Hello! (ѳΛѳ) Too… Tired and I'm sooo SORRY for updating late because we need to plan for our JS TURN-OVER not prom. We don't have any prom in our school but a turn over, so that'd why this chapter will be about the prom/school dance! ŏ ̨ō Sorry, I'm really lacking some ideas! (QДQ)

ANOTHER NOTE: I see that you don't like the 3-sum (u know wat I mean….) on the previous chapter, so I decided to edit that part on the chapter 21… Review please! X(

New Year, new beginnings…

It has been since they had their Christmas party last year. Now its time for them to go back to school after the vacation.

February fifth…

"Hey!" Matthias pats Berwald's back.

"What?"

"How did you spend your vacation?" he smiled, "W'll, Isn't we w'nt to T'no's House?" Berwald replied. "No, aside from that." Matthias blinked. "N'thing, I'm in j'st my ho'se (house) th'n." he rest his chin on his hand. Matthias turned around and saw Tino walking inside the room.

"Tino! Hi! Good Morning!" Matthias greeted. "Oh, Hi Mat!" he replied with a smile and put down his bag on his chair. "It's February right? So that means that its almost our prom." Matthias sighed. "Yeah, right…" he sighed. "And I don't even have any date." Tino sighed. "Why don't ask some of the gals?" he asked. "Nah. Just leave it." he replied.

"The month is February isn't?" Elizaveta looked at her pocket calendar lazily. "Yeah, Valentines again?" Bella asked. "Speaking of February… " She looked at Antonio whose birthday will be at the twelfth of the month. "It's Toni's Birthday isn't?" Amelia leans on the chair in front of the girls. "Yeah, He will be 20 this time." Bella smiled, "It's also Kiku's birthday on the eleventh." Amelia added. "What's your plan now?" Elizaveta asked her. "Well, make him chocolates?" Bella puts her finger close to her lips. "That's so sweet!" Lili exclaimed.

"Toni, do you have any plans?" Gilbert asked, "Plans for what Gilbo?" Antonio replied. "You know, for your birthday… and Valentines?" The last word was expressed in a sarcastic tone. "Well, I want to have my birthday to celebrate with Bella and with my friends." He said as he scribbles something on the paper. "And now, what's your plan?" Gilbert asked.

"Let's see…"

Asian's Room…

"Valentines is coming!" Mei said excitedly, "Yeah, and it will be Kiku's birthday on the eleventh-aru!" Yao spanked Kiku's back who was drawing a manga. "Ow! What?!" he squirmed. "Uhm, what's that?" Yao points at his doodle. "Oh, This is Mikasa Ackerman from the anime that I watch, it would be her birthday this coming February 10 so I decided to draw a fan art of her and post it on my Pixiv account." He replied. "Oh yeah, I know that website, its one of the most famous Japanese art website right?" Maria asked.

"Yes."

A sudden tug from the back of Yao was felt. "What?!" Yao asked. "Uhm, Aniki, will you excuse us for a while?" Im asked, "Okay, it would be better." He replied as they went in the corner

"What do you want?"

"Kiku's birthday will be soon right?" he asked, "Yeah, and your plan is?" Lin asked. "We'll prepare him a surprise!" Im whispered happily. "Where will it be held?" Jun asked. "Here of course!" Im smiled, "We'll plan for that later on Skype, so you guys better be online!" Yao said.

"Okay!"

Gilbert's POV

"Gil,"

"Oh, Roderich, it's you, what is it?" I eat my French fries. "I have a feeling that you will invite Lizzy on a dance huh?" he asked sarcastically. "So what?" I replied. "After you broke up with her?" I sipped my soda. "Well I moved on already since 9th grade." He fixed his glasses up. "I would only like to have a request." He pauses as I froze on my meal. "No, not a request, a promise actually." He said. "What is it?" I asked. "As a previous lover and a present friend of Liz now, I would like you to promise me, that you will neither hurt her nor break her heart." He said as the rim of his glasses shone from the sunlight.

Wait… Roddy was Liz's ex boyfriend?! Since when?

I swallowed and stare at him for a second. I'm pretty sure that he's really serious at his words. "You know we were that frienemies until now and I trust you. And don't let that trust be wasted." He finished. "You're one of my awesome frienemies since we were kids you know." I said. "So, uhm, why did'ya broke up?" I asked, yet he didn't reply. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No, it's okay, she's yours now." He paused. "Sorry but I can't tell you, its something personal." He explained. "But since you're Liz's ex boyfriend, do you have some any ideas what make her happy?" I smiled while he chuckled.

"What's funny?"

"Nothing, I see that you don't have any ideas for the upcoming valentines and this upcoming prom huh?" He smirked. "Well, yeah… I supposed." I try to not look at him. "You're the same old Gil…" he sighed.

Normal POV…

"Hey bastard, It's you're birthday and prom is coming, what are you planning to do?" Lovino said leaning against the pillars of the buildings. "Uhm, You know, invite her?"Antonio tuned his guitar.

"How? And you know that Valentines is coming."

"I don't know… maybe, give her churros?" he suggested. "You always make churros for her. Isn't that too cliché?" Lovino interrupted.

"Then what?"

"Invite her personally for the prom and make sure you dress perfectly at that night. Then while you were dancing, uhm, you can ask that you guys would go privately at a small pavilion and there you will invite her to have a date and celebrate your birthday with her when you drove through her house." He explained. "That would work!" Antonio smiled.

"¡Gracias Lovino!" Antonio gave him a pat on his shoulder. "Nah, it doesn't matter. Us Italians were known to be romantic other than the Francs." He explained.

"Hey there Artie!" Matthias slapped the back of Arthur on his back. ""What the bloody hell do you want?!" he snorted. "Sorry, well, have you asked Amy for the prom?" he asked. "Its too early for that! The prom will be at the eighteenth." He said. "Well, yeah, I know, but you should ask her early before somebody will steal her from you!" Matthias teased. "Oh stop it you!" Arthur rolled his eyes. "Eh! Just joking!" he gave him a wide smile. "I gotta go bye!" he waved.

"Amy?"

"Yes?"

"What will you do during the prom?" Natalya asked. "We will dance of course! Then we will all eat buffets and jamming after! Why?" Amelia replied.

"Uhm…"

"Don't tell me that you didn't experience prom last year." She raised an eyebrow. "Well I didn't have any dates before you." she explained. "How 'bout you?"

"Well, yeah, I have, with Arthur… but he's two feet to dance." She giggled.

"Oh…"

"Don't worry! We'll help you up!" she winked.

"Thanks." Was all that she could say.

"Guys! Has anybody has seen Lukas?" Im interrupted. "No, he's absent, why?" Amelia asked. "Well, I was to give this kimchi that he wants." He replied. "Lemme give this to his brother." Natalya offered and reached for the package. "Thank you!" he smiled. "See 'ya!" he runs along the corridors.

February 10th… 8pm.

The Asians decided to have a group video chat at Skype and as always, Yao was on the lead.

"Aiyah! Is everybody here-aru?" Yao started. "No, we're here on our own houses…" Im joked.

"Haha… very funny…" The team planned for their surprise as they were finish and logged out.

"So, it's settled?" Yao asked.

"Yes!" Every one confirmed and logged out…

On the other hand, Kiku was posting his artwork at Pixiv. "I wonder what wir (will) be my day looks like?" he sighed. "Wir Im grab my chest again?" he snorted.

The next day…

Kiku's POV…

I went to school alone and he greeted one of his friends. "Ohayou gusaimas Yao-kun!" I bowed but he just passed me by. "What's wrong?" I murmured.

"Mei I've already posted my-"

"HEY LIN! We have a test at Physics isn't?" Mei exclaimed loudly. "Yeah, its making my brain explode!" she complained.

What's up with these guys?! I thought.

I sat on my seat sadly. "Didn't they know it's my day?" I sighed and I just quietry scribbres (scribbles) on my paper. I became sirent and I was bored for hours until its homeroom time.

Mei stood up and creared her throat….

"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,

I'll sail the world to find you…" she sang.

Kiku was confused and don't know what's going on. He just listened to the song that was being sung.

"If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,

I'll be the light to guide you…" Yao forrowed.(follwed)

"Find out what we're made of,

When we are called to help our friends in need…" Maria continued. As the rest joined the song.

"You can count on me like 1 ,2 ,3 I'll be there ,and I know when I need it I can count on you like 4,3,2,

And you'll be there, cause that's what's friends are supposed to do, oh yeah,

Wooh… Wooh… Yeah, Yeah,"

They all sang as I was jaw-dropped and was touched because I thought that no one cares about me. "You guys… I thought you were… I HATE YOU!" I was speechress and Mack pats me on my back with his fan, "We're not that mean to forgot your birthday!" he smired.

"Happy Birthday Kiku!" they arr (all) said in unison as they give me cards and gifts for him. "M-minna-san… Arigatou gusaimashita!" I smired.

"Aww…" Mei cooed.

"GROUP HUUUG!" Im shouted as he hurriedry buried his face on my chest and hugged me. "Ch-Chotto matte!" I was being squished be the gang…

Normal POV

"Tomorrow's your day mon ami…" Francis points his pent at him. "Yeah," Antonio replied. "But, I will celebrate it with Bella, Lovi and Feli." He said. "Okay, I understand why you will not understand us Anton." Francis played his pen. "Did I say something about that?" he looked at him. "No, I just say it…"

February 12…

Antonio's POV…

I went to school with Lovi and Feli as always, but this time, I was the one who fetch them from their home because I was too kind because it was my birthday. I drove my red Mercedes Benz car and fetch them in through their house I saw them waiting from their gate and parked my car.

"Ciao Antonio! Buon Compleanno!" Feliciano greeted me as he gave me a tight or should I say suffocating hug. "¡Gracias Feliciano!" I smiled as he handed me a paper bag. "What's this?" I asked as I open the gift and saw a container and a High-class bottled perfume.

"What's inside the container?"

"Carbonara!" he exclaimed. "You're such a boast to show off your flashy car bastard…" Lovino smirked. "Buon compleanno Toni…" he rest his elbow on his shoulder and gave him a small package. He opened it and saw small miniatures of tomatoes inside. "L-Lovino… It's so cute!" he exclaimed. "¡Gracias Lovino!" he smiled as he messes with Lovino's hair. "Hey! Cut it off bastard!" he pushes him off. "Now let's go before we're late for school!" Feliciano pushed them inside the car.

They just arrived at the school just in time as Toris passed me by. "Happy birthday Toni!" he smiled. "Thanks Toris!" I smiled. "Happy birthday!" Eduard greets me and smiled. "Happy birthday Antonio!" Raivis bowed with respect. "Thank you guys!" I smiled as we walked through their class room.

I was just to put my bag on my seat when…

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOONIIII!" Gilbert hooked his arm on me neck and pushed me down and messed my hair. "Ow! Thank you Gilbert!" I smiled. "I got you this!" he hand me a small box and smiled. "Thanks, bro…" I smiled and put my bag on my desk.

Somebody covered my eyes from my back. "Guess who…" it said. The smell from the hands was familiar. "Bella?" I turned around and saw her smiled at me and gave me a peck on my cheek.

"Ooh la la…" Francis exhaled from his seat.

"For you…" she handed me a gift wrapped in red and orange with pink ribbon on it. I pulled the ribbon and it revealed embroidery inside a gold picture frame with a picture of us five: Feli, Lovi, me, Bella and her brother. A "Happy birthday Antonio!" was stitched at the bottom of the picture with a subtitle: "From your Family…" the embroidery was stitched in a black Aida cloth with so many colors was stitched on it.

"¡Muchas gracias querida!" he exclaimed and gives her a tight hug. "It's been a long time since I didn't do embroidery, so I decided to make you one!" she tip-toed up and down repeatedly like a child and was blushing in red. "I- I hope you like it…" she manages to stutter… "I like it! It's that your brother was just a bit scary when he is smoking from the corner."I point her brother from the corner. "Stop it!" she laughs and pushed hi m away.

We finished our classes at 4:30 in the afternoon. I hurried home and prepare for our birthday bonding with my friends, I changed my clothes into casual and I drove to the Italian brothers and to Bella as we head for the mall to watch movies, eat at to the Spanish restaurant and played at a gaming place and buys tokens to play with pick-a-prize with claw machine. "Hey! May I try that?!" he asked cheerfully. "Yeah, sure, go ahead!" Bella said as Feliciano run towards the machine and inserts a token inside. His goal was to get a brown cat plushie. He moved the joystick with his tongue out as he focused on his toy. Until the claw grabbed the toy

"Yay! I got i-" he exclaimed but the claw just slipped from the toy. "Hey! That's unfair!" he said as he hits his fists the window like a child. "Stop it Feli! It's just a damn plushie toy!" Lovino pulled his curl. "Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "Lemme get that token and get that stupid, lifeless creature!" he snatch the token form his hand and positioned himself in front of the machine and started to play. He moves the joystick and he gets the toy. But he had the same fate as his brother.

"What the Fu-"

"Hey Lovi! There's a kid beside you!" Antonio gave him a warning as the little girl eyed him and blanked. "I mean… I can't believe that I lost!" he changed his sentence. "Claw machines were always like that, they slipped easily from the toy." The child said as she puts her token inside. Fortunately, she gets her prize. "But not all of them." She added. "How did she…" Lovino stuttered. "Scary…" Feliciano shivered. We decided to go home before late at night came.

I stop the boys at their home in 7:30 in the evening. "Bye!" I said. "Goodbye Antonio!"Feliciano waved at me. "Good night bastard… good luck with her…" he grinned. "Yeah, I got this!" I whispered. I drove to Bella's house at 7:30 pm. "Guess we're here." I said parking my car but she stares at me.

"What?"

"Happy birthday, Toni." He smiled. "Yeah, thank you." I smiled as she was about to went outside but I pulled her hand. "Can you be my date on the prom?" I asked and she give me a kiss as a reply. "I'll take that as a yes?" I raised an eyebrow. "You know my answer always Antonio…" she giggled as she headed to her house inside.
