"Whose idea was this again?" Iceland whined from the back of the non-airconditioned rental van.
"America kindly invited us to his summer home for the week. It would have been rude to say no to such a nice offer. And besides, everyone else is going to be there." Finland grinned from the front, visibly excited to be able to spend the week together with everyone.
"But why did they have to give us a car with a broken air conditioner?" Iceland crossed his arms, annoyed and not conditioned for this kind of heat. He was used to the cool, mild summers in his homeland.
"Because, they didn't have any other rental cars that could hold us and our bags and it's too costly to rent out two cars." Norway replied, not even bothering to look up from his book. Iceland sighed, putting his face in his hand and staring out the window.
It's true. At the last world meeting, America handed out invitations to everyone for this week long "Summer Beach Party". Finland was super excited ever since, seeing as most of the nations tend to ignore the Nordics, as they do to most of the other nations. They prefer to go about their own business (unless a heated debate starts in a world meeting, then they have no problem fighting for their personal opinions on it). Of course, Denmark is the exception to the "mind their own business" idea. Anyway, this offer was so nice, Finland tried to get all the Nordics onboard with the idea. Sweden was one of the first to be onboard, mostly because he saw how happy the invite made Finland. Denmark was onboard quickly too, loving a good party. Norway eventually said ok, after various begging and bribing attempts from Denmark and Finland both. Iceland was dragged in on it, and if you asked him he would say it was against his will.
And now here they are, dressed comfortably for the weather. Finland was comfortable in a simple T-shirt and khaki shorts followed by a pair of brown sandals. Sweden sported a pair of blue jeans, a navy blue t-shirt and a pair of simple blue and white sport sneakers. Denmark dressed beach ready in a pair of red and white swim trunks, a red tank-top and cheap, black flip-flops. Norway decided it would be a good time to break out a new outfit, a navy blue hooded t-shirt with a white tank-top underneath, khaki shorts and a simple pair of blue sneakers to match the shirt. Iceland did his best to find the most comfortable, summer friendly clothing he could, clad in a light blue short sleeved buttoned up shirt, white jean shorts and slide on converse that were only a few shades darker than his shirt.
Iceland sighed, waving his had in front of his face to try and cool himself off. Oh how he missed being at home.
Norway looked over at Iceland before reaching down to grab a small, battery powered fan. He tapped it against Iceland's shoulder, getting the younger nations attention. Iceland stared at the fan intently before grabbing it, giving a quiet "thanks" in reply. Iceland held it in front of his face, content with the cooler air the small fan conjured up. He continued to stare out the window, trying to ignore the obnoxiously loud snoring coming from Denmark in the middle seats of the van.
Yeah yeah… I'm starting a new story and I have yet to even finish some of my other stories. I know. Trust me, its better I start a new one anyway. My older stories are horribly written and most of them are stupid ideas I came up with when I was 14. I'm 18 now and hoping that I am a better writer than I was then. I do plan to go through my stories and delete my older ones that I don't like and rewrite the ones I think I have a chance of saving.
Anyway, have this little… taste of the new fanfiction I am working on. The rest of the chapters will be longer than this one, but I only have time to write this little bit. I graduate from high school tomorrow (June 6th) and I need to continue getting ready for that.
Also, excuse any mistakes. I will get around to fixing that shortly. Anyway, please read and review.
