"Peter! How many times do I have to tell you, you can't drive until you're older!" Finland gently admonished the micronation for his reckless behavior. He had no idea why Sealand suddenly took the car out for a drive but, it was a miracle he was safe. However, the once pristine automobile, was now a mangled piece of metal hugging the tree it had crashed into.
"I'm old enough mom!" Sealand protested "Besides, uncle Denmark was the one who suggested it! And I was driving perfectly well for a minute until I crashed the car!"
Sweden, standing quietly behind Finland, decided he was going to kill the Dane, now knowing who planted the idea in his adopted son's mind.
"Oh really?" Finland asked through a strained smile while pulling Sealand out of the wreak
"Yeah! He said I was old enough to drive! Next week he said he's going to teach me how to be a Viking and Norway wanted to teach me some magic!" Sealand exclaimed proudly while pretending to fight with a sword and cast spells. Finland scooped his son up and handed him to Sweden, who rushed him inside to check for injuries while Finland walked around to the back of their house to fetch his rifle.
As Sweden finished up tending to Sealand inside their bathroom, he sighed, wanting to give Denmark a good beating, but he knew that once Finland was done, he'd get his chance to teach him a lesson.
Later that day, Finland carefully positioned himself on top of the roof, looking down on the driveway like a hawk, waiting for his target to show up.
