I totally stole this from a book that I want to read. Just warning you. Everyone is around 17. Russia is one year older than Latvia. That's all you really need to know. If you can guess why Finland is part of the band, I'll give you a virtual cookie. Every chapter will be about this length. Maybe shorter. Depends. Wow, I suck at coming up with band names.

Raivis blinked sleepily. He trying to find his cousin's van, but his directions were totally whack. His cousin had invited him to Battle of the Bands, a festival where bands from all the country competed for America's Top Band. All types of bands came, from Gospel to Heavy Metal. Raivis' cousin, Toris, was in a band called My Heart Beats Softly. If you hadn't guessed from the name, it was a soul band. Raivis didn't really like soul music, he found it too depressing, but he wanted to support Toris. Along with Toris was Eduard and Tino. Toris and Eduard were brothers, and Tino was Eduard's friend from middle school. Raivis liked all of them, but he had always been interested in different things, so he wasn't really very close to all of them. Still, he wanted to support them. But first, Raivis had to find them. Raivis walked up to the nearest person. "Excuse me sir, do you know where the van for My Heart Beats Softly is?" Raivis asked softly. The guy grinned. "Finally! They've been looking all over for you!" Raivis blinked. "Really?" The guy grabbed his arm. "Of course! Follow me!" Raivis felt himself being dragged by the guy. He sure was in a hurry. "Coming!"

Raivis bent over, gasping for breath. The guy sure was fast. "Was it really necessary to run the entire way here?" The guy nodded solemnly. "Duh! Anyway, this is where I leave you. Good luck." The guy winked at him and left. Latvia frowned. Why did he need good luck? Whatever. He couldn't wait to see his cousins. He had no brothers or sisters, so he was often lonely. He had always wanted siblings, but it just didn't happen. At school, he didn't have many friends because he had a big mouth. Raivis always said what was on his mind, without thinking about the consequences. Because of this, he was pretty much a loner. Seeing his cousins was always a treat. Raivis smiled and walked through the door. "Guys, I'm here!" He was met with silence. Raivis looked around, confused. He shrugged, they must have left to look for him. He spotted the couch. "Yay! I can finally sleep!" he cheered. Raivis ran off to the sofa crashed into into it, falling asleep immediately.

Raivis heard a Russian accent talking with a Japanese accent. He frowned. Where was Toris? Raivis lay very still. Maybe someone was robbing the van! He pretended like he was still asleep. "Perhaps he is dead, Da?" "I hope not, aru." "Si, that would be a terrible lawsuit." "You tomato bastard! Get the hell away from me!" Latvia shivered. It sounded like there was four guys. "He is awake, Da?" Raivis opened his eyes to see the Russian looking down at him. "AAH! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Raivis jumped on the back of the sofa, trying to get away from the Russian. "Why would we want to kill you? You haven't done anything to annoy you yet, Da?" Latvia shuddered. Why was he smiling? The Russian was so creepy. "GET AWAY! WHY ARE YOU SO CREEPY?!" The Japanese person sighed. "We wish you no harm, aru." "Si, it would a terrible lawsuit if we killed you." Latvia screamed. Again. "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT?! DO YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR LIFE?!" The guy who kept calling everyone bastard burst into laughter. "You wimpy bastard! Spain wouldn't hurt a fly!" "AND YOU! WHAT IS WITH YOU CALLING EVERYONE BASTARD? GET A DICTIONARY!" The creepy Russian guy started to laugh softly. (Creepily of course.) "The little one has spirit, Da?" Raivis was getting more unnerved by the second. Why weren't they scared that he had caught them? "LEAVE!" "Why would we leave, aru? This is our trailer after all. Raivis was so startled that he fell of the couch. "N-no it's not, it's my cousin's trailer!" The rude one sighed. "No it's not, it's ours. Didn't you see our junk?" Latvia looked around. He had been so tired when he first came, he hadn't really payed attention to his surroundings. "Uh, oops?"

The Spaniard stepped forward. "We are the band Killing You Loudly. I am lead, Ivan is lead guitar, Romano is base, and Yao is drums." Latvia face reddened. "I am sorry. I meant to find My Heart Beats Softly's trailer." Ivan laughed. "Does this look like a soul trailer to you?" Latvia felt his face turn even darker. He looked around again. "Again, I apologize. I did not see the huge mess this trailer was. My cousins would never be this lazy." Romano snarled. "Who are you calling lazy, bastard!" Raivis face palmed. "I didn't mean it that way!" KOLKOLKOLKOLKOL... "You have a big mouth, Da?" Raivis shrank away from Ivan. "Y-you are really scary." Ivan smiled. "You speak what's on your mind. There is nothing wrong with that." Raivis' eyes widened. His smile… might possibly be the cutest thing he had ever seen. "Unless you say anything about me. In that case, I will have to kill you." Raivis tore his gaze away from Ivan. Never mind. "Anyway, bastard, you should go home." Antonio winked. "Si, we wouldn't want to ruin you." Raivis frowned. Why would they ruin him? "I don't see how you would do anything to me. You seem fairly weak." Well, except for Ivan, he added mentally. "Did he really say that, aru?!" "You bastard! You couldn't last a week here!" Raivis giggled. Was Romano serious? "Are you serious?" Romano lunged at Raivis. "I'm going to kill him!" Raivis' eyes widened. He hadn't meant to anger Romano. He put his hands up. "I-I didn't mean it like that!" Ivan smiled. "You really don't know when to stop talking, do you?" "No," Raivis answered truthfully. "Well, you have agreed to our deal. I suggest you learn to." Raivis' eyes widened. What?
