I still don't own Hetalia...

Francis was still sat next to the grumpy man, "will you kindly bugger off" he groaned,

"I'll leave when your cousin gets here" Francis retorted,

there was a silence between them for some considerable time,

"ARTHUR!" eyebrows looked over to the door to see Michelle charging over to their table

"Michelle, it's good to see you" he smiled getting to his feet

Michelle skid to a halt "Francis, the hell are you doing here?"

"you know this pervert?" Arthur gasped shooting a glare at Francis "you had best not have done anything to her"

Michelle shook her head "look, Arthur, I can't stay, I'll meet you tomorrow, something's come up"

"wait" Arthur yelled, but she had already left

Francis let out a low whistle "someone got stood up"

"she's my bloody cousin you git!".


Michelle left the inn at a sprint, she had meant to meet her cousin (well, step cousin if you wanted to be technical) but right now she needed to find Antonio, Abel had commandeered Lovino and Bella the moment he stepped ashore, so no one had had the opportunity to warn Antonio.


"So, Lovina, how long have you known the bastard?" Abel asked,

Lovino smirked, apparently he wasn't the only one who called Antonio a bastard, "A couple of months, or there abouts" he replied, before realizing that the truth probably wasn't the best answer that he could give,

"A couple of months? Seems a short time before getting engaged" he replied

"well if they both like each other then what's the problem" Bella interrupted,

"Yeah, what do you care how long I've known the Bastard?" Lovino agreed nodding his head vigorously

Abel narrowed his eyes "I'm trying to work out what you've got that Bella doesn't"

Lovino scowled "She's in the room!, there's nothing wrong with her!"

"so what's wrong with you to make you want to marry Antonio?"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!, say what you want about me but leave Lovi out of it!" Bella yelled.


Michelle sprinted the length of the high street, "OI," She hollered "CAPTAIN BIELSCHMIDT!"

The Prussian turned and grinned "The one and only" he smirked

"have you seen Antonio?" she gasped

"no, but can I..." but she was already running off, she could see Lily and Vash in the distance,

she caught up to them swiftly, "Lily, Vash, I need you to help me find Antonio"

"why, what's happening?" Lily asked worriedly

"Abel's here, he's got Lovi and Bella...they're on a ship at the moment, the one moored next to mine, no one's told Antonio yet and I'm worried about them" Michelle babbled, she was exhausted from running and felt like her legs could give out at any moment.


"you're not leaving, are you?" Arthur muttered

"of course not," Francis smirked "I've earned this day off"

Arthur scowled "do you not think I've earned my day off too?, what gives you the right to sit here and piss me off"

Francis thought for a moment, unsure of why he was there in the first place, he had long since finished his drink, but he continued to bother the Englishman...

"boredom" he grinned.
