Romano had woken up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. He was slightly relieved when he opened his eyes to see that Veneziano was sleeping in his own bed for the first time since they ran off together. On the way back to his room, he heard small giggles coming from behind Veneziano's door. He was slightly annoyed that Ven was awake and knew that if he didn't go shut him up he would hear his brother through the wall and never get back to sleep. For a few seconds wondered what horrors he might find on the other side. Deciding it was probably safe, Romano pushed open the door to Veneziano's room as his northern half laughed loudly. His brother was sitting in front of a computer, reading what was on the screen intensely. He seemed lost in land of the interwebs.
"What are you doing?" Romano asked from the doorway. "Unlike you, a few of us are trying to get some sleep." He walked over to the window and pulled the curtains open. "Look!" he pointed. "It's dark out! You're causing a disturbance." When the southern nation didn't get a response he walked over and smacked his brother on the side of his head. "Ven! Are you listening to me?"
Veneziano glanced up. For a few seconds he looked slightly confused, but eventually remembered where he was and smiled widely. "Oh! Hey Romano! Where did you come from?"
Romano curled his hands into fist and clenched his jaw. "South Italy," he hissed as an answer. "Now. What. Are. You. Doing?"
"I found this! Look! It's a story about us! And Japan! And China! And all the others! You have to come read it! I'm only on the first chapter, but I can tell it's going to be a great story!"
Romano bent over and read the chapter over his brother's shoulder. How does a citizen know what goes on in the presentation ceremonies? he thought to himself.
"Tell me when you want me to change chapters, Romano!" Ven told his brother cheerfully, knocking him out of his thoughts.
Romano scowled and took the mouse from his brother's hand. "As nice as this story looks..." he clicked on the chapters bar and scanned the chapter names until he found out that looked promising. He changed the page to chapter twelve and began reading.
"What are you doing?" Veneziano gasped, averting his eyes from the page. "That's not the second chapter!"
"I'm skipping ahead so I can read the part where I come in." Romano said in a bored tone. "I want to see if this writer person showed my good side. And maybe we'll find out how this person knows so many things about our lives. Isn't this a bit odd? Is this website full of stuff like this?"
"You can't do that!" Ven argued at him, ignoring all of his questions.
"Yes I can!" Romano picked up the mouse and waved it. "I have this. I believe that's how it works. He who has control of the mouse has control of the screen."
"But...NO!" Veneziano started struggling with his brother for the mouse. "You can't just skip ahead. How am I supposed to know what happens in the story? I'll be lost and confused! We have to go back to the beginning!"
"Veneziano! You have lived this story. I'm sure you can figure out what happens. Besides, we're not in the beginning, you idiot."
"Yes we were! We were, Romano!" He yelled finally yanking the mouse away and switching to the first chapter again. "We were there the whole time!"
"But that's not in the story! No one knows that!" Romano had apparently forgotten that people were trying to sleep just across the hall.
"If it means that much to you we should contact the writer and see if she'll let us tell our side of the story," Veneziano grumbled to himself.
"That's a stupid idea!" Romano shook his head. "But I have one. Why don't we see if we can talk to this guy and make him let us tell our side of the story."
"That's a great idea, Romano!" Veneziano smiled widely.
Romano straightened and walked to the bed, sitting down. "It can be like a bonus. A behind the scenes to show a more intimate side of the story. It'll be our story within Japan's story!"
"Because people don't know we were there even though we were there, so we have to be the one's to tell them we were there! Right?"
"That's exactly right," Romano said, nodding slowly. He walked out of the room, returning a few moments later with his laptop.
"Does that mean we're going to start from the beginning?" Veneziano asked, pulling up a blank document on his computer.
Romano typed in the URL to the website, opening the story and setting it to fill half the screen and then pulled up a word document for the other half. Scanning the first chapter he replied, "Oh no, Ven. We're going to go way back. We're going to start before the beginning."
A/N
Well, here it is. You guys asked for it and I'm presenting it! This is the parody of the Lion King one and a half (Or Lion King 3 if you're outside the US).
I hope you all enjoyed this opening chapter and will take the time to review.
I also hope you all will have a good night and DFTBA.
