"Is it going to be worse than what we did earlier?"
"Is what going to be worse?"
"The next adventure."
"Oh, you thought that was bad? That was just to warm you up."
"Warm us up? Well, I felt a lot colder when I landed in that ice water."
Iceland laughed.
"I won't make you do anything, if you don't want to. I'll just take you for a little walk and show you some places and maybe we'll go river rafting. And maybe also ice climbing. Then I'll let you guys go to the Blue Lagoon tonight. How does that sound?"
"River rafting?"
"Ice climbing?"
"I thought that you guys were vikings once." Iceland said and lifted one eyebrow.
"We were."
"So you're afraid of little outdoor activities?"
The Nordics were now following the teenage boy. They had been walking for quite a while now and they were pretty tired. But Iceland didn't look tired at all.
"Can we please sit down and take a break?" Denmark asked and sat down on the grass. The rest did the same thing.
"Hey, why are we walking everywhere, anyway? Can't we just drive a car?" Sweden questioned. The others looked at Iceland who was staring at a mountain, with the top almost covered in snow, in the distant.
"Iceland?" Norway poked his brother in the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, what?" Iceland said quickly after he got out of the stare.
"Why can't we just take a car?" Sweden asked again.
"Well, then we'll only see a part of the landscape, and roads. This way we'll see more of the beauty." Iceland said and looked around the country, smiling.
"Wait. Did you just call yourself beautiful?" Denmark asked and grinned. Ice looked quickly at him.
"What? No! The island! Anyway." Iceland quickly changed the subject. "Should we be going?"
"But we've only been stop for like, half a minute." Norway complained.
"Ugh, fine. But how can we kill time?" Iceland asked and laided down on his back in the grass and looked up at the clouds who were constantly changing their shapes.
"I know!" Finland suddenly said and quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Let's read facts about Iceland!"
"...seriously?" Denmark asked and raised one eyebrow.
"Yeah! C'mon, we know almost nothing about him." Finland insisted and started looking for facts in his phone. Iceland just stared at the phone. They were really going to read facts about him? Ugh, typical Finland. Iceland didn't want to listen. It would just be embarrassing so he just decided to ignore them and continue watching the fluffy, white clouds on the sky.
"Oh, here's one. 'If you ever find yourself in a moment of awkward silence just talk about the weather, Icelanders love to talk about the weather'. Really?" Finland read.
"Lets try it. Hey, Iceland!" Danmark yelled at the boy who was laying in the grass. Ice turned his head so he was facing them.
"What?"
"Beautiful day, isn't it. It's so... cloudy, and stuff." Denmark said, with a bad poker face.
"Yes, it is. It's actually very often cloudy here. That's one of the reasons why it's so often cold. We usually get sun in June and July, and then it's actually daylight 24 hours of the day. In the winter, around Christmas time, we rarely see the sun." He said and then looked back away.
"Haha, I guess that fact is true." Sweden said and smiled.
"This is fun! Read another one!" Denmard eagerly said.
"Okay, um... oh, here's one. 'Many Icelanders believe in elves. Certain roads have been re-routed to avoid disturbing areas where elves are thought to live'." Finland read outloud from his phone.
"That's... special." Norway said and glanced at Iceland who was in his own world, not listening to what they were saying at all.
"That's adorable!" Finland lit up with joy and smiled widely.
"What's so adorable about it?" Denmark asked.
"That he believes in elvels." Finland said, still smiling widely. But Iceland had really heard about that fact and what they said about it, so he sat up and looked at Scandinavia.
"Iceland. Why do you believe in elves?" Denmark asked and stared at Iceland. His white skin turned a little bit pinker.
"Just because... that's just... how we are, I guess." He murmured and looked away, so the others wouldn't notice that he was blushing.
"Aww, don't be embarassed. It's cute." Finland said, trying to cheer Iceland up.
"There's nothing cute about elves. Not our elves. Now, choose. Either you move on to the next fact or we stand up and continue walking." Iceland said and the others nodded. Finland was already looking for another fact when a hand suddenly grabbed Finland's phone.
"Give me that." Denmark said as he took the phone and started scanning through it. He loved Iceland like a brother, but what he loved more was embarrassing him.
"Hmm." He said as he scanned through it. "Oh. 'Icelanders have unique superstitions such as: "If the first calf born during the winter is white, the winter will be a bad one" and "If you sneeze three times before breaking fast on a Sunday, you will gain something in that week'. Dude. What the hell?" He asked Iceland who just smiled.
"Oh, that. Yeah, we're full of stuff like that." Iceland said, laughed a little and shaked his head slightly.
"My turn!" Norway said as he quickly grabbed the phone out of Denmark's phone. "Ooh, volcanoes. 'Because it's located on the Mid-Atlantic ridge, Iceland is an incredibly active country geologically. There are more than 125 volcanic mountains in the country, a handful of which are still very active, and another handful that could easily awaken and become active as the country changes and grows. Iceland experiences a volcanic eruption roughly once every 4 years, though the past few years have seen one eruption or more each year (we all remember Eyjafjallajokull, right?). Because of this constant activity, a good portion of Iceland is covered in lava fields'. So that's why you erupt so often?" Iceland nodded.
"That's boring. I wanna find out something juicy." Denmark said and stole the phone again. After a short time he yelled: "Oh my dear god!"
"What, what, what?" Sweden asked excited. Finland looked at the phone and covered his eyes. Iceland sighed.
"What did you find?"
"You... have a... penis museum?" Denmark asked disgusted.
"Iceland! What were you thinking?" Norway yelled and Iceland blushed again.
"It-It's not what you think!" He said a quickly stood up. Norway did the same thing and stared at Ice. The others watched them with interest.
"I thought you were my little brother!" Norway said loudly.
"I am!"
"Then why do you have a pe-... museum like that?"
"I'm sorry! There's just this one guy in Húsavík who is... special.. and he did this. Don't blame me! You have no idea how embarrasing this is for me and the other Icelandic people!"
"But why haven't you closed it? You can easilly do that!" Iceland looked down at his toes.
"Ice?"
"It... it attractes tourists. Because it was voted the.. weirdest museum in the world." Iceland confessed. He then looked around and quickly said: "We've stopped for long enough. Let's go." And started walking.
"Don't you even dare think that we're done talking about this!" Norway loudly yelled after Iceland and walked after him.
If you're wondering, yes, there is a penis museum here. It's really embarrassing.
