Chapter 16: Hockey

After a good night's sleep, America and England both ended up sleeping in the guest bed, the four nations and Kumajirou was taken to an ice hockey rink that Canada often went to for practice. They went in and it was surprisingly empty, maybe because it was early on a weekday, all the children and the adults were at school or working. It worked out well for them though, the whole rink to their selves, and that made Canada happy.

"We have a bit of a problem." Russia noticed while picking up the protective gear.

"Eh? What?" Canada asked. Russia looked at England and poked at him.

"Britain is too small." Russia said. England blinked.

"W-What?" He asked. "I'm not that small!"

"Compared to all of us you are. You are smaller than Canada and he's the youngest here." Russia said. Sad enough, England wasn't even up to the Canadian shoulder, and he was the smallest out of the other two nations. "You wouldn't fit in protective gear. And we would probably kill you on any impact."

England stood there not really knowing what to say. America laughed a bit. "Oh I'm sure we can make it fit~! Right Iggy?"

"I-I guess. I'm a little worried about the impact death though." England said.

"You'll be fine." America said and then whispered to the Brit. "Just stay clear of Russia." He winked at the Brit and he glared back.

"So I can't watch you guys kill each other?" Kumajirou pouted.

"What we doing?" Canada asked, he just wanted to play the game already.

"We're playing!" America laughed.

"Thanks America. Nice to know you want me dead." England said sarcastically.

"England you'll be fine. We're have a nice funeral for you." Canada giggled. England gave him a look. "We're just playing with you. It's gonna be fine." Canada passed the protective gear to the Brit. They went into the locker rooms there and got changed into the gear. They picked their hockey sticks, except for Canada because he bought his own, one with a lucky maple leaf sticker on the side. Russia turned toward Canada before they went out on the ice.

"Matvey. Will you be okay out there? You're quiet small too you know." Russia said, little did he know how good Canada was at hockey. "I mean, I don't understand why you picked it."

"Well I know you're good at it and it's my favorite sport." Canada smiled.

"It's your favorite sport?" Russia asked. "Why?"

"Cause." Canada said and got onto the ice with the other new nations. Russia looked toward Kumajirou on the side lines.

"Your owner is a bit insane da?" He said. Kumajirou smiled.

"You don't know Candi do you?" He said. "You're just lucky you're on his team and not opposing him." Russia raised an eyebrow at the bear and followed onto the ice.

At first, England fell. America ended up helping the Brit up, only to have him fall again and take the American down with him. Russia couldn't help but smile at the two nation's fall, Canada giggled about it too. Russia looked toward the Canadian's direction, he skates good, he thought.

Oh Russia, little do you know.

Canada got the puck and threw it onto the ice. Him and Russia went on one side as America and the shaky Brit went on the other. "If you get close to your own goal, you can go in and be the goalie. Okay? All other rules apply." Canada said. Russia and America nodded while England looked panicked. They put their sticks down over the puke, waiting for the bell, which they let Kumajirou handle. The bear jumped over to the bell, picked up the wooden dong with his teeth, and banged the bell.
