The trip was not just a week long. No one knew about this.
It was a two-week vacation to visit northern Spain and a little bit of France. Antonio Gilbert and Francis – the French cousin who was not directly invited – had planned this when Roderich communicated Antonio about the reunion.
They just wanted to have fun with everyone.
It would be funny to see everyone's face when Antonio mentions this to the rest of the family.
He had already arranged everything with everyone's boss.
Antonio's boss didn't want to let him take such a long vacation, but Antonio insisted. He really wanted to have a good time with everyone.
Itza and Lovino had fallen sleep for the rest of the trip. Itza rested her head in Lovino's shoulder and Lovino rested his head in Itza's head.
Feliciano was about to die of boredom. He wasn't with his best friend Ludwig, he couldn't talk to him. He knew that if he texted Ludwig he would not answer. He hated texting.
Belle was enjoying the time with her bother, it was nice to forget everything for a moment and enjoy the moment with the family. It was a shame Luxemburg couldn't make it to the reunion. He was too busy… he was always too busy.
Thinking about that gave Belle a headache.
Abel didn't really care what Luxemburg did, he was proud of him. He is the riches country in Europe. Abel couldn't complain about his little brother he was amazing with the money! Money! Money!
Antonio and Gilbert were going to break the wonderful news to everyone this afternoon at the bull-jumping event in San Mateo de Gallego.
Was everyone going to stay?
Antonio really hoped so. He had not done anything like this before. He didn't know how Roderich was going to react. He really hoped it wouldn't be like the Aprils Fool day some years back; Antonio and Francis just wanted to have a great time with everyone.
Isidro, Jose and Tomas were talking about the World Cup event from the past summer.
Antonio was too involved in his own conversation that the only thing he heard was:
"Spain didn't play as good as I had expected"
The one talking was Isidro.
Antonio stopped in mid-sentence and look at Gilbert
Gilbert begin laughing loudly at the Spaniard's reaction
Isidro was laughing, but Tomas was talking how great Germany's games were. This made the German laughed even louder – was that even possible?
"Isidro, I did all I could!" Antonio said complaining.
"Ha, Jose did such a great job! Did not disappoint me. But you and Suyapa were horrible. I can't believe you two. Wait, Suyapa did worse than you. Her players killed the first game against France." Isidro said
"She did get a goal!" Jose said "I was proud of her"
"She was proud and jealous of you!" Tomas said "when she came back home she said 'Costa Rica better do an amazing job since I fail! Pero me siento celosa!' and then she sat down with me to see one of your games, I think it was the one against Greece."
"Yeah, I tie the game with the cat lover"
"It was an amazing game! Suyapa and you steal the spot light sometimes"
They laughed but Antonio was still bothered by the subject
"Perdón Antonio, but you did a horrible job!" Tomas said "But Gilbert here did amazing! I wasn't going for you but I was proud of you"
"I wasn't going for anyone" Jose said "Argentina think she's the best sometimes"
"Like Mexico? He thinks he's hot stuff" Isidro asked
"Nah, Argentina is worse" Tomas said laughing
"I think we would be too if we were in a better situation" Jose answer
"You're turning like them!" Isidro said looking at his younger sibling"
"That's a lie! I might be the best between the five of us, but I'm very family oriented" Jose said complaining
"Ha, yeah… yeah…" Isidro said
They talked normally, without getting angry over who was a better country; facts were facts so pretending to be better didn't help.
Suyapa drove normally after she finished her bottle of wine that the Hungarian bought.
Ludwig was impressed.
Why was he impressed? He drank all the time and occasionally he would drive too.
But this girl… her system didn't even react to the alcohol she drove like she a normal person.
Why was he getting impressed? He did that kind of things all the time, maybe it was just because she was so free and liberated about it, she just… didn't care.
Roderich wasn't even paying attention anymore to any of what the girls say. The worse thing was that the music was crappy.
Amaral slept right after the song "What Makes You Beautiful" ended. She was out.
Elizabeta on the other hand talked to Ludwig about the situation in Europe.
Suyapa wasn't involved in it, which she didn't mind. She didn't want to talk about any recent situation; she didn't want to remember her own.
They arrive to San Mateo.
The Google map carried them to a bull ring.
Did they expect this?
No.
Did they expect the French man in front of the gates?
No.
Did this make all of them wonder what the heck was going on?
Yes.
The beautiful French man approached them, with a smile in his face
"Bon soir, mon amis!" he said in his beautiful French
"Francis?" Elizabeta asked "What are you doing here?"
"I'm a cousin too!" Francis said hurt "I was invited"
Roderich looked at Antonio a little bit annoyed
"France was not part of the Hapsburg family… He even disliked us in that time"
"Big brother Francis is family from the other side, ve~~" Feliciano said smiling
"That bastard!" Lovino said under his breath
The Central American's were close to each other, Suyapa was talking in the phone. She had received a call from her boss to inform her about how they had celebrated her birthday.
She had not notice the French guy.
"Well… let's see what Suyapa says about Francis here…" Isidro said still in 'World Cup 2014' mode
"… Okay, gracias!" Suyapa said laughing she turned around to face everyone "Sorry I was talking to my boss… why are we here?" she asked looking at the bull fighting ring
Everyone was quite.
They all knew how Suyapa would hold a grudge for football, they all knew that…
"Oh…" she said looking at Francis "Is you." She said smiling.
"Suyapa!" Francis said with a big beautiful smile while his beautiful hair floated in the wind "I haven't seen you since we saw each other in Brazil three months ago!"
Suyapa eyed the French man and smile real big.
Everyone looked at the Honduran girl.
Was she okay?
"Si! I remember that time… when I receive a red car and played without one of my best players… I remembered that time!" she laughed very hard and for a long time. She even hold her tummy and tears were coming out of her eyes. "Such a wonderful time wasn't it?"
"Yes!" Francis said smiling to her
"It was great when Germany kick your ass!" she was still laughing
"Yes…" Francis said
"Sorry, I was glad Germany won this world cup, because he won this cup as a whole country and not just 'Western Germany'" she said looking at the German brothers "It was nice"
Ludwig looked at the Honduran and a little tiny smile was on his lips.
Feliciano noticed that and smile, he was happy his best friend was showing some kind of thankfulness.
"I think most of us were there" Abel said
"Yes" Jose said looking at Abel with a smile on his face "I never said 'thank you' for a great game"
"It was indeed an amazing game" Abel said "I enjoyed that time playing with you! The best team from the Central American countries."
"Yes!" Suyapa said "It was an amazing game! I enjoy every single part of the last games…" then she said under her breath "I wished I had been there…"
"Is okay, Orquidea. We can both complain about our situation" Antonio said
"Nah!" Suyapa said "You killed it. I expected a little more from me, but I expected a lot more for you."
Antonio looked at his sibling.
"Not even you?!" he asked surprise with a little sad on his voice
Suyapa laughed and looked at her bother
"We can be losers together!" she said
"Okay, okay. Football season has finished, let's go inside and see what kind of surprise you have for the birthday kids" Amaral said
"Yes! That's right!" Antonio said
They entered the bull ring. It was reserved just for them.
Antonio, Gilbert and Francis stayed in the back while the rest of the group went ahead and sat down in the viewers place.
A voice in a microphone appeared
"And now we will show the bull and the three people who will be 'dancing' with him"
Isidro got exited.
Itza stopped talking to the Italian brothers and suddenly got a shiver down her back.
Tomas was happy to see once again a bull fight
Jose didn't really care about bull fights.
Suyapa was scare. She hated stuff like this…
"Please welcome our participants" the announcer said "Spain, France and Prussia"
The three subjects mentioned came into the middle of the arena dress in all white with a red scarf.
There was nothing in their hands.
"Look at them being all fashionable" Itza said to Lovino
"Those bastards don't know anything about fashion" he answered "I do a better job"
"Ludwig, why aren't you there?" Feliciano asked his best friend "You're strong and awesome! You should be there"
"Yeah!" Suyapa said butting in the conversation "You should be there! You even look stronger than those three" she said jokingly
Ludwig blushed at the comments
The bull was release.
Suyapa saw it. It was strong and big.
The bull proceeded to go after the three men.
Antonio stopped right before the bull before jumping to do something acrobatic; the bull kept going and Gilbert was the next to jump over the bull.
The bull looked angry.
Francis looked at his little group of spectators, he smiled at them and threw a kiss
"Francis is a big flirt!" Isidro said "Itza you should talk to him to!"
"What?" Itza asked offended
"You love to flirt!" Suyapa said
"Only with people that I know! And is not really flirting and you know it!" she said
"Remember that one time she flirt with Eduardo?*" Isidro asked
"They flirt all the time!" Tomas said "Every meeting!"
"I've seen them!" Jose said laughing.
"We know you're not really flirting" Isidro said "You are just friendlier than all of us—"
"Dios Mío!" Suyapa screamed
"Antonio!" Bella said getting up
Antonio was under the bull.
Suyapa got up and attempted to go to the bull ring.
Her siblings told her to stay in the sits but she didn't listen to them.
Abel tried to stop her but she kept going.
Ludwig grabbed her arm but she immediately kicked him in the stomach.
She reached the bull ring.
"Torito!" she screamed
The bull looked at her she begin singing a song native to her country
"Échame ese toro pinto, chinita
Que lo quiero conocer
A ver si tiene calzones, chinita,
O naguas como mujer
Échele que le eche el toro, chinita
Échele entre la gente, chinita
Es que ese torito quiere
Una copita de agua ardiente"
Suyapa was running away from the bull while singing at the top of her lungs.
Her siblings were laughing at her because she was even trying to dance to her folklore song
"Don't you have a song name the same thing?" Itza asked Isidro
"Si, but mine doesn't have lyrics" he answered laughing at the sigh of his sister
The bull kept going behind Suyapa. She wasn't even wearing red!
She had jean shorts and a white blouse.
"Dios!" she screamed after finishing her song "I don't even have a strong brassier for this!"
Most of the spectators laughed at her saying that except a few of them.
"It was funny!" Feliciano said to Ludwig because he shot him a look
Gilbert was outside the bull ring laughing, while Francis tried to help Antonio get to a safe place because he was hurt.
Suyapa didn't know what to do.
She didn't expect Lovino to jump in too.
She was surprise that the Italian was there.
"What are you doing?" Suyapa asked out of breath still running
"Helping you!" he said giving her a nice warm smile
Lovino called the bull several times, but the bull would not leave Suyapa.
Suyapa missed her step and fell to the ground the bull was right behind her.
Lovino had a cape to play with the bull; he somehow got it away from Suyapa.
She got up and ran to Lovino's side
"What do we do now?" she asked
"Wanna try jumping?" he asked nicely "Is fun… when Antonio is not here"
Suyapa smile. She was still out of breath.
"Yeah!" she said
Immediately Suyapa took her shirt off and throw it to the side.
She was only in her brassier and her jean shorts.
"Now" she said smiling towards a blushing Lovino "I'm ready!"
The bull came charging to Suyapa.
"Are you sure she's our sister?" Jose asked
"Yes…" Itza said "Mama said she was a sister"
"She's crazy!" Tomas said "We should stop her"
The three siblings looked at him
"I think she's enjoying herself" Isidro said
Suyapa sucked at jumping in front of the bull, she landed wrong several times.
Gilbert got in the ring once again and charge at the bull with Suyapa, Lovino was out looking at Antonio and insulting him.
Isidro stand up and walked towards the ring.
Took his shirt off and gave it to Jose
"I'm going too!" he said "I want to try that!"
"Is Antonio aware of this?" Itza asked
"I don't think he would care right now!" Tomas laughed "I'm going to go to!"
He also took his shirt off and gave it to Jose
"You can't go!" Itza said "Something might go wrong"
"We can't be killed by circumstances like this"
Itza rolled her eyes.
"This is so much fun!" Elizabeta said exited looking at the Central Americans "I want to go also!"
Elizabeta got up from Roderich's side and ran towards the ring.
She immediately began to play with the bull.
The two Central Americans followed her.
It was a mess.
Antonio didn't want it go like this. He wanted to show everyone what he did for fun and he had been attack by the bull.
Fun, fun.
One of the professional bull fighters got the bull and put it back inside the bull stadium.
Antonio was sitting with the half of the family while the others were enjoying themselves in the ring.
"That was an amazing experience!" Isidro said when they were getting out the stadium
"Yes!" Suyapa said "Lovino is amazing at this!"
Lovino looked at her
"You were too!" he said sweetly
"I had too much fun!" Tomas said "I couldn't believe I was doing it!"
"Suyapa where is your shirt?" Itza asked
"I don't know!" she said looking at her naked stomach "I lost it!"
Itza looked at her seriously
"Why did you take it off?"
Suyapa did not answer right away.
"I wanted too."
Itza got close to her sister
"You do know you're busty"
"I'm aware of that" Suyapa said "Who cares?"
Itza rolled her eyes
"Suyapa you were amazing!" Elizabeta said "You just ran to that ring and got the bull away from Antonio"
Suyapa smiled
"I was worried" she said
"Next time" Roderich said "Please do keep the shirt on, that is not lady-like."
Suyapa didn't said anything
Antonio was waiting for them in one of the suburbans.
Suyapa and Isidro hurried up and went to him
"Are you okay?" Isidro asked
"Yeah!" Antonio said smiling "Nothing bad happen. Not a scratch!"
"That bull was attacking you"
"I only got hit, nothing bad!"
"Good!" Suyapa said "I have a scratch on my back… That's why I took my shirt off…"
"Turned around" Isidro commanded to his sister
Indeed, Suyapa had a rash down her back where an old scar was. That scar was from that time when they tried to live in a single house
"We'll clean it in the hotel"
Suyapa smiled to her siblings
The rest of the family was outside the cars trying to figure out where to go to spend the night.
"Family of mine!" Antonio said getting out of the suburban "This vacation is only beginning! I didn't reserve a hotel room; I didn't do anything I said I was going to do"
Roderich looked at Antonio. He was angry.
"Dear, don't get angry" Elizabeta said to Roderich "Is going to be okay!"
"Did you know about this?" he asked
"Yeah, Gilbert told me!" she said smiling "I'm sorry I didn't tell you"
"My sister and I will go to one together" Abel said
"We will reserve one room for the five of us" Jose added
"No" Antonio said "The boys will go with the boys and the girls with the girls"
"Why?" Itza asked a little down
"Bonding!" Antonio said
"I don't want to be with you" Abel said lighting his cigarette
They all had a little discussion.
They wanted and they didn't.
"Okay. Shut up, all of you" Itza said "I will divide the groups"
Everyone looked at her with a puzzle look
"Abel, Belle, Lovino, Feliciano and I will be in a group" she said "Roderich, Elizabeta, Amaral, Ludwig and Suyapa will be in another group. The next group will be Antonio, Gilbert, Francis, Isidro, Jose and Tomas.
"That's just like the we're in the car" Abel said
"You don't want to be with Antonio" Itza said "so…"
"Fine" he answered
"I'm totally fine with this!" Suyapa said
The others complained about it, but they did not make any changes… Most of them were happy with their group.
The Central Americans were ready to party.
"Well, we will see each other in two hour down in the plaza" Francis said "Until then bye!"
"What time is it?" Ludwig asked Suyapa
"4:21pm"
"We spend an hour there?" he asked
"Ja" Suyapa said in her Honduran accent
Ludwig looked at her
"Is 'Ja'" he said in his German accent
Suyapa smile and got in the car
"It has been an amazing day!" Jose said getting in the front sit to drive "and it'll continue for the night"
"I'm ready!" Tomas said
"Aren't we all?" Francis asked
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy it!
