"Merry Christmas you filthy animals"
---

It was a beautiful spring morning, the weather was temperate and the warm air had a soft breeze blowing through the park, and the birds were singing lightly. It wasn't picture perfect though, you were squatting in a bush in a cute yet short maid dress and cat ears.

You held the skirt to your skin around your arse and thighs. You peaked through the shrubbery leaves and  continued to watch Antonio convince Romano to to get in one of those cutouts for novelty photos.

You shot a text to your friend and crush Belarus.
-'omg where are you?'

Only a few moments pass before she replies.
-'down by the pond, headed up the path'
-'still by the center?'

You quick shoot her a reply.
-'Yes. Careful tho Antoino and Romano are also here. I'm in a bush by the far path leading to the plaza.'

You tucked your phone back into your bra and look back out at the intersection of paths before you.

"What are you doing here in such a ridiculous outfit?" Romano asked Spain.

"What are you talking about Romano? its April fools day!"

Romano just looked at Spain like he was being crazy, but honestly that is always how they interact.

"I'm just so glad you made it!" Antonio practically squealed.

Just then England  ran down the path chaceing a... a chibi France?
Ok.
Weirder things have happened.

"I'M SERIOUS YOU LITTLE PERVERT!" Arthur screamed.

"Please you don't understand!" Francis begged.

You ended up blocking them out too, again the norm the for the two of them.

You were on the look out for the beautiful Natalia. The stunning Slavic woman with long silvery hair, and an icey  voice and a temperate to match.

That's when you spotted her strutting up the path in a equally cute maid dress. pinching Alfred's ear inbetween her fingers, and dragging him behind her. Alfred wearing a revealing waiter outit with bear ears.

"Ow ow ow! Not cool dude! I'm sorry, I just said you look hot!" Alfred cried.

She only ignored him and pulled out her cell phone and started texting.

You peaked your head out of the bush slightly and started to try to grab her attention. "psst- psst- Natalia."

She stopped mid text and turned towards your voice and walked straight for you, Alfred still in hand.

"There you are ______, I entered on the wrong side of the park." Belarus stated. "Why don't you come on out of there?"

"I'm sure she's in the same predicament we all seem to be in." China's voice rang out from the tree above you. You popped your shoulders out from the bushes as you listened to him.

"We all seemed to have gotten letters about some embarrassing photos taken of us, and we were blackmailed to wear these ridiculous outfits here." Yao farther explained. "See, England thinks he's found the culprit." he said pointing to where England and France were wrestling.

You put a hand up, moving it around in the air, to try to prevent yourself from getting flashed. Neither one of them wern't wearing much. Then you felt your phone vibrate.

"admit it it was your handwriting, and this is just the sort of prank your pull, you want to be scantily clad no matter what, so of course its a perfect ruse, for you to pretend you also got a letter!"

"What if is really not him this year?" America whined still having his ear be pinched by your crush, whom she still paid no attention to.

You felt your phone vibrate from another text again and you pulled it from your bra and looked at it, still hidden in the bushes.

You had two texts from Picardy. you slumped down in the bush a little to read the texts better.

-'France is getting cornered'
-'Maybe we should "mutiny" and just side with Antonio.'

You shot back a text quickly.
-'Too risky, you think he'll give back our pictures??'
You waited for a few seconds for him to text back.

-'Ok, but feel free to follow my lead if this goes sideways _____.'

"Who are you texting?" Natalia asked snapping your attention up to her.

"Ow ow ow, don't increase the pressure in not doing anything!" Alfred whined.

"Oh just Vincent." You tell her honestly. "Seems everyone got these letters that China is taking about."

She nodded silently.

"Belarus please I'm sorry please let me go." Alfred whined louder.

She sighed and rolled her eyes before letting America's ear go. He whined a little more.

"So, Arthur thinks it's Francis?" You ask unenthusaitcally.

"I know how original." America replied.

"Yes I think it was him too," Natalia interjected. "My letter looked like his handwriting."

"Hey that's what I've been saying!!" England whom was sitting on the small near-naked chibi France shouted to Belarus. "Are you going to admit to it now?" he said sqwishing the blond more and smacking him a few times.

"Oww yes, yes ok it was my hand writing! Are you happy now?!"

"Ah-ha! I knew it!" England shouted triumphantly.

"But there is more to it, and more you should know, I didn't act alone!" France exclaimed.

Your stomach dropped.

"You seriously think I could took everyone's blackmail pictures by myself?" France Laughed looking right at you.

You could feel Belarus' icy steal eyes

"What are you guys shouting about?" Spain asked, also clad in a sexy bunny outfit. Dragging Picardy and Romano behind him, both in normal clothes. "Lovino, do you know what they are talking about? is it that same strange letter thing you said your brother got?"

"I guess so, your guess is as good as mine. I didn't stick around home long after getting your text."

"Awee Lovi, you really dropped everything because of me?~" Spain teasted

"Shut up stupido!" Romano huffed before turning away from the older nation, crossing his arms.

"Anyway, Vincent also said something also about France blackmailing." Spain continued.

"Yes France forced _____ and I, to help him blackmail some of the nations to make sure they came."

"Francis I can't belive that! You know I wanted to celebrate but taking a funny group picture! in the plaza." Spain said pointing to the short path that led up to the plaza. "Did all if the people on you half of the invitation list actually get blackmailed?"

"Yes, well most, just the ones who I thought would think just the invitation to a group picture would somehow be a prank." France said.

"Then why actually take pictures?!" Arthur interrogated.

"Then most of you would not show up without proof and I would still let down Spain with his silly idea for this group picture." France cried. "Will you get off me now?"

"Once you hand over the other copies!"

"I didn't have a copies made I sent the only copies out. Do I look like I have any photos on me anyway England?!"

"Alright can everyone make their way to the plaza?!" Spain said cutting off England and France's fight leading the way to the plaza.

Everyone slowly and almost reluctantly followed Antonio, but Natalia paused for a moment. then outstretched her hand to help you out of the bush.

You blushed lightly. She looked so angelic with the sun shining through her silvery hair giving her the halo effect. You felt butterflies in your stomach and you were sure you accidently let out a dreamy sigh.

"So France's letter-" Natalia Started. then stopped at the sight of you in your adorable matching maid outfits.

"Oh Natalia! I'm sorry, well, what I mean is, your name was on France's list, not mine or Picardy's. I have no idea what He put you through!" You began to apologize at her.

Natalia gave one of her cool grins. "My letter just said about most of what Spain actually said. Also the fact that France finally found out that you indeed do have a mega crush on me. I had enlisted him go find out months ago and he said he was sure now."  she said before softly caressing your chin.

Your blush increased 10 times. before she planed a soft lingering kiss on your lips. then your Blush just darken farther.

"If you still can't tell. I like you too and I'm not really that forward. But, _____ well you be my girlfriend?" Natalia asked.

"Yess!!" you squeezed. before throwing yourself into a hug, and she hugged you back.

"Why don't we get this group photo over with." You laughed before giggling and leading her up the path. this was actually the beat april fools day update every had.

Russia popped his head up from a manhole cover as soon as he was alone, and let out a dark chuckle. "I am so glad that the embarrassing photo problem worked itself out, without having anyone seeing me in this embarrassing outfit. But I will definitely get France back for this."
