Ludwig's POV

Things had been going well with Amelia, and he had been about to ask her out on a proper date, when Feli and Gilbert came in. He loved them both dearly as the siblings he would always view them as, but really? That was their idea of match making?

Feli running in and jumping him right in front of Amelia, and kissing him in a very unwanted manner? The only explanation he got at the time was a whispered, "Shhh, I'm helping. We'll make her jealous, because at this rate you'll both be dead before you tell her you like her." Which was really unhelpful.

Now the object of his affection had remembered a previously planned meeting and was gone. So here he was, nursing his seventh bottle of beer, at 10 at night, in his living room, alone. He couldn't help but feel rather pathetic; for the first time in his life he wished she would just have ignored the meeting and stayed. Really, it was Francis; he would get over it if she hadn't showed up! In fact, Gilbert should have taken Feli to visit Francis and the three of them could cause mayhem together in France! Not in his borders! Ludwig paused his musings long enough to take another large gulp from his beer.

Suddenly his phone started ringing loudly; who would call at this time of night?! Clumsily, he picked up the phone answering in with a short Hello.

"Ludwig , Man! Its been forever!" Amelia declared overdramatically from the other end, apparently she had also been drinking.

"Amelia, it hasn't even been five hours," He answered, feeling a smile tug on his lips at her antics.

"That's too long, Ludwig! We shouldn't be separated that long, ever! You're my best Bro friend ever! Not my boyfriend though, cuz your dating Feli apparently, which I didn't know man. Not cool! Your supposed to tell bros about these things. I mean, I completely love you Ludwig, and if you love Feli I can be supportive!" She rambled on but Ludwig froze at that. She loved him?

"Wait, stop Francis, don't do that! DON'T GRAB ME THERE!" Was the sudden yell, followed by a blood curdling scream before the line went dead.

Ludwig sat there frozen for a good minute, processing what had just happened. Amelia loved him but she thought that he was dating Feli. Amelia was drunk. Amelia was drunk in France. Amelia was drunk in France with Francis. Amelia was drunk in France with Francis who was grabbing her somewhere! She was in danger and needed backup!

It took him five minutes to get to the closest military base and another ten to explain that Amelia, AKA their ally The United States of America, was in danger and that he needed a plane and three support pilots to fly to Paris. NOW!

However, the General, being just a child in comparison to himself, denied him the back up. Explaining that he would not be the cause of an international incident and he would have a pilot fly him to Paris. When there, the non-intoxicated man would make the call on whether or not additional planes were needed.

Ludwig grumbled at this but didn't argue. Arguing would take much needed time and Amelia needed him!

Amelia's POV

When dealing with unrequited love, who better to go to to vent than your father figure who had a love hate relationship with your mother figure, to an extreme. Currently, they were "hating" each other from what she could tell from the story Francis was telling her about Alice sending him a box filled with her baked goods. Or did that mean they were "loving" each other? Did Alice know how poisonous her cooking was? Really though, who cares after the fourth bottle of wine shared between the two of them? After four bottles of wine, eating Alice's baked goods was almost feeling like it would a funny dare.

Wait, instead of poisoning herself she should call Ludwig! "Francis! I should call Ludwig!" Amelia called over to Francis who was sprawled out across the couch. "Francis, where did we put my phone?" She continued. When he didn't answer, she sighed before snapping, "Papa! Phone!"

"Mes Poulette, your phone is on the table. I am so jealous, you calling Ludwig. If I call Alice she may come and end me," He exclaimed, covering his face with his arm.

Standing up she stumbled over to the table where her phone must have been hiding. Once found she held it up victoriously, until she realized Francis wouldn't cheer with her over the victory. Quickly, she dialed the memorized number, and smiled at the hello which so obviously belonged to Ludwig.

"Ludwig , Man! Its been forever!" Amelia said happy to talk to him.

"Amelia, it hasn't even been five hours," He answered; he sounded happy. Happy was good, but be was making a good point there. Five hours was bad! Maybe she should make it part of their treaties; they could only go three hours without some sort of communication. It was ridicules, some times they only talked every other day!

"That's too long, Ludwig! We shouldn't be separated that long, ever! You're my best Bro friend ever! Not my boyfriend though, cuz your dating Feli apparently, which I didn't know man. Not cool! Your supposed to tell bro's about these things. I mean I completely love you Ludwig, and if you love Feli I can be supportive!" She said happily. She was the hero, you know it was her job to always support her friends! Even when she wasn't happy about their decisions.

"Why does mon lapin do this to me? Where did I go wrong, Amelia?" Francis started up, crawling towards her. "I know! You will talk to her for me!" Francis declared, grabbing on to her before shifting to hug her as if she were a stuffed animal.

"Wait, stop Francis don't do that! DON'T GRAB ME THERE!" Amelia yelped in surprised when Francis started shaking her, his hand accidentally slipping a little far south. Her phone fell to the ground.

"What kind of beast am I? Accosting my own daughter. Amelia, forgive me, I didn't mean to!" Francis wailed, now crying freely. Well, this just turned from a fun time to chaos really quickly.

Stumbling, she half dragged him to his bedroom before shoving him on the bed and face planting on the other half, almost instantly falling asleep.
