"Hey there, handsome - fancy seeing you here~"

America turned on his heel and faced the man who had called to him. He blushed, wide-eyed and rubbed his neck, looking at the ground.

"Hey, that's not fair," America fake frowned as the other man approached him. "I thought I was the flirty one..."

The country rolled his eyes with a soft smile, grabbing America's hand with his scarlet one.

"Which movie did you choose?"

"Oh, I thought you might wanna see Joker with me...?"

Russia chuckled as he approached the couple in the colourful lobby of the cinema, "geez, Meri. I thought we were gonna see that together."

America swiveled around to Russia and blushed hard, suddenly hyper-aware of the hand in his.

"Shit - sorry Rus, um -"

"Hey, hey, don't worry about it," Russia reassured, holding up his hand to stop America from continuing with a sympathetic smile. "I'm just here to watch Zombieland 2."

America gasped, "You mean Zombieland: Double Tap?!"

"Ah, yes, the one you've been dying to see," Russia hummed.

America glared at him and Vietnam laughed heartily, squeezing America's hand.

"Come now, hun. Don't worry, we can watch it together if you like!"

"Yeah, and then we'll have seen Joker and Zombieland: Double Tap and you'll be sad," America mocked in a friendly way, poking out his tongue at Russia.

Russia just shook his head and rolled his eyes, "Right, right sure. You two have fun."

"Buh-bye, Russia!" Vietnam called after him with a big happy wave.

Russia waved politely in return and strolled over to the cashier so that he could get some popcorn and other snacks. America and Vietnam decided to head into their cinema and sit through the ads until the movie started.

"Psst!"

Russia ignored the sound and paid the cashier, collecting his snacks.

"Pssst! Russia!!"

Russia twisted around to the direction of the noise, one eyebrow raised.

Hiding in one of the movie promotional head cut out things for Dora and the Lost City of Gold were Japan, Australia and South Korea.

"Well hello there Dora, Boots and Swiper," Russia snorted, approaching the trio. They all shushed him in unison and Australia grabbed him by the shirt, pulling him behind the display to their little hide out.

"Что за черт-" (Russian: What the hell-)

The three shushed him altogether again.

"Mate, you need to be quiet," Australia warned.

"Yeah, we're on an extremely important mission," Japan hissed, her tail lashing as she looked through the head hole of Swiper for any witnesses.

"What mission - what are you talking about??"

"America is on a date right now, right?" South asked him.

"Um, I guess?"

"And how do you feel about that?" Australia pressed, biting the nail of her thumb.
