The busy streets were filled with stands and people walking around. Lovino was glad to be away from the noisy caravan. He knew Arthur would scold him but for now, he would enjoy his time out. Dressed in a hooded scarf, he pulled the hood lower so that his face wouldn't be seen as he looked through the stands. A certain ankle bracelet caught his attention and he went up to the stand.
"You like? Buy it! It would look amazing on a beauty such as yourself," the man said as Lovino lifted it into his hand. He bit his lip thoughtfully before another group stepped beside him.
"Jewelery is for girls," a voice beside him said. "Shut up! You don't know anything!" Another scolded. He took a quick glance to see an older man with two teens and a small boy. The lone blonde one stood out greatly compared to the deeper toned ones. He was pale with strawberry blonde hair and a very bored expression as the others looked through the jewelery.
"I don't see why I had to come," he said. Lovino's eyes widened slightly as he saw the fangs slightly exposed as he spoke. "Stop complaining! All your clothes is hideous, I won't be seen with you like that," the eldest said. He quickly turned as the quietest teen turned to him.
"Excuse me. Are you buying that one?" He asked suddenly. Lovino panicked and hid his face beneath the hood. "Y-yes. I am," he replied grasping the ankle bracelet. "I see. I apologize then," he said. "Too bad Gupta. You missed out on a pretty one," the eldest said.
Lovino quickly counted the golden coins before hearing a voice beside him. "There you are. I've been looking all over." He jumped and dropped his coins as he turned to see his youngest brother. "Idiota. Don't sneak up on me," he hissed. He quickly bent down to retrieve his coins before seeing a hand in front of him. He glanced up to see the blonde handing him the coins. "You dropped these," he said.
Lovino stared at his Cuprite eyes for what seemed like hours before feeling the coins dropped into his palm. "T-thanks," he said before pulling his hood lower. He quickly payed and ran off, pulling Marcello by the hand.
Vladimir raised an eyebrow and turned back to his own group. "Was that a foreigner?" Hercules asked. "Don't know, I only saw his lower face," Vlad said. "Well whoever was with him must have been a foreigner," Sadiq said. "Well Kirkland's caravan is here. It isn't rare for them to have traveling fans," Gupta said before picking out a new bracelet. Vlad shrugged it off and followed the trip around buying various items for the show.
Lovino stopped to catch his breath when he was sure he was far enough. "What's up with you?" Marcello asked looking at his brother. "That guy had fangs," Lovino said. "Si. Gilbert is ghostly white, Lukas and Arthur do magic, Kyle puts spiders into his mouth and Dante has two heads," Marcello said.
"Don't group Dante with the freaks," Lovino said scowling. "By the way, did I mention that Dante escaped again?" Marcello said. Lovino sighed and hurried back to the caravan with his younger brother. "By the way, fratello. You sure you just didn't find the guy hot?" Marcello asked with a smirk. "Of course not, idiota. He just stood out," Lovino replied.
"It's about bloody time! Where did you run off too?!" Arthur crossed his arms as he looked at the Italian. "I wanted a new ankle bracelet," he said with a shrug. "That is no excuse to just run off. You threw everyone off balance!" Arthur scolded.
"Lay off him, Arthur. He has to look pretty," Francis teased. "Shut up, Frenchie," the two snapped. "Where's Dante?" Lovino asked. "He's with Kyle," Feliciano said. Lovino nodded and walked off, ignoring the shouts that came from his British boss. "Kyle! Where's Dante?" He yelled walking towards the teen's room. He pushed the curtain away and found the fourteen year old with a giant spider in his hand.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood and he froze. "He's in the cage," he said and Lovino turned to the many large cases on the other side of the room. "Okay well put that thing away before I get in," Lovino said. "She's harmless," Kyle said with a smile. "Kyle I will stab you if you get near me with that thing," Lovino said. The young teen sighed and put the spider into a container before Lovino hurried to the cage.
He stuck his hand into the cage and allowed the large white snake wrap itself around his arm before he pulled it out. "You are this close to Dante but won't get near any other snake or spider?" Kyle asked. "Dante is a saint!" Lovino said walking out. "He's just a white two headed snake!" Kyle yelled. Lovino left, flicking off the teen. "Lovi! Hey I wanted to talk to you!"
Lovino groaned as he turned to the albino teen. "It's Lovino," he growled. "Yeah whatever. Anyways I was hoping you'd let Dante do a show with me," he said excitedly. "Why on earth would I let you do a show with Dante?" He asked sassily. "Because I want to be a cool snake charmer. With my flute skills I really think I can do it," Gilbert said excitedly. "Get another snake!" Lovino yelled. "But Dante looks cooler. We match colors!" Gilbert said excitedly.
Lovino pinched the bridge of his nose before taking a deep breath. "No. Dante needs to rest as much as he can. He's two headed and albino so he needs to be extra careful." Gilbert frowned and walked off. "You suck."
Lovino stood in the center of the room, waiting for the music to start. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths as the music stared. He spread his arms elegantly before letting his body move in a story only he knew. He could feel the larger snake slithering about his arms and legs as he moved. He brought his arm in as Dante slithered to his hand and he placed a small kiss onto of his heads.
His blue eyes stared back at him as his tongue stuck out before pulling back in and Lovino continued. Feliciano sat against the wall with a large drawing pad. His gaze shifted from the dancer to the paper as he drew his brother, trying to copy his elegance onto the paper. His eyes caught the blonde playing music and he sent a sweet smile, making him blush.
Lovino ended his dance and breathed heavily before bending over and trying to catch his breath. "It's meaningless," he said slightly agitated. "What do you mean?" Emil asked putting his instrument aside. "The ending. It's flat, I don't have a good ending," he groaned. He placed the snake into the large cage and walked off.
"He says that but his dancing looked flawless to me," Ludwig said. "He's just weird," Gilbert said walking away as well. "Let's just go eat dinner." Lovino paced back in forth in his own room, wondering why his ending wasn't powerful enough. The curtain opened and revealed the large Spaniard. "Not now bastard," Lovino growled before plopping down onto his bed. "Everyone says you're stressing. Want to talk about it?" He asked as he entered. "I just don't have a good ending for my story. It's not strong enough!" He said frustratedly.
"Well then tell me the story and maybe I can help," Antonio said gently rubbing the Italian's shoulder. "No, I don't like to talk about it," Lovino said blushing. "Well, don't fret. Either way the crowd will love it," Antonio said. Lovino sighed and nodded before standing. "Okay then. Let's go to dinner."
(2 days later)
Vladimir groaned as he looked into the mirror. "This outfit is so stupid!" He bit his lip in frustration and crossed his arms. "Nothing else looked good on you," Hercules said. "It's that's long hair! We should have had it cut," Sadiq said frowning. "Noone is touching my hair," he hissed. "Come on, Vlad. You don't look that bad," Minel said comfortingly.
"You can't say that when you look like that!" Vlad yelled. Minel wore his black pants along with a white long sleeve and black vest with golden embroidery. In plainer words, he looked good. Vlad wore simple white harem pants with black boots and a golden colored vest with embroidery. "I don't even have a shirt!"
"Well it's either this or a gown," Hercules said, wearing his flowy white one with his navy blue vest. "Not everyone can look good in that," Vlad said frustratedly. "Whatever let's just go. Vlad you sit as far away from me okay?" Sadiq said. The blonde frowned deeply as he walked along with the group.
"Kukuku. You look like a beggar," Elizabeta said. "And you look like a bitch. Oh wait! You are one," Vlad said. Sadiq quickly separated them before they started a fight. "Elizabeta I will send you home. Then you won't see any fine ass," Sadiq threatened. She sighed and zipped her mouth as she walked along.
The moment they entered the festival, they were met with various acts and stands. A large flame quickly caught Vladimir's attention and he turned to see a young teen doing tricks with sticks covered in fire. He quickly walked over and watched from the crowd. The teen had to be fourteen with black hair and a red outfit, making Vlad assume he must have been somewhere from Asia.
"Minel, look!" He waved over the teen and the two watched in interest. Leon put the flame into his mouth and put it out effectively, gaining an applause. "Those brats just left!" Sadiq said as he noticed they were gone. "Are they selling candy?" Elizabeta asked pointing to a stand. Sadiq quickly turned and two hurried off the stand, leaving Gupta with the young boy.
"Look, a freak show," Hercules said pointing to a tent far off. "Let's go," he said. Gupta nodded and followed until a small girl caught his attention. The two stopped and watched the tanned skin girl do tricks with Hula hoops set a flame. "That's amazing," Vlad said joining the two. "How did her clothes not set fire yet?" Minel wondered.
"Let's go to the freak show," Hercules said tugging on Vlad's pants. "Okay!" Vlad said excitedly. The two walked off into the tent and were met with multiple cages. "Is that a two tailed scorpion?" Vlad asked looking at one of the cases. "Ja! Pretty awesome right?"
The two looked up to see an Albino teen sat on an empty cage. His exposed chest exposed paper white skin and the red harem pants he wore stood out like blood. "You're white!" Vlad said amazed. "I'm albino, technically," he corrected. "Are these animals real?" Hercules asked tapping the glass. "Ja, our best snake wasn't allowed out into display though," Gilbert said.
"If you want to see something really freaky though, check out that guy," Gilbert said pointing to Kyle across the tent. The two walked over to see the fourteen year old holding a large spider. "This type of spider is seen only in Australia and it's rather poisonous. Now watch as I let it crawl into my mouth," he announced in a heavy accent.
Vlad watched in amazement as he held his mouth open and allowed the large spider crawl into his mouth. He closed it and opened it again before the spider crawled out. "Now that's freaky," Vlad said. The two left the tent and found Sadiq trying to talk to a female dancer. "Should I ruin his chance?" Hercules asked. "Oh yeah," Vlad said with a smirk.
The two went over and Hercules tugged on his long coat. "Baba! Baba I want candy," he said as cutely as he could. "Who the hell are you calling Baba?!" Sadiq said horrified. "Oh. You have children," the woman said clearly no longer in interest. "No! Well I do but these brats aren't really my kids," he said. The woman only rolled her eyes and left. "You brat!" He yelled. Hercules hurriedly ran off to join Gupta by the snacks. Minel joined Vlad and pointed to another tent. "They have fortune readings. Want to check it out?" Vlad nodded and the two went into the tent.
They were met with a small blonde sitting in a purple outfit and cross pin in his hair. "Fortune reading?" He asked. The two said yes and Lukas pointed to a chart. "Prices vary," he said. Vlad shrugged and set the coins down. "I want to know if I'll beat up Sadiq anytime soon," he said. Lukas set down cards and began to read his fortune without expression.
After flipping over some cards he looked at the blonde seriously. "It says... You're a little bitch." Vlad's smile dropped and Minel began to laugh. "It's a joke. The answer is no. Not for another few years," he said. Vlad nodded and moved so Minel can sit. "Well, I want to know if I'll meet someone interesting soon." Lukas again messed with the cards until stopping. "Yes. A girl with blonde hair and cold, Icey eyes." Minel smiled and the two left the tent. 'He asked for interesting. He never specified if he wanted a lover or a crazy psycho,' Lukas thought to himself.
They continued to explore until they were seated in a large group, watching the stage as a group of girls danced. "See? Boring," Vlad said. "You were just having fun," Minel said. "Just wait until the legend comes out," Elizabeta said. She sat eating candy with Sadiq as Hercules sat on his shoulders for a better view. "I can't wait to see. How about you?" Sadiq asked Gupta. He only nodded and continued to watch the stage.
The dance ended and a blonde with large eyebrows came out. "That was our lovely ladies. Now please welcome the star of our caravan. He came to us all the way from Italy with his two brothers and is now the best dancer in the show business. Please welcome Lovino Vargas!"
