Imbolic

It was the January World Meeting and you were busy going over anypaperwork you had. You were a small nation and didn't have much to dowith the entire world so you instead stayed in the back. That didn'tmake it easy when you were friends with the Allies. But luckilyArthur and Matthew...excuse you, you had to refer in country namesduring World Meetings, England and Canada can keep American andFrance in check the same for Russia keeping China from squealing atthe "cuteness".

You were shocked at how much they didn't get done because they werearguing about stupid things. You'd think that they were thousands ofyears old, had seen centuries worth of conflict and love, and hadbeen raised and around other people that they wold at this they wouldlive and let live and let things go. Why bring up long done wars?

It was once the meeting was over that you were ready to leave andwhen you started to go you felt a hand grip your wrist and another onthe other arm your elbow was gripped. You turned to see Russiagripping your wrist and Canada gripping your elbow behind themFrance, England, and China.

"Yes?" You asked as they smiled at you and started walkingAmerica running foreword with a fist in the air with his heroiclaugh.

"We thought you might like a walk!" America answered as all ofyou left the building you could now call them by their human names.

"What are you doing, you seem tired, aru?" Yao asked as yousmiled as he was very perceptive, as the oldest country in the entireworld that still exists he would with age.

"Oh, yes....on February 2nd is Imbolic...it's one of thehardest festivals for me to do, not like Yule or Samhain which arefun to plan."

"What's Imbolic?" Alfred asked looking over to you from where hewas.

"It's the festival to celebrate that spring is coming. Which meansthat the winter is almost over and soon it will be time to plantanew."

"So it's the beginning of spring?" Matthew asked tugging on yourelbow slightly.

"Yes, exactly." You said before biting your lip slightly andshrugged, "of course like my other festivals you are welcome toit."

"That sounds fun, da. (yes.)" Ivan agreed as the other nodded,Alfred giving you the heroic laugh.

It was the festival that you were doing the least actual festival,which is part of why it wasn't fun to plan, and it was also the firsttime eating meat since Samhain which means over three months of nomeat. Which also shows why you only want it to happen already insteadof enjoying the wait.

As they would, for all intents and purposes, be coming for dinner youmade your favorite dish for this holiday; lamb you'd use apomegranate glaze, light pepper and salt and grill over indirectheat. You also made (favorite side dish) and homemade bread, you usedthe cookbook Yao had given you to make a (favorite Chinese dessert).

They all came with bright smiles as you waved to them, you werewearing the dress Francis gave you and the necklace Ivan had, yourhair pulled back in a (favorite color) ribbon.
