AN: Lots more reviews from you lovely advice seekers! That really makes my day and gives me something besides write this research paper (something I really don't want to do.) I'm very happy that this is becoming so popular because it gives me something to do and I love writing through Gilbert's POV.

Anyway. School sucks… as always but, I'm still trying to update as frequently as I can. Which may not be too impressive but, I shall try to make it work because you people are more awesome than my school work that I'm attempting to not fail!

Tea-PartyCrasher got the question right! It was indeed from my To the Moon and Back fic. You get a cookie (or a request… or both).

Please review because reviews are awesome! And Mattie hugs reviewers!

Now it's time for me to stop rambling and Gilbert to take over.


Gilbert here… again. I'm sure you all know that already so I don't have to keep reminding you about it over and over and over again but, I will anyway. On a bit of a side note, MY BIRDIE IS BACK HOME NOW! Yes, it's awesome enough to be in all caps if I want it to be! Yes, we are completely done fighting. And yes, I am considering what he said in the letter.


Dear Awesome Prussia,

I am in serious need of help here. I feel like im falling away from my family, my mom to be exact. I swear, I've tried EVERYTHING to try to get her to show she cares. I mean, I know she does, but lately all i get out of her is "You should be more like your sister, and wear pink. Or atleast a dress!" I'm the odd girl out cuz I where black and chains, while my sis, who I must tell you is FOUR, is the "perfect girl". Do you have any ideas on what I can do?

tenten195

Tenten195,

FrenchFry apologizes once again. Anyway, family problems really suck and are not the easiest things that I can possibly help you with. With that said, don't let your mom change you because she wishes you were more like your little sister. That's just ridicoulous that she would want you to wear pink or a dress. You could talk to her about this though. Ask her why she wants you to be like that. Tell her that you want to be accepted for who and what you are. Tell her that you don't want to be compared to your sister. With parents, talking to them bluntly can go a long way.

I really hope that helps.

~Gilbert


Dear Gilbert,

Hi! I haven't met you before, but I have heard of your awesomeness. And because of that, I seek advice. Well, for starters...I'm lonely. Well, I have friends, who are awesome, but I'm looking for...um... companionship? Yes, that's it. Anyway, even though I haven't met the person that can fill that role yet...I'm still worried, because I'm easily embarrassed over things like that. How can I over come this! That, and can you tell me of a easy way to quite smoking? I've quite for the most part, but sometimes...yeah.

Thanks bunches,

Commonwealth of Virginia

P.S. My citizen buddy friend, Tea-PartyCrasher, says hi, and she's glad you liked the gifts.

Commonwealth of Virginia,

I think that's the only time I'm going to write out that entire name. Now, I shall just call you Virginia and I'm sure you're fine with that because I am awesome and that's that. You're one of my annoying… brother-in-law… maybe… I'm really not sure what to call him at the moment. Well, you're one of Alfred's states right? Well, you don't seem annoying like him. You actually acknowledge my awesome.

Anyway, loneliness sucks. Trust me, I know how that feels. To overcome that issue of embarrassment it always helps to realize that you're awesome and have no reason to be nervous or embarrassed. I can also say, from experience, that when that person comes around it's easier than you'd expect it to be.

Ah, I remember when Mattie smoked a bit. It wasn't bad or anything but, he did it occasionally. I've actually known a lot of people with smoking problems. A good thing to do is find something else to do when you're stressed. A nice walk through the park is good for that. Or the awesome act of working out works wonders as well. If you find another way to relieve stress, it should be easy.

~Gilbert


LOL

had to try!

Too bad that I'm not even blond! and I prefer chocolate instead of maple syrup (So I will let you be free, and I'll try to succed with Netherlands), and anyway I can't do that to Mattie, instead I can try to kidnap him... because he's such a cute *u* (I promise to return him to you with loads of beer and other gifts)

So... too bad about Austria and you. I liked you both together. Anyway I prefer Mattie (give him a hug from me)

~ So... since I can't drug you... for my purpose... can I drug you for other purposes? I promise I'll let Mattie to know about all the details... since I need his cooperation for what I want (Yes, he is included.. also a camera and Hungary...) Do you mind if I...?

Don't worry about West, I ended managing the situation very well (I had to call the Italian Mafia, though...)

Anyway, I have a problem (a real one) now...

I'm going to move away, to overseas actually..., and I haven't told it to anyone of my close friends (if I can call them 'friends') because they haven't, barely, contacted me... I See them once in a while... and I'm always the one who tries to procure the contact... Still, is a big new... since I'm gonna be away for over a year... and think that it's important... even if they don't show enough interest in my life... What should I do dear (sexy and awesome)lord?

Kisses and Love (I'm sending you beer and some snacks to Gilbird, and some -suspicious- cigarettes and brownies to Canada)

Ducere Isoru

Ducere Isoru,

Good luck getting the Netherlands. Hope that works well for you. Umm… can you not do anything bad to Mattie while kidnapping him? If you hurt him, I'd have to hurt you and I doubt you'd want that to happen because there's no way you could contend with my awesome. If you promise not to hurt him and bring gifts however….

Mattie will get a hug from you. Nothing to be sorry about really.

Can you not drug me? Although, if Mattie agrees, I don't think I have much of a choice anyway. That scares me quite a bit. Feli's mafia got him out? Good. That means that I don't have to go get the idiot.

That's a big move. Even if the contact is thin, I'm sure they'll care that you're leaving to go overseas. A good thing to do would be to get them to hang out with you and tell them in person. Of course, you could also tell them in a more impersonal way. Let them know that you want to keep contact and whatnot.

Those gifts sound pretty damn good.

~Gilbert


It did, and my God I like you a whole lot more for that advice. Really, the creepy bastard won't even LOOK at me anymore. So, like I promised, I'll say it. YOU. ARE. AWESOME. But I'm saying it for a completely different reason than I promised, so don't get too excited!

I've tried the second and third options when he came over to work on a social studies fair project (We're doing the history of Southern Italy when it was under Spanish rule. His idea, dammit, not mine!), but... "OTL The bastard's dense as hell and doesn't get shit. I KNOW he likes me (He has two best friends that are either a) trying to molest me/every fucking thing that moves, or b) teasing me for how easy it is to get me worked up *facepalms*, but they do care about the guy, so they told me about him l-l-liking me) but he JUST DOESN'T FUCKING GET IT. *sighs* Guess I have to keep trying. And no, telling him straight out is NOT an option, because that's just too damn awkward and embarrassing most of the time.

So, since you're... awesome... and all... C-can you tell me how you confessed to Matthew? I-I'm just curious is all!

P.S. OK, you and Matthew have sorta brought out the inner, I don't know what to call it, I guess romantic? in me. Hope things go well for you, bastard. ;) And I know that it's probably not needed, but just to be on the safe side I'll let you know: Hurt that boy and I will come into your house in the middle of the night, toting a Tommy Gun and shoot your head in after cutting off your vital regions with a rusty spork, got it? Good.

Yuri n' Chuka,

I enjoy when the difficult finally admit to my awesome. Makes me feel even more awesome than I did before which is nearly impossible anyway.

The fact that you're doing South Italy really amuses me. It's funny how similar the two of you are. The guy sounds ridiculously dense and that's annoying. If you keep trying to be subtle about it, you might get through his apparently thick head which would be a miracle in its own rite. It's always a good thing to know that he likes you as well.

Well, I am awesome and thus not made nervous easily. That being said, Mattie brings out the… pansy in me a bit. I didn't say any of this by the way. Mattie's making me write it I swear (FrenchFry: He's lying about that part). Anyway, I was friends with Mattie for a long time before we started going out. I liked him for quite a long time. I kind of fell in love with him that way. Just friends and then more, you know? Well, when the time came for a confession, I was only slightly nervous and embarrassed. I did a lot of beating around the bush before he told me to just get on with it. I then said the words, "I love you Matthew Williams." And things went from there.

I'm glad that we were able to bring out your inner romantic. I wouldn't even think of hurting Mattie. I wouldn't, even if my life depended on it. But, thanks for the concern and threat.

~Gilbert


Dear Prussia the Awesome Ruler of all things Awesome and or Remotely Awesome,

Your advice is... well, awesome... so I was hoping that I could get a little bit myself. If every time you and a friend (or a boyfriend) were supposed to hang out, and the day of they either ended up sick, or 'something came up'... what would you think? I, myself, would get the impression that they really just didn't want me. What if when you asked them about it they just denied it all? I just don't know what to think, I mean... the whole situation is just totally not-awesome. How would you react?

Thanks for the help,

SeasprayLuv

SeaspryLuv,

I know me and my advice are both awesome. It always warms my heart to see those that recognize it.

To answer your question, I would think that the person was avoiding me if they always had some other plan. If they continue to deny it, you have to use your judgment and figure out if they are being honest. It is an unawesome situation. I would probably tell the person that either things change or I walk because I don't want to deal with someone unawesome enough to always have something better to do than be with me.

~Gilbert


Gilbert~!

I need some advice from your awesomeness. :D

I have a strange problem: I'm terrified of boys. Literally, the only male people I've had a straight conversation with are my dad, brother, and grandfather. I know it's an irrational fear (like my phobia of vacuum cleaners!) and I know there's nothing wrong with guys, but I can't ever bring myself to talk to them. What do you think I should do?

Tell Mattie his letter to you was ah-dorable, and give him a hug for me! :3

Cabochon Opal,

I'm here for just that reason.

Full of strange fears huh? Not that strange in reality. I've heard of even stranger irrational fears than that of guys… or vacuum cleaners. What you should do is start talking to guys slowly. Kind of ease yourself into being able to actually hold a conversation. A few words at first then gradually increase the length of the conversation. That should help some. We don't bite… much.

I will tell him just that and hug him for you.


~Gilbert

-bows to the epitome of Awesome- Your Awesomeness, I humbly request your advice on a matter of great (well, moderate) importance.

You see, most of the other kids in my high school are (and have been for quite some time) convinced that my best friend/sibling-figure and I are dating. (well, except maybe the Japanese students, as my friend calls me "Aneki." International boarding schools are awesome!) And I can understand why they would think that; we yell "Love you" in the hall, hug a lot, take food from the others plate at will, and are nearly joined at the hip. Initially it was funny, but now it's leaning more toward "annoying." And so, I have come up with a plan: The ladies in the office like us both, so we shall convince them to let us use the intercom and declare once and for all that we are not, nor have we ever been, dating! But just in case my plan fails, I was wondering if you, the most Awesome being in existence, had any awesome advice on getting the point across?

Much love and reverence, ~Kitty

P.S. No I am not a threat to Mattie or Gilbird; Birds are buddies, not breakfast. :3 (Esp. since I'm not really a feline) -Hugs for all of you- :D

Kitty,

That may just be the most awesome plan I have heard since the last awesome plan that I concocted that involved an intercom (it's really an interesting story…).

If that doesn't work, just ignore the comments. If you want to be that close to your best friend well who cares what those annoying people called classmates think about it. Really, you should tell them that no, you're not dating and no, it's none of their damn business. People can be so annoying and cruel.

If you are no threat to them then you are cool with me. *hug accepted*

~Gilbert


Dear Prussia the Awesome,

Ok so here is a (yay!) relationship advice question.

Because we all know that awesome ex-nations who have pet birds and Canadian boyfriends give the BEST relationship advice!

OK so, I like this guy, and i think he likes me too, but when I was talking about this anime that i am obsessed with to my friend, he butted in and said that he HATED IT!oh the nerve! Do you think its still worth it to like him? On one hand, I cant tolerate anyone who badmouths my anime, and on the other hand, he is really cool and funny and sweet! (not to mention probably the only chance i would get of having a boyfriend while im still in school, but that's besides the point!) hahah I know it sounds stupid that I wouldn't like him just because he said that, but STILL its important to me!

thankies!- prittymiddy

Prittymiddy,

I do give the best relationship advice don't I? Guess that's because I have the best boyfriend out there.

I understand the importance of anime in some peoples lives and perceptions of others (not as well as the psycho that is the author of course) and how that could become a problem. If there is so much good about him, then I think you should get over the small difference regardless of how terrible it is. I personally think that you should just go for it because obviously that one point is all that you hate. Just learn to deal with the anime hate.

~Gilbert


Hei-O, Gilly the Awesome Ass Prussian.

Currently, I have had a problem with my best friend. She is ignoring me and seems to be in extremely angry states all the time. She's being...UNawesome. She's acting like an England! EXCEPT WORSE! I wish to have advice from the One Holy Awesome Gilbert.

P.S: Would you like some Finnish Dumplings? They are delicious! I awesomely promise! VERY AWESOME DUMPLINGS

Auttakaa! Kiitos.

~ Jäätelö

(My apologies, I can't speak German, but I can Speak Finnish!)

Utsukushii-Higeki,

Worse than England, how is that even possible? Well the best thing to do in these sorts of situations is to just be straightforward and tell her how you feel about things. Just tell her the truth and that she's being like this. Tell her that you want this to stop. Make sure to let her know that you care and just don't want to deal with the attitude of hers that came out of nowhere.

Awesome dumplings sound rather good to me.

Not a problem about the lack of German. Not everyone can speak the language of awesome.

~Gilbert


Dear Awesomest Man/Nation

Thank you! And it's awesome that you play the flute. What's your opinion on jazz? Love it-you should totally play jazz on your flute! We should totally do a duet! That'd be awesome ^^

Well, this isn't really an advice question. I'm really stressed right now because I'm having a lot of emotion problems and everything just feels like it's going downhill. I can't drown my problems in beer-more like I don't like the taste of it, sorry!-and drugs, plus I'm only 18 and thus it's illegal for me to do either. I just...since you said I could ask for help, can I have a hug from both you and Mattie please? I just need something to help me de-stress.

Thanks for everything!

~Ayla

P.S. I'm an Iggy fangirl too, I even RP as him in a chat!

P.P.S. That letter exchange between you and Matthew was so flipping sweet! Hope I find a guy who'd be like that someday.

Ayla,

Jazz on the flute is amazing in every way possible because well jazz sounds awesome on the flute. Duet sounds awesome as well. The flute is a fun instrument and not a girlie one like some people think it is.

Emotional problems are unawesome and so is stress. Don't worry about not liking the taste of beer. That brand of awesome is not for everyone. Hugs are given to those who ask! We will both give you awesome hugs in the hopes of getting rid of problems and stress.

Still a strange choice of character but, I digress.

Don't worry, I'm sure you will.

~Gilbert


Mon Cher,

Bonjour! It's so mice of you to give this advice to all of those who need it. Maybe you are as awesome as you and Mathieu say you are ;)

Well, I do need some advice from you my friend. As you probably know, I have been having some relationship problems with Mon Angleterre. We have been arguing rather frequently as of late and I now haven't seen him for a few days. He has, sadly, been angry with me. Apparently, he's not happy about the fact that I enjoy to grope and hit on various nations. What is the problem with harmless flirting? I don't see a problem at all. So what do you say Cher?

Also, you should really consider what Mathieu said in his letter. I think the l'amour between the two of you is just amazing (or in your words awesome). Let me know when the wedding will be ;)

By the way, want to go out for a drink or two tonight?

~Francis

Francis,

I am that awesome. In fact, I'm so awesome that I am ignoring the sexual innuendo in your statements because I'm just that damn good.

My advice: stop hitting on everyone and you won't have that damn problem. Some days, I really am ashamed to be your friend Francis. Of course it bothers him to see his lover hit on every other person in the fucking room dumbass! It would bother me too! Just stop. Oh and, if you decide to hit on Mattie again, I will come over there and kick your fucking ass. Leave my Birdie alone you damn pervert!

Not going to comment on that… just won't do it.

Yes… a drink sounds great.

~Gilbert


Ok so that's the last of them. Actually, I know that I am the advice giver but, I have an advice request from readers. Ok so I'm pretty sure that you read the Mattie letter? If not, I suggest you go and do that. Well, he made an interesting point in it. I've been thinking about what he said about our relationship and well I'm wondering if and when and how I should do it. Well, the if is more like a definitely will. I'm not sure when and how. What do you all think about that?

Next time, a letter from Feliks.

~TheAwesomeGil


AN: So that's the end of another chapter! Will anyone help poor Gilly? (If the answer is yes then just add it in your letter to him somewhere and he'll get to it and possibly take your advice)

I'm so glad that this fic has been going so very well! That makes my damn day!

Please review (and if anyone here has any request for a Christmas fic… let me know)
