It had all started on that simple routine fishing trip Prussia and Germany took every summer. They had traveled to the Brandenburg Lakes, rented a boat, and were not currently seated at opposite sides of it, casting their lines into the water. Germany opted for bobber fishing, and after casting his line into the water, he wrapped himself around the pole, reading a battered Karl May paperback. Prussia however, decided that the patient style of fishing wasn't for him, and had opted to cast and slowly reel back. At least that was more eventful.
"Hey West," Gilbert began, bringing his hook back. "Why do you bring books when you go fishing? I mean, what's the point? You can just stay home and read!" Germany made a nondescript noise, and Gilbert flicked the fishing rod, casting the lure far. He waited for a moment, before starting to slowly reel it back, bouncing the rod slightly. West always caught the fish.. But this time it would be different! He smirked to himself as he thought up how awesome it would be when he caught his first fish on this trip! It would be a whole rainbow of colors! "KESESESESE!!" he laughed triumphantly, practicing how he would hold his fish over his head. Germany sighed behind him, and slowly turned a page.
"That's why you never catch any fish.. dummkopf Bruder.."
Gilbert continued to yell and talk to himself, waving his fishing rod radically and without care, when suddenly, the rod was yanked almost out of his hand. "The shit?! West I got one! I GOT ONE!!" Prussia jumped and started to yank on the rod. Germany jumped up, abandoning his rod and tossed his book to the side, running to Prussia's side. He wrapped his arms around Prussia's waist, and held onto him tightly, so his brother wouldn't go flying.
"Du bist nicht wegzukommen dieser Zeit!" Gilbert yelled triumphantly, before pulling the rod hard. The fish jumped out of the water, smacking into Prussia's chest hard, and the two men fell back. Prussia groaned and shoved the fish off. "Autsch, that fish kinda hurt!" he frowned and rubbed his chest. Germany sat up and rubbed his head. "Bruder.." he stared at the fish they'd caught. "Bruder, that's quite the weird fish.."
The fish flopped around quite pathetically, trying to find air as though it's life depended on it. "Karp karp karp Magikarpkarpkarp!" It said hoarsely, as though struggiling for air. The fish had large red scales and yellow fins, along with long white whiskers. The two German's stared at it, as it flopped around aimlessly.
"… Lets kill it!" Gilbert finally said, breaking the silence. He grabbed the tool kit and pulled out the beheading saw. "SORRY FISHY, BUT YOU'RE MY DINNER!!" He waved the saw around dangerously. Germany ducked, before ripping it from his hand. "BRUDER!!" He glared at him with the full force of the German nation. "You don't wave around something as dangerous as this as though you were a chicken without a head! You could have hurt yourself, or hurt me!" he sighed, and rubbed his eyes, migraine pounding behind them with full force.
Prussia scowled, before walking over to the weird fish. At the sight of him it seemed to squirm faster, as though it wanted Prussia to do something to it. "karpkarpkarpkarp Magiiiiii~karp!!" Prussia cocked his head, staring at it. "West.. This thing's talkin…" Germany sighed and picked up his book, thoroughly done with all of the shenanigans caused by the strange fish.
"Sounds like it's tryin to say something… Magi..karp? Is that is?" he took out his cell phone and accessed the internet. Germany mumbled without looking up. "Bruder, remember who pays your cell phone bills." Prussia made a face, silently mimicking his younger brother. When his phone finally connected to the web, he pulled up Google and typed it in. Instantly he saw several websites. "Hmm.." Hey West! I think this fish belongs to Japan!"
That was a shocker. What was a Japanese fish doing in a German lake? Germany looked at his brother. "Lets bring it back to him." Prussia gave him a look. "No fucking way West! This is the first fish that I've ever caught, and I'm going to keep it!" Germany sighed and pinched his nose.
