Well, I'm back... Lucky I wrote in advance cause I have absolutely NO time to write between chinese classes, chinese classes and chinese classes. You have no idea how lucky you are to even HAVE summer holidays. Cherish them.

Anywho, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! Yes, you! I LOVE YOU!

Reviews are much appeciated.

Taiwan says Hi to you guys, enjoy your summer break! :D

Iceland relaxed. It seemed to have taken forever for the lunch break to arrive! The previously aquarium fish dead nations suddenly sprung to life and formed different groups, some of which stayed in the pink hell while other chose to move to a space with colours that minimized the risk of blindness. Blindness caused by ripping one's eyes out of their sockets of course.

"Hey Russia," started Hungary "Do you want to join Roderich and I for lunch?"

Said nation looked surprised then happy, like kid-getting-an-ice-cream happy. He opened his mouth only to close it again with a frown. After a long inner debate he nodded.

No matter how ridiculous the dare was, a dare was still a dare and Iceland decided to make his move before his family could reach where he sat. "Uhm…" This wasn't as easy as he originally thought. At least he managed to catch the three nations' attention "Could I-" Too desperate. "May I-" Too formal. "Hey dawg-" WHAT THE HELL BRAIN?

Hungary chuckled at his vein attempts, especially since they tainted the Nordic's pale skin with a blushing red "You can eat with us too, Iceland. The more the merrier!" Russia just looked at him with wide eyes, a bit of suspicion and happiness tainting the amethyst orbs.

"Iceland." Norway called. HOLY SHIT WHEN DID HE GET SO CLOSE? Internally screamed the island after noticing his brother was right next to him, as in between his seat and his neighbour's. Not that he hated his brother – or anyone in his family – but he was eager to avoid being interrogated on his more than unusual actions. Hanging around a rumoured psychopath with probable homicidal tendencies wasn't exactly what they could call an everyday occurrence. Fortunately, Norway's thoughts weren't that easy to predict. "That person you were talking to earlier…" he continued, completely ignoring the Russian who was throwing a glare his way "The one playing with a lighter in the lobby… Is she…? Never mind. I'll talk to you when we get home." The odd nation shot a worried look towards Denmark and Sweden who reciprocated, leaving Finland and Iceland very confused.

"Hey Rus!" Denmark smirked "If you hurt a single strand of Ice's hair, my axe will end up lodged in your head, just sayin'." As if to prove his point, the Dane swung his axe playfully in his hand, slowly coming closer until he stood inches away from the world's biggest country. I thought weapons were forbidden in meetings… Oh well. No one even pays attention to the meeting's content, much less to the regulations.

"Ah, so you think you can beat me in a fight? Good, because it's been a while since I ripped anyone's throat." The Russian man answered with a creepy chuckle. He stood up from his seat and towered over the former self proclaimed King of Scandinavia. His iron pipe waited not a second to make an appearance. Again, weapons? Is an iron pipe even considered as a weapon? Technically it's a – Why the hell am I thinking about that now? A tension appeared between the two blonds, one that no one dared to interrupt but Ivan's phone. The Russian anthem tore the tense silence and installed fear in the former USSR members. The tall man grunted, unhappy to interrupt his fight, one of the only times he actually talked to people. Bad company is better than none after all.

The moment he brought his phone to his ears, the threatening aura dissipated, leaving a pouting and innocent looking Russia. "No, I wasn't – Fine maybe a little but – Nyet!" At this point, a blush crossed his face "I – I can't… It's not like he'd believe me anyway! No one believes what I say!" His blush deepened as he realized everyone heard that last complaint "Fine." He finally huffed.

Hungary received a message shortly after and held back giggles as she read it. She turned to Russia a bit hesitantly before revealing the content to him "Looks like you have no choice but to comply, unless you really want a random teenage girl following you dressed as a little pony and shouting 'Dad! Why won't you tell me what intercourse is?' in the middle of Moscow." She said low enough for only Iceland, Austria, herself and Russia to hear. It didn't take long for Iceland to understand the woman was talking about Irene.

Right. The reason I'm stuck with Russia for the whole day.

He had his first encounter with Irene that very morning in the lobby. Emil had continued talking to her even after his brother had left for the meeting, which explained why he was the last one to arrive. In conclusion: she was exactly as Hong Kong had described her except for one thing he might have forgotten to mention, the fact the girl was completely out of it. It took Iceland three times to get her attention and he had to steal the lighter she was playing with to do so. At least now he confirmed Russia's a hundred an eighty degree change of personality when around or speaking to Irene. Really, he went from a bloodthirsty giant to an embarrassed teenager who couldn't say no to his mom. Irene as Ivan's mom. The teenage island shivered at the picture.

"Denmark," Russia said while taking a deep breath "I – I am sorry for being a violent and scary guy." Everyone was taken aback. Russia… Apologizing? To Denmark? Now that was unheard of. And highly suspicious. A nation in the back could even be heard asking where was Russia and what had he done to him. Then another one followed proclaiming he was trying to deceive everyone. They all agreed. And that's when Iceland saw the extent of Russia's troubles. Not a single nation that hadn't talked to Hong Kong or Irene trusted the guy. Hell, he didn't trust the guy after all Ivan had done for him.

A look at the giant's face was enough to be taken by an overwhelming wave of pity. A fake smile was plastered on his face, hiding an emotion that could range from pure evilness to waterfall of tears sadness. It was heart breaking to think only he, Russia and four other nations knew it was the latter. And terrifying to think all the others were so blinded by hatred they only saw the former.

"We should go eat somewhere else." Emil suggested. He couldn't bear looking at other's people's expressions of distrust and hatred when he knew his wasn't so different until only the day before.

"Yes, maybe it is a - " Austria started before being interrupted by Denmark, whose face had turned into a scowl.

"I don't know what's going on through your mind Rus, but you are definitely up to something." He growled "Here I was thinking Iceland had a clear reason to sit next to you. I should've have doubted you were planning something the moment you helped him for his economical crisis! I refuse your apology since I know you don't mean it. Come with us, Ice." He finished while grabbing the younger Nordic by the arm.

Iceland yanked his arm away, shocking all the nearby nations, Russia included. "Why…?" the Russian asked slightly confused at the sudden attachment Emil displayed towards him and partially paralyzed by the dirty looks he was receiving from the few countries who didn't mind the pink.

The teenager sighed "Unfortunately, I'm Hong Kong's best friend and it is not in his habits to keep to himself so naturally, I am stuck in all the shit he gets stuck in… That and a stupid dare."

Russia chuckled at the memory of Hong Kong and Irene "I see… Thank you but you don't have to do anything. I'm used to it by now. On the other hand, your family is waiting for you, da?"

The silver haired boy shrugged "I don't have a choice but to stick with you all day long." Believe me, I'd rather not but I know Xiang's dare can be worst. A lot worst.

"Wait I don't understand." Denmark said "You're going with him? Out of all the people? What the hell did Hong Kong do? What dare? Why – GAH!"

"Shut up. Let's go eat." Norway deadpanned while strangling his fellow Nordic. He showed obvious concern for his brother but nodded in an understanding kind of way. I'll never understand what goes through his head. The younger Nordic sighed, and obviously the same goes for Danmark. The Dane was showering Norway with questions and confused looks but met with no answers.

And after this extremely tense and suspicious scene, all nations ate happily ever after until the meeting resumed.
