The Axis Powers' Capitals
Chapter 1_Let's Go to The Mall
It was a Saturday morning. The Axis Powers weren't training, no; they were to gather for an important meeting at 10:00 am, sharp. At Germany's house, he and his little sister Berlin had been awake for two hours and in another hour; they would hop into the car and drive to their meeting place. The same was said for Japan and his younger sister, Tokyo. Both Germany and Japan were early risers; however, the same could not be said for Italy. In the Vargas home, Italy was actually still asleep but his little brother, Rome, was awake. He had awoken at 8:00 am diligently but to his slight disappointment, his brother was still asleep. He sighed as he set his breakfast dishes in the sink and ascended the stairs to his brother's room. He knocked loudly then entered. "Brother, you have to get up eh. You'll be late to your meeting if you don't." Italy immediately shot up. "Crapola, Germany is going to kill me! Grazie, Rome." He exclaimed as he rushed to get ready. Meanwhile Germany and Japan had just arrived at the building for their meeting. They sat their capitals down in the small seating area outside their conference room. "Stay here, ja." Germany instructed Berlin. She nodded her head, "ja, bruder." Japan instructed Tokyo in the same fashion to which she responded, "hai, oniisan." Then they both turned and entered the conference room as Japan commented on Italy's absence. "Wow, Mr. Germany, you scheduled the meeting to begin much later than usual and he still arrives late." The door closed and Berlin and Tokyo were left to themselves. Tokyo began to talk to Berlin about some new anime show she had started watching.
Italy arrived, a whole 30 minutes late, but still he came. He rushed into the conference room so they could finally start what everyone knew would be a lengthy meeting with Germany presiding. Rome had sat himself to the left of Tokyo on the small couch. He greeted them both warmly, "Ciao, ladies." Tokyo grinned as did Berlin; "Ohayou-Guten morgen" they replied simultaneously. The teens talked for what seemed hours, indeed, only an hour had passed. They asked each other how the other's weekend was and then went on to ask about each other's mornings. That's when they felt they had run out of things to say. Tokyo sighed and slouched slightly in the seat while popping in an ear bud. Berlin pulled out a book and immediately was bombarded with questions from both Tokyo and Rome. "So what's it about?" Tokyo asked. "Is it any good," Rome questioned. Berlin gave a little giggle, "Wow Rome you must be really bored if you're asking me about the book I'm reading." Tokyo laughed and Rome simply shrugged. "Well it's kind of a romance/adventure novel; und yeah, it is pretty good," she went on answering their questions. Tokyo nodded and Rome looked seriously bored. "Hey so like on the way here in the car I noticed a mall…" Tokyo perked up a bit, "Oh yeah! Did you see the mall Berlin; on your way here?" Berlin thought then said, "Are you talking about the one that's just around the corner?" Rome nodded, "yup, that's the one. It looked really fun and not boring, you know." Tokyo smirked catching what he was implying. "Wish we could go," Berlin said regretfully, "it's a shame our brothers have this meeting." It was now Rome's turn to grin deviously, "don't these meetings run for like six hours straight?"
"Yeah, so?" Berlin said. "So," Tokyo began excitedly "we should totally go to the mall!" Berlin looked at the faces of her best friends. Rome was grinning like a mad man and Tokyo had a gleam in her eye that Berlin had learnt to associate with mischief. "Mein gott," Berlin mumbled helplessly. "Urm…are we sure we vant to be doing this? Didn't our big brothers specifically tell us to stay put?" Berlin asked quickly as they exited the building and made their way down the street toward the mall they had seen a few blocks away. "Oh, come on what's the big deal? We'll be back before they can even miss us. Right," Rome said looking at Tokyo who was walking on the opposite side of Berlin. Tokyo winked, "Hai! I agree with Rome! Come on Berlin let's have some fun!" Tokyo linked arms with Berlin on the left as Rome did the same on the right. They entered the mall and, "wow!" they all exclaimed. "It's so big," Tokyo said. Rome snickered and then said, "Haha, that's what she said." Tokyo gave Rome a small scowl then slapped him upside the head, "Bakayaro!" "Ow!" Rome said rubbing his now sore head. Berlin shook her head and laughed, "Dumkopft."
Tokyo then took charge, "I say we look to see if this mall has a bookstore and then look to see if they've got any manga!" Berlin smiled and Rome said, "Alright then, let's go." They had searched the mall for only five minutes but then Tokyo suddenly exclaimed, "I found it dattebayo!" Rome and Berlin jumped startled and looked at Tokyo with large circular anime eyes. Rome whispered to Berlin as they had walked in and Tokyo had immediately found the manga section, "Does she have some sort of genetically installed anime/manga finder?" Berlin shrugged, "Beats me?" They settled down to watch Tokyo read like five manga in ten minutes. Once she got bored of that; Rome said, "Okay, it'sa my turn eh. How do you all feel about some Italian food?" Berlin smiled, "You really love the carbs don't you?" Tokyo laughed and then said, "Hey I'm down; come on Berlin, you know you love Italia's food!" Berlin got a slight blush, which Rome didn't quite catch but did not go unnoticed by Tokyo. They went to the food court and Rome told them to sit down at a table while he went to go get the food. He came back with a tray of pasta and set it down on the table. They ate and conversed over their lunch. Then after they finished eating Rome sat back in his chair with a satisfied sigh.
Tokyo wiped her mouth daintily looked at Berlin and then said, "So, Berlin what do you, want to do?" "Wait me?" She asked slightly baffled. "Yes you. Do you see any other capital of Germany around here?" Rome asked with a laugh. She smiled warmly at them both and then began to speak, "Well um, I think it would be great if we-no, no never mind." Tokyo exclaimed suddenly, "What? If we could what?" Rome also gave Berlin a look of encouragement to speak her mind. "Well, before the war Bruder und I would always go und see a movie on the weekends; but now he is much too busy und I would feel bad asking him. So could we please go und see a movie at the theater," Berlin asked finishing her explanation. "AW! Of course we could!" Tokyo exclaimed. Rome nodded adding, "I'll pay, and you just pick the movie."
They made their way finally to the theater which was on the other side of the mall. Berlin chose the movie and they got in line with Rome in the lead. "Three tickets for The Lorax." He said to the woman behind the window. They each got one ticket and then they made their way to their theater. They got into the theater and decided to sit at the very top. The movie went smoothly with many laughs. Then when it was finished, they exited the theater and were walking down the large area of the mall. "Gosh that movie was great, huh guys," Rome commented with a smile. "Hai, I agree. Who would've thought that American movies would be so amusing," Tokyo said. Berlin giggled and then said, "Mein favorite part was when the Lorax said, that's a lady?!" They all laughed until they heard a familiar voice from behind them, "Well I'm glad to see you're all enjoying yourselves." Berlin's eyes widened, "Bruder, I um-" "You what!? Something could have happened to you three! I can't believe you would just-" Tokyo cut him off, "Please don't blame her Mr. Germany it isn't her fault!" "No, let him speak," Japan said seriously. Tokyo lowered her head in shame, "Hai Niisan, gomenasai." Germany sighed and ran a gloved hand through his hair. "Come, we'll finish this at home," he said to Berlin as he grabbed hold of her hand and led her away. "I'm sorry" both Rome and Tokyo said softly. Japan began speaking to Tokyo in Japanese as he led her way. "Mi dispiace, brother" Rome said to Italy. Italy sighed then grasping Rome's shoulder tightly led him away.

*Update: So my good friend Otter chan took on the task of being the official Illustrator for my OCs from this story. She has even helped me create capitals that have yet to appear in the story as of now. So far she has drawn Berlin, Rome, and Tokyo and with her permission I've posted the link to her goodleplus page so you can see what these three look like
u/0/107391334088305395336/posts
So she drew them in Gakuen Hetalia uniforms, not their everyday attire but I hope that the drawings help to give all you kind readers an idea of how they look. Thanks again for reading and everything, toodles!
