Work Text:
INT. A meeting room- Day
It begins in a big meeting room full of nations. Whom are all trying to listen but some of them start to gaze. One of which is France.
France (Thoughts)
So bored.
He glances over to his right and sees his neighbor Belgium. Next to her right is Netherlands. France then notices Netherlands getting something out of his jacket pocket. A close up reveals that it’s a bar of Belgium chocolate.
France (Thoughts)
Le Gasp. Belgium chocolate.
France then scoots closer to Belgium.
France (Whispers)
Pst, Excuse me. Miss Belgium.
Belgium (Whispers)
O hello France
France (Whispers)
You wouldn’t happen to have anymore chocolate. Would you?
Belgium (Whispers)
Sorry, didn’t have any chocolate with me today. Why do you ask?
France (Whispers)
Well, I just happen notice that Netherlands has some of his own. So just assumed.
Netherlands (Whispers)
Well, you assumed wrong because I got this chocolate a few months ago. And only brought it in just for today.
CUT TO
INT. OUTSIDE OF THE MEETING ROOM AND IN A HALLWAY. ONE HOUR LATER.
Netherlands is sitting on a hallway bench. As he scans through his phone, France suddenly sits right besides him with his charm levels up to twelve. Netherlands, however, doesn’t look away from his phone.
France
Hello Netherlands.
Netherlands
Hey.
France
You’re looking different today. Is that a new scarf?
Netherlands
No.
France
I know you must of gotten your hair cut.
Netherlands
No.
France
Well something must be different about you because you look amazing.
Netherlands
Thanks. But you can’t have my chocolate.
France
What! How dare you accuse me of that. I just came over to talk for a bit.
Netherlands
First off, I know you only came here for the chocolate because you’ve been eye balling the bar for the entire meeting. So cut the crap. Second, I am not interested in your advances because thirdly you’re too old for my taste.
France (Shocked)
Le Gasp!
CUT TO
France is in now a corner with a dark cloud over him. England notices him and ask what wrong. France doesn’t look away from the corner.
England
What the bloody hell is wrong with you frog?
France
Netherlands called me old.
England
Oh sweetheart. That’s because you are.
France then turns around and faces England.
France
Well, you’re no spring chicken either.
England
Anyway, you must have been bothering him with your invasive flirting.
France
I was only doing it to get some of his Belgium Chocolate.
England
Wait a tick. Netherlands has Belgium Chocolate.
France
Oui, and he’s not even eating it. He’s just carrying it around. It’s so unfair.
England (Thinking)
Mmmmmm.
England
Alright, France I well help you.
France (Surprised)
Really!?!
England
Don’t get excited I am only doing it to get some chocolate.
France
And how are you going to do that. You don’t nearly have a quarter of my charm and beauty.
England
Well, unlike you I am going to be using my head instead of my looks. Netherlands is a nation of business and the only way to get through to him is the art of a business deal. And there’s no other nation who can handle business like the British Empire.
England walks up to the Netherlands, with France standing right behind him.
England (Confidently)
Alright, Netherlands. I have a business proposition for you.
Netherlands
Oh?
England
I will exchange twenty pounds for that meager bar of chocolate.
Netherlands (Thinking)
Mmmmmmm
CUT TO:
EXT. BAR INSIDE THE SAME BUILDING WERE THE MEETING IS TAKING PLACE.
England and France are at a bar with a dark cloud over head. America sees this.
America
Hey, dudes what’s with the sad clouds?
France
Salut, America. I’m just drinking my troubles away with the so called British Empire.
England
mumbles…. It’s harder than it looks. That guy is a manic.
America
Who?
England
Netherlands, we were trying to get the bar of chocolate he has.
America
Whoa, the Netherlands has chocolate. I want some.
France
Not just any chocolate. Belgium Chocolate.
England (Pissed)
And don’t even think of asking him because he’s not sharing.
America
My dudes, I know what your problem is. You need to ask Belgium for Belgium chocolate not Netherlands.
England
No shit Sherlock!
France
It’s not that simple. Belgium hates being bothered with request to make chocolate.
England
There was this one time when almost all the nations in the world request chocolate. It didn’t end well.
France
Oui, it’s a very touchy subject for her. But she doesn’t mind to give out premade chocolate as long as she has some at hand. And if you ask really nicely.
America
So let’s just get the chocolate, the American way. By claiming it was ours first and taking it by force.
France
Are you crazy?
England
You can’t just take something from someone else.
CUT-TO
England is standing next to a paper board with some cruddy drawn diagrams.
England
Without a really stealthy strategy. Okay now first things first.
CUT-TO
INT. HALLWAY
Netherlands is a hallway. He looks around around a bit while fiddling with the bar’s rapper. Meanwhile France, England, and America are waiting and watching from a distant coriander.
England
Alright, everyone knows what they’re doing.
America
Yep
France
Oui.
England
Okay on the count of three. 1…...2…..
America
Wait dude. Stop
England
What is wrong with you…..
France
Amerique is right. We can’t go now.
England
What? Why?
America
Bro, Canada is heading this way.
France
Oui, our plan won’t work if he’s in the way.
England
Ugh! Fine, we’ll wait.
Canada walks over to Netherlands with a warm smile.
Canada
Hello, Netherlands, how are you doing to….
However, he wasn’t able to finish his greetings because Netherlands just places a piece of chocolate in Canada’s mouth while he was talking.
CUT-TO
America, England, and France are all confused “What?”
CUT BACK TO
Canada
Mmmmmm…Netherlands this is really good. What is this?
Netherlands
It’s Belgium chocolate.
CUT-TO
England
What the bloody hell?
America
Guys I think I know what’s happening. He’s giving Canada a free simple. So when he ask for more Netherlands can ramp up the prices. I’ve seen it before.
France
My poor cher.
CUT-BACK TO
Netherlands
You want some more?
Canada
Really!?! I mean. I don’t want to intrude or anyth….
Netherlands stuffs another piece of chocolate into Canada’s mouth as he was talking.
Canada
Mmmmm…..so good.
Netherlands then takes Canada’s hand to place the rest of the bar in his palm.
Netherlands
Here you can have the rest.
Canada
Ah... I really shouldn’t be taking this. This is yours after all.
Netherlands
That’s okay.
Canada
You sure? I really don’t want to be a bother.
Netherlands
I’ve got more at home.
Canada gives him a warm and sunny smile.
Canada
Thank you, Netherlands.
Netherlands starts to crack a goofy little smile, but quickly conceals it with his hand and a pretend cough. He then turns and walks away trying to conceal the pink slowly creeping on his face.
Netherlands
Cough Cough No problem. Cough I have to go to a meeting now. Bye.
BACK-TO
England
Did the Netherlands just give something away? For Free!?!
France
I thought the word “free” didn’t exist in his language.
America
Dudes who cares. Canada got the chocolate, now.
The three of them walk up to Canada
America
S’up bro. How you doing?
Shows Canada and Kumajiro just finishing off the last of the chocolate.
Canada
Oh hello. How are you?
A dark cloud befalls on America, England, and France.
Canada
Eek! What’s wrong with you guys?
CUT-TO
INT. THE TRADING POST BUILDING IN THE NETHERLANDS. DAYS LATER.
England is trying to negotiate while the Netherlands just sits in his chair.
England
Can’t you lower the trading tax a bit more. I already paid for my order.
Netherlands
Sorry, but that’s way things are.
England
They don’t have to be!
The conversation comes to a halt when a door opened and Canada enters the room.
Canada
Hello Netherlands. Oh England I didn’t know you we going to be here today.
England
Oh h-hello, Canada?
Netherlands
You’re here to pick up your order.
Canada
Yep.
Netherlands gives Canada a box.
Netherlands
Here you go.
Canada
Thank you.
England
What!?!
Canada:
See you guys later.
Netherlands
Bye.
England gives Netherlands a look. While Netherlands just shrugs.
Netherlands
What? He already paid for his order.
England(Angrily)
MMMMMMMM!!!!
CUT-TO
INT. ANOTHER WORLD MEETING WEEKS LATER.
England goes up to America and France who are sitting right next to get other and discussing something.
England
I think there might be something going on between Canada and Netherlands.
France
We already thought of that. So Amerique and I decided to put it to the test.
America holds up a Canadian themed pencil case.
America
Yeah bro, I stole Canada’s pencil case. So when he ask for a pencil or pen, we’ll see if Netherlands will give it to him for free.
The camera pans to Canada who is looking for his pencil case in his set.
Canada
Oh no I must have left my pencil case at home.
Canada goes up to America. While America quickly puts away the case.
Canada
Excuse me, America could I borrow a pen?
America
A well. You can’t because I only brought one pen today sorry.
Canada
Oh okay. France, England, do you have a pen I could….
England and France then start to fake fight.
England
Say it to my face again you frog.
France
Gladly. However, I rather not look at your face when I say it.
Canada
Oh never mind then.
A defeated Canada goes back to his seat. The three other nations watch from a distance.
France
Phh that was a close one.
Canada looks again for a spare pencil in his bag.
America
Wait, there he is.
Then as Netherlands walks pasted him. He stops and ask whats wrong.
America
And he’s stopping
France
Is he about to….Yes, he gave him a pen.
England
Quiet, he’s coming this way.
Netherlands then walks by them.
England
Say, Netherlands. Do you have a pencil I could borrow?
He just keeps on walking. Two hours later, Netherlands was packing up to leave. When suddenly France appears next to him.
France
Salut, Netherlands! Could I borrow your notes for a bit?
Netherlands
No you can’t have my notes.
France
Ah but monsieur you miss understand me. It’s not for me par say. It’s for Canada.
Netherlands
What?
France
Oui. You see, America ask to borrow his notes early. Unfortunately, when he returned Canada’s notes back it was covered in mustard and ketchup stains. Now he’s now trying desperately to redo all of the notes but it’s unreadable.
Netherlands
If Canada wanted my notes then how come he didn’t ask me?
France
You know how shy he can be. I just wanted to be a good big brother and give him some notes. Oh well looks like he’s going to stay up all night doing extra work.
Netherlands
Wait!
Netherlands shoves the folder to France.
Netherlands
Here. But I want those notes returned to me, before the end of the day. Clear?
France
Crystal.
CUT-TO
France, England, and America are all in a different, smaller meeting room.
France
Ohohohohon. Looks like Netherlands got a soft spot for a certain nation.
England
But why though?
America
Ya, and we still got to figure out why Canada keeps getting free stuff.
England
Now let’s think. What are they?
America
They’re definitely not brothers.
All
Best Friends?
As they think imagination cloud forms above them as France, England, & America collectively imagine chibi versions of Canada and Netherlands running through a sunny field full of flowers and bunnies. They side by side and holding hands. It’s cute. The imagination cloud ends and they discuss it in reality.
All
Nah.
England
Besides Netherlands doesn’t have friends. He has clients.
America
Then Canada is one of his clients. But in what?
France
Well, all we seen so far is that Netherlands just gives Canada what ever he wants. Which is strange. But what’s really strange is that we haven’t seen the other part of the deal fulfilled. Unless…..You don’t think?
All
A sugar baby relationship?
Another imagination cloud appears over head. However, the theme changes from G to Rated R. As they all collectively imagine Canada wearing a small red dress with very large white fur coat. Along with shoulder purse containing his polar bear, Kumajiro. While Netherlands is smoking his pipe and counting a stack of cash.
Imagination Canada
O daddy can I pretty please have some cash to pay off my government spending this quarter.
Imagination Netherlands
Sure bunny. Oh and here’s a little something extra so you can doll yourself up this Saturday.
Back to reality has an oblivious America doesn’t realize that England and France are strangling each other in the background.
America
So that’s how he’s able to afford free health care.
England
Dammit France! You perverted, kinky frog this is all your fault!
France
Me? Well, maybe if you paid more attention to him! He wouldn’t have grown up to go after cold reclusive business men!
CUT-TO
Belgium and Netherlands are walking down a hallway. Belgium was looking through her bag when she realizes that she left something in the other room.
Belgium
Oh no I must have left my notebook back at the conference room.
Belgium leaves.
Belgium
I be right back.
Netherlands
‘Kay
Canada enters.
Canada
Hello, Netherlands.
Netherlands
O hello Canada.
Canada
I just wanted to say thank you for the chocolate last meeting.
Netherlands
It was no trouble really.
Canada
Still, I wanted to give you something in return.
Netherlands (Flustered)
Oh? W-what is it?
Canada
First close your eyes.
Netherlands
What? I--
Canada
Close your eyes. It’s a surprise.
Netherlands did as he was told. Canada then holds out a pink box.
Canada
Ta-Daaaaaaaaahh!
Unfortunately, Canada couldn’t finish his “Ta-Da” because America zooms in and tackles him down to the ground. America is now hugging Canada while they are both sitting up on the floor. Canada is confused, upset, and trying to wiggle his way out of the hug. While America is crying a bit and petting Canada on the head to comfort him.
Canada
America? What are you…
America
Sh, sh it’s okay bro. I know your economy isn’t as great as mine. But that doesn’t mean you should sale your body to make up for it.
Canada
What!?! I’m not..
America
Shh. It’s going to be okay. We’ll get through this together.
N etherlands
Canada?!? You’re selling your body? To who?
France and England suddenly appear to confront Netherlands. However, France is standing behind England to avoid any physical conflict.
France
This is not the time to play dumb.
England
Yeah. We all know it’s you. We all know about your sugar baby relationship with Canada and we are here to put an end to it.
Netherlands he turns red and is at a lost for words.
Netherlands
I…….I….
England
How dare you take advantage of sweet, innocent Canada, like that? You know he can’t stand up for himself. Have you got no shame?
Netherlands
….I…….I
France
Oui. There are other ways to get your kicks without bribing another nation. What are your brothels and weed not enough for you?
Netherlands
…...A…...I
Belgium
Thanking for waiting for me, broth….
She takes a look at the nations. A crying America is hugging a frustrated Canada very tightly. While England and France are yelling at an embarrassed Netherlands.
Belgium
I left for two minutes and already war has broken out! What happened?
England
Ah, hello Miss Belgium. We were just trying to settle a private matter.
Belgium
And that is?
England
Well…. You see.
France
I am afraid that your brother is a sugar daddy and has been bribing Canada for sexual favors.
Canada
No, he hasn’t.
Belgium just stands there motionless at first. Then she snickers and tries to contain it but can’t. She holds onto her stomach as she laughs uncontrollably.
Belgium
Sninkers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You think….HAHAH..you think Netherlands is a what?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
England
A sugar daddy. And this is no laughing matter. It is a matter of international interest.
Belgium
Sorry, but that is the most…hahaha..funniest thing I…snicker...ever heard. hahaha
Belgium starts to calm down a bit with only a few snickers here and there.
Belgium
Okay. Okay. I’m done. Netherlands isn’t anyones’ sugar daddy. He and Canada are just really good friends.
Pans to America still hugging Canada.
America
Then why was Canada going to give Netherlands a kiss.
Canada
What? I wasn’t going to give him a kiss.
America
But you told him to close his eyes.
Canada wiggled his arm to show America the box containing the crumbled cookies.
Canada
Yeah, so I can surprise him these maple brown sugar cookies I made.
America
Ah sweet you made cookies. Can I have some?
Canada
Sure they’re all broken anyway.
America
Ah bro, you need to more careful handily food.
Canada (Angrily)
MMMMMMmmm!
Everyone is now standing. America is eating the cookie crumbles from the box he’s holding.
France
Well, I guess we should all apologize for this misunderstanding.
England
Yes, but that still doesn’t explain why Netherlands just give Canada things without asking for monetary compensation.
Canada
Oh that. That’s been going on since WW2.
America
WW2?
Canada
Yes I was in WW2
America
I know that but…...I just don’t know what you did? Seeing how you didn’t join armies.
Canada
I was going to join my armies with the allies defense. However, I heard that Netherlands was in trouble.
America
Wait, you were in WW2, too?
Netherlands
Yes. It was a world war after all.
America
Alright smart guy than what were you doing?
Netherlands
Dying
FLASHBACK
EXT. SOME FOREST IN THE NETHERLANDS
The whole scene is then transition by one of those old time film roll cells. Netherlands was walking in the woods starving, dying, and alone. He falls to the ground. He tries to get up back can’t. His dulled eyes slowly start close shut. Until he’s laying unconscious. Suddenly, he starts to open his and realizes that he’s being carried. He turns his head to find out it’s Canada.
Netherlands (Weakly)
Hay?
Canada is spooked but turn his head towards Netherlands with relive.
Canada
Oh thank goodness you’re awake.
Netherlands
Do I know you?
Canada
Oh...ah...I’m Canada.
Netherlands
Oh right. That guy.
Netherlands then goes back to being unconscious
CUT-TO
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM. HOURS LATER.
Netherlands wakes up again only to find himself in a hospital. All bandaged up and still in pain.
Netherlands
What? I am not died.
Canada enters the room holding a tray of porridge.
Canada
Oh good you're awake.
Netherlands
Where Am I? And who are you again?
Canada
Well, you’re in infirmary. And I’m Canada.
Netherlands
Canada? What are you doing here?
Canada
I’d joined the allies because America got attacked by Japan.
Netherlands
Alright, but why aren’t you with the other allies then.
Canada
I heard you were in trouble. So I’m here to help. Here I brought you this.
Netherlands
Where did you get….
Canada
I brought some food rations with me.
Netherlands
I really sh….mmmm
Netherlands couldn’t finish his sentence because Canada puts a spoon of porridge in his mouth.
Canada
I insist. You need to keep your strength, if we are going to drive out the axis forces. Plus I put some maple syrup in the porridge and so it’s really sweet.
Netherlands
We?
Canada
Of course, I said I was here to help.
Netherlands
But….
Canada give Netherlands another spoon full of porridge.
Canada
No buts. Now eat up.
The film cells suddenly a appear again. To awkwardly cut to a finished and won battle. Netherlands is shocked while Canada is celebrating in the background.
Netherlands
I can’t believe that actually worked.
Canada
Yay, we win. Hooray.
Then again the film cells came in earlier again. Almost like the guy who’s telling the flashback is hiding something so he’s cutting a few details out of the story.
BACK TO REALITY
Netherlands
How that’s the story on how we become friends.
England
Wow, I guess they really are just friends.
France
And I thought there was something was going on.
Netherlands
Well there isn’t so you guys can just leave and….
Belgium
Oh brother……
Netherlands looks over to his sister, Belgium, who has a devilish smile.
Belgium
I think your forgetting another critical part of the story.
Netherlands
(Oh NO) No, there isn’t.
Canada
Oh right. I almost forgot.
FLASHBACK
INT. CANADA’S OFFICE
Canada was at his office when his phone rang.
Canada
Canada’s office, this is Canada speaking.
Officer
Sir, you need to come to the pier. Right now, if you have the time.
Canada
Did anything happen?
Officer
Mmm….I really can’t explain it over the phone…..No don’t put it over there….Sorry, but you really need to come over to the pier. Please.
CUT-TO
EXT. CANADA TRADING PIER
Canada
Okay I am here. What seems to be the matter…. O my…..
Canada sees a bunch of boxes and people try to figure out what to do with them. Suddenly, someone falls down while carrying a box. The box opens up to reveal it was full of tulip bulbs.
Canada
Tulip Bulbs?
Canada is frozen in confusion.
Canada
But….but...why?
Officer
Sir, here. This note came with the boxes. It’s address to you.
Note
To Canada. Thanks. From the Netherlands.
Canada
Well, it is a nice gesture, but this country is mostly cold climate. What am I going to do with all theses tulips?
Officer
More are coming this way.
Canada
What?
BACK TO REALITY
Canada is finishing the flashback and is oblivious to Netherlands is blushing red.
Canada
And that was the start of our friendship.
England and France gave Netherlands a look that said, “sure it was just for a “friend” nothing more.” While America who, was also oblivious, throws the box to the ground in frustration.
England
Well, isn’t that lovely.
France
Yes, flowers are a beautiful way to show someone that you care.
America
Bullshit, I saved the world like a bazillion times and I didn’t get any flowers. Then Canada just saves one nation and gets flower bombed.
Belgium
Flower bombs.
America
What?
Belgium
It wasn’t a one time thing.
America
WHAT!
Canada
He kind of gives me flowers every year. It happened so many times we started a festival in Canada because of it.
France
Why Netherlands you charmer.
America
Okay now I want answers. On why no one gave me any flowers.
England
Yes, Netherlands do tell us why do you give Canada flowers every year, since the end of WW2?
Netherlands
A well….you see…..it’s….all because…...of…..that which…..is…
Then there was a phone ring.
Canada
Hello this Canada, to whom…..Oh hello Kumajiro…..how are you….. You did…..I told you not to touch the...Well it can’t be that…..It’s on fire.
Canada leaves in a hurry.
Canada
Well don’t call me call the fire department. At least get out of the house.
As Netherlands watches Canada leaves he turns around to see Belgium, England, and France look at him with a sinister look. While America just looks mad. Netherlands shrugs and walks away.
Netherlands
Whatever, I don’t have time for this. I have another meeting to go to.
Belgium
You can’t avoid your feelings with meetings.
Netherlands
Watch me!
After he left America, Belgium, England, and France all gathered in a circle to talk.
America
Dudes how come Canada gets flowers. When I’m the more powerful nation
England
I think you’re missing the obvious, again. That being a certain nation has got it bad for another nation.
Belgium
Urgh, finally someone else sees it. I tried telling Luxembourg about it, but he doesn’t believe that Netherlands is capable of romantic feelings.
France
La sigh. Jeune amour. Le Gasp. We have got to set them up.
Belgium
Good luck. Every time I try to talk to him about how giving Canada flowers every year is a sign of affection. He always gives excuses like. “Oh well he saved me from dying” “The royal family wanted to do it.” “It’s good for both nation relations and trade.” “There was a surplus in the supply and the flowers would have gone to waste anyway.” “ He’s already expecting flowers, why stop now.”
France
But this is a really big deal. I give flowers to other nations sometimes. But never yearly at theses proportions for this long. There’s got to be something we can try.
Belgium
Why not just get Canada to confess to the Netherlands?
England
I am afraid that’s not so simple he very quiet spoken and doesn’t get his message across well. Plus when it comes to love he’s just as oblivious as America.
America
Hey!
France
Ohohohohohon, but they never have dealt with the nation of love before.
America
What? There’s a nation of love. How come I never meet him.
England
Sigh. You and me both America.
France
Allons-y
EXT. OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING
Netherlands, so called “meeting” is just him was sitting on a bench while smoking his pipe. He starts to reminisces about WW2
FLASHBACK
The cut of movie film reappears.
Canada
No buts. Now eat up.
Netherlands
You’re crazy. My people are starving. A few rations and some army isn’t going to do anything. If I lost then some unnamed nation isn’t going to help.
Canada
That my be so but here’s the thing about me. I never lost a war. And I’m not planning this being my first time.
There was an uncomfortable silence.
Canada
I’ll leave you to your porridge, then.
One week later. Netherlands tries to get up.
Canada
What are you doing?
Netherlands almost falls down.
Netherlands
Oh hey. Canada, is it?
Canada
Yes.
Netherlands
Since when did you get here?
Canada
Sorry, I’ve been here since seven.
Netherlands
Why didn’t you say anything? It’s almost eight.
Canada
I saw you trying to get up and I didn’t want to hurt your pride. Plus I wanted to see if you’ve gotten better.
Netherlands
Well, I haven’t.
Canada
I won’t say that. You’re starting to stand up.
Netherlands
It’s not enough.
Netherlands is back in bed feeling defeated. There’s a long silence. Canada breaks it and hands him a box.
Canada
Here you go. A present. Some if of your soldiers where able to keep it safe before your house got raided.
As Canada talks, Netherlands slowly opens the box. He is shock to found what is inside.
Netherlands
This is my scarf.
Canada takes the scarf from the box and wraps it around the Netherlands neck.
Canada
Look I know you fell hopeless right now. But your people still have hope and they need you right now. Don’t push yourself over the grave but don’t give up hope either.
Netherlands felt funny and turned pink.
Officer
Excuse me sir, it’s time.
Canada
Right. Netherlands, I am going to go and lead both armies. So I’m not going to be seeing you for awhile. Remembering it’s going to be okay in the end. Goodbye.
CUT-TO: THREE WEEKS LATER
EXT. ON THE WAR GROUNDS.
A newly recovered Netherlands was walking through the war ground where both armies set-up. He notices that all of the soldiers were frantic but were up in morale. Then he heard someone shouting orders. It was Canada.
Canada
I WANT ALL OF YOU TO GET IN FORMATION! YOU TELL YOUR PLATOON TO HEAD NORTH AND STAY THERE! COME ON EVERYONE.
As the Netherlands watches he felt all of the world’s distractions slowed down around him and only saw Canada leading.
Netherlands
Canada?
Canada than switches from commanding to a sunny smile. Which made the Netherlands turn pink a little bit.
Canada
Yes? Oh Netherlands it’s you. How are you doing?
Netherlands
What? Oh..I’m still in pain but I can fight through it.
Canada
You sure because I don’t want to have you dying in the middle of battle.
Netherlands
Don’t worry sweetheart. I’ll manage.
Canada
Okay then. We’ll be starting in an hour if your up for it.
Netherlands
You know it.
Canada
Great I’ll just let the generals know. HAY GENERAL GET OVER HERE. IF YOU HAVE THE TIME.
Netherlands (Thoughts)
Dam maybe I shouldn’t have left the hospital so early. My chest feels so tight that I’m starting to feel light headed. Did I just call Canada sweetheart? Eh probably nothing.
Later, before the battle. Netherlands looked at the army they’re about to face. He started to feel little bit nervous. Than he felt something slide into his hand. He saw that it was Canada holding his hand.
Canada
You ready?
Netherlands nods his head in response. They charged down. Soon after weeks and months of fighting they were able to drive the axis powers out of Netherlands. The nation become free again.
Netherlands
I can’t believe that actually worked.
Canada
Yay, we win. Hooray.
Netherlands then walks over to Canada. They meet face to face. Netherlands grabs Canada by the wist and drops him down for a kiss, as seen in the movies. However, that didn’t happen. That’s what Netherlands wanted to do, but in reality he just stared at Canada who was getting creep out.
Canada
Eek? Netherlands are you okay?
Netherlands then grabs both of Canada’s holds and gets on his knees.
Netherlands
Canada, helped feed my people when they were starving and stood by me with your armies during times of war. I promise I won’t forget this and I’ll find away to repay you.
Canada
Y-you don’t have to that. Really, I was just helping a nation out.
Netherlands
Too bad, because here’s the thing about me. I always pay off my debts. And I not planning on breaking that streak.
CUTS-TO
INT. THE HOME OF THE ROYAL DUTCH FAMILY. WEEKS LATER.
Netherlands stood inside and welcome the royal family on their safe return back from Canada.
Netherlands
Welcome home.
Duchess
It’s good to be back.
Netherlands
Is that the little princess? Congratulations.
Duchess
Yes, Thank You. And I can confidently say that she’s a native born Dutch princess.
Netherlands
Oh?
Duchess
Yes, because hours after before the princess was. Canada came over a declared the whole hospital part of the Netherlands for a few hours.
Netherlands
He did?
Duchess
Yes. You know we should visit the country again one day. It was such a beautiful country. I really like the forest and landscapes.
Netherlands
Yes, he really is beautiful. I mean the landscapes are really beautiful. With all the maple trees, polar bears, and those beautiful violet eyes, I mean mountains. Those beautiful violet mountains. Do you need help with your bags?
INT. NETHERLANDS’ OFFICE
Later, the Netherlands was in his office writing. When the Dutches enters.
Duchess
Good evening. Netherlands
Netherlands
Good evening, Duchess. What can I do for you?
Duchess
My family and I want to do something nice for Canada. For helping out with the war and providing the royal family protection.
Netherlands
Really!?! What do you have in mind?
Duchess
Mmmmmm…..we don’t know yet. We hoping since you’re a nation and he’s a nation you would know what to give him.
Netherlands
Flowers. Let’s give him flowers. A bouquet. No two bouquets. No what..
EXT. THE NETHERLANDS TRADING PIER
Netherlands
200,000 tulip bulbs sounds like a reasonable amount.
CUT-TO
INT. NETHERLANDS’ OFFICE. ONE YEAR LATER.
Netherlands was doing paper work. When images of Canada came to his mind. He ignores it and continues to work. But try has he may the flashes kept getting stronger. Until he breaks his pen.
INT. THE ROYAL FAMILY LIVING ROOM
The Dutches is playing with the one year old princess. When Netherlands knocks on the door and enters.
Duchess
O hello, Netherlands what are you doing here?
Netherlands
I’ve been thinking about the one year liberation of this nation. I’ve also been thinking how it wouldn’t be possibly without a certain other nation. So...
Duchess
You want to give Canada another 200,000 tulip bulbs don’t you.
Netherlands
Yes
Duchess
Go for it.
Netherlands
It’s already been set up I just need to sign a few papers.
CUT-TO
EXT. CANADA’S TRADING PIER. DAYS LATER.
Canada is again at the pier still surprised about the tulips and reads the note.
NOTE
To Canada, Thanks. From, Netherlands
A very small blush of pink spread across Canada’s face, along with a soft smile.
CUT-TO
EXT. CANADA’S TRADING PIER. A COUPLE OF DECADES LATER.
Canada and a couple of officers are at the pier.
Canada
Is everything ready?
Officer
Yes. But, there’s this box that’s a rectangle.
Canada
And?
Officer
And it’s the only rectangular box.
Canada takes a close look at the box. When suddenly a fist broke through it. Netherlands then breaks through the rest of the box. Holding a bouquet of tulips.
Canada
Eek. Netherlands? What are you doing here?
Netherlands
I came to visit you?
Canada
Really!?!
Netherlands
Here.
Canada
Are these for me? But you already sent me flowers.
Netherlands
Yeah to the nation of Canada, but this is personal for you.
Canada
Oh?
Canada looks disappointed but he shook it off because he’s still glad that Netherlands came and flashed his sunny smiles.
Canada
I’m glad you came.
Netherlands
I….
Officer
Excuse me sir everything is ready.
Netherlands
Ready for what?
Canada
Oh right. Here let me show you.
CUT-TO
EXT. THE TULIP FESTIVAL
Canada
Since you’ve been sending me..Sorry... the nation of Canada so many times that the people of Canada have started a festival around it.
Netherlands
Wow, I’m honored.
Canada
Come on let’s go have some fun at the festival.
Canada then grabs the Netherlands hand and leads him to the festival. He’s oblivious to the fact that Netherlands’ face is as red as the maple leaf on the Canadian flag.
BACK TO REALITY
EXT. OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING
Netherlands has a little goofy smile on his face. However it turn to mild annoyance when he is greeted by France. France is standing right next to the Netherlands who is still sitting and smoking.
France
Salut, Netherlands.
Netherlands
Oh god it’s you again. What do you want this time?
France
Le gasp. Why do you assume I am up to something? I am just here to give you back your notes.
Netherlands
Thank you. Now if you don’t mind.
France then sits down on the bench with Netherlands.
France
Oh I don’t mind at all.
There’s a long awkward silence.
France
You know, Canada is quite cutie. Don’t you agree.
Netherlands
I-I….guess.
France
You guess. The way he smiles. His timid manner. Plus he has the hair and eyes of a French man. Which he gets from me.
France was then hit in the head by a shoe. It pans to America, Belgium, and England hiding in a bush.
England (Mouths)
Get. To. The. Point.
France
My point being is it’s no wonder that some many nations want to pursue him romantic.
Netherlands
What?
France
Do you see the way Canada and Cuba talk with each other? Or how about when Mexico flirts him and offers to let him stay at her house? Then there’s Ukraine...
Netherlands
You’re lying they’re just his friends.
France
Mmmmm, maybe I am. But friends do sometimes turn into lovers. So why waste your chances giving him “just friend” gifts.
Netherlands
But I like giving him gifts. I mean…
France
Ohohohohohon. Yes gift giving is one of the many ways a person shows affection, but you don’t commit to the gifts signaling something more than just platonic friendship.
Netherlands
Commit? That’s funny coming from a guy who doesn’t commit to anyone, himself.
France
I’ll have you know I’ve been in deep love and committed to two long term romantic relationships in the past. So I know when someone is in love.
France said while holding three fingers. Netherlands doesn’t put that out. Instead he opts to leave, but France holds the Netherlands hand down which causes him to stay.
France
Wouldn’t it be nice, to actually spend more time with him instead during a one day festival.
Netherlands
How do you….
France
Wouldn’t it nice to actually go to the festival holding his hand or putting your arms around him or maybe sharing your scarf.
Netherlands
I….
France
Giving each other longing looks. Whispering sweet words and secrets only the two of you know to each other ears. Until finally you clash in sweet sweet embrace. Now...
Netherlands looks like he’s about to explode.
France (Whispers)
Wouldn’t. That. Be. Nice.
Netherlands
Yes! Oh God. I would love to do those things with him! But arguh feelings are stupid. What do I do?
France
You go to him. You go to him right now and tell him how you feel about him.
Netherlands
But what if.
France
Don’t think. Just do. You never know when you have this chance again. He could die tomorrow for all we know just go.
Netherlands starts running. France goes up to the bush where America, Belgium, and England where hiding.
Belgium
Yay, you go Netherlands.
France
And that my friends is how you get a confess out of someone.
England
Wow, I guess you finally starting to live up to your title.
France
Ohohohohn, what can I say……
America
No time let’s follow him.
CUT-TO
INT. HALLWAY
Canada is walking down the hallway.
Netherlands
Canada!
Canada
O hello
Netherlands holds Canada’s hands.
Netherlands
I have something I need to tell you.
Canada
Oooh? R-really?
CUT-TO
The others watching from a distance corriader.
Belgium
Ah man he’s going to confess. You got this brother.
CUT- BACK
Netherlands
I know this isn’t the traditional way of doing it but here it goes.
England
What is he doing?
Netherlands gets on one knee.
CUT-TO
France
Merde, he’s going to propose.
England
Dammit frog, what did you do?
France
Nothing, I just wanted him to confess his love. But this is way too far.
Belgium
Brother, NO!
CUT-BACK
Netherlands
Canada, I know this is really sudden but we know each other for a really long time. And I like being with you. So….
CUT-TO
America
Don’t worry guys this is a job for a hero.
It then goes back to a flustered Netherlands trying to find the right words.
Netherlands
Will y-ou…….will you…..
America then crashes into Netherlands.
Netherlands
Will you m…...
America
Touch down!
Canada
America what is going on?
America
Oh! Hay bro! I am just teaching this dude how to play American football.
America picks himself and Netherlands up with his arm around Netherlands. He uses his hand to cover Netherlands’ mouth.
Netherlands
What are y...
America
Now, Netherlands that is not what “take a knee” means. Come on I have to reshow the rules again.
America, Belgium, England, France, and Netherlands are now in the corridor.
Belgium
What the fuck was that?
Netherlands
What do you mean? And were you spying?
Belgium
Yes, because you’re basket case when it comes to feelings.
Netherlands
Well, I thought proposing was a good way to show may feelings.
Belgium
How?
Netherlands
I l-lo---like to spend more time with him for a very long time. You know like waking up in the mornings and going to bed together at night. All the stuff in between. You know shit like.
England
Shakespeare couldn’t said that better, himself.
Netherlands
Plus marriage is a good business strategy for taxes and pulling in resources.
England
That’s not a good reason to get married you git!
America
I don’t know as an American I say that lots of people get married for tax reasons. But as Canada’s brother I say if you force him into marriage because of tax reasons. Then your going to be waking up in the bottom of the ocean, buddy.
France
Look. I think the real problem here is...
Netherlands
That you guys have nothing better to do then meddle in my relationship affairs.
Belgium
Shh, we’re only trying to help.
France
As I was saying...that you, Netherlands, have to be able to be comfortable about telling your feelings to Canada.
CUT-TO
INT. ANOTHER MEETING ROOM.
Netherlands
This is stupid.
France
Hush. Okay. This is going to be a simple exercise.
France
Do you love your sister Belgium?
Netherlands
Yes
France
You got to say it.
Netherlands
Yes, I love my sister Belgium.
Belgium
Aw, love you too bro.
France
Now do you love England?
Netherlands
Ewww. Gross. No, I didn’t love England
England
Gee thanks.
France
Now for the finally test. O Canada! Can, you come in please?
America dressed like Canada walks in wearing goggles and a hat.
America
A gee wiz. Maple syrup and all that jazz.
France
Now do you love Canada?
Netherlands
I…..aaa….I….. guess.
America
I am sorry. I couldn’t quite hear that.
France
Come on Netherlands. It’s a yes or a no. He’s not going to bite.
America
But I mite. If that’s okay with you.
Netherlands
I---I---lllllllllllooo lllloooo. Lalalalala
Netherlands then hands him 20 euros.
Netherlands
Here have 20 euros.
America
Mmm thanks.
France
Non non, not like that. Try again.
Netherlands
Look Canada, I think you’re the embodiment of a cinnamon roll. Really sweet and warm.
America
Golly gee.
Netherlands
Now if you excuse me I’m late for a meeting.
Netherlands tries to escape through the door but Belgium stopped him by grabbing his scarf. Which chokes him a bit.
Belgium
Nope. You got to say it to him.
Netherlands (Whispers to Belgium)
I can’t say it to Canada right away. Not when everyone is looking at me like this. It’s killing the mood. Also, I’m really pissed at the fact you guys dragged Canada into this mess.
Belgium
Mmmmm, bro. That’s not Canada.
Netherlands
What do you mean that’s not Canada?
America
Yay, dude. My Canada impersonation is really spot on.
France
That’s right it was just a simulation to see how you’d really react.
Belgium
Kind of thought was it self explanatory.
France
Now that you know that this isn’t the real Canada. You can confess without fear.
Netherlands
No, I can’t because I know that isn’t the real Canada.
France
This is just practice.
Netherlands
It’s bullshit.
Belgium
I know what if “Canada” confesses his “feelings” to the Netherlands.
America
What!?!
France
Great idea.
America
Dudes, I’m not sure about this.
France pushes him in. They just stand there. He blushes.
America
I -I love you.
Netherlands
What!?!
America
I love you. I’m sorry I just thought you only saw me as a friend. I didn’t realize it. I’m sorry. But I do love you.
Netherlands just stands there before falling backwards and passing out from over whelming feelings.
Belgium
Brother, are you okay?
England
America, go find a first aid kit!
America
Right!
Moments later Netherlands starts to wake up.
Netherlands
Uuuuuggggggghhhhh.
Belgium
O good you’re wake. You passed out for a few seconds. Then when you woke and asked you how you felt you said and I quote, “I’m going back to sleep.”
Netherlands (Thoughts)
(What time is it?)
B elgium
We’ve been discussing ways for you to confess your feelings to Canada.
America
Yeah, like you should to a grand gesture. Like boom box over your head playing something romantic and gushy. Or say that your dying and only have months to live.
England
Then I came up with a better idea that wasn’t so flashy.
America
Hey?
England
Write him a letter that explains your deepest feelings towards him and seal it will a heart sticker. Then send it to him, so if he rejects you it wouldn’t hurt some much. Or better yet hide it away in your attic.
Netherlands
Well I take it into consideration, but right now we all late for a meeting.
France
Nice try, but you can’t pull the wool over our eyes like that.
Netherlands then shows the others his watch. They all suddenly had an “Oh shit” realization. They all then ran to the meeting hall and bust through the giant doors. The meeting begin. However, Netherlands had his mind on others things for the next two hours.
CUT-TO
INT. HALLWAY. TWO HOURS LATER.
Netherlands
I am just going to tell him.
England
Are you sure about this?
America
Yeah, like you’re really bad at feelings and stuff. Like really bad.
Netherlands
Don’t care. I am going to do it.
Belgium
Don’t worry brother were right behind you with a first aid kit in hand.
Netherlands just stands there waiting for Canada. Until Canada walks straight towards him.
Canada
Oh hello Netherlands.
Netherlands
S’up
CUT-TO
America, Belgium, England, and France all spying from another corridor. France slaps his hand onto his face.
France
Merde.
America
He’s off on a pretty good start.
England
Yes, America, because “s’up” is too real and personal to be written in histories greatest love poem openers.
Belgium (Angrily)
Shhhhhh.
Netherlands
There is something I have to really tell you.
While Netherlands is talking Canada is reaching in his pocket to get something.
Netherlands (Flustered)
I think I…...that is to say…..I think…..your…...Maybe we could.
Canada his holding two tickets. And signaling Netherlands to take one.
Canada
Here.
Netherlands takes one.
Netherlands
What is this?
Canada
It’s a ticket to a hockey match next Saturday night, that my boss usually gives me. However, he gave me two tickets instead of one. I was thinking that maybe we could go together.
Netherlands
You mean hang out….with you next Saturday.
Canada
Actually, I was thinking it could be like a date.
Netherlands is shocked and focusing on the word “date.”
Canada
So is that a yes to the date? Or
Netherlands nods his head franticly.
Netherlands
Y-yes. It’s a date.
Canada
Alright, see you then.
Canada then stands on his tippy toes to quickly kiss Netherlands on the cheek.
Canada
Giggle. Bye.
Netherlands just stands there frozen. The other nations came out of their hiding places.
Belgium
You did, bro.
England
Well technically Canada was the one to ask him out.
France
My little nation has grown so much. (Papa is so pride.)
America
Just try not to have to much fun. Hahaha. Or else.
Netherlands then passes out.
CUT TO
INT. CANADA’S HOUSE. NIGHT. HOURS LATER
Canada opens the door. Kumajiro is sitting on the couch.
Canada
Kumajiro, I’m home.
Kumajiro
How was your meeting?
Canada
Well….
FLASHBACK
Canada
Kumajiro, I actually thought you burned down the house….Sorry, but I don’t appreciate you telling me what is happening on TV…. That’s what recording is for.
Canada sees America, Belgium, England, and France huddle in a group.
Canada
Hey guys, it was just a false alarm.
However, Canada is invisible to the others.
Canada
I guess they can’t see me, again. Maybe I should go.
America
Dudes how come Canada gets flowers. When I’m the more powerful nation
Canada(Pissed)
Oh I see they’re all talking about me behind my back. Well maybe I can just eavesdrop this one time.
England
I think you’re missing the obvious, again. That being a certain nation has got it bad for another other nation.
Canada
I wonder who they are taking about now.
Belgium
Urgh, finally someone else sees it. I tried telling Luxembourg about it but he doesn’t believe that Netherlands is capable of romantic feelings.
Canada
Le Gasp. Netherlands likes someone. Who could it be?
France
La sigh. Jeune amour. Le Gasp. We have got to set them up.
Belgium
Good luck. Every time I try to talk to him about how giving Canada flowers every year is a sign of affection.
Canada
Wait! Netherlands doesn’t like me that way we just really good friends. Right?
Belgium
He always gives excuses like. “Oh well he saved me from dying” “The royal family wanted to do it.” “It’s good for both nation relations and trade.” “There was a surplus in the supply and the flowers would have gone to waste anyway.” “ He’s already expecting flowers, why stop now.”
Canada
What? But Netherlands told me that nations give flowers to each other all the time. It wasn’t a big deal.
France
But this is a really big deal. I give flowers to other nations sometimes. But never yearly at theses proportions for this long. There’s got to be something we can try.
Belgium
Why not just get Canada to confess to the Netherlands?
England
I am afraid that’s not so simple he very quiet spoken and doesn’t get his message across well. Plus when it comes to love he’s just as oblivious as America.
America
Hay!
Canada
Oh God I’m an idiot.
France
Ohohohohohon, but they never have dealt with the nation of love before.
Canada
Papa, please don’t get involve.
America
What? There’s a nation of love. How come I never meet him.
England
Sigh. You and me both America.
France
Allons-y
Canada
Noooooo.
Canada walks away blushing red and covering his face.
CUT-TO
Half an hour later. Canada is walking and thinking
Canada (Thoughts)
Maybe they were just bored and gossiping. Yeah that’s it. Still what if it were true. He does give me flowers every year. But…
FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK
EXT. CANADA’S TRADING PIER
Canada is again at the pier still surprised about the tulips and reads the note.
NOTE
Dear Canada, Thanks. From, Netherlands
A small blush of pink spread across Canada’s face, along with a soft smile.
Kumajiro
What does the note say?
Canada
Well, it’s a thank you note, from the Netherlands
The polar bear just stares at the smiling Canadian.
CUTS-TO
INT. CANADA’S OFFICE. A FEW YEARS LATER.
Canada places the note careful in a box full of other notes. K watches from the door frame.
Canada
Eek! Oh Mister Kumajiro. You scared me.
Kumajiro
You’ve been smiling all day.
Canada
Well today was the day the tulips came, from Netherlands.
Canada then spaces out for a bit.
Kumajiro
Hay!
Canada
Oh sorry. I almost forget about dinner.
Canada then carries Kumajiro to the kitchen and places him in his chair. Canada grabs the vegetables and starts cutting them.
Canada
Sorry, I just been so spacey today with the tulips and all that. Some of my people are even planning on starting a festival because of it.
Kumajiro
Hay!
Canada
Yes?
Kumajiro
Do you like him?
Canada
What I mmmm...Why do you ask?
Kumajiro
Because you’re always smiling every year when the flowers arrive. You also start to turn a darker shade of pink to red every year.
Canada
Well, I do like him and it’s also nice to get flowers from someone. Especially, someone that remembers you exist….But...I think he only sees my as a good friend.
Kumajiro
Oh.
Canada
Still, a part of me wishes he saw me more as a friend.
CUTS-TO. A FEW YEARS LATER.
EXT. CANADA’S TRADING PIER
Netherlands
I came to visit you?
Canada
Really!
Netherlands
Here.
Canada
Are these for me? But you already sent me flowers.
Netherlands
Yeah to the nation of Canada, but this is personal for you.
Canada
Oh?
Canada looks disappointed but he shook it off because he’s still glad that Netherlands came and flashed his sunny smiles.
Canada
I’m glad you came.
CUTS-TO. A FEW HOURS LATER.
INT. CANADA’S HOUSE
Canada opens the door, enters, the house. Even though Kumajiro is on the couch Canada doesn’t greet him. He just place the tulips in a vase filled with water from the kitchen sink. Then goes upstairs to his room. Kumajiro sees all of this a follows him up. Kumajiro enters the room cautiously and crawls onto the bed. He sadden to see Canada curled up in a ball lying on his bed.
Kumajiro
Hay.
Canada looks up with watery eyes at Kumajiro. He’s about to cry.
Kumajiro
Are you okay?
C anada
It’s stupid. And dumb. And piety. But a small part of me really hoped that the 200,000 flower bulbs were for me as me not just me as a nation. But I was wrong. He gave me a bouquet like he gives any other nation he visits. I’m just his friend. Isn’t that great!
Canada tries to put up a smile even though he’s in pain. The polar bear snuggles up to him. Canada hugs back and crying onto his friend.
BACK TO REALITY
Canada is still walking through the hallway.
Canada (Thought s )
….he only sees me as his friend.
Netherlands
Canada!
Canada turns around to see Netherlands looking sweaty.
Canada
O hello
Netherlands holds Canada’s hands.
Netherlands
I have something I need to tell you.
Canada
Oh?
Netherlands
I know this isn’t the traditional way of doing it but here it goes.
Netherlands gets on one knee.
Canada (Thought s )
Wwwwwhhhaaaattt? Is happening?
Netherlands
Will y-ou…….will you…..Will you m…...
America
Touch down!
Canada watches as America takes Netherlands back.
Canada
America what is going on?
America
Oh hay bro, I am just teaching this dude how to play American football.
Netherlands
What are you….
America
Now, Netherlands that is not what take a knee means. Come on I have to reshow the rules again.
Canada (Thought s )
Bull-shirt.
Canada
I wonder where they’re all going.
CUTS-TO
France and America dressed up like Canada are talking outside of the meeting room.
Panel #
France
Alright, America. You know the plan.
America
Wait for you to call me in and pretend to be Canada.
France
Bon
France goes back inside. But as soon as he does. Canada comes running towards America.
Canada
Oh thank goodness there you are America. Japan is in trouble.
America
What!?! What happened?
Canada
There’s no time to explain. He needs a hero right now. Wait let me take your hat and goggles so they don’t slow you down. Now go he could be dying for all we know.
America
I’m coming buddy.
Canada then walks through the door after hearing the signal. Pretending to be America that’s pretending to do a Canada impression.
Canada
A gee wiz. Maple syrup and all that jazz.
CUT-TO
Netherlands just stands there before falling backwards and passing out.
Belgium
Brother, are you okay?
England
America, go find a first aid kit!
Canada
Right!
Canada goes outside to removes the goggles from his eyes. His face is red and he looks concerned. Suddenly, America appears running holding a first aid kit.
America
Dude, what the hell? When I looked to see if Japan was okay he said he was fine. I even brought the first aid kit to him. Did I miss anything?
Canada starts to place the hat and the goggles on America.
Canada
Yes, there was a change of plans. Netherlands is now passed out and you have to bring him the first aid kit.
America then gives him the thumbs up with a wink.
America
You got it dude.
CUT-TO
Later Canada is on his phone and laptop.
Canada
Hello, Boss. Sorry to bother you, but can I ask you a favor. You know how you always order me one ticket to the hickey game. Then I would print it out. Well,...
BACK TO THE PRESENT
Canada
Long story short I have a date with the Netherlands this Saturday. So that means you’re going to be spending the weekend at Mexico’s place.
Kumajiro
Mmmmm.
Canada
What’s wrong?
Kumajiro
He better not hurt you again.
Canada
Don’t worry about it.
CUT-TO:
INT. BELGIUM’S LIVING ROOM
America, Belgium, England, And France are all in Belgium’s living. They are all eating and enjoying the chocolate she’s brought out.
Belgium
I think we’ve all earned it.
America
Oh man this is a amazing.
England
See what did I tell you.
France
Oui, tres bon.
America
Hay, Belgium. I’ve been meaning to ask you. Why don’t you take request to make chocolate?
England and France both looked at America with shocked then towards Belgium. Belgium just giggles and slowly shows cracks in her sanity as she tells her story.
Belgium
Ah, young America. There was a time when I would love to share my chocolate with others. However, nations keep on asking and asking. Until, one day I snapped and exact my vengeance with the very thing they craved most.
England then changes the subject. It worked because Belgium went back to her sunny self.
England
So what do you guys Netherlands and Canada are doing.
Belgium
Probably, something really sweet and simple.
America
Yeah, they probably really embarrassed right now and having awkward conversions.
France
Well, I know what I would do on a date. Ohohohohon.
England
Dammit France. Not everyone puts out on the first date. Besides Canada is too sweet for that.
Belgium
And Netherlands would just pass out if the opportunity presented it self.
America
Put out what?
France
Hmm, guess your right.
America
Put out what? Candy? Snacks?
CUT-TO
INT. CANADA’S BEDROOM
What the other nations didn’t know was after dinner and a game. They went back to Canada’s place and one thing lead to another. Both nations are now in bed under the sheets in afterglow. Netherlands is red and a staring at the ceiling. While Canada is smoking the Netherlands’s pipe and smiling.
Netherlands
I love you.
CUT-TO
INT. MEETING BUILDING. MONDAY MORNING
Italy, Germany, and Japan were at a vending machine. Italy was putting coins in when he realizes that doesn’t have enough.
Italy
Hey Germany, do you have any money you can lend me?
Germany
I already lend you enough money as it is!
Italy
Ah! I’m sorry. Hey Japan?
Japan
Don’t even think about it.
The trio goes into the meeting room twenty minutes before the meeting starts. Italy scans the room to see if there’s any nations to can lend him some money. What he finds is Netherlands. Who is in cloud nine and has his scarf more tightly around his neck than usually.
Italy
Hey Netherlands can I borrow some money?
Japan
Are you crazy? He’s not going to….
Netherlands writes and hands Italy a check. Italy doesn’t question it. However, Germany and Japan are concerned and surprised.
Netherlands
Here you go.
Italy
Wow, thanks.
Germany
Gah? Why did you give Italy a check?
Netherlands
Oh my mistake. Heres one for you, too. Oh and here’s one for you as well, Japan. So you don’t feel like a third wheel.
Japan
Nani, Netherlands are you feeling okay?
America enters after hearing this.
America
Hey Netherlands can I have a check too. For lets say 1.03 trillion dollars.
England then bonks America on the head.
America
Ow dude. What was that for?
England
You are not making Netherlands pay off your credit card debt.
Netherlands hands America the check for exactly that amount.
Netherlands
Here you go.
America
Sweet. Finally.
America holds the check when suddenly is was swiped away from him by Belgium. She then takes all of the other checks that Netherlands gave and rips them all to pieces. Italy and America shout “No!” America sheds a single tear.
America
I was so close.
France
What’s going on over here?
Belgium
What were you thinking?
England
He’s probably getting enough oxygen to his brain with his scarf tightly wrapped around his neck
As England loosen the scarf America, Belgium, England, and France all notice the purple love bites on his neck.
France
Is that?
America, Belgium, England, and France then notices Netherlands waving softly to Canada across the other side of the room. Canada blows him a kiss. Netherlands blushes even more causing hearts appear around him. After seeing this, France goes up to hug Canada because Canada made his perverted papa proud.
France
Mon fils!
America
So wait did Canada and Netherlands...
England
America, please where in a place of business.
America
Got into a huge fist fight that went to far.
England then bonks America on the head. While Belgium takes pictures of Netherlands’ silly face. It then cuts to Italy, Germany, and Japan. Who are all confused, except for Italy who is sad about losing the money.
Japan
What just happened?
Germany
I do not know, Japan.
Italy
I still need money to buy my snack.
THE END
