Hi. (^^;) I'm really sorry this took so long to get out. I'm really busy with school right now so I haven't had much time for research type stuff for this. ^^;
I'm still not totally happy with this chapter but . . . at least it's up. ^^;
Read and Review please. Hope you like it. ^^;
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or any of it's characters.
P.S. Please don't shoot me for my description of England's boss. ^^; I have absolutely no idea what his boss really looks like or who his boss even is. I'm not trying to insult anyone or anything! I'm just too busy to look it up. ^^; Sorry if I offend anyone. :/
"Alfred, wake up dear."
"Huhwhaa-?" America sat up sleepily with a yawn. "Mm, we there yet?"
"We've been here for about an hour actually; you sleep like a log Al." Ms. Davis replied with a giggle.
America sat up quickly. "What? An hour? That is sooooooo not on time by Iggy standards."
"Relax." The president laughed softly. "I called him already. Let's get going then okay?"
America nods and stretches before standing up. "Okay! Let's get over there before Iggy has anytime to get any more annoyed."
...half an hour later...
"Now are you sure you wouldn't like me to give you the tour myself Ms. Davis?" England's tall, and somewhat portly boss asked, straightening the jacket of his suit.
"I appreciate the offer but I am quite fine with just Arthur." America's president replied with a smile. "Thank you for allowing me to tour your country though; I really do appreciate it a lot."
"Well, okay then; I advise you or America drives though. Our speeds are rather different here." He said with a chuckle, "Oh and don't forget that we drive on a different side of the road than you do."
She gave him a grin and nodded. "I know, I've been here before when I was younger sir. Thank you again."
"Right then, good day."
"Good day."
The two shook hands then England's boss walked out the door.
~.
Ms. Davis turns back to the two nations and smiles. "Now that he's gone; let's all sit down and chat for a bit before we go tour the county shall we?"
The two nod and they move into the sitting room; Ms. Davis takes a seat in a large comfy chair and America sits down on the couch.
England goes to sit down and then stops. "I don't suppose you'd care for a spot of tea?" He asked curiously.
Ms. Davis looks at him thoughtfully. "What kind?"
"Earl gray is the only type Iggy ever drinks." America says making a face.
"Hmm, not my preferred flavor but I don't mind earl gray every once in awhile." Ms. Davis responds with a smile. "Just put a little bit of sugar in it please."
The two countries stare at her for a moment, stunned. "You like tea?" They asked at the same time.
She smiled in amusement. "I do." She giggled at their dumbfounded expressions. "I favor raspberry iced tea; but I think that's more because of where I grew up than anything else."
America frowned in thought for a moment. "Oh that's right; you're from Arizona. No wonder you'd prefer a cold drink."
"Yes that's probably why, because I find I'm rather liking the hot tea now that I've moved to a colder climate."
England shook his head bewildered and went to get the tea. He returned moments later with two cups; he handed one to her then sat down.
"Thank you Arthur." Ms. Davis says with a smile as she takes a sip of the tea. "Mmm, you make it much better than I've had before." She gave a little laugh. "Although that's not all that surprising since you've had centuries to perfect it."
Arthur shook his head in amazement. "Never thought I'd see the day an American would want to drink my tea." He says with a chuckle.
"Well I suppose a bonus to being American is that you can be one even if your family came from somewhere else originally." She says with a smile. "My mother traced our family line back a bit when I was younger; I'm mainly Irish but I'm also German, Swedish, Swiss, British, Canadian and Prussian."
America nodded approvingly.
"That aside though; I was wondering if we could start off with somewhere other than London. Like I said to your boss Arthur; I have been here before so I would like to start with someplace I haven't been yet."
"Of course; though I'm curious as to when you've been here befo-" He stops abruptly and stares at her critically for a moment, setting down his tea. "We've met before, haven't we?"
She looks back at him a small smile playing on her lips; she should have know that Arthur would remember it first. "Of course; the meeting was only a few days ago." She said coyly.
England stared at her a moment longer. "Before that," He said to himself.
" . . . . Oh!" He blinked suddenly in recognition. "Your the you lady that asked me about the American Revolution a decade or so ago correct?"
Ms. Davis grinned and set down her tea as well. "Very good Arthur! I figured you would figure it out before Alfred. By the way; thank you both for sending me that anonymous note with a fully paid for plane ticket back to Arizona."
America's eyes widened. "No way~! That was you?"
"You knew we sent the ticket?"
"Yes to both questions." She replied with a smile. "I don't suppose you fellows remember that silly little dream I told you then?"
America frowned for a moment. "Ummmmm something to do with peas?"
"Bloody git, world peace." Arthur said with a scowl.
Ms. Davis merely laughed. "Quite right Arthur; I never did get around to my trip around the world though."
"Oh! That's right!" America exclaimed happily. "Hey! You were elected president though!"
"Much to my surprise, yes." She said with a smile. "Anyway, shall we be off then? Best get started now rather than later!"
The two countries nodded and the three walked out the door. America smiled happily, trilled that another dream was starting to become a reality. He couldn't wait to see how this one would turn out.
Yeah, I know it's short and got them absolutely nowhere. :( I'm just so busy! And I can't afford to fail any classes. ^^; I will try to update "More Than A Dream" soon I promise! It might take awhile though. ^^; Please be patient with me.
