France opened his eyes to see a teenage girl with dark brown hair and a strand wrapped in a white ribbon. She had dark green eyes and wore a green off-the-shoulder dress with lace edges.
"Yes beautiful? What's wrong?"
She blushed and stammered, "C-Can you tell me which class Romano-nii-chan is in?"
"Romano? Italy's big brother?" France was surprised.
The girl's face brightened at his name. "Yes! Italy Romano-nii-chan!"
France asked, "He's your brother?"
She looked confused. "No, he's not my brother..."
France sighed. He was getting more and more confused. "He's in classroom E-2."
The brunette beamed. "Thank you so much!" Then she ran towards the school building, the heels of her Mary Janes clicking on the stone sidewalk.
France watched her for a while, got comfortable on the bench and went back to sleep.

Then he saw who it was.

Romano lifted his head, his eyes wide open in surprise.
"S-Sicily?"
