Drabble 8: Sitter Part 3

Finland hummed happily as he made last minute checks on the state of his home. The house he shared with Sweden and Sealand was practically spotless, but he couldn't help checking over each room multiple times within the last hour.

"Everything has to be perfect!" he cried, "After all, she is coming today!"

Finland heard about his impeding visitor, America's elusive girlfriend, after the last G8 summit and wanted to meet her ever since. He always considered himself one of the nations that parented the young colony, so it was only natural that he wanted to meet her. Finland thought he'd have to wait until the next United Nations meeting to meet the human girl, assuming America even brought her with him. Then, much to his delight, he received a phone call from America, and the former colony asked Finland for a small favor concerning his cute little girlfriend.

"I can't wait!" he exclaimed, happily clutching his feather duster to his chest.

"Hello, Mr. Finland," Sealand greeted him as he walked down the hallway, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, Sealand!" Finland replied with a large grin, "We're going to have a cute little houseguest for the next few days. Sve is picking her up now, and they'll be here any minute."

"A house guest?" Sealand repeated curiously.

Finland nodded. "You be on your best behavior. I want our guest to feel as welcomed as possible."

"Of course," Sealand answered with an obedient nod, "I understand."

"And maybe she'll want to come back to visit us again!" Finland continued to gush, "I hope so! I've always wanted a girl!"

Sealand shrugged and turned away from the overly excited nation, walking back to his room. Hopefully, this houseguest was pleasant and easy to get along with. He'd love to have someone around to play with.

'And someone who'll recognize me as a nation!'

-O0o0O-

"Alfred," Kagome began, standing next to him in the Finnish airport, "why are we here?"

She knew her boyfriend's next big meeting was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Parliamentary assembly, a meeting where she expected to see a few familiar faces. However, Finland, the destination of their sudden flight, was not on the guest list.

"You'll see," Alfred answered with a grin. Kagome rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, turning away from him. Without any intention of giving her answers, he continued to survey the airport, obviously waiting for someone.

"Great, you're here!" Alfred exclaimed after a few minutes.

Kagome turned and blinked owlishly at the tall blonde nation towering over her and Alfred. Without warning, Alfred gently pushed her toward the strange nation. She squeaked as she fell forward; the nation grasped her shoulders to help her regain her balance.

"Take good care of her, kay?" America requested, giving the nation a brief nod.

"Ah," he replied with little emotion.

Kagome turned to Alfred as he began to walk away. "Alfred, where are you going? What's going on?"

Alfred looked at her with a slightly pained look on his face. "I'm sorry, Kagsy, but I just wanted someone other than Tony to keep you company while I'm gone. Don't hate me when I get back, please?" America leaned forward and lightly kissed her lips before bouncing off, no doubt to board another plane.

Kagome watched as Alfred left then turned the blonde, spectacled country he entrusted her to. He was very tall, rivaling Russia in height, and pretty cute.

"Hello?" she said hesitantly, giving him a small, unsure wave.

He nodded and turned away from her, walking toward the airport's exit. He uttered only one word to her.

"Come."

Kagome sighed and followed behind her new behemoth of a caretaker, who was apparently only capable of monosyllabic response. Oh, the situations her lovable idiot put her into.
