The request:
The Bad Touch Trio is bored. They decide a vacation would be wonderful (and very much deserved), but they don't have any money... So they rob a bank, thereby ending the boredom problem and the money problem. Romano drives the gettaway car.
What they do with the money is totally up to you.
Bonus: They rob an American bank, and America chases them throughout the fic (because cops and robbers is fun).

"This was a terrible idea," Lovino muttered to himself, alternately tightening and loosening his grip on the steering wheel. He glanced into the rear view mirror, which he'd angled nearly an hour ago to provide a clear view of the building the car was idling in front of. "How the hell did that idiot talk me into doing this?"
It was a pointless question, really. He knew how he'd gotten into it. He knew how he'd been talked into going along with it. He knew why he was now sitting in a car, waiting for the Three Stooges to finish their business.
He just didn't know what was taking so damn long.
Lovino glanced into the mirror again anxiously and blanched at the sight of a uniformed police officer approaching the bank doors.
"Shit."
--It had started yesterday. Or perhaps more accurately, Lovino's involvement in the "operation" (as it had been termed) started yesterday ( ... )

It had been said with no introduction, no warning, and silence followed. Antonio and Francis stared at their friend as though he'd grown an extra head.
"And why are we going to do that?" Antonio finally ventured.
"Simple," Gilbert said, as though the decision that a bank needed robbing and they would be the ones to do it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Francis, you were saying the other day that you could use a break from the ol' routine. Antonio, you were saying that you never get to go anywhere since Kirkland wrecked your car... again. And I know that I've been going out of my mind because things are so damn boring. So we're going on a vacation."
Francis shook his head. "Ah, I'm afraid there's a small problem with that, mon cher…"
"Bingo; we're flat broke. If we want to do anything, we need money," Gilbert said. After a paused, he added as an afterthought, "Plus, it'll be fun ( ... )

"Twenty-four hours and just as many restraining orders later, it was decided that maybe Antonio should be the scout instead."
I lol'ed.
Please, please, pleeeease continue soon! <3

I adore how in character this is and the way you write Lovino is especially spot-on. ♥

I laughed. Out loud. Hard enough my family was staring at me. I don't know, the mental image is awesome.
Eagerly awaiting for more, author!non *3*.

"They already know my face," Francis pointed out, "and I won't be able to get within five hundred feet of the bank without violating a restraining order."
"We're robbing a bank," Gilbert reminded him. "I think your restraining orders are the least of our worries."
Francis chuckled at that. "What I meant, mon chéri, is that I'm known there. And Antonio is also known."
"Well-known," Antonio agreed cheerfully. "The tellers always greet me by name, you know, and Tex remembered what I'd said about café con leche the other day. Virginia even suggested I come over for dinner some time. Oh, and Mary took my advice about fixing things with her husband; things aren't exactly better yet, but I really think they're going to be okay."
"…So if either of us show our faces nearby, we'll be recognized," Francis concluded. "And obviously, we can't have that."
Gilbert grinned. "That's what these are for," he declared, depositing ( ... )

Lovino scowled. "I don't need one. I'm not going in with you idiots."
Francis continued without paying any heed to their driver's words, "And since he finds ours so delightful, he should naturally be Italie, non?"
"I don't need a goddamn pseudonym, France," Lovino growled. He glanced at the Spaniard in the passenger's seat, looking for backup. "Tell him, Antonio."
"It's cute; I like it," Antonio said, and Lovino groaned.
"All of you, out of the car. Now."
Strike two.

"Now, Tex," Gilbert said smoothly, touching the nametag on the worker's chest. "What say you to letting us in the vault, hmm?"
Tex smiled. "Sorry, but I can't do that. Only the manager can get in, see."
Gilbert smiled under his mask. "That's not what I heard. This is a small town, Tex, and you know what they say about small towns-"
"News travels fast?" Tex interjected.
"That too," Gilbert conceded. "But what I meant is that everyone knows everything about everyone. What I heard is that the manager and the assistant manager each have a code for the vault, and you need both to get in. So theoretically, the assistant manager could get in if he had the manager's code… And do you know who I heard is the assistant manager?"
Tex looked sheepish. "Uh… me?"
"That's right; you. So we can do this the easy way or the ( ... )

Antonio fled from his makeshift shelter, and both he and Francis were out the door within seconds. Gilbert was a bit further behind them, yet he still nearly crashed into his friends when he reached the curb.
It took him a moment to realize why.
They were standing where the car had been. Had been. Now, the Mini was nowhere to be seen.
In retrospect, they agreed that a lot of things about the heist had been a bad idea. Leaving a skittish Italian in charge of the car, even if his family did have mafia ties, was one of them.
And that was strike three.

Whilst Antonio, Gilbert, and Francis were standing perplexed on the curb (only to decide a moment later that just standing around was a terrible idea), Lovino was five miles away, chanting a steady rhythm of "Shit, shit, shit, ( ... )
