, knowing just where to look for everyone's outfits, no doubt.

We followed her in, it took a little effort to find her amongst all of the clothing racks."Felicity! Come here! I found you something!" Michelle called, holding some embellished jeans with a cute high low top that showed some tummy.

I was beyond petrified to see what she wanted to put me in, but Felicity was ecstatic when she saw the outfit. She ran off towards the changing rooms.

"Liz! Come look at this!" Michelle called. I turned towards her and saw a skirt kind of like our uniforms, except it was camouflage and had silver chains looped on the hip with 2 black belts crossing each other, a nice black tank top with embellishments all around the neckline. and black ankle boots to complete the outfit, if getting me in a skirt wasn't enough..

I hesitantly took the outfit and went to go get changed to try it on. Felicity was looking in the mirror outside of one of the stalls.

"That's really cute on you Felicity," I smiled, before walking into the dressing room.

"Aww! Feli! You look so cute! That looks really nice on you," Michelle squealed.

Felicity giggled and spun around. "You think? What do you think Ludwig will think?"

"He won't be able to keep his-" Michelle started before changing her mind, "compliments to himself."

.Felicity giggled, blushing. "I hope so."

Michelle turned to Belarus, "Alright. I'm thinking something fierce, with a cute feminine touch so you don't scare him off."

Natalia rolled her eyes. "I ave no idea vhat you mean. But I am trusting you, Michelle."

Michelle grinned, "You won't regret it."

I changed into the outfit Michelle picked out, and poked my head out the door, "Natalia, Felicity, what do you think?"

"I think you need to show us," Natalia sighed.

I stepped out of the dressing room, "Well?" Michelle was coming back with an outfit for Natalia.

Michelle ran over and joined in the other girls looking me up and down. She wiped fake tears from her eyes. "You look so beautiful!" she said in a weepy tone.

Natalia grinned wickedly. "Yeah, I'm not sure how Prussia will keep it to himself."

Felicity looked at us confusedly. "Keep what to himself?"

Natalia burst out laughing and Michelle shushed her. "His, um, awesomeness, Feli."

Felicity nodded, "Ohh ok!"

"I feel like a piece of meat," I mumbled, before saying, "Natalia, you go change, and Michelle you need an outfit too."

"Well if you really don't like it..." Michelle trailed off, frowning. "Besides, I'm not going on a date. I hanging out with Kiku and Mei, which means I'll just be the third wheel and matchmaker."

Natalia grumbled and went to go change while Felicity ran off to go buy her outfit.

"It's a nice outfit, but What if France or Spain see me?" I asked.

"You be inside though. Unless for some odd reason they show up in our house." Michelle pointed out, rolling her eyes.

"But if it'll make you feel better, I'll buy it." I sighed, "And I'm going to be walking in town for groceries, remember?"

"True, but you guys could be super ninjas and not get seen," Michelle looked at lip gloss, picking it up and trying it on. "What do you think?" she pursed her lips and made an exaggerated model pose.

"Nice color," I started.

Natalia cleared her throat, "What do you think?"

"That looks amazing!" I smiled.

"Aw, Nat! You look gorgeous! Now, with your hair straightened and a black smoky eye, the look will be complete!" Michelle smiled.

Felicity popped up from behind us and squealed. "Vee! You look so cute!"

Michelle jumped, before rubbing her ears. "Geez, make us go deaf why don't you," she teased.

"I'm going to go changed back and buy the outfit," I sighed, going back into the changing room.

"Ok," Michelle said. I emerged, wearing my school uniform.

Michelle looked at her phone as I was getting out of the dressing room. "We have to hurry! It's almost time for lunch!" she yelped. "I didn't even get to do you guys' makeup or hair! Oh well! We'll have to go natural today girls! Let's go, let's go!" she urged us, practically dragging me over to the cash register and the others to the door. I bought my outfit.

Before we left, I asked the cashier, "Where's the bathroom?"

He just pointed to the hall on the left.

"I'm going to go changed back," I sighed, going into the bathroom. I went back out to join my friends. Felicity and Natalia were wearing their new outfits too.

"Ready to go back to school?" Natalia asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I sighed.

"Vee! Let's go!" Felicity smiled. We all walked back to school, splitting our separate ways. Natalia went to Toris's housing, Felicity to Ludwig's, and Michelle to Kiku's. I went to my housing first, so I could get a bag for the groceries, and so I could put the uniform in my room.

"Excuse me?" someone asked in a british accent.

"Yes?" I asked, turning around.

"Does Arthur Kirkland live next door?" The young boy asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you, but yes, England does live next door," I replied. "Why?"

"Oh, I'm Peter, also called Sealand," the boy laughed.

"Well, nice to meet you Peter, I'm the nation of Hungary," I smiled, "Did you need England?"

"No, I just wanted to tell him I sold my self on E-bay to Sweden, so I'm no longer his," Peter smiled.

"I think you better just go find Sweden, I don't think England would be glad to see you," I sighed, walking out the door and locking behind me.

"Awe! But I need him to recognize me as a nation!" Peter whined.

"Trust me, you're best not being a nation, the others can be downright nasty. If you want we can see if America is in, you know him don't you?" I asked.

"Yes! He's like my big brother! To America!" Peter laughed, pulling me down the path before stopping, "I don't know where he lives."

I pointed to the house right next to mine, "He lives in there." Peter ran up to the door and I was just a few paces behind him. He was violently knocking on the door. America came to the door in a white shirt and khakis.

His eyes stopped dead on me, "Woah dudette, What happened to you? You're hot! Yo Prussia!"

Prussia yelled, "The AWESOME me isn't coming out!"

"Hi America!" Sealand smiled.

"Sup little dude, what brings you here, aside from the babe?" America asked the small boy.

"May I go see Prussia?" I asked.

"You can try, but he's been in a rotten mood since whatever happened in the office," America sighed. "But little dude, wanna go get some burgers?"

"Yeah! I hate Arthur's cooking!" Peter smiled, pulling America by the hand.

"Later dudette!" America called.

I walked in the house and called, "Prussia?"

"Yes?" he called from his room.

I poked my head in the door, "May I come in?"

"Sure," he sighed, staring at his wall.

"Gilbert, look at me," I said, sitting next to him. He looked at me, and I asked, "Why are you in such a bitter mood?"

"You said you didn't have a choice on kissing me," he sighed bitterly.

"Well, how would you feel if the person you loved just randomly kissed you in front of your enemy?" I asked.

"I guess-" he started. I cut him off and kissed his lips.

"Oh honhonhon," France laughed.

"Way to go Prussia! Who's the chick?" Spain asked.

Prussia started turning bright red when I pulled away. I turned around, "Hello France, Spain," I sneered.

"Mein Gott," Gilbert mumbled.

"WHAT!?" France and Spain yelled out.

"Yes, what do you two want?" I asked as Gil got over his shock.

"We-uh saw him upset when the crowd dispersed and wanted to make sure he was alright," Spain replied, gulping heavily.

"Well, are you alright Gilbert?" I asked, turning my head to look at him.

"J-ja," he stuttered.

France and Spain were standing behind me, "I will beat your brains out if you're trying to look down my shirt."

They tried to run out the door but got stuck next to each other. Gil stood up and pushed them through the door.

"Coming Liz?" he asked.

"I actually wanted to know if you wanted to come do some grocery shopping, and I could cook when we get back to my place," I said, so only he could hear, at least I thought.

"Oui, I'd like something to eat," France started.

Gilbert put his arm around my shoulder, "I'm pretty sure this isn't an open invitation France."

"Oh honhonhon, someone's in love," France laughed.

"But we agreed that we'd stay single!" Spain whined.

"Shut up. Anyway, come on Liz," Gil sighed. "The awesome me is hungry!" Gil and I walked to the market, no doubt being stalked by Spain and France.

"What do you think we should have for lunch?" I asked, stopping in front one of the vendors.

"Well, wurst is always awesome, but let's try something different," Gil started. "Why not potatoes?"

"You go make sure France and Spain don't fall out of that tree, I'll get us something that will be good for lunch," I smiled.

"What?" Gil asked, turning around to see France and Spain perched up in a tree a few yards behind us. "Mein gott, those two are idiots!" he yelled, running over to the tree.

I turned back to the vendor, starting to look at the fresh wursts they put out. The vendor was an older woman. She smiled, "He seems quite charming."

"He has his moments," I smiled, picking up a package of sausages that looked rather appetizing. I walked over to buy them.

"How long have you two been dating?" she asked, taking the package.

"Oh, we're not dating," I sighed.

"Well, here are your wursts. You better go make sure he and his friends do get themselves hurt," the woman smiled, handing me the bag.

I looked over to see France in the tree, Spain clinging on, like a sloth, for dear life, and Gilbert laughing. "Thank you!" I smiled, running off toward the Bad Ideas Trio. "Do you need some help there Spain?" I asked.

"No," He sighed, hugging the tree tighter.

"Suit yourself, I have to go finish the shopping," I sighed, walking over to a vendor. I got a couple pounds of potatoes, and various little snack foods. I was looking at a little window shop that had sweets. I walked in and it smelled like fudge and vanilla. The man behind the counter was young, maybe a year older than me.

"So what could I get you?" he asked, not turning around from his shelving unit.

"Vash, I dropped the wrapped chocolates," a young girl cried.

"Liechtenstein?" I asked.

"Hungary!" she smiled.

"Come one Liechtenstein, go pick up the chocolates," Vash sighed, pointing towards the back kitchen.

"I'll see you, Hungary!" Liechtenstein smiled.

"Is there chocolate you want?" Vash asked, turning around.

"Switzerland?" I asked.

"Yes," he sighed.

I just shook my head, it makes sense since Switzerland does export chocolate. "Could I have a box of assorted chocolates?" The other nation organized the chocolates in a box. I gave him the money, "Thanks," I smiled.

I walked out of the little shop and saw Gilbert and France trying to pry Spain out of the tree.

"How many countries does it take to get Spain out of a tree?" I asked. "Clearly more than two." I finished, laughing.

Spain let go out of shock, falling on top of France and Gilbert. Gil was pinned face down in the dirt, France on top of him and Spain on them both.

"Get of off the AWESOME me!" Gil yelled into the ground.

"Oh honhonhon, I find this charming," France laughed.

Spain frantically tried to stand up but wound up tripping over his own feet. France stood up, somehow managing to stay immaculate. Gil sat up and was covered grass, and a bit of mud.

"Ready for lunch Gil?" I asked.

"Yeah, let's go," Gil sighed, standing up. "France, Spain, get lost or go pick up chicks or something. Just don't follow us."

"Honhonhon, someone's got a bad touched plan!" France laughed.

"No, I just don't want to try and get you two to the hospital when Liz bashes your heads in with a frying pan," Gil replied, taking the bag of potatoes from me. We started walking back to school. "I'm sorry about those two," Gil started.

"Don't apologize, France is being himself and Spain has seperation issues. Besides, they're your friends. I don't apologize for the irrational actions of Michelle, Felicity or Natalia, so you don't need to for the Bad Touch Trio," I smiled.

"Wait, we were only talking about the 2, when the Awesome me get involved?" Gil asked.

"You've been involved since Spain and France brought you into the Bad touched side," I laughed as we walked on campus. There was practically no one there. We walked into the house and I went into the kitchen, "Gonna help?"

"Sure, what ya need help with?" Gil asked.

"Could you start a cheese sauce like we made in class earlier?" I asked.

"Sure," Gil smiled, "The awesome me can do that." We put the bags on the counter and I tried to decide what I wanted to start cutting up. Gil took some cream and cheese. By the time I had the potatoes cut up, the cheese sauce was ready.

"Would the awesome Prussia mind cutting up some wursts?" I asked.

"Why not," he shrugged. I started layering the potatoes and what he had cut up of the sausages. After a few minutes Gil had the dish in the oven. I was starting to unpack the grocery bags. I was putting juice, eggs, butter, and other generic stuff into the fridge.

"What's up with the swiss chocolates?" Gil asked.

"They looked good," I sighed, closing the fridge. Gil had the box opened in a matter of seconds. "Don't eat those! I bought them to share with the girls!" I yelped, trying to get the box.

Gil held them out of my reach, "Why not with awesome me?"

"Like you need any sugar!" I countered, trying to get the box. Gil turned and put the lid back on.

He bolted to the sofa, yelling, "Why? Do you find me too sweet?"

I followed him in hot pursuit, "No, you're hyper out the wazoo!"

He jumped over the back of the couch and tried to stand up, but wound up falling on his back. I walked around the couch and took the box, carefully putting it on the table. Gil must have stood up when I had my back turned because the next thing I knew was that Gil had his arm around me, trying to pin my arms down,

"Gilbert Beilschmidt let me go!" I squeaked, struggling.

"Ok!" he laughed. I fell onto the couch and Gil stood there laughing at me, "Wow, you are a major klutz-"

I pulled him down, trying to pin him down. It failed with him pinning me down, "Well that didn't work," I sighed, wrinkling my nose when his hair brushed over it.

"Can I have some chocolate now?" Gil asked.

"No!" I sighed.

"Awe but please! It's not like anyone would have to know it ever happened!" Gil started, before Michelle walked in, no doubt hearing what the prussian just said.

"Woah! Guys, please get a room!" Michelle cried, running over. She started hitting Gil over the head with the food boxes., fish and chips flying everywhere.

"Get off! Get off!" she yelled with each hit. "Stop trying to rape my friend! You creep! Get off!"

"What the bloody hell is going on here?" England yelled, running in. "Michelle, why are you attacking Gilbert with our lunch?" He ran over and tried prying Michelle off of the poor Prussian.

"England let me go! He's trying to rape Liz!" she yelled, struggling against his grasp.

In the struggle, a chip flew out of the container and into England's eye.

"Argh! You bloody manic calm down. Gilbert is not trying to rape Liz!" he yelled, clutching his eye.

"Oh, he isn't?" she asked, backing away from the poor Prussian.

"No, love, he isn't. He's merely embracing his girlfriend on the couch," England sighed.

"Oh, well in that case, Gross!" she yelled. "Let's go and flush your eye out." England nodded and they walked out of the room.

"Gilbert, you are a dummy sometimes," I laughed, my wrists still pinned.

"It's not my fault Michelle is some psycho!" Gil tried to argue, shifting backwards.

"Well, all she heard was "It's not like anyone would have to know it ever happened!" and you are part of the Bad touch trio, classifying you as a Pedo, rapist or pervert. It's not entirely her fault she jumped to that conclusion," I laughed.

"She just hates me because I'm Aweso-wait, did England call you my girlfriend?" Gilbert asked.

"I-I don't know," I stuttered, turning pink.

"Ok," he smiled.

"Did you remember to turn the oven on?" I asked.

He had a sheepish smile on his face, "Whoops."

"Come on, let's actually get our food cooking," I smiled as I got up from the couch. "Gil, you really are something else."

"Huh?" he asked, as I turned the oven on.

"You are one of the most self centered, egotistical, annoying people I've ever met," I started.

"I didn't realize that's how you felt," he mumbled.

"But, more than that, you are selfless, sweet, funny, and, as I've learned, Awesome!" I finished, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. "And you always smell like German Beer. Though I don't know if that's a good or bad thing."

He wrapped his arms around my waist, whispering, "Depends on how long you plan on being wrapped up in my arms."

"As long as I can," I mumbled into his shoulder.

"Let's go wait for lunch to be ready, on the couch?" Gil asked.

"Sure, the awesome Prussia," I smiled. We walked over to the couch, Prussia sitting on the far right, me on the far left.

"Liz?"

"Yes?" I asked, confused.

"Do you smell burning?" he asked. I flew from the couch, to the oven.

I opened the oven and grabbed an oven mitt to pull the pan out, there was a little smoke billowing out of the oven, I put the pan on the stove top. "It boiled over," I sighed.

"Um, Liz, why is your oven on fire?" Michelle asked, poking her head back into the living room.

I jumped, hitting my bare wrist on the smoking pan, "It's called Prussia over filling the pan," I grumbled, cradling my wrist. "I'm going to go put some warm water on this. . ." I mumbled, walking over towards the bathroom.

Michelle nodded, "Do you need any help?" she asked. England had disappeared somewhere and Prussia was still sitting around.

"No, I'm fine," I squeaked. I shuffled to the bathroom. I turned the tap on lukewarm, carefully easing my wrist under the flow of water. The mark where the pan hit felt like it was throbbing, and it was bright red. Well at least most of the major classes like history and english and science are strictly for show, the only classes I really have to worry about are cooking and there is probably something else, I thought to myself.

"Are you alright?" Gil asked. He startled me, so I jumped, wacking my wrist on the faucet.

I bit back a tear, "I'll live, I've been through worse. Frying pans pack some nasty recoil sometimes." I turned the tap off and let the water drip off, trying to avoid all contact with the burn.

Gilbert's stomach growled, "We still haven't had lunch yet, I'm starving. I'm going to go put the casserole-dish-thing in the oven."

"Alright," I smiled.

I pulled my hand from the sink and sighed, thinking, Am I too fast to fall for Gibert? What if this is just some dare from the other Bad touches? If this was a dare, why did he turn red when they showed up? Am I being too paranoid? No, Breathe, breathe. How do I feel about Gilbert? He annoys me, but I know I can trust him. Ok, good start, now how did I feel when I kissed him? I felt like I was about explode, not knowing if that was a good response. I'm just going to give up, not getting too involved. I took a deep breath and walked back into the living room.

"Gil, did you put the casserole in the oven?" I asked.

"Nononon! Let's go get something that can't potentially injure and or kill us!" Michelle interrupted, waving her arms around.

"So we're not getting any of England's cooking, good to know," I started, "Seeing that last time, Gilbert wound up getting beat with fish and chips because of my-"

"Psyco-crazy-loony friend who doesn't know how to keep calm?" Gil offered, cutting me off. "Or doesn't realize food isn't meant to be a weapon!"

"Be quiet before you're dead," I sighed.

Michelle huffed, "It's not my fault that I walked in on you pining my friend down! Why don't we get pizza, since it's really hard to beat someone with pizza!"

"Like you knew what was going on!" Gilbert yelled.

"Let's go," I sighed, walking towards the door.

"Don't yell at me!" Michelle yelled back. "Liz, why don't you guys go. I'll just get something from the cafeteria or something."

"No, your idea, therefore you're going," I sighed, "You aren't eating alone."

She rolled her eyes. "I won't be eating alone. Besides, I have lots of work to do. You guys go and have fun."

"Fine," I smiled, "Ready to go Gil?" I asked.

"Yeah, why not," he smiled.

"I'll catch you later Michelle!" I smiled going out the door.

Once we were out of earshot from anyone who could possibly hear us, Gilbert asked, "Are you alright? You seem a little out of it."

"It's nothing, just reeling thoughts is all," I smiled.

"Is it because of earlier?" he asked, clearly implying the fight with Austria.

"A little bit I guess, I think it's mostly just being frazzled from earlier," I sighed. And I think I might be in love with you, I thought.

"Alright," he smiled. His tone dropped, "By the way, I heard you muttering when you were rinsing your wrist, I wasn't dared to kiss you, but France has tried to dare me to lay the moves on you. So if you want to beat him with your frying pan, go ahead."

That made me laugh, and for some reason I took his hand in mine. "You're crazy," I smiled.

"Takes one to know one," he countered.

My pocket buzzed,

From: Michelle

Message: Hey Liz, can you bring me leftovers? Too busy to get food.

To: Michelle

From: Lizzy

Message: I'll get you a piece or 2 of pizza, what kind?

"Who's that?" Gil asked.

"Michelle," I sighed, my phone buzzed again.

From: Michelle

Message: Seaweed with sardines please! :) Thank you!

"What did she say?" Gilbert asked.

"She wants us to bring her a piece or 2 of pizza," I sighed.

"What kind?"

"Sardines and seaweed," I laughed. That really is her, and her love for fish.

"That sounds gross," Gil replied, turning his nose up.

"Says the guy who lives off of sausage, and potatoes," I smiled.

"And chocolate, if you'd let me have some," he pouted.

"You saw what happens when you try to steal my food," I smiled, putting my phone back in my pocket.

"Yeah, I get bashed with english food," he started. "I think I still have some stuck in my hair."

"No you're good," I smiled.

"I hope so," he laughed, holding the pizza place's door open.

"Thank you," I smiled. We walked in and I saw Felicity and Ludwig. "Please don't talk to Felicity and Ludwig, we agreed we wouldn't mess up each others lunches."

"Yeah, no problem," Gil smiled, "What do you want to eat?"

"Um, not sure, let's go look," I smiled, pulling Gilbert next to me, into the line. "Um, spinach and ricotta looks good. What are you getting Gilbert?"

"Um, pepperoni," Gil smiled.

"And could we get 2 slices of sardine and seaweed to go, please," I asked the clerk.

"So thats 2 slices of seaweed and sardine, one slice of pepperoni and one slice of spinach and ricotta, all to go?" the clerk asked.

"Yes please," I smiled. We bought our food and waited for Michelle's to be done.

Gilbert looked over to the side, towards Ludwig. "Um, Let's go eat in the park, this place is kinda stuffy."

"Yeah," I smiled, taking Michelle's pizza in it's little box. Although, it was us and maybe 5 other people in the shop. We walked out the door, and to the little park. We sat on a bench and ate in silence. "This pizza is really good," I smiled.

"May the AWESOME one try some?" Gil asked.

"Yeah," I laughed.

He turned up his nose, "Totally not awesome!"

"Why is it not awesome?" I asked.

"Spinach," he mumbled like a little kid.

"Oh grow up, spinach is really good," I laughed, taking a bite of my pizza.

He stuck his tongue out, "It's gross!"

I cracked up, "I don't think I could finish if I tried." I stood up and threw out the little bit of my pizza. Gilbert stood up too, throwing away the box from his pizza. I picked up the bag with Michelle's pizza in it and asked, "Well, what do you want to do? If Michelle is too busy for food, maybe we should wait for a little so she can get some work done."

"Don't know-" Gil started, before.

"Oh honhonhon, I know what he wants to do," France laughed from some undisclosed location.

Either France or Spain started a song on their phone, "I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah

I want you to hit the pedal, heavy metal, show me you care

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah

I want you to hit the pedal, heavy metal, show me you care

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah. . . "

The song faded out and Gil busted up, "Antonio, I'm not sure what's worse, the fact you have that song on your phone, or the fact that that I heard Francis singing along. I can't believe the awesome me is mixed in with you two."

"Oh honhonhon, of course I'd sing along, after all the song is about my favorite ac-" Francis started.

"France, stuff it! You may have ruined his chance!" Spain spat from somewhere.

"Prussia," I purred, pronouncing it pru-see-a. He kind of flustered.

"Yes?" he asked, his eyes bouncing from bush to bush.

"Nothing, just wanted to see how you'd react," I laughed.

Spain and France fell out of a bush, France pinning a very red Spaniard down. Spain made a sound similar to a drowning duck. I turned to look at them.

The first thing Gilbert asked was, "France, is your nose bleeding?"

"Huh, I didn't think that was possible," I laughed. France stood up and I helped spain to his feet.

"Are you alright Spain?" I asked.

"Yeah," he smiled like a little kid.

"Alright," I smiled, a little yellow (not gold, yellow!) bird flew by and landed right on Gilbert's head.

"Gilbird!" Gil laughed, the bird chirping in response. "I thought you were flying around until you found-" Gil started yelling happily, before shutting his mouth right quick.

"Hello?" France asked, waving his in front of Gilbert's face. Gil just kinda stood there, not moving or trying to respond.

"Gott! A bird can find a girlfriend quicker than I can!" Gil laughed.

Spain and france stared at me quizzically. I felt my face grow red, "Hi. . ." I smiled sheepishly.

Spain and France looked at eachother and then back at me. I swear they were glowing malevolently. I turned to prussia and he was glowing a bit too.

"Oh god, why?" I asked.

Spain smiled, "If you're single, we are going to set you up."

I knew what he meant, if I wasn't dating Gil, they would find a way to set us up. Spain took my arm and started dragging back down the path, and France dragged Prussia the other way. Once we got back to where all of the shops were, Spain let go of my wrist.

"Why did you and France decide to separate me and Gil-Prussia?" I asked.

"Well, France really wants to set you two up, but doesn't want to break the trio up, so wanted to talk to Prussia, and France told me to talk to you," Spain smiled cheekily.

"About?" I asked.

"Well France wanted me to tell you to stay away from Prussia if you wanted a relationship. France said that Prussia belongs to the bad touch trio, and the point of the bad touch trio is to stay single and be players," Spain sighed.

"Wow, maybe I should have stayed with Austria," I sighed, my hand floating to my neck.

"No, no no no," Spain started, "I think that's only because he hasn't had a girlfriend. I think you make Prussia happier than anything. Did you see the way he acted when you said Prussia?"

"Antonio, what is the point of what you're saying?" I asked, lost.

"You need to stay with Prussia-Wait, did you just call me Antonio?"

"Yeah, why? I call my friends by their names," I smiled.

Spain stared down at his feet, "Hungary, can I ask you for some advice?"

"Uh, sure?" I replied.

"Should I ask Francis out?" Spain asked very quietly.

I was shocked, I couldn't imagine anyone asking France out, but if anyone could love him, it was Spain, "Just try, if anyone could, it's you."

"You really think so?" Spain asked his eyes bright.

"It's all up to you," I smiled. France and Gilbert were walking back down the path.

"Thank you," Spain smiled, hugging me.

I hugged him back, "Welcome Antonio."

France and Gil came up to us and Spain frantically stepped away from me.

"You ready to go Gil? We should probably get Michelle her pizza," I smiled.

"Yeah," Gil sighed, glancing at France and nodding. Gil and I started walking and I heard Spain start talking.

"Uh, um, Francis. Look, I don't think you should break Prussia and Hungary up," he started.

"Oh, and why not?" France asked.

"Because he's clearly happy," Spain answered.

"Oh honhonhon, but we can make him happier," France laughed.

"No! Look Francis, I-I like you, so don't worry about Prussia, just say you'll go out. . . with me?" Spain asked. Gilbert and I were too far away to hear the response.

"So, what did France have to say?" I asked.

"He said that If I didn't do anything with you, he would," Gilbert sneered.

"Don't worry, I think he'll be a bit preoccupied," I smiled.

"Why?"

"Don't worry, besides, I think it's going to rain," I sighed, looking up to see clouds in the sky.

"Don't most chi-girls want to be caught in the rain? Especially with an awesome me?" Gil asked, laughing.

"Well, I'm not like most girls, now am I?" I smiled, looking at my hands.

Gil took my hand in his, "Trust the awesome me, I would never imagine you being a normal girl."

"Huh, what is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"I had to force the fact that you were a girl onto you," Gilbert started, "Besides, you're one of the strongest girls I know."

"That's right, if it weren't for you, I would've been one of the strongest men in Europe," I laughed.

"And the awesome me," Gil started. "Would probably be gay, or have England turn me into a chick."

"You are such a dummy, being a girl isn't that easy!" I started laughing, "Dude you thought my point of weakness was my chest, groping me when I thought I was still a dude!"

"Wow, the word dude twice in a sentence, spending time with America instead of awesome me?"

"I've been with you all day genius!" I laughed, punching his shoulder.

"Oh, yeah. The AWESOME brain fails!" Gilbert laughed loudly.

"Why did you decide to tell me I was girl?" I asked.

"Well, I figured that I can't be beat by a delusional girl-" he started.

"I wasn't delusional!" I yelled hysterically.

We were coming up on the front gates of the school, "You were convinced you had a-"

I put my hand over his mouth, "Shut up."

Gilbert licked my hand.

"You licked me!" I yelled as we were walking through the gates.

He put his head right next to mine whispering, "Get used to it."

At that point I bolted, running full tilt to my and Michelle's house. I started pounding on the door, praying she was home, "Mich-ELLE!" I squeaked as Gil came up behind me and pinned my arms at my sides.

Michelle opened the door and Prussia, obviously as usual, "Oh come on! I just said to get used to me licking you!"

I stared at Michelle, ". . . Hi?"

Michelle simply looked at us before saying, "Um, hey guys... do you have my pizza?"

No screams, no yells, and no flying food.

"Yeah, in the bag," I replied trying both to hand Michelle the bag and not to snap at Gilbert. The minute she walks in that door I am going to destroy Prussia, I thought.

"Thanks..." Michelle said, taking the bag from me. "I'll see you guys later, I guess. The living room in open."

"Gilbert Beilschmidt, you have 3 seconds to let go of me before I decide to kick you in the jewels," I growled.

Gil let go of me and backed away from me, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'll call you later," I muttered, walking in and shutting the door in his face. I decided to face plant on the couch not bothering to move.

"Hey Liz I, uh, finished my work. Do you want to have a girl's night or something?" Michelle asked.

I grumbled into the couch, "Only if I don't need to see any guys. . . I'm going to go to my room."

"You don't have to see any guys. We'll just sit around eating junk food and watching bad tv." Michelle sighed before I responded.

I went back into my room and decided to change into an oversized shirt and sweatpants. I threw my hair into a messy bun, quite frankly, I don't care who saw me. I had forgotten to put the chocolates on the counter after Prussia and my wrestling match. I walked out to the living room and put the chocolates on the counter. I opened the fridge and decided to start cooking the potato dish prussia and I had started cooking it and went back to the living room and sat on the couch.

."Hey Liz! I invited Mattie, Mei, Feli, Lili and Nat. Is that ok?" Michelle called, walking into the living room.

"Alright," I shrugged, sitting upside down on the couch. "As long as there are no guys. And I started that casserole thing Prussia and I had been making."

She looked at me strangely. "Are you ok? You seem angry." She walked over towards the couch, sitting on the other side.

"Would you be ok if the guy you liked were dragged away by France. Just for you to talk to Spain and tell him to talk to his crush, and later find out that the guy you like has to either get you in bed or France will? So no, I'm not angry, at all," I sighed, the last sentence dripping with sarcasm. Knock, knock! "Door's open girls!" I yelled.

Mei walked in wearing a silk nightgown, Felicity came in wearing an oversized t-shirt and shorts, Mattie was wearing a conservative long sleeved nightgown, Nat was wearing flannel pants and a tshirt and Lili was wearing a tanktop and fuzzy shorts.

She frowned at my harsh tone. "Well, why don't you talk to Gil about it? I could talk to France if you want. Make him see reason."

"No, I don't really feel like talking to any guys right now," I sighed.

Lili came up right next to me and asked in her small voice, "What's wrong big sis?"

"Don't worry Lili, it's nothing," I sighed, flipping myself right side up.

"Well..." Mei started. "Why don't we watch something awesome like..."

"The Walking Dead!" Natalia shouted. Of course she would say something scary.

Michelle shrugged, "Sure, why not, How bad can it be?"

Lili made a little squeaking sound, "Zombies? B-but I watch scary stuff with Vash so I won't get scared."

I put my arm around her shoulder, "Don't worry Lili. Why not The Rocky Horror Picture Show?"

Mattie whispered, "Horror?"

"It's actually a rock musical, and one of the main character's names is "Rocky Horror"," I explained.

"Ok, why don't we watch a couple episodes of the Walking Dead, and then we can watch Rocky Horror. Sound good?" Natalia asked.

Mei and Michelle shrugged, "Sure."

"Vee ok!" Felicity said, laying on her stomach in front of the tv.

"I just have to go take some food out of the oven," I sighed, getting up. I got the food out of the oven and it was burnt, "Or we could order out."

"Order out to where? Lili asked.

"Italian!" Felicity smiled.

"Sounds good," I smiled.

"I'll call them!" Felicity said, leaving the room to make the call.

"Well, I'm going to get us all bowls for ice cream. Liz, do you mind getting pillows and blankets and such for us to sit on?" Michelle asked me as she walked into the kitchen.

"Sure, Lili, would you come help me?" I asked.

"Sure," Lili smiled. We walked back to my room and pulled off all of the pillows from my bed and got blankets from the closet. There was a little bird sitting on the edge of the window sill.

"Lili, would you take these out to the others?"

"Sure," she smiled, pulling a pile of pillows and blankets down the hall.

I opened the window and the bird flew in, sitting on my desk, holding a paper in it's beak. I unfolded the paper and read: "It is Awesome me! Anyway, you need to come over, I have to explain." I scribbled on the paper, "Yeah, maybe later, since last I heard from you was that either you lay me, or francy pants does." I gave the little bird the note and walked back into the living room.

"Sorry, had to close my window," I smiled before sitting on the couch with Lili. Michelle was all huddled up with some type of sherbert and her nemo blanket.

"No problem, let's start," Nat said, starting the first episode and crawling over to Felicity.

I was about to grab a container of ice cream, but remembered my chocolates and decided to go grab them instead.

Michelle let out a shriek as a zombie popped out of nowhere, hiding behind her pillow.

Natalia laughed at her scream, along with everyone else.

"Wow, is this going to happen every time?" I asked.

Lili was clinging to her pillow, muttering, "It's not real, it's not real."

"Would you like a chocolate?" I asked her, hoping something swiss would help calm her nerves.

She tenderly took one, "Thank you."

"No problem," I sighed, taking a piece myself. Someone was pounding on the door, "I'll get it if you guys put Rocky on!"

"The episode ends in 2 minutes, you can wait!" Nat yelled, not prying her eyes from the screen.

"Fine," I sighed, getting up to get the door. I opened it enough to see England in his bathrobe and slippers. I busted up laughing, "You know if France was here you'd be screwed! H-hey Mi-Michelle!"

England scowled. "Well, aren't I fortunate that France is not on the premises."

"Well, I'm going to leave you to talk," I sighed, walking back into the living room, leaving England at the door, waiting for Michelle. They walked out to the front porch, and I put the DVD of Rocky Horror Picture Show in, skipping the previews. Just as the intro song was starting, I heard my phone ring from in my room. I walked back to my room to and looked at my phone, one message from Germany, "Hey Hungary, I didn't know if Gil was over with you. He said something about wanting to talk to you." The message was sent over an hour and a half ago.

I saw Gilbird sitting on my desk, pecking at my book, I took the paper from the small bird, reading, "Please Liz, I really won't try anything, Bring someone with you, if you don't believe me. Please!" I crumbled up the paper and walked back to the living room.

"Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker. There's three ways that love can grow. That's good, bad, or mediocre. Oh J-A-N-E-T, I love you so," The movie sang.

I decided to sing along, "Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had. Now we're engaged and I'm so glad, That you met mom and you know dad. I've one thing to say, and that's Brad, I'm mad, for you too. Oh, Brad! Oh... dammit. I'm mad... Oh, Janet. For you. I love you too. There's one thing left to do - ah - oo."

"And that's go see the man who began it. (Janet) When we met in his science exam - it (Janet) Made me give you the eye and then panic. (Janet) Now I've one thing to say and that's Dammit, Janet, I love you. Dammit, Janet."

"Oh Brad, I'm mad."

"Dammit, Janet."

"I ... love ... you."

"How do you have that much memorized?" Feli asked.

"I like this movie," I smiled.

"What's your favorite song?" Mei asked.

"Um, there are actually a few. "Sword of Damocles", "Bless My Soul"," I started, before muttering, "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me."

"I like the song Bless my soul," Mattie smiled, "France showed me this in attempt to show me English culture. It didn't work."

We all kinda laughed, no longer paying much attention to the movie.

"Felicity," I asked, "When is the food supposed to get here or get picked up?"

"I told them that I'd be there about 2 hours after I called. . . I should probably go pick everything up now. I'll see you guys in a few!" Felicity smiled, running out the door in her PJs. She neglected to shut the door, but none of us bothered to go shut it.

"Can we come in?" Switzerland asked.

"Yes, prease," Japan added.

Mei started turning pink, and Lili made her small squeaking noise.

"Germany went to go with Felicity," Lithuania piped.

"Toris, what are you doing here?" Nat asked.

"Kiku?" Mei asked.

"Vash?" Lili squeaked. I got up and moved next to Mattie.

"Do you have a guy we should be expecting to see?" I asked, trying to keep the frustration out of my voice.

"Oh no, there is someone I kinda like but he's only my partner on an assignment," Mattie sighed.

"His name?" I asked.

"Romano Vargas," she sighed distantly.

"Feli's brother?" I asked.

"Yeah," she smiled. "Who do you like, if anyone?"

"Well, do you remember earlier today, when I was fighting with Austria in front of the whole school? Well, his name is Gilbert Beilschmidt." I sighed.

"Hey guys!" Michelle said cheerfully, waving at everyone and sending a pointed look at England. He huffed, sitting down in a chair in the corner.

"We're back!" Felicity smiled, carrying in what looked like a couple bags of bread sticks and I don't even know how much soda. "And we bring food!" She laughed as she and Germany put everything on the counter.

"Yay!" I smiled, standing up to help them unload everything.

"Liz, have you seen Prussia in the past few hours?" Germany asked.

"No, why?" I asked, opening a bottle of root beer.

"He sent me a text that said he had to tell you something, then about an hour later said he was going to find France or spain to help him 'hook up'. What did he have to tell you, do you know?" Germany asked.

"We got into a little argument that was initiated by France," I sighed.

"He's probably still at his house, go talk to him," Germany commanded.

"Fine," I huffed. "Guys, I'm going to go on a little walk, if you guys decide to play a game, go for it." No one was really listening.

I walked out the door and to Prussia's house. Right before I knocked on the door I heard France laughing sadistically and Spain groaning something about how he was as delicate as a tomato. I gently tapped the door, when there was no response I let myself in. France was in his boxers laughing sadistically as he took swigs of wine from a bottle. Spain was wearing no shirt and a tutu with a bottle of some strong alcohol in his hand.

"I thought you didn't want to talk to me?" Gil growled from a table, littered with dark bottles that were once full of beer.

"So you decide to get yourselves drunk stupid!" I went frantic.

"Oh honhonhonhon, you've come so I can please you?" France laughed, taking my hand in his.

"Uh, no, I came so I could-" I took in a breath, "Spend the night with my boyfriend, and trust me, we won't-" choose your words carefully, "Love and tell." I purred, getting Gilbert's attention.

Gilbert stood up, swaying, "Come one liebe, let's go to my room." Gil grabbed my wrist tenderly, but made it look forceful. He slammed the door shut and we heard Spain and France bolt over to listen to us. He came right up to me and whispered, "Look, those two are idiots, I've been chugging cream soda for the past hour, before that I was drinking beer. I'm sober enough to know that we should get the heck outta here, before France tries to rape either of us. What I wanted to explain was that France didn't want me to get too involved too quick-"

"So he decided to say you had to get me in bed or he would?" I asked sharply.

He looked me dead in the eyes, "Liz, I've never done anything with any girl. I love you. I don't care if-"

"Ich liebe dich, Ich sehr liebe dich," I smiled.

"Let's blow this joint," Prussia smiled.

"Hold on," I sighed. I slammed my fist on the bedroom door and heard Spain yelp.

"Let's go out the window?"

"You are weird," I smiled, following him. He hopped out and I followed his lead, sadly I tripped on my pants and wound up laying ontop of him. I just laughed, "Payback for pinning me to the couch." We got up and ran to my and Michelle's place. We frantically shut and locked the door, leaning against it and laughing.

They all stared at us for a while before Michelle got the courage to ask what was going on.

"Um, hey Liz, Gil, what's up?" she asked casually, as if we weren't being insane lunatics a few minutes ago.

"I was pretending to be drunk and we left france when he threatened to get with Liz. He and Spain currently think Liz and I are getting busy in my room," Gil explained, sides heaving.

I nodded, "Can we join you?"

"Well then... sure!" I said brightly.

Michelle shoved Arthur, who was beside her, to make room for us.

"Move," she huffed.

He scowled at her, before moving over. She simply stuck her tongue out at him.

"Liz, Gil you can sit here," Michelle said pointing to the space. "It's Mattie's turn right now."

Mattie nodded. "Anyways, Natalia, have you ever kissed anyone before?"

Nat sighed, "Um, yes?"

"Other than your brother," Mei pointed out.

Nat glared at her, before sighing again. "Well, in that case no. No I have not. Liz, truth or dare?"

"I'm pretty much screwed with whatever I choose, so dare?" I asked, frightened.

Natalia grinned. "Hmm, I dare you to kiss one of the people sitting next to you."

I looked at Liz with wide eyes, waving my hands in front of me.

"Liz! I love you, but I'm going to have to sit out for this one!" Michelle cried.

"Wouldn't it have been easier to dare me to kiss a pillow?" I squeaked.

"But easy isn't fun," Nat said, laughing maniacally.

I quickly pecked Prussia on the cheek, Please don't say on the lips! I thought, my expressions probably clearly showing this.

"Uh uh uh," Nat tutted. "I may not ave made zis clear enough but you ave to kiss him on ze lips." Nat made a kissy face and a loud SMOOCH! to emphasize her point.

Prussia had a smug look on his face. I took a deep breath and put my arms around his neck before kissing, well pecking his lips.

I sneered, "Happy now?"

Nat clapped and smiled. "Yes."

"I'm glad," I scoffed. "Anyway, Michelle, truth or dare?"

"Um... well... what's the worse that can happen. Dare!" Michelle smiled

"Alright, then, I dare you to. . . hmm. . . Kiss the guy you have a crush on, and if he's not here, say who he is," I smiled.

"Um, how about I skip? I have to uh go to the bathroom. Yeah, the bathroom," Michelle said smoothly, moving to stand up.

"We can wait," I smiled.

"Awesome," she drawled. "Be right back."

After a couple minutes I said, "I'll go check on her-"

"No, I will," England sighed, "She is my colony, after all."

"Uh, alright," I sighed, sitting down.

"She'll be back shortly. She's feeding her fish. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so I must depart. Good night everyone." England sighed. He left, closing the door loudly behind him. We all just sat in stunned silence. It's England, she wouldn't have overreacted so much and then he goes to check on her, I thought, concluding what the facts pointed out.

"Well, let's just wait and make sure she's ar-right," Kiku sighed before any of us.

Michelle walked out, and into the living room, smiling. "Hey guys, sorry I took so long. Dori was hungry. Anyways, it's my turn to pick someone, right? Well, Toris, truth or dare?"

He, like everyone else, looked up surprised. "Um, truth."

"Who would you kiss right now, and why?" she sat back in her old seat by me.

"Natalia of course and because she is the most amazing person I've ever laid eyes on." He locked eyes with the Belarusian sitting next to him, making Nat blush bright red.

"Vee! That's so romantic!" Feli swooned.

"Anyways, Prussia, truth or dare?" Toris asked.

"The awesome me chooses Dare!" Prussia yelled out, breaking the tension in the room.

There was a knock at the door, "I'll get it," I smiled. I opened the door to Spain in his tutu and France in his boxers, both soaked to the bone. "Uh, 2 things!" I yelled into the party, "France and Spain are here and it's pouring, should I let them in?"

"Nein!" Germany yelled.

"Papa Francis! Antonio! Yes, let them in!" Michelle cried.

"I agree with the German," I sighed, before letting the drunkards in. "Whatever you say Michelle." Went back to sit down after Spain and France stumbled in, both face planting into the carpet.

Groaning, Michelle got up and dragged france into the bathroom, before coming back for his friend. I walked back into the living room and sat next to me.

"Ok, who's turn was it again?" Mei asked, looking at all of us.

"Toris was just about to dare the Awesome me!" Prussia yelled.

"Ok, Toris, commence with the daring," Mei said, waving him on with a delicate hand.

"Uh, alright," Toris started, clearly trying to think up something. He glanced at me briefly and said, "I dare you to. . . Play 7 minutes in heaven with Hungary."

I glared at him, trying to telepathically get my point across, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

"Come Liz!" Gil laughed haughtly.

"We-we don't have an empty closet!" I tried to argue.

"Yes we do!" Michelle piped up wickedly. "Or, if you don't like that... you could always go in the bathroom. With France and Spain."

"You wouldn't!" I yelled, as I was dragged to the nearest closet. Michelle stuffed me and Prussia in the closet. I tried to back away from Prussia, but the closet was too small.

"Have fun!" Michelle called, locking the door from the outside.

"Hi," I said smalley, attempting to become one with the wall. It didn't work because, the closet had to be a 2x2 square, filled with clothing.

"Please, will you talk to me?" Gilbert asked.

"Why?" I asked, pressing into the wall more.

"Because you seem like you hate me, and I just want to know why," Prussia sighed, pressing back against his wall.

"I-I don't hate you, its that bastard France. He thinks that just because we're getting closer means he has to go in and rip it to shreds," I started the hate bubbling out through the tear trying to slip out of my eye.

"Liz, don't believe anything he has to say, he's just trying to keep me from breaking. One thing I know, is that you can't fix something that isn't broken, aka, my heart," he smiled, pulling my hand up to the left side of his chest. His heart was fluttering madly, but his face was as calm and cool as ever.

"That has to be one of the deepest things I have ever heard you say," I smiled, the feeling of his heart nearly synchronized with mine.

"See, I'm not always that crazy," he snickered.

I dropped my volume and snickered, "If you want to give the others a bit of a heart attack, I have an idea."

"Alright, what is the idea for the awesome me?" he asked.

"Try yelling 'I will invade your vital regions," I smiled.

"You sure? I mean, I kinda like being alone with you," Prussia smiled.

I froze, before saying, "I can't believe we've kissed twice today."

"Yeah, honestly, I thought Austerlitz would've kissed you much more," Gil sighed, almost irrelevantly.

"Gil, you were my first, and have been my only kiss. Does that make any mind to you?" I asked smartly, leaning towards him, my hand still firmly on his chest.

"Yes, it does," he snickered, leaning forward until our faces were right in front of each other. "You smell like pizza," he laughed.

"Well, you smell like beer," I smiled.

"Your friends are insane," he snickered.

"Yours are-" I started.

Gilbert interrupted me with a small kiss, "Currently laying in the bathroom, drunk off their butts, and I'm here with you?"

"You are insane and taste cream soda," I laughed.

"At least I know I taste sweet," he snickered, putting his arms around me in a hug.

"You're like valentines day, sugar and a teddy bear," I laughed, burying my face in his shirt.

"You are seriously weird," he smiled. "But thanks, I always wanted to be called a teddy bear, am I really fat and furry."

"Oh ha ha, I meant that you were comforting and I know I can trust you," I sighed. He was about to say something, but I pressed my lips to his, my arms around his neck.

"Liz, Gil, you can come out now!" Michelle said lowly.

"Should we?" Gil asked lowly.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Go back out?" he asked.

"As much as I'd like to say no, I think they'd jump too far about what happened," I snickered, trying to open the door. "She didn't unlock the door!"

"Well then, isn't this just fantastic," he smiled before yelling, "IF ANYONE DOESN'T UNLOCK THE DOOR I WILL INVADE YOUR VITAL REGIONS, AWESOMELY!"

Michelle unlocked the door, "Oops," she said simply.

Everyone was still in the living room, some of them dozing off. It had to be at least 11 at night by now, and Gil and I walked back out to the living room, sitting in the group. Lili had her head resting of Vash's shoulder, Felicity was cocooned in a blanket, Japan was using Mei as a pillow. Natalia was staring at me and Gilbert.

"May I help you Belarus?" Gil asked.

"Just trying to find any evidence that you forced her to do anything," Nat sighed.

I turned pink and leaned up against Prussia.

"Well, everyone's practically asleep, so I say we should all hit the sack," Michelle yawned, going over to the couch.

Vash went to stand up, but Lili woke up, "Vash, where are you going?"

"It's late, you just stay here," he smiled. Lili stood up and gently pecked him on the cheek. I swore Switzerland turned pink.

"Ok any male who aren't incoherently drunk leave now!" Nat smiled. Mei gently tapped Japan and he looked up and saw the guys making their way to the door.

The guys were at the door, and Lithuania turned around, Nat was holding the door open. Toris kissed her, completely surprising her, "That's to show you I'm not as spineless as you thought when you broke my fingers last month." He walked out, his head held high.

Once all of the guys were gone, Nat's eyes were still wide.

"Well, I think I can have one other in my room, and the living room will definitely all of us, so it's your choices," I smiled.

Michelle lept up and embraced Nat.

"Aww! We all got our first kisses today!" she squealed. "Isn't that a coincidence!"

I asked, "What about Feli and Mei? What did I miss?"

"Ok, other then them, we all had our first kisses today!" Michelle said, rolling her eyes.

"Ok then. Times like this, I'm glad we already know most stuff, except for about 3 classes," I laughed before asking, "Lili, do you want to stay out here?"

She shook her head, sitting on the ground, "Ok then. It's unanimous, we're all out here!" I laughed.

"Yay!" Michelle collapsed back onto the couch, curling up into a little ball with her blanket and stuffed swordfish.

We all spread out and fell asleep. It couldn't have been later than 1:30 in the morning when I heard a bump come from the rooms. Probably just England falling off the bed, I sighed in my brain. I went into my room to get myself an extra pillow. I went back out to the living room and passed out.
