- Come on, Romano!
- No, you bastard! I told you I will not! Shouted again Romano once again, tired of the whining of English. While combing the hair with your fingers, I asked why that day was right at home in Spain.
her feel not only that night because his brother was, as usual, in the male house potatoes and Spain expected to call him, not at all. Spain who had been unexpectedly called him, asking him to go home to dinner and had achieved a good crop of tomatoes for the sauce, and, having no desire to cook, agreed. But of course, should have expected something like it.
"But Romano, if you leave your shoes then do not come! You have to leave! Spain insisted again.
- I told you that is stupid! Stop treating me like a child, I know these guys do not exist. - How could continue to treat you that way? One thing was a child when I believed everything, and quite another now that was an adult and knew the truth. Los Reyes Magos no, Spain.
"Now do not say things like that unless will listen and get very sad hit his face with one hand, that idiot was hopeless ...
- that they know then! As if I cared what they felt non-existent beings. Besides, he added, is the Witch Befana who leaves sweet, no such tip ... - but could not continue to see tears in his eyes peek English. And if there was something I could not resist was the expression of sadness. Okay! I will play this stupid game of yours, stop mourn for something. I'll leave my shoes on the patio.
- Thanks, Roman! Spain cried and locked him in a hug that could not release for several minutes.

Romano yawned and closed the refrigerator door. She had awakened in the middle of the night thirsty and had gone to get something to drink. After drinking a glass of water and keep the bottle, ready to return to your room (or rather, that Spain had prepared), but something stopped him. He was sure he heard a noise and what voices? From where I could not hear clearly. Would thieves? A sense of fear gripped her body. Heck, where was Spain just when I needed it? Most likely she was sleeping as calm in his bed, ignoring everything that was happening.
What was I thinking? He was Southern Italy, a country (or rather a part of it) independently. Was no longer under the care of English and did not need him to protect him. Steeling herself, she grabbed a roll and went to the source of the noise by stealth. When he reached the living room realized that thieves were on the patio. Slowly walked to the back door when he could envision three shadows. He raised his eyebrows. Although not see them directly, their shadows could tell the clothes they wore strange, strange at least to where they were. Seemed to be wearing layers and I could swear that one of them wearing a turban and a crown, he could not distinguish carefully between what adorned the head of the third.
Carefully roll left to the side and put his eye right in the slot in the door and to his surprise, he saw three camels. No, it was not possible. It was possible that they exist. As if I could see more, hit his eye over the slot. I could hear them whispering something between them, but I could not understand what they said. She thought about opening the door and solve the whole mystery, but Spain had warned that if the Kings witnessed leaving a gift then they would not leave it. It was not that he interested in the gift, of course not. No longer a child and had other more important things. In addition, her curiosity was stronger. Determined, your eye off the door and turned the knob.
whinnied Camels. The three people murmured alarmed. And cursed Roman Spain. The door was obviously locked and made noise when you try to open it. Great, now what would you do? Do not know where Spain kept the key and, anyway, it was too dark to find them. Their presence also had been discovered and probably the Magi (if it were, of course) it would not let the gift. Knowing that he had already lost everything, shouted
- "Who's there!? "You could hear a blow and then a whimper. More camels whinnied. Turned the knob again but knew I would not have settled the case and then his right eye in the slot. As seen from their bodies, two of them seemed to be trying to cover his mouth when he had beaten. If it was because it was dark, I knew that it could have distinguished the face. Then the two charged to third on a camel and rose after the other two. With impotence, saw the three figures go quickly.
It was several minutes sitting with his back to the door, not knowing to do. Should I wake him to Spain to open the door? Would be four in the morning and English would be so asleep like a stone. Not to mention that if he did, then begin to act like a fool, getting excited at the news and would not let him sleep the rest of the night. Although left him most frustrated was that he was right in the end, that the Magi actually existed. A part of him was still in denial, but it was a few minutes I had seen (or rather heard). It was impossible that they should not be, right?
sighed. No matter how much time to think about it, this is not going to solve it. Perhaps it was best to leave sleeping. And when she woke and Spain opens the door could confirm. Could confirm that with his shoes had left a gift.
heavily, got up and took the roll to the kitchen. Then he went to his room. Within a few hours would know all the answers.
*.*.*.*.*.*
The singing of the birds woke him. Sleepy, are fixed on the clock beside him on the bedside table. It was half past eleven, "had long been asleep? Well, after what happened last night it should not be rare. As if that react Doing so, he sat on the bed. Would been a dream or what really happened? Were there in fact the Kings? Quickly changed clothes and left the room. When he reached the door to the courtyard saw that Spain's was opening.
-Romano, good morning! He cried when he realized his presence. Although his voice was the same as ever, his face showed fatigue and large dark circles around his eyes. Roman arched his relent with skepticism. "Hello
greeted with simplicity and looked forward to the door.
"Right now I open the door smiled English. Romano blushed with shame.
-C-Shut up idiot, not that! Spain-but just laughed.
finally opened and they went out. Romano was no thought to their shoes, and there was next to them, a package wrapped in red wrapping paper and a ribbon the same color.
- Is not it amazing, Romano? Kings came and left you a gift! -Spain sounded very excited, but he did not answer but looked around. The basin that had left him (or rather Spain had done) so it was tomasen camel turned and the soil is still wet. Also on the floor were signs of some cookies and candy. Do we really had gone? He still could not believe it. Romano! Why not open your gift?
"Mmm ... you're right, I will," he said, and began to get the paper, but before he could continue, he heard a noise. What was that?
Without thinking twice, he was inside the house. Spain tried to stop on the road, without success. I thought to say a few insults when you just walked into the kitchen and saw France sitting and holding a cup. Quickly hid behind the English.
"Good morning, Romano. I did not know you were already awake, France greeted him and took a sip from his cup.
"You ... You ... Did you know you do here, you fucking pervert?! Terrified shouted, pointing with his thumb.
"Oh, shut up, that's amazing because of you I could not sleep well last night. "Roman was startled to hear another voice behind him. Turning came face to face with Prussia. The brother of the male of potatoes! "But what the hell ...!? "However, this did not answer and sat next to France.
-Spain, make me something I'm still very tired last night. You owe me-I said in an accusatory manner. The above does not seem to know what to do until was decided and went to heat some coffee. Romano was stunned.
- Do not ignore me! "What are you doing here!? When did they arrive? He shouted, but not before a little closer to Spain just in case. The three looked for a moment. An awkward silence surrounding the environment and Romano could observe them better.
Both France and Prussia also had dark circles, not counting their faces did notice the lack of sleep they had. If they had asked, would say that the three went out for a drink at night, but if it were so, then Spain would have told. Could also note that the left foot German, who was barefoot, had a large bruise on his ankle.
was then realized. Angry, he looked to Spain.
- Is something wrong, Romano? English innocently asked if the Italian could swear he felt some nervousness in his voice.
"You ... bastard ..." just stepped out of his mouth, his rage was too great. "Did you think I'm stupid!? "Spain was a great header from the Italian.
"Wait, Romano, I can explain! Not what your cr-A new header interrupted. Meanwhile, France and Prussia were watching the scene undisturbed. The first sighed and shook his head slowly.
"I told Spain that it would not work ..." Then he took another sip from his cup. Prussia, however, laughed.
- But you must admit that my performance as Baltasar was as amazing as me! France ignored the loud laughter of his friend and instead asked if Spain would return these camels were hired. Was a miracle that Romano had not been on the streets and had seen. ---------
Endnotes: January 6 is celebrated in Spain and several Latin American countries on the day of the Magi
, Where children leave their shoes / slippers at night and the Kings will leave a gift next to them the next day.
In Italy, however, is celebrated
La Befana. La Befana is good witch who flies at night from 5 to January 6 at the homes of children, which means they must stop or empty sockets for her to fill with candy. However, those who behaved badly let them coal.
