Eheheheh... I do seem to have a bad habit of leaving stories unfinished, don't I? HOWEVER! I can promise you all that I will finish this story unless I end up dying half way through typing it or something! I'll also try regular updating, but I can't guaranty how well that'll turn out... ANYWAY! Inspiration for this fic was none other than the mighty Mistuki Horenake's Persona Powers Hetalia, WHICH YOU SHOULD ALL READ 'CAUSE IT IS AWESOME!
Ahem. And recent obsession with Powerpuff Girls Z... that is all.

"Wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy?"
"Yes?"
"Nah, not you; I was complaining."
"Oh… why?"
"It's SCHOOL! No one wants to go to SCHOOL!"
"Jason, you're bein' unreasonable." New Zealand looked up from the book that he'd been reading and gave Australia a disbelieving look.
"Honestly, don't act like ya don't think it's stupid, mate! I saw that look of disgust when you read the letter!"
"It was disgust at the idea of being stuck in the plane with you." As Australia opened his mouth to retort, Wy grinned up from her sketchpad, deciding to put her own two cents into the conversation.
"I can side with him on that one! Well, not on the bit on being in here with you, but the plane trip in general!" Nodding, the Australian flung himself back on the couch and flung his arms up in the air before sighing in annoyance.
"'Can understand that. Crikey, if I have to spend much more time on here-"
"We have another 20 hours, Jason."
"-'m gonna explode!"
"Explode then, see if I care." Muttered Benjamin, returning to his book, but he was ignored as Jason sat up quickly.
"OH! I almost forgot!" Picking up his unusually large on-board bag from the floor next to the couch, Australia zipped open the main pocket and pulled out-
"Hhhsssiiii."
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I honestly forgot!"
"I thought you were told to leave Matilda at home." Benjamin had been startled out of his reading by the mixed hissing and growling that sounded when Jason opened his bag, but had relaxed slightly once he saw it was just his bo- friend's pet koala.
"Well I'll be damned if you didn't bring Mahina or Edward." Jason retorted, poking his tongue out at Benjamin before grinning when the Kiwi didn't response in away.
"See? I'm not the only one breakin' the rules!"
"Jaaaassssssooooooonnnnn!" Wy whined, skipping over from her position and plopping herself onto her big brother's stomach. "I'm bored! Can we play I Spy?"
"Sure! D'ya wanna go first?"
"Okay! I spy with my little eye… something beginning with… B!"
Jeez, mentally sighed Benjamin, and we've only been in the air for half 'n hour. This was going to be a long ride.
At least it was a private plane.

"Wwwoooooooooooowww…" Wy gasped, her face pressed flat against the tinted window of the limousine as she watched the large, golden gateway get closer and closer.
Behind it, massive stretches of lush green set the spread before a large set of building could be seen on the horizon. On the left of the bunch of buildings was something that resembled a sports stadium and on the far right was what appeared to be a large lake with some sort of land forming in the middle.
Of course, they could only guess what half of these were because it was currently the middle of the night.
Jason let out a giant yawn, which then provoked a yawn from both his little sister and Ben. Chuckling, he yawned yet again and laughed even harder when he get two glares from the two nations as they yawned again.
"Shut up, Jas, you know yawning is contagious." Scowled Benjamin while Wy slapping her own cheeks to make a hollow popping sound as though it would stop the yawns.
"Yeah! And a long flight never he-" Here Wy had to pause her energetic response as she let out another gigantic yawn -and set of the other two again- and rubbed her eyes. "-helps. Never helps… and the fact that its night doesn't either! I can't sleep on planes and we left in the middle of the day too! It's not fair, I ha-ha-haven't-" Cue another yawn. "Haven't slept in ages."
"You know ya could o' fallen asleep on the trip 'ere." Although his voice may not have sounded at all worried -actually, it sounded rather cynical-, there was a soft glint in the Aussie's gaze.
"No." Huffed Wy stubbornly, still rubbing her eyes slightly. "I couldn't leave you two with my bags! I will stay awake until we go up to our rooms!"
"Wy-"
"NO!" Screamed Wy, her tiredness obviously not helping with her childish temper.
"Wy-" This time Benjamin was about to try, but was interrupted by the driver.
"Um, sir's and misses? We're here." Cheering, and obviously forgetting about her previous tiredness, Wy leapt out the door and stared up at the glamorous building in front of them for a couple of seconds before spinning around in circles, not minding the way her smock got caught on one of her arms as she span.
"Isn't it grand, big brother?" Wy's breathless excitement caused laughter to bubble up in both Jason and Benjamin, along with the exhilaration they were also feeling about finally being included in something all the larger countries were involved in. All three, and all their Oceania relations, were sick of being put to the side and… well, there were no real words to describe it.
"Alright, guys, let's get the bags out of the car so Mr Driverman can park and get some sleep too-" Benjamin nodded at the driver as he sent him a thankful look from where he was opening the boot. "And we can go to bed as well."
"Aww, but I wanted to play soccer!"
"Not now, Wy, you and Jason can play in the morning." Chided Benjamin, shooing the two of them toward the back of the car where the suitcases were making their way to the pavement.
"Fine, but you have to play as well!"
"Okay, just grab your stuff." As Wy ran towards Mr Driverman and took her pillows and toy rabbit from him, thanking him as she did so, Jason snuck up next to Ben and wrapped his arm around Ben's shoulders.
"Hey, er… how are we going to know which room is ours?"
"I already know; it was sent in the letter, along with the map of the place." Jason looked at Benjamin as though he'd said something completely absurd.
"Wait, we all got a letter?"
"Well, yeah… how else did you think I'd found out?"
"Eh, I had assumed you'd heard it from Solo or someone who had written to you..." Raising his eyebrow as if to say 'really', New Zealand shook his head.
"No, there was a letter, Jason. When did you last check your post-box?"
"Umm…" That was enough of an answer for Benjamin and he sighed before smirking slightly.
"Hmph, seems like you can't even beat me at that."
"Hey, I beat you at a lot of things!" Australia proclaimed, sending his best friend a cocky glare.
"Yeah? Like what?"
"Like AFL-"
"That's an Australian sport, Jas."
"-Monopoly-"
"May I remind you who won the last game?"
"-Seeing as I won fifteen games in a row before the last game-"
"Luck."
"-And I have the sheep that produce the better wool-"
"Oh, you did not." A glare formed on Ben's face properly this time and soon the two of them were locked in a glare-war.
"Oh, but I think I did."
"Well you know what I think?"
"What?"
"I think, that you-" Ben stepped forward and jabbed a finger on the Aussie's -manly, smexy- chest. "Are a-"
"Uh… guys? Can you have your argument some other time… it's getting kinda cold out here…" Wy was holding back yawns badly again and the two nations nodded, grabbing their bags and Benjamin took the lead, heading towards the left side of the building.
"Com'on, we'll take the entrance closer to our dorms instead of the main one, we can sign in tomorrow."
Now that she had come down from her excitement high, Wy was so tired that she couldn't remember which turns they had taken where. There was no doubt in her mind -not that she'd admit it out loud- that she would get a little lost tomorrow, but it didn't really matter anymore. All that mattered was getting to bed and falling asleep.
"Okay, Wy, this is your room. My room is right next door and Jason is directly across the hall, okay?" Wy blinked tiredly; why did her eyelids feel heavier than usual? Oh, right, that was a question.
"Okay…"
"Night, Wy."
"Sleep well, lil' sis."
As soon as they had left, Wy stumbled over to the bed and collapsed onto it, letting her eyes slide shut.
…
Okay, now this sucked.
Trembling, Wy cuddled closer to her bunny as the walls appeared to shift and loom over her, purple aura leaking from them. Shadows made hands with sharp, glinting knifes; don't ask how shadows glint, they just do.
They were coming to get someone.
They were coming to get her.
Shooting from the bed, bunny still in hand, Wy hurried out the room and into the one next door; Ben would protect her! Benjamin was good at protect-
Wy whimpered, and dashed back out of the empty suite. Benjamin was gone! The shadows had gotten him! Hopefully Jason was okay! Dashing into the room on the other side of the hall, Wy ran straight into a solid thing, a loud 'omph' sounding in the room, and arms wrapped around her.
Oh god, it was the monsters and they had already got Jason and they had got Benjamin and now they were going to get her and, oh dear god, she was going to die wasn't she and-
"Wy! Wy! Breath, come on, it's okay. It's just me." Jason's face appeared in her line of vision as warmth on both of her cheeks made her aware that he was holding her face. "Shh, it's okay, it's okay."
Letting go of another whimper, Wy cuddled into her elder brother, still grasping bunny tightly, and focused on calming her breathing. She could no longer hear the shadows creeping up; in fact, the only sound was the sound of running water. After a couple of minutes of relative silence, Jason spoke up.
"What happened?"
"Creepy shadows." Mumbled Wy, causing him to chuckle lightly.
"Still scared of the dark, huh? Sorry 'bout that… s'ppose it's kind o' my fault…"
"You didn't know."
"Still should o' played the prank on ya; wasn't right."
Pulling back, Wy did her best to glare at him.
"It was just a prank gone wrong. We all play pranks. It's not your fault." Her voice breaking halfway through her statement probably didn't do anything in her favour, though.
The door to Jason's bathroom opened suddenly, and Wy jumped and tensed up, only to relax again when she realised that it was just Benjamin -in all his shirtless glory, but just Benjamin nonetheless.
"Hey… what's going on?" He asked, concern lacing his voice.
"Wy had another panic attack." Jason stood up, lifting up Wy as he did so and carrying her over to the bed and placing her on the covers. "She'll be joining us tonight." The again that was attached to the end of that sentence seemed to float in the air of the room, but either no one really minded or they were all too tired to care.
Nodding, Benjamin grabbed a set of pyjamas from his suitcase and headed towards the bathroom to get changed, and Jason turned towards Wy.
"Are you comfortable sleeping in those, or do you want to borrow something of mine?"
"I'm good…" Mumbled Wy, lying back on the bed.
Smiling softly -something that was unusual for the Aussie-, Jason climbed into the bed next to her and pulled her into a hug.
"Hey, don't worry, okay? We're here now, and nothing is going to get you." Nodding, Wy snuggled into the hug and felt the bed shift on the other side of the bed as Benjamin got in.
"Nigh' night."
"G'night."
"Night…"
As with that the room fell silent.
…
Except for Jason's accursed snoring.
