Hello again my fantastic readers. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews and follower, favorites and so forth. I will post the names of these people when I not writing during my spare one day.

But still thank you so much, it really means a lot to me!

"Is that because you have no friends?"

Gilberta! Today is supposed to be Natalia's turn!

"Kesesese, well I'm so awesome that I took over, and I am epically saving you from Natalia!"

Isn't there somebody else?

"Kesese! So today we have

Calfisch- a dwarf from Switzerland! How lame.

Yeah so Kenn does not own Hetalia as I've said before. The AWESOME owner of Hetalia is Hidekaz Himaruya.

And rate and review because, well, I AM AWESOME! And it helps Kenn write JA ja."

Are you done?

"Nein, ready and READ AND BECOME AWESOME! Well not as epic or awesome as I am."

Big Brother's Worry.

The pale cream curtains hung across the dark window, their table was worn and wooden with words carved in. Stains from the beer mugs over the decades had engraved themselves into the aged oak. Small purple flowers sat wilting in their clay vase. Tino poked at the purple flowers while sipping on his mug.

Lili watched as Ivan drank the vodka placing the now nearly empty bottle on the wooden table. Ivan was different; people didn't walk near him, they tended to subconsciously avoid him. His white hair draped low across his eyes hiding the startling beautiful colour. His pale pink scarf was wrapped loosely around his neck hanging down his large figure.

That was another thing, Ivan was massive. In most doorways he had to duck. He stood easily six foot; roughly six foot six Lili would guess. Mathias walked over dropping down heavily down beside Ivan. Mathias was tall as well over six foot, probably six foot tow; but still managed to look slight compared to the Russian.

"You tow are making me feel really short." Tino complained sitting beside Lili, "What do you eat to get that tall?"

Ivan looked up smiling instantly, "Vodka. But becoming one with Mother Russia helps too."

Tino rolled his eyes grumbling as Mathias snickered loudly.

"So we still have to find Natalia and Alfred." Lili said

"Little Sister will be fine." Ivan said, "Don't worry about her."

Mathias frowned, "nice thing to say about your sister."

Ivan smiled brightly, "She takes after me da? So she will be fine."

Tino shrugged taking a sipped of his ale. He glanced outside the window that was next to the table the group sat around. He sulked over his drink as an orange light ran past. It came back to the window. It stopped.

Suddenly a little face of small man slammed against the glass. A large nose breathed on the glass fogging it up and reveling the monstrosity of nose hairs. Tino screamed falling back as bright black eyes stared back at him. Lili turned just in time as Tino fell back against her.

The little man knocked and waved. Then removed his face with a small pop! Suddenly the little man was suddenly standing on the table starting at Mathias and Tino.

He was bizarre, his clothes where bright leathers with brass and lead buttons and strips of ordinate metals. He had scraggly red beard that was loose and twisting into the thread of his cloths. He also wore a little night cap on his head.

"You're Mathias right? Please tell me you are! She'll be furious, twenty minutes is almost up you know!" the man said nodding his head importantly, "You come will me!"

Mathias blinked stupidly, "What's a dwarf doing here?"

"I'm Calfisch the Dwarf Tinker!" the dwarf said nodding again before reverting back into a serious voice, "Now that's settled come with me. Quick on your feet and we can go find the boy! Oh dearie dearie! I knew it was no good!"

"What?" Tino asked recovering, "Who sent you to find who?"

"The lady! The frightening one with the big bottle! To find the poor little one!" Calfisch said starting to get annoyed at how slow the people around him where being.

"Sorry still don't follow" Mathias ruffling his hair.

Calfisch huffed angrily, "Now don't be a fool the lady specifically told me to get you two to come into the forest to help her fight off Baba Yaga!"

"Wh-" Mathias began as he was cut off

"Baba Yaga? She's here? Why?" Ivan demanded his eyes narrowed in concern.

Calfisch stuttered surprised by the sudden knowledge of Ivan behind him, "W-well I don't know. The lady spoke the same tongue as Baba Yaga and she call the poor boy that was taken away Al- Alfrank?"

"Alfred?" Lili said

Calfisch lit up smiling brightly at the blond girl, "That's what it was! Poor Dearie."

"Poor dearie indeed, come with me now little man." Ivan ordered standing; patting himself down before bellowing in a harsh voice, "Bring me a bottle of your best vodka, string, cooked ham, and sunflowers."

Tino gave Ivan a strange look, "Sunflowers?"

Ivan smiled happily, "DA! They make everyone happy!"

Mathias stared trying to hide his clear 'are-you- an- idiot' look that he sent Ivan, "Don't we need actual weapons or something?"

"Nyet, bring harm to Baba Yaga and she returns it worse and eats up bad little children. But she cannot harm innocent or pure children who are good. Which is why we will need little Lili." Ivan said as he received all of his ordered materials except for the sunflower which he frowned at but shrugged it off.

"What? Can't I say behind?" Lili called desperately as Ivan turned toward the door stuffing the ham into his jacket.

"Nyet, protection charm!"

He marched out of the door practically dragging Calfisch as the little dwarf cried out for Ivan to slow down. Ivan continued on trailed by Lili, Tino and Mathias as they struggled to keep up with the Russian.

"Wait! Ivan!" Tino yelled as he ran past the closed shops and glowing windows, that seem almost hypnotic, "can't we do this tomorrow?"

"Nyet!" Ivan called back cheerily

"Let's go of me!" Calfisch ordered weakly

"Nyet!"

Slowly they approached the bridge as Calfisch frustration popped. Snapping his fingers, Ivan froze and suddenly collapsed to the cobble stones. Calfisch stepped away huffing as he rubbed his abused shoulder.

"Honestly I asked you to stop many times!" Calfisch scolded, "Learn your place!"

Ivan gave a low animistic snarl that rippled through his throat. Freezing Calfisch paled as his little black eyes widened with fear. Ivan stood up. Like a foreboding shadow he lowered his bottle of vodka so that it hovered above Calfisch's head.

Ivan smiled all tension of the threat whisking away like smoke, "You won't do that again da?"

Calfisch shook shaking his head furiously. Ivan smile widened, "хорошо, I would hate to have to hurt someone da?"

Lili stepped in front of Ivan looking up with pleading green eyes, "Lo- Lord Ivan please we need to help Lady Natalia and Alfred. He was only trying to help!"

Ivan stared down hesitantly lifting the glass bottle away. He smiled rubbing the girl's head as she whimpered under the pressure.

"Не мешает еще раз." Ivan smiled widely turning on his heel as he marched across the bridge. Tino ran up hugging Lili quickly then taking her hand pulling her towards Ivan's retreating figure. Mathias picked up the dwarf placing the cheesy smelling creature on his back.

Ivan stopped on the edge; breathing deeply, then continued to walk into the forest. Tino, Lili and Mathias followed him into the mass of tangled branches and thorns.

"What are we looking for?" Tino called swatting a branch out of the way, "I- Ivan! What are we doing?"

"Looking for Natalia. I don't care about the other boy, Baba Yaga can have him." Ivan said shoving a branch back so it whip lashed into Lili and Tino's face.

"But-!" Lili called dodging another flying branch, "Please Ivan slow down!"

"Walk faster, da?" Ivan smiled as he pressed on faster.

"Skiderik!" Mathias bellowed as a branch smacked into his face

Lili looked up ducking yet again another branch; staring hopelessly at the disappearing figure of Ivan.
