I had a plot bunny that I wanted to post. :) I hope everyone enjoys it. Please leave a review. I would love to hear some feedback.

Switzerland watches a distressed Lichtenstein in his office crying in her seat. Switzerland had done his best to comfort, but alas, he failed.

Liechtenstein's house was destroyed by a flood. Switzerland, being the caring big brother he is, offered Liechtenstein to stay at his house until her house is repaired.

Unfortunately, they're both tight on money. The Swiss, if he could, would have offered money in a heartbeat to repair her house.

Switzerland is in a dilemma on how to get the funds. He wants Liechtenstein to be happy, so he'll do whatever it takes to do it. He needs a quick way to make some cash. But how?

Switzerland faces his window and lets out a frustrated sigh. Suddenly, he spots Italy walking by while eating a candy bar. Italy tosses the wrapper to the ground in a carefree manner.

Switzerland bristles with anger. "How dare he trespass and litter on my property." He takes out his gun, ready to scare off Italian, but stops. He stares at the wrapper Italy dropped, and an evil grin crosses his face.

He knows just how he's going to raise the money. And Italy is going to help whether he wants to or not.

Switzerland takes out a different gun from his desk. He turns to the small country and says, "I'll be right back, I need to do something important." Liechtenstein sniffles and nods she heard him.

Switzerland exits his office and prowls through the hallways looking for a window with a good view on Italy. When he finds a good window, he opens it and steadies his gun on his target. The unaware Italian sniffs a flower and sighs in happiness.

The Swiss shots and it hits his target. Italy falls to the ground, paralyzed. Switzerland leaps out of the window, running towards the fallen body. It's a good thing he keeps a blow dart gun handy.

Switzerland grabs Italy by the collar. Italy, unable to move, screams, "Please don't shoot me! I have relatives in your country!"

Switzerland shakes him hard. "Hand over all of your country's trash, now."

Italy's tears stop falling. He tilts his head in confusion. "Ve, don't you mean cash?" Switzerland sets Italy on the ground and points the blow dart gun to the Italian's head. "Do I have to repeat myself? Hand over all your trash. Now."

Romano is in a foul mood. His own brother ditched him for the potato bastard, his tomatoes taste like crap, and Spain called him Roma.

Romano's cell phone rings and sees Italy on the caller I.D. "What does he want now?" He answers the phone with an angry, "What do you want."

"F-Fratello, I need y-your half of o-our country's t-trash."

"What kind of stupido request is that? What do you even need the trash for?"

"Switzerland wants our t-trash. Please, I need it! If I don't give it to him right now, he'll shoot me and hunt you down!"

"…."

"Romano, are you still there?"

"I'll get all the trash I can get."

Switzerland smirks in triumph. His country's trash, combined with Italy's, will bring in the money.

Switzerland points to his humongous trash. "Here's the trash, just like I said Sweden."

Sweden remains silent. He hands Switzerland a suitcase full of money. Sweden stares intently at the trash pile. "…This will help my country's energy plants….."

Switzerland counts the money in the suitcase. It's enough money to rebuild Liechtenstein's house. "Pleasure doing business with you."

Spain smiles. He couldn't wait to see his little tomato~

He notices that the door to Romano's house is left open. He finds that a little strange. He enters the house and sees the Italians cowering and hugging each other on the floor.

Spain becomes worried and gets on his knees. "What happened?"

Italy whimpers, "We were robbed."

An alarmed Spain rapidly looks around the house, expecting toppled objects and ruined furniture. It appears it's not a robbery gone bad. The Italian brothers don't have to replace anything in the room.

"What did they steal?"

Romano and Italy say, at the same time, "Our trash."

Spain stares at them, bewildered. "One man's trash is another man's treasure? I think this robber took it too literally."

Frugal money scheme: Success.

The one time Switzerland doesn't chase Italy off his property is when he wants his trash. XD

In Sweden, the Swedes use their trash for energy in their energy plants. Currently, they need all the trash they can get, so they turn to other countries and buy their trash. :D
