A/N: I was going to finish the Spring Holidays up. But then I realized I can't. xD I still have a few plans for our darling cast. I certainly hope you will like what I'm planning. So without further ado, here it is.

And if you haven't figured it out by now: I don't own Hetalia.

Getting to Lovina: A Story of Hetalia Academy

Chapter 14: Idle Hands and Minds Make for Fun

"Veeeeee~! Luddy! Don't you love being on planes? I think it's just so much fun! Look at how pretty the sky is!"

Feliciana leaned over the stiff German in order to get a clearer view of the window. Ludwig grimaced slightly, still feeling rather awkward around the hyper Italian. Despite the fact they had been officially dating for around three months and best friends for much, much longer, Ludwig still felt shy and embarrassed around Feliciana. The tips of his ears turned bright red as she giggled happily next to him.

"Yes, Feliciana, it is very nice."

"Ve~ Luddy is the best!"

Sakura looked upon the couple very great fondness from her seat across the aisle. The Greek boy next to her was already dozing off, having warned her that he most likely would the moment he got on the plane. Sakura had simply smiled and assured him that it was completely fine. Heracles had blinked sleepily and nodded solemnly in response. It was the way they had been communicating for a while now, and although it confused Feliciana to no end, they both knew perfectly clear what the other meant.

"Sakura."

The petite Japanese girl blinked, feeling startled. She turned away from Feli and Ludwig to see Heracles smiling at her. She smiled back tentatively.

"Ah, it seems like you have woken up, Hera-kun. Are you enjoying the plane ride?"

Heracles tilted his head. "Yes. Sometimes I still feel in awe of how we were able to design all of this, but in the end, I guess our power of our minds is what really led us to become all of this."

Sakura ducked her head to hide a smile. Heracles had a reputation for being a sleepy and often slow-witted boy, but once he began to talk about philosophical ideas, he found it hard to stop.

"Hey Sakura, when do we get to Japan?"

Suddenly, Sakura realized that she had forgotten the fact that Feliciana did not take flights so well. She wondered how long it would be until their transfer flight in Italy.

The first few days of the Spring Holidays passed without much incident at Hetalia Academy. The students became accustomed to the absence of select peers, and resumed their normal weekend-like lives. The faculty was relieved to see that things were at relative peace. Last year, they had dealt with a so-called "awesome" prank rigged by Francis in Gilbert that no one ever dared to mention. Many of the teachers were still scarred by the incident, and they hoped that nothing similar would ever occur. Although Francis was gone, they keep a sharp eye on Gilbert, convinced that the pale-haired boy would wreak some kind of havoc upon the school at some point during the Spring Holidays.

Lovina had gotten tired of sleeping alone in her dorm without Feli's chattering and gushing, so she finally (though reluctantly) moved into Madeleine and Elizaveta's room. The two girls enjoyed a few gossipy, manicured-filled nights along with Emma. Mei's absence had resulted in a rather lonely Emma, and finally, she decided to move in with the spitfire Italian and fierce Hungarian as well. Lovina, being Lovina, refused to sleep on the same bed as anyone, so Emma and Elizaveta happy whispered and giggled throughout the nights. Nearly every night, Lovina would yell at them for being so damn loud.

Antonio and Gilbert often hung out in Gilbert's now horrendously messy dorm. Without Ludwig to keep things in order and the Francis to room with Antonio, the Spaniard was bunking with the obnoxious albino, causing the place to become a bio-hazardous wasteland. Gilbert had no doubt that Ludwig would throw a fit the moment he returned. But alas, the Prussian could care less. He simply allowed things to become chaotic and told himself that "dear ol' Luddy" could take care of things when he got home from his sojourn in Japan. Antonio, being incredibly dense as he was, didn't seem to care about the state of the room.

But alas, time flies, and soon, it was the last Thursday before they would all be rounded up into classrooms once more.

"Yo, chicks!"

The three girls had just finished lunch in the dining hall and were planning to watch a movie in their shared dormitory.

"What, albino bird bastard?" demanded Lovina as Spain swooped in to give her a gigantic bear hug and customary peck on the cheek. "Chi-chigi, not in public, tomato idiot!"

"But Liiina…"

"Hmph."

Elizaveta greeted Gilbert with an affection punch to the arm. "Alright, Gil, what do you want?"

"Kesesesese! Some fun of course! Hey Emma, grab Vashy! We're going to go somewhere awesome!"

"No problems!" chirped the Belgian. Humming happily, she bounced off to tease the stiff Swiss boy into following Gilbert and Antonio to wherever they would be going.

"So where are we going?" inquired Lovina suspiciously as they left the office with off-campus permission slips.

Antonio grinned merrily, his eyes bright with anticipation. "Somewhere muy hermosa, mi querida!"

Lovina rolled her eyes, mumbling under her breath about stupid vague Spaniards. Antonio simply remained ridiculously happy, swinging their intertwined hands back and forth gleefully. Ahead of them, Elizaveta and Gilbert chatted amiably as they strolled arm-in-arm. Lovina's face softened slightly at Elizaveta's contented expression. It made the brunette feel absolutely wonderful to know that Elizaveta was happy once more.

A little ways behind the two happy couples, Emma cheerfully pulled on Vash's arm. The Swiss boy was blushing furiously as he attempted to escape from the Belgian's iron grip. Emma paid his efforts no mind as she simply smiled at him and hummed.

"Err…Emma, can you please let go of my arm?"

Emma paused for a second. It was unlike Vash to ask so nicely.

"Why?" she asked, bewildered by his sudden change in demeanor.

"I-I would like to walk on my own…I, um, don't mind coming along, but you're cutting off the blood circulation in my arm."

Emma grinned in a manner very similar to a cat.

"That's great, Vash! Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The Swiss just blushed even deeper. "You weren't listening."

"Hey guys! We're here!"

A/N: As a reader, I hate cliffhangers. As a writer, I LOVE them. So where did they go? Muha. That is something for you guys to figure out.

And seriously guys: 45 review, near 10,000 hits, 67 favs, and 64 alerts! *blows kisses* I love you guys! This was my first Hetalia fic, and not the best sample of my writing, but your support of it has really kept it going. I LOVE you all.

And I promise I will end the Spring holidays the next chapter. ^^ I just have to cover what they will be doing as well as the others' return in detail. Then an omake and the beautiful epilogue.
