*One hour earlier*

Alfred beamed out the window cheerfully, "Wow! It sure is lucky that Holy Rome is only like half an hour away from Berlin! Hahaha!"

"Ja, bad luck." Ludwig clenched and unchlenched his fists. "Just vhat ve need, an enemy with a nice short valk avay from our capital."

Arthur smiled as best he could, "Oh, cheer up Luddy old boy! On the upside if you become friends, think of all the tourism you'll get! Why they would come here to vacation is beyond me. I mean, you'd think that they could do all the stuff at home that they could do here but still, there's always a possibility."

"Woooow mon ami, I always knew you were a bit of a downer, but that was the worst attempt to cheer anyone up I 'ave ever seen." Francis shook his head disaprovingly. His face brightened suddenly, and it was almost like sparkles seemed to glint around him, "Let the master show you 'ow it's done! Hey, Ludwig! I 'ave a present for you! I 'ave been keeping it warm in my pants, could you reach in and-" Francis never got a chance to finish his sentence. Ludwig had brought his fist down upon Francis's head, and had knocked him out. Francis's body slumped against the car door, and he had a very ridiculous smile on his face.

"Well! That escalated quickly!" Alfred was reclined in his chair or as reclined as someone can be in a car, looking slightly up, with a soda in his hand. Everyone just looked at him a moment.

"Alfred-san," Kiku spoke up, "Why are you posing rike that?"

"Like what? This? Oh! Well, these things memes, yah they're pretty popular back home, this is a pose in one of them. You bros like?"

Before they got a chance to answer, the limo pulled up to thier hotel. Ludwig sighed, " I guess ve had better wake those two idiots up." He jabbed a thumb in the direction of Francis and Feliciano, who were slupped over, still snozing.

"I'll wake up the fops!" Arthur reached his hand into the on-limo cooler, grabbed a handfull of half melted ice, and threw it in thier faces. "Wake up Froggy!"

Francis's eyes snapped open, and he bolted up straight and began sputtering incoherently. "You! I am, You will, I..I.."

Arthur turned to Ludwig, "I think you might have shaken his brain loose. Well, looser anyway." Then, on instinct he flung the car door open and sprinted for the hotel door. Just in time too, because Francis had lunged at him, narowly missing the englishman.

"Come back 'ere you limey!" Francis tore wildly after him.

Alfred jumped out of the car too, "Hey, I wanna see the fight! Hahaha!"

Ludwig sighed tiredly, and crossed his arms. "Ah, Rudwig-san?"

Ludwig's head snapped up, "Yes Kiku?"

"How are you going-a to wake up Fericiano?"

"Hmm" Lud wig looked from Feliciano to Kiku, then smiling slightly said, "Pasta."
