DISCLAIMER: I don't own the characters of Hetalia or maraschino cherries.

Note: This probably won't sound like my writing. Because it's not. Nope, I didn't finally go crazy and steal the story of another author. This is my friend's story she asked me to post because she doesn't have an account. And I did. She is REALLY good at writing funny stories so please enjoy it!

The drinks of the dinning companions were brought to the table. Unfortunately, the drink of the Nation sitting across from them contained a maraschino cherry, (you know, those food coloring and corn syrup soaked cherry things) which the nation happened to hate to the point of freaking out and though Prussia pointed out that:

" That cherry had been tortured so much it hardly qualified as a cherry." He still objected.

Prussia then reached over with a fork that happened to be handy and fished the cherry out of his drink.

"Ok so what do I do with this?" He asked, not having thought that far ahead.

"That's kind of your problem, isn't it?" commented Hungary, looking amused by his plight.

"Did you have to use my salad fork to remove the offending fruit object?" complained Austria.

"That was yours?"

"I demand that you switch salad forks with me at once!"

"Fine, I will trade my awesome fork for your incredibly lame and soda covered one."

"Thank you."

Prussia continued to wave the cherry around in confusion, considering his options:

a) Throw it at Hungary or Austria and say "no gimmes",

b) Hide it in his soup,

c) Carefully place it on Mr. I-play-chopin-on-the-piano-when-angery-instead-of-yelling-profanities-like-normal-people's head...

-"Why don't you just feed it to the gilbird you insisted on bringing?"

"The dye makes him orange." said Prussia, finally figuring out a solution and dropping it into his lemonade.

In the car on their way home, Hungary turned to Austria,

"Why did we invite him anyway?"

"He blackmailed me."

THANKS CANADA!

A Note from the Author: Thank you for reading, and the surly gnome on a treadmill that powers my computer thanks you fanfiction writers who are way better then me for giving him something to read. Yes, much of this actually happened and I apologize to the people who were actually there for all the stuff I made up and the fact that I didn't give you a real character, England.
