"Hello Mr. Toris. How are you today?" the clerk at the counter asked.

"Fine. Fine. You?" I asked as I put the groceries on the counter to be scanned.

"I'm good. I see you seem to be in a hurry though. I'll get this done fast for you," she said as she scanned the last item and gave the bag to me. I paid her and left the store. I started to walk back to the house so that I could hurry up and make breakfast. When I got back, Ivan was awake and looked slightly grumpy.

"There you are," he mumbled and hugged me.

I wiggled my way out of his embrace and said, "You're awake now? I'll go make breakfast."

"That'd be great, da~" Ivan said and went to sit down at the table next to Raivis, who started to violently shake, or at least shake more than he already was.

I made a quick thing of toast and scrambled eggs and slid them onto a plate for Ivan. He smiled as I put the plate in front of him. I went back to the kitchen and made breakfast for myself. I sat myself down at the table and began to eat silently. After about ten minutes of awkward silence, Ivan said, "I'll be leaving for awhile. I have to go to America for awhile, da."

"How long is awhile?" I asked.

"A week or two," he replied and put his empty plate under my now empty plate to be taken back to the kitchen. I picked them up and started to wash them. Ivan walked into the kitchen right after me and said, "I'm leaving in a few hours."

"Alright then. Have fun," I mumbled as I concentrated on the dishes so that I didn't have to look at his intimidating violet eyes. I heard him leave the room and go back to his room.

A few hours passed and we said goodbye to Ivan. The moment the door shut, all three of us sighed.

"Ivan gone for a few weeks," I mumbled.

"That means no more being scared out of our minds for a few weeks," Eduard said.

"N-no more N-Natalia for a few weeks," Raivis stuttered. I flexed my fingers after he said this, remembering when she broke them. My crush on her ended soon after and turned into fear at some point.

"What a relief," I sighed. I soon realized that we were just standing there, staring at the door. I cleared my throat and left to my room. When I was back in there, I remembered the odd dream I had. I was about to think it over, when suddenly my cell phone started to beep. I picked it up and looked at caller I.D. Speak of the devil.

"Feliks?" I answered.

"Hey Toris~ It's been, like, forever since we've talked, hasn't it? We should totally, like, get together some time!" he responded in his cheerful valley girl accent.

"Well, I'm free for the next few weeks, so yeah, sure. How long has it been, anyway? Three years?" I said, making pleasant conversation.

"Like, I think it has! Anyway, so how about today? You can, like, come over, right?" he said.

I thought for a second, and then said, "Yeah, I think. I'll be over shortly. But I'll have to book a flight first."

"Alright, so I'll totally see you later? Alright?" Feliks said and hung up. What incredible timing he has. It's like he knew that Ivan had just left.

I pulled out my lap top from my drawer and booked a flight to Poland. It was very spur of the moment, I know, but I had the weird urge to see him. Was it because of that dream? I shook my head and packed my bags. That's absurd! As if a dream could come true! That's completely ridiculous! Or was it?

I went downstairs and noticed Eduard and Raivis eye my suitcase.

"Where are you going all of a sudden?" Eduard asked with a small frown.

"Feliks's house. He called a minute ago and asked me to visit. I haven't seen him in awhile, so I said yes," I said as I opened the door, "Oh, and if Ivan calls, tell him I'm sick or something."

I don't know why I was hiding the fact I was going to Feliks's from Ivan. I guess it was the dream creeping into my head again. I creased my temples as I walked up to my car.

It took about an hour to get to the airport, go through customs, and get on the plane. I was in Poland shortly after since I was in the European part of Russia, which was really close to Poland.

I walked out of the terminal and was immediately glomped on the spot. I dropped my bag and patted the little blond that was hugging me.

"It's been a long time Feliks," I said as he pulled away.

"Like, way too long!" he said, putting his hands on his hips. It was then that I noticed the little skirt and the off the shoulder sweater he was wearing. Still cross-dressing I see. I chuckled at how much he could still pull off being a girl.

"I'll, like totally take your bags," he said as he picked up my bag, "After all, you're, like, my honored guest."

"Honored guest?" I laughed. We both started to laugh for some reason and couldn't stop.

Derp, sorry about no author comments before XD As you can probably tell by now, I use the human names. Feliks- Poland Toris-Lithuania Ivan-Russia Eduard- Estonia Raivis-Latvia

Well, anyway, reviews are greatly appreciated!

And did anyone catch the obvious pun near the end of chapter 1 with Raivis? If no one gets it, I'll explain in Chapter 4 XD
