Oh my gosh… It's been over a month, I feel so bad. New chapter! Sorry to keep you waiting! OTL
It's longer than usual to make up for the time!
Sweet Magic
"So we meet again, early morning." The Korean girl leaned back in her seat, tipping the chair onto its hind legs.
Once again, the girls were stuck in another meeting with the nations. Maki was starting to wonder when they were allowed to just stay at home or something of that sort while Jackie was miraculously getting used to getting up early in the morning.
Ludwig seated himself across from them and sorted his meeting notes. "It will benefit your life, Jacklin."
A slam echoed through the partially empty room as a response. "Who told you that you could use my full name?!" The mention teen growled at him.
"Calm down," her friend murmured through her straw, "it's Ludwig; what did you expect?"
Jackie crossed her arms and pouted with a huff. She glanced at the younger girl. "Not even my mom calls me 'Jacklin' anymore."
Maki shrugged. It was true. "Speaking of mom…" the little girl paused, "when do you think we can get back home?" She titled her head, parting her bangs to the side a little, revealing eyes that hinted that something was missing.
"I don't know." Jackie shrugged. "Why? You miss them?" She knew that Maki was an only child but her parents were often gone for work, only been able to see them early in the mornings or on Sundays. Idea of homesickness didn't really cross the Korean's mind. She was enjoying herself in a world that she always dreamed of entering.
"Maybe…" The Japanese girl flicked at the corner of the paper she brought with her to sketch on. For a while she's been thinking about how her parents were doing. For a while she's been thinking about sleeping in her bed that Jackie claimed to be the 'most comfortable bed' she's ever laid on. For a while she's been thinking about the serene quietness that ran through her apartment house where the only loud noises were from her music or multiple clocks ticking in her room.
Her friend looked at her concernedly. "You aren't worried?"
Maki rested her chin on her hand. "Well, yeah, of course I am." She moved her gaze up to Jackie. "What if the other side's worried sick because we randomly disappeared? But does the time flow at the same pace?" Her worried brown eyes returned to the table. "I don't know…"
"…I wouldn't know." Jackie leaned back into the chair again. "Alfred's the one that sent us here."
Her friend just nodded and absentmindedly doodled on her paper. She was staring blankly into the sheet and the pen in her hand created abstract shaped that pictured of nothing as far as Jackie could tell. The older girl sat there in silence, not sure what to say next to possibly cheer her up.
Suddenly, a brunette nation glomped the both of them from behind. "Good morning~."
Jackie jumped from the sudden action while Maki only snapped out of her trance. She was used to the Italian's affection from staying at the German brothers' house since he kept visiting on a regular basis. "Good morning, Feliciano."
The other girl recovered herself. "Good morning to you too, Feli."
"Guten morgen," said Ludwig as he took a sip of coffee. Black coffee was Jackie's guess.
Kiku also joined the party in the room. "Good morning everyone."
"Ohayou." Maki gave him a meek smile.
The Italian nation waved at his Japanese companion. "Good morning~."
Jackie bobbed her head at him. "Heyo."
Kiku smiled at the company and then headed over to where the German sat. He lowered his voice to a hushed tone. "There seems to be a problem in the kitchen area."
Ludwig raised a brow. "What is the problem?" The last time he checked, everything was in order and going smoothly.
His ally nodded. "It would seem as if there was a terrible fall. There were crumbs of desserts everywhere."
"On no!" Unfortunately Feliciano was approaching them when he heard the last bit. "No desserts?"
The German rubbed his temples. "That is a problem… if there are no snacks provided then the chaos would be crazier today." Most of the nations, especially Feliciano and Alfred, looked forward to the treats provided during the meeting breaks. His German chocolate cakes were the specialty and favorite, and now that the long hours worked to create them were gone, he was afraid of what would result later in the day. He sighed heavily. "I will have to look into it."
"That sucks." Maki drew random chibi figures on her paper.
As for her friend, it was much more tragic news. Jackie started whining. "No…dessert…?" Anime-styled tears ran down her face.
With a few strokes of the pen, the younger girl drew some desserts on her paper and handed it to her. "Here, have some imaginary cake and tarts."
"Cake!" exclaimed the Korean.
"Ve, where?"
Jackie started pounding, lightly, on the table. "I want cake!"
A sweatdrop slid down Maki's head. "I'll see if I can make some after the meeting…" She'd learned some recipes from Ludwig and Roderich and did not mind trying them for her friend's sake.
The girl paused and looked at her. "After talking about sweets, I have the sudden desire to eat some!"
"What can we do about it?" Maki retorted. It wasn't like a piece of cake was going to randomly show up in front of them.
Footsteps were heard as more people were filing into the room. Alfred was one of them and he managed to gett Ludwig's attention. "Hey Lud, why is there a smashed up cake in the hallway?"
At that, Jackie immediately stood up and rushed out the room to check it out. Maki yawned and decided to just have her friend report back to her later. "Cake abuse…"
Jackie returned shortly with a gloom. "You know how long it's been since I had any cake?"
"How long?" Feliciano titled his head.
"Two weeks!" She shook Maki by her shoulders. "I am cake deprived!"
Her friend managed to get her to stop. "Your Oppa doesn't give you any cake?" She imaged that Yong Soo was willing to get her just about anything because he was her heritage nation.
Jackie pouted. "It's not the same as the pure American sugar I'm used to."
"Ah…" Maki scratched her head. "Well, it'll be German sugar here then."
"American sugar!"
Alfred heard her random exclamation and hurried over to where the two were. He swung his arm over her shoulders. "American products!"
"American colored ice cream and cake!" Jackie continued shouting.
"Heck yeah!" the American shouted with her.
"The stuff that will make me puke!"
"YE—what wait?"
Kiku across the room could not help but to reminiscent over a certain flashback. He glanced to the side. "Colorful cakes…"
Jackie plopped down into her seat. "But I am running out of energy since I am cake deprived."
"That may be a good thing," Arthur commented as he walked by her.
She glanced up at him. "My body works differently."
The British man pretended to be intrigued to pass some of the free time at hand. "How so?"
Maki decided to tune out Jackie's explanation and rested her head in her arms on the table.
Feliciano noticed the low energy coming from the girl. She does have less energy than Jackie but it was low even for her. He knelt down by her to be on eye-level. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just a little tired…" She did not lift her head. It wasn't a complete lie since Gilbert would sometimes decide it was karaoke party night in his room and keep her awake, until Ludwig finally decides to shut him up. Otherwise, a tad of homesickness was getting to her. She decided that she would talk to Arthur later about the spell.
"Ve~." The Italian patted her head. His attention moved to the door when Ludwig walked in after talking to one of the maids about the dessert situation. He skipped over to the German.
The bulky nation shook his head. "The situation doesn't look too well."
"What's wrong?" Feliciano titled his head.
"It seems that some of the maids were pushed and they dropped the desserts for the meeting."
"Pushed?" Kiku was worried about the desserts as well but leaned toward to the sanity of some of the nations rather than to enjoying the snacks.
"Ja," the German made a face, "by some children that resides in this hotel." He could not believe that such mistake would slip into the kitchen even with the strictly enforced rules. He wondered how the kids were able to get into the kitchen area without getting caught by the hotel's lookout.
"Oh no~…" the Italian sulked. "That means no snacks."
An idea popped into the Korean's mind. Jackie glanced at Maki after Arthur and Alfred went to take their seats. "Hey Kiki-chan…"
The said girl raised her head a little. "Yes?"
She lowered her head near Maki's. "If they are having such a tough time with sweets…" she gave a sly grin, "then are you thinking of what I'm thinking?"
Maki blinked. "You don't mean…?" Jackie kept the smile on her face. She meant business. "But will we be allowed to?"
The smile faded a little. "…We will never know but we can definitely find out when the meeting goes crazy again."
"I guess so…" The younger girl was never ready to take risks like her friend but this involved dessert-making; something she genuinely enjoyed and would love to get more feedback on to polish up her skills.
Jackie beamed knowing that she brought up something that would distract her friend from whatever that was on her mind. "What are you planning on making?"
"Hmm…" Maki turned her paper over and started making a list that consisted of- cookie ice cream sandwiches, chocolate mousse, crepe, and strawberry tart. She wanted to maintain some class since the nations were much older than the two.
"Hm…" The black haired girl stared at the list. "I can make crepes." It was the easiest to make at the limited time they would have.
"Sounds appropriate," commented Maki. She checked put a checkmark by it. "What should the filling be?"
Jackie thought back to when she had crepes at a restaurant. "How about strawberry whipped cream?" That was probably the best thing she's had when it came to crepe fillings.
Her friend nodded. "I like that."
She smiled and then a thought occurred to her. "What about you? Some people might not like crepes."
The girl did make a good point. Maki looked at the list and found that none of them really appealed to her. She observed the nation-filled tables and scribbled a new item on the list. "Red velvet cupcakes."
Jackie gasped. "I love your red velvets."
"I'll save you two."
"Yes!" She cheered. "Okay, let's make a list of the ingredients."
The two girls made a compilation of all the things they would need as the meeting droned on. After waiting an hour, the usual chaos picked up.
Maki casually glanced at Jackie. "Should we sneak out now?"
"Totally." She slid her chair back slowly to avoid any annoying noises that would get too many people's attention. Maki folded the list and put it in her pocket and followed her example.
"This idea is awesome!"
"Shut up you bloody idiot!"
"Ve… no snacks…"
"Mein gott…"
Jackie slowly closed the door after the two slipped out of the room. She let go of the handle and turned to Maki. "Phew, we made it."
She nodded. "Now, where's the kitchen?"
Her friend scanned the halls and found the mess from the desserts. She pointed to the left. "That way."
The two made their way down to the kitchen. As they approached the door, a larger man in a chef's attire walked out of it, looking very distressed.
Maki whispered to the older girl. "Would he understand English?" It was a known language in Europe but it didn't mean every single person would know it.
"Maybe…" Jackie walked up to the man. "Excuse me."
He was startled for a second and looked down at her. "Ja?"
She cocked her head to the side. "Can you speak English..?"
"Ah," he smiled a little, "ja, I can. Is something the matter?"
A slight surge of relief ran through her. "Can we use your kitchen?"
He raised a curious brow. "How come?"
"Well…" She went ahead and explained the entire plan to him.
The chef's smile widened at each idea. "Oh! Wunderbar! You would do that for us?"
Jackie placed her arm over quiet-Maki's shoulder. "Me and my friend here; but we will do it for your sake too."
"I am sure we have the ingredients you need." He rubbed the back of his neck. "We have our hands full with cleaning and restocking so we won't be in your way very much. I will help you two as much as I can though."
"Okay!" Jackie grinned.
"Danke." Maki nodded at him.
The chef led the two into the kitchen. It was large and rather tidy for a kitchen. Then again, seeing how Ludwig was in the anime, this much was probably expected. Everything was clearly labeled and everyone was working efficiently. The girls took their place at one of the worktables after washing their hands while the man went to fetch all the things they need.
Maki tied the string of her apron and stepped onto the footstool. "Okay Jackie, I wrote down some reminders for when you make the crepes so make sure to follow those." She handed her the paper.
Her friend took it and did a mini salute. "Hai~."
The younger girl nodded and turned to the chef. "Herr Koch [Mister chef], could you make the strawberry whipped cream?"
"Ja!" He went right ahead and started it, following her recipe. The girls got to work on their own creations as well.
Jackie set out the bowl of crepe batter for Maki to see. "Consistent enough?"
She ran a whisk through it and raised it up. "Yeah, that's perfect."
"Okay, going to get the frying pan." The Korean went over the basics of the stove's use with the chef and prompted herself to start the crepes.
Maki finished her red velvet cake batter and prepared the cupcake pans. She's never seen one with thirty-five molds. It was amazing since she would be able to make seventy in twenty minutes, versus her forty-eight in one hour because she only owned a twelve-mold one.
"The whipped cream is almost ready, fraulein." The chef was whipping the pink stained filling to its fullest volume.
The Japanese girl nodded. "That's good." She scooped out the last of the batter and headed to the preheated oven.
"Aww… I messed up again."
"Gambare Jackie." Maki put the pans into the oven and set the timer on. She placed it in her apron pocket and started on making the frosting for the cupcakes.
The chef wrapped and refrigerated the filling to prevent it from melting. He wiped his hand with a towel. "Anything else you need, fraulein?"
"Uhh…" Maki looked up from the mixer. "Do you have an icing pipe and a large star tip?"
"I can quickly retrieve it." He went into what she guessed was the storage room and came back with the requested items.
The girl peeked behind the man. "How are the crepes coming along, Jackie?"
She set out a plate for her to see. "Are these good?"
Maki lifted some in the pile and examined them. "A little burnt but other than that, it's the right thinness."
"Oh whatever, I did my best," scoffed Jackie.
Her friend laughed a little. "I know." She took out her timer. "10 more minutes…"
"Okay, is this crepe good?" Jackie held up the one she just made.
"Yep."
"Yes! Now a hundred more to go." She sulked a little at the heavy thought and sighed.
The chef chuckled. "Since I finished the whipped cream, I can help you."
The energy returned back to the girl. "Okay. How about I place the fillings and stuff and you finish making the rest."
"Ja." He poured the batter for the next one into the pan.
Maki shut the fridge after placing the frosting into the piping bag. "I'll help too since I have to wait for the cupcakes to cool down."
"Are these crepes good?" The chef showed her the one he finished making.
"A little too thick." She commented. The timer in her pocket went off and she went to take the cupcakes out of the oven. "Smell that Jackie?"
"Yay!" She reached for one.
Maki smacked her hand with a spatula that was lying around.
"Wah!" Jackie pulled back and rubbed the place hit.
The younger girl waved it in front of her. "One, it's still 300 degrees and two, wait until we're all done here."
Jackie cried in exasperation. She really wanted to have cake right now and the delicious smell coming from, well, everything was not helping at all.
Maki went up to the station where the crepes were being prepared. "Do you want me to help make the crepes or fold them?"
"Fold them, bitte {please}." The chef was finishing up the last of the batter.
"What about me?" Jackie concluded her mini drama act, for now.
"What were you doing earlier?" Maki started filling and folding one.
She pointed at what her friend was doing. "That."
"I'll plate them then." She took the one she folded and placed it in a plate. She used some of the other filling ingredients the chef made available for them and started to decorate it a little. Maki smiled at her little creation in satisfaction and turned to the German. "How long do we have until snack?"
He glanced at the clock. "About thirty minutes."
"That's the last of it." Jackie finished filling and folding the crepes.
Maki sensed a shortage on time and set the plate she was working on in front of them. "Can you two finish decorating the rest like this one? I have to go back to the cupcakes."
"Okay." Jackie prompted herself to copy the design ten plates at a time. The other girl frosted the cupcakes with a simple rosette and placed them on the tiered shelf.
The chef wiped his hands as he finished his sets of plates. "It seems like you girls have everything set. I will let the nations know."
"Yes, thank you." Maki smiled at him. The thought of having the nations eat her and Jackie's desserts made her both happy and nervous.
"It is I who should be thanking you, frauleins." He smiled at them. It was a nice warm smile, something you would probably never see from Ludwig nowadays. He left the kitchen.
The younger girl blushed a little and muttered to herself. "It was nothing…" She just went with Jackie's plan but ended up carrying out most of the procedures without really realizing it. It felt a little nice for once, having people listen to you and come to you for feedback.
Jackie tugged at her shirt. "You take control of the kitchen, Kiki-chan."
Maki noticed that the desserts were all loaded onto carts by the kitchen staff. The maids and servers went ahead and started rolling them. Two carts were left over.
The Korean girl looked at it and then at her friend. "I guess we roll them to the meeting room too?"
"Seems like it." Maki manned one while Jackie got the other and they followed the five other carts back to the meeting room.
-At the meeting-
"Ve… Snack time is coming but there's no snack to look forward to." Feliciano slumped onto the table.
Ludwig sighed. "I am sorry but there will be no snack today." Technically speaking, it was best for everyone's health since having too many sweets is not always a good thing. But he did feel guilty and unaccomplished for not being able to fulfill his duty.
"That's not cool, man." Alfred was resting his chin on his hand and pouted.
"Yes, I must have some tea." The Brit crossed his arms. If he did not at least get his tea then he would be just as unpleased as the rest.
"Your scones would not help," Francis flipped his blonde wavy hair, "as disgusting as they are."
Arthur glared at him. "Didn't need your input, you bearded frog…"
"I didn't bring my snacks with me either, aru." Yao huffed. He usually did but lately no one's been taking them so he left them home today.
"Da…" Even Ivan looked a little down because of this.
The German shook his head. "I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience."
There was a knock on the door, making everyone stop and stare.
"Excuse me, your snacks are here."
Feliciano raised his sleep head off the table. "Ve?"
"What?" Ludwig marched up to the door and opened it just a crack.
His main chef bowed at him. "Yes, we will be having red velvet cupcakes and strawberry whipped cream crepes."
"Erm, okay, I see." He did not know what happened and he did not really believe in them but this was one large miracle. The German nation went up to the front of the meeting room and cleared his throat. It was all quiet for once. "There has been a change of plans and snacks will be served."
Feliciano threw his hands up in the air. "Yay!"
"Yes!" Alfred threw a victory fist pump.
"Tres bien~." Francis clapped his hands together.
Meanwhile, Kiku glanced back at the place where Jackie and Maki sat. He has been wondering why it's been unusually quiet and could not get a chance to see why earlier. Much to this partial-surprise, they were gone.
"Hmm…" The Russian was also looking at the empty chairs.
Berwald stared at the seats and turned to his Finland companion. "Wh'r's Ja'ki 'nd M'ki?"
Tino just shrugged for he was also wondering the same thing. "That is strange."
"I was wondering why it was quieter over there," said Arthur.
Ludwig stood by the door. "Where did they go run off to now..?" He had a certain feeling though, of where they could have possibly have went this time.
-Outside the room-
Jackie laughed to herself. "Won't they be surprised?"
Maki nodded. "I hope they'll like the sweets." To be praised by them would make her extremely happy and content. Presentation was one thing but the taste was also important. Now that she thought of it, she hadn't really had the chance to taste anything but the cake and its frosting. Knots were forming in her stomach now.
"They'd better," scoffed Jackie. She was glad that she was able to get her friend's mind off of home. Baking was something that made her really happy. It made the Korean really happy too because it meant delicious cake time.
The chef turned to face them. "The desserts have been introduced."
"Serving time?" Maki titled her head.
"I think he means that the nations know we are coming." Jackie grinned.
The German placed his hand on the door's handle. "Do you want me to open the door now?"
The short-haired girl looked at her friend. Jackie gave him a nod. "Sure."
-Meeting altogether-
The double doors opened up, revealing carts of desserts and among them, two familiar looking people.
"Hey!" Jackie waved her hand. "How are ya'?!"
Francis and several other nations flinched from the sudden voice. Alfred stood up from his seat. "Whoa, where did you come from?"
Maki peeked her head from behind Jackie. She decided it was a little embarrassing to present herself like this. She waved meekly at the nations.
"Oh." The Swedish nation's face did not change enough to tell his reaction clearly but he was just as surprised.
His friend sniffed the air as the carts rolled into the room. "Those smell good!"
Ludwig still stood at the front, supervising the servings. "This is a surprise."
"They look deliziosa~." Feliciano decided to go with the crepe.
"Thanks but the 'kitchen freak' said they are burnt." Jackie casually glanced at Maki.
Her friend decided to ignore her comment and smiled at the Italian. "Grazie, Feliciano."
Ludwig watched the two while everyone claimed whatever sweets they could get their hands on. Jackie started crying as the red velvet cupcakes started to disappear upon every bite.
"Hey…" Maki tugged at her friend's shirt. When she turned around, the younger girl held up a platter with two cupcakes. She had a feeling that something like this would happen so she saved them just in case.
"Cupcakes!" Jackie instantly hugged her. "Finally, I get my cakes!"
Maki balanced the desserts as she was being partially suffocated. The Korean girl swiped the cupcakes off the plate and ate them, with utter joy written right across her face.
-At a restaurant-
"Are you sure about this, Ludwig?"
After the meeting, the girls were taken to a restaurant of luxury proportions. Jackie having never been in a fancy place just had to express her surprise, though it came out more dramatic than it sounded in her head.
"Ja," the German nodded at her, "it is my way to express my gratitude for preventing chaos from occurring earlier."
Maki stared at the food on the table. Being small in size physically, she knew she would not be able to finish all the food. She didn't really eat much to begin with. Jackie on the other hand, could.
"What? Are these tiny corns?" She was just a picky eater.
"Big brother."
"No."
"Big brother."
"No way."
"Big sister."
"You make no sense."
Jackie looked at the other table and saw the Nordics. The Swedish man noticed her and waved.
She reflected the notion and smiled at him. "Hi Berwald!" Maki and Tino glanced up from the sudden outburst.
The Dane waved wildly too. "Hey guys!" He got up and went up to the three at the other table. "How ya doing?"
"Ludwig is treating us for dinner." Jackie high-fived the wild-haired nation. Maki looked at the two and wondered when they became friends.
"Nice," Dan grinned, "get as much as you can from him." The Dane was becoming friends with Ludwig as well and has been going out for drinks every now and then. A figure swept behind him and yanked at his tie.
"Forgive him."
Maki laughed nervously while the German just sighed. Ludwig cleared his throat and glanced at her and realized that she had barely touched her food. "Is something the matter?"
She flinched and took a bite out of a potato dish. "No, I'm okay." She was hungry but she couldn't get herself to eat.
Jackie looked over at her. "Maki-chan…" She hardly used her real name, only when she was worried about something.
The Japanese girl swallowed the food. It was quite delicious but another thought lingered in her head. She wanted to catch Arthur after the meeting but he had left soon after for other business. She couldn't ask him about the spell and who knows how long it would be until she would next see him.
She stuck another forkful of potatoes in her mouth. "Yes?"
"Ah," Jackie scooted her chair closer to hers. There was obviously something on her mind. "Don't worry, you're my little sis, so don't worry."
Ludwig and Lukas looked at her curiously. The girl sighed and played with the piece of broccoli on her plate. "I feel kind of guilty for staying here for so long… especially under your care, Ludwig." She timidly glanced up at him. She felt bad for practically being a freeloader at his home. He was constantly busy and all and before she could do anything, like clean the house or make him coffee, or something of those sorts, he'd already taken care of them early in the morning.
"Then stay with someone else," Jackie said casually.
"But…"
"What? I can't stay with Big Brother because of work-related stuff." She frowned. It was wonderful to be able to be with her heritage nation but it didn't occur to her until recently that he would be out a lot. "So…" She looked at her friend.
"So?" She tilted her head slightly.
"Are you going to stay with someone else?"
The girl poked at the broccoli again. "I don't know… It feels weird to randomly ask people."
Jackie went up to the Swedish nation. "Hey, would mind if I bunked with you this time?"
He stared at her for a moment and one wouldn't exactly see it in his face but he was a bit surprised that she would ask him such a question. "I d'n't mind."
The Korean girl smiled as she turned to her friend. A sweatdrop ran down Maki's head. "W-well, it's easier said than done for me."
"Well then, I'll ask for you." Jackie grinned at her reassuringly.
"Hello comrades."
The older girl shouted a bit from surprise and swung around to face the nation. "You scared me, Ivan." He giggled in response.
Maki was also startled from the sudden presence. "Hello."
"Hello, Ivan." The German nodded at him.
"Hello, Ludwig." He smiled at him.
Jackie gasped as a thought came across to her. "I know! Hey Ivan…"
The mentioned nation looked at her. "Da?"
"Kiki-chan needs a new place to stay. Would you mind if she stays with you?"
He tilted his head. "Oh?" He turned his attention to the Japanese girl. "Ludwig is too busy, da?" She nodded slowly.
The German sighed a bit. "Ja, and I cannot force her to put up with anymore of my bruder's nonsense." It was not healthy for her, in all means possible.
"I can spare a room then." Ivan smiled warmly at her.
Maki was pleased that the situation was taken care of this easily but Ivan was new to her. She wasn't exactly 'scared' of him like how the other nations were but he certainly was a different character. "T-thank you."
"Aww don't worry." Jackie patted her back. "Ivan is a big teddy bear so he won't hurt you." The mentioned nation blushed slightly at the comment.
Tino rested his chin on his hand and looked at the gathered group. "I somehow can't believe that you befriended Ivan, Jacklin."
The Korean girl groaned a little at the last bit. "Again with my full name."
Maki giggled at her, but at the same time wondered how things were going to be now that the two were going to stay at new places. Jackie was obviously familiar with Berwald, but for her to be with Ivan…
…
-Hetalia-
Hey hey Jackie, could I have some soda?
Hey hey Kiku, hey hey Kiku,
I could never forget the taste of the new world that I randomly fell into!
Draw a circle, there's the earth
Draw a circle, there's the earth
Draw a circle, there's the earth
I'm Maki!
Ah, a brand new world
That you could go to because of America.
Let's just enjoy our time!
Hetalia!
