Chapter 17: Winners or Losers.

It was America and England's turn to pick the game. Their choice would either help them win or loose big time. England suggested simple games like poker or if it was a sport, he said cricket because the other two wouldn't get it, which was a good idea but; America didn't know how to play it either, so that was out. Poker sounded good but he knew Russia played well and even Canada could win a few games. America then thought of an eating contest, but both Russia and England would loose out on that one. Depending on what they were eating, Canada could actually eat more then America, and it was his country so he would know the foods more. Finally, he settled on one, Basketball.

Sure him and Canada played against each other a lot when they hung out and Canada wasn't that bad, but he always beat the Canadian. America knew Russia wouldn't be up to that sport, which worked out for their team, but he also knew England couldn't play well. He did know the Brit was good at aiming, he could score the baskets if he was close enough. And so, it was a plan.

Canada and Russia agreed to the game, Russia not so sure if it was something he could win at, and Canada took them to a recreation center. The place was also empty, except for a few people, but the court was open to them. The four nations got changed into gym clothes, plain white t-shirts and shorts that went down to their knees, which Russia didn't like. Canada ended up having a shirt with a orange maple leaf picture on the front while America got one with a blue star on it. The two North Americans began to leave with England following behind when Canada noticed Russia wasn't coming. He let his brothers go out before him and went back to Russia.

"Hey you okay?" Canada asked. Russia looked towards him, he still had his scarf on.

"I don't want to take it off." He said with a tone. Canada didn't know what to say to that, he knew Russia loved that scarf, he learned that one the hard way; his wrist still aches.

"It might get dirty." Canada said. Russia stared at his scarf and nodded at Canada.

"Da. It could." He said. "Do you have a sweat shirt?"

Canada blinked. "Um yeah? Why?"

"I want to borrow it."

"It's mine so I dunno if it will fit you or not."

"You're about the same size as me... Thinish." Russia said. Canada signed and grabbed his sweat shirt off the beach then tossed it to the Russian.

"I'll meet you outside." Canada said and left. Russia nodded again. He stood there for a minute, not moving his hand from the scarf. He made sure no one was in the room before he grabbed the scarf with both hands and took it off. He grabbed onto his throat at first, not used to having it off, he didn't want anyone to see what was under it, the punishments from General Winter and his past. He quickly folded it and placed it on the bench and put on the sweat shirt to make sure his neck was covered. He then walked out to join the other three.

He walked out and saw England face flat on the floor with America laying almost on top of the Brit, Canada standing there in front of them with the ball looking at his two brothers. "What are they having sex already?" Russia said. America quickly got away from the Brit and England quickly got up and away from the American, both their faces red. Canada shook his head at the two as they got to their feet.

"S-Shut up Commie!" America yelled. Russia smirked, amused with the situation, he made the two feel embarrassed and that worked for him.

"Shall we began?" Canada asked.

"Rules." England said. America elbowed the Brit a little with a smile, saying "oh there's no need for rules" but he ended up explaining them anyway.
