Ivan was walking around his house, enjoying the morning silence in his mansion. Although there is a heavy storm outside, it did not ruined his happy mood.

"What a beautiful day, and yet the Mother Nature didn't agree with me. What should I do?" Ivan sigh while slouching on the couch. He pull out his phone and scroll down his Placebook account newsfeed. A picture of a certain blond guy with a lot of food in his hand, caught his eyes. He squint his eyes to read the banner that was hidden behind the guy head.

"Fes..tival.. sure it's a festival.. And judging by the surrounding and amount of food he bought. It's a food festival. Oh well, it wouldn't hurt to pay him a visit as soon as this, right?. Plus, there's a festival been held there." Ivan stand and walk upstairs to change his clothes.

Somewhere in United States

Toris, Raivis and Alexis was walking around the festival compound. Admiring and try not to drool at the delicious food offered by different stalls. Unfortunately, Eduard could not come with them, claimed that he was busy at the moment.

Walking ahead them is Matthew Williams, Alfred's younger brother and the representative of Canada. Currently, Alfred was busy buying and tasting all the food he found, forcing the Canadian to be their tour guide instead. Toris tried to reasoned with him not to force himself to be their tour guide but Matthew insists. Saying that this is a good chance to know about both of them better.

"So.. do you have any preference on what would you like to eat?" ask Matthew. Surprisingly, the three of them heard what he says.

"Umm.. I don't know. Perhaps you could give us some suggestions?" ask Toris

"Well how about Pretzels?. They taste really good with cinnamon and brown sugar"

"Pretzels?" Alexis ask while tilting his head.

"Oh, it's like a bun but they comes with a shape and on top of it you could put whatever you like. I personally like to put maple syrup on top of it." the three of them nod in understand as Matthew explain it to them.

"Then, let's buy pretzels" Alexis cheer.

Alfred's p.o.v

After I finish my last hot dog, I realize that I already part my ways from Matthew and Toris. 'Oh well, he can handle them'

However, as I about to buy another pizza, someone tap my shoulder. Automatically, I look behind. "Uh oh"

"Why you sound like you disappointed to see me, Alfred?"ask Ivan. Behind him was Natalia who look beautiful more than usual with a light purple floral dress hugging her curves. She was clutching on her brother sleeves, maybe she's afraid to lose him in this massive crowd.

"Well, it's because someone as beautiful as Nat have to stuck with you"

"Want me to cut you then?" Natalia threaten me.

"It would be an honor but sorry keep that for next time." I try to joke with her but I know she always take things seriously. "Well, what are you doing here?".

"I saw your picture in Placebook, so I thought to spend my day off here." Ivan answer.

"I came to accompany brother." say Natalia .

"Bruh, don't you like have a really big sunflower field behind your house?"

" A heavy storm occur at my place".

'Well, the more logic reason for him to come here..but shit. I need to warn Mattie about Ivan'

"You know, how about I show you around? It's easier when you have The Hero around"I proudly puff out my chest. Natalia scoff in annoyance.

"Oh, isn't that a great idea, Natalia?"

"B-brother you didn't take that suggestion seriously, aren't you?"

"Perhaps you could show us around then?" Ivan look at Natalia

Natalia sigh in defeat. "Fine. Even though I've stayed here before, it's too foreign to me now."

"Alright, let's go"

Back to Matthew

After what it seems like buying tons of food because Alexis ask for them, they settle down on an empty table provided by the sponsors.

"We sure buy a lot. Think this could last until dinner" Toris chuckle

"Mhm. Eduard must have regret once we bring back all of this."say Raivis

"We won't bring this back. I'll finish all of this" Alexis insists and he start to chomping on French Fries.

"We sure meet a lot of them today. I think I saw those ASEAN countries just now" Matthew remember as he saw Maya fighting with her sister again.

"Oh, I think I saw Sealand and Wy too" say Raivis and he gulp down his Coke.

"Hahahaha when it comes to food, everyone would have come along and have fun, isn't it?" Toris chuckle for second time and munch on his wedges. "Oh, these wedges taste great especially with cheese"

"Ooohh. Sove some po me"

"Alex, munch on your food first, then talk"

Alex gulp down his food "I say. Save some for me, Papa"

"Sure. And slowly eat your food. I don't want you to have stomach ache later on"

"Okay~"

After taking the last bite on the last food, Alex slouch down on the chair and sigh in relief. "Hah, they are really delicious until I feel like eating them again, but I'm too full" he pat his stomach.

"Growing boy sure eat a lot isn't it, Toris?" Matthew wipe sauces that smudge at Alexis's cheek

"Yes. But I can't complaint since we're also eat a lot due to our country rapid growth"

"That.. I couldn't argue. But, at the moment.. I only wish for my height to be a little higher. If this continue..even Alex would be taller than me" Raivis sigh in depressed. He was embarrassed every time people would mistook Raivis as Alexis little brother especially when he was needed in sending or picking Alexis from his kindergarten.

"Well, at the very least, you have a lot of fans because you're cute, Raivis" Toris try to coax him. However, Raivis could only sigh about it. Suddenly, a moan of pain comes from Alexis. He was clutching on his stomach.

"P-Papa... I want to go toilet..ouch"

"W-wait hold on. I'll pick you up. Don't move and hold on" Toris quickly put Alex on his hip and rush towards nearby toilet. At the same time, Matthew phones ring.

Back to Alfred

"Woah, you sure buy a lot of food more than me, aren't you, commie?"

"Hmm? I just simply buy if it looks tasty" say Ivan while munching on his chocolate pretzels. Natalia was walking beside Ivan, but this time Ivan hand was wrap around his sister waist protectively as the crowd getting bigger.

"What about you Nat? Don't you buy anything?" Alfred look at the stoic face woman as she did not buy anything except eating on whatever food Ivan buy.

"Nah. He promise to treat me" Natalia was slurping on her strawberry juice when she suddenly stop on her track. "I need to go to toilet". She handed Ivan her drink and walk away.

"Will she be fine by her ownself?" Ivan ask

"Grow up, commie. She's already a woman, for god sake" Alfred walk ahead of him and he took out his phone and call someone.

"Yeah, Matthew speaking" Matthew's voice ring from the other side.

"Where are you?"

"At the tent with them"

"Good. Are Toris with you?" Alfred took a glance at the Russian who was too engrossed looking around for delicious food.

"Woah, what's wrong?. And no, but Raivis with me. Currently, Toris take Alex to toilet"

"Commie is here. He came with Nat"

"Roger. Got th-"

"And look around for Nat too. She went to toilet just now"

"Got that". With that Alfred end his conversation and put away his phone. He was glad that Ivan did not saw him making a call."Hey, how about we wait for Nat under the tree over there?"

"Da. Great idea"

"Didn't I tell you too eat slowly, Alex?" Toris was helping Alex too wash his hand on the sink after he finally done doing his business.

"I did"

"Which part? The part when only I'm looking at you while you're eating?" Toris smirk

Alex try to hid his grin under his palm but failed. "Alright, you got me" Toris immediately tickle the young boy.

"Pa,no-haahhaha- stop. Sorry-hahahahha- I'm sorry" Alex struggle under his father embrace as he tickle them on his stomach.

"Well, no more lying too me, little man"

"At least not now~" Alex run from his father embrace towards outside of the toilet. However, he was suddenly bump on someone making him fall on his butt.

"Are you okay?" A woman voice ask him.

"I-I'm sorry, miss. I accidentally bump on you"

"ALEXIS!" Toris shout as he saw Alex fall on the ground. He immediately went to his son side. "You're alright?"

"Yeah.. I didn't look around while running, Papa" Little tears start to form at the edge of his eyes.

"Alright, alright. Come here" Toris hug Alexis and put him on his hip.

"I'm sorry again miss. It's my fault that I didn't look after him properly" Toris bow as an apologize

"N- no. It's okay. I understand. More importantly, is your son alright?"

"He's fine. No worries."

"Well... I take my leave now. Take care"

"Have a good day" Toris smile at her before she could walk away.

"Thank you"

Toris stay there for a while until the woman lost in the sea of human. He pat Alexis hair as Alex sniffle on his father chocolate jacket. As he turn around to walk back where Matthew waiting for him. There stood Alexis mother.

"N-Natalia"

"Nice to meeting you again, Toris"

Yeah.. I decided to make this chapter a festival for food cuz who doesn't love them~

And Maya is actually Malaysia and the one she always fighting with is Indonesia, her big sister. But seriously, it's just like siblings fight nothing serious.
