The English Class of Hetalia Academy, Switzerland, were not happy. Well four, possibly five out of the eight students weren't happy: Matthew and Tino would complacently go along with pretty much anything, Kiku rarely showed any emotion but Yao was insisting that he was displeased and it was debatable if Feliciano ever got unhappy, but the fact still remained that the majority of the class was displeased with the project they had been set.
"You want this gorgeous face to come in contact with peasants! This will not do!"
"Aiyah! What happens if they are diseased!?"
"They might not like us sensei."
"They might make fun of us because of our money."
"Dude! This is so not cool!"
"Bastard!"
The teacher tried in vain to calm the swearing students but ultimately failed as he led his still grumbling class to the computer room to begin the first part of their project.
"As I was saying, for this COMPLUSORY project you are required to talk to someone from a DIFFERENT school to the kind that you are currently in. This means HETALIA SCHOOL from over the river. Now log on and follow the instructions. UNDERSTOOD?" They had to yell at several points just to make sure that they heard and understood him and he watched as luckily they all logged on with different degrees of reluctance.

Yao logged on, sitting ramrod straight in his chair as the muscles in his back twinged and pulled causing tiny daggers of pain to shoot down his spine. He could sense his younger brother's concerned glance on him from time to time, but he ignored it. He knew that Kiku still felt guilty but it was his burden to bear. On the screen words popped up 'Pick a username: Nothing offensive, Only English is registered and can be used during these sessions; After selecting your username, you will be paired up randomly with a single person from the corresponding group and they will be your partner until this is over.'
He snorted. A username? DragonNotADoll. He waited glancing around the room as the loading symbol appeared on the screen. The grumbles of disapproval had mainly disappeared, as everyone focused on their own screens. A faint dinging could be heard as his computer connected to whichever horrible person he would be forced to communicate with for however long this project took.
A name popped up on the screen: JustAUnimportantPart. He glanced at the screen and then at the keyboard.
"Kiku!" he hissed across the room.
"Yes Yao?"
"How do you get this thing to work!?" he nearly wailed. Yao hated technology. He heard the faint thud as the teacher smacked his head off of the desk, but he ignored it. Kiku chuckled and carefully wheeled himself over to where Yao was sitting and whispered how to type into his ear. Yao nodded his thanks to Kiku who smiled pleasantly back and was wheeled back to his computer by Alfred who had appeared from nowhere.
DragonNotADoll: Hello
JustAnUnimportantPart: Hey. So I guess that you're the rich kid that I have to talk to for the next few weeks
Yao blinked. That reply was fast!
DragonNotADoll: And I suppose that you are the person from Hetalia School that I have to talk to for the duration of this project.
JustAnUnimportantPart: I suppose I am… So what do you like?
DragonNotADoll: What do you mean what do I like? We just have to act like we're talking to one another, not actually get to know each other
JustAnUnimportantPart: Awww Qīn'ài de! It'll be boring if I only pretend I'm talking to you! And besides my teacher will check and I'll fail if you don't talk to me!
DragonNotADoll: Don't call me Qīn'ài de And why would I care if you fail or not? You are 'JustAnUnimportantPart' after all
JustAnUnimportantPart: And instead of a Dragon you should've put down 'IcePrincessNotADoll'. And why can't I call you Qīn'ài de, Qīn'ài de? Do you even know what it means?
Did this low educated, filthy little cretin just call him a girl?! That did it. Yao pushed his chair back and stuck his feet on the table, pulling a cook book out of his pocket as he did so. Kiku read manga, he read cookbooks.
JustAnUnimportantPart: I've offended you haven't I? What did I say that? 'Cause I can't see anything.
"Yao?" called Kiku gently. Yao glanced up and saw Kiku pointing at the screen upon which messages from that ignorant peasant flashed. Begrudgingly (and so Kiku wouldn't decide to come over and force him to read it) he looked at his screen
JustAnUnimportantPart: OH! You thought I was calling you a girl, it's just an expression Qīn'ài de! Imsorry and I won't say it again
DragonNotADoll: Apology accepted. How did you know?
JustAnUnimportantPart: I think my brother is talking to yours. He came over and told me that you were offended. How he knew it was me, I'll never know.
Kiku burst out laughing from across the room.
DragonNotADoll: Speaking of brothers, mine has just burst out laughing. Do you have any knowledge of why?
JustAnUnimportantPart: I am not my brother's keeper Qīn'ài de. So what's your favourite colour?
DragonNotADoll: Again with what I like?
JustAnUnimportantPart: Why not? Unless you have a better question/idea?
DragonNotADoll: It's red. Yours?
JustAnUnimportantPart: Mine's dark red. Food?
DragonNotADoll: Chinese Tasty Treats. Favourite Animal?
JustAnUnimportantPart: Same and Panda.
DragonNotADoll: This is weird.
JustAnUnimportantPart: How so?
DragonNotADoll: My favourite animal is a panda as well. Favourite Country?
JustAnUnimportantPart: China. Favourite Cartoon character?
DragonNotADoll: China too. We have to go now. Goodbye.
JustAnUnimportantPart: No you don't! You forgot about our brothers? Why do you not want to answer that question?
JustAnUnimportantPart: Hello?
JustAnUnimportantPart: Fine, Goodbye Qīn'ài de!

Well, what do you think? I'm thinking about doing a separate IM conversation for each of the pairings I have from the view point of the academy students.
The character with the username 'JustAnUnimportantPart' doesn't belong to me, they belong to IAmTheBlackbird. I own nothing.
If you want to see a pairing mentioned or want to see something happen please leave a review or PM me. Please review even if it is just one word I will be happy.
