The New Country In Town

Chapter three - America

I walked back up the stairs to find Prussia... cleaning my room? It's not like it was really messy... I've only been here for a day. He's wandering around with a duster in one hand and broom in the other.

"Umm... Prussia? What are you doing?" I ask. He jumps and spins around

"Oh uh Ashley... I was just cleaning up, I figured it was the least I could do since I kicked down your door."

"No you don't need to. C'mon let's put the door up before I have to go." I say as I grab the tools. After about an hour of failed attempts and frustration the door is finally up.

"Finally, it's up." I say as I wipe some sweat off my face.

"Okay now that that's done, we should get going if we're going to get all our shopping done." Elizabeta says from behind me

"Alright. See you later, Gilbert."

"Bye, Frau," he replies. I nod as I make my way down the stairs.

"So where are we going first?" I ask. Elizabeta grabs the keys from the hook that's hanging next to the door before turning to me and replying

"How about we go to France's house? He has nice doors and clothes." I nod. We exit the house and make our way down the driveway. Yesterday, in my shock I must not have been paying attention at the beauty of this place. The grass is the brightest shade of green I've ever seen with yellow dandelions sprinkled throughout the fields. In the center of the field there's a huge fountain with flowers surrounding it.

"It's pretty isn't it?" Elizabeta asks. I nod. She smiles before walking over to the car. "Okay so we're going to take my sports car which is in the garage. Do you mind moving Austria's car?" I nod as I grab the keys from her hand and get into the driver's seat of the car. I turn the key and hear the engine sputter as if it was about to die but then roar back to life. I gently press down on the gas and move it out of the driveway. Look behind me and see Hungary opening the garage door and getting into her car. As I sit there waiting I see another car pull up in front of me. It's a volkswagen SUV, so it's most likely Germany's car. As the car's engine dies down I can hear the barking of dogs from the back window. I turn off the car and walk over to the car in front of me.

"Oh, hello Ashley," Germany says as he opens his door. "Stay." he says to the German Shepherd sitting in the passengers seat.

"So, what brings you here? Not that you can't be here or anything! I just wasn't expecting you." I stammer trying my best not to offend him. He looks at me and chuckles.

"There's no need to be so uptight. I just came to get my brother. Do you know where he is?" I nod and lead him to the door.

"He was upstairs in his room at the end of the hall to the right." I say. He nods and walks into the house gently shutting the door, but not without stopping to thank me for helping him. As I walk back to the car, I hear him and Prussia yelling at each other. I chuckle and think back to how I used to act like that with my sister. I get back into the car and turn the keys and proceed to drive it back up the driveway. Elizabeta is already out in the street with her car. After turning off the car, I run back down the driveway making sure the garage shuts behind me. I hop into the passenger seat and wait for hungary to get going.

"So where to first?" I ask

"Depends, do you want a car, clothing, or decorations for your room first?" she replies. I sit and wonder for a bit before trying to decide. If we buy the clothes first then we can go straight over to the decorations, but then again where will we put all that in her little car? I want my old blue pick up truck....

"let's go get me a truck first. It gives us space for more stuff when shopping for everything else." She nods and pulls starts driving towards America's place. "How come we're going to America's? I thought the party wasn't until 6?" I ask
