Bringing Back The Past
Prologue

Rating: K (May change to T).

Summary: Mr Peabody doesn't know about the existence of national personifications. So when he lets Sherman bring Alfred, an 'ordinary' soldier fighting the American Revolutionary War, to see the future of America, what he doesn't know is that the world would fall into chaos. Russia and Japan have to make everything normal for the nations again. Meanwhile, the WABAC breaks down.

Warnings for this chapter: N/A

I do not own Hetalia: Axis Powers and Mr Peabody and Sherman. They belong to their respective owners.

The sun was hot and the wind was strong – and it was the summer holidays. Any kid would want to go to the beach and go swimming in the sea, then have a barbeque party the next day, and the next, until school opens again and they return to the world of books and classrooms and homework.

Sherman was different from all the other kids. First, his adoptive father was a white beagle with black-rimmed glasses. His name was Mr Peabody and he was the smartest dog in the whole world, and possibly the smartest being. How many kids could say that, and prove it? Secondly, he owned a time machine, given to him on his second birthday by Mr Peabody. It was called the WABAC and was a high-tech sphere that travelled through the time-space continuum. And thirdly, he wasn't going to the beach on this fine day. He was going to travel through time once again.

"Mr Peabody! Mr Peabody!" shouted Sherman, running through the penthouse looking for Mr Peabody. His best friend, Penny, followed behind, shouting the same thing.

Mr Peabody heard the noise from his office and sighed. He would have to work on these blueprints later. He emerged from his office and saw the two children just rushed past him.

"Haven't I told you not to run in here?" questioned Mr Peabody, crossing his arms.

Sherman and Penny came to a stop. Sherman gave Mr Peabody a sheepish face.

"Sorry, Mr Peabody," said Sherman.

"Yeah, sorry," repeated Penny.

"Now, what is it that you want?" asked Mr Peabody. At least they didn't mean to run in the penthouse.

"Well," began Sherman, "we haven't used the WABAC since Penny and I accidently caused the space-time continuum to rip, except for our monthly visits to historical geniuses and when we needed help in History homework…"

Mr Peabody knew what exactly Sherman and Penny wanted. Mr Peabody had forbidden Sherman and his friends from using the WABAC on a daily basis since the incident.

"…So maybe you could let us use it again since it's summer?" asked Sherman.

Mr Peabody thought for a while. He used to bring Sherman to a different time period almost every day before school started. He missed going on trips to different times with his boy. Perhaps he should let Sherman off his punishment.

"Alright then," said Mr Peabody, motioning for the children to follow him to the room where the WABAC was.

"Yes!" exclaimed Penny. Sherman made his goofy smile. They followed Mr Peabody into the WABAC and they sat down in their seats. Mr Peabody pressed some buttons and pulled a lever.

"Where are we going to?" asked the children in unison.

"When," corrected Mr Peabody. "When are we going to?"

"Yeah, Mr Peabody!" exclaimed Penny.

"Well, while we have been to the Boston Tea Party before, and we were present for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, I don't think we've actually been in the middle of the American Revolution before," said Mr Peabody, immediately keying in the date that he had thought of.

"That's cool," commented Penny.

"Come on, let's go there, Mr Peabody!" said Sherman.

Mr Peabody inwardly smiled. He would make this one of Sherman's best trips across time, like he always did with his other trips

"Thanks for coming, France."
The blonde European nation looked around in America's house. A lot of America's things were scattered on the floor and the whole room was dusty.

France focused his attention on America, who sat down on a coach.

"C'mon France, sit down too. You can't possibly stand up for the whole conversation!" exclaimed America, patting the seat beside him.

"Oui, I will," replied France, sitting down.

America was a nice change from England. Not to say that he didn't like the stuffy Brit (he enjoyed their fights together), but America was slightly more casual than the other nations. Instead of sitting in a meeting room, they were sitting in the living room, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"I am impressed," started France, "that you were able to make it this far already."

America nodded, proud of himself for achieving victory in the Saratoga Campaign.

"I think you may actually have a chance of winning."

America looked surprised. Time for phase two of France's plan.

"You really think that, France?" grinned America. His eyes were like a child's, full of hope.

France nodded.

"Think, Amérique. New York's been through a lot last year," said France and America remembered the British gaining control of the British, the fire, the landing at Kip's Bay. He did win the Battle of Harlem Heights, but that was just only one battle.

"I will assist you in winning your Revolutionary War," said France.

"Really France?" America jumped up excitedly.

"Oui, Amérique. Oui."

And with that, France got up and left.

"Thanks, France."

France smiled. He would sign the paperwork confirming this later, but it was apparent that he had gained a new ally. And when America wins the war, he would get much-desired revenge against England for losing the Seven Years' War.

Notes:

- The second part depicts France allying with America in America's Revolutionary War. It happened shortly after the Saratoga Campaign, which the Americans won. It was the turning point in the Revolutionary War, according to Wikipedia, and boosted the Americans' morale. The French had recently lost to Britain in the Seven Years' War and saw America as an opportunity for a new ally that was opposing Britain.

grand butterfly:

I came up with this idea after seeing Mr Peabody and Sherman at the cinema last Saturday, so combining this great movie with my favourite anime, I wrote the prologue. I spent a lot of time looking at Wikipedia, and I'm not American, so please tell me if you see any historical mistakes! I wouldn't bother changing any historical mistakes until later on, but it's nice to know I'm wrong.

Thank you for reading and remember to favourite, follow and review if you like it!
