Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia. The only thing I own is my original Characters (Max and Francessca) and my little amusement park.
A/N: Okay, so this is actually a co-write I did with my friend obsessivelistmaker13. We worked on this together and I've never done anything like this before, so it won't be perfect, but I hope you enjoy it anyways. :)
The car horn honked outside the house. Max stood in the doorway of Francessca's bedroom, waiting impatiently, "Hurry up, they boys are waiting for us."
"Hang on! I'm making sure I have everything!" Francessca called out. She was running around her room, grabbing things and putting them in her duffle bag.
"If you weren't such a procrastinator and hadn't waited until the last minute, you wouldn't have to worry about forgetting anything, now would you?"
"I was busy!" Francessca zipped up her bag and pushed past her friend to get outside. Max rolled her eyes and followed after her friend. They walked out of the house and she turned around, "Now before I lock the house, are you sure you didn't forget anything?"
"Yeah, I think so."
Max rolled her eyes again and sighed, "Fine." She locked the door and walked over to Antonio's SUV sitting in her driveway. She put her bags in the back with the others and then hopped in the back seat beside Francessca, "Hey guys!"
Alfred turned around from the front passenger seat and looked at them, "Dudes! It's finally Summer! This is so awesome!"
Antonio took off his sunglasses and looked in his rear view mirror at them, "You sure you got everything?" He looked at Francessca in particular.
"Yes, I'm sure I have everything, can we leave now?" Francessca sighed. She hated when everyone picked on her for forgetting things, even though it was true and she usually would end up forgetting something.
Antonio laughed, "Ok, then let's go." He put his sunglasses back on, put the SUV in reverse, and backed out the driveway.
They had been driving for a couple of hours and Max was staring out the window, "Man, I'm so bored!" She turned to look at Francessca who was listening to her iPod. She smirked and tied up her blonde hair in a ponytail to keep it out of her face then leaned over and started poking her friend. "Hey, hey, wanna play a game?"
Alfred turned around in his seat, "Dude, I wanna play!"
Francessca looked up from her iPod and sighed, "What game is it?"
"Let's play, I Spy!" After she said it, everyone in the car went silent. Then Alfred laughed, "I love that game!"
Max turned back and poked Francessca again, "So you're going to play, right? Right?"
Francessca sighed and looked out the window then back to Max, laughing, "Ok, I'll play, but stop poking me."
Max got excited, "Cool! Ok, I Spy with my little eye something blue… wait, no green! Dang it then, red!" Everything was moving by so quickly she couldn't pick something. "Oh, ok, I got it! I Spy with my little eye something yellow! Hah! That'll be a hard one. I bet you won't be able to figure that one out-"
At the same time Alfred, Francessca, and Antonio all answered, "The sun."
"Crap!" Max crossed her arms and looked out the window, her lips puckered in a pout, "This game is dumb anyways."
Francessca laughed, "Aw, it's not that hard. Watch, I'll go next." She looked around the car and smiled as she spotted something, "I Spy with my little eye something blue."
Alfred looked out the window, "They sky?"
She shook her head.
Antonio looked at her from his rear view mirror, "My car?" She smiled and shook her head again.
"Alfred's shirt?" Max blurted. It was a no.
Alfred tried again, "Your bag?" Francessca started to laugh and shook her head again, "Nope."
Everyone was looking around trying to find out what the blue object was. Max looked at her friend's hand and gasped, "Your iPod case!"
Francessca nodded her head, "Yep, see it's not that hard."
Max laughed and looked at Alfred, "Ok, now it's your turn." Alfred began looking around, "Uh, ok. I spy with my awesome little eye something red!"
Francessca looked out the window, "The barn we just passed?"
"Nope"
Max looked over his shoulder, "Your shoes?" He shook his head and started to laugh, "Nope."
"My shirt," Antonio offered.
"No," he turned to look at the girls, "Come on dudettes, it's not that hard!"
Francessca looked around again, "The little needle on the speedometer." Alfred and Max just stared at her. She gave an embarrassed laugh, "Ok, uh… the stripes of the flag on your bag?"
"Ding! Ding! We have a winner!" Alfred said.
"Wow, seriously?" Max asked, not surprised. "This game is getting boring anyway." She turned to look out the window again. Antonio looked at her in his mirror, "Wait, I don't get a turn? Eso no es justo."
Everyone laughed then Max added, "Well you weren't really participating anyway." Max was interrupted by the radio. "This is Breaking News!" the man on the radio said, "A serial killer has apparently escaped the State Prison and is now lose in the area. Please be aware and stay tuned for more details!" Everyone in the car fell silent as they half listened to the rest of the news broadcast.
Max looked at the radio, a bit confused, "Well, that was… weird."
Francessca nodded slowly, "Yeah, just a bit…"
Alfred quickly changed the subject, pulling out a map, "Guys! We totally have to go here!" He pointed to a small dot on the map and everyone got closer to see what he was pointing at.
"What is it?" Max asked.
A huge grin was plastered on Alfred's face. "It's supposed to be an abandoned theme park!"
Francessca looked at him skeptically, "And why would we want to go there?"
"Dude, it's free rides! Plus there's nobody there so it makes it better cuz then we'll have the whole place to ourselves."
Max looked excited, "It kinda sounds like fun! We should go!"
Antonio looked at them both, "Are you sure that's a good idea? What if it's just a rundown place with nothing that works?"
Alfred stared at the other boy, "Dude, why do you gotta be such a downer? It's on our way so it won't hurt to check it out anyway." Everyone looked at each other then Antonio nodded, "Por qué no? We could just go check it out."
Alfred and Max both got excited, "Yes!"
It was getting pretty dark as the group drove down the road. Alfred was looking at the map and giving Antonio directions, "Ok, if we keep going straight, it should be up here on the left." The car pulled into the empty parking lot and the dismal looking entrance of the park loomed ahead of them. Everyone leaned forward as they took in the sight of the park.
"Wow, talk about creepy," Francessca said.
Alfred was totally oblivious to the whole creepy factor and was excited, "Come on guys! What are you waiting for?" He jumped out of the car before it even stopped moving.
"Wait for me!" Max called out as she jumped out after him. She grabbed his arm, "Are you sure about this? This place is really sending off a weird vibe…"
Alfred looked at her, "It'll be fine babe, nothin's gonna happen cuz I'm the hero!"
Antonio and Francessca were still in the car. "I don't know about this place, it's kinda scary looking," Francessca said while shaking her head. Antonio put the car in park and turned it off. He looked at the park one more time and shrugged his shoulders, "Well we are kinda in the middle of nowhere and the place is abandoned, so it's going to have that feeling. At least we won't get caught by anybody."
Francessca shook her head, "But what about what that guy on the radio said! That killer guy is still loose!"
Antonio got out of the car and went to open up Francessca's door. He wrapped her in a hug and kissed her forehead. His soft green eyes looked into her chocolate brown ones as he brushed her long brown hair away from her face, "That's not close by and I'm sure the Policía have already caught him. You worry too much, now come on, let's go have some fun." Antonio led her out of the car and over to where Alfred and Max were standing.
"Let's go!" Alfred grabbed Max's hand and led her over to the main entrance gate. The locks on the gate had long been broken so they opened the gates and slipped inside. Once they had all walked through the gate and closed it behind them they all looked around.
"So where should we go first?" Antonio asked.
Max and Alfred both pointed at the haunted house. Francessca groaned, "Of course you guys would pick the creepiest thing first."
Max nudged her, "Oh come on, it's not that scary looking."
Francessca just gave her an "are you kidding me" look, "It's night time, we're in the middle of nowhere in an abandoned park, and you guys want to go on the haunted house ride… Oh no, not scary at all…"
Max looked at her friend, "Oh come on, don't be such a baby. It'll be fun." She started pushing Francessca towards the entrance of the ride. "Ok, ok, I'm going." Francessca pulled out of Max's grip.
"I love scary stuff!" Max said. Alfred looked at her and gave her a high five, "Me too!"
They got to the entrance of the ride and made it through the waiting line. It was really dark inside and Max pulled out her phone to shine some light. She found the control panel and began pushing all the buttons, hoping one would turn the ride on. Lights turned on and sounds began to play. Francessca scooted closer to Antonio as she looked around the room.
A cart rolled up on the tracks and the bars were up, ready for the teens to take a seat. It was painted black and had bat wings on the back. Alfred and Max jumped in while Francessca hesitated. Antonio pulled her along and sat beside her. The lap bars came down tightly across their laps. Max and Alfred cheered, ready for the ride to start. Antonio put his arm around Francessca's shoulders.
"It'll be okay, you'll be fine," he said comfortingly.
She nodded, "I know, I just can't shake this feeling."
Alfred looked at Max, "Dude, this is so cool!"
"I know! I'm so glad we found this!"
The cart started to roll forward. It moved through a small, dark tunnel. Creepy night sounds were playing on scratchy speakers. The sounds began to smooth out as they continually played. Fog started to cover the ground and the night sounds grew louder and more life-like. A hug bat flew through the air and brushed the top of their heads.
Francessca screamed and jumped, throwing her arms around Antonio, "Holy crap what was that?!"
Max smirked and turned around to look at her friend, "Calm down, it's only part of the ride. Plus, the ride just started, so you better calm down or else you'll have a heart attack before the ride is over and we can't have that." She turned to Antonio next, "Make sure she doesn't have a heart attack, ok?"
Antonio squeezed Francessca's shoulders, "You got it."
Right as Max turned back around something popped out right in her face. She screamed and buried her face in Alfred's jacket.
"Hey, it's ok. It's fake," Alfred said, trying to hold back a laugh. Francessca laughed from the back seat of the ride, "I thought you liked scary stuff."
"Shut up, it's not funny. And I do, it just caught me off guard, that's all…" Max said as she pulled herself away from Alfred.
The ride continued clattering down the tracks. It went through another door and entered a child's play room. Francessca quickly stiffened and then buried her face in Antonio's chest. Dolls and children's play things were scattered around the room. The walls were painted in bright and cheery colors and there were lights everywhere.
Alfred looked around the room, "What's so scary about this place?" The lights suddenly went out for a few seconds and then some flickered back on. The room seemed to have changed. Shadows were cast across the room and the walls had lost their color. Some of the toys were ragged and torn. The dolls were broken and missing pieces. More lights flickered, causing the room to feel scarier. Creepy Jack-in-the-Box music slowly started playing.
"O-oh my God!" Max stuttered. She hated dolls of any sort and felt scared out of her mind in the room. The cart rolled forward slowly to face a doll sitting in a chair. The doll looked like she was once pretty, but she was damaged now. Her porcelain skin had lost its shine. Her golden curls were dull and tangled and her face was cracked. Her dress was in tatters and the chair she was sitting on looked like it had been broken a few times. Max began to tremble uncontrollably as the doll got closer to her. She scooted closer to Alfred and pushed herself as far as possible into the seat.
Alfred shook his head, "I still don't see what's so scary about this room."
Francessca and Max both stared at him. "Are you crazy?!" Francessca squeaked, fear causing her voice to rise in pitch. "I'm about to pee my pants! I hate dolls and this is so creepy! The cart needs to hurry and go to the next room."
The cart continued to roll forward. "This isn't fun anymore!" Max said as the doll in the chair inched closer to her face. The cart stopped as the doll was not even a foot from Max's face. Antonio looked around confused, "What the-?"
The doll and chair lifted up and the car sped up and through the next tunnel while laughing echoed behind them. They all screamed as the cart sped up and plummeted them down into a corkscrew. They pulled up abruptly and did a quick and tight loop. They raced into another room and the brakes were applied quickly. They were thrown against the lap bars as the ride slowed down.
"I don't like this ride at all, I'm scared to see what comes next," Francessca whispered. The cart rattled down a dreary hallway. It made a few turns, but the hallway seemed to go on forever. At last they made it to a huge door. It swung open quickly and the group was brought into a bedroom, a few candles being the only source of light.
There was a large bed that was unmade. The sheets were carelessly strewn across the bed and the pillows were in a messy pile. The dark maroon comforter was half on the bed and half off. A chair had fallen in the middle of the floor and there was a desk with papers scattered on its surface. They all looked around and it suddenly got cold.
"It's a ghost!" Francessca called out, feeling a breeze travel across her skin.
"Calm down. Look," Antonio pointed to a vent aimed right at them, "It's just a vent blowing cold air on us."
"Oh, okay," Francessca sighed in relief. Then the chair slowly moved across the floor. The bed started rattling and the sheets and comforter were being pulled off the bed. The papers started flying through the air and the chair flew across the room in front of them. The candles started flickering and the air instantly dropped to a freezing temperature. Everyone shivered at the sudden temperature drop.
Francessca started whimpering loudly and buried her face in Antonio's shoulder as everything happened around them. She was shaking and Antonio tried to comfort her, but nothing would work.
"Holy crap," Alfred said, looking at his breath crystallizing in front of him, "Who turned on the A/C? It's like freakin' Antarctica in here!"
Something shattered to their left and Francessca screamed and started freaking out even more. "Let me out," she cried. "I can't stand this ride anymore! Oh my God, there's seriously a ghost in here!" She tried to get out of the cart but Antonio grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back into the seat.
"You gotta relax. It's not really a ghost. And don't worry, it'll leave this room in a second and we'll go to the next one."
"But I don't want to go to the next room." As she finished, the cart started rolling forward again, "No!"
Max turned around to look at Francessca, "It'll be over soon, I mean, how long can this ride be?" She laughed nervously as she turned back around. This room hadn't scared her as badly as the dolls, but they had shaken her up somewhat.
Alfred nudged her with his elbow, "I thought you liked scary stuff?"
She laughed again, "I-I do, but that doll seriously scared me and now I'm creeped out!"
Alfred put his arm around Max, "Well don't worry; it'll be over soon, just like you said." Max nodded, "I know…"
The cart rolled into the next room which was pitch black. The door slammed shut behind them and the darkness engulfed them. Alfred groaned, "Dude, what's with this ride and dark rooms?"
"I don't know, but the lights need to come on," Francessca whined. The lights flicked on quickly, revealing rows of scarecrows. They all had different faces, but all had a weird or scary face that caused them to grimace in pain or smile wickedly. They loomed above the teens and seemed to get bigger.
"No! Turn the lights back off!" Francessca screamed. After a few seconds, the lights seemed to dim and the scarecrows' shadows grew long and tall. A strange orange and yellow glow started to light up the bottom of the wall. She pulled away from Antonio to look at it closer, "Wha-? Is that a fire? A serious fire? What the hell is wrong with this place?!"
Everyone could smell the smoke now and they could feel the heat as the fire got bigger and started getting closer to them.
"Dude, this isn't cool anymore!" Alfred said. The same laughter that they heard as they left the children's play room started getting louder in the room.
Max shook her head, "This place is freakin' crazy!"
Everyone started freaking out and trying to get out of the ride but the lap bars wouldn't budge. They tried desperately to get out of the cart as the flames got closer. The flames inched closer and just before they were able to lick at the cart, the teens were jolted forward towards the wall. They all screamed because the wall was coming up dangerously fast, they thought they were going to crash. At the last moment the hidden doors in the wall opened up and they were thrust into another dark tunnel. As they got farther through the tunnel there was an explosion behind them that shook the whole ride.
As they started slowing down Francessca was shaking, "Please tell me this ride is almost over. I don't know how much more I can take!"
The cart was rolling them into the next room. It looked like a hospital room with doctors and a surgery room set up. The beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound that could be heard in the otherwise silent room. The doctors made movements as if they were actually performing the surgery; they crowded around the patient on the operating table.
Max sighed heavily, "I thought the ride was over… This is getting to be a bit too much."
The lights went out and both of the girls screamed. The only sound that could be heard in the darkness was the beeping of the heart monitor. The lights came back on and Antonio pointed out, "Wasn't there a doctor there just a second ago?"
Everyone looked to where he was pointing and noticed the doctor's absence. Sure enough there was no doctor there anymore even though everyone had just seen it before the lights went out.
Francessca's mouth hung open in shock, "D-did it move on its own? That's impossible."
"Dude, what the hell? This is one freaky ride," Alfred said.
There was a sound behind them and they all slowly turned around. The doctor that was missing was standing right behind them. Everyone was still for a moment, frozen in shock. The doctor moved his arm up and they could see he was holding an apparatus of some sort. There was blood dripping from his hands and the apparatus. He wiped his other hand on his coat and left a smear of blood.
Everyone screamed as the doctor started moving closer. "Man, this is so life-like, it's too creepy!" Francessca said.
There was another sound and everyone turned back around to look in front of them. The other doctor was starting to move towards them too.
Max panicked, "What do we do?" Both of the doctors continued moving towards the cart, slowly closing in.
"We need to get out of here!" Francessca quickly wiggled out from under the lap bars and jumped out, running from the doctors. Everyone else followed her lead and they ran away. Alfred called everyone over because he had found an emergency exit. Everyone ran through but it ended up not leading anywhere because part of the wall had collapsed, blocking the exit corridor. Antonio and Alfred slammed the door shut behind them as the doctors got closer, they held it shut tightly.
"This is nuts!" Max exclaimed.
"Now what do we do?" Francessca said on the verge of tears.
Alfred told Max and Francessca to start looking for another way out. While they were looking, the doctors started banging on the door, trying to push it open.
"There has to be another way out," Francessca said frantically. She kept looking for another way out when she felt something scurry across her foot. "What was that?!" she screamed. "Oh my- Get me out of here!" She ran towards the door but the boys stopped her.
"You can't go out that way," Antonio said.
She started banging on the door as well, "I don't care! Just let me out!" She started crying as she slid to the floor. Antonio reached down to pick her up and Max began looking again. Her hands stumbled across another door.
"Hey, wait!" She said happily, hoping she had found a way out. She tried to open it but it didn't budge. "Crap!" She pulled out her cell phone to give her a little more light and she saw what she suspected had crawled across her friend's foot. "Oh look, it was just a mouse," she laughed weakly. She quickly tried opening the door again, "Dang it! Why won't you open?"
They all froze as they realized that the banging on the door had stopped.
Antonio was the first to say anything, "Maybe they left?"
Alfred looked at the door, "I don't know bro this is getting really weird…" Alfred paused before continuing, "One of us should check and see if they're gone."
"Yeah, good idea," Antonio nodded. Nobody moved and everyone was silent.
Alfred sighed loudly, "Ok, I guess I'll do it." He opened up the door slowly and peeked around the corner. He stepped out into the room and looked around, "It's clear, man, let's get out of here. Quick, before they come back."
They all filed through the door slowly as they looked around. It was dim in the room and it was hard to see. Max's foot caught something, causing her to trip. "Ok, that's it! I'm officially fed up with this dumb ride!" Alfred went over to help her up.
"How are we supposed to get out of here?" Francessca asked quietly.
"We follow the cart tracks, I guess," Alfred said. They all followed the tracks until it led them to the wall. They all tried to open the doors but nothing happened.
"Seriously? Open up!" Francessca yelled at the wall, desperate to get out. A sound behind them made her turn around. "Guys! Look out!" They all turned around and jumped out of the way as the cart sped past them and broke through the wall. Everyone looked through the hole into the next corridor.
"Well, that works…" Max said. They began to follow the rest of the tracks into another dark room. They jumped when they heard the rusty voice on the intercom, "We hope you enjoyed the ride, please come back again soon! Keep your hands and feet inside the cart until you make it to the platform and the lap bars release you."
"I sure as hell am not coming back," Francessca muttered angrily under her breath.
They all jumped up onto the platform and went down the hallway that led to the exit. Francessca began running once she saw the exit. She ran out and waited for everyone else, "I swear I am never going on a ride like that again! My heart is still racing!" She was just thankful that they had made it out of that death trap and she hoped she would never have to go near it again.
EDIT: Okay so I've gone back and I've changed the names because originally I used America and Spain but after reading it again, I decided to just use Alfred and Antonio. I feel like it fits better anyway. I didn't really change anything else though, so it's still the original! :D
