Afew days had passed since the bar incident. Spain had only hugged the italian after his confession about Prussia. It didnt bother him. They hadnt slept together in 30 years. He went home the following day and had to jump through the window just to get in.

It was Tuesday and he had a meeting with Japan. The silent man was always so strange. He looked in the mirror one last time. It was the first time in a few years since he had to leave his home for 5 days. He double checked his things before heading to the airport. He met with Japan at the airport when he arrived to Japan. He hoped onto the car and watched the small man drive carefully down the streets. "Youre one of the slowest drivers I have ever known." Japan looked at Romano before looking back at the road and smiled. "Oh yes, I forgot italians are crazy divers." Romano looked at him questionably. "I got into a car with Feliciano-san." Romano smiled to himself and didnt make another comment. Romano went straight to guest bedroom when they arrived and fell asleep. The next three days consisted of long meetings and stuffy business suits. On Friday he woke up and was greeted with the scent of coffee. Romano didn't think Japan liked coffee. He made his way into the kitchen to find noone there, just a note and the coffee.

'Romano-san please come to the meeting room at 12." He drank some of the coffee before getting dressed. Romano looked in awe as he decided to walk to his destination. Japan was very different than Italy. When arrived in the meeting room he was surprised to see England with Japan. "Ah, hello Romano. Fancy seeing you here." The English man smiled. "Good evening bastard, I see you are splendidly garbage" he took a seat across from the Brit and smirked. Through all the years of hardship, he found his strangest friendship to be the one he had with the British gentleman. He was the only person who ever threw insults back at him, and he liked that about him. "Today we are playing a very popular game in Japan, Romano. We are just waiting for Germany-san." Game? He thought they were supposed to have a meeting. The door swung open and interrupted his thoughts as said man came in holding a giant box of alcohol and Japanese snacks with Prussia following behind. "Yo potatoes, youre finally here" Romano watched as germany and japan set the alcohol on a table. Japan smiled as he turned on the game while prussia raided the beer. "So what game is this?" He asked England as he took a beer. "Its karaoke, I hope you're an okay singer pasta breath" England smirked. Was that a challenge? Romano never backs down from a challenge. "Oh yes we now have a version that comes with a dance if youre up for it. So who wants to go first?" Japan moved the headset towards England who gladly took it.

Romano watched as england picked through the Japanese songs. England? Dancing? A Japanese folk song? No way. He chugged half his beer and continued watching as he chose a song called 'wave'. Romano was pleasantly surprised to learn the song was in fact upbeat. England danced and sang along to music, which romano understood no words to it, until it ended. "Wow, look at you old man, dancing like the young kids" Romano teased as England sat down feeling proud of himself. "Romano-san would you like to do a duet? There are afew songs in English. " Romano looked at japan who was handing him a headset. He gladly took it and they chose a song.

Echo-gumi

Romano took the center of the room with Japan a few steps behind him as the music started. Romano started the song with a serious tone.

"The clock stopped ticking, forever ago, how long have I been gone. I dont know. I cant get a grip but I cant let go, there wasnt anything to hold onto at all.

Japan picked up the next verse and he moved next to the Italian in a spin. "Why cant I see? Why cant I see? All the colors that you see. Please can I be? Please can I be, colorful and free.

The two took their positions and the rest of the group watched them very interested. They both sang the next part in a harmozing tone.

"What the hell's going on. Can someone tell me please. Why im switching faster than the channels on t.v."

"Im black"

"Then im white" Romano completed before going back in unison.

"No something isn't right. My enemys invisible I dont know how to fight."

The germans and British were amazed with how well and smoothly they both danced. It was mesmerizing watchimg how perfectly they danced the song.

Romano picked up the next verse "the trembling fear is more than I take, when im up against. The clone in the mirror." Japan instantly took over "echo - o-o-oh" the two continued to dance the song in perfect timing and even had second long solos before the next verse came on. Japan starting this time "im gunna burn my house down, into an ugly black, im gunna run away now and never look back." He did complicated hand movements to this verse. He repeated it once more before Romano joined in with the same verse timed slightly after japans repeating the dance to fit his timing. They stopped in a pose before starting in unison again with the first verse. When the song ended the remaining 3 clapped at their performance. They continued to play and drink challenging each other in a drunken state. Eventually it got to a song where all 5 of them were just moaning into microphone and doing dirty dances so they decided to call it a night. Romano had to admit he had an amazingly day. The following day they all went sight seeing with japan and took a bath together and chatted. Romano was almost upset he had to go so soon when he was finally having fun. When he arrived home he was surprised to see a video of him, Prussia and japan singing and dancing to the song "koshitantan." Even worse. Most nations were commenting on it like crazy. "Feliciano youre laughing at me from heaven arent you?" He asked to the large painting on the wall.

authors note: just a fun chapter to give Romano a break.

The songs were: wave. Echo. Pomp and circumstance. And koshitantan
