A/N: Just a short fem!Canada story that I didn't know where it was going so... yeah... Hope you like!
"Matilda!"
Matilda turned around and was tackled to the ground by her older brother, his boyfriend right behind him.
"A-Alfred! Get off, I can't breathe!" The blonde girl shoved Alfred off her chest.
"But I need you~!"
"What about Yong-Soo?"
"Yeah? Do I not count anymore?"
"You count! I can't do the things I do with you with Mattie!"
Okay, too much information. Matilda stood up and dusted off her dress. She fixed her pigtails and cleaned off her glasses. "Is that all you wanted Al? Because I was going to meet Kat so we could go shopping."
"Maybe~" Alfred smiled smugly. "Maybe I just wanted to spend time with my sister! Is that such a crime? We'll go with you guys."
"Yeah! Shopping originated in Korea so it's only natural I should come!" Yong-Soo proclaimed.
"Fine. But you're going to behave." Matilda pointed her finger and looked at each boy in the eyes. "Understand?" They both nodded. "I feel like a mother with you two around."
"You'd make a good mommy, Mattie!" Alfred said, hugging his sister around the waist. "But, you can't be a mommy anytime soon." This was said seriously.
Matilda blushed. "S-Shut up, Al. You don't get any say in that kind of stuff." She pulled away from Alfred and walked ahead of the two boys.
"I'm just saying!" Alfred defended before wrapping himself around Yong-Soo. "We can't have babies and I want some! But you have to wait until you're older."
"You sound like Papa and Dad." The mall was coming up and Matilda walked faster, trying to create some distance between the boys.
Katyusha was waiting outside the entrance, looking for her friend.
"Hello Kat!" Matilda called once she got closer. Her friend looked up and waved.
"Hello, Matilda! Oh! I see you brought your brother. Hello Alfred, Yong-Soo." She waved at the boys also.
"Hey Kat. Don't mind us, we're just tagging along." Yong-Soo nodded.
"O-Okay. Um, are you ready to go in, Matilda?"
"Yes. Did you want to go somewhere specific or did you just want to browse?"
"Oh, I didn't want to go anywhere specific, do you?"
"No. I guess we'll just walk around a bit." The two girls giggled and walked in, followed by the boys.
It was packed inside, like always. The mall was a popular spot in town and it was always crowed. The group quickly got into rhythm and followed the flow of the crowd.
"How's your sister? Is she taking Ivan's move alright?"
"Natalia is fine. I think." Katyusha gave an unsure look. "She hasn't showed any signs of worrying or anything. I think she's taking it okay for now."
"That's good, I guess. As long as she hasn't killed anyone." Matilda giggled lightly. It wasn't really a joke. Everyone who knew Natalia believed she would one day kill a man.
"Yes, it is. How is Gilbert? Ivan told me on the phone that he's a really straightforward guy."
"He is, but he's not overbearing like Alfred." Matilda glanced back and didn't see the boys. "W-Where'd they go?"
Kat looked back and the girls looked around them for a few moments before the Ukrainian girl pointed. "He's over by the escalators, Matilda."
"I hope he doesn't try and-" Matilda broke off her sentence when Alfred did just as she was hoping he wouldn't and began walking up the down escalator. "That's how he got kicked out last time he came here." The girls watched as Yong-Soo ran to catch up. The people using the escalator correctly all tried to scoot to the side as the two teens made their way up.
"I say we leave them," Matilda waved off the boys and began walking again. "If they get kicked out, it's their own fault."
Kat laughed. "He really likes going against the crowd."
"In more than one way."
The girls continued talking and walking aimlessly for a while more before decided to browse a shop. They were quickly accompanied by the boys who were only given a warning for their little tirade.
"Try on this skirt, and this shirt!" Alfred threw clothes at Matilda and shoved her into a changing room. "And show us when you're done!"
Matilda, flustered from being pushed around so much, only nodded as Alfred shut the door to her room. She locked the door before looking at what her brother handed her. The shirt was a button-up black and white pinstripe and the skirt was black and ruffled.
"This looks ridiculous, Al!" she called through the door.
"Show us!"
Matilda sighed and threw on the clothes and opened the door. She stood on her shaky feet and looked at her brother skeptically.
"You look great, sis!" Alfred said, giving two thumbs-up.
"Like a million bucks, da ze!"
"You look very pretty, Matilda."
Matilda blushed and stuttered out, "F-Fine. You win this one, Al." She shut the door again and changed back into her red dress.
When she was out again, Kat was looking at a rack of shirts and Alfred and Yong-Soo were gone again.
"Where'd they go?"
"Oh! Alfred said something about a dress and then ran off."
