The author would like to apologize for taking so long to update. Inspiration comes and goes and this one took a long time to write. Editing is a bit iffy because I did it on my own. I was originally going make this four part but because this chapter was so long I've decided to make this in five parts which is still subject to change depending how long it'll take.

Once again, I do not own Hetalia nor do I own Bollywood which owns the movie this is based off of.


Part 2

Matthias watched nervously as the San Francisco 49ers lost their game against the Oakland Raiders.

If they lost he wouldn't be able to go on this trip.

He had been the idiot who made a bet with his older brother that if the 49ers lost, Berwald wouldn't have to pay for the trip.

Matthias bit his lip with frustration when suddenly…

"Boo!"

Matthias jumped before turning to glare at Julia in her full albino glory.

She grinned at his disgruntled look while he tried to calm his heart from the scare.

"God Julchen, must you do that. It totally freaked me out and I can't take any more excitement."

"It's just revenge for the fact that you forgot to drive me to the bus station like you promised. I had to get Luddy to drive me and he was a total stick in the mud about it."

"Whatever. I don't think I'm going on this trip anyways."

"What are you talking about Matthias?"

Matthias and Julia and turned to look at Al who had come up behind them.

Matthias sighed,

"I made a bet with Berwald that if the 49ers lost he didn't have to pay for this trip and knowing him, he probably won't. He's saving up money so he can propose to the love of his life."

Julia and Al grimaced at the mention of love before Al's face became thoughtful.

"I'll pay for you this time and you pay me back afterwards. I need something to do with my savings as it is."

"I can't do that. It's unawesome to leech off a friend like that and goes against our awesome code."

Julia was nodding along with Matthias while Al rolled his eyes.

"I'm not really going to do anything with the money as it is and money exists to be spent. I think it's awesome to help an equally awesome friend go on an awesome adventure."

Matthias still seemed unsure and looked at Julia for help but she just shrugged as she ran her hands through her shoulder length hair in a nervous manner. She really hoped Matthias agreed but it was no guarantees especially since his 'manly' pride may get in the way.

Matthias ruffled his spiky blond hair before he sighed,

"Fine but I'll pay you back as soon as we move in together."

"Yeah sure, now let's go."


"Hello. My name is Jett and I will be your guide on this trip. Now if you haven't already read the itinerary; here is our plan for the next few weeks.

We'll start by taking the bus to Inyo National Forest, which is where this trek will start. We'll hike and camp in the forest for about three days there before getting back on the bus but before all that we'll spend a night in a hotel that's been booked already and start in the morning.

We'll drive to Death Valley and spend a day there though most of it will be indoors because we don't want anyone to die out there.

Afterwards, we've decided to be nice and let you spend two days in Las Vegas where I recommend you do laundry and pick up any extra supplies you might need.

We'll then spend about a week at the Grand Canyon. You guys will have a bit more freedom there but the only time you'll be allowed to go down into the Canyon, it will be with a guide.

Afterwards we'll stop in Santa Fe to visit a few sites but I'll let you all try to guess what they are. This will be another chance to take care of business.

Next will be us climbing to the top of Pike's Peak then we'll have our surprise spot which I'll tell you about in Santa Fe so you can get ready for it.

The last step will be to get to Denver and take a flight back home. All in all, just follow the rules and everything will be great."


Sakura rushed to the bus station in hopes that she wasn't too late. It was nerve wracking to say the least.

In fact, Sakura was so focused on her anxiety that she didn't notice the person in front of her. Thankfully, just before she bumped into him, he caught her.

Sakura looked up to see deep blue eyes looking down at her in amusement.

Heat crept up her face as she straightened herself out. She definitely recognized him even if she hadn't seen him since high school.

The man in front of her looked at her curiously,

"Hey don't I know you from somewhere?"

Sakura beamed but her smile fell when he started naming other people he had met.

"Sakura Honda, Hetalia High School. We were in the same home room for four years. And you're Alfred Jones."

Alfred's face lit up and he exclaimed,

"Weirdo Sakura who always had her nose in a book. Oh and just call me Al"

Sakura just nodded even though she felt a bit like crying. It was sad that all people remembered of her was that she was an otaku. She still was one but she wasn't that much of a recluse was she?

At that moment a brunet with bright green eyes with a smile on his face walked up to them. His smile was a subdued and for a good reason.

"Sakura right. I'm Jett, the guide. I want to apologize. I'm not sure if you'll be able to go on this trip because there aren't enough hotel rooms because your reservation so last minute."

Sakura was about to beg saying she would even sleep on the floor just to go on this trip when Al decided to remind Jett and Sakura of his presence.

"She can just join my group. She can share a bed with Julchen. We have room for one more since four's the max."

Sakura was shocked that he would do this for her but if it meant she could go on this trip then she had no intention to question her good fortune even if four was an unlucky number.


Julia stared at Sakura from her seat next to her.

"Are you sure you're not stalking me?"

Sakura blushed as she shook her head furiously in an attempt to deny Julia's accusation of being a stalker.

Julia laughed at Sakura's reaction,

"That's the funniest thing I've seen all day. Your reaction is even funnier than what I did to my brother in the morning. Anyways, I was just joking so no need to freak out like that."

Sakura's blush deepened as she mumbled,

"I'm not used to this. I've always been like a second mother to my siblings so I've never really been teased."

Al, Matthias, Julia looked a bit shocked but didn't question her further. After all they all understood what it was like to have complicated family matters.

Al liked his stepfather well enough but at the same time he was still slightly bitter that the man had taken his mother's place in his father's life.

Matthias was lucky that his half-brother Berwald still cared about him even after their father had cheated on his wife with Matthias's mother.

Julia had lost her parents at a young age and the only family she had left was her younger brother and their grandfather who raised the two Germans.

Sakura's situation was that her mother had been widowed once by Sakura's father, divorced by Yong Soo's father, and had never married either Leon's or Mei's father.

As a single mother, she had done her best for her children but that usually meant that she was too busy running her multiple businesses. As the eldest, it was left to Sakura to watch over them. Especially when they were younger and their mother could not afford a babysitter.


Let's set the scene for late Friday night with a group of four people sitting in the lounge of their hotel. These four people were Julia Belischmidt, Matthias Kohler, Alfred F. Jones, and Sakura Honda.

Julia, Matthias, and Alfred were playing a card game while Sakura was studying one of the medical textbooks she had brought along.

"Excuse me but do one of you happen to have a knife?"

They all looked up at the brunette bombshell at the door of lounge who held up an apple in her perfectly manicured hand.

"I'll go get you one!"

Matthias jumped up and would have gone and gotten one if it wasn't for the fact that Julia had dragged him right back down before he could get anywhere.

He hissed at her,

"What was that for?"

"I know your type and while the body is totally your type, her personality really isn't. I know her type of girls. She's basically a girl version of Al's dad and you like ice queens."

This made Matthias stop and stare,

"Since when do you know my type?"

"I've been your friend since we were in Kindergarten. I think I should know your type, and Al's for that matter, by now."

While Matthias and Julia were having their whispered conversation, Al walked up to the girl.

She looked at him and pouted,

"I should have brought bananas instead."

"No need to worry about that. I have one for you right here."

Al, being the suave person he is, put his hand behind her ear and when his hand was in front of her face, he had a small pocket knife in his hand. (His father would be so proud of him.)

"Thank you so much. I really needed this. I can't stand eating apples unless they're in pieces."

Just as she reached up, Al moved the knife out of her reach. (The fact that he had a decent four inches on her had nothing to do with it.)

He smiled at her, "I'll give it to you after you give me your name. Also you're free to join us after you're done with my knife."

Her violet eyes widened for a moment before her smile turned flirtatious.

"Marianne and my friends and I would love to join you. Let me just go get them."

She turned around and left the room while Al watched her go. Julia and Matthias just rolled their eyes used to their friend's way while Sakura felt awkward and a little jealous of Marianne.


Marianne brought back her friends Isabella and Gilbert. Sakura was amused by their antics until Al suggested a game.

"You know what game we should play?"

The general response to that was,

"What?"

"Never Have I Ever."

Isabella and Gilbert seemed confused while Julia and Matthias groaned. Marianne however bounced up and down with excitement,

"I love Never Have I Ever. Oh we must play it. It'll be such fun."

Julia and Matthias exchanged looks before Matthias sighed,

"I'll go get the alcohol and cups. Julchen, you might as well explain how we play this game."

"Right, it's pretty simple. Whoever's turn it is says something they've never done. Everyone who has done it will have to drink out of their cups. The person who has anything left in their cup by the time everyone else is done wins and dies of embarrassment for being so sheltered."

Just as Julia finished Matthias re-entered the room with a bottle of wine and a stack of glasses. He also had a juice box in one hand.

He handed the juice box to Sakura.

"Here. You probably have never had alcohol so I got you something else to use."

'Aiyah, all these westerners have no idea how much sake I drink.'

Sakura was horrified by the thought because it showed just how much like her mother she was becoming.

Al misread the look,

"Don't worry. It'll be fun."

This caused Sakura to realize her usual blank face had slipped and that was never a good sign. After all, Sakura tried to never let it show how she felt because it meant that her younger brothers and sister might worry about her.

She calmed herself down,

"I'll agree to play this game but I am not entirely sure I really want to play for the entire game."

Marianne then proclaimed,

"I'll go first. Never have I ever been kicked out of anywhere."

Al, Julia, Matthias, and Gilbert all took a drink.

Julia shrugged,

"I beat up someone who groped me in a mall."

"We helped."

That easily explained Al, Julia, and Matthias so everyone turned to look at Gilbert.

"Bar fight and let's leave it at that."

Isabella then offered to go next,

"Never have I ever been caught sneaking out of my house."

At that everyone but Sakura and Isabella took a drink.

Sakura was really starting to feel uncomfortable but she was too afraid to say so because it seemed rude.

As the game continued, Sakura felt could feel shame at how little she had done. It showed her just how introverted she was and it scared her.

And then her turn came. She froze before giving her hostess smile (which she had perfected for her mother).

"I'm sorry. I don't think I can play this game anymore. Please forgive me."

She got up and practically ran out of the room. Al who had left to go get more drinks caught her as she tripped.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Sakura looked up into his blue eyes and for a moment she was tempted to let him know everything about how she was feeling. However she reminded herself that Al didn't care and probably never would.

She shook her head,

"Nothing's wrong. I just don't feel all that well so I'm going to go to the room and sleep."

He looked at her with worry but realized that she wouldn't answer his questions so he let her go.

That night, for the first time in a very long time, she cried herself to sleep.

End Part 2


Sakura - Nyo Japan

Alfred - America

Julia Belischmidt - Nyo Prussia

Matthias Kohler - Denmark

Marianne - Nyo France

Isabella - Nyo Spain

Gilbert - Prussia

I would like to say that I do love France in all his forms but I felt Nyo France would be the best person to use as our complication. For people who've seen the movie, you may figure out who she's supposed to be. She'll show up again a few times but end game is definitely Ameripan.
