Okay, so I know I only updated a few days ago, but I wanted to update something in honour of the Italy brothers' birthday. So here it is! And by the way, near the end of the story in the song bit (the bit in italics) underlined = Stelios and bold = Sadik and the two together is the two of them.

Disclaimer: Don't own, never have and never will.

Sadik slammed his tankard down on the tavern table. "Who does he think he is? The boy has tangled with the wrong man!"

Stelios slammed his own tankard down. "Darn right!"

"No one says no to Sadik!" He struck a tragic pose. "Dismissed. Rejected. Publicly humiliated! It's more than I can bear!"

Stelios took a tankard from a neighbouring table. "More beer?"

Sadik shoved it away, unending it all over Stelios. "What for? Nothing helps! I'm disgraced."

Stelios stood up, shocked. "Who, you? Never! Sadik, you've got to pull yourself together! You're scaring me, being so down in the dumps. Think about it, everyone here would kill to be you. Everyone loves you! Isn't that right, guys?" A loud chorus of assent filled the tavern.

"You inspire everyone and there's no question why. There's no one as quick or as slick as you! The manliest man ever is you!"

Sadik examined his nails, basking in the attention. "I'm quite the intimidating specimen, aren't, I?"

Jessie, Tara and Niamh started fawning over Sadik. "There's no one as burly or as brawny as you, Sadik. How do you do it?"

"Well..." Sadik pushed an intoxicated Éimear off a table and stood over them all. "It's quite simple actually. Every morning, when I was young, I ate four dozen eggs. Now, I eat five dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge."

Various cheers and toasts came from tables and groups scattered around the tavern.

The door was flung open and in fell Feliciano and Romulus, shouting for help.

"What happened to you two? You look like you've been dragged through a ditch backwards."

Feliciano looked close to tears. "It's fratello. He's got him locked in a dungeon!"

"Fair dues to him." Mumbled an old man into his tankard.

"Who? Who's got Lovino locked in a dungeon?" Asked Sadik.

"A beast!" chipped in Romulus, Feliciano nodding along furiously. "A huge, monstrous beast!"

There was a moment of silence before the entire tavern burst into raucous laughter.

"Was it a big beast?" laughed the old man.

"Huge!"

"With spooky yellow eyes?"

"Horrifying!"

"And sharp cruel fangs?" added Stelios mockingly.

"Yes! Yes! Ve~, will you help us?"

Sadik plopped himself back into his chair. "Sure, we'll 'help you out'." He gestured to two cronies to drag them out. The two of them pulled at the two Vargas's and threw them bodily from the room into the street outside.

Feliciano stood up and dusted himself off. "Ve~ Nonno, get up. We could ask someone else, maybe Luddy, and then..."

"No, Feli. No one will believe us. We should just give up."

"No!" shouted Feliciano, showing unexpected backbone. "Lovino didn't give up on us so why should we give up on him? And if you've given up, then... then I'll go back for him myself!" Feliciano strode away leaving his grandfather sitting stunned in the street.

Meanwhile, back in the tavern everyone was still laughing themselves stupid over the 'beast'.

"Who do you think is crazier, the boy or the old man?" Said one man to his friend.

"Does it matter? They're both good for a laugh."

Sadik froze as the mostly unused gears in his brain creaked into motion. "Hey Stelios, I've been thinking..."

Stelios shook his head. "That's dangerous!"

Sadik punched him. "I know that! But those two freaks are Lovino's family. And now I've got a plan. Listen. If I..." Sadik whispered in his ear. "Then we..."

"Oh, I get it now!"

Sadik smirked. "Then let's get started."

Stelios nodded. "No one plots like you, Sadik"

Sadik stood up. "Takes cheap shots like Sadik"

Stelios skipped around the table."Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Sadik"

"Yes, I'm endlessly, wildly resourceful"

"As down to the depths you descend"

"I won't even be mildly remorseful"

"Just as long as you get what you want in the end"

"Who has brains like Sadik?"


"Entertains like Sadik?"

"Who can make up these endless refrains like Sadik?
And his marriage we soon will be celebrating
My, what a guy that Sadik!"

They clanked their tankards together and began laughing menacingly.

A/n: So happy birthday to the Italy brothers, happy St Patrick's day and happy almost my 16th birthday to me :) So I hope you enjoyed it.

Ja!
