The Cold War


Summary: Drabble. It was a strange way to fight a war, that was sure. The other nations have seen wars fought before, but never like this.

T.A.R.N.S.: This has been sitting around on the document uploader for awhile now, so I guess I'll upload it and see what happens. I don't think anyone's done this before. I'm not trying to rip them off if they have.


"This is definitely new." Switzerland muttered as he watched the two struggling nations. He wasn't the only one. A whole hoard of other nations was standing next to him, all watching the battle taking place between Alfred F. Jones, personification of America, and Ivan Braginski, personification of Russia.

"How long have they been doing this?" Austria asked.

"For the last 42 minutes." Germany replied as he glanced at his watch.

"I must say, Amerique certainly knows how to start some interesting things." France said, then paused. "Are you sure this is a war?"

England and Canada nodded. "He said he was fighting Russia." Canada volunteered.

"But we didn't think it would be like this." England admitted.

"Give it up, comrade," Ivan growled. "You will never win.

Alfred grinned. "Your grip just weakened. I felt it! I won't give up now!"

The pair was sitting at a small table, arm wrestling.

"I will not let you win capitalist pig!"

"But you're getting weaker." Alfred taunted. "I don't think you'll get a choice this time."

"This is really quite bizarre." Spain observed. "And they've been doing this for forty-two minutes now?"

Germany checked his watch again. "Forty-four as of right now."

Russia's arm was slowly being moved over, down towards the table, but the soviet nation wasn't about to give up without a fight. And he would especially not lose to wht he considered to be a smaller country.

But he was starting to lose.

"Feeling some pressure there, Ivan?" Alfred asked.

"Not at all, comrade." Ivan lied.

"Don't call me your comrade."

Ivan's hand was getting ever closer to the table. Finally he couldn't hold out any more and Alfred slammed his hand down onto the table.

"Yes! I win!"

Prussia shook his head. "Strangest war I've ever seen."


T.A.R.N.S: I apologize if it seemed like I was making light of the war, but nothing bad happened in it that I can think of that I would be making light of. Other than the Cuban missle crisis. No matter what the idiot currently sitting in the Oval Office says, I'm not sorry my country won the Cold War! (There should have been an impeachment hearing IMMEDIATLY after that apology.)

I hope you liked the story. The 44 minute thing is due to the fact that the Cold War actually lasted about 44 years.

Anyway, please review and tell me what you thought!
