Soggy Froggy

One slightly chilly and grey summer's day France, England, America and Romano were taking a walk on the beach. The four nations had taken the weekend off to to relax. Well, France England and America had taken the weekend off. Romano had been stolen by France in order to piss Spain off. They were having what America called a 'camping experience.' This meant that they had rented a cottage on a beach, but the moment they had arrived, America insisted that they go to the nearest Walmart to buy a tent. After some very loud protesting, the other three nations gave in and went with America to the Walmart. (Romano had even bought a Mr. Tomatohead toy and was currently chuckling to himself while holding the mustache that came with it up to the other nations faces).

Yes, America's 'camping experience' consisted of pitching a tent on the back porch of a perfectly good beach cottage and refusing to let anyone out of the tent and into the cottage in the middle of the night no matter how hard it was raining. Oh, it also meant that America called sharing an air mattress with Romano and refused to let anyone out of the tent and into the cottage in the middle of the night even though England was forced to share and air mattress with France. That is a story for a different time.

The Nations were taking a walk on the beach. Despite the slightly chilly weather they had abandoned their uniforms for more casual clothing. All of them except for England. He claimed that because he was a gentleman, he would wear his uniform through the duration of their holiday. They came to a stream that was flowing into the surf and America, who was wearing shorts, immediately plunged across. France and Romano paused to roll up their pants. England immediately began to whine about how he was a gentleman and how he was wearing a uniform and how it would be a travesty for said uniform to get soiled. Finally, sick of the brits whining, Romano agreed to carry him across. France and Romano forded the stream, the latter carrying a still whining 'gentleman' piggy-back style. Once across, Romano started laughing as he proclaimed that he would not carry England back. England immediately started shouting at Romano, calling him things such as 'git' and 'wanker' and all of his other usual insults, Romano just laughed.

When it began to look like England might resort to violence, France decided to intervene. The last thing that he wanted was to share an air mattress with an angry brit. He agreed to carry England back over the stream. England called him a frog, but when the time came for the Nations to head back to the 'campsite' he willingly leapt up onto France's back. France was halfway across the stream when something wonderful happened. Well, England thought it was wonderful. As soon as France got to the deepest part of the stream a large wave from the ocean washed into it. France cursed as ice cold water rose up to swirl around his legs, drenching his rolled-up pants. England tucked his legs up just in time, and being perfectly dry he giggled at France's plight.

THE END!
