March 16.

They could have celebrated Feliciano's and Lovino's birthday a day early, but a Vietnamese girl's birthday is today. Actually, the party is held two days later due to a family party and hanging out with friends.

"FUCK YEAH!" she hollers as she tramples herself down the stairs.

She can't hold in her excitement. She's fourteen today and is no longer thirteen. In addition, she's allowed to host a party with just her squad and the nations, and her family has to leave the house so she can have the time with her friends. Thank god.

It's nearly 3 o'clock, and everything in the house is set. She's cleaned the house, vacuumed the floor, and organized the entire house except her grandparents room. She's put out the snacks, food, and drinks. Outside, she drags the grill out into its position. She sets up chairs and tables outside in her backyard. She does all this without her parents. Wow. Five hours of work pays it off.

All she does is wait for the guests to arrive.

The first people to come is Feliciano and Sebastian—not surprising. The next few people are the rest of the HetaSquad, arriving with the nations they are fond with. After ten minutes, everyone she had listed is here. Hope, Shelby, Sammi, Dreamz, Annalise, Taylor, Jenna, America, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Italy, Romano, Seborga, Hong Kong, China, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Spain, Germany, and Prussia. All but two nations.

The doorbell rings in the nick of the time.

"Hm, I wonder who's at the door," Hope says. "Everyone's here."

"Must be Arthur and Francis," Thaovy answers.

All movement and voices die off. A glass cup shatters on the concrete. All eyes are wide with fear.

"Thaovy, don't you dare open that do—"

Too late. Thaovy sprints into her house and to the front door. She opens the door, revealing a Frenchman and a Briton.

"Hey, y'all!" she greets them, giving Francis and Arthur each a hug. "I'm so glad y'all could make it!"

"So do I, but the bloody frog here took nearly an hour to get his hair right," Arthur complains.

"Excuse moi," Francis counters, flipping his hair. "My hair is important to me."

Thaovy giggles. For a second, she believed that they had—

"... Thaovy? Are you going to let us in?"

She madly flushes. "Y-yeah. Sorry 'bout that. My mind wandered off. Did y'all give me gifts?"

They hand her the presents as she steps out of the way for them to enter the house. She leads them to the backyard, where she lays out the rest of the presents. Before they enter the back, she evilly grins.

"Ready to play a little trick on them?" she asks.

France and Britain smug while looking at each other. She nods on confirmation. As soon as the trio enters the backyard, everyone freezes. A plate drops on the grass.

"H-hey, Artie!" Alfred exclaims, shaking. "H-hey, Francis! What are ya doing here?"

Arthur, Francis, and Thaovy look at each other, trying not to laugh. They stare back at the crowd.

"Is it not obvious? We are 'ere for the petite fille's birthday!" Francis cheers.

The Vietnamese girl smacks the Frenchman's head. "Stop calling me a little girl!"

"No it isn't!" Feliciano exclaims. "H-her birthday is not today! I-It's actually in September! Yeah, I remember!"

Now the trio are covering their mouths that are filled with muffled laughter. However, they don't want to tell them just yet. Thaovy calms herself down first.

"Alright Feli. What kind of part are we having at my house?" Thaovy questions, smirking through her snorts.

Feliciano squeaks, and he places his younger brother in front of him. Sebastian starts to shake.

"W-well, it's a, uh... a... a welcoming party!" Sebastian stutters out.

They can't contain it anymore. Thaovy, England, and France burst in laughter as they hold their stomachs. Everyone else stare at the trio in confusion

"It's," she finally speaks through her laughter, "alright. I honestly didn't mean to scare y'all." Thaovy recollects her thoughts and takes a deep breath. "I brought them here for my birthday party."

"Why did you do that!?" Shelby yells. "They would be this close to find out that you'r—"

Feliks silences the Jewish girl by swiping out his hand over her mouth to shut her up. His eyes glare at her, warning her. Shelby nods, understanding him.

"Miss Michigan, it's alright. Five days ago, Britain and I found out that she is a mortal," Francis answers.

The seven mortals gasp. "WHAT!?"

Thaovy shrugs. "Yeah. Eyebrows realized it and attempted to erase my memories of the nations. He later gave me a second chance because of my sappy speech."

"Quiet, you," the emerald eyed man demands. "It was because I saw difficult things she's been through in the past."

"She also showed us her post on Instagram of her confession of what she's been hiding in the past," the Frenchman adds. "Although she's healed quite a bit, we've decided to let her be with us. Plus we told her to continued to keep our secret, and we get to know her more as mortal."

"It also lifts a huge weight from me. Now I don't have to keep researching and keep pretending to be San Marino anymore," Thaovy says as she smirks at her friends. "Now that's over with, let's kick up the music!"

Everyone resumes back to their activities. Thaovy sighs in relief. Now that's over with, she can relax and finally be herself whenever England and or France are around. Her mind snaps back to her birthday party, and she drags the two nations next to her into the crowd.

The cake—in which she isn't expecting but Alfred decided to order her a large cake for everyone—arrives two hours later in the party. Everyone sings a happy birthday to the Vietnamese girl, and she immediately blows the candles out. She cuts the cake and offers it to everyone. Before anyone can finish their cake, she devours hers first.

Presents have come around later, and all the nations and mortals are stuffed in her small house. Carefully, she opens the presents one by one and giving each person a hug for the present. She makes a list of what she had gotten from who:

- Hamilton shirt from Alfred
- 20 Euros from Ludwig
- A Prussia and Germany flag from Gilbert
- An Italy flag and a book called "Cussing Around the World" from Lovino

- 20 Australian dollars and a Australia flag from Jett
- A New Zealand flag from Cooper
- 150 Chinese Yuan and a China Flag from Yao
- 155 Hong Kong dollars and a Hong Kong flag from Leon
- 380 Peso and a Mexico flag from Juan
- 80 Polish złoty and a Poland flag from Feliks
- 20 British pound and an England and Great Britain flag from Arthur

Yeah. Thaovy has a thing for foreign money and flags.

Thaovy rechecks through her lists and realizes that two others didn't give her gifts yet.

"Hey, Veneziano, where's my present!? Same with you, Sebby!" Thaovy exclaims in surprise.

"Oh yeah! Fratello, you know what to do?" Sebastian says to his brother.

"Sí!" Feliciano replies.

The two Italians stand on both sides of Thaovy. Confused, she doesn't do anything. Then Feliciano and Sebastian lean down and kiss her cheeks. Flushing in deep red, she buries her face in her arms. Loud hollers and squeals surround her, but she feels like it was very embarrassing. Then she realized she had forgotten her gifts to Veneziano and Romano.

"Wait!" Thaovy yells at the crowd after the kiss. "I have to get something for Feli and Lovino! I'll be right back!"

She sprints into her house and into her room. She grabs the gift and heads back to the backyard.

"I'm sorry for giving you and Lovino a late birthday present. I was too busy watching Beauty and the Beast and kept thinking that it reminds me of Taylor and Romano. I was also frustrated that the candle thing had his eye and heart on another girl and I kept whisper-screaming, 'DON'T GO FOR HER! GO FOR THE CLOCK!' because the clock reminded me of Arthur while the candle reminded me of Francis. I ship the clock and the candle together so yeah," she apologizes.

Arthur chokes, Lovino and Taylor flush, and Francis wiggles his eyebrows at the Brit. Thaovy shoved the gift to Lovino. He opens it, and he seems to have gotten some tomatoes. They aren't ordinary, because he notices that there are no black sports or any scratches in them. He stares at the a young Texan.

"I thought you would like some for your pasta or for your own taste," she comments.

He looks down and blushes. "Thank you, bastard."

She faces the younger Italian. "Here's the gift I wanted to give you."

Thaovy grabs his shoulders. With her tippy toes as straight as possible, she kisses Veneziano's cheek. Going back down, she blushes but keeps looking at him. Feliciano's curl curves into a heart, and he gives her a big hug.

"Happy birthday, Thaovy," Feliciano says.

"Thank you," she replies before facing Sebastian. "You'll get yours on your birthday soon, Sebby."

This party was really one of her favorites.
