Hey, guys! This is my first Hetalia fanfic. You can thank Angel the Neko for getting me into the Hetalia fandom a few months ago. I love the movie and play Hairspray and Hetalia, so why not make a Hetalia version of Hairspray? I think yes. :D
So, here are the roles.
Tracey Turnblad: Hungary (she isn't overweight in this one. Her "big" personality means something else...)
Edna Turnblad: Poland (he's a cross dresser in this one. That was his original design anyway)
Wilbur Turnblad: Austria
Penny Pingleton: China
Link Larkin: Italy (instead of focusing on food, his focus will be on dancing and singing)
Seaweed Stubs: America
Motormouth Maybelle: England (female)
Corny Collins: Prussia
Amber Von Tussle: Ukraine
Velma Von Tussle: Belarus
Mrs. Pingleton: Beijing (She is not even a fan made character, so I'm just using the country name)
Little Inez: Sealand
Mr. Spritzer: Germany
The Dancers on Corny Collins Show: France, Russia, Canada, Liechtenstein, Estonia, Belgium, Japan, Seychelles, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Wy, Taiwan, Greece, Latvia, and Lithuania
Police Officers: Turkey, Romano, Netherlands, and Spain
America's Posse (meaning the dancers and singers): All will be named from various states in America
Misc. Teachers: Monaco, Hong Kong. All other misc. teachers will be named from various European cities.
Misc. Students: All will be named from various European cities and American states.
I will be using most, if not all, of the songs in Hairspray. I know that I will have to alter the lyrics so it will make sense. And it probably won't rhyme.
I know that the roles may seem a little mixed-matched, but I based the Hetalia characters on their roles that match the personality of their character and so the pairings are ones that actually exist. If you want a detailed answer on why I chose characters the way I did, feel free to send a review with your question(s) and I'll happily PM you. After more boring intro stuff, enjoy the first chapter! :D

Summary: AU. Hairspray Hetalia style. Hungary is a small girl with big dreams of dancing on her favorite show, the Awesome Prussia Show. However, Hungary also has a dream of worldwide freedom. When her views get on bad terms with the show's producer Belarus and her spoiled daughter Ukraine, how will Hungary stay on the show? ItaHun and USChi. This does take place in the 60s.
Chapter 1 The Nicest Kid in Town
The Earth seemed quiet and calm as the sun rose early in the morning. All the countries were preparing for their day. However, there was one country that was still lying in bed, flipping around under the covers.
Teenage Hungary continued to snooze, a thin line of drool dribbling down the corner from her mouth. Suddenly, her alarm clock came to life at seven am sharp. Hungary sluggishly opened her eyes. Staring at her clock, she silenced the shrill sound by destroying it with her handy frying pan.
Then, Hungary sat up happily, looking around her room. She swung her legs over her bed and slid her feet into her fuzzy slippers. Yawning, Hungary headed to her closet to take out one of her many blouses and skirts. Dress codes can be quite a pain. However, that didn't thwart Hungary's good morning. After dressing herself quickly, Hungary walked over to her mirror, ready for the main course of her morning routine.
She grabbed her loyal can of Ultra-Clutch hairspray, the chemicals that always kept her flowing sandy hair from shriveling and curling. Grinning to herself, Hungary raised the can to her hair. She pressed the nozzle a bit too hard, causing the misty miracle to enclose her entire face. Hungary coughed as used her hand to fan away the spray.
"I need to get my head out of the clouds... literally." Hungary giggled.
After completing finishing touches on her hair, Hungary left her house, ready for another wonderful day. She began her journey to her high school. Hungary was feeling so happy-go-lucky that she began to softly sing to herself.
"Oh, oh, oh. Woke up today. Feeling the way I always do. Oh, oh, oh. Hungry for something that I can't eat."
Hungary believes in freedom of every kind, whether its freedom for any kind of marriage, freedom in government, freedom in immigration, or freedom in speech. It was the year 1961, and freedom was a touchy issue with many of those topics. However, Hungary was "hungry" for peace.
Hungary continues on her way, smiling in greeting to other fellow European countries.
"Then I hear that beat, the rhythm of town starts calling me down. It's like a message from high above." Hungary continued to sing softly, excitement evident in her voice. "Oh, oh, oh. Pulling me out to the smiles and the streets that I love!"
Hungary began to sing out loud. She couldn't contain her high spirit anymore.
"Good morning Europe! Every day's like an open door. Every night is a fantasy. Every sound's like a symphony. Good morning Europe! And some day when I take to the floor. The world's gonna wake up and see. Europe and me!"
Hungary ran along the sidewalk, but she stopped when she saw a glass window that belonged to a bar. She took a moment to look at herself in the mirror, admiring her hair.
"Oh, oh, oh. Look at my hair. What "do" can compare with mine today? Oh, oh, oh. I've got my hairspray and radio. I'm ready to go!"
Hungary continued her walk when she spotted several hungry looking rats. Hungary smiled thoughtfully. She remembered that her old friend Holy Rome Empire never liked rats. Compassionate, Hungary tossed some bread crumbs to them, and they gobbled up the food hungrily.
The rats look up at Hungary in gratitude and began running around her feet, as if they were dancing. Hungary grinned cheekily as she continued to sing.
"The rats on the street. All dance round my feet. They seem to say, "Hungary, it's up to you". So, oh, oh. Don't hold me back. 'Cause today all my dreams will come true!"
Hungary thought about her favorite show, the Awesome Prussia Show. All she thought about is dancing on that show. She knows that she's a good dancer, now all she needs is the awesome Prussia to notice her talent. Determined, Hungary resumed her walk.
"Good morning Baltimore! There's the flasher who lives next door!" Hungary waved hello to Nevada, an American state who was known for its wildness in Las Vegas. He waved hello back, and proceeded to open his jacket to the world, causing several other European countries to scream in shock.
Hungary winced and walked on, laughing on the inside.
Nevada needs to get his act together. I can see why some countries don't want Americans here. She thought to herself.
Then, Hungary walked past another bar. She recognized Rome sitting in there, drunk and surrounded by beautiful women.
"There's the bum on his bar room stool. They wish me luck on my way to school!"
Hungary waved hello, and Rome managed to wave back before passing out from the alcohol.
"Good morning Europe! And some day when I take to the floor. The world's gonna wake up and see, Europe and me!"
Hungary stopped again as she thought about her favorite program. She involuntarily began to dance to the steps from one of the episodes.
"I know every step. I know every song. I know there's a place where I belong. I see all those party lights shining ahead. So someone invite me before I drop dead!"
Hungary was nearing her bus stop, but before she continued, she gave herself a little pep talk.
"So, oh, oh. Give me a chance! 'Cause when I start to dance I'm a movie star. Oh, oh, oh. Something inside of me makes me move when I hear the groove. My ma tells me no. But my feet tell me go! It's like a drummer inside my heart!"
The bus pulled up the stop, and kids started to get on. Hungary hadn't noticed yet, as she decided that this would be the perfect moment to bust another move. However, he bus driver wasn't impressed, since he began to drive off.
Hungary looked around and gasped in shock as the yellow transportation vehicle left her in the dust. Hungary looked around, manically looking for another ride. She spotted a wine truck carrying the day's shipment. Hungary ran out into the street.
"Oh, oh, oh. Don't make me wait. One more moment for my life to start...!"
Hungary lifted her arms, signaling the truck to stop. Minutes later, she was leisurely hitchhiking on the back end of the truck, surround by scrumptious red wine.
"I love you Europe!" Hungary sang to the sky. "Every day's like an open door. Every night is a fantasy. Every sound's like a symphony. And I promise Europe! That someday when I take to the floor, the world's gonna wake up and see! Gonna wake up and see! Europe and me!"
Hungary jumped off the back of the truck when she reached her high school. She waved at the driver in thanks as she stepped on school grounds.
"Europe and me!" Hungary sang in excitement. "Europe and me!"
Hungary once again paid no attention to her surroundings. All of the students were heading inside for the first class of the day.
"Europe and meeeeeee!"
Hungary's high note came to a close as the flat note of the school bell brought her back down to Earth.
"Oh, no! I'm late again!" Hungary moaned.
She hurried inside school, hoping that her teacher Monaco won't count her tardy.
Thankfully, grumpy Monaco didn't notice Hungary's temporary absence, so Hungary sat down at her desk. After a while, Monaco's lesson on various mountains bored the country, and she decided to look at the classroom clock to kill time. She kept flipping her long hair behind her. Finally, the student behind her, Dijon, raised his hand to complain.
"Monaco, Hungary's hair keeps getting in my face again, and it's hard to concentrate."
Hungary was spacing out, so she was oblivious to Monaco's glare.
"Elizabeta Héderváry!" Monaco called out.
Hungary sat up at the use of her full name. "Yes?"
"If I have to write you up for classroom distractions one more time, you will be removed to detention."
"But Monaco, I can't help my hair." Hungary protested. "I like it long, and I don't want it short and boring..."
Hungary cut herself off as she saw Monaco look down at her own short hair.
"It's... no... ugh, you know what I mean." Hungary finished, flustered.
Rolling her eyes, Monaco continued teaching.
"And the Andes are the longest mountain range in the world. The shortest is the Sutter Buttes."
Hungary groaned and put her head down.
Hungary was sitting in her last class of the day, chemistry. Her teacher, Hong Kong, was talking about different chemicals. All Hungary heard was "Blah, blah, blah, blah."
Hungary tapped her pencil on her table, staring at the clock. She grinned as the clock read 3:30. The bell rang right on cue. Hungary was the first one up as she ran to go meet up with her best friend.
As the clock was ticking to four pm, The Awesome Prussia Show was setting up for its live broadcast, so Hungary knew she didn't have much time to waste. Hungary spotted her said friend China waiting by the front door. Hungary grabbed his hand and continued running.
"Ah! Hungary!" China cried, not expecting her to just take off with him.
"We have to hurry!" Hungary replied.
Two different countries like China and Hungary becoming friends isn't merely a coincidence. During this time, China was being influenced by the American Communist Party, and since The United States is very slowly influencing Europe, China is along for the ride. However, the Chinese were very strict during the 60s, so they couldn't do many wild but awesome things the Europeans and Americans get to do... which includes watching The Awesome Prussia Show. China has to sneak away from his strict mother Beijing in order to even visit Hungary's house.
When China and Hungary first met, she believed that China was a girl, due to his long, dark hair and his adorable brown eyes. However, it turned out that China was homosexual, a preference that he knew Beijing and many other countries would never except. However, Hungary did, and the two hit it off immediately. Besides, Hungary's "mother" is a cross dresser, so she's used to guys.
As the two friends rushed home, Hungary continually pushed through slow people walking on the sidewalk. At the same time, all of the star countries on The Awesome Prussia Show were busy putting on makeup, combing their hair, and/or applying Ultra-Clutch hairspray to their already stiff hair.
China huffed as Hungary continued to pull him through the streets. China's red handmade coat was flowing in the wind, constantly getting latched onto lampposts. So far, Hungary has almost gotten them killed twice. Hopefully, the third time won't be the charm.
"One minute till show time!" The Awesome Prussia Show producer called to all the dancers.
The girls were stuffing their bras with tissue paper so it would look like they actually had a chest. However, there was one dancer that didn't even need a push up bra...
Hungary abruptly stopped at the window of a TV store, causing China to collide with her. She saw on the many TVs that The Awesome Prussia Show was coming on next. Without warning, Hungary took off with China again.
"Slow down, Hungary!" China moaned. "You're going to get us killed!"
"If I can't see The Awesome Prussia Show, there's no point in living!" Hungary replied.
"Hey, speak for yourself!" China rolled his eyes. "I'd die because of something more meaningful, like my mother."
Hungary laughed as the two neared her father, Austria's, house, who owned a music shop ranging from toy instruments to grand pianos.
Hungary quickly opened the door to the store.
"Hi, Dad!" Hungary greeted quickly.
She ran off again with China's "Good afternoon Mr. Austria!" lingering behind.
"Huh?" Austria said, confused. Shaking his head, Austria continued selling a trumpet to a man.
"That's my daughter." He said to the customer, chuckling.
All of the dancers on The Awesome Prussia Show got into their positions.
"Hey! Someone give the awesome me a nose powdering! My nose looks splotchy in this lighting!" Prussia demanded.
One of his assistants ran up to him and did as he asked before hurrying off the set.
Hungary had to drag China in her living room, who was slowing down.
"Come on! It's about to start!" Hungary cried.
"My mom said I'm not allowed to mess up my hair!" China protested, quickly tightening his ponytail.
"Oh, whatever! Tell your mom to stuff a sock in it." Hungary rolled her eyes.
"Trust me, I've wanted to." China said as Hungary turned on the TV.
At that moment, The Awesome Prussia Show started. The logo appeared on the screen, and Awesome Prussia himself appeared on the screen with the teenage dancers grooving behind him.
"Hello there! Don't switch that channel, because the awesome me is now taking over your TV screen. That's right; it's time for The Awesome Prussia Show, brought to you by Ultra-Clutch hairspray that looks awesome on me!"
The show's theme music, "The Nicest Kids in Town", started playing and Prussia and the other dancers began to sing. Hungary and China began to dance around and shake their moneymakers. China never felt this free anywhere except at Hungary's house.
Meanwhile in The Awesome Prussia Show studio, the lead dancer, Ukraine, was trying to dance in front of everybody so the camera would be focused on her. Then, Belgium purposefully bumped Ukraine, causing the spoiled girl to gasp and stumble. After glaring at the country for a second, Ukraine put on her fake smile and continued dancing. Ukraine's mother, Belarus, watched from the sidelines with criticizing eyes.
Those other girls don't hold a candle to my lovely daughter. Belarus thought.
Finally, when it was time for roll call, Hungary and China stopped dancing and watched in suspension for the last name.
"Roll call!" Prussia cried, moving out of the way.
Ukraine strutted towards the camera, taking her sweet time.
"I'm Ukraine." She said, batting her eyelashes.
The next dancer, France, moved her out of the way. "France!"
"Canada!"
"Who?" The dancers asked, looking around.
"I'm Canada!" The quiet country repeated, sweat dropping.
Everyone shrugged and continued with roll call.
"Russia!"
"Seychelles!"
"Estonia!"
"Moscow!"
"Japan!"
"Liechtenstein!"
"Switzerland!"
"Denmark!"
"Belgium!"
"Wy!"
"Finland!"
"Taiwan!"
"Norway!"
"Greece!"
"Latvia!"
"Lithuania!"
When the twins finished, Hungary and China held their breath for the man they've been waiting for. Just then, the ginger haired dreamboat appeared with that infamous sexy curly string of hair sticking out on his left.
"And I'm..." All of Europe's favorite dancer did a little dance before saying. "...Italy."
China and Hungary screamed and fangirled and fanboyed together as Italy made his appearance. His suave Italian accent was too beautiful for words. Prussia continued to sing, finishing off the rest of the opening number.
"So, if every night you're shaking s you lie in bed. And the bass and drums are pounding in your head. Who cares about sleep, when you can snooze in school? They'll never get to college but they sure look cool, but not as cool as me! Don't need a cap and a gown 'cause they're the nicest kids in town!"
Before Prussia ended, Hungary's "mother", Poland, entered the living room, annoyed.
"Would you turn that racket down?" Poland asked, putting his hands on his hips.
After being married to Austria after all this time, Poland has taken a liking to classical music, not the music we call "rock and roll". Poland currently had rollers in the top part of his blond hair, and had sported a dusty rose housecoat.
"I'm trying to sew clothes, here." Poland finished, muttering. He left the living room while Hungary and China continued rocking out.
"The nicest kids in... kids in town!" Prussia and the rest of the dancers finished.
China and Hungary clapped as though they were in the audience.
"Mom, it's not racket, it's The Awesome Prussia Show!" Hungary said, finally addressing Poland.
Even though she knew Poland was male, she still calls him mother, because he certainly has been a great one to her.
"Poland!" A familiar voice called.
China froze. "Oh no, it's my mother!"
Hungary motioned for China to hide behind the couch. Hungary started to dance as if she had been doing that the entire time.
Beijing came through the living room, and acknowledged Hungary before speaking to Poland.
"Poland, have my tops been sewn back?" Beijing asked, impatient.
"Yup. That'll be five dollars." Poland replied.
"That seems a bit much for three blouses." Beijing huffed.
"Well, your thriving sex life certainly showed itself in the bust area of you blouses." Poland replied. "Unfortunately, I had to do a lot of sewing to get these back to normal."
Beijing huffed and looked away. "I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about."
While Poland folded up the fixed blouses, Beijing looked at Hungary following the steps of a new dance that debuted on The Awesome Prussia Show.
"Just look at her dancing to that sinful music." Beijing told Poland snootily. "My dear son China spends every day at the library."
"Oh, really?" Poland replied. "Well your daughter happens to be-"
"Ahem!" Hungary said loudly.
She flailed her arms at her mother, trying to tell her not to say anything.
"And what is this?" Poland asked, staring at his daughter in wonder.
Hungary did her best to signal Poland to not say anything about China.
"You... China..." Poland said, trying to make out the message.
Beijing snapped her head up at the mentioning of her son. Poland gasped when he finally figured out what Hungary was saying.
"Elizabeta Héderváry, are you trying to say that China came over here without permission?"
"China!" Beijing cried as she saw him come out from behind the couch.
Hungary face palmed. Sometimes Poland has no idea when to keep his mouth closed.
"You are forever banned from this house!" Beijing cried as she took China from the arm. "And you will never watch that show again!"
"You never let me have any fun!" China whined as Beijing dragged him away.
"No fun builds character!" Beijing shouted, pushing China out the door.
"Goodbye, Poland." Beijing called before leaving.
Hungary grimaced, but smiled to herself, knowing that China would be back eventually.
And that is it for chapter 1! What will happen next on The Awesome Prussia Show? Will Hungary's dream ever come true? Will China ever be free from his mother? You'll find this and more out from chapter 2 and beyond. Thanks for taking the time to read this! And remember...
