Hey guys, CF-1998 (98) here. So here's the deal with the series now, "the story of Antonio and Nayare" is actually the 5th chapter of the first book. Why is that? Well, the Romano Flashbacks of the original RomaNdorra story "the fight for Romano's heart" are actually stories in themselves. It'd make no sense just to write them as flashbacks, so I thought of an idea. I hope you like it…

Chapter 1: "something different"
"I OBJECT!" Everyone looked to the back of the church in shock as Cata walked up to the altar…..
The series starts on a Sunday, but not just any ordinary Sunday. It was Easter Sunday, Christianity was allowed to be practiced for a few years now, Romano could remember it perfectly. He had taken my parents, Toni and Bella to one of the churches in southern Italy that day to celebrate. He always loved to go to church, whether it be in Spain or at my house when he would go to visit. This time he felt like something different was going to happen, something good. He ended up sitting behind a young girl, about the same age as him, and her mom. He had never seen them here out of the dozens of times that he had gone to that particular church, and he was wondering who she was. Anyway, when it was time to give the sign of peace, she turned around. She had greener, and more beautiful eyes than Spain. She had light tan skin, and dirty blonde hair almost the same colour as the Holy Roman Empire's. Her hair was shoulder length with a streak of purple, blue, pink, and green on both sides). She was wearing a blue shirt and red skirt with a white apron on top and a yellow ribbon under the collar of her shirt. Romano stared at her so much that it was starting to freak him out, eh. She gave him her hand and said "peace..."
"Peace…." He said in a soft voice, as he shook her hand. He didn't know my parents were looking at me, so when He sat down on my seat. Romano looked over at them and said "what-a are you looking at, eh?"
"De way you were totally flirting with that girl..." Toni said in his freakishly annoying Spanglish accent, He wasn't flirting with her... Just that he thought she was ok, but he never thought he eventually became friends with her and/or fall in love with her.
"Don't listen to him, Romano. I'm proud of you. You deserve to have a social life, you're only a small boy. You shouldn't be stuck in your room all day." Bella said, she wasn't really his mom. Romano just saw her as a mom because she took care of him. She is actually the maid of Spain's house, but Romano thought his dad was in love with her. "Oh yeah, eh. I-a see you flirting with mamma Bella all the time, eh…. Jerk bastard!" He stammered, by that time the priest start to talk again, so we stayed quiet. After the celebration was over, Romano and his family were going out of the church when out of the sudden he looked far into the crowd of people. He saw the same girl that was sitting in front of him. Romano had this gut feeling that he just had to meet her, like the proper way. Romano let go of his mom's hand, and tried to catch up to the girl. When he did finally get to her, Romano took her hand and he said in Italian "Ciao..." She turned around, and was a little scared at first. Romano said "don't-a be scared. I'm-a the same bambino you-a gave the sign of-a peace. My-a name is Lovino Vargas, South Italy/Romano. What's-a your name?"
"I'm Catarina de Castillet. I'm the principality of Andorra." She said, there was an awkward moment because Romano felt like he was bothering her. The moment of silence went on before she said "wait, your last name sounds Spanish... I think it's a cute name though, XD."
"Catarina... I-a think that's-a a beautiful name too. My-a last name is-a Spanish..." Romano stopped for a bit and thought of what to say. He had it all inside of him, Romano blurted out, in a frustrated voice "My-a name is-a Spanish because I'm-a jerk Spain's son... you-a probably heard him say that I-a was flirting with you, right? I've-a never seen you around here. Sorry if I-a scared you."
"Thanks, Lovi. It's okay if I call you that? I'm the daughter of the county of Urgell. Uh, actually she's like my mom, but she's actually my sister... Yeah, I heard that. I thought it was cute, but seriously though we weren't flirting. We're kids, what do we know about that stuff? It's okay, it's past now. I'm kind of isolated where I live because It's in the Pyrenees mountains, I barely go anywhere, other than to visit my family because well I don't have friends." She said, putting her head down in shame, I felt bad for Cata. Romano thought about it for a while, and come to think of it the only thing he had was that bastard he had for a sister (using fem! Italy), and she is literally in another world. One called "potato bastard mania". Romano put his hand on Cata's shoulder, reassuringly saying "Cata, you can-a hang out with me, I-a am a loner too. Hey-a, do you want-a me to show you around my-a homeland, we can-a talk more then, eh?"
This made Cata head perk up, and she said "you really mean it, Lovi? You'd do that for me?" Romano could tell Cata was happy now "only if my mom says it's ok." She left to find her mother, and she came back and she said "she said it was ok."
From that day, they haven't stopped being close acquaintances, and even started going to church together...
I know it's a short chapter, but this is how Romano met Cata. She talks more about this experience in the 3rd chapter, but she could never forget about it.
