11.

Taiwan and Hungary were waiting for Seychelles to come back to her room. They were sprawled out on her bed when she came in, but quickly sat up when they heard Seychelles enter.

"Why didn't you tell us!?" Hungary and Taiwan screamed at Seychelles.

"Tell you guys what?" Seychelles asked confused at to what they were implying.

"That you are dating England!" Hungary said.

"Yeah, it seems as if the whole planet knew before us. Aren't we your friends?" Taiwan made a sad face.

Seychelles, who didn't want to bring upon any tears, rushed to her and patted her back. She sat in the middle of the two. "I'm sorry. It's just… it's been so hectic! You do not want to know what I had to go through all this week. It's been exhausting." Seychelles collapsed onto the bed, emphasizing her point on her being extremely tired. She closed her eyes. Then she opened them to see Taiwan's and Hungary's faces hovering over her, smiling.

"Tell us everything." They said in unison.

Seychelles spilled out all the details; she left some details out that were private. Taiwan and Hungary listened intently but squealed at all the, er, "romantic" parts. She especially left out the part with the cave; that was their little moment. When she finished Taiwan and Hungary pulled her into a big hug.

"God, that really was such a rollercoaster for you." Hungary said.

"I think it was romantic." Taiwan said dreamily.

"Well, I'm exhausted. So, I think I'm going to call it a night and go to sleep, bonne nuit." Seychelles pulled the covers over her head and closed her eyes.

Hungary and Taiwan walked away from Seychelles, until they spotted something lying on the edge of Seychelles's bed.

Hungary inched closer till she could see it was a neatly folded note with Seychelles's name written on the top. Hungary gently picked it up and unfolded the letter and quickly skimmed it. When she finished, she lowered the letter then spoke. "I don't think this is the right time to take a nap, Seychelles."

Seychelles whined from under the blanket, "Why?"

"Well, it seems you have a note from a very special young man."

Taiwan walked up closer, intrigued.

Seychelles sat up. "What!?"

"Ooooo! Read it! Read it!" Taiwan screamed.

Seychelles held her hand out for the paper, and used her free hand to rub her eyes.

Hungary handed the paper to Seychelles.

Seychelles held the paper up and read:

"'Ello, Seychelles. I would like you to join me on our first date. Well, I guess it wouldn't be our first date if you aren't there, or not invited… oh never mind! The point is, please show up for our first date. Also, if you were wondering about our little makeout session in the cave… No that was not our first date… That was us running from buzzards wanting our picture together where we just ran into a cave and the moment was right."

"Ooooo, you never told us that part." Taiwan said. She moved to sit on the bed next to Seychelles.

"Yeah." Hungary sat on the other side of Seychelles.

Seychelles kept reading, "So, please join me tonight at four in the park. With love, England."

Seychelles set the paper down on the blanket in front of her. Seychelles took a deep breath.

Taiwan and Hungary turned their attention on Seychelles.

"So," Taiwan spoke, "let's get you ready!"

"What?! Now?" Seychelles looked at the time. "It's already three! I should just go and cancel."

"What!? Cancel!? Oh no! You're going on that date! Think of all the work Britain must've gone through to set this date up, believe it or not you're not a very 'easy-going' girl sometimes." Hungary said.

Seychelles felt herself being hoisted up by Hungary and Taiwan. "Hey! Let me go!"

"Not until you're all pretty and ready!" Taiwan said.

Seychelles flailed her arms and legs but Hungary gripped tighter. Taiwan, seeing Hungary's firm grip, did the same.

Seychelles gave up and let them help her get ready. Seychelles took a shower and had Hungary blow her hair dry. Taiwan was busy picking out an outfit for Seychelles, while Hungary was doing Seychelles's make up and nails. Seychelles was situated in a wooden chair. She felt like she was in a beauty salon.

"I got it!" Taiwan came running back to us with a whole pile of garments.

Taiwan tossed the things to Seychelles and she caught them. Taiwan motioned her to try them on and Seychelles went behind the screen to try them on.


When Seychelles came out, Hungary and Taiwan gasped.

Seychelles was in a white sundress. The two inch straps hung down on her upper arms rather than on her shoulders. The dress fell down a couple of inches bellow her knees. Her feet were encased in turquoise ballet flats with little leather white bows on the toes, and she put her hair in her usual red ribbons. Taiwan grabbed a light pink ribbon and tied it across the waist of the dress to add more flair.

Hungary was walking around Seychelles examining her up and down. When she finished she turned to Taiwan. "You do a great job!"

"I know; I just have that gift in me!" Taiwan squealed happily.

"Oh Seychelles, what would you do without us?" Hungary asked.

Seychelles, who was standing stick straight when Hungary was examining her, laughed nervously.

"She would've canceled. Not to mention how we saved her before she went to England's." Taiwan added in. Hungary shot her a be quiet look.

"Wait what?" Seychelles asked.

"Nice going Taiwan." Hungary said. She sighed.

It took Seychelles a little while to comprehend how they had "saved" her. "Wait! Were you the ones who switched up my clothes!?"

"…If we said yes…" Taiwan's voice trailed off nervously.

"We only wanted you to look your best." Hungary said.

"Well thanks to you I embarrassed myself in front of England." Seychelles huffed.

"How did we do that?" Taiwan asked.

"I couldn't get the zipper up and well, England kind of had to help me."

Taiwan and Hungary bursted out laughing.

"It's not funny!" Seychelles yelled at them.

"Ok, ok, time to get you to your date." Hungary was still laughing a little, while Taiwan pushed Seychelles out the door. Seychelles grabbed the note that England left before the door closed on her.


England was sitting on a park bench with a picnic basket next to him. He checked his watched for the fifth time now. Relax England. It's only one minute past four. She'll be here. He turned his head when he heard footsteps coming. England stood up.

"'Ello, Seychelles."

"Bonjour England. What's this with you and notes?" Seychelles asked waving the paper in England's face.

"Pardon?" England asked confused.

"Do you have a thing with notes or something?"

England just chuckled.

Seychelles dropped the subject. "So, what did you plan?"

"I thought we could take a walk and then have a picnic."

Seychelles tensed up when she heard the word picnic.

England noticed this. He then turned agitated. "Don't worry it is all store bought."

Seychelles relaxed. "Shall we go?"

"Sure." England picked up the picnic basket and walked down the path with Seychelles.


"So," England spoke.

Seychelles turned her head to look at him. "Hm?"

"A-are you e-enjoying yourself?" England wrung his hands.

"Oui. This was a very good idea, England." Seychelles smiled at him making him blush.

Seychelles admired the green trees, the animals, and the green fields.

England kept his gaze straight. He felt a breeze to his right and turned to see Seychelles to be gone. England froze, scared. He searched all around.

"Hey! Soursils!" Seychelles had wandered away watching some birds peck at the ground.

England ran to catch up to her. England wasn't watching where he was going and ran over a big tree root. Both he and the picnic basket went flying.

"Aren't they beautiful England?" When Seychelles didn't hear an answer she spun around. "England!" Seychelles ran to the man who was sprawled on the ground. She pulled him into a sitting position. "Are you ok?"

"I'm just dandy." England said sarcastically. He winced at the pain.

"Oh my God! You're bleeding!" Seychelles's mouth dropped open at the sight of his bloody leg. He had a big deep cut on his calf and blood was dripping out.

England took a look at it. "It's no big deal. I'll be fine. Let's go on with our date." He tried to stand up but failed.

"What!? Are you mental!? You're hurt. Stay there." Seychelles ordered.

"It's not like I was planning to move." England said.

Seychelles went over the picnic basket and rummaged around until she found a bottle of water. She walked back to England. She kneeled beside his wound and carefully cleaned the cut with the water. After the cut was all cleaned Seychelles ripped the bottom of her dress.

England, seeing what Seychelles was doing, was frantic. "Seychelles! N-no you can't do that for me! Y-your dress…"

"Non, I won't hear a word about it. Besides if I never walked off this wouldn't have happened." Seychelles ripped more of the dress and wrapped his wound. Seychelles took off the bow wrapped around her waist and tied it tightly around England's calf so that the bandages would stay in place. Seychelles helped England up. Seychelles wrapped England's arm around her back and helped him walk. Seychelles bent down and swiftly picked up the picnic basket and led England out of the park.


"Will he be ok?" Seychelles asked the doctor. England was in the hospital.

"Well, he's lost a great amount of blood. However, he'll be fine." The doctor told Seychelles. He walked away.

Seychelles pulled back the curtain and saw England lying on the bed, his eyes closed. At first Seychelles thought he was dead and she was about to call the doctor, until she saw England's green eyes open. She breathed a sigh of relief and kneeled beside him on the ground.

England took Seychelles's hand and smiled. "Don't leave me. Please, Seychelles." England pleaded. His voice was soft and horse.

"I'm never going to leave you England, on one condition."

"And what's that, Chelly."

"If I ever fall… please just catch me." It sounded cheesy to Seychelles but it was just something that was troubling her all day.

"I'm never going to let you fall." It took all his energy to sit up and lean in to kiss Seychelles.

England's chuckle interrupted the kiss. Seychelles removed her lips from England's.

"Some first date, huh?" England asked with a smirk.

"I know. It's perfect." Seychelles smiled.

"No it's not! I fell and winded up in the hospital, your dress is ruined beyond repair, and we never did have our picnic." England screamed angrily.

Something occurred to Seychelles in the moment after England said that. There might be more bumps in the road ahead of us. There will be moments when we will argue, maybe even break up. We will have a lot to face in life. Politics, economy, romance, school, friends… Seychelles looked at England. He's been so strong for so long. Life hasn't been easy for him. I've seen most of his past and it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. But, he's recovered from them and moved on with his head up high. It doesn't matter what happens in the future because, this moment and all the moments that happened before and between are all that matters. Seychelles smiled. "No, you're wrong. Hospital, school, England, park… it doesn't matter where we are. The moment will always be perfect as long as you are beside me."

England smiled back at her. "When did you get all smart?"

"Let's just say I have a great empire that has mentored me well."

England smiled and Seychelles kissed him. England interrupted the kiss. "Forever and always?"

"Oui, Angleterre. Forever and always."
