Summery: The Nations are getting ready to put on a production, but it doesn't go as plan, but then again does anything?

It is rare for the World Conference to ever be absolutely silent, even when another nation is speaking. Needless to say, when Greece's suggestion is met with absolute silence from the many nations surrounding him, he is less than pleased with the peace and quiet for the first time. Maybe repeating himself will get more of a reaction? He says once more, "… So yeah, like I said… I was wondering if you guys can help me make a play. For the kids." He begins growing tired and slumps back into his seat, ready to knock out if it weren't for the fact that he was waiting for a reply.
The other Nations look at the brown haired man. They have been asked to go off to war, to settle economic disputes, and were even asked to settle the most problematic of issues. But never have they been asked to perform…. Much less at the request of one of their own. They all shift their eyes from Greece to each other.
America is the first to speak, enthusiastic. "I think it will be a great idea, if it's for kids…." Everyone has a feeling he just wants to be the hero.
"Why don't you just give us the details, like why you want to make a play for kids in the first place." Britain says as he turns to Greece. By the expression on his face, his large brows furrowed, it is obvious he is a little skeptical about the idea. After all, they have actors in Greece don't they?
"Well, my economic situation isn't so good right now… And I have many little kids ending up on the street." Greece got everyone's attention "Not to mention, they are bothering the cats." The nation's expression shifts from sympathy to annoyance after his last sentence. "So I figured we could do something for them, in their time of need."
"But, Greece… don't you have actors to help you with that?" Canada takes the words right out of England's mouth and for the first time it seems his question is acknowledged.
"Well you guys don't have to but I thought that it would look good on everyone if they help my people and I," Greece says as he looks down, petting his neko-chan. It's plain he isn't too sure of his idea now.
"So in other words you want us to do charity work?" England says as he sips his earl gray.
"I think it's a great idea Greece-san" The Japanese man praises the cat lover.
"Okay so I guess 'Operation: Help Greece Entertain the Kids' is in affect!" America announces enthusiastically as he rises from his chair. He grabs the chalk and writes the name of the 'operation' on the board, and beneath it his own name. "So who wants to help?"
Japan hesitates for a moment before finally raising his hand. "I will help."
"I think it will be fun, put me down! But I have a question?" Canada raises his hand and stands hoping he won't be ignored. "What play will we be doing?"
"Well I was thinking of doing a play on Heracles. To give the kids a little bit of history…" Greece instantly thinks of his mother's ruins, how many people now-a-days don't bother with history. Then, he begins to feel sleepy again.
"I think that is an excellent idea Greece, enriching the young minds in history…. I will participate as well" Germany says. He glances at America as the younger nation writes his name down.
"I'll do it if Germany is! Romano you should help too! It will be fun" Italy says as he starts poking his twin brother, who is getting annoyed at the physical contact.
"Fine, if you insist, now stop poking me… Oi! Spain! We're doing it too, now put our names down fat ass." Spain simply nods. America twitches at the name calling, but puts it in the back of his mind.
Soon after one by one everyone starts joining in. They all arrange a date to perform, a day to sit and watch the movie and cast characters. As everyone becomes interested in the play a smile spreads across Greece's lips. He isn't so sleepy anymore.
(~x~x~x~)
Casting day has finally come; After watching the Disney movie, many prefer doing the technical work or sets; costumes or make up. But a list has to be written so nothing is certain.
"I've watched this movie before….. And well some of the historical context are off…" announces Greece as he takes out the Disney version of Heracles.
"…. I.. I've hared about you're history and I thought that this version would be more... suitable for children" Lithuania says as he turns on the T.V. he was the one who bought the movie in.
"you're right… . " Greece hands over the movie, then sits with the crowd, his neko- chan that was once on the brunettes head was now resting on his lap.
With that the movie began…..
"I wanna be the hero!" America announces as soon as the movie comes to an end. Everyone saw that coming.
"Perhaps we should take a vote?" Russia speaks up, He knew that nobody wants America to be the hero.
"I think it's a brilliant idea Russia" England fishes out some paper from his brief case. "In that case we will write down the names of the characters and vote." Everyone is quiet at the moment while England writes up the list. Then grabs more paper and hands it to everyone else. " okay, I will call out the names of the characters and everyone put down who you think would be who. If you want a description of character I'm sure Greece will gladly assist."
For about half an hour everyone was writing names besides characters while England and Greece describe them. Some countries had offered to set up sounds and stage, and others, who were mainly the girls wanted to do clothing and make up. So everyone's choosing list got smaller and smaller. Finally after what seems like forever, everyone passes up their papers; England gives the papers to Greece and he and Japan begin to count. Not too much later, their job is complete.
"Okay we have a list of Characters! Everyone listen up!" The murmur of conversation that had risen during the waiting process silences as everyone's attention is focused on the British man. England picks up a piece of chalk and starts writing down names on the board.
"Okay we will go in order of appearance. The narrator will be… Austria" Austria just nods, at least he doesn't have a lot of lines.
"Next are the five muses, we have Canada ….. Where's Canada?"
"I… I'm right here…" the quiet country says from directly in front of England.
"Oh, Okay good, I didn't see you there. Let's see… then we have Japan, Russia, Lithuania and Finland" Japan looks down, a bit embarrassed. He will have to be wearing a dress…. Lithuania shakes in his shoes as he looks at Russia (who was staring back at him...smiling),while Finland was... well ecstatic
"Now we have our Gods, lets see we have…." England stops, his jaw almost dropping as he hastily re-reads the paper, "Are you kidding me?"
"Y at-il quelque chose de mal, England ?" France is smirking, England just gives him a dirty look
'You, Frog' He thinks to himself. "Zeus will be played by…. Me" everyone stares for a brief moment… then the laughter begins (France being the loudest) and England blushes with embarrassment.
"So tell me, dear Angleterre. Who is the poor unfortunate - I mean - the privileged wife?" France asks wiping a tear from his eyes as he composes himself once more. It's obvious he's trying (and nearly failing) to not erupt in laughter once more. Everyone silences for a few moments as England looks down at the paper, his face red, unable to meet their gaze.
Finally, he says: "Poland." and the laughter continues.
"Oh shut up you twits!" England snaps, slamming the paper on the table for emphasis. It seems to quiet a handful of them, but there are still some snickers. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he raises the paper once more with one hand and rubs his temples with the other. It hasn't even started yet and already he's getting a headache. With reluctance, he says, "Continuing... Hercules will be played by…" the nations silence for at that moment, their eyes drifting to the excited looking America, his eyes sparkling en excitement. 'Oh no...' Seems to be the general thought.
"Wait this isn't right…. Prussia?" England says, raising his eyes from the paper to look around for the man in question. America shifts from anxious to glaring at Prussia. If looks could kill, the albino would have dropped dead. Prussia seems surprised for a moment, then he grins.
"HAHAHAHA….. That's right! An awesome role like that only belongs to an awesome person like me! Sorry America… NOT! HAHA" Prussia stands up, his excitement showing in the haste and energy. As the other nations watch him, they begin to wonder if maybe they'd made a mistake choosing him.
England clears his throat to get the attention of the others. "Now then, since we have our Hercules why don't we just go on and say Megara? Our Megara is…" a pause. He doesn't even try to contain his giggle "hehehe…. America!" Everyone looks towards America who was now boiling with rage. Obviously, there is some sort of mistake!
Nope no mistake at all! America and Prussia as damsel and Hero? How can it get better then this?
"Now… our Hades is….. Now who the bloody hell voted for France?" Prussia hi-fives Spain and France, all in tears from the continuous laughter. This play is certainly going to be interesting….
Well that concludes chapter one! I hope you all enjoy it! Reviews are welcomed!
