Hello everyone! Here is my other story I'm working on. Yes, I am balancing two stories at once. It's not as hard as I thought it would be...

This is an AU about Belarus and Lithuania. In this story Lithuania is a musician who is trying to get noticed. Belarus is just a normal girl (for the most part) who lives a dull life. She's trying to find something to spice up her dull life now that she has completely given up on her long love for Ivan. What will happen to them once they meet? Read the story and find out! More characters will be included in later chapters.

Italics = Thoughts

Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia. Obviously... Everyone knows the drill :P

Alone, sits the bitter girl who spits at the word "happiness". Her name is Natalia Arlovskaya. She spends her days working and living alone. Each day is the same as the one before. Either she is typing up data or sitting at home. Natalia does not believe that happiness will ever poke its face in her dull life. Ever since Ivan rejected her, she has shut herself out from the world. Apparently constant stalking and obsessing is not very attractive. Well here she is, sitting by herself at a café and sipping at her freshly brewed coffee. She thought she should change up her usual routine and take a different road home from work. On her way, she stopped in for a little "pick-me-up" as she liked to call coffee.

Natalia sat at one of the tables outside of the café, not wanting to deal with any of the rowdy customers inside. For some odd reason, people refused to sit outside. It was a nice day after all, why not sit outside and attempt to enjoy it? Whatever their reasoning, she did not care, as long as no one was there to bother her. She looked up from her cup of coffee to watch the people walk by. It kept her semi entertained. Sometimes you could find the strangest people walking amongst a crowd.

Time passed slowly and as it inched forward her coffee dwindled away. Now Natalia sat alone with an empty cup of coffee in her hands. A bored expression was plastered on her face as she watched the ongoing crowd. Not a single interesting person has walked by. It seems like taking a different route home did nothing for her. She still felt miserable. A hardly coherent sigh escaped her lips as she stood up to throw away the empty cup. It was about high time she left to go home anyways. Right as she disposed of the cup she heard a faint tune in the distance. It sounded like an acoustic guitar. Her eyes scanned the street. Where was this sound coming from? Natalia looked past all the people and saw a man sitting at the edge of the other side of the street. He was strumming a guitar as if he was testing the sound. He had long brown hair tied back in a small ponytail. His jeans were torn up at the knees and he had a striped cardigan on with a plain t-shirt underneath. In front of the man sat an open guitar case. He must be playing for money… Natalia thought to herself. She contemplated on going over to him and having a listen, but time was wearing thin. Quickly, she checked her cell phone for the time. I suppose I can spare a few more minutes before heading back home.

Natalia crossed the street cautiously and made her way over to him. Now that she was closer she could tell he was around her age. The man was playing a soft tune and humming along. It was a peaceful song, like something you would listen to before going to sleep. She looked down at the guitar case. It was empty. She began to wonder how much money he makes by doing this and how often he does it. By the look of it, he didn't care how much money he received. The gentle smile across his face made it clear he didn't care. Natalia questioned how he has not noticed her standing there yet. He was too engulfed in his playing apparently. She then got an idea. Without haste, Natalia dug in her hand bag and found a few quarters. She threw them in the case and waited. The sound of clinking coins broke the man out of his music trance. He stopped playing and looked up to see who made the kind donation of change. His emerald eyes widened at the sight before him. The girl standing there was absolutely breath taking. She was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Her long silvery white hair glistened like the stars and her dark eyes were like the night sky. He cracked a nervous smile "Th-thank you miss!"

Natalia gave the man a slight nod as if to say "You're welcome." She looked away from him to check the time again. Crap, I really need to get home before it gets dark…

Her attention returned to the man. It would be rude of her not to say anything. "I like your guitar playing… it's nice." She said in a mono-tone voice. The man blushed at her words. It wasn't a big compliment, but coming from someone as pretty as her was like getting a message from God. With that said Natalia turned around and left. She had no time to stick around and listen to anymore music. This left the man heartbroken. He wanted to talk to her and to get her name. Without thinking, he jumped up and shouted "Hey! I'm Toris Lorinaitis! I'll be here tomorrow if you want to listen some more!" Natalia jumped at the sudden shout he made. She turned to look at the man who goes by Toris one last time before walking off. He seemed like a bubbling fool. What was he ignorant? Shouting like that... She breathed a soft sigh and turned back around. I suppose taking this road tomorrow won't do me any harm…

Toris watched her walk away until she was out of seeing distance. His heart was still pounding from their meeting. He crossed his fingers begging, hoping, praying she would stop by tomorrow.

I want to play her the song of my heart…

This chapter is short I know. All my prologues/introductions are going to be shorter... Aren't most first chapters to stories short?

Please R&R [Give me some advice~]

Things will start getting interesting from here on out, just FYI. :3

Until the next chapter, Bye-bye~
