I do not own Hetalia, also this is my first Hetalia fanfiction so please bear with me on it. Its not that good so if you leave a comment please be nice!

The heat was almost unbearable during the summer days, most of the time people would go to friends or go to the beach. For one girl she preferred to stay home and spend time with her brother and sometimes his friends. For a while now she as lived with her brothers at house, which they didn't mind. Her name was Berlin which is what most people call her, her brother on the other hand call her Vanessa. Her brothers are Germany and Prussia bother are older, and you could tell there were related. She had her brother Germany's blond hair but her brother Prussia's red eyes, she was sorter then them too. Being the only girl out of four kind of made her more tougher then most of the girls she has met. She had three bothers but one died a long time ago during a war, its sad losing a sibling.

Sighing she sat on the couch flipping one the TV and going throw the channels for something to watch. With another sigh she turned it off and sat there absolutely nothing was on, running a hand throw her blond bangs she got up. Her stomach growled telling her it was time to make something to eat, these where the times she wished Italy was here to cook. Walks into the kitchen she went throw the cabinets on the hint for something that looked appealing. But right now she didn't feel like cooking so she grabbed a bag of chips and plopped down on the couch. Turning the TV back on she slouched being one leg up while the other rested on the ground. Half way throw a random show footsteps came from the stares, singling someone was up. Most likely it was her brother Gilbert since Ludwig was out training, he got up the same time as her. She looked up and smiled as he entered the living room rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Your up kinda late" she said softly turning back to the TV,

"The awesome be does get up late, you just get up too early" he commented back, she just giggled and shrugged her shoulder. He walked away disappearing behind the kitchen door, she looked at the time on her phone. Ludwig would be back in a few minutes from training his two friends, most of the time she joined them but today she just didn't feel like it. Just like she said no less then a few minutes later the blond haired german came walking throw the door with Japan and Italy. Standing up she turned around and walked over to the front door, before she could reacted Italy glomped her into a hug.

"Berlin!" he yelled happily, she hugged him back then bowed at Japan who bowed back.

"Hello, Berlin" he said calm and softly

"Hey guys how was training?"

"It was okay" Ludwig replied taking off his hat and setting it down on the table, she was still hugging her best friend. Ever since she started to live with Ludwig Italy has been so nice to her, they became instant best friends. Nodding she turned her head just as Gilbert was walking back from the kitchen, a smirk plastered his face like normal,

"Vhat are you losers and Van doing?" he asked standing behind his little sister wrapping his arms around her shoulders protectively.

"Nothing, Gil, just hanging around" she looked up red eyes meeting red eyes he kissed her forehead and backed away heading towards the stairs. Ludwig had already made his way to the kitchen to eat something after a long morning of training, Japan and Italy followed.

"I'm having some friends over Ludwig" Gilbert yelled from his room upstairs, Berlin standing in the hallway still looked at the stairs then the kitchen door as the two brothers bickered back and forth in German. She had remembered that Gil was having Antonio and Francis over but for got when it was. The last time that Tony was here he had brought tomatoes with him, his tomatoes where always the best. Even thought she was german and didn't really like tomatoes all that much, his where the exception. She liked Gilbert's friends, they where always nice to her and where even her friends as well. The first time she met Francis he tried to hit on her but Gilbert almost punched him in the face.

Berlin started to giggle at the memory of Francis' face when her big brother hand him by the shirt. Both of her brothers where protective of there sister but in a different way, Gilbert was more of the fatherly protective. Ludwig was protective when it came to her staying out to late or not saying where she is when she leaves. Snapping out of her day dream she walked over to the door that was being knocked on, opening it she saw her two friends.

"Hola!" a happy spanish man called his hair was brown and his eyes forest green, yup, this was Spain. He walked in pulling the blonde girl into a hug, giggling she hugged the Spaniard happily. When he released her someone grabbed her hand kissing it, she smiled down at the blonde man

"tu es superbe comme toujours" he said soft with a deep voice,

"Its nice to see you two Francis" as he stood upright yelling came from the kitchen, Italy must of made a mess while cooking again. Berlin let a little giggle

"I should go before my big brother kills him" she waved to the two and ran to the kitchen, opening the door a puff of white powder exploited all over her. Closing her eyes just before it hit, slowly she opened them looking around the now white kitchen. Everyone was covered in flour, from head to toe, Germany had stopped yelling to look at who had come in. Red orbs met his sky blue eyes, he let out a sigh and straighten himself pinching the bridge of his noise. Italy ran over and hid behind the girl even thought he was taller then her,

"Van help me! Germany's trying to kill me!" he cried shoving his face onto her shoulder, Van let out a small laugh and patted her friends head. Another sigh came from the german male as the Japanese male stayed silent, Japan just looked at his now white clothes.

"It's alright Feli, vhy don't you and Kiku go get changed and ve'll clean this up" he nodded and walked out in his normal happy state, Japan followed after him mumbling something in japanese. The younger girl turned to her brother who was already starting to get cleaning supplies out.

"Vanessa, go change I'll clean up Italy's mess" he said his thick german accent making itself noticed. Berlin shock her head walking over picking up a rag

"No vay and I letting you clean up by yourself" she said starting to clean down the counter tops, knowing it was no use in arguing with his little sister he cleaned as well. An hour and a half later the two sat on the floor back to back resting their legs, it was not an easy job. Berlin looked to the side meeting her brothers eyes a smiled appeared on her face as she turned to face him. Germany did the same turning to his sister crossing his legs as did she, he smiled at her. Even thought she was stubborn and had his big brothers eyes he still loved his baby sister.

"Vell ve finally finished cleaning" she started running her hand throw her bangs pushing them to the sides "vhat now?"

"Lets go make sure that Italy didn't destroy anything else vhile ve vhere cleaning" he said standing up reaching out his hand to her, smiling she grabbed it and pulled herself up with the help of Germany. Side by side the two walked out and followed the sound of the italians loud and excited voice. Along with it where Gilbert, Antonio, and Francis' voice, the five of them must of been together. Walking into the living room a burst of laughter came from them except Japan, he only smiled. Looking from one to another they walked in confused on what was going on while they where cleaning. Gilbert was sitting in the arm chair while Antonio and Francis where in the love set, Italy and Japan shared the couch. Italy saw the two walk in and jumped up grabbing Berlin's hand

"Van, come sit by me!" he beamed setting the two of them down Germany sat down between his sister and Japan. The talking continued with the BTT talking about their usual stuff, Italy yelling pasta, Germany yelling at Italy, Berlin yelling at Germany to stop him from yelling at Italy, and Japan sensing the mood and refraining from speaking. Germany turned and started to talk to Japan, at this time Italy turned to his friend with a large smile.

"Hey Van, do-a you wanna come spend the-a weekend at my house?" He asked, Berlin had never been to his home and has always wanted to go, a large smile appeared.

"Yes of course I vould!" Italy's smiled grew brighter, the weekend was three days way this would be her first time out of Germany in so long. This was going to be the best weekend ever. That night while she sat in her room reading her book she decided that it might be best to pack now. Putting her bookmark in the book she set it down on the nightstand standing up and pulling out a bag from her closet. The bag was colored like the german flag, opening her dresser she took out two pairs of pants and a shirt. Placing them in the bag she walked to the closet pulling out three shirts and her uniform jacket. For now that would be enough so she set the bag at the end of her bed, sighing Berlin looked over at the clock. It was already eleven at night and was time to turn in for the night, she brushed her teeth and got changed into her pjs.

Just as she pulled the blanket up to her chest a knock came from the door, she yelled for them to come in. The door opened and the albino german walked in his eyes he walked over pulling her close to him kissing her head.

"Gute Nacht, Schwester" he said hugging her tightly,

"Gute Nacht, Gilbert" she whispered before turning towards the door yelling "Gute Nacht, Ludwig!" after a minute she got a response from him saying good night as well. Gilbert left closing the door behind him, laying down she closed her eyes but her mind was on one thing, going to Italy. Italy hadn't been over since yesterday and wouldn't until it was time for her to visit him, he was going to pick her up. Her excitement wasn't hard to mess, as smile was always on her face even when her brothers did something annoying. That Thursday she walked around the house humming to herself tomorrow was the day. Around two she was sitting in the back yard with her dog, Midnight, a German Shepherd his fur was pure black. Berlin throw a tennis ball across the yard as her one year old dog ran after it to bring it back. As the he dropped the ball into her hand Gilbert walked out and stood next to her throwing it again.

"Playing vith the dog again" he said she looked up and nodded "vhy vhen you can come hang out vith your awesome brother!" he said raising his voice at the awesome part,

"Cause your a loser" she commented smiling and sticking her tough out at him he looked down at her in shock

"Loser? I think you have me confused with Ludwig"

"No, he's awesome your a loser" his face turned kind of dark and thats when she took off in a run, Gilbert was right be hind her.

"I'll show you vhos a loser!" he yelled a laugh erupted from her lips he was not far behind her she tried to turn sharp corners to distract him but it didn't work. Ludwig walked throw the front door back from his own little self training, as he shut the door Gilbert ran by and up the stares. He stood there for a minute wondering why his brother was running in the house when he told him not to. He's have to scold him again later, first figure out why he was running in the first place. It seemed like he was trying to get away from something or someone. He opened his mouth then closed it when the back door slammed open with great force. And in walked a very soaked and angry looking Berlin, Ludwig's eyes widened and his mouth fell open.

"Vanessa! Vhat happened?" she took a couple of steps forward anger still flaming in her eyes

"Vhere... is... Gilbert" she whispered loud enough for him to hear but quiet enough so that Gilbert couldn't. He just pointed up the stares and watched as she slowly walked up them leaving a puddle of water behind. He then realized what had just happened and why his brother was running like a maniac. The german just shrugged his shoulders knowing that his brother will get what he deserves. This wouldn't be the first time that Berlin would beat up her brother for a prank he pulled on her. Ludwig walked to his own room and shut the door sitting on the bed, everything was quite and peaceful. Until, out of no where german words where being yelled and thuds where heard from downstairs.

Ludwig was proud of his little sister, he taught her how to fight and defied herself from others. She was quite the strong little girl, then again she lived with two older brothers and before that with Holly Roman Empire. Things became quite again, Ludwig listened for a minute to make sure that Gilbert was still alive. Berlin's door shut and three knocks on the ceiling where heard, yup still alive.
