A funny kind of love story

Written by: Chiabride

A/N: Hi people as you can probably tell this is Chiabride and I know I'm supposed to be writing on the latest chapter of 'Not everything is as it appears'. But I just had to start work on this story and what's so great is that it's based off of an actual couple. It's actually about the meeting of and eventual marriage of the family members of my friend. Unfortunately the characters will be OOC. Well for one thing I'm basing this off actual people and another we are dealing with Fem!Germany, Fem!Prussia, and Fem!France. Also thank god that Prussia aka Gilbert isn't real cause if he was and read this he'd be pissed that he isn't one of the main pairs and he's been turned into a girl. But I'm not going to divulge too much of it in the author's note so I'm going to leave the note like this.

**Update**

This and all future chapters of this story have been officially picked up for beta-reading by the wonderful marvelous Kunoichi-Shea.

Summary: Ludwiga was for the most part a good German girl living behind the Berlin wall, so why did she let her friend Gillian talk her into this? Damn American broke her umbrella!

Chapter Title: Enter Ludwiga and Gillian

Disclaimer: We should all thank Hidekaz Himaruya for Hetalia. We should all shoot the person writing this story for butchering the characters. I do not own Hetalia the Japanese man mentioned above does.

Italics mean: Speaking in German

Ludwiga could say many things about herself one being that she lived in West Berlin; she had personally watched the wall go up. She could not read, understand, or speak English. And finally, she was named after her father. A soldier who fought bravely during the war, who would have rather died then been captured, and had effetely done just that. He left her mother with three young children to raise and Ludwiga was very aware that at one point they had even been homeless. But she had done her part to not cause trouble for her mother because she, even from a young age knew it was hard on everyone.

There was also some things that she could tell you about her life, for instance she was friends with an east German girl named Gillian Beilschmidt who's family had defected here. There were even things she could tell you that even she didn't understand in her life again, for instance why she was friends with Gillian Beilschmidt. Who claimed she was actually from Prussia and got into trouble as often as she could sometimes dragging Ludwiga along with her.

So it should not have come to a surprise to Gillian that the first words out of Ludwiga's mouth as soon as she saw the girl was. "No!"

"West I haven't even asked you anything yet." Gillian said and Ludwiga's brow twitched at being called that stupid nickname that only made sense in Gillian's head. Still she glared not wanting to be a part of something that could probably get her arrested but Gillian ignored her saying. "Ok well I'm going to ignore that and tell you my awesome news. You know how all the guys here are weak and are so scared of me that they avoid me because of how awesome I am but also avoid you because you associate with awesome and therefore awesome by association?"

Even though that whole statement made absolutely no sense what so ever and answering was against her better judgment Ludwiga still said. "No. They avoid you because of the stupid crap you pull that a normal person would have gotten shot over not because you are awesome or because they are weak. And what do you mean they avoid me?"

Gillian just snorted ignoring the last question as she went back to her statement. "Naw they are weak compared to my awesomeness. But forget them I met this really awesome-but not as awesome as me-guy. He's absolutely adorable and he actually asked me out."

Ludwiga against her better judgment did not ignore Gillian like she had believed she should instead listened to the whole conversation with mild interest. Then her brain processed what Gillian had actually said looking at her friend a little worried she said. "Gillian you've contradicted yourself."

"No I haven't." Gillian refuted. Ludwiga gave her a look before she said. "Of course you did. Gillian you just told me that the guys around here are supposedly afraid of you and are unawesome. Now you're telling me you met someone who is awesome and asked you out. That's contradicting yourself."

"I never said he was from around here." Was Gillian's short response. Ludwiga had, at hearing this hoped that what Gillian had said was not what Ludwiga had heard and she turned to give the other German girl a pleading look in hopes she was mistaken. The response from Gillian was a big fat grin and Ludwiga knew she wasn't going to like what the girl would say next. You have to understand something about what Gillian was eluding to. The first in Ludwiga's mind was very bad because it meant that Gillian was somehow illegally crossing into East Berlin and that was definitely something that would ultimately get her killed. The second, well it would not get her killed but it would certainly if she was ever discovered result in Gillian receiving a name that no proper German girl would shame herself into getting. She cared about Gillian so Ludwiga hoped for the first option. "Gillian please tell me you haven't been doing anything illegal you know what that would do to your mother if she found out you had been killed over something so reckless."

"What are you talking about West? Never mind. So his name is Matthew and he's an American soldier. I've been watching him for a while now and it seems he noticed me which isn't surprising because who wouldn't want to watch the awesome me. Even though he takes his job really seriously he's really shy, when we first met he accidentally ran into me and you should of seen the blush he had. But back off because he's mine. So he was blushing and stuttering all over himself until finally I got him to stop. Finally he asked me out and the best part… You get to go on a double date with us!"
