EDIT (11.10.2011):

If this shows up in your inbox sorry! I swore that I checked for spelling/minor grammar errors, but when Ire-read it online I saw many. Yup, I pretty much fixed them cause it bothered me that much...ugh. Sorry, once again.

Greetings to All!

Please be kind! This is actually my first Hetalia fanfic and my first fanfic in...7 years? Yes, it's been that long. I'm honestly not a writer, I really can't...Lol, and that's the reason why I stick to reading and review. (^_^) Pretty much a heads up, canons may be OoC, I know how they generally act but I can't exactly portray them in writing. Oh yes, this story is obviously not historically correct. (More AN at the end)

Background (aka: edited verison from Wikipedia):

"Welcome to the island of Oah'u Gentalmen, coming in on your right is Diamond Head."

Upon hearing the announcment, an eager passenger jumped from his seat and pressed his face against the opposite window. "Yea Dude, we're finally here!"

"America, sit down and buckel up, we're about the land." Canada sighed and tiredly slumped into his chair.

"Aww, come on Canada quite bein' a party pooper. We practically own this plane and can do whatever we want." Receiving no response from his brother, America gave a slight pout and did what he was told. "Man, I need a burger when we land."

When the plane finally came to a stop on the tarmac, the North Americans collected their belongings and headed towards their ride at the pick-up terminal. As they approached their destination they heard shuffling and raised voices.

"Your breasts belong to me, daze!"

"Im Yong Soo, quit it!" A loud slap and whimper soon followed.

"Aiyah! Don't be too rough on him Vietnam, he's still young, aru."

"China let her go, he'll never learn if you baby him all the time" Followed a male voice

Making their way around the corner, the twin countries were greeted by the site of South Korea laying on the floor holding his cheek, China restraining an angry Vietnam and Hong Kong sitting off to the side with their luggage minding his bussiness.

"Let me at 'em China. I'm sick of his foolishness."

"No way, aru. At least tolerate him for this week."

Breaking the exhausting tension, America greeted them. "Hey Dudes and Dudette!"

Heads turned and the fighting came to a halt. Giving Vietnam a quick warning, China released her and offered his free hand to the boisterous blonde,"America, you're finally here! Thanks for hosting this year's APEC conference, aru."

"Oh yeah, no prob, man." He gave a bright smile "How was the flight?"

"Long." China groaned and pointed at South Korea and Vietnam. "I had to keep those two away from eachother the whole time, aru. I thought the plane was going to crash at one point."

"That's rough dude, but thanks for coming."

Looking down at his watch, America gathered the attention of the remainder of the party and announced his plans.

"Okay people, we're waiting up on Russia, Japan and Taiwan. Once they get here we'll head towards the hotel. The rest of the gang arrive tomorrow."

With that said, the Asian countries decided to stow away their bags in the under compartment and boarded the bus.

20 minutes passed until Japan and Taiwan emerged from customs. Upon seeing America waiting leaning against the side of the bus, Japan bowed and apologized.

"遅くなってすみません*"

"您好*, America."

"Don't worry about it dude, we're still waiting for that Commie bastard to show up."America replied as he happily waved at Taiwan. "Here, let me help you guys with those." Before they could refuse, America slung their luggage, which included two extra large suitcases and two carry-ons, onto his shoulders and placed with the others in the under compartment.

"Haha, there we go!" Turning around he looked at the petite Asians and gestured towards the door. "Don't be shy, feel free to go inside, it's much cooler in there."

A bit wide eyed, the two countries nodded in agreement and got onto the bus.

After waiting another 10 minutes, the tall Russian finally arrived with his posessions in tow.

"привет*, commrade America" He greeted with his usual childish smile.

Straightening himself the American walked up to the lone European."It's about time Commie, come on before we leave you."

"Then blame my lateness on your silly Capitalist luggage carousel, da."

"Yeah, yeah, sure dude." Brushing off his remark, he took the largest bag and helped Russia square away his belongings and they too boarded the bus.

Standing at the front, America called for everyone's attention and gave another announcement. "Ok gang, since it's already 4PM, we'll call it a free day for everyone and check in at the hotel." Tapping the bus driver on the shoulder and giving a thumbs up , the vehical's gear was placed into drive and they made their way to town.

Just as Canada picked up his personal luggage, he saw the bus drive off without him. With his loudest voice, which in reality isn't much, he tried to call out to his fellow countries.

"You guys...wait for me!" He immediately dropped his things and started to chase after them to no avail.

Huffing and puffing, decided to make his way back to hisdropped bags, which he found was surrounded by TSA agents.

"Excuse me, what's going on here?" He address one of the agents.

"I'm sorry Sir, but could you please back away from here. There's a suspicious bag laying on the middle of the sidewalk that needs to be investigated."

Looking at the agent, then looking over their shoulder, he noticed that it was his unattended bags that were causing the commotion. Groaning to himself, he spent ten minutes explaining his sitiuation and another 10 minutes, trying to convince them that he did not have an "questionable objects" *ahem bombs* among his things.

"We apologize for the inconvinience sir, thank you." With that, they left the Canadian to himself.

Sitting to the side, he sighed and pulled out his cellphone and wallet. 'I wonder how much it would cost for a taxi?...wait, what's the number for it?' Making sure he had his bags with him, this time, he got up to ask a near by receptionist.

Luckily for him, half way there he heard a couple honks from behind. Turning around he saw America waving and hanging outside the tour bus's window. "Canada, there you are dude!"

Standing in disbelief, he watched as the bus pulled over with its doors wide open. "Well, aren't you comin' in?"

Without another word Canada made his way towards the bus and sat at an open seat. "Hey Mattie, sorry about that. I totally thought you were on board." said America as he sat down next to his brother.

Looking over to his twin and trying to give his meanest glare, all he said was, "You're a jerk."

Taking that as a sign of, 'I accept your apology, but I'm not gonna say it outloud', America gave a wide smile.

"Love ya too Bro."

Author's Note:

Ok, now that concludes the first chapter. I'm sorry that it was super short but I usually don't have the drive to write stories, so I figured that I tried to get it onto the page as fast as I can before I lose my train of thought.

But yeah, it's pretty bad isn't it? And for that I apologize. (T-T) Also, it's my first attempt to write something "funny" yeah, I usually stick to writing drama, angst, hurt-comfort, the serious stuff. So if my humor seems straight laced that's why. I swear though I really am funny in person. XD

Other than that, ya'll really don't have to review, having people just reading it is fine with me.
