"Ugh......okay, I WAS excited before since, you know, no school......but look at how old this place looks!"

Tadashi yawned, rolling his eyes at Hiro who plopped down onto the bed in exhaustion. The young man sat down next to the younger boy, laying back to close his eyes.

"Boys, can you believe it!!! We're in Verona, Italy!!!" Cass yells happily, bouncing around the homey room. "I can't wait to start the day!! So much exploring, sites, and everything old but new!"

Tadashi mentally sighs and thinking how can his Aunt be so hyper after being jet lag. Hiro whines, getting comfortable on the bed, "Aaaaunt Caaass! I have jet lag! Let's start tomorrow....."

Aunt Cass had gotten quiet and that was a bad sign, so the two boys look to see her eyes narrowed and hands on her hips.

-----------------------

Outside the car, Tadashi watched the beautiful buildings go by along with many people walking around. The snores of Hiro beside him along with his aunt taking pictures of the beautiful landscape.

"First, we are gonna be taste testing freshly made foods!! Yum! Right?"

Tadashi hummed and smiled warmly at Cass' happy mood. Hiro had suddenly jerked awake, "Heard.......food.....hungry...,"

The older brother laughed, ruffling the younger one's hair, "Don't worry, little bro. We're all gonna be full at the end of the day."

Soon the three had gotten out at a very famous and local bakery. Once in front, they sat down at a table with a peaceful environment even with slight bustling.

Tadashi smiles sheepishly and a bit shyly at a few girls who walked by, giggling and waving at him. Luckily the owner of the bakery came out with a tray that had four pieces of toasted French bread.

Taking a piece each after the baker brushed butter and garlic over the bread to give it flavor. Tadashi took a bite and melted when the flavor rushed over his tastebuds. Hiro smiled happily and went to take a bite himself.

"Mmmm! Mmmm! I can't- it's just- MMMM!"

Hiro stopped and gave his aunt a weirded out look, "Aunt Cass. Please, just stop." Tadashi snickered as Cass has her mouth full of bread, "What?! It just SO delicious! I've gotta have this recipe! MM!"

After the bread tasting, they walked a few blocks away to a Cheesery. Inside there were many kinds of cheese. "Wow! This is very impressive!!!" Tadashi sighs a bit and he won't say outloud, but this is boring.

"Boys, try it!" Cass hands the two boys slices of cheese before taking a bite of hers. "Mmmm!" Hiro awkwardly turns around when his aunt dramatically hits the table, "I'll be waiting outside."

Tadashi takes small bites, watching Aunt Cass go crazy over the flavor of the cheese. She points in excitement at the cheese, "MM! Tadashi this is amazing!" She smiles at the owner, "This is GREAT! Is there maybe a mouse living in the cheesery?"

Hiro sighs loudly when Cass walk out happily and chattering away about the food. "Oh, i know where we can go next! There's a place not far from here that has truffles-"

"What a minute. Truffles?" Hiro walks up, waving his hands, "Is it like the dessert truffles or the mushrooms?"

Tadashi shakes his head at Hiro. Aunt Cass grins, "It's not really a mushroom, it's a truffle, you know the thing you put on the pasta!"

Hiro holds a hand up in a stop motion, "Hold up. Okay, everything was fine, but to be honest i don't really feel like going to see a mushroom."

Cass frowned, a bit hurt that Hiro wasn't enjoying this family time. Tadashi knew it so he stepped up, smiling and holding Aunt Cass shoulder, "Hey, what about I take Hiro walking while you can go see the truffles? Maybe meet up at the room before dinner?"

Their aunt thinks it over and smiles warmly, "Alright! But make sure you two have a little fun."

---------------------

"You need to be more considerate, Hiro. Especially toward Aunt Cass."

Hiro sighs, arms crossed and glances at the things they have for sale through each window they pass, "I know, I know.....its just sometimes Aunt Cass can be a bit embarrassing."

Tadashi smiles softly and ruffles Hiro's hair, "Hey, she tolerated us when we did embarrassing things yet she still loves us and we love her for....her."

Hiro smiles warmly, "yeah." He walks ahead as Tadashi walks past an archway. A sound of faint sobbing can be heard as people pass in and out of the opening.

His instincts to help, caused the young man to turn in that direction.

"Tadashi! Bro! Hey! Wait up!"
