Let's see how many times coasters are mentioned in this chapter!

Forever-sweet and I don't own Hetalia... Or the International House of Pancakes.

"What are you doing with my drink?" Germany stopped Austria, who was holding the other country's glass of water.

"Why weren't you using a coaster in the first place?" he retorted. He sat the glass down on top of a coaster.

Germany decided to ignore the fact that Austria had brought a stack of cardboard coasters with him to the meeting in favor of explaining why he didn't always need one. The words fell on deaf ears though.

"Why can't any of you people realize how essential a coaster is?" he fumed to himself, "This table will get unsightly rings and…" he trailed off when he got an idea.

"Excuse me," he stood up, "I have something to say."

A few nations turned their attention to him. Close enough.

"It has come to my attention that not a single one of you has enough common sense to use a coaster under your various drinks."

"So I'm going to give each of you one," Austria ignored Canada's comment. He sighed and slowly lowered the coaster he had been holding up. The other nation started passing out his stack of coasters.

"These are just those cheap-o ones you get under drinks at restaurants!" America held up his IHOP coaster in protest.

"What? Did you expect me to buy a bunch of new coasters for you all?" Austria said, "It took a long time to- Hey! Use that coaster when I give you one, Finland!"

After a lot of nagging, he finally managed to get everyone in the room to use one of his stolen coasters.

His coaster rules were completely forgotten by the next meeting.
