"Hey guys! This is America calling with some- hang on one minute!- news about the next- Oops, careful buddy!- World Conference meeting. The building in New York- What? Oh no, a building, not you personally. - is apparently having some emergency remodeling or something of the sort. But anyways I decided to change the location to… awesome WASHINGTON DC! So yeah, that's it. I'll- Oh honey there's always next year, no need to cry- sorry, I'll- really sweetie, you've definitely got a shot for it next year- e-mail all the flight and hotel info to you guys soon. See you in a few weeks! –Hey! I thought we settled this fight last week-"*Click*
England groaned at the phone message his secretary had just passed on to him and snapped his phone shut. Belgium let out a small laugh.
"Did you get America's message about the meeting change then," she asked.
Rolling his eye England nodded, "What an idiot, why we ever let him host World Conferences I'll never know."
"Well we all agreed to take turns-"
"Yes I know Bella, but if he can't get our meeting place right-"
"He has it figured out. We'll be meeting in Washington D.C., and he has sent the hotel and flight information, I checked already."
England sighed, "I suppose that's all well enough….But I have a bad feeling about this."
Now it was Belgium's turn to roll her eyes as she playfully slapped his arm, "Don't be so cynical Arthur. I'm sure everything will be fine, Alfred's hosted successful meetings before."
"Yes and some very unsuccessful ones, as well," England grumbled.
Belgium shook her head, "Oh Arthur," she said fondly, then paused, "Do you know who he was talking to in the background? It sounded very loud; wherever he was."
A disgusted look came across England's face, "Probably the States."
Belgium looked surprised, "The States? Vreemd…I've heard stories… But I wasn't sure if they were like us…"
"Oh they're not quite like us of course. No, not nearly as powerful or influential. And apparently they all appear to be around their teen years age wise."
"Have you met them?"
England barely repressed a shudder, "Only a few times and it's been awhile, thank God. Alfred's fiercely protective of the lot; there aren't many nations that have had the displeasure of meeting them."
"Displeasure? Are they really that bad Arthur," Belgium asked, smiling.
"They were monsters I tell you! Always squabbling amongst themselves and causing trouble just to get noticed. I've heard they never get anything done at their meetings since petty little arguments break out left and right. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the reason for Alfred's insanity."
"Hmm they sound rather cute," Belgium murmured, looking thoughtful, "I'm surprised I haven't heard more of them though."
"Like I said," England began shuffling papers, "Alfred's overprotective. I'm sure there are others like you who weren't even sure they existed. Though your brother's met one or two I would presume, before I kicked him out anyways," he finished with a smirk.
"Ah Arthur now you have me wanting to meet them!"
"Don't bother Bella, it'd be an experience you'd wish you hadn't had," he checked his watch, "Let's not waste any more time talking of the little beasts and carry on shall we?"
Sighing Belgium agreed. She would very much like to continue the conversation (it was all very interesting) but she could see England was done with it. So they continued their meeting without mentioning Alfred and his precious States again.
Little did they know that there was a high chance that Belgium would get her wish to meet the States. Alfred had forgotten that his States almost always held their monthly meetings the same week (same day even) as the World Conferences. And with the States meeting being held roughly around the same time as the conference well…let's just say a collision was likely.
A/N: Crappy prologue, I know, but it should get better. I know the Belgium-England interacting was random but my AP Euro teacher told us that England was always fond of Belgium (due to them being right across the channel, and not French). I don't know if that was true or not but it stuck with me so I wrote it down.
Next chapter we'll get to see the States of course but…I NEED HELP! Please tell me any popular stereotypes or facts about your state that you would like to see in the story. Who your state gets along with or doesn't get along with would also be terrifically helpful. People from outside of the US should also tell me anything they would like to see next chapter as well, of course.
I promise all 50 states will be mentioned. I don't know about anyone else but I hate it when I read state stories and the only ones mentioned are the famous ones (California, New York, Florida etc.)
Thanks for reading, please review and remember to mention your state!
