Canada was in his room talking to Pablo while looking down at his phone.
"I dunno Pablo... maybe I'm just not ready for dating?" Canada said.
"Ribbit," Pablo said.
"I guess you're right, might as well give it my best shot... if things don't work out, we'll still have each other!" Canada exclaimed.
"Ribbit," Pablo agreed.
"Ok... how about this girl? Eli? She looks nice, and she's an animal lover, and Maple syrup lover?! And she plays piano?! And she likes figure skating?! And hockey?!? Are we sure this isn't just female me?" Canada exclaimed.
"Ribbit," Pablo said.
"Pablo, that's no way to talk about a potential friend! Besides, maybe it's just because she's a city or neighborhood and doesn't have a flag, like Hollywood. There's nothing wrong with a country dating a city in 2022," Canada said.
"Ribbit," Pablo apologized.
"It's ok Pablo, we all make mistakes, even gods! just look at Zeus! That slut," Canada said. Pablo croaked in agreement.
"Ok! We're matched! Now, to message her!"
(My text app broke for some reason so you get regular old text)
Canada: hello!
Eli: hi! Sorry if I'm awkward, I haven't done this in a while lol
Canada: hah same, this is my first time using tinder tbh
Eli: haha well, I'll go easy on you. You're America's brother right?
Canada: I guess that's what I'm known for
Eli: also for being super sweet. And I saw you figure skating one time! You're a pro!
Canada: hah, thanks, I've been practicing a lot. You also like figure skating, right?
Eli: yep! I'm not too good, but it's fun!
Canada: maybe one day we can get together to skate
Eli: that sounds like fun! It'd be easier to get to know each other in person haha
Canada: yeah lol. Btw, where are you from? Do you live in statesville? Provincetown? In between?
Eli: actually, I moved over to Countryville recently. It was after a rough breakup, but I dealt with it.
Canada: oh, I see
Eli: yep, anyway, how about we get together at the ice skating rink tomorrow? Are you free at 1:00?
Canada: one sounds perfect, see you then!
Eli: ok!
"Pablo! I have a date!" Canada exclaimed.
"Ribbit!" Pablo exclaimed.
"You're right! Let's go tell the others!" Canada exclaimed. Canada rushed into the living room with Pablo on his head. The rest of the quartet were just hanging out.
"Guys! I've got a date with a real person!" Canada exclaimed.
"Awesome, where?" America exclaimed.
"The ice skating rink! Tomorrow! It should be fun," Canada exclaimed.
"Ok, call us if something goes wrong," Mexico said.
"Or if something goes right," America said.
"Oh god I haven't thought about that... what if this ends horribly?" Canada said.
"I'm sure it'll be fine, it's just a small date," Greenland said.
"Yeah... just something small, nothing too crazy," Canada said.
