Author's Note: I watched this: .com/watch?v=Ua3FE0rYdSw It gave me the idea to do this! Italy is now DTK. .com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=EBvpzMHQSxg&NR=1

Italy was such a nice and carefree guy. He hated fighting and loved art. So who knew that he was hiding a secret? A secret that Italy himself had only recently discovered through his art. No one noticed it still. Except for Germany, who knew Italy pretty well.

One day, Italy was outside, painting a cat sleeping on a wall with the sunset behind it. Unknowingly, Germany was watching him paint. He was so into his work that it seemed nothing could make him stop until he was finished. Who knew that Italy could concentrate?

The painting was beautiful. It was so real that it seemed that the two cats might wa- Wait. Germany looked at the painting, then at the scenery infront of him. There were two painted cats that looked as if Italy had just folded the painting in half after one side was done. There was really just one cat though. Maybe there were two cats earlier and one walked off? They looked just the same though! Italy was a strange guy. Maybe he thought that the cat would be lonely and added another one? They wouldn't look the same though and would be closer together.

Italy put his brush down when he finally finished. The sun was now hiding and the only source of lights were the streetlights and the moon and the stars. "Perfecto!" he exclaimed.

Germany tapped Italy on the shoulder, scaring the poor Italian. "Hey, Italy. Why did you add another cat in your painting? I thought that it would look good with that one cat."

Something happened. Italy's eyes opened up for a couple of seconds before he closed them again and started complaining. "I thought that pasta was my favorite thing! But then when I woke up this morning, I realized that symmetry was my favorite thing! But then I looked at myself and realized that I wasn't symmetrical! And then I flipped out because I became pasta garbage!"

What? Why would Italy, of all people, be so concerned about symmetry? He was an artist but he wasn't always like this before. So what if he didn't look symmetrical? He had that cute little curl that just made Italy Italy.

"The painting is so symmetrical and I look up there and there is no symmetry up there what-so-ever!"

"Italy! What is wrong with you? You have never acted like this before!"

Italy began crying. "I know!"
