Ahoy there maties!
Welcome to my first multi-chapter fanfiction! It's loosely based on Little Red Riding Hood. ^-^
You'll be finding a lot of ships squeezed into this but the main one is definitely Fem!LovinoxAntonio(Fem!RomanoxSpain ). You can expect Fem!USxUK in abundance too. Those two are just adorable. And there is a lot of genderbending involved. The list is given at the end of the chapter.
Also, this my first Hetalia fic (so many firsties xP ) so any OOC-ness is apologized for. I hope you all like this~! Happy reading, folks! Fem!Lovino is so much fun to write, sigh.
DISCLAIMER: If only I owned Hetalia. If only. But nope. I don't. WHY DO YOU NEED TO RUB THAT IN MY FACE, HUH?

Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins

Once upon a time, in a house on the outskirts of the Dark Woods, lived two lovely-

Wait, scratch that. No, there was only one lovely lady, Feliciana Vargas. As for the other one….well, we can't say that about her.

This not-so-lovely lady, Lovina Vargas, will be our heroine.

Breaking the tradition of helpless damsels in distress, this feisty young female will battle a rather queer assortment of people including cat-loving innkeepers, tea-loving woodsmen, hyper female warriors, completely un-awesome guardsmen, tomato-loving wolves and the like. By doing so, Lovina will prove to all that, yes, women can kick ass too.

So, let's start from the beginning again, shall we?

One upon a time, a long time ago, in a small, albeit cozy, house on the outskirts of the Dark Woods, there lived a pair of twins, Feliciana and Lovina Vargas. They cultivated tomatoes on the gentle sloping fields and sold the produce at a profit in the market of the small town situated a little less than three hours away. They were fairly well off and all was going well.

But, as such stories go, it all changed on that one fateful day.

Lovina stood at the porch holding a basket covered with a white and red checkered cloth, a red hood covering her head. Ah, it was a sight to behold. Such pure innocent beauty!

Of course, this was until one heard the rather crude language coming out her delicate mouth.

'Why do I have to go? Why can't you go, dammit? Grandpa Roma likes you a lot fucking better anyway. That damn bastard.'

'But LoLo~!

The younger and a lot dimmer twin barreled out of the house and tackle-hugged her sister.

'Now don't say that! Grandpa Roma loves you so much, ve~!'

'Feli-can't-fucking-breathe-dammit and for God's sake stop calling me Lolo'

Feliciana Vargas let go of her sister reluctantly but continued to jabber on in her annoyingly cheerful voice.

'You know why I can't go, ve~! The woods are all dark and scary at night. I hate it. But Lolo is so fearless, ve! She can do anything.'

Lovina grumbled but her cheeks were tinged red at the praise.

'I don't know why the bastard went and settled down on the other side of the goddamn woods.'

'He said something about the women being prettier on the other side, ve!'

Lovina groaned, 'That fucking pervert. But I still don't see why either of us should cross that goddamn forest just to give him some goddamn pasta.'

'But Lolo~! It's been so long since he has eaten my pasta! I even used the best of the tomatoes for it, ve!'

Then Feli looked at her sister with the look. Her lower lip jutted out and she looked dangerously close to tears.

Well, shit.

'But it will take almost one week to reach the goddamn place.'

Still with the look.

'You'll be all alone.'

Stop it already.

Lovina heaved a sigh, 'All right, I'll go, I'll go, dammit.'

'Yay~! Oh, I love you, Lolo!' Feli squealed and proceeded to hug the daylights of Lovina-again.

'Yeah, yeah,'she muttered uncomfortably, extracting herself from her sister's surprisingly strong grip with difficulty.

Goddammit, she's strong.

'And stop calling me Lolo already!'

'Whatever you say Lolo!' Feli chimed, now jumping up and down for no apparent reason.

How the hell did I end up with a sister like her?

'I'll be off, then,'Lovina muttered unenthusiastically, 'Bye, Feli.'

Feliciana pushed her sister towards the woods, hopping from one foot to another.

Well, someone's eager.

Lovina sighed and started walking towards the woods.

'Take care, Lolo! Don't get eaten by the wolf everyone's been talking about! And you need not worry about me! Luddy will come over everyday to check on me, ve~!' Feli yelled cheerfully.

Wait, what?

Lovina turned on her heels and hollered, 'What was that about the potato bastard?'

But Feli had already ran inside.

So that's why she was so eager to send me off.

Lovina gaped at the shut door. Maybe her sisters had more brains than she had originally thought.

'Godammit, I'm gonna chop of that potato bastard's head the first thing I come back,'she muttered, fuming. Lovina turned back to the woods with a savage smile at the thought.

To ease the confusion of the dear readers, Potato Bastard referred to Ludwig Beilschmidt, the quiet, serious German boy who had shifted to their side of the woods and lived in the town and had taken a liking to Feliciana's odd behavior. He was anything but a bastard, but our heroine is quite strange, as you might have noticed by now so I beg you to bear with me.

Feli had said something about a wolf, Lovina thought as she continued her walk towards the woods, Well, I probably won't be seeing it. If I do, I can just ram my knife into its gut.

Lovina smiled. Well, it was a lovely day. She did not want to bother herself with that thought now. She added a spring in her step and ventured into the woods, unaware of the adventures to come.

And so, our heroine started her journey.

Well, there it is!
