Chapter 1
-A day in Munich-
3rd, June, 2015
When he awoke, Reikland first noticed the dim light of the early morning cascading into his bedroom, casting everything in pale yellow haze. Damn, he thought as he stared outside his window into the misty bright green forest showing the signs of late spring on the other side of the glass, my country is so beautiful.
He then was interrupted from his trance by an obnoxious snore from the other side of his bed.
Why does she have to snore like a lumberjack? Varyn thought as he settled back down under his blanket to try to fall back asleep. Better yet, how do I manage to sleep at all when she is here?
He decided to ignore the question and just enjoy her presence. After all, she does only visit for about a month every now and then. Might as well try to make it last. As he thought this he started to drift off back to sleep…
Then his eyes burst open. Holy shit I almost forgot! He threw his blanket off of him and shook his lover beside him.
"Julia! Julia wake up!" he yelled as her eyes opened.
"Varyn? What is it?" the Prussian mumbled as she looked at the clock beside her. "It's only 6:48, why do we have to be awake? The awesome-me needs her beauty sleep you know."
"Because princess-snores-like-a-man, tomorrow is the World Conference Meeting and our plane to Munich leaves at 8:00!" Varyn quickly said as he ran into the bathroom to take a shower, turning the faucet on.
"Oh crap! We forgot! I thought we set our alarm to 6:00 to make sure we had plenty of time!"
"Yes I know but yesterday I heard that we were going to have a thunder storm some time during the night, I guess it knocked out the power and the clocks were reset." He said as he started to strip his clothes off.
"Why don't you just get a stupid generator already?" Prussia murmured to herself. She then looked over to her now almost nude lover about to jump into the shower. "Hey, mind if I join you in there? It would save timmeeee..." The albino said seductively, dragging out the last word.
"Sure, but just shower okay? We need to hurry."
"Aye-Aye captain!" She responded, swaying her hips back and forth as she closed the door to the bathroom.
*Le time skip to airport*
Both Varyn and Julia boarded the plane just in time, just before one of the stewardesses was about to close off the door to the boarding tunnel.
"G-Glad we made i-it in time" The albino said in-between breaths, her chest heaving from the two having to sprint to their plane.
"Y-Yeah," Reikland huffed, "guess we were lucky."
"It obviously was because of mein awesome good-luck!" Prussia said as she gave her iconic cocky grin.
Varyn just smiled and sat down in his seat, when Julia sat down next to him she instinctively rested her head on his shoulder.
"I just hope this meeting isn't as hectic as the one last time in Milan" Reikland sighed as he settled down.
"Yeah, Feliciano isn't the best at maintaining order, but you do have to admit it was hilarious when we locked Francois and Arthur together in the janitor's closet." She chuckled at the memory.
"Yeah it was funny, but usually when we have a meeting in Germany he doesn't allow us to have any fun. I mean I get it, we are nations and we have responsibilities, but you can still let us hang out just a little. I mean do you remember when we had that ice storm in Albany back in 2008? We were trapped in the conference building and we just did cool shit until the storm passed over and we could leave." Reikland sighed again, "I wish we could just have a day dedicated to doing fun stuff."
"I know what you mean Varyn, and please, if anyone gets to complain about my bruder, it's me. I mean I'm the one who has to live with him for most of the year." The Prussian scoffed.
"Remember, you have to go back to him next week."
"Ugh, don't remind me. I hate having to go back to live with him for so long, his un-awesomeness totally ruins my time with him!"
He was surprised, "I thought you loved Ludwig? You never really complained about going before."
"Oh trust me, I do love my bruder, but when I get to stay with you, we always hang out and do cool stuff, but recently Ludwig has started to ignore me, not completely, but enough to make me hate being with him. I just hope he's not finally fed up with me." Prussia frowned as she spoke.
"Oh come on Julia, everyone loves to hang out with you and you know that. Now where is that over-confident attitude that I love?"
She smiled as he said this. "You're right! I don't need him to drag me down! And you know what? Screw going back to Germany, I'm not going to return for a while and I'll spend my time with you and actually enjoy myself!" and by this time she was standing.
A few of the passengers shushed her to be quiet, and Prussia confidently sat back down, and the rest of the plane ride was enjoyed in silence.
*Le time skip to next day*
As Varyn and Julia entered the conference building they were greeted by a number of people, Denmark came up to clap Reikland on the back."Hey Varyn, good to see you! And you too Julia! I'm sorry I couldn't come to the last meeting, I had some important stuff to take care of back home."
"It's okay Mathias, you're here now. But I will say that Lukas did seem pretty bored with you gone."
Mathias chuckled at this, "When isn't he bored at these meetings? Anyways let's try to hangout after today's meeting is over ok? Could go to a bar or something."
With this the silver-haired Prussian's eyes lit up, "Ja, that sounds like a great idea! And I mean we all know that Bavarians make the most awesome beer!"
"Ha! I think I'll stick to my Danish Schnapps! Anyways I'll talk to you guys later okay?" And with that Denmark left the two, probably to go find Lukas and apologize.
"Well the conference should start pretty soon, shall we make our way there?" The Albino asked.
"We shall!" Responded Reikland, he then gestured to the door of the main room, "Right this way M'lady." He said, in the most snobbish aristocratic way possible.
Prussia just rolled her eyes and smiled, "Now you are starting to sound like Roderich."
When they had sat down in their assigned seats, with Julia in between her brother and Varyn, the meeting was about to start and people were starting to talk to each other. While this was happening she snuck off to where England and America were sitting. Reikland couldn't see her well from his position and just waited for her to return. As he looked around he noticed all the other nations that had come. The Netherlands and Portugal were arguing about who's colonial empire was greater, Sweden was talking to Lithuania about an IKEA shipment that had sunk near the latter's coast, and South Korea was talking to Japan, probably discussing about the hottest new manga. In the meantime he made small talk with France who was a couple of seats away. When the Prussian finally returned she had a devilish look in her eyes.
"I know that look. What did you do?" Reikland whispered to her.
"Oh don't worry you will find out in a second." She grinned mischievously.
Oh god, he thought, what prank has she done this time?
As Germany stood up he called for everyone to sit down and be quiet. The crowd of nations soon hushed down and looked up to Germany.
"As you know we are gathered here to talk about the world's issues. Now would anyone like to start us off?"
With this being said, Poland stood up and was about to start talking, when England and America simultaneously brought their drinks to their mouths.
"~kesesesese," Julia laughed under her breath, "here it comes."
A second later both of the aforementioned countries spit their drinks out with disgust.
"What the bloody hell!" England screeched, "This isn't tea!"
"What the-," America began, "this is no drink fit for a hero!"
England suddenly looked at his former colony, "You bloody git! You switched our drinks!" Shaking his friend by the shoulders.
America quickly raised his hands up in defense, "No I didn't! Why would I? I hate tea!"
"Well if you didn't do it, then who did?!"
After saying this both nations immediately turned their gazes to the albino women laughing.
"Oh, I should have known it would be you, you stupid kraut!" England yelled.
"Oh lighten up eyebrows! We all thought that was funny, right?" As she said this she looked around at all the smiling nations, "See? And what better way to start off the meeting than with an awesome spit-take!" Prussia started to laugh again.
"ENOUGH!" Germany roared, "Julia, if you want to make fun and games, then please leave! If not then just sit down and be quiet! We are here to discuss serious matters! Now, Poland, I think you were about to say something?"
Prussia looked a little hurt by her brother's words, but she quickly regained her composure. However she slumped a little in her chair and pouted.
Reikland knew he had to comfort her and gently whispered to her, "Hey don't let your brother's words bother you okay? I thought it was funny."
The woman merely shrugged, "Whatever." But she stopped pouting with this. And the rest of the meeting continued smoothly.
*Le time skip to after meeting*
When the meeting was done, the nations rose to stretch their legs and started talking again. It was an average peaceful meeting, only interrupted when America and Russia argued about the whole Crimea issue. But besides that it was okay. Reikland then went to the doorway of the room and called out to everyone nearby.
"Okay, so now that we are finished, is anyone interested in going to a bar? If you are please raise your hand!"
England scoffed at this, "What are we? 8 year olds in bloody primary school?"
"Oh just shut up Arthur! Are you coming or what?"
"Of course he's going!" Yelled Scotland, "No true Brit would pass down an opportunity for a pint!" As he said this he put an arm around his brother, grinning widely.
England just pushed Scotland off of him. "Yeah, yeah, I'll come." He sighed in defeat.
"Alright! Now who else?"
"I'll go, da?" Russia said, seemingly popping out of nowhere from behind Reikland. Most would be scared of the tall and intimidating Russian, but Reikland just smiled. Meanwhile Belarus latched onto her brother's arm.
"I can't let my brother go alone, now can I?"
"We're coming too!" Yelled Denmark, dragging an annoyed looking Norway behind him.
Don't forget about me mon ami!" Yelled France, rushing to where the growing group was. "Hopefully they have some wonderful wine there!"
*Le time skip to bar*
In the end a few other nations joined them, including; Austria, Hungary, Feliciano, Germany, Spain, and an irritated Romano. As they got their drinks and some food, the group loosened up and chatted more light-heartedly, they started to make to jokes and talked about the past.
"Hey France, remember when I totally kicked your ass in the Franco-Prussian War?" Yelled Prussia, gulping down some beer.
"No fair tu chien! Every nation has had their down points in history! Remember when you were a vassal of Poland for almost a hundred years?" France retorted.
Prussia winced at this.
"Too bad Francis has had some of the most down points out of all of this!" France glared at England when he said this.
"No, Arthur you are mistaken, that title would have to go to our amigo Antonio!" Chipped in Reikland.
"No fair! What did I do to deserve that?" Whined the Spaniard.
"Well I mean after the age of exploration, you didn't do much and let yourself be owned by everyone. Even The Netherlands won against you!"
"Hey shut up you bastard!" Yelled Romano, wanting to defend his friend.
"Can't we all just sit peacefully, da?" Russia chimed with a smiling yet deathly stare.
"Y-yeah guys, let's just enjoy each other's company, and this food!" Feliciano said, digging into his pasta with a fork.
"How on earth did you get bloody alfredo at a bar?" Asked Scotland.
"Ve~ I have my ways."
"Anyways, what do you chaps want to do tomorrow?" I mean we have the day off until the second meeting." England inquired.
"I was thinking about that, maybe we could visit Zugspitze?" The Reikish man suggested.
"You mean the tallest mountain in Germany? It's not much to look at." Said Austria a little arrogantly.
"I know but I've never been there and I know it's not that far. Ludwig how long would it take us to get there?" Varyn asked his friend.
"Zugspitze? Well it's about 120 kilometers from Munich, so I'd say about an hour and a half, maybe more."
"Ve~ that's not too far! We should go Germany!"
"What? But I've been there many times!" the tall blonde retorted, looking baffled.
"Oh come Ludwig! It would be fun!" Hungary encouraged.
"Hungary? Why do you want to go? My mountains are much more impressive!" Roderich whimpered.
"Because, it is not too far and sounds perfect for a day trip." She answered.
"Then it's settled! So who's wants to go?" Reikland asked as he looked around.
"Sorry man, tomorrow Lukas and I were going to hang out with the rest of the Nordics." Said Denmark glumly.
"Hey I'm Nordic too!" Reikland complained to his old rival.
"Yeah but you are tainted with that dirty Celtic blood." the Dane smirked.
"Oi! You want to say anything more about dirty Celts!?" Yelled Scotland, raising his beer glass.
"Oh pipe down Allister! It was just a joke. Anyways us two will go, maybe I can get America to come too." England said.
"That's sounds good." Remarked Reikland.
In the end, everyone agreed to go except Belarus who wouldn't let her big brother go. Russia looked at everyone for help, but no one wanted to get involved with his crazed sister.
"Well everyone, pack your bags, because tomorrow we'll spend the day at Zugspitze!"
