Anzac Day.

3.45 PM. 28th March.

New Zealand tapped his fingers on the table top boredly and stared at the nation currently speaking- Germany. Ah Germany~ New Zealand allowed a slight smile to grace his features as he pictured the large German as he had been last night, flushed and smiling- nothing like the serious face he was sporting today. Germany caught the smaller nation's eye and flushed ever-so-slightly when he saw the smirk but carried on none-the-less.

"Now ze next Vorld meeting vill be held in New Zealand." New Zealand decided to start paying attention at this point and focused properly on the meeting. After all, it wasn't everyday one managed to bribe the uptight German into letting them hold the next world meeting. "It vill be held on ze 25th of April." New Zealand felt the colour drain from his face and he automatically turned to look at Australia as his brother did the same. Australia's eyes were wide with surprise and he was clutching the table tightly, his knuckles turning white. New Zealand glanced at Turkey to see he had frozen, mid- yell at Greece and was slowly turning red as he glanced at Germany.

"Alright then dudes!" America laughed, jolting the three out of their shock. "Does that mean the meeting is over?" New Zealand and Australia exchanged another look and stood at the same time, Australia slamming his hands down on the table.

"New Zealand?" Germany asked. "Vhats wrong?" New Zealand ignored him and shook his head.

"We can't have the meeting on that day!" He declared while Australia and Turkey nodded in agreement.

"And why not?" Austria asked, somewhat snobbishly.

"Because that's ANZAC Day!" Australia growled. At the top of the table England took a sharp breath and tensed.

"What is'a ANZAC day?" Italy asked, tilting his head to the side.

"It's a day remembering the lives lost at Anzac Cove in Gallipoli." England answered this time, rubbing his cheek for some reason. New Zealand and Australia glared at him for a second before America spoke again.

"Well we don't celebrate it or nothin' so we can still have the meeting on that day right?" He offered, smiling brightly.

"But we celebrate it mate, and it's an important day for us!" Australia answered, shifting his weight onto his left leg. New Zealand nodded.

"What does Anzac mean?" Spain asked, patting a dozing Romano on the head.

"Australian and New Zealand Army Corps." New Zealand answered, feeling the familiar twinge of irritation at the fact that Australia had managed put his name first in the title.

"But if its Australia…and New Zealand…why did Turkey react?" Greece yawned, poking the now immobile Turk's cheek. Turkey responded this time, slapping his hand away.

"Gallipoli is in Turkey Jerkucles!" He snapped. Greece pulled a face at him but turned and fell asleep on Japan's shoulder (Earning a little squeak of surprise from the quiet nation.)

"Again, why can't we have the meeting on that day?" America asked, slurping at a milkshake he had seemingly pulled out of no-where. New Zealand glared at him.

"Really? Were you dropped on your head as a child or are you just naturally stupid?" He asked dryly. England winced at this question and America caught on straight away.

"What?! You dropped me Iggy?!" He exclaimed. England winced again.

"Only twice!" he defended himself. Most of the nations in the room turned to stare at him, China and Spain with the most disapproving gazes as both nations had raised quite a few children themselves.

"As fascinating as this conversation is, can we get back to the topic at hand?" Wales spoke up, earning a grateful glance from New Zealand (One that Germany did not miss, nor approve of).

"Ja," Germany spoke up, trying to re-assert control of this meeting. "But if ve could change it, ve vould."

"What do ya' mean 'if'?" Australia demanded, slamming his hand down on the table. Germany cast a weary glance at the pacific nation.

"Ze dates have all been set, plane tickets have been booked and rooms have been ordered." He replied, running a hand down his face and not missing the glare New Zealand sent his way. "It vould be impossible to change anything now."

New Zealand pushed away from the table and left the room, muttering something in Maori under his breath. Wales got to his feet and followed the younger nation, glancing at Germany on his way out.

"Bloody Europeans." Australia growled as he sat back down in a huff. Turkey adjusted his mask and glared down at the table. England sighed, rubbing his cheek again as if it was sore. That random floating polar bear sitting next to America gobbled down an apple. Italy let out a small 'Ve~'. Romano snored while Spain petted his hair. Germany sat back down and rubbed his temples.

"Well looks like West isn't getting any tonight! Kesesese!" Prussia broke the silence with his obnoxious laughed, soon being joined by-

"Oh ohonhonhonhonhon~" and.

"Fusososososo~"
