Playing the Fool

Chapter 33

Standing up, America scowled when the mirrors surface kept him from his waving State. Smiling brightly like normal, Minnesota seemed happy despite where she was.

"Alfred! Your here! ... well, sort of... "

Giggling she leaned on Fransisco's shoulder to get a better look at them. Every fiber of America's big brother instincts were screaming to smash the mirror at get her way from them. 

"Sarah, listen carefully now sweetie... England can probably get you out of there, just back away from the 2p's and you should be fine."

Waving off his concerns like he was telling her to back away from the spider in the bathroom, Minnesota snorted in amusement.

"Al, your talking like I'm in danger. Besides I'm pretty sure Flavio would kill Allen here if he touched me again."

Bristling Alfred glared at the darker version of himself. Allen noting the death glare he was receiving from his double, the dark american rolled his eyes.

"Wasn't my fault, I didn't mean to step on the doll here. But SOMEBODY"

Giving the unconcerned girl a sharp glare as he paused dramatically, only for Minnie to cut him off.

"Oh no, you meant to step on me and you know it. Don't go trying to blame this one me, you bad boy wannabe."

The 1p's tensed when she said this, though said in a warm teasing tone one did not just say something like that to a 2p and get away unscathed. Allen fumed, but didn't try bashing her head in with is bat. 

"F&*king brat..."

Allen muttered under his breath, only for Sarah to stick her tongue out at him.

"Heard that, don't forget I did apologize for borrowing your bat. Had to show Mathieu my mean swing and he wouldn't let me barrow his hockey stick."

"Minnesota... how did you get in there?"

England asked carefully, the State turned to glance back at them through the other side of the mirror.

"I don't really know, one moment I was talking with Ollie. It was just after you left with Sam actually, anyway like I said one moment we're just talking, then I remember Oliver recommending trying one of his magic tea blends for my headaches. It was a bit sweet for my taste, imagine that Alfred something that was too sweet for the queen of sweet teeth. Then I kinda just passed out on the couch then woke up here after Fransisco found me."

Pausing a moment to collect her thoughts, Sarah took a deep comedic breath. Eye's lighting up a bit when Alfred laughed despite himself, before continuing her rant.

"I've made a few friends too! It's been great, though I'm not looking forward to when Flavio makes good on that threat."

Shuddering, the State made a face before finishing that statement with.

"I can't stand dressing up, I shouldn't have told him that because now he's so focus on making me wear one so I can see the appeal... yeah no. Not happening,"

Turning towards someplace out of there view she shouted 

"NEVER HAPPENING! YOU HEAR ME!? NEVER!"

"Challenge accepted!"

Flavio's voice sounded distant like Allen had first sounded when they were finishing the spell, Alfred wondered for a moment just how big it was inside the mirror. 

"America, didn't you say you just came from her house... where you left your capital alone with her for the weekend?"

England asked quietly, realization washed through America fallowed by a wave of dread.

"Minnie don't worry, we'll get you out of there soon alright? Just stay strong okay?"

Tilting her head to the side, Sarah gave her country a confused look.

"What about my new friends? Can they come out too?"

Her question was drowned out as the mirror faded back to the dull silver. America nearly missed the sadness fill the States dark blue eyes, not having time to figure out why he hurried to fallow the magic trio as they rushed from the room.
