"So... (Name)... Where do you want to go to eat?" America asked.

"Uuuuuhhhhhhhh...." I said in confusion.

"Hahaha, come on dork, let's go get some pizza!"

"Dork?! You think that's first date pick up line material?" I said jokingly.

"Hahaha, yup... If I didn't think so I wouldn't of said it!"

"That's the smartest thing I've ever heard you say all day..."

"Hey..." He muttered, slightly offended.

"Well.. Besides going to get pizza." I smirked.

"Hahaha, yeah... I'm just having so many brain farts right now..."

"Hahaha, 100% scientific terms."

"Yup... Anyways... Let's go and get food!"

(At the pizza place, in the middle of the date)

"I know this may seem really random but... Do you feel like we're being watched?" I asked him.

"Hahaha, NOOO..." America said nervously.

"Okay... What are you hiding?"

"WHAT... ME?"

"Yes... YOU... I'm not talking to the pizza"

"I'm not hiding anything..."

"Really? I have a hard time believing that..."

"Okay fine... I may have a few of my "wingmen" here to make sure I don't mess up..."

"Hahaha, were you really that nervous?"

"Maybe.." America mumbled

Before I could say anything the waitress gave us our bill.

"I'll pay for it!" I cheerfully say, hoping to get him in his happy mood again. I dug into my purse/pocket/wallet/coin purse and pulled out some (characters country's name) money and put in on the counter.

"WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!"

"It's money..."

"Dudette... We are in USA... We don't use that money..."

"Oooooh... Sorry about that! That actually explains a lot."

I put the money away, and Alfred payed the bill.

"I'll walk you home!"

"Thanks!"

I could tell he was nervous. To mess with him I held his hand. He smiled at me, and I smiled back.

*click click*

"Did you heard th-" I was about to say until...

"FRANCIS!!!!! ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES?!" America yelled turning around to look at a man who was obviously France trying to look "American"

"YOU SAW NOTHING!" France yelled and jumped into a nearby shrub.

"Umm.. We can still see you Francis..." I said.

"No... I am a shrub... I don't know who this Francis is, no... But he sounds like such a handsome man and- I MEAN I AM A SHRUB"

We laughed and continued down the sidewalk.

~TIME SKIIIPPP BROUGHT TO YOU BY SWEEEEEDDDDEEEEENNN... Jå~

"Here's my hotel... So I guess I'll be going..."

"Oh yeah..."

We awkwardly sat there for awhile until I pecked him on the lips.

*click* *click* *France creepily taking pictures*

"Uuuuhhhh..."

"Hahaha, I'll see you at the next world meeting next week in Japan!"

"Uuuhhhh... Y-yeah! Bye!"

"Bye, hero." I said as I waled off to my hotel room.
