Night had fallen by now, and a few owls hooted around to each other in the distant trees. The stars shone brightly, only a few wispy clouds floated under them, yet the shine was still able to be seen from the ground.

A slight, fresh aroma of tomatoes and clean, night air floated around, making Spain contently smile as he walked home. He had been with Prussia and France all day, just hanging around for the heck of it.

The Spanish country stretched and hummed as he walked along the dusty path that led to the back side of his house.  

"I wonder how Romano's been today~" Spain chimed to himself as he walked up to the door, looking up at the cloudy sky for a moment before gripping the doorknob and turning it, hearing a small click as it opened the door. He blinked a few times before walking into the house. "Romano~?"

A slight grumble that indicated Romano's presence came from the darker part of the house.

Spain blinked his green eyes a bit before walking along to the room that Romano was in. "I'm back~" He chimed, poking his head into the door, looking at the lump on the couch that shown Romano's figure shrouded in the shadows.

"But you've been here all day, bastard!" Romano's gruff voice seemed muffled, probably from a pillow that he was using to cover his face. "You made me pick all those tomatoes!"

Spain blinked, tilting his head to the side. Tomatoes…? I haven't been out in the field today… And not with Romano… "Aye, you sure you're okay…?" He paused for a moment, blinking. He noticed that on the floor was a shiny red tomato, glowing with a dark sheen in the shadowy light. It was sitting peacefully as if nothing had happened to it today. "What exactly happened..?" Spain tilted his head, walking over a bit closer to the couch Romano was laying on.

"Dammit!" Romano grumbled and shoved his face farther into the softness of the pillow. "The turtles! You told me to keep picking tomatoes even if they were invading! And, dammit, you made me stay out there until dark, bastardo!"

Spain blinked. He hadn't done that to Romano… Heck, he only talked to Romano today once, and that was just now… Something had happened. Hopefully Romano just had some sort of weird dream that seemed real…. "You sure you're feeling fine?" He asked finally, head tilted.

"CHIGI!" Romano yelled a bit, reaching out his arm a tad until he flung a red tomato right at Spain's face, smirking a bit when he heard the loud pop it made when it landed right into the older country's face.

"H-hey!" Spain gave a slight grumble, wiping the tomato fragments off his face, feeling the orangish juice run down the side of his cheeks and off the tip of his nose. "I just wanted to try and help…" He muttered a bit to himself before looking at Romano again. He tilted his head, trying hard to figure out what was wrong with the Italian. Something bad must have happened while he was gone…. Something bad enough to make Romano ticked off… Maybe it's…. No, there was a promise… Spain silently thought to himself, shaking the thought away. "I'm going to clean off now," Spain replied to Romano after a second, walking off now.

Romano sighed and just stayed on the couch, head still in the pillow. Why had Spain acted all innocent just now? He had made Romano work all day in the tomato field! Something still wasn't right… And it would have to stop soon before somebody was hurt, or worse; killed even.
Second chapter~ Oh, and I'll probably start adding new chapters every few days, so they may not come as quickly as the prologue and first chapter did...
