The flash-back chapter if you will. I told you there is a plot to this show… So here it is. The song sung is "It Sucks to be Me" also from Avenue Q. This takes place in the morning before the first chapter takes place (which is the afternoon)
Act 2
The countries sat in their classrooms. Mexico, America, Puerto Rico and Japan had all got into the same class. They had just listened to Mr. Austria's long introduction and the syablis had already been handed out.
"All right class, for the next week, you'll be exploring stereotypes and racism and how they affect our culture. You'll be expected to write a report on the subject, which is due at the end of next week. So you have two weeks. One for doing research and one for writing the report."
Students had mixed responses as they left to go back to their dorms (most of their morning classes were cancelled because of tours and because the classes that were still schedules for the day were merely introductions).
America sighed at the butt-load of forms he had to fill out (the meal plan forms, the order forms for the gym uniforms, one form that had to be taken home for his parents to sign to allow him to swim in the pool.). He managed to carry them all the way to his dorm without a struggle.
"Hey America, how's life?" Mexico asked, bumping into him in the hallway.
"Disappointing!"
"What's the matter?"
"When I was little, I thought I would be… A big comedian or rock star on TV. But now I'm stuck in school and as you can see, I'm not." America explained.
"Nope."
"Oh well… IT SUCKS TO BE ME." He said. "It sucks to be me. It sucks to be broke and un-employed and sucking at math!"
"I see…"
"It sucks to be me."
"Your problems aren't that bad. There are people worse off." Mexico said.
"What do you mean?" America asked.
"I'm muy chulito, hard working and smart."
"Yeah I know."
"I like a lot of things like music and art! And as you know I have a giagantic heart, so why~~~ Don't I have a girlfriend? FUCK IT SUCKS TO BE ME! It sucks to be me."
"It sucks to be Alfred."
"And Rick*"
"To not have a job!"
"To not have a date."
"It sucks to be me."
"It sucks to be me."
In unison. "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE IT DOESN'T SUCK TO BE?! IT SUCKS TO BE ME!"
Almost immediately France and Britain walked out of their dorm room, arguing as usual. "I'll pay you back, it's just ten dollars!" Said France.
"Bloody wanker, pay me back right now!"
"Hey, do you guys have a second?" America asked, the two stopping their arguing.
"Yeah, what's the matter America?"
"Whose life sucks more, Mexico's or mines?"
The two Europeans stopped to think. "OURS!"
France started. "We live together, close as two people can get."
"We've been the best of friends ever since the day we met." Britain said.
"So he knows ways to make me very upset. So every day is an aggravation."
"You wanker, that's an exaggeration!"
"You leave your clothes out; you put your feet on my chair!"
"You do such anal things like ironing your underwear!"
"You make that very small dorm room that we share, living hell!"
"So do you, that's why I'm in hell too!"
"It sucks to be me" Said France.
"No it sucks to be me." Britain said.
"It sucks to be me." Mexico and America sang in unison. Together everyone sang. "Is there anybody here it doesn't suck to be? IT SUCKS TO BE ME!"
Japan came out of his dorm, a singles room. "You think your rife sucks?" He cleared his throat. "I'm coming to this high school, for opportunities. Try to work in Korean dairy, when I am Japanese! But with hard work I earn schorarship you see, so now I'm here. Now I'm student, but I'm pretty much broke. And I have an un-emproyed fiancé and we have rots of birs to pay." He sighed.
Everyone paused, after he didn't act for a good three minutes before the music suddenly came on again. So he started singing. "It sucks to be me. It sucks to be me… I say it suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-suka-sucks! It sucks to be me!"
In some amazement and confusion another pause, but not as long. It was inturupted by another student, a girl looking for her dorm. "Excuse me! I'm looking for my dorm!" She was Puerto Rican, wearing the school uniform but with a red scarf around her neck and a rose in her hair. She carried around a bowl of rice.
"If you need help, I'll get the dorm mother." America said, shouting his head off. "HEY FELIKS, GET OVER HERE!"
"I'm like totally coming, just calm down!" Coming down the stairs was a man-boy… Man boy? Whatever he was, he was dressed in the female uniform even though he was a dorm mother and not an actual student.
"OH MY GOD IT'S A WEIRD HOMOSEXUAL!" The Puerto Rican shouted.
"Hey I'm not weird!" Poland shouted, beginning to sing. "My name is Poland, I'm totally cool you know. I was married to Lithuania until Russia broke us up. So now I'm broke and I'm the butt of everyone's gay jokes, but I'm here, I'm the dorm mother in this dorm."
"IT SUCKS TO BE YOU!" The students shouted.
"You win." Mexico muttered.
"IT SUCKS TO BE YOU!"
"I feel better now." America smiled.
"Try having people stop to ask you "Like OH MY GOD, ARE YOU LIKE, POLAND?!" all day long." Another long pause. "It gets old."
All began to sing in harmony. "It sucks to be you, it sucks to be me, it sucks to be you, but not when we're together. We're together here in Hetalia High School. With our friends too. We all go to this high school."
"Here's your keys." Poland handed the girl her keys.
"Welcome to our high school!"
"What just happened to me?" America asked.
"No clue, you wanna watch TV?" Mexico asked.
"I'll bring snacks." Puerto Rico suggested.
I was running out of words to write, plus you sometimes need filler for certain lines… So I apologize if it sounds somewhat tacky at times. I'm rather proud of this fanfiction myself as it's not only my first, but I'm rapidly becoming a fan of musicals.
Oh yes, and I wrote in Japan's accent, replacing the L's with R's… Just for the record.
