A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back with another story. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about the others. Life and all... But I really wanted to do this idea. I already have the entire story planned out and have two chapters written. Also, this isn't the normal fluff that I usually write. It is more of a horror/adventure story. I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or any of its characters.


Chapter 1: Of Notes and Planning

The blond haired American was dozing off in the middle if his World Geography class, when it hit him. Right in the back of the head. A dull thud sounded on the floor beside him.

Leaning over, Alfred quickly grabbed the ball of paper before hiding it underneath his text book. The teacher was droning on about the upcoming test on about the upcoming test on the changes in country borders over the past millennium. Once he figured it was safe, the blond uncrumpled the paper and read it quickly.

Yo, I heard a rumor recently about that forest just outside of town. -Prussia

Alfred rolled his eyes. Of course Gilbert insisted on using 'code-names' when passing notes in class to avoid getting in trouble and it had worked the first two times. However, Mr. Empire was no idiot and had quickly caught on to who was who. By this point in the school year Romulus had given up on trying to keep them from passing notes in class and usually let it slide, as long as there wasn't a test going on. He didn't let on that he was allowing it, however, because whenever the boys were being 'sneaky' at least they weren't disrupting his class. So, the teacher counted it as a win.

Okay, dude. What about it? -America

He quickly passed it back and returned to blankly staring at his half filled in worksheet. It was nearly five minutes later before the note had found its way back onto his desk. Apparently, Gilbert had suckered their friend Mathias into the conversation.

It's said to be super haunted or something like that. They say that anyone who tries to spend the night there either doesn't even last an hour or they disappear forever. You know we would be totally awesome if we could prove everyone wrong! -Prussia

Ummm… I am pretty darn sure everyone knows that rumor is fake… And who would actually want to spend the night in some creep old forest anyway. -Denmark

Come on, let's do it! We will be soooo awesome! -Prussia

Fine. I'll go if America does… -Denmark

Come on America, what do you say? Friday night. Become a real hero! -Prussia

Alfred shook his head and swiftly wrote his reply.

I'm already a real hero, loser. And I can't. There is a big game coming up and I have practice Saturday. -America

He tossed the note back and seconds later he heard a loud huff from the back of the room.

This drew the attention if their teacher. "Is there a problem, Gilbert?" Mr. Antiqua asked.

"This worksheet." Gilbert answered quickly. "It's so unawesome."

"I'm sorry that my lesson doesn't live up to your standards, Mr. Beilschmidt. I'm sure we can discuss how to make it more 'awesome' after class in detention. While we're at it we can also discuss why your grade is so 'unawesome' as well."

There was the sound of a few snickers coming from around the room. "Nah, I'll figure the answers out, sir." The albino teen looked back at his paper.

"Next time you have an outburst in my class it won't be optional."

Quiet fell over the room again as the students went back to their work. Moments later there was a dull thud beside the American's desk again. He carefully unfolded the paper, only to grow frustrated by the words written on the paper.

Well, I guess birdie and I will just have to enjoy a whole awesome night in the woods. Alone. Together. Just the two of us. Since he already agreed to go with me. -Prussia

The blond slammed his hand on his desk and stood up quickly. With anger all over his face he turned and looked his friend in the eyes. "Like hell you are. Count me in and stay away from my brother."

"Kesese~ My house. Tonight at seven." Gilbert smirked.

Before the American teen could turn back around there was an ominous presence hovering behind him. "Jones, Beilschmidt. You have both earned yourselves a thirty minute detention after school. Now set down and finish your worksheets or it will be the principal's office next."


Later that night

"Are you sure about this, Gil?"

"Of course I am, Birdie. We'll be totally awesome heroes after this." Gilbert beamed. "Besides, it's just one night in the forest. What's the worst that could happen?"

"One of us could get hurt or even die. You're just lucky it isn't hunting season right now." The Canadian sighed hugging Gilbert's pillow.

"You worry too much, bro." Matthew's half-brother waved him off. "We'll just go and camp out then come home in the morning. It's not like we are hiking the entire woods or anything. We can even set up tents like we used to when we were kids."

The Dane piped in and added, "Plus, what else are you going to do on a Friday night? There aren't any parties this weekend, not that you go to them anyway. Still, you can't stay hidden in that house forever, Matthew."

"Fine," the Canadian huffed.

With a grin the German albino wrapped his arm around his friends shoulders. "Plus, we get to spend some quality time together." The youngest blond's face began to glow bright red and looked away.

Alfred threw his controller at Gilbert, just barely missing both of the teens who were sitting on the bed. "Hands off, perv."

Through a glare, Gilbert took his arm from around Matthew and stuck his tongue out at the American. "Anyway, since Al's being totally unawesome tonight, how about we figure out what to bring on our expedition."

"Water, first aid kit, tents, and sleeping bags? Maybe some snacks," Matthew suggested taking Gilbert's laptop from its spot on the desk beside the bed. "We probably should look to see if there are any clearings in the forest."

"That's an awesome idea, Birdie, but how are we going to do that?"

"Google Earth," The Canadian's voice replied softly as he pulled up the satellite imaging program up. "It will also give us a general idea of the area, too."

"You're so smart, Birdie," a smile appeared on the albino's lips. He leaned closer to his shy friend and peered at the screen as their town came into view.

After scanning the forest for any clearings, the pair found on nearly two miles away from where they planned to enter. Not too far from the clearing was the river that led out of the forest and into the large lake to the north of town. The group of teens decided that it would be best to keep the river in mind just in case they were to get lost.


Friday Night: Just before Sunset

"Dude, this is going to be amazing," the blue eyed teen cheered. He shifted his backpack into a more comfortable position.

"I don't know, Al. I still feel like this isn't the best idea." The quieter brother tried to reason.

"Whatever, bro. You can go home and study or whatever you do."

"Come on, Birdie. You've already committed when you said you would go with me. I am not letting you back out now." Gilbert took hold of the Canadian's arm and guided him into the forest.

Matthew gave up on protesting and settled into following his brother and friend. Mathias on the other hand stayed back a bit looking at the sky with a curious expression. In the distance, he could see a column of smoke rising from somewhere in the forest. He was almost positive that it was coming from the direction they were heading towards. The expression quickly changed back to his goofy, child-like grin when his friends called for him to catch up. He couldn't help but wonder who or what else was going to be in the woods with them that night.
