Author's Note (Dark): Yeah... Sorry about the delay guys! Light and I have finals this week so we were trying to study... and we had a HUGE concert... When I was finally ready to type this, life happened and I got grounded from the computer for the weekend... Enjoy!

P.S. I also apologize to any of my Occlumency for Kiku readers! I will try to update ASAP!

Disclaimer: If I did own Hetalia... I'd put Germany in a duck costume. Unfortunately, I don't- so no duck costumes (for now)!

Vanessa continued on her way to her dorm. The large Russian in front of her was making a path through the swarm of people around them. "I wonder why they just go out of his way so quickly…" Her attention was briefly caught by three people trembling on her left side. "Are they afraid? Why would they be afraid of Ivan?... I suppose I was, too. But then again, I had a reason- just how many people come up to you and say 'Become one with Mother Russia'? I thought he was a rapist for Pete's sake!"

"We are here Vanessa." Ivan's voice rang out, taking the girl out of her musings. "You are staying in this dorm, correct?"

"A-ah… Yeah. This is the one," Vanessa told him, after checking the number of the dorm number. "32G- that's me." She said cheerfully, enjoying how it rhymed.

Suddenly a loud thump came from the other side of the door, along with a few surprised voices, and some strange clicking noises followed shortly.

"What's going on in here?" Vanessa shouted as she swung the door wide open. She looked around the room. "…What are you doing?" She gaped at the sight in front of her. There was a girl sprawled on the floor and a blond boy was on top of her. Then there were two identical boys taking photos of the whole incident, almost as if they were paparazzi and the people on the floor were famous. But now, all eyes- and cameras- were on her.

"Will! Your roommate is here!" One of the twins yelled to the pair on the floor.

"Oh… Erm… Just a second, please!" The girl said as the boy was trying to get off of her.

"… No problem. Why were you-" Vanessa began, but was interrupted by the blond boy's (very manly) shriek of terror.

"Ru-Ivan! What is going on? I thought you didn't have a partner!" He trembled out in a thick British accent, instantly standing in front of the other occupants of the room protectively.

"Da, I don't. This is Kiku's partner, Vanessa." Ivan smiled calmly.

The blond started to panic. "Where's Kiku, then? I swear if you did anything funny I'll-"

"Don't worry," Ivan interjected, "He's fine. Vanessa here is my friend. My new willing friend."

"Umm… So mister-" Vanessa began, pausing for the boy to provide his name. She didn't like where the previous conversation was going.

"What? Oh- I'm Arthur." The boy looked from the Russian to Vanessa. "And this girl here is Will, your roommate. The other two are her older twin brothers, Charles and Chaucer. I don't really know which is which and I don't care either."

"… Ok. So, Arthur, why were you in top of Will and why were they taking pictures?" She asked, pointing at the twins.

"Oh! I tripped on a banana peel and pulled him down with me!" Will said, "I still don't know where that peel came from though… No one was eating one beforehand."

A few conspiratorial giggles were heard from the twins' direction. Vanessa sweat-dropped, "And they were taking pictures of this because...?"

"Because our daughter is growing up so fast and we need pictures of her before she's too old and is far, far away!" One of the twins answered over-dramatically. "Plus, we need photos for the wedding!"

"Oh, yes! The wedding! I almost forgot about that." The other twin continued, "So Mr. Eyebrows, when are you going to pop the question?"

"WE ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED!" Arthur bellowed, "I have to go now. Will, you should get to know Vanessa better." He ordered as he ran out the door, as red as a fire truck.

After a few seconds of awkwardness, Ivan finally broke the silence. "I guess I should get going, too. I'll see you tomorrow, da?" He asked Vanessa.

"Da. Ja. Hai. Si. Sure- I'll see you tomorrow." Vanessa said, pinching the bridge of her nose. She did not like how Mr. Eyebrows treated Ivan earlier and was getting a headache from the previous yelling. "Good-bye Ivan."

Ivan just smiled at her and began to walk away, "Bye Nessie." He called out, before rounding a corner and going out of sight.

"Nessie?" Vanessa thought to herself, "Huh- that's a first. I already have a nickname and the term hasn't even started yet."

"So… Nessie…" The twins purred, wrapping their arms around her shoulders. "Since you're staying with our wonderful daughter, we're going to have to lay down a couple of rules. Rule number one: no boys in the room after dark. Rule number two: no alcohol- even if this is Germany and the drinking age is different here. Rule number three: protect Will- she tends to do some really stupid things; blowing up the kitchen is normal for her. And finally, rule number four: you have to let us call you our other daughter!" They grinned slyly.

"Fine, fine- just GET OUT!" Vanessa shouted, "I'm getting a headache from your presence!"

The twins finally ran out the room snickering. Vanessa plopped down on the bed in the room that didn't have any stuff on it.

"Are they always like that?" She asked her new roommate.

"… Unfortunately, yes." Will response was quiet; she was trying not to get Vanessa's headache any worse than it already was.

"I am so sorry for you." Vanessa said. "I think I'm going to take a nap- if that's alright with you."

Will watched in amazement as Vanessa literally fell asleep in a matter of seconds. "We'll get along just fine, Vanessa." She said as she tossed a spare blanket over her slumbering friend. "This'll be an awesome year."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a person with silvery hair and red eyes pushed the door to their dorm open with enough force to break it. "DID SOMEONE SAY 'AWESOME'?! IF SO- DON'T WORRY! THE AWESOME GILBERT IS HERE!"

Vanessa woke up instantly, staring at 'Gilbert', and screamed "WAKING PEOPLE UP IS NOT AWESOME! GET OUT!" And chased him out of the room, down the hall, and Will assumed that Vanessa'd keep chasing him until they were in Berlin.

Yep. Prussia... Let's just say I REALLY wanted to reach the 1000 word mark on this chapter...

Light: Random is awesome!

Me: And awesome is Prussia!

Light: Yes! Random is to awesome as awesome is to Prussia.
