Three months have passed since France had got back at England and America.
America sat in across from France. France seemed to be increasingly moody to America. America was relived that France had come to his party celebrating Halloween that was 2 days ago. France didn't even come in a costume at all. Nor did he bother England to lighten up.
America will admit to himself that he can be nosy and a bit oblivious to other countries. At this point in time he was sure that he has been reading France correctly. France's behavior has been slightly changing since America took his TV back and England scolded France for replacing his tea. The next week after France had taken TV everything between France, England, and him seemed to back to normal. Then, the week after that America had seen France had ignored England one day. France hadn't ignored England the next day so he had thought nothing of it.
Yet, another day went by without that strange behavior. Two days after America caught France ignoring England. France had refused to even make the effort to bicker with England. France had just called England a black sheep and turned his back on England. England immediately tried to get France's attention back on him, but it was to no avail. That day it was as if England didn't exist.
Then the changes in France started to rapidly increase. France continued to barely say a sentence to England. It grew where he would barely say anything to anyone. He would rarely give his opinion in meetings or flirt with the maids. He would just stare off into space or was lost in thought. He would even more frequently smoke a cigarette when it used to only be occasionally. He even seemed to drink more wine than was average for him. He was even unkempt for himself. He would be less matching with his clothing and his hair grew longer. He wasn't a total mess but it was unkempt for France.
These weird behavior were scaring America. They have even gotten frequent enough that England has expressed deep concern for France to America. England confiding in America was almost completely inexistent. It told America how drastically France was changing. Worrying America sick he decided to invite France the Halloween party to see if he could find a reason France was changing.
"What is it, America? You 'ave been staring at me for over 15 minutes." France sighed putting out his cigarette.
"I could say the same for you, Francis. What is going on? LET ME HELP!" America stared at France with intent focus.
"Nothing is going on Alfred. You are delusional. I am perfectly fine."
"Yeah and I was raised by a vicious rabid bunny. Dude, are ya depressed?" America felt that France was exhibiting all kinds of crazy depression vibes.
"Non! Why would I be?" Ahh classic denial America noted.
"It's okay to be depressed once in a while France. I was once…why do think I behaved as I did in the 1920's? I was out of control just as you are now, but not in a partying way. You are out of control the way you are drasticly changing. You definitely are not yourself." A dark shadowed had passed through America's eyes. It was gone before France noticed replacing it was steely determination. Sighing France finally answered.
"Why are you so serious and attentive at times then completely cheery and oblivious zhe next?" In way that sentence gave America all the information he needed from France.
"It's just the way I roll, dude. I have no idea, I just am. Besides what is wrong with wanting to be a hero?"
Part 6
France was sad to say that America's nosiness finally paid off. He mad the correct assumption that France had fallen into a bit of a slump. He had thought that things would change a little bit in how the other countries would treat him after his revenge. Absolutely nothing had changed.
At first he furious taking it out on England any way he could. Soon though his anger cooled. His feeling started into apathy then into a small depression. He did not however change completely to the way he was feeling. It was to gain the attention the others and to show them that he was unhappy. He wanted them to figure out why he was unhappy. Though that had never came. Though barely any had noticed his slight changes. It pained him to be less than fashionable and be less than loving. America had noticed but wanted him say the why of it. That is something France would never tell.
He called Pierre over for his next meal he had made his companion. Pierre let out a happy chirp and flitted over to his dinner. France was so busy watching his adorable bird eat he didn't hear the footsteps to alert him that someone had entered his house. It was only when Pierre looked up from his dinner and frantically chirped at France that he was alerted. France turned in the direction Pierre was staring. He gasped at the person he was seeing.
"What are you doing here!" France exclaimed. Pierre chirped loudly in alarm landing on France's shoulder. The man smiled and drew his sword.
For those of you who have read up to this chapter may have noticed I have changed the summary a bit. I changed my mind on how the rest of the story will progress. Due to a bit of a writer's block. Hopefully it will not steer you away from the my story.
Also, thank you to those who have reviewed, favorited and followed! :D
