"Hmm…I guess Liet isn't in right now," Estonia shrugged as he turned and walked off Lithuania's doorstep. "That's alright, maybe I can talk to someone else who might know something about how Finland is doing."

Estonia pulled his eyes up from the ground and shrieked. Not because he saw Lithuania walking up his own sidewalk, but because he saw Lithuania walking up his own sidewalk wearing nothing but a thong and accompanied by Poland in a similar state of undress.

"Umm…" Lithuania turned the same shade of wicked hipster pink that Poland's walls were painted "I can explain-"

Estonia frantically waved his hands in front of him "No! It's quite alright! I shouldn't have tried to come over without calling first. I'll come back when you're not, um, having somebody stay the night…"

"ESTONY THE BRONY!" Poland waved "What's up playa? No worries dude, I'm not even staying the night. Liet just had me come over so we can take some wicked awesome pictures of ourselves like this."

"I promise that's not what it sounds like," Lithuania squeaked in a small voice.

"Eh? What do you mean dude? What's it even supposed to sound like? Anyways, what are you doing here so totally late Estonia? Shouldn't you be home feeding your mochies?"

"Well…" Oh gosh, they were wearing underwear with each other's faces on it even. Estonia hoped mochi America hadn't used up all the house bleach by trying to turn it into another food condiment. Estonia would need it for his brain.

"I uh, just came to see if you might know anything about Finland acting unusual lately," although this all made Finland's newfound friendship with a Magic 8 Ball seem relatively normal.

"Hmm…" Lithuania pondered "Actually, now that you mention it…"

"Yeah dude! We totally just saw him in this weird rainbow-skied place with some scary looking blonde guy riding a zebra-striped Clydesdale. I only know this because the scary looking blonde guy hired me to be a tour guide because I'm so totally a hipster."

"Oh dear…" Estonia replied, his fears for Finland increasing exponentially.

"Vhat's this about Finland?" asked a soft, purring voice from the shadows.

Everybody jumped and huddled together in terror as Russia stepped out of the bushes.

"Oh? Not vanting to share with me about it?" Russia frowned "So sad, first you move out and now ve never talk anymore."

"Yo, I think we should totally take those pictures another time. Later Liet!" Poland hopped onto one of his ponies and was gone in a flash, leaving Lithuania and Estonia alone to deal with Russia.

"Vat is happening vith Finland?" Russia asked again, receiving only frightened faces as a reply.

"I see," Russia smiled "Vell no vorries…sure as snowfall I vill find out." He pulled out a cell phone and started dialing.

"Oh and by the vay," Russia turned back to face Lithuania "Not the best choice of undervear my friend. The ones all of you vore vith the Soviet Flag pattern back in the day vere a lot better." He slipped back into the shadows.

Finland…Estonia thought with dread in his heart I am so sorry. If you weren't in trouble before, you are now. This wasn't what I wanted to happen at all.

Reader dudes: I love all of you! I couldn't ask for a more fun or fantastic audience. I'm leaving on vacation to Florida with my family today, so my updates may become less frequent since I must share the internet.

Also, my family members are all sweethearts, but they don't all approve of gay relationships, so it'll be a trick finding times to write when their curious eyes aren't fixated on my computer screen. But I will still write and update as often as I can. I think about this story almost every waking minute, and in the romantic setting of Florida you can bet I'll be thinking of it even more and writing it whenever I can.

Love all around!
