Author's Note: We're back to Alfred again. How is he holding up with this party? We have Faust here too. We've barely seen him this season. I am going to have to change that soon. I have to get back to what he's planning. I am still trying to work out what I am doing with the party. We three more weeks until this season is over. We're going to check in on 2P!Japan, Japan, and their wives next week. For now, enjoy this week's match.


Match Thirty-One: Chir Pine:

Alfred was always the last to know everything. He was the last to really join World War II. He was the last to see what was going on with Feliciano. And he was the last to see what was going on with the world.

"Why is that?" a voice asked. The American man whipped around. Johann walked up to him with his arms out.

"Huh?" Alfred asked.

"Why are you the last one to find out everything?" Johann asked. The American man looked confused.

"What do you mean?" he asked. The doctor smiled.

"Why do they leave you out?" he asked.

"What are you talking about?" Alfred asked. Johann stood in front of him, grinning. The American man took a step back.

"Look dude, I don't know who you are. I just want to get out of here and get home to my daughter," he said.

"Why would you do that?" the other man asked. "We're just getting started." America looked like his brain was going to break down.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Oh, where are my manners?" Johann asked. The doctor took a bow.

"My name is Dr. Johann Faust," he said.

"Doctor?" Alfred asked. Faust rolled his eyes.

"Not that kind of doctor," he said. "I'm a scholar. A philosopher." The American man looked checked out when he said that.

"Anyway," Johann said. "We haven't even gotten to the good part yet."

"Look, dude, I don't want any trouble," Alfred said with his hands up.

"Trouble?" Faust asked. "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Aw, Alfred. It's already found you."

"What?!" the American man asked.

He wasn't really supposed to be here. Actually, that was a lie. Feliciano invited everyone. Including America. Alfred didn't really think about why. It was just nice to get out of the house for a change. Lydia didn't argue.

"It will be just us girls," she said. "We'll be fine." He didn't get a chance to argue. Lydia wasn't going to hear it.

So here he was.

"You didn't answer my question," Johann said.

"Huh?" Alfred asked. The doctor was still smiling at him.

"Why are you the last one to find out everything?" he asked. The American man stared at him.

"I don't know," he said.

"It's so weird," Johann said. "You would think that the hero would know everything."

"What's the supposed to mean?!" the American man asked.

"Oh, nothing," the doctor said, shaking his head. "It's just…"

"What?" Alfred asked. Johann put up his hands.

"Oh dear," he said. "Now, I've said too much." The American man stared at him.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. The doctor gave him an innocent look.

"Just… You are not the hero you think you are," he said. Alfred felt like a balloon that had been popped.

"I am a hero!" he shouted.

"Then why don't they tell you anything?" Johann asked. Alfred froze. He stood there with his mind reeling. The doctor smirked.

"Heh," was all he said. However, Johann wasn't finished with him yet.


This party took work. Feliciano stood back, watching. These were just getting interesting. Who was going to crack first? It was too early to say.

Suddenly, the Italian man realized he wasn't alone.

"Oh," he said, looking over his shoulder. "You're still here." Qi walked up to his side.

"Are you waiting to get started?" Feliciano asked. She didn't answer. The Italian man shrugged.

"Fine," he said. "Suit yourself." Qi bowed her head. The two watched over the party. Feliciano stuck up his hand.

"Five… Four… Three… Two… One."


Alfred's head was spinning. He wasn't a hero? No, that couldn't be right. He was a hero. He was a hero!

"I'm a hero! I'm a hero! I'm a hero."

The American man was in a daze as he wandered down the empty hall. The doors opened as he walked. He came up to a door that opened up to a flight of stairs. He walked down the stairs mindlessly. The door closed behind him.

Faust stood back and watched the whole thing. He finished one part of this party game. Johann turned his head.

"Ooo, I wonder what's over here," he said. The doctor turned and walked down the hall.
