Author Notes: Well the time has come for another fan-fic I may or may not finish, haha! But the rundown of the format of this story is quite different than my usual work.
FIRST: This story will be written by two people, myself and CuteDoodles from DeviantArt. This entire story is based loosely off our wacky RPs and we do hope it brings a good dose of comedy to your day.
SECOND: This story is a Human AU of the Hetalia-verse, and historical accuracy isn't followed by the book. (Ex: in this story, Japan is the youngest of his Asian nation siblings) Countries go to school/have jobs/etc. like regular humans do. They can't die, so SPOILERS no one is going to die in this fanfic, but they can bleed, feel pain, give birth, etc. Everyone will maintain their canon appearances in age, no matter how old they are.
And finally THIRD: this story will contain non-abusive spanking, usually given by China or England since they're crotchety old men who deal with their younger 'family members'. Don't like it? Skip a bit ahead in the chapter.
You may now read on! Laugh and Enjoy~!

In This Town - Chapter 1: "Even some countries have to go to school"
The sky was slowly turning from black to a light orange as the sun rose to greet another day. The sunlight crept into the bedroom of one particular person, who was cramped in his bed with his 'siblings'. But he considered himself much older and took on a more authoritative role. The person in question was none of that Yao Wong, or China, as he was more known as. He was surrounded by Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and of course, Japan.
Japan was snuggled much closer to him than any of the other nations. This was due to the fact that they had all seen a horror movie the night before. Japan was particularly frightened and begged to sleep in China's room. China was more fond of his so-called baby brother than the other nations, who frankly were rather unruly, so he allowed it. The other nations just invited themselves in and after a night of laughter and cheerfulness, they all fell asleep.
Now it was morning, and the household began to go about the morning routine. China ambled out of bed, tripped over S. Korea and Pochi, the dog Japan brought home, and walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
The sound of the tea kettle whistling woke Hong Kong up. He yawned and noticed Taiwan still slumbering and quickly rushed to the bathroom for a shower. She had always been the first every morning to use it, practically using up the hot water. China had a strict ten minute shower limit, but she always managed to squeak by an extra five or six minutes.
Japan stretched and yawned himself awake. He managed to take his baths or showers at night so he never really rushed in the mornings. He found himself outside feeding the brood of silkie chickens little kernels of corn and leftover cooked rice from the previous day. He loved animals; they were quiet and seemed to listen to him, unlike his 'older' siblings who bossed him about like all older siblings did to their younger family members.
After watering China's bamboo garden, Japan made it back inside where Hong Kong was already dressed for school and sitting at the table playing his 3DS. Taiwan was in the bathroom, screaming at no one in particular about the lukewarm water, and China was placing breakfast on the table. Unsurprisingly to them all, S. Korea was still sleeping. The small statured Asian nation went to put on his school uniform. It just so happened that he had forgotten to put his regular one in the wash...again. So he had to wear one of Taiwan's spare female uniforms, skirt and all.
It was becoming increasingly clear to Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea that Japan enjoyed wearing the long skirts and breezy blouses. He secretly thought women's clothes were more varied and visually appealing. Thankfully China hadn't caught on and just kept lecturing Japan about 'making sure his uniform got washed' so this wouldn't keep happening.
Primped and ready to go, Japan wandered back into the living room and sat at the table and began to eat his portion of breakfast. It was then a look of terror spread over Hong Kong's face. Something had been bothering him all morning and he couldn't figure out what! But now he remembered...
HIS HOMEWORK!
Sure, he always managed to do it either at breakfast or in homeroom, but this homework was different. It was...MATH! Sure, math was supposed to come easy for the Asian nations, but that was a terrible stereotype! He struggled just as much with it as everyone else who doesn't like the fact that math you're never going to use involved numbers AND letters! Letters?! WHY?!
He glanced over and Japan who was finishing his eggs and sighed. He'd have to implement his one ace in the hole, one of the many reasons he valued Japan as his brother.
"Hey Japan, do my math homework in homeroom, okay?" Hong Kong said, not even looking up from his game. China was back in the kitchen, out of ear shot. He was very strict about schoolwork and would've rained down a storm of pain on Hong Kong's rear end if he had known he was 'cheating' on his homework.
"Ah...b-but...!" Japan tried to say, but Taiwan spoke up.
"Yeah, mine too!"
"But you're both in a class lower than mine!" he squeaked.
"Yeah! Don't remind us!" Taiwan huffed.
"It's embarrassing, our little brother being a grade higher in math than us! Way to be a goody-goody!" Hong Kong added, a layer of teasing on his statement.
Japan sighed and agreed, as long as they bought him Swiss Rolls from the pastry shop afterschool, then he wouldn't mind.
After eating their breakfast and finally waking South Korea up, the quartette of Asian nations left for the walk to school. China waved them off and after washing the dishes, plopped himself in front of the television to watch his favorite Chinese soap operas while folding laundry.
To be continued...
