AN: I'm sorry for this taking so long, school started and j got lazy and stressed. I love you all for reading! The characters are all busy and from now on they'll be a rare occasion in the ANs. Also, this is only edited by me this time so if you see anything weird tell me please! I'd love constructive criticism.

Disclaimer: No one here owns nothing. It's fanfiction for a reason.

After the end of the school day, Arthur Vlad and Lukas headed to the apartment they bought for their stay, and of course, the second they enter Vladimir complains about being hungry, loudly. That brat always finds a way to tick the other two off.

"Fine! I'll cook if you'll shut your bloody mouth!" Arthur growled out.

"I'm suddenly not hungry anymore." Vlad said as all color drained from his face.

"Well you were just complaining about it." Arthur commented with bitterness in his voice.

"Will you two shut up, you're being just as annoying as Danmark." Lukas commented.

The blonde Norwegian walked into the kitchen and looked in the fridge. "Plus we don't have any food. So it doesn't matter who cooks."

"Then let's go shopping!" Vlad said excitedly, maybe Lukas would let him get candy. (Keep dreaming Vlad.)

"I'd rather not. I have a slight headache and noisy places won't make it better. But if you could pick up some tea that would be splendid." Arthur commented.

"Sure." Lukas said. He's been around Arthur enough to know what types of tea he drinks. "Come on Vlad, we're leaving."

The two walked out the door and left him alone. Arthur walked to his shared bedroom with Vlad, they all agreed that Lukas made the room freezing and it would be better not to suffer the cold at night, so he got his own room.

He looked to his bed, it was pretty nice, green bedsheets and gold pillows were on a nice mattress being held up by a large, fancy looking, wooden frame.

He laid down on the bed and started to wonder if they would be interrupted by other countries, and how chaotic that would be. England was seriously surprised that America hasn't come to annoy them. He knows that they're in his country, he could sense when another nation came into his borders like everyone else. The only time you couldn't would be if you're under a spell or if you're country is at war.

Lukas dragged Vlad away from all the shiny things or fun looking things that caught his interest. When they finally reached where the tea was for Arthur Lukas had had enough. When Vlad continued to be a hyperactive pain in the ass, he finally slapped him upside the head. I know, surprising, he's restrained himself for a good ten minutes.

"Oww... Lukey, why'd ya do that?" He whined.

"You're annoying, and don't call me 'Lukey'" he growled out.

Maka, hearing the voices of two familiar blondes, walked up to the two.

"Hey!" She said with a smile and a wave.

"Oh, hei Maka." Lukas said calmly.

Vlad smiled and waved like a mad man. "Hiii~!"

Maka chuckled at his childlike greeting.

"What are you two doing here?" She asked striking up conversation, "and where's Arthur?" She asked.

"We don't have any food currently and he's at home with a headache." Vlad said distracted. He was looking at cheese. Why, well what's the fun in telling you, dear reader. Aka: it's going to be explained later.

"Oh, well after you two are done shopping would you like to come over to me and Soul's dorm? We're having Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki, and Black*Star over."

"Sure. Arthur's headache should be gone by then. And if not we'll just leave him some tea and he'll sulk like the old man he is!" Vlad's attention was back on them.

"Why were you looking at cheese?" Lukas asked, they weren't planning on buying any but the Romanian might want some. You never know. (It's awful with no cheese! My parents don't buy any anymore D:)

"Oh, I just noticed the Romano cheese." He snickered.

Lukas sighed, "you just now made that connection?"

"Yep!"

Maka chuckled again. "Do you guys need any help shopping? I know my way around here."

"That would be greatly appreciated." Lukas said.

Once they were finished shopping Vlad opened the door to their apartment.

"Iggy~!" He called.

Lukas sighed.

"Shut up bloody git." Arthur snapped.

"Still have that headache?" Lukas asked putting away the groceries.

"No, but he ruined the peace and quiet I was having for once. Usually the bloody frog or that stupid American ruins it, luckily they aren't here though."

"You know, that 'stupid American' isn't as stupid as you say. He could easily find us." Lukas commented in the kitchen.

"Yes, yes. I know. He was my brother after all."

Maka, having followed them so she could show them where she lived, took notice of the 'was' Arthur used when referring to his brother. She wondered what happened.

"Don't start getting all sappy now Iggy." Vlad said, a smirk in his voice.

"Don't call me that wanker." Arthur shot back with a glare.

Romania just laughed it off.

"Oh, Maka, you can come in." Lukas stated noticing she was standing awkwardly outside of the door.

"Thank you." She said with a smile.

They all talked until Lukas finished putting up the groceries.

"Are we ready to go." Lukas asked.

Maka and Arthur nodded while Vlad continued to talk.

Lukas moved closer to Vlad and repeated, "are, we, ready, to go?" He pronounced each word clearly.

"Yes, mom." Vlad rolled his eyes.

The price he payed for that was a slap upside the head.

Vlad squeaked as Lukas glared saying, "I am not a woman. Do. Not. Refer to me as one or it'll be much worse."

Arthur and Maka laughed while Vlad looked terrified, that of course caused Arthur to laugh harder.

When they arrived everyone else was already there.

"Hey guys," Maka said happily, "I hope you don't mind, I brought Arthur, Vlad, and Lukas."

The three walked inside the room. Of course Blair chose that moment to come in.

"You're such a cute kitty!" Romania said happily. He picked her up and started cuddling with her... until she turned into her human form.

Blair started to hug him and it totally surprised Vlad, however, he quickly got over it and hugged her back. Not noticing the face full of breast he got.

Lukas and Arthur did notice on the other hand. Arthur blushed and Lukas slapped the ignorant country.

When Blair looked up and saw the two other boys she asked, "do either of you cute boys wanna take a bath with me?"

Arthur's blush turned a violent red and he started sputtering profusely.

"Um- no- uhh..." He only ever got comments like that from the French frog.

Lukas stared indifferently.

"Blair!" Maka yelled.

"Fine, you're no fun." She pouted slightly.

She pulled Vlad into a possessive hug. It was weird how not sexual it was. That was surprising when it came to Blair.

Arthur laughed wondering how he could ever go into a small isolation with friends like these, that brought him back to the early 20th century.*

"So tomorrow Lord Death wants me and Soul to go to Italy for a mission, he asked if you would join us." Maka told Lukas.

"Sure, what city?" He asked.

"Around Florence." She replied.

"Hmmm, we have a friend there. I think the only one who truly enjoys his company is Vlad though. He's also scared of Arthur and just doesn't really talk to me. He does talk to anko when they're both drunk though." He sighed at the end. That was the most he's said in one sitting for awhile.

"It's not symmetrical." Kid said pointing to Norway's hair curl.

Norway sighed a bit. Not this again.

The gathering continued with Black*Star proclaiming himself the star, Arthur saying that it's another Gilber and now all they need is Francis and Antonio, Vlad reminding Arthur that Antonio's not a bad guy, Liz and Patty restraining Kid from pulling Lukas' curl, which he succeeded in once. Lukas locked himself in a closet for 30 minutes with a red face after that. Tsubaki apologized for everyone and Vlad and Blair became BFF's.

While all was good now, they were going to meet two very important people that would play major roles in their lives, for better or for worst.

And... Cut! Got that done. Figured out how to reply to reviews through messaging! Yay! :D

*Arthur laughed wondering how he could ever go into a small isolation with friends like these, that brought him back to the early 20th century. That was a reference to the twenty-first episode of Hetalia: World Series. Bubbly12, that's your hint ;)
