drowing in ice cream and playing videogames, that was the only thing she did lately, except maybe for that time she met Tino. She didn't-

hear the knocking, she's too focused on killing that damn zombie in her videogame.

(( I was thinking on asking you for a thread like this! ))

only midly surprise that nobody answers the door. Knowing Allison, she was too caught up in whatever she was doing.

didn’t felt like waiting for her sister to finally notice someone’s knocking on her door,

so she turns the knob and hopes the door is unlocked. Fortunately for her, it is.

"I’ll have to tell her to lock her door, something bad could happen to her." she thinks.

"Hey, Allie! Where are you?" she says, in what she hopes is a voice loud enough for her to hear, as she slowly enters her sister’s home.

((Ahah! I’m such a mind reader! It was about time we have some sisterly interactions!))

heard a voice calling her, but... how did someone get into her house? (She didn't even know that the door was unlocked. She was naturally-

distracted, but lately she had been even more. Maybe it was because she didn't really care about things that could happen to her anymore.-

If anything could happen to her, she had a gun and her strenght, that was enough.) She could recognize that voice though, and that's why-

she paused her game and turned around. "Maddie? I'm here!" She tried hiding the ice cream bucket, because she didn't want her sister to-

notice the state she was in.

(( Yes <3 we need to have more sis time ;w; ))

went into the room where her sister’s voice came from. She looks around the room. Video games. Badly hidden ice cream buckets.

It was easy to tell something was wrong with her sister.

"Hey, I hope you don’t mind me coming in. Your door was unlocked so..." Maddie starts off. "I wanted to check on you.

You know, like sisters do." Allison would not outright tell her what was wrong, so she had to somehow get her to open up.

actually surprised by her visit, she didn't expect her at all. If she had, she would have tried looking better for her, so she wouldn't-

notice there was something wrong with her. "Ehh, no, it's okay! I was just playing some videogames, you know, Japan wanted me to test them!-

They're good!" Being cheerful was even harder than she thought it would be, but she tried making this the less awkward she could.-

"You know, you could try it if you want, I have another controller..."

"Is that so?" she asks, doubtful. "I guess I could try." she said, accepting her offer.

had never been into video games as much as Allison, but she still played a few times.

didn’t really like such violent games, on the other it might get her to open up.

sits beside her sister, eyeing her closely, trying to find anything that could help her understand what was going on.

nods and tries to appear she's okay. "You just have to shoot the zombies! Here, lemme change to co-op mode" Changing the settings, she-

glances at her sister. Trying to fool her was going to be hard. She liked being the center of attention, but not like this, not when she-

so... observed. Well, she could enjoy the company. She actually... was glad for that. "Ready, Maddie? It's on hard mode~"

takes the controller in her hands and tries to understand how it works. She turned her attention back to her sister when she spoke.

"Hard mode! Are you sure that is a good idea?" she didn’t have time to push the issue, the game was already begining.

The goal was simple. Killing zombies. She could do that. Right?

"It's okay, this game's not that hard~" Or so she thought. Maybe it was that she was focusing too much in it, it was one of the few things-

that could make her forget that, after all. "Just be careful with the big ones, they don't die so easily!" Surely games were fun, but-

when they were one of the few things that could make you forget everything else, they became addicting. She hoped it wasn't too obvious.

realises why Allison likes to game so much, they’re really addictive. She wasn’t doing that bad and to tell the truth she was having fun.

"We should do that more often." she says, her eyes leaving the screen for two seconds to take a look at her sister.

Unfortunately, it was enough time to get her killed by one of those big zombies. "Finally, I’m not as good as I thought!"

looked at Maddie and smiled. "Yes!" She enjoyed the company, and maybe it was something she needed at that moment. "I have other games-

that you could like, some like this one, and others that are different, but I think you could like them!" She didn't remember how long it-

-was since they spent some sister quality time. "You last longer than I thought you would though~"

"You would let me borrow some of your games?" she asks, knowing their are importants to her sister.

"I got lucky that’s all." she says regarding her score. "Now, how about we eat what’s left of that ice cream?" she says,

motioning the bucket of ice cream Allison tried to hide.

wouldn't usually say yes, but Maddie was her sister, and she was always careful, so why not? "Sure! There are so I finished recently in-

that box" She pointed at a random box in a corner of her room. Freezing, she glanced between the ice cream bucket and Madeline.-

Well, fuck. She noticed. "A-ah... w-well if you want!" Hopefully, she wouldn't try to ask any questions.

"So..." she says bringing the bucket between them, "How have you been? It’s been so long since we talked together, just the two of us."

It seemed like she was going to ask and there was nothing she could do about it. Except maybe try to appear happy and that, but she's not-

sure if Maddie would buy it. "T-that's true, isn't it?!" She bites her lip nervously. "But I've been fine... with the same problems as-

usual, but nothing that boss and me can't fix!"

nods to her sister reply. OF course, she would need to push a bit more for Allison to actually talk about what was really bothering her.

"I’m sure you can Allie, but I was asking about you personally. Not about America, but Allison. You don’t have any problem

with anything.... anyone?"

twitched at that question. Did she have a problem? Well, yes, she had a problem a big problem, actually, and it was something that she-

didn't really want to remember. Honestly, she just wanted to... forget that. Forget her, if it was possible. Yeah, being nations would-

make that impossible, but at least she wanted avoid her the most she could. "I-I'm fine, Maddie! I mean, besides what I told you,-

everything's fine, really!"

sighed. She really wasn’t going to tell her anything. "Alright, fine. But if anything happens you’ll tell me, okay? I care about you

I only want to help, you know."

wasn’t giving up on her sister, just waiting for her to be ready to tell her on her own.

"Now, how about we get some spoon to eat this ice cream!" she says, hoping it might cheer her up a little at least.

thought that she sort of wanted to tell her, but she didn't know if she was ready to actually talk about it. Maybe later... or another-

day. She knew she could trust her sister, after all. "Yeah..." She offered her a smile. "I'll tell you if something's wrong~" Looking at-

the ice cream bucket, she grinned. "Yes! I was waiting for you to say that!"

"Well then" she starts as she stands up, "we’re going to need two spoons!

Unless you already have two laying somewhere." she says, looking around the rather messy room.

(( Uuugh, I'm so sorry, I think plurk doesn't tell me there's an update after a few days ))

looks around the room, she's pretty sure she left another spoon somewhere... Aha! She takes the spoon that was laying on her bed and gives-

it to Maddie. "Here! It's always good to have, at least, two of everything!"
