"Fratello! Fratello, where are you? I need your help with my pasta! I ran out of tomatoes again...fratello! Fratello!" Veneziano called dramatically. He searched under the couch, in the basement, even the toilet! But Romano was nowhere to be found.

Romano leaped into the car and slammed the door shut. While buckling himself in, he snapped out,"Step on it!", and the car zoomed off.

Canada heaved out a sigh. "That went better than expected." He was the driver, and let's just say he was not very confident in his International driver's license.

"I made it out alive! Do you know how annoying that f*cker is after lunch? It's calling a herd of potato b*stards to come and do my fratello! It's terrifying!"

Lithuania smiled softly, before patting the steaming Italian's back encouragingly. "At least your crops are safe, right? Were you able to load them all in?"

Everyone held in a breath as Romano froze in his angry mutters.

"F*ck this sh*t. Turn the car around! I left my babies!" He screamed. Lithuania was able to cover his ears in time, but poor Canada had to keep both hands on the steering wheel. Quickly turning around and making it back to Italy's house, they noticed that something felt different.

Lithuania looked behind his seat and in the passenger's seat, before groaning. Worried, Canada spared a careful glance at the Lithuanian.

"What's the matter?"

"We forgot Kiku this time."

A series of foreign curses filled the car as the trio drove faster down the road. Romano banged his head against the window, constantly complaining about how he should be the one driving. Lithuania scolded Romano on his driving skills, stating that they certainly did not want to relive Japan's experiences.

When they arrived at the villa, Japan was being held captive against a conveniently placed tree. They all stumbled out of the car before running up to the tied-up nation.

"Kon'nichiwa. Jūbun'na anata wa jikan ga kakarimashita!"

Apologizing profusely, Canada brought out his pocket knife and began to slice off the taught ropes. Lithuania and Romano kept a sharp eye out for Veneziano, while placing all of the tomato plants into the trunk of the SUV.

"Ve! Where are you all going? Don't you all want to stay for pasta?"

The quartet all let out multiple screams, one very audible, one very toned down, and the other two barely heard. Canada worked faster with the ropes, while Japan wriggled his way out of them. With strength usually hidden, Canada flipped both Lithuania and Japan onto his shoulders before throwing them into the car. Romano snickered under his breath for a moment, then remembered that his slightly psychopathic brother was holding a kettle and ladle.

"Fratello..."

Romano screamed again, and sprinted into the car. Sadly, three of his cherry tomato plants were forgotten, which made him cry.

"Oh the agony!" He wailed. Lithuania tried to comfort his friend again, but it was to no avail. Japan, who was over the shock of being kidnapped, was calmly reading a manga.

"Hai, shieru wa, aroisu no subarashiku, yoi hirateuchi..." He mumbled. A small trail of red began to steadily work it's way down his cheek. Sighing, Canada held out a tissue box.

"Ah, thank you, Matthew-kun." Silence filled the van for a moment, before Lithuania asked a question that surprised everyone.

"W-who's driving?" Canada was sitting in the back seat with Lithuania and Romano, and was unable to reach the steering wheel. A lighthearted giggle set everyone on the edge of their seats. In unison, they all turned to face the driver's seat.

"Ve, ciao!"

Everyone jumped out of the windows, which led to another session of crying, courtesy of Romano. "Le mie piante pomodoro! PERCHE'LA MIA VITA CAZZO , SOLO PERCHE'!?"

Thank you for the reviews! I honestly did not expect the ideas to come so quickly! I will certainly use them, and I really liked the name for the quartet, Fourseen. Very fancy. :3
