Hello people! This is my second Hetalia fanfiction! Woohoo! Anyway, before you decide that you don't want to read this, please try it out. It might not be the best, but no one can be perfect. You may also have seen stories of the same theme but I assured you, this is nothing like the others for the reason that I'm combining the original story with Hans Christian Anderson, the Disney version, and nonsense I'm adding to it. And it's practically the story times like 6. So without further ado, the pairings: FrUK, Spamano, PruHun, GerIta and some implied others (surprises). Also I don't plan on this story being long, but knowing my record, I once wrote a 20 some-page story for my teachers so yeah…Let's start the story.
Our story begins beneath the sand, beyond the foam, and under the sea. Our story is about not fish or any normal sea creatures but merpeople. It begins underwater in the Kingdom of Aquatica. Our story now centers on a certain trio of mermen.
"Hey! Watch where you're going, you idiots!"
"Lo siento, mi amigo," yelled a merman with brown, somewhat curly hair, green eyes, and a red fin.
"Kesesesesese! Don't apologize! It was his fault ve almost knock him over!" said a merman with white hair, red eyes, and a black fin.
"But mon ami, isn't our fault zat we're swimming fast through ze kingdom?" asked a merman with shoulder length, blonde hair, blue eyes, and blue fin.
"Nope! Kesesesese!" The white-haired one laughed as he flew faster through the kingdom.
"Hold up, Gilbert!" The brown-haired one yelled. The blonde laughed and followed after. The trio dove and dodged obstacles throughout the kingdom's heart which was extremely crowded with merfolk and market merchandise. They also ended up knocking both people and items for the outdoor market.
"BRUDER!" The trio stopped and turn around to see a merman with blonde , slick-back hair, blue eyes, and black fin. Gilbert, the white hair one, laughed.
"Vhat, Ludwig?" Gilbert asked. Ludwig gave him and the other two a stern look.
"Turn around and tell me vhat you see." The trio turned around and saw people on the ground and broken items floating in the water. Gilbert turned back around and shrugged.
"Shit happens?" Gilbert said with the other two snickering behind him.
"We're sorry, mi amigo," The brunette merman said.
"Antonio," Ludwig started, "Be quiet."
"But we really are sorry, mon ami," the blonde said.
"Francis," Ludwig said, "You be quiet too. You should also be ashamed. Aren't you next in line for ze throne?"
"Yes, but zat's not for a while so I just want to 'ave fun," Francis said.
"Some king you'll turn out be," Ludwig said. Francis sighed.
"Don't feel bad, Francis," Antonio said as he patted Francis's back.
"So who's cleaning zis mess?" Ludwig asked. The trio looked back at the chaos they create one last time and swam away as fast as they could. "BRUDER!" The trio swam straight for the castle of kingdom. Then they entered through Francis's room window on the third floor. Once they got there, they busted out laughing.
"Did you see ze people's faces? Kesesesese! They looked so mad!" Gilbert said between laughs.
"Well, wouldn't you if you were both knocked down by three mermen and the stuff that you're trying to sell was also broken?" Antonio asked.
"Nope! I would get over it! Kesesesesese!"
"I'm pretty sure they expect us to go clean zat all up," Francis said as he laid on his bed.
"Can't you go tell a guard to go clean up?" Gilbert asked.
"Yeah," Antonio asked, "You are the prince." Francis chuckled.
"It doesn't work like zat, mon ami," Francis said. Then someone knock on the door.
"Prince Francis?"
"Oui?"
"Your father, the king, request your presence." Francis sighed.
"Tell him I'm on my way," he yelled then turned to Antonio and Gilbert to whispered, "Leave and make sure you don't get caught." Antonio and Gilbert nodded and swam out the window. Francis then left his room for the throne room. The throne room was a large turquoise room with a large, blue throne in the shape of a clam in the back of the room. Sitting on the throne was a merman who looked similar to Francis just with gray hair and indigo eyes.
"'Ello, Francis," he said.
"'Ello, Father," Francis said.
"'Ow are you doing?"
"Good, good," Francis said calmly.
"Did you doing anything today?"
"Non."
"Are you sure?"
"Oui."
"Nothing 'appened in town today?" Francis twitched slightly.
"Non."
"Are you lying to me?"
"Maybe," The king chuckled and shook his head. Then a guard came in carrying both Antonio and Gilbert who were squiring in his arms.
"Sire, I found these two lurking around the castle," the guard said as he dropped Gilbert and Antonio.
"I thought I told you two not to be caught!" Francis yelled.
"Mi amigo, it's very hard with Gilbert's hair color," Antonio said.
"Kesesesese! I can't help zat my hair is awesome." Gilbert said. The king chuckled.
"I'm assuming zat you guys were ze ones who caused ze ruckus in the town?" The king asked. Antonio and Gilbert nodded. The king laughed. "Are you trying to 'ave my kingdom turn against me? Oh, Francis, your friends…"
"Um, does zat mean were not in trouble?" Gilbert asked. Both Francis and Antonio gave Gilbert a scared look.
"Oh, Gilbert, you are very funny. Who said anything about not getting in trouble?"
"I hate you, Gil," Antonio said as he picked up shards of pottery from the market.
"Like it was my fault zat ve got in trouble," Gilbert said as he rearranged items in someone's booth.
"Gil, it's your fault and will always be your fault," Francis said, "You 'ave to be EXTREMELY careful when you talk to my father.
"He's your father so how vas I supposed to know zat?"
"We've gotten in trouble many times before, amigo," Antonio said.
"Yeah, but not for zis!"
"Different things, same result," Francis said. Then everyone was quiet for the rest time. It was night and everyone was at home so there was nobody in the market. It was extremely quiet as the trio cleaned up their mess. The trio then stopped when they heard a ruffling noise.
"Vhat vas zat?" Gilbert asked.
"I don't know," Francis whispered, "Be quiet and follow ze noise."
"But we don't what it is," Antonio whispered.
"Zat's what we're going to find out. Shh…" The trio was once again quiet to listen for the noise. Then they heard the noise again and follow immediate after it. The trio followed the noise to a booth and saw a small mermaid with light, waist-long, blonde hair, aqua green eyes, a teal top, and a purple fin rummaging through it. Francis immediately swam up to her and grabbed her arm, "'Ey, Gil, look! It's a little urchin!"
"I don't see a little urchin, Francis, I see a little thief!" Gilbert said as he swam up to the girl.
"Please," the mermaid pleaded, "I didn't steal anything!"
"Not yet!" Francis said. Gilbert looked at the mermaid's neck and saw a necklace with a sun and two moons on it with seashell beads.
"How about zis?" Gilbert said as he grabbed the necklace, "How did ve know zat you didn't steal zis!"
"Trust me! I didn't!"
"I zink ve should alert ze guards about zis, Francis," Gilbert suggested.
"I think so too," Francis said.
"Wait, wait, I'll do anything!" the mermaid begged.
"Like vhat?" Gilbert asked.
"I'll show you…magic!"
"Magic?" Francis asked.
"Ja," The mermaid said.
"Vhat type of magic?" Gilbert asked.
"I'll show you the rare flying fire flower."
"Fire flower?" Antonio asked, causing the other two to remember that he was here. The mermaid turned to Antonio and nodded her head furiously.
"Ja, a fire flower that flies!"
"Well, that sounds promising," Antonio said.
"Okay, team huddle!" Francis yelled. The trio formed into a huddle.
"Okay, what are we going to do, amigos?"
"I don't know. First things first, should we believe 'er?" Francis asked.
"I don't zink so," Gilbert said.
"But what if she's telling the truth? What if she's going to show us something we never seen before?"
"But should ve trust her?"
"We don't know!" Francis said.
"Vell, I have nothing to lose."
"Neither do I."
"I do!"
"Like vhat?"
"Ze throne!" The trio sighed.
"We're in," they said simultaneously.
"Good, good. I'll show you tomorrow. By the way, my name is Luna."
"Wait," Francis said, " 'Ow do we know zat you'll actually show us ze fire flower?" Luna smiled.
"I just gave you my name. Would a 'thief' give you their name?" The trio shook their heads. "Good, meet me at the southern edge of the kingdom at dusk. Don't be late." The small mermaid swam away from the trio as fast as she could.
"Francis," Antonio started, "Did we do the right thing by trusting her?"
"I don't know," Francis said, "Like you guys said, we have nothing to lose."
And that is the end of the first chapter! I hope you enjoyed. Please review the story! Also, for those of you who haven't read my other Hetalia fanfiction, Rise of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, Luna is the personification of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. Please read that story too and beware because I was slightly naïve of the fandom at the time I wrote it. Hasta la Pasta!
