A/N: Finally…the most symmetrical chapter. Can you guess why I waited until now to introduce a new character? Symmetry is beauty… sorry. So, according to my friends at school I have no life because I write this story at the end of class instead of socializing. Whatever. That's what band is for. Writing, drawing, band, and church are my life.

Sorry this took a while… I had to write it, type it, and Carl died the other night. Story time!

So, I named my computers. I have two laptops, a net book and a legit laptop. I named the net book Carl and the laptop Irving. Carl needed to be charged the other night, but the charger died. Irving doesn't have Microsoft Word, so I can't type on it. We thought we were going to have to get a new charger cable and everything, but luckily my dad was able to fix it and Carl is better again. Yay Carl!

Ok, so I have to set Japan free. But I did make him cook for me. Yummy!

Alright, let's meet newbie, shall we?

Warnings: Major on Romano's mouth/Theory bombing


Chapter Start


Who is that? Wait… the Italian thought. I do know that person! Could it really be…?

Feliciano almost dropped the cake he was holding. He ran towards the person. "You remembered!" He cried.

The boy turned just in time to be glomped by Feliciano. "Wha- Feli? What do you mean, 'I remembered?'"

"You promised that you'd come back, and here you are! I mean, you didn't promise that you'd specifically come back here… but still. You're back!" Feliciano said happily.

"Oh, that's what you meant."

"I missed you so much, Roma! (1) Fratello said you wouldn't come back, but I didn't believe him." Feliciano thought for a moment. "I don't think he likes you very much. But, wow! I'm so happy to see you. It's been like, forever!"

"Yeah, I suppose it has." Roma said. Oh ****, has he always been a boy? "How did you know it was me?"

"Vee~ I recognized your hat!" The Italian chirped. "Plus, you really haven't changed at all!"

He was quite right. Roma really hadn't changed the way he dressed. He wore a long black long-sleeved shirt, a white bandana, a cross necklace, black jeans, black boots, and a odd black hat with a gold ring around the top edge and a gold spot on one side.

"I guess you're right. You've certainly changed." Is it wrong to still feel the same way I felt about he-him back then now that I know?

"Yeah! I don't really sound like a girl anymore!" Feliciano said. He paused for a moment and thought about saying 'I kind of sound like a homo now' but decided against it. "Oh, you should come meet everyone! I made lots of new friends while you were gone, but there's always room for you!" He grabbed Roma's hand and pulled him along to meet everyone back at the student center.

"Ack, wait, Feli-" Roma cried. What am I supposed to do? He obviously remembers…


"Vee~ We're back!" Feliciano said to the group.

"Good, took you long enough… wait, what do you mean by 'we?'" Lovino asked.

"I found newbie! Turns out he's my really good friend from when I was a little kid!"

Lovino looked at Roma for a moment before narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, wow, this is a lot of people…" Roma muttered. "Umm, hello, my name is Roma." He said rather quietly.

"Where are you from?" Francis asked. He was almost sure that he remembered this boy from somewhere, but he couldn't quite remember where.

"Well, actually, I'm from Germany, but I spent a lot of time in Italy."

"So, are you German or Italian?"

"I'm…Gertalian?" Roma guessed, shrugging. (2)

"Hurray for Italy!" Feliciano said, a little late on his declaration.

Roma glanced over at Lovino and received a very threatening glare.

It's him, I know it. That *******… Lovino thought. He stood up and walked over to the new kid.

"Huh? What's wrong Lovi?" Feliciano asked.

"You *******!" Lovino shouted, hitting Roma.

Roma flinched and took a step back. "What?"

"You **** *******!" he hit him again.

"Lovi, what are you doing?" Feliciano cried, worried about his friend.

Lovino ignored his brother and continued beating Roma. "***-*******, you ******* **** ******! How dare you just desert my brother like that? He missed you so ******* much it hurt me too! Then here you are, like there's not a **** problem!"

Roma managed to block a few hits. "That's what this is about? I didn't want to leave!"

"Then why did you, ***-*******?"

"I had to!"

Lovino hesitated for a moment but hit him again.

"Fratello, please stop!" Feliciano begged. "You're hurting him!"

"He ******* deserves it!"

"No he doesn't!"

"Yes he does!"

Ludwig growled under his breath. This was going a little too far. He lunged forward and tackled Lovino. The Italian yelped and Roma quickly back-pedaled.

"Roma, are you ok?" Feliciano asked.

"Oh umm…. I think so," Roma had actually blocked a few of the hits, but he still took quite a beating. He's worried about me? Wait, if he knew we were both boys back then, does that mean… His thoughts were interrupted.

"I zink ve should take him to ze clinic." Ludwig suggested. "Just to see if he's alright."

"Vee~ Ok, Luddy!" Feliciano chirped, smiling again. "Come on, Roma! The clinic lady is really nice!" He grabbed the other boy's hand and started to lead the way.

Roma blushed slightly and followed, Ludwig walking behind them.


"Ciao, Ms. Clinic Lady?" Feliciano called as they entered the large room.

"Hello, Feliciano. I'm in the back room. Is there something you need?" she replied.

"Si, Lovi beat up my boy- err… friend." (3)

"Oh, I'll be out there in just a second." She finished whatever she was doing and came out. "Well, if it isn't the new student. Rough first day, huh? Oh, could you take off your hat for a moment?"

Roma nodded and set his hat next to him.

"That's a nice looking head wound…" The nurse muttered. "So, are you Ludwig's other brother?"

The two Germans, (or German and half German, not sure….), looked surprised.

"No, this is the first time I've met him." Roma said.

"Ja, I've never met him before." Ludwig agreed.

"That's odd, you two look just like each other. Are you sure you're not twins?" she finished wrapping a bandage around Roma's head. "There. Your hat should cover most of the bandage, 'kay?"

"Oh, danke," Roma said, placing his hat back on his head.

"Grazie," Feliciano paused. "He'll be ok, right?"

"Of course. Lovino didn't hit him that hard. He might have a headache, but he'll be fine. It's sweet of you to worry like that though."

"We're really close. I can't help it! Plus, if I don't worry, who will?" the Italian said, hugging Roma.

Roma froze, his face quickly turning red.

"I think you're embarrassing him." The nurse laughed.

"Oh, sorry Roma." Feliciano let him go. "We should-a get going. The others are probably back at the dorms by now! Ciao!" He led Roma and Ludwig to the dorms.


"Oh, hey guys. How'd you know we'd be here?" Alfred asked.

"We just guessed." Feliciano answered.

"Well, Lovino sure gave you a warm bloody welcome." Arthur said, observing the tiny bit of bandage that poked out from beneath Roma's hat.

"Do you mean that in your weird English-y terms, or literally?" Alfred asked.

"Both."

"Oh, hello. We're glad you're all here. We've finished your new room assignments." One of the ladies at the desk said. "They're over on that wall."


A/N: Hurray for Roma! Lol yay!

Explanations go!

(1)I really didn't know what else to call him. XD but I like it.

(2)I just had to. Seriously. Plus, in history, the Holy Roman Empire was German, but in Hetalia, he was Italian.

(3)LOL fail Feli.

So, I totally just bombed the HRE/Germany theory. I actually have a little theory of my own.

I think that when a Nation is defeated and is no longer a country anymore, the personification becomes a human. So, my explanation for HRE showing up is: Time travel FTW. Now, I also think that when a Nation becomes human, their memories are altered. All the memories they have involving the other countries are changed. They remember the human name of that country and if it was war, it was just a fight. And the memories are all squished so that they don't remember living for a really long time. So, in terms of our main characters, Roma not included, they are all still Nations, but their memories have undergone the altering. So, yes, the human names are universal.

Roma: So… I'm not a Nation?

Me: In terms of this story, nope. You see, since the Holy Roman Empire doesn't exist anymore, Roma (the personification) is an actual human, but he remembers everything that happened to him, except things were altered so that they made since. However, in case of Italy, he only remembers knowing him as 'Feli' therefore not 'Feliciano' which would have been a real clue that he was a boy.

You know what would be really epic? If there was a new micro nation called the New Holy Roman Empire. You know, kind of like how there's the New Prussian Empire. Keep that in mind, future leaders of the world/a single country/part of Europe.

So, since I had to free Japan, review save…Latvia! *kidnaps Latvia* Awwww, he's so cute!

Peace out, ya'll!

(Longest A/N ever….)

Oh yeah! Russia! Do me a favor! Say that thing!

Russia: Ok. Terach does not own Hetalia or any of the characters in this story except for the staff of the campus, da?

Me: Da….

Russia: KolKolKolKol…

Me: Ok! Goodbye now!
