I was a new nation when I finally reached my complete size. I named myself Reinetier which mean 'pure animal' in German, but my human name is Rebecca Beilschmidt. I have three older brothers. The oldest being England other wise known as Arthur. My next oldest brother is America or Alfred. The youngest of my brothers is Canada whom doesn't speak very loudly. I don't know why Matthew is so quite all the time when Arthur and Alfred are so loud. Any ways, I've been staying at Arthur's house until the workers finish rebuilding my place. It was all Turkey's doing too, the jerk.
As usual at Arthur's place he was cooking breakfast, though every nation knew he was a bad cook. Just to make him feel better though I make up sisterly love lies and tell him the food was great. But before I go down to eat, I make my bed; brush my teeth; take a hot 30 minute shower; brush my long, white hair; and put on my uniform. When I came down to the dining room, I could see Arthur cooking through the doorway to the kitchen. Out of love I didn't pinch my nose at the smell of burnt toast.
"Good morning, Rebecca. Sleep well I hope?" Arthur asked as he came in with two plates of food, a plate in each hand. He was a bit happier than normal and I knew why.
"Yeah. I've had enough sleep for one night I guess," I said looking away from him. Truthfully I haven't had sleep in weeks. I've had these horrible dreams that are the same every night. I stand in front of two black figures protecting them from my brothers, but I don't know who they are. I wish I knew, but I can't worry about that today. This is because I am meeting with the Axis Powers. My brothers all told me not to get to know them, but I am stubborn. I will do as I will and they can't stop me. "Has Matthew or Alfred been here yet?" I asked him. Normally they were here before I woke up.
"No they haven't. The gits are probably still sleeping," Arthur said in a teasing voice and chuckled a bit. He only used that tone with me, but it always pissed me off. I hated when Arthur was mean to them when they had done nothing wrong.
"Do you always have to call them that, England?" I growled with anger in my eyes. I only ever called someone by their country name if I didn't know their human name or they pissed me off and that was what he was doing.
"Rebecca, you know I'm just joking. I would never want to really harm them in any way," Arthur told me. He had always used this when I was angry at him, but I didn't know why he even bothered.
"Don't use that on me, England. You know that isn't the full tru-" I stopped mid sentence remembering that I had just lied myself not even 10 minutes ago. I sighed, "never mind. I have to go to a meeting. See you later, Arthur." I had calmed my anger enough to call him by his human name. I left his house without eating my breakfast since that talk had taken all my time to eat before the meeting.
I traveled to Germany that morning to meet the Axis Powers, although all my brothers had at some point begged me not to get involved. I, of course, ignored all of them. I was going to this meeting as I had promised Germany. I didn't know a lot of German at the time though, so I carried an English to German dictionary with me.
I sighed as I came up to a set of iron gates. When they opened, I stepped inside and went up to the door. I knocked on the door in the main part of my anthem. A moment later Francis opened the door. 'What is he doing here?' I thought to myself. I couldn't help but think this was my brothers' doing. I suppressed a growl and slipped past him with fresh anger.
When I was inside, I looked around for the conference room. Gladly, Francis pointed it out to me. I sighed and entered the room. No one was there. I sat down and waited. A few moments later Germany and the other members of the Axis Powers entered. Francis came in after them which caused Germany to ask me, "I thought you vanted to meet us alone?"
"I do, but as you can see my brothers sent him here to watch me like some kind of babysitter," I told Germany meeting his blue eyes with my white ones. This was one of the first time I was going to get to speak with the Axis Powers on my own terms.
"I see. Vell then you need to leave, France. The deal she made vith us said she'd meet us alone," Germany stood up for the agreement terms I had with the Axis Powers.
"Fine. I'm going, but your brothers said to stay away from Prussia and if you get into any type of fight to call them," Francis said as he left the room.
I shook my head and called after him, "Tell them when I get back they better be ready for a long rant." I heard the front door slam and I sighed before turning to the Axis Powers. "I am very sorry he came. My brothers are say...very protective of me though I inform you I can protect myself very well on my own. Well, it is very nice meeting you on my own terms. If you don't already know me I'm Reinetier, but I would rather you call me Rebecca," I smiled at them trying to make up for Francis coming.
Italy looked at me like he was a little scared, but then he said in a very cheerful voice, "Ciao, I'm Italy! You can call me Feliciano or what ever you would like!"
'He is very cheerful,' I thought to myself with a smile before looking at Japan. There was a moment of silence, but then he finally spoke.
"I'm Japan. My human name is Kiku, but you may call me by either," he dipped his head in a bow. That was how the Japanese greeted one another, so I just returned the greeting.
The last member of the Axis Powers was Germany. I knew him pretty well from Francis since he was friends with Prussia, Germany's older brother. Germany turned to meet my white eyes with his blue ones. "I'm Germany, the leader of the Axis Powers. You may call me L-" he was cut off by me saying his human name.
"Ludwig. Your name is Ludwig Beilschmidt. I've heard your name before from Francis seeing as he is friends with your brother Prussia," I said my eyes widening as much as his at my knowledge.
"I see. So you know a lot without speaking to us direct-" this time he was cut off by the conference room's double doors swinging open. A familiar man with white hair and red eyes came in shouting.
"Ludvig! Vhat happened to all zee beer!?" his German accent made my eyes become cat-like. Though he stopped yelling when he saw me. "Vho is she? Ludvig you never told me there vas another country coming over," he asked before taking a seat. "Vhat's your name voman?" the way he asked that made me want to smack him with my book.
I sighed, but before I could speak Ludwig spoke. "She is Reinetier, and the reason I vouldn't allow you to come bruder is because she vanted to meet us alone," he said in annoyance.
Ludwig's brother, Prussia, looked at me and introduced himself, "I am zee awesome Prussia! You can call me Gilbert though." A little yellow bird flew in and landed on his shoulder, "Oh and this little bird here is my pet. His name is Gilbird. So vhat is your real name, Reinetier?"
"It's Rebecca. Though my brothers have annoyed me to death by telling me not to even bother coming today. I want to meet as many nations as I can on my own terms and not theirs," I told him in a very calm voice. "I still wont join either side though. I really don't feel like dying yet," I felt the slight anger and fear in my voice as I said that. I had to admit that dying wasn't on my to-do list.
Gilbert snickered at me, "Being that you are the youngest sibling, ja? Vest knows the same feeling." This caused Ludwig to throw an icy blue glare at his brother.
I sighed, "Well it was nice meeting you all, but now I have to go have a little chat with my brothers. I look forward to speaking to you all again." I stood up and tried not to show my current anger towards my brothers. I left Germany and traveled straight to America knowing that after I made my phone call they would head there.
As I had guessed they were there. "You bastards! Why the hell would you send Francis to look after me when you know from hand-on experience I can take care of myself!" I glared at Alfred the most, "You are all jerks! You know that don't you? I don't need to be watched! I can and will watch over myself," I cried and decided that since my place was finally rebuilt that I would stay there tonight. I cried myself to sleep that night. I was anger, sad, and hurt that my brothers did not trust me to defend myself. It wasn't like I was Feliciano right? He was childish and needed Ludwig, Kiku, and Lovino to protect him. I never gave up, and I have always fought for what I've believed in. They should know that already.
The next morning I woke up with my dry, salty tears on my face. I did the same things as the morning before, but before I could make my breakfast, my phone rang. "Hello?" I answered with a scratchy voice that still hurt slightly, "Who is this?"
"Hallo, Rebecca. It is zee awesome Prussia. I vas vondering how you vere after last night after speaking to your bruders. I vas also vanting to know vhat you vere doing today," it was Gilbert. He was checking up on me because he knew how it felt.
'But how did he get my number?' the thought began to ring in my head. "Umm Gilbert, how did you get the number to call me? I know we are nations and all, but I never gave you my number," I asked him.
"I asked Francis for it. He is a close friend of mine and he gave it to me," Gilbert told me. This made me angry in a way, but at least it wasn't Gilbert who did the bad deed. "So are you doing anything today? I vould like to try to cheer you up," he asked me.
I sighed, "No I'm not doing anything today, but I would like to get back at France for giving you my number without asking me first." I started to think of ways of doing this.
"You know I could help you get back at him if you vant me to. Like I said I know him very vell and could easy make him pissed off," he told me. This made me smile. No other nation has ever offered to help me like this before.
"Thanks. I would love that. So, what's the plan then?" I asked him. I knew this was going to be fun in which I never had before.
"Meet me at Ludwig's front gate. I vill be vanting for you there," he told me. I felt a new feeling after telling him 'Okay.'
I hung up and made my way to Germany. This time it wouldn't be just to meet the Axis Powers. It would be to get back at one of the Allies with the leader's of the Axis Powers brother. I laughed at the thought of what my brothers might say about this, but I was independent.
When I arrived, I saw the only person I knew with red eyes and white hair. I couldn't help but giggle as he looked half asleep leaning against the gate to his brother's house. "Gilbert are you even awake?" I asked him with a smile on my face, "Or did you change your mind about getting back at France?"
Gilbert opened his eyes and smiled at me, "Oh hallo, Rebecca. You are right. Ve should be preparing to get back at France. My bruder told me it vas him vho drunk all the beer. Come on. Ve have to get everything ready for Francis." He led me through the gates and doors to the kitchen. He got out a bottle of beer and handed it to me, "Try to open it."
I tried to open but it wouldn't open. That is when I started to wonder if the seal wasn't broken. Alfred had given me many soda bottles where the seal wasn't even broken before, so I looked at the seal on the beer. As I had guess, the seal wasn't broken at all. "The seal isn't broken. Very good idea to anger a nation that never had to deal with it before," I said.
"Ja. Francis never had to deal with a drink vhere the seal vasn't broken. It vill make the prefect vay to get back at him," Gilbert grinned. "Since it vas you he pissed off you can hand him the beer. He'll be here soon so be ready."
I chuckled and ducked behind a counter as I heard the front door open. "Hey Gilbert I'm here!" Francis shouted. I began to wonder why Francis was friends with Gilbert when he was Ludwig's brother. I decided to stop thinking about and put it to the back of my head as Gilbert greeted Francis and brought him to the kitchen.
When Francis came in, I greeted him, "Hello Francis." He seemed shocked to see me there with Gilbert. I took out the beer Gilbert gave me. "Here. Take it as a 'I'm sorry' gift. It was just that I was angry at my brothers and I kind of put it off on you," I acted out my plot to get back at Francis. Gilbert seemed shocked at how well I acted out the plot in my head.
Francis took the beer, "Thanks, Rebecca." He smiled then tried to open it. He kept trying to open it until he got angry. "What the hell?! Why wont it open?" he asked as he started to bang on the cap of the beer.
I started to laughed, "Did you ever think of checking the seal? See that is what you get for giving my number away with out my permission." Gilbert laughed with me and Francis kinda laughed at how much I was like on of the Bad Touch Trio.
Gilbert looked at me in a funny way then asked, "Have you ever met Spain?" The question made me tilt my head. Of course I had met Spain before. I knew his real name was Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, but he went by Antonio.
"Yes. Why? Do I need to know him?" I asked him with confusion. He and Francis shared a look of knowing.
"It is just that Antonio, Francis, and I have a group called the Bad Touch Trio. You act like one of us a moment ago, and vell...ve vould like you to join," Gilbert told me.
My eyes widened at the thought. "Y-you want me to join your group? I've never thought about anyone asking me to join their group, but I guess...I will join you. Yes," I nodded to Gilbert and Francis. I knew I could keep this promise. They both hugged me and I hugged them in return.
"Alright. Oh do you vant to join us for dinner? Feliciano is cooking tonight so I don't know vhat it vill be, but I guess it vill be pasta," Gilbert told me.
"Sure. I would love to try pasta, but first I will let my brothers know I am okay," I told him in my most cheerful tone in years.
"I'll tell them for you. I'm going over to Arthur's place any way," Francis told me. I was grateful he was going to do that fo me.
"Thanks, Francis. Be sure they know or they may start a world war if they don't know where I am," I laughed at my joke and so did he.
He nodded to me before leaving me alone with Gilbert. I was slightly blushing since I was with him alone without any plans in mind.
Somewhere in England from Francis's Point of View.
"What do you mean Reinetier is having diner with the Power Axis?!" Arthur shouted at me as I told him about his little sister's plans for tonight.
"Why would she ever want to visit them let alone eat with them?" Matthew asked in tone louder than his normal one.
"Yeah. Why would our sis want to stay with those dudes?" Alfred asked in his normal voice, but it held confusion. "The hero should have dinner with his sister."
I started to explain to them that she was only having dinner with Gilbert, Ludwig, and Feliciano, and that she was very happy to accept their offer. I decided not to tell them about the prank she and Gilbert pulled on me and that she had joined the Bad Touch Trio.
The three brothers had sighed, "Well at least we know where she is if she gets into any trouble. Still, I wish she would have told us herself and in person." Arthur had spoken these words since Rebecca did live with him while her place was being repaired.
