*Sasha's POV*

Min and Hannah are the most overeating friends I have ever had in my entire life. I have dinner with my Italian boyfriend, and they're going nuts about it.

I went back to reality shortly after Mina shook me violently, screaming, "OKAY, WE GOT YOUR MAKEUP, YOUR EXTRA NAPKINS, AND YOUR BREATH-MINTS!!"

Hannah shouted back, "DID WE FORGET ANYTHING!?"

Mina held my shoulders, "WE NEED TO GET YOU SOMETHING TO WEAR!!"

Hannah nodded in panic and barged into my closet, searching for whatever I could wear. Mina barged in as well. Then finally, they were locked in the closet.

I pretended my mom was calling me and I had to go downstairs. So I got my dress ( that was hiding under my bed) and my purse, and I rushed downstairs.

I slowly tip toed outside my house, then all of a sudden, I heard someone whisper behind me,

"Ready to leave, Bella?"

I shrieked as I turned my head around. I was in relief when I found out it was just Feliciano, my boyfriend for about 1/2 month.

I laughed and gave him a quick nod, "Sono Pronto." (I'm ready)

He chuckled slightly as we began walking to the restaurant "Since when did you learn how to speak Italian, Bella?"

I giggled in return, curling my bangs gently while replying to his question,

"Since whenever I want to. My friends were a little bit panicked a while ago and they taught me a little Italian just in case. They're crazy."

He sighed happily, walking a little faster to catch up with my speed, "I know how it feels to have pazzo amicos. But it's okay, I'm used to it."

Our little conversation paused as we arrived at the restaurant.

Feliciano gave me a seat, we both waited patiently for our food. Feliciano got impatient and complained to the boss. Which was a terrible mistake.

I didn't know the boss was Kitts Woerman. It was a horrible story. I stole his food everyday during the whole middle school. And he only found out it was me when we graduated college.

He grabbed my collar furiously, growling, "I finally get to own a restaurant without anyone stealing my food, and now I see you come along. Well, you're not stealing it this time. Because you're banned."

*Italy's POV*

He dropped Sasha mercilessly on the ground. I helped her up and replied sternly,

"THATS IT. JUST BECAUSE SHE STOLE IN THE PAST, DOESNT MEAN SHE'LL EVER DO IT AGAIN! I KNOW HER! SHES A SWEET, CLEVER, HEALTHY...BEAUTIFUL GIRL WHOS LOYAL TO HER LOVED ONES! SO FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE!!"

Kitts sighed desperately, "Okay fine." Then he formed a smirk, "But...on one condition...you have to finish all 10 of this brandy by the end of the hour"

Sasha gasped terrifyingly, she worriedly grasped my shoulder, tearing up, "NO, TH-THATS GONNA MAKE YOU PASS OUT, ITS GONNA WEAKEN YOU!!"

I removed her hand from my shoulder and held it gently, smiling, "Well...of that's the case, at least we got what we wanted, Bella."

I let go of her hand and and took a seat at the table. Kitts placed a timer on the table along with 10 brandy bottles, muttering sternly beside my ear

"Timer...starts now."

I began drinking one bottle. After I finished the first one, I gulped the second one for speed improvement. After seven bottles finished off, my brain felt numb and sick.

I didn't give up, I drank two more bottles. I was thinking of I drank that last bottle, I'd pass out. I wanted to give up, until...my eye caught Sasha, crying and pleading me to stop.

But...I'm not giving up on her. I drank the last brandy bottle. and when I finished, it was a minute before six o'clock.

Kitts stopped the timer, sighing a cold "congratulations" on me. Then the next thing I know, my eyes began to close as I trembled to the ground.

~~~a few minutes later~~~

My eyes fluttered open. The first thing I saw was the ceiling. Then I heard a familiar voice mutter close by,

"Are you feeling better?"

I slowly my head at the right direction, Sasha was staring at me worriedly, holding a tray of food.

I'm turned away slowly with deep sigh, "Yeah...I'm fine now, Bella..."

She rubbed her forehead disappointingly, sighing,

"I was so worried you would never wake up, why did you have to do that? I almost had a heart attack. You know there's more food out there, and you still did it so I cou-"

I held her shoulders and pushed her closer, pressing my lips against hers. I slowly pushed her away, grasping her arms gently, with a simple question,

"Are you unbanned from the restaurant?"

She bit her lip with tears streaming from her face, nodding, "Yeah...but what good does that do?

I giggled softly finding out she hasn't understood yet, "Remember that really good bistro which you forgot the name of and had to search all over the continent just to find?"

She nodded, after that...her eyes widened in realization, she squealed happily and squeezed me to a hug,

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

I grinned pleasantly, patting her back, "You're welcome"
