Once upon a time

PROLOGUE: In a fair country, far, far away

Eyes bleary, the ex-Kingdom of Prussia turned his red eyes to his brother, who was flicking through a stack of paperwork and trying to ignore the jabbering of the other nations of the world. "West..." He looked up, frowning, as if it was the silver haired man that was responsible for his troubles. "What is it now?" Gilbert sighed: "Remind me why I have to be here again?" The way the blonde glared at him, it wasn't a very good question. "Because you insisted on coming here, after a three hour long presentation on the struggles of being a dead country and how it was only fair that, if not handling your part of the country like Bavaria or Hesse, you could at least input on global affairs." A pause, then he admitted: "Though I have to say it was a rather impressive presentation."

Gilbert Beilschmidt grinned sharply, rubbed his eyes and cracked his back. "Thanks, West. Anyway, now that I've had a reminder of my awesomeness, can I ask why you haven't told them to shut the hell up yet? I mean, that's kind of your role, yeah?" Ludwig rolled his eyes, though acknowledging the truth in his words, before pointing out: "Alfred isn't here yet, and neither are Elizaveta and Lars. It's no use starting if they're going to cause rucus anyway." "I guess when you say they you mean Alfred." The albino sniggered, before looking around. "He is kinda late, huh?"

Before anything could be added, Elizaveta burst in, accompanied by a laughing Alfred and an exasperated Lars. The Dutchman quickly sat himself down next to Gilbert, who turned to him, interest peaked. "Explanation?" he asked in German. "Th' American made some stupid accidental misogynistic remark and they've been arguing for the past half hour." Lars replied, running a hand through his hair with a sigh. Gilbert whistled. "What an idiot! Next to Elizaveta ?" "Tell me about it." The nation of Netherlands answered, shaking his head.

It was then that Ludwig stood up, with his usual loud: "RUHE, BITTE! WILL EVERYONE PLEASE QUIET DOWN!" The room stilled, conversation fading until only the Hungarian and the American were still bickering. "...Obviously have no idea how tough it is being a female nation!" The brunet exclaimed, turning to Belgium for support. "Back me up here, Belle!" "Ja!" The blonde said, frowning and pointing accusingly at Alfred. "It was tough enough back in the "good ol' days", and if you jerks still aren't treating us as equals-!"

The American, however, shrugged. "Dude, I wasn't insulting women! I was just saying that they're not really as tough as we are! That's like been scientifically proved!" "Physically, perhaps. You, however, insinuated we are incapable of being as good a nation as you are!" Eliza snapped, as a rumble of annoyance emanated from the women in the room. "Please, stop arguing." Kiku said, looking panicked. "Ha, and why? Because you agree with Alfred?" Taiwan asked, brows raised in disapproval. "Eh? No, I-"

As bickering broke out once more, Alfred turned to Arthur. "Bro, help me out here. Are we or are we not- Hey, what are you reading?" "Don't touch that, fool!" the Brit exclaimed, trying to grab the old book back. "Haha, what kinda fairytale BS is this?" the blonde laughed, pointing at the swirls of blue and pink invading the page, next to small floating creatures. "ALFRED! DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Arthur shouted, making everyone but Alfred himself and the still angry Eliza shut up.

"Why, am I in a Disney movie?"

"..Turned into girls! See how you'd like it!"

"THAT'S MAGIC!"

At the panicked tone in his voice, the blue-eyed nation looked up in surprise- too late. A sudden, loud crackling noise filled the air, rooting everyone to the spot, and rendering them seemingly incapable of speech. Eerily, the voices echoed: "Disney movie?.." "Turned into girls!..." "MAGIC!"

And then there was a crash, and an enormous swirling blue thing appeared on the floor; and there were loud shrieks of surprise as several of the nearest nations felt themselves pulled in. With wide eyes, Alfred watched Yao, Ivan, Herakles, Kiku, Lovino, Matthias, Veneziano, Ludwig, all pulled into the mass, and then there were more, faster, and he saw a flash of red eyes, and heard Matthew give a shout, and saw Francis reach out, and then as the thing started shrinking faster and faster, Arthur gave a startled, "Oh, lord!" before he stood up and ran to the thing.

"Arthur!" the American shouted, but in vain, for the Brit had already jumped in. The American turned around, looked at the luckily large group of remaining nations, then at the ever-shrinking light, and with a determined glare he dived in.

The last thing he heard was a "No!", before a blinding pink light captured him and everything went dark.
