Hey everyone! Feeling very annoyed here because although everyone else has finished their exams, my lovely school has decided to 'reward' all the smarter people by saying: "Hey, you're good at maths, would you like to take this other slightly linked subject that you know nothing about and we will not teach you about (Statistics)? You have no choice btw, you are taking it, and the exam is 10 days after everyone else finishes! YAY!" So on the last day of school there were about 8 people just there when everyone else is celebrating silently crying and going: "1 more exam left, guys!" So yeah. FML.

To all the people who actually decided to continue reading this after my excuse for a first chapter, thank you so much! ;;~;; *kowtows* Sadly, this isn't much better... but I promise it will get better! I pinky swear! *nods* On with the fic-!

Germany: Aren't you forgetting something?

Me: Haaaaa... *mushroom sigh* Fine... I don't own Hetalia... *goes and cries in corner*


Travel.

2...1...made it! I'm sure Austria will help us. For now, we need to get out of range.

Well, Austria was almost no help at all. He says he can give us supplies and travel with us, but past that, he can't do anything. Curse Austrians! Curse the Swiss! And, above all, curse Italy for getting me into this mess in the first place! Well, if that's the best we're going to get, I won't refuse it.

"Well, Germany?" Austria's voice cuts into my thoughts. Italy sits beside him on a chaise longue. I sigh inwardly.

"Ja, thank you for your help."

"I am honoured to be allowed to assist you." Looking at him, I search his face for any signs of sarcasm. There are none, but in his eyes when he looks at me, I see an emotion that I cannot place, but which disturbs me deeply. It is very strange.

The next day, we set off. Austria tells me that Switzerland is still looking for us and that Prussia and Romano have joined him. Brotherly 'concern', or just after more land? Knowing them, either could be true. He says that Hungary is prepared to let us through without telling Switzerland as a favour to him. Obviously, I thank him greatly. He was about to tell me something else, when Italy called me over to see something; a bird or some flowers. I glanced at Austria, and he briefly wore the kind of expression that I would expect to see on Britain or Russia when they are cursing. He was looking at Italy, but as soon as he saw me looking at him, his expression changed to boredom. Seriously, what is with him? I don't understand!

Italy's P.O.V.

Ve~! The Austrian countryside is so beautiful! Amazing scenery, so many flowers and animals, nice food and music! The only thing that's wrong is that Mr. Austria keeps looking at me weirdly. He's scaring me! What have I done wrong?...Strange...Austria's acting kind of weird around Germany. You don't think...no, otherwise he wouldn't have married Miss Hungary. Unless he's changed...dramatically? Oh! Pretty flowers! Ve~!

Germany's P.O.V.

Well, we've been travelling through Austria for a few days now. The atmosphere between Austria and Italy has been getting worse and worse. Whenever Italy talks to me, Austria gets that face on and whenever he sees me looking at him, he just acts disinterested. Am I the only sane one here?
