"Die! Die! Die! Die!" the boy ordered.

Tiri was deadpan the entire time.

"Who are you ordering to die?" Kiana questioned, pausing at the family room doorway with an armload of laundry.

"Tiri's character!"

She sighed with a smile and moved on.

"Up then A," Romano instructed, leaning over the back of the couch. "He's a sucker for that."

Evan did as he was told, and Tiri blocked it, and countered with a combo of his own.

"Didn't work, Uncle Lovino!"

"If I know what you're going to use, then I can block," Tiri stated calmly, still nibbling on his pocky.

Evan growled and tried to defeat his friend. But Tiri was better than him, due to him actually owning the game.

"Let's play something else!" whined the pre-teen, crawling over to the game cabnet. Needless to say, the family had quite a few. Anahi had made sure she created gamers out of her kids and grandkids.

"What's wrong with Soul Callibour?" Tiri questioned, setting down the controler and waiting for Evan to make his choice.

"I'm not familiar with it..." Evan mumbled, rooting around for Kiku's latest games. Those ones he knew how to use.

"Ha! Here we go. How about a team game?"

Tiri shrugged. "Sure. Just don't hold me back."

Evan rolled his eyes and slipped the combat game into the slot before switching the desplay to the holo screen, and not the tv screen. "Let's go!"

Lovino smiled as he watched the boys continue playing. Having kids sure had softened him. That didn't mean that he would go on his formally known swearing rants. These usually tended to happen when Spain would come and spoil the kids, and when the kids referred to him as "Papa." Though, when Grandpa Rome came around, he didn't mind it so much... His spoiling of the kids could be cut down just a smidge, though.

"Auntie Tasha is coming out today, don't forget," Kiana reminded her husband.

"Ah, right. Is Siberia coming out as well?"

Kiana smiled. "Yes, Yorgi is coming out, too. Be sure you remind them that they're welcome to stay the night."

Lovi sighed, rolling his eyes. "I-a know this, Bella..."

Kiana giggled and kissed his cheek before continuing her transport of the overflowing hamper.

Mean time, back in Russia, Natasha was leaning on the wall outside the bathroom. "Good grief, Yorg, you take longer than a girl..."

"You're not a regular girl," he shot back.

She pivoted on her shouler to look into the bathroom where he was fiddling with his hair.

"Spiked, slicked back, slicked down, or ponytail?" he asked, turning to his girl.

"Done," she answered. She was very much done with his primping.

"Come on, Na'shta..." he whined.

She sighed, closing her eyes. "Hair slicked to the side, and spiked at the ends..."

Yorgi raised a brow, but smiled at the style. Yes, that would do just fine. Grabbing the gel he ran it through his hair, scrunching the ends and plucking at it to get it spiked. It worked for him since he had longer hair, and was constantly falling to his eyes if he wasn't careful.

"Alright, let's go..." Natasha sighed, pushing off the wall and heading to the door, her white hair flowing. She made a vow to not cut it until Anahi returned. At the moment, even though she had it up in a braided bun, not all would fit on her head. So she left some to hang loose down to her lower back.

Yorgi took note of this and smiled. When it was down, it dragged a few feet along the floor. He found it attractive, but he worried as well. He knew it hurt her head, and that added along with the back pain, he knew she was miserable at night.

"You okay, Love?" he asked, hurrying behind her and wrapping an arm around her enlarged waist.

She rested against him. "Yes, wonderful. I just wish that Gilbert would come back..."

He gave her a comforting kiss. "He will. Eventually he will..."

She nodded, climbing into the passenger seat of the car to make the long drive to Italy.

Kadi frowned. Something was... off...

She hurried to her mansion and entered, only for her eyes to widden in horror.

No...

Somehow everyone in the building had escaped their world and was running around freely through the halls.

No...

Cats... Humans... Chibis... Angels... Devils... Even the dragons had escaped from their world!

No...!

A tap was given to Kadi's shoulder, so she turned, suddenly right in the face of a cupcake.

"Care for a cupcake, Poppet?"

No!!

Adam frowned, suddenly zooming in on Hetalia.

"What the... Is there now a rift...?"

He abandonded his post and ran for the door. He had to stop this before it got way out of hand!
