Norway had no idea why he was doing this. He's seen the movie before when it first came out, and the play quite a few times. But here he was, sitting on the couch in his home, watching Mamma Mia! with his two older brothers. He knew why Sweden wanted to watch it (he loves ABBA with an ungodly amount, he even got to meet them a few times), but Norway had no idea why Denmark wanted to watch it. But he did, and two out of three wins over Norway's vote.
So here they were, watching over-exaggerated scenes and random song inserts in Norway's living room. Really the movie wasn't that bad, but it's not one he'd watch multiple times in a year. Once a year is plenty enough for Norway. However, this is the first time he's watching it with Sweden and Denmark.
It's kind of funny how they both sing along with some of the songs in the movie. Especially, Sweden who probably knew every line even though he's a really bad singer. Norway briefly wondered exactly how many times Denmark has watched this to know the lyrics well enough.
They were nearing the end of the movie when Norway heard it. It sounded like a whimper but Norway just brushed it off as nothing and continued to pay attention to the scene that was playing. It was Meryl Streep singing "Slipping through My Fingers." It really was a nice song; she was a good singer.
Then he heard it again, but it sounded it like a sniffle coming from his left side. He glanced over and had to do a double-take to be sure. Denmark, who was sitting in between him and Sweden, had tears running down his face. His nose was running, face was red, and shoulders were shaking but he continued to keep his eyes trained on the movie, barely even blinking.
Norway would have laughed but then he saw Sweden in a similar predicament. The usually stoic Swede also had tears running down his cheeks and his eyes were screwed shut as a hand pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed his eyes.
"Really…?" Norway deadpanned staring at his brothers.
"Shhhhh!" Denmark shushed loudly and Sweden briefly glared at Norway before they turned back to the movie and continued to bawl their eyes out.
Norway rolled his eyes.
This was the last time he was watching a movie with them.

I did it, Ana. :)

So, listen to "Slipping through My Fingers" if you haven't, and then you'll see why they act the way they do xD
By the way, I actually love Mamma Mia!, so I'm not trying to bash it or anything. It's just Norway's opinion xD
Thanks for reading!
