(POV: None)

He had thought of a plan. A plan that will both trick the others, and will allow him to see what people actually thought of him. He smirked at the thought, then went off to find his brother. The younger of the two was still in bed, which helped Lovino hugely when it came to finding him. Feliciano was a deep sleeper, it has been said that he once slept through an entire half yelled conversation between his grandfather, and his friend, while in the same room.

Lovino sighed and walked over to Feliciano's room. He gently knocked on the door. "Feliciano? You awake in there?" There was no reply. "Idiot." He pushed open the door and walked over to his brother. Now how to wake him up? "Oi. Bastard, wake up!" He shook the younger brothers shoulders. Feliciano sort of just, flopped. "Hey! Wake up!!" He poked Feliciano in the head. Feliciano stirred and rolled over. Lovino groaned in frustration. "WAKE THE HELL UP!!" He yelled, right in his brother's face.

Felicinao sat uo slowly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Buongiorno fratello..." (good morning brother). "Yeah yeah, whatever, get up. Meet you in the kitchen." Lovino walked out.

Felicinao was tempted to go back to sleep, but he knew his brother would get angry at him. He didnt like it when Lovino was angry, it scared him. But Lovino would get angry a lot, normally at the little things. Little things such as a miss-placed shoe or dropping a fork. It wasnt hard to make Lovino angry. The hard part was calming him down afterwards.

Feliciano sighed and got out of bed slowly. He put his pijamas back on - he sleeps in the nude, it's more comfortable - and went to join his brother in the kitchen.

When he got there, Lovino had already made breakfast - which he often made Feliciano do - and told him to sit down.

They ate their toast in silence. There was no need to talk, and nothing to talk about. Feliciano could've started up a conversation, if he'd wanted to. But he didn't, as he knew it wasn't necessary.

When the two had finished, Feliciano washed the dishes and sat on the sofa next to Lovino. "Lovi. I assume we're going somewhere today, as you woke me up?" "For the last time. My name is Lovino. And yes. We are going somewhere. Theres a meeting on today." Lovino growled back, obviously already frustrated with Feliciano. Feliciano had tried to help Lovino once, only to be pushed out of the way and told to 'fuck off'. Feliciano frowned slightly at the memory and continued to sit next to his brother.

Lovino was nervous to share his plan. He hadn't meant to growl at Feliciano. He thought about all the different responses Feliciano could give him. He could laugh in his face. He could agree. Or he could leave him, alone, forever. That was Lovino's biggest fear. That he would be left alone. That everyone would leave him. He shook his head in order to try to shake away the thought and turned to his brother.

"Fratello..." "Sì?" "I want to attempt something. Like a little prank... on the others... kind of..." "Okay! Lets do it! What is it?" "Well, maybe we could attempt to... er... swap...?" Feliciano tilted his head in confusion, "Swap?" "Yeah... like, pretend to be each other, and see if anyone notices?" "Oh! Yeah! That sounds fun!" They both got up and went to prepare. Feliciano was excited. Lovino was scared. Nothing new really.

Lovino went into Feliciano's room and found his clithes that he wore to every meeting - the military uniform. Luckily the two were similar in size, so Feliciano's clothes fit lovino just fine, and the same with Lovino's on Feliciano. Of course, there were a few differences between them. Feliciano was slightly taller, and a little stronger, the training he did with Germany had its pros. Lovino was lazy, and didn't do much exersize. So Feliciano's clothes were a little too big, but nothing you would be able to notice. Not really.

Lovino put the uniform on and looked in the mirror. The next part was his hair. He parted his hair down the middle. Just like Feliciano's. There was no way he could get his curl to move, but he looked as much like Feliciano as he could achieve. He put on Feliciano's shoes and got ready to leave.

Feliciano took Lovino's uniform and put it on. It was slightly more casual than his own as Lovino preferred comfort over fashion. He too, looked in the mirror after dressing and sorted his hair into the side parten Lovino also wore. He grabbed Lovino's shoes and reunited with Lovino.

Both brothers looked at each other and Feliciano laughed. "Fratello, its scary how just wearing some different clothes make you look so much like me!" "Yeah, yeah... If we're going to go along with this, I'm gonna need your meeting notes." Lovino didn't normally speak during meetings, Feliciano normally did it for the both of them, it was a lot easier and kept the risk of everyone being screamed at to a minimum. Feliciano handed over the small peice of paper. Lovino read it and they left.

The meeting today was at America's house. According to the notes, the discussion was on Global Warming. Sounded boring to Lovino. And Feliciano for that matter.

When they reached the house, though it was more of a mansion, they had to change their facial expressions. Lovino had to look less mean and had to smile. Feliciano had to look grumpy. He wasnt sure how long he would be able to keep the act up. But he'd try. Lovino, on the other hand, hated it already.

The meeting started and everyone sat down. America stood at the front and looked over everyine, smiling, like usual.

"Dude, I think the world Conference can convene, solving all of todays problems by talking excessively. No matter how hard it seems we can fix anything with enough meetings and photo ops. Feel free to speak honestly while protecting your chances of re-election. I'll go first, about that whole using Global Warming to enslave humanity thing, I think we'll be okay if we genetically engineer a huge hero and have him protect the Earth, I give you the Super-Hero-Global-Man!"

Japan was the first to reply and then everyone replied one after the other, like how it should be, but that's not how these meetings go...

After that everyone soon started fighting. Feliciano sat in his seat, and just watching them. Making sure he kept the frown on his face.

Lovino did what Feliciano always did and pulled out the white flag. He sat there in his seat, just waving it around. At least that way he didnt have to smile anymore, he just had to look scared instead. 'Being Feliciano is hard work' he thought to himself as the scene in front of him esculated further.

A while had past and Lovino was incredibly frustrated. He took that frustration out on the flag, as he just waved it harder.

Feliciano was still sat there in silence frowning, starting to show anger on his face.

Germany stood up, causing all the nations to freeze. He then started yelling. Noone was really paying attention but they all got the point and sat down. Lovino put the flag back in his pocket.

Germany yelled for a while and then stopped.

'I've got to do something...' Lovino told himself. He had no idea what the German was waiting for. He then slowly raised his hand. "Germany recognizes his friend, Italy!" 'Well, clearly you don't, otherwise you'd know I'm not your friend.' Lovino laughed to himself. Then realized he had to say something and yelled the first thing that came to his head with a smile. "PASTAAAA~~" He then sat back down again, as though he'd said nothing.

Germany facepalmed and sat down. America stood back up. "I think that concludes this meeting, dudes!" They stood up and Lovino ran over to Feliciano.

"Hey, Italien!" Germany yelled from behind them. Instinctively, they both turned around, they always did. Feliciano then turned away and walked off, knowing that Germany was talking to Lovino.

"Sì?" "You need to stop yelling random things in meetings! How has pasta got anything to do with Global Warming?!" "Sorry, Germany, uhhhhh... Oi! Fratello! Wait up!" Lovino ran out if the room as fast as he could after his brother. What the hell was he supposed to reply with?

But little did he know what that little conversation would cost him...
