Hello to all my lovely readers. So this is my first ever story I'm posting so go easy on me guys. Anyways, enjoy
Gilbert could hardly contain himself. He was bouncing in the front seat of the car next to where his brother was driving. Ludwig rolled his eyes as he pulled into the parking lot of where the meeting was to start in approximately half an hour. As soon as they were in the parking lot Gilbert threw himself towards the window once again and looked eagerly out of it, sticking his head out and grinning widely. He seemed to be enjoying this experience even more than your average dog. Ludwig swore if the door wasn't there to hold his brother in the vehicle he would have lost him a long time ago somewhere on the road.
"Bruder, are you sure you're ok?" Ludwig asked for what must have been the 10th time since they got in the car, as he was starting to fear for his older brothers' mental state.
"Ja, ja, I'm great. Awesome in fact. Like always"
"Then can you sit still for the next five seconds and listen to me" Ludwig said as he parked the car.
Gilbert turned to Ludwig with his wide grin still there. "Yes Luddy?" he asked innocently.
"Look, I don't know why you wanted to come so bad today but I'm warning you know don't you dare be pulling one of your elaborate schemes again. We've got a lot of important material to cover so busy yourself with updating your blog and eating all the free snacks in the café as always"
"Yes sir" Gilbert saluted.
Ludwig sighed.
"You can go now." Gilbert dropped his salute, opened the door and slammed it violently, causing the car to shake. As Gilbert shot out of the car he ran towards the building and crashed into the door. After getting himself unstuck from the revolving door he ran towards the elevator eagerly and waited for it to come.

As soon as he arrived on the floor the meeting was to take place he checked to see no one was around before entering the room. He figured he had about 10 minutes before Ludwig showed up, as he always stopped to greet everyone downstairs and then take the remaining time in the bathroom to straighten his suit, tie, hair and glasses. Everybody else wouldn't be here for at least 20, being more or less normal people. Gilbert thanked his brother for being abnormally obsessed with arriving early as this gave him the perfect time to carry out his plan.
He popped open the cork top from the small vial he had hidden in his pants pocket. As he popped the vial open it gave out a small hiss and a puff out bluish air escaped from it. He decided to smell it out of curiosity. That decision he soon regretted. It smelled like Bengay, prunes, mothballs and talcum powder. As he gagged and tried not to throw up he ran towards the window to open it and stick his head out of it. He breathed the fresh air in in relief.
"Scheiße, what's in that? Well at least I know I grabbed the right one" Gilbert said as he walked away from the window.

"Hee,hee. Who should I pick?" He laughed as he glanced down at the glasses of water set out in front of him.
"Bruder is an obvious choice. With him being all old he'll finally give me a chance to sleep in. Plus old people are always tired anyways so they need plenty of rest so that should take care of old Luddy staying out of my business during the day while taking naps"
"America is a good choice too. He's too hyper. Being old would calm him down a bit too and shut him up during the meetings. His constant talking is always interfering and interrupting my awesome thoughts"
"But who else? Hmm…" Gilbert pondered and drummed with his hands on the table.
"Eh, forget it. All this thinking is giving the awesome me a headache. I'll just drop this stuff into five random glasses and see who ends up drinking it"
As he dropped the blue liquid from the vial into the five glasses of water he shuffled them around with the ones containing regular water and set one at each seat around the meeting table. He put the vial with a small bit of remaining liquid back into his pocket. As soon as he was done Gilbert stepped back to admire his work.
"He, he. This is my awesome idea yet" he said as he patted Gilbird and then himself on the shoulder.
"Now to make sure everybody actually does get thirsty and drink their water…" he walked over to the thermometer and reset it from the current 70 degrees to a toasty 86 degrees " … there. No one will be able to take this heat without a drink"
Just as he finished messing with thermometer Ludwig walked in and put his briefcase down on the table. Gilbert quickly spun around.
"Hey bruder. How's it going? You know your hair looks extra smooth today" he said glancing up at Ludwig's head and trying to distract him with a compliment.
"Uh, danke Gilbert." He said as he reached up to touch his slicked back blond hair. "Wait, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay out of here today!"
"I was just helping out. See? I set up water for everybody and even opened the window so there's fresh air. Fresh air helps you think you know" he said tapping his skull. "Anyways, Auf Wiedersehen, I'm going outside to enjoy my fresh air to get ideas for my blog." He turned and sprinted down the hall before Ludwig could question him further.
Ludwig was just about to yell for Gilbert to come back as Feliciano walked in.
"Ah, Germany! I missed you so much!" He said as he jumped on him and pulled him into a hug, knocking them both of balance and sending them crashing down to the floor. Normally Ludwig wouldn't have fallen but he was distracted with his brothers' stranger than usual behavior he hadn't noticed the small energetic Italian come in. Even though they were now on the floor Feliciano continued to have Ludwig in a vice grip hug as he rolled on the ground with him.
"Ah, ah, ow!" Ludwig yelled as his limbs hit the chair legs.
"Ah, Italy, get off of me!" he finally said as they both sat up and emerged from behind the table.
"Ohonhonhon" Francis laughed as he walked in with Arthur next. "I could have waited outside if I knew you two were busy" he said with a sly grin.
Ludwig just growled under his breath as they both rose, with Feliciano attached to Ludwig's leg.

Soon everyone else arrived and the room turned into more chaos as usual. While everyone was yelling and trying threating to kill each other Gilbert lurked around the corner.
"Perfect. Looks like everybody came today. Let's see how my awesome plan goes Gilbird, hee, hee" Gilbert laughed as he went back to the café. After all that's where all the snacks were.

As Alfred was talking about pipes with oil running from Canada to the U.S. Ludwig couldn't help but unbutton his jacket and loosen his tie a bit. It was unusually warm for March today, and the open window wasn't doing much. He grabbed for his water and immediately drank half the glass. Looking around the room he noticed everyone else looked hot too. Francis went as far as taking off his jacket, tie, and unbuttoning half of his dress shirt and was lounging back. Even gentlemanly Arthur pulled out his handkerchief and was mopping his eyebrows with it.
Suddenly Alfred stopped talking. "Sorry dudes, I gotta take a break for a sec. I'm so hot" he said as he took of his trademark bomber jacket.
"Yes, it is unusually warm today." Ludwig said agreeing. "Let's take a quick 10 minute break." Alfred immediately plopped back into his seat he grabbed his glass of water and chugged the whole thing.
Gilbert then decided to walk in. "Hey everybody!" he called out throwing the door open. "How's your unawesome meeting going!?"
"It's really hot dude." Alfred said fanning himself with his speech papers. "I think I need more water." Gilbert grinned in approval at this.
"Ah, yes, yes, please have another glass of water. I noticed it to be real hot in here when I walked in. And not just because you all got blessed with my awesome body and presence." He held up another glass of water to Alfred. "Don't want to get dehydrated now. That's unawesome"
"Thanks Prussia." He said as he started to drink his second glass. Everybody else followed and raised their glasses to drink the cool water in hopes of being less hot for a moment. Minutes later everybody had drank their water.
"Germany, I feel funny" Feliciano said holding his stomach.
"Yeah, feel kinda funny myself" Alfred said as his hands wandered to his stomach too.
"As do I" Arthur said.
"Me too" came a small voice from somewhere in the room.
"Well, if all of you feel sick then get out of…" Ludwig was cut off as a funny feeling hit his stomach as well. Suddenly he put two and two together. Gilbert. Wanting to really be here and all excited, then setting up the water, and now coming in and encouraging everyone to drink.
"Prussia! What the hell did you do to the water!?" Ludwig demanded, leaping out of his chair and slamming his hands down on the table.
Gilbert's ruby eyes went wide at this. "Me? Why, I did nothing to it except give a glass of it to everybody because of my awesome kindness."
"Verdammt Prussia! I swear when I find out what you did I will personally-" that's as far as Ludwig got before he fell back into his chair and passed out.
Within seconds along with Ludwig Alfred, Arthur, Feliciano, and Matthew all passed out in their chairs as well. Gilbert glanced around the room to see how the remaining nations were reacting to this. For the most part they sat silently in their seats and were staring at the limp bodies of the five.
Ivan broke the silence and laughed. "So now that there are less of the remaining all will become one with me? What a wonderful plan Prussia."
"No Russia. I didn't get rid of anyone. They'll all wake up soon. I think. Meanwhile I got an awesome plan." Gilbert grinned devilishly and reached into his back pocket and pulled out a black marker and walked over to Ludwig. He grabbed his brothers' head and turned it towards him.
"You know Luddy, I always thought you'd look pretty awesome with a mustache" he said as he popped off the cap with his teeth and spit it out. "Now you will" he added as he proceeded to beautify Ludwig.
"Prussia?" Francis asked.
"Yes?"
"Can I have a marker too? For Angleterre?"
He grinned and tossed his friend a marker too.
