(Because I get inspiration from everywhere. Including a certain free app for the iTouch that includes certain "cool facts". You'll laugh. No, I promise. Sorry if the characters are OOC.)
Cool Facts: Hetalia Style!
The first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in WW2 killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.
"Looks like that American fool was serious, after all…" Ludwig sighed heavily and sat down on a particularly large piece of rubble in his capital. He should have expected this. He did start this war, after all.
"Ve~ Germany! It wasn't that bad~! Want some-"
"No, Italy. I don't want any pasta. Japan?"
"Yes?"
"How bad?"
"The damage is relatively slight. It could have been worse."
Germany nodded, a little relived at the words. The August night was balmy and hot, and he got up again, wiping the little sweat from his forehead.
"However…" Japan continued, looking at a clipboard. "..It seems that there was some causalities at the…well, at the Berlin Zoo."
A moment of silence passed between the trio. Germany fixed his hard blue eyes on Japan, checking to see if the Asian man was kidding. It wasn't likely, since Japan rarely kidded about things.
"My….zoo? They hit my zoo?"
"It appears so."
"Japan, you know I don't like jokes."
"That's what the clipboard says, Ludwig."
Germany squinted at Japan. He really was serious!
"This, I have to see for myself."
"Ve~! Can I come to, Germany~? I wanna see the penguins!"
"Sure, Italy. Come on."
It wasn't that long of a trek to the zoo. But that didn't stop Germany's mind from wandering. Why my zoo? Out of everything, why the zoo?
"It doesn't look too bad, Germany~"
"He's right. The only animal that I can see dead is--"
Japan was cut off by Germany's strangled gasp. Japan and Italy both looked at Germany, concern written all over Japan's face, and pasta written on Italy's.
"n-nein…..Nein!! Mein Elefant!!"
The suffering German, who was prostrate with grief on the floor, was starting to attract attention, from the two nations, and the general public who were at the zoo.
"Ve~ Japan. Why is Germany on the floor like that? Is it because he didn't have enough pasta? I could make him some right now!!"
"I do not think pasta is the answer here, Italy. Perhaps Germany is just sentimental…when it comes to elephants."
(I assume that this fact is truth. However, I do not assume this this would be Ludwig's reaction. I think it's just fun to imagine. ^^ Reviews are love! Ciao~)
