A/N: Dreamofdestiny234 doesn't own Hetalia or MLP. I'm sorry to those who've actually read my story. I've been really busy with school and the computer had been malfunctioning since I uploaded chapter 4, but now that's been fixed. However, now chapter 5 is up and this is the upcoming one. I hope you enjoy!
Ludwig paced back and forth, worry and frustration evident in his expression, hardly noticing as Inkwell entered the room. "Ludwig, is…is everything alright?" The mare asked in a cautious voice. "Ja." Ludwig answered, but the other looked unconvinced. "Oh, come now. What is it?" Inkwell tried again. "It's… He still hasn't come back," the earth pony replied. Ludwig's tail twitched, giving off his worry, which only caused Inkwell to frown at him. "He might just be running late." The unicorn said in a hopefully reassuring voice. "Somezhing is wrong, Inkwell," Ludwig spoke, his eyes darkening. Inkwell didn't reply, only letting lose a light. If he still hadn't returned after a couple days then something really had happened.
Gilbert's wings flapped behind him, making sure to keep a close eye on the stallion, who'd taken an odd interest in him and Francis. The earth pony still had not taken off his cloak and led the way to a small home, which was beige-white in color. Francis remained by Gilbert's side, his ears laid slightly back, as the cloaked pony pushed open the front door. "Would you care to tell us your name?" Gilbert asked. "Oh, I am very sorry. I am Ivan," the earth pony smiled back. He finally pulled back his cloak, revealing a light ash-gray stallion, a silky beige scarf wrapped around his neck. Gilbert gave him a wary look and finally tucked his wings back, relaxing somewhat, as Ivan smiled at the Pegasus. "You are hungry, yes?" The gray equine asked. "Well…yes…" Gilbert admitted. He didn't want to take any chances with this new pony, but it was the best he could do for Francis, who still hadn't said a word. "What is your friend's name?" Ivan continued. "His name is Francis," Gilbert spoke briskly. "I will not harm you. You are guests in my home." The very…unique…stallion smiled, fixing up a cup of hot chocolate. He handed it over to the light blue earth pony, who only blinked and started sipping on the drink. Gilbert uncurled his wings and spread them in a protective gesture around Francis as the duo finally drifted off to sleep.
