Arthur twitched, and Alfred smirked. Iggy always wakes up when someone touches him.. Alfred thought as Arthur spazzed himself awake.
"WHAT IN BLOODY HE**!?" He squeaked, nearly jumping into Alfred's lap, the keys falling out of his pocket. Alfred laughed so hard he was having troubled breathing.

My face turned bright red and I grabbed the keys "Got em!" I said, shaking the keys and looking at Arthur's hard glare. My cheeks turned scarlett red and I burried my face in my hands and started laughing "It...It was..Shays..I-Idea" I lauged, pionting over at the dog, who lifted her head and wagged her tail a bit, hearing her name.

Alfred laughed even more, and Arthur's face turned red aswell.
"God, you could have asked.. Alfred..oh lord you told her to do it didn't you!? GAH" The brit growled, rolling off of the american, and adjusted his shirt. "Alllfreeed." Arthur groaned, seeing his friend grinning again.
"What!? I wanted to see if your reaction would be different from when i did it!" Arthur rolled his eyes, and grumbled something about Alfred being a moron.

I rolled my eyes "I don't back out of dares, I may be dead scared of a lot of things, but I'd never back out of a dare. No matter how weird it is," I looked at Shay who had walked over and licked my hand. I smiled at rubbed her head "Sides' it WAS Shay's idea, isn't that right Shay, aww your such a cute lil' doggy. Yes you are! Yes you are!" I cooed, talking to the dog as if it were a baby. Shay woofed and thumped her tail, liking my pleaseant tone.

October

It had gotten colder, if that was even possible. Colder and wetter, did halloween even excist here? I hoped so, I liked halloween. My stomach had also expanded a bit, nothing to bad, just a little. I was now, 3 months pregnant? That sounded about right, and I was managing just fine, no mood swings, I really hadn't packed on the pounds, no fat ankles. I walked into the drafty kitchen and felt my phone buzz, it was mom. I sighed and placed the phone to my ear.
"Hello?" Her trilling voice growled. I cleared my throat, indicating that I was listening.
"I just called to remind you that we will NOT be seeing you for Thanksgiving" She growled, what happened to Christmas?
"Aw ma' don't be like that, you're gonna really like my boyfriend" -I don't know why I said Arthur was my boyfriend, but I did- "He's really nice, and funny, and polite an-" She cut me off.
"And he got you pregnant" She growled.
I nodded, as if she could see me "Mhm, but I want the kid now, cute lil' tot, you're gonna be a grandma!" I chimed and I heard the line go dead. I sighed contently and looked upstairs to where Arthur had been, it was pretty early, he probably wasn't even awake.


Ooc: Question, does Alfred g back to America by now? Or is he still there?

((ooc: Alfred stays for another year or so...Arthur may keep him, so he stays the rest of this year, then we'll see what Arthur thnks))

Arthur sighed, dragging the grocery bags inside, trying to tune out Alfred's complaining about not getting the ingrediants for hamburgers.
"For the last time Alfred, we had them LAST NIGHT. once a week i said, thats what i meant, you git." He groaned, taking the bags from Alfred. He walked into the kitchen to find Riley talking to her mom, and calling him her 'boyfriend'. Once she hung up, Arthur smirked.
"Boyfriend hm? When did that happen?" He asked jokingly, kissing her on the forehead. Alfred made a small sound of dissapproval in the back of his throat and Arthur smirked, "Righto c'mere you big oaf." Arthur said, kissing Alfred's forehead aswell. Alfred grinned, and began putting the groceries away.

I laughed as Arthur came in with groceries for food. I looked at the phone in my hands and stuffed it in my pocket, "Hey," I said casually taking an apple from the fridge and taking a bite "Since there isn't a Thanksgiving here, can you and me fly to my parents house? I missed Thanksgiving last year and it made me sad" I said taking another bite, hopfully Arthur hadn't caught the part about meeting my parents. I eyes his groceries and frowned, no thankgiving food, but it was only October.

Arthur perked, his thick brows furrowing, and his lips forming a small frown.
"A, uh, whole plane trip? God, Riley...thats a lot of money.." He mused, packing away the rest of the food, and pulling out a bottle of water.
"I guess so..are you coming back to England? Or..are you going to stay in America?" He asked, and Alfred cocked his head.

I shrugged, "I have money in my bank account, enough for three plane tickets here and back." I shrugged and looked at my feet "And, I think i'd come back, I mean, that's kinda' up to Arthur I guess. Even though my family can be total a**es I haven't seen them since September of last year..." I said, taking another bite of my apple and looking at Arthur the Alfred. "It'll be fun, Alfred, you could visit and we could stay from Thanksgiving through Christmas and come back for British new years or whatever..." I said, taking another bite and swallowing it half chewed.

Arthur nodded slowly, shrugging.
"Im not sure..I guess that wouldn't be so bad.." He trailed off, tossing the water in the trash. "It's a plan then!"

((wanna go ahead to a scene on the plane?? :>))

Ooc: Sure

I hated flying, mainly because I couldn't get out. I sat down on the plane and sighed deeply, what If I couldn't do this? We were in regular coach seats and I was sat in the complete middle, wth Arthur to my right and Alfred on the other side of him. I sat next to an extremly fat, smelly man who kept looking at me with a perverted smile on his face. I rolled my eyes and rested my head on Arthur's shoulder "I hope they like you..." I sighed lacing my hands with his a feeling a bit air sick, we weren't even up in the air yet but I still felt sick to my stomach. 4 months pregnant...5 more months to go. The idea scared me, maybe I didn't want the kid afer all.

Arthur glared daggers at the man, who simply flashed a toothless grin at him. Arthur winced, and then turned his attention to Alfred, who had his face glued out of the window. The plane ride was overnight, Both Alfred and Riley using Arthur as a pillow. They landed in American at around eleven o'clock in the morning, after eating one of the nasty plane breakfasts.

((where do Riley's parents live? New York?))

(Ooc: Yeah, I guess)

I stretched and yawned as the delicate rays of sunshine punched through the plane's small but sturdy windows. The night had been long and horrible and I'm pretty sure that the pervert next to me had ended up with his head on my chest. I sighed when this memory came flooding in and wavered. I snapped and looked over at him, his toothless grin bright. I groaned and hid my face in my hands. A flight attendant handed me one of the nasty meals and I gulped it down. The seat belt light turned off and we all got off of the plane. Once in the air port I hulled Alfred and Arthur around, arguing with some people, their American accents sounding comfortable. Like I had gotten my security blanket back from a horribly long a dark night of not having it. I tugged them to a taxi and looked at the taxi driver, he gave a yellow tooth grin, and puffed a bit of smoke in my face "Where you goin' off ta guys?" He asked, his thick New Yorker accent flowing easily. I told him my address and did a double take of my own voice, I'd picked up a British accent, nothing too drastic, but my vowels and vocabulary had become crisper than the average American. The taxi driver smiled at all of us "You guys foreigners?" He asked in a gruff voice, taking a long drag. I shook my head and jutted a thump toward Arthur "He is, but me and the other blond here are just visiting family" I said smoothly, my New York accent completely gone, this upset a bit, though I don't know why.

Arthur seemed unimpressed by the city, simply staring boringly at Alfred's hand, that twidled with Arthur's thumb insted of his own. The Brit chuckled, pulling his hand away from Alfred's as they pulled onto Riley's street. The cab stopped infront of Riley's house, and they all got out, after paying the man. Arthur walked behind Riley, and then Alfred behind him.

I took a deep breath and turned to Arthur "I'm nervous..." I admitted grabbing his hand tightly. I stood at the door, the old wood scarred and worn. This was where I grew up, I frowned at all the memories, I couldn't knock on the door "L-Let's just go back to England, I changed my mind..." I said, feeling my newly found British accent sticking out like a sore thumb. I frowned at this and looked at Arthur.

Arthur squeezed her hand reassuringly and smiled.
"Nope, we're here now. Im right behind you~" He said, nudging her with his knee. Alfred nodded, and they both smiled simaltaineously.
