(DO NOT OWN OR CLAIM TO OWN HETALIA! JUST THIS STORY!)

~~~~~x~~~~~x~~~~~

Allistor was whistling a cheerful tune as he walked home. He had a huge grin across his face. He had a great afternoon, not only did he just saved a life but he met the most beautiful girl ever. He couldn't help but laugh to himself. He was such in a great mood that even his little sister Alice can't bring him down. He was now wondering what Madeline was doing at this very moment, he was hoping she was as excited as he was about this sudden date. Allistor actually never been this excited about anything, ever.

Allistor couldn't keep his mind off the sweet, cute, beautiful, shy Canadian and he honestly didn't want to. But his mind wondered about that jerk who upset her. For some reason, he felt like really hurting that person because he really couldn't see the reason for anyone to hurt someone as amazing as Madeline. He knew he only just met her today but there was this connection, a real taking to the Canadian he liked. Something about her really caught his attention and not only that but his heart. But he didn't want to ruin anything by being in a rush or feel certain things right now. After all his last relationship had him real low, being played wasn't fun at all and he really wasn't the type to be like that, to cheat and such. He may look like a bad boy but that really wasn't the case. He just liked tattoos and piercings.

He grinned as he took out a cigarette pack from his pocket and took one out. He put the cigarette to his lips before putting his cigarette pack away and started to look for his lighter that he seemed to be having a hard time to find, he now stood outside of his house, still searching for his favorite lighter, "Oh bloody hell, where is that stupid thing." His said with his thick Scottish accent.

"You know that horrid habit is going to bloody kill you someday you wanker." Said the female with a British accent. Allistor grinned, looking up a little sister Alice, "Ie, I know it will."

Alice rolled her eyes, "Bloody git." She muttered before walking passed Allistor and into the house.

Allistor chuckled after Alice closed the door then he found his lighter, "There ye are you pain in the arse." He grinned then lite his cigarette and sat down on the steps, taking a long drag from the cigarette before holding out his cigarette, letting the smoke he inhaled sit in his lung while staring at the cigarette. He slowly let the smoke out as he thought, 'Maybe I would stop smoking… Madeline might not like it, well she doesn't seem the type to mind but I don't want to chase her off…' He sighed and held the cigarette to his lips once more and repeated until his was done.

Allistor put out his cigarette before getting up and going into the house. Alice was nowhere in sight and this made him extremely relieved. So he went upstairs to his oddly clean room with the walls littered with posters of everything and anything Scottish with a few of his favorite bands.

Elsewhere, Madeline has already gone through her whole wardrobe in the last 20 minutes and it looked like she had been robbed. She groaned as she fell back onto her back, "Nothing!" She whined and she grabbed her stuffed polar bear she named Kumajirou, "Kuma, I don't know what to do?" She spoke to the stuffed animal and sighed, "Ugh!" She got up and grabbed her cellphone because she needed some help to go shopping and look for something breath taking.

Madeline had no idea why she was getting worked up over this. Maybe it was that it was her very first date ever. She looked through her contact list to see if she knew anyone that could help her. She smiled when she said a good friend's name, Havryil Braginskaya.

"I think he would help me, more than the others." She smiled and clicked his number. The phone started to ring and she started to chew on her thumb nail nervously.

"Привіт~!" Havryil said in his normal cheerful, kind voice.

Madeline giggled softly, her nervousness disappearing, "Hello Havryil, this is Madeline." It was like she can hear him smile more.

"Maddie! Hi! How are you, friend?" He said excitedly as he was happy to hear from a friend.

Madeline sat up, "W-Well, I w-wanted t-t-to ask y-you something." She stuttered out shyly.

"Like what Maddie?" He chuckled lightly on the other side. Madeline blushed, "W-Well, I got a-a date t-tomorrow…" She heard a gasp from Harvyil, "Oh! Congratulations Maddie!"

She giggled again, "Thank you, I-I was w-wondering if you c-can help me find a-a dress for the o-occasion. A-And I really don't have a-anyone else to ask… P-Please." She whispered nervously.

There was silence from the phone and Madeline waited quietly, "H-Havryil?" She whispered his name a little louder, "Da, I will help you Madeline." She sighed in relief, "T-Thank you, c-can we meet at the mall in half an hour?" She looked at the time and she only had two hours, "Da, I will meet you there." She smiled, "T-Thank y-you again, see you soon."

"Da." Havryil hung up and Madeline giggled lightly before grabbing her purse. She looked around for her car keys then found them on the kitchen counter.

As she walked out the door, Alfred was just walking up the walkway, "M-Maddie!" Madeline frowned slightly at him, "What d-do you want A-Alfred?"

Alfred frowned, "Maddie… I feel like a total jerk for forgetting about earlier, and I really wanted to make it up to you."

Madeline sighed, "N-Not right now Al.. I have somewhere t-to be at the m-moment." She walked pass him.

Alfred grabbed her arm gently, "P-Please Maddie… You're my best friend a-and you're like a little sister to me… I-I… Please d-don't be mad at me anymore." Madeline stared at the cement as he spoke. She can feel tears build up as she listened to every word and also the guilt in her best friend's voice.

"Maddie?" Alfred said with fear in his voice. He was afraid that she didn't want anything to do with him and he really couldn't blame her, he was a jerk but he didn't want to lose such an important person to his life because really, she was the only person that knew him better than anyone else.

"I have to meet someone Al… I can't talk about this right now." Madeline pulled away from Alfred and refused to look at him because her tears were running down her cheeks. She got into the car and risked to look at her best friend who saw that she was in tears because of him and he quickly looked away.

Madeline frowned and pulled out of the drive away then drove to the mall. She tried to calm down and focus on the road.

Alfred watched Madeline go and frowned. He sat down on her steps and decided he was going to wait for her.

Allistor was in his room also looking for something to wear as he was on the phone, making reservations for the date, "Yes, for two people." He rolled his eyes as he sat down on his desk chair, "Yeah, nonsmoking… Yeah that would be great…" He smirked, "Yeah, for 7 tomorrow… Allistor Kirkland, alright thanks." He hung up his cell phone and tossed it on his bed. He grinned as he looked at his simple black suit with white shirt. He put his things aside.

He yawned and plopped down on his bed, looking up at his ceiling and thought, 'This is going to be great!' His thoughts were interrupted by his brother Connor, who opened the door, "Alice ordered in, come and get it before the others eat everything." He said quickly before rushing downstairs.

Allistor jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, he heard Alice ranting, "You bloody animals! My cooking is not that bad!"

"Oh shut your trap Alice! Your cooking near killed me!" Said another female with an Irish accent, and that was Allistor's other sister Bridget. He can hear Gavan chuckle as the two bicker with each other. Connor was busy wolfing down his pizza to care.

Allistor smirked at his family and sat down grabbing his pizza when the two women looked at him, "Did you wash your god damn bloody hands?!" Bridget yelled, with Alice glaring flaming daggers at him. He raised his brow, "Ie, I have, ever thought about asking the other two." He started to eat his pizza.

Bridget smacked Allistor's pizza from his hand, "You stinkin' liar! Go wash you're filthy hands! All of you!" She glared at everyone who got up quickly to wash their hands, "Bloody idiots." Alice commented.

Bridget looked at Alice, "Get along." She barked. Alice grumbled and stormed up stairs.

In the bathroom Connor and Gavan were shoving each other to wash their hands first, Allistor was leaning against the wall in the hallway, watching his brothers with an amused smirked, "Don't have all day you two." They looked at him and Gavan took that distraction to wash his hands quickly, then Connor after him. By then Alice stomped over to the bathroom, pushing Allistor aside, "Out of my way you ninny."

Allistor rolled his eyes, "Rude." He muttered but let her go. When she was done, he went to wash his hands and went downstairs to eat.

Madeline was trying on a pretty light blue sundress. She was looking herself over and she groaned, "This is hopeless…" She walked out of the dressing room and walked over to the stand and stood there, looking at Havryil who was looking at her, he rubbed his chin, "They all look lovely Maddie but… They just don't seem you." She huffed out in defeat, "I give up." She turned around and walked back into the dressing room and changed back into her clothes.

She walked out and sat by Havryil, "I don't know how to shop…" She mumbled, "And I am not much help." Havryil said as he felt bummed out too.

"Madeline?" A voice said from behind them. Madeline turned her head and her eyes grew in shock, "F-Francis?!" She blinked.

Francis smiled, "Oui! Oh it's wonderful to see you again my sweet little cousin." Madeline got up quickly, walking over to him and hugged him tightly, "It is my dear cousin." She smiled up at him and he smiled back at her.

"I'm so glad you're here Francis, I really need your help." Francis cocked his eye brow up, "Oh?" Madeline blushed, "I-I have a date tomorrow a-and it's my f-first date s-s-so…" Francis gasped, putting his hand over her chest, "Non! Say no more Madeline, I will help you!"

All the while Havryil sat there awkwardly. He cleared his throat and stood up, "I have to get going Maddie." Madeline looked at him with a small frown, "Oh, well ummm okay Havryil." She smiled slightly and gave her friend a hug who welcomed it kindly, "Call me and tell me how things go. Da?"

Madeline giggled and nodded, "I will, bye." She waved at Havryil and he waved back before disappearing around the corner.

Francis on the other hand watched with a smirked, "Who is that Madeline?" Madeline looked at her cousin and she blushed, shaking her head quickly, "Just a friend. His name is Havryil and I met him in one of the events at the university."

Madeline turned and walked over to a rack of dresses. She started to look through them and Francis was close behind, "So who it this, ami special?" Francis spoke out as he looked through some red dresses.

Madeline blushed, "A-Allistor." She was looking through some purple dresses. Francis nodded slightly, "When did you meet this, Allistor?" He gave her a sideward glance, "T-Today." She whispered, hoping he didn't hear but he did.

Francis stopped and looked at her, "Ce qui?" Madeline looked at him, "I met him today… This afternoon actually… He saved my life." She whispered the last part.

She looked up at Francis to see his pale face and wide eyes, "S-Save, how?" Madeline chewed on her lip, "I-I guess I didn't see where I was going, m-my mind was blank and I nearly because road kill.. Then he saved me and took me out for ice cream… That was when he asked me out to dinner…" She blushed with a bright blush.

Francis nodded slowly at this information, "Okay." He turned and looked over a dress, "How about this, Madeline?' He held out a cute, red, strapless satin dress that went down to her knees. It had a white stain around her hips, sort of like a belt. It let the two strands hang from the other side.

Madeline looked at it, "I'll t-try it." She took it from her cousin and went to the dressing room. She put on the dress and she fit it perfectly, "W-Wow." She looked herself in the mirror, than she walked out of the dressing room shyly and stood out for Francis to see.

Francis's eyes sparkled, "Oh my, my, my… You look beautiful Madeline." Madeline giggled, blushing, "R-Really?" He nodded quickly, "Oui, but you just need a few things to touch it up and you only have 30 minutes. So get out of that dress, buy it and come with me!"

Madeline smiled brightly before going back into the dressing room to change. Once she was done she went to buy the dress. She looked for her cousin Francis and of course she saw him flirting with a cute girl. She giggled and skipped over to her cousin, "Ready Francis?"

Francis looked at his happy cousin and chuckled, "Oh yes." He looked at the girl and kissed her hand, "Another time perhaps." He was then dragged away by Madeline, "You were always a charmer cousin." She giggled, she was just so happy.

After 20 minutes they had everything Francis thought his cousin needed, including contacts, make up and many other things. Madeline was practically shining with happiness by then. She was putting her bag in the back of her car. "Thank you so much Francis, you have no idea how much this means to me." Francis was beaming with pride, he never left so good to help someone out and get all this praise, "Anything for my only cousin." He hugged her tightly before going off to look for his car in the large parking lot.

Madeline giggled and got into her car to drive home. When she got there her cell phone was ringing and she didn't know the number, "I-It could be him." She chewed her lip and answered it, "H-Hello."

"Hello, lass." Madeline's heart was now racing in her chest at what felt like at full speed, "O-Oh! Hi Allistor." Her smiled grew also, "I just wanted to let you know I'll be picking you up at 6:30 tomorrow and… I miss you already." He mumbled the last part.

Madeline giggled shyly, "You miss me already?" Her cheeks were flaming, "Ie. That doesn't creep you does it? Because if it does, I'm sorry…" She can tell he was nervous, "N-Non, it's not c-creepy. It's cute." She giggled again, "I'll see and talk to you tomorrow Allistor." She whispered softly, "Until then, Madeline." And she hung up. She sighed softly, "Oh boy." She got out of her car, with her bags.

Alfred looked up at Madeline when she drove in and watched her quietly as she was on her cell phone. For one reason or another, he was extremely jealous that this stranger took all the attention away. He was now glaring at the grass.

"Alfred? W-What are you still doing here?" He looked up at Madeline as she was holding a lot of shopping bags, "I still wanted to talk to you… You said you didn't have time so I waited."

Madeline sighed, "Come o-on in." She walked around him and opened the door. Alfred got up and also went inside, "Maddie, I really am sorry and it won't happen again." She put her things on the couch. She turned around and looked at Alfred, "Don't w-worry about it Al." She walked over to him and gave him a hug.

Alfred sighed in relief and hugged her back, "Thanks Maddie, I was really scared." He felt tears falling down his cheeks.

Madeline looked up and smiled softly, wiping his tears away, "D-Don't cry Alfred. I-I'm not going anywhere." She kissed his cheek and hugged him again before going over to her things. Alfred was smiling cheerfully, "So, what did you get Maddie?!"

She giggled and pulled out the dress, "This is for my date tomorrow. Francis helped me get everything together." Alfred grinned, "You're going to look great Maddie!" She blushed, "I h-hope so." She looked at the time, "A-Are you hungry Al?" He nodded his head quickly.

Madeline put her things away in her room before ordering two large pizzas, she knew Alfred would eat most of the pizza.
