Italy walked into his home after training, his shirt soaked with sweat. He lazily went over and sprawled on the couch after getting a glass of water.

"Ve... Germany's being really strict in training... at least with me. Japan's not getting yelled at." he complained to the air. "Its not fair."

Eventually, the Italian found himself drifting off to sleep. As he slept, he began to dream. In his dream, he was falling. Down... Down... Down a black hole. Suddenly, it began to slow and he seemed to be merely floating towards what seemed to be the bottom. As he finally made it to the bottom, he saw four doors. One red, one blue, one green, and one yellow. He went towards the green one but was stopped when he heard a little child's voice.

"You can't go out of order! That's not how it works! Its just not how the game works!"

"Ve?" Italy turned and saw a small boy. His hair was black and he wore a similar suit to Japan's, just black. It also had tassels on the shoulders. "Japan?"

"Well... No. Not exatly. You can call me Kuro, though!" the boy giggled. "How'd you get into my dream game?"

"I... I don't know, really. I got home and fell asleep." Italy shivered and a scared look came across his face as he looked around. "Its so dark and cold here. Its scary! I wish Germany were here!"

Kuro let out another giggle. "Well, you're not alone. I'm here with you~! Hey! I know what might cheer you up! Would you like to play my dream game? Its really fun! A few people played it before. They liked it a lot!"

"Games? Ve! I like games! What kind of game is it?" Italy asked, his eyes brightening as a small smile appeared on his face.

"Well, we go in order of the doors. First red, which is followed by blue and green, and we end in yellow. If you like the game as much as the first four people did, you get to create your own door with it's own little symbol." Kuro explained. He then walked to the red door. "This door was made when the first person played with me. They chose a red door with the Ace of Spades as their symbol. The blue door was the second person to play. He chose blue with an Ace of Diamonds as the symbol. Green was third and the chose Ace of Clubs, or Clover as some like to say. Yellow was last and the one to play it that time were twins. They enjoyed the game very much and chose a yellow door and the Ace of Hearts. If you play and enjoy my game, you get to create a door and pick your symbol."

"Ve~ That sounds fun! I wanna play!" Italy rejoiced.

"Ah, sou! Wonderful! Now, there are some rules. You cannot interfere with the story lines of each door from the previous players. They've set their story, you make your own. While you can interact with the people in their story, you can't change things." Kuro warned. "Changing the story means you lose the game and I make your door and pick the symbol for you in the end. You won't make your story, either. I'll make it."

"Oh, okay. So, shall we start?" Italy giggled, clearly eager to begin the game.

"Hai. Right this way~" Kuro turned the knob and help open the red door. Through its frames, it glowed with a white light, yet behind it there was nothing. Italy shrugged as he entered the door, Kuro right behind him.

"Wonderful, oh this is simply wonderful! I get to trick yet another one of these silly nations into playing this game! These countries are so easy to fool. Kuni no baka~" Kuro though deviously, a smile on his face.

Once upon a time, there lived a little dream.

No one knows who dreamed this tiny dream, for it was very small indeed.

This fact made a thought come to the little dream.

"I don't want to disappear!

How can I cause people to dream of me?"

And so, the little dream thought... and thought... and though...

And finally, he came up with an idea!

"I will make countries came to me,

and let them create the world!"
