Oh Look, a Red-Back Spider.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A flash of blonde hair and brown clothing ran past Australia. The southern nation blinked before turning his head to stare at the man hiding behind his back.

"America, what are you doing?"

America shook his head and clutched Australia's clothes harder, "N-n-n-nothing! The h-hero is ju-just ta-taking a sh-short walk!"

Australia shrugged, "Alrighty then." And he began to walk to the conference room.

"NO!" America shouted.

Green eyes looked at him puzzled, "What? Did I do something wrong?"

"N-no…"

'This must be an American thing!' Australia concluded and continued to walk away.

"W-wait!" America began to pull at Australia's uniform.

"GAO!" The Aussie's trusty koala companion growled at the American and used it claws to cut into skin.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" America screamed, "DROP BEAR!"

"Crikey, America," Australia began, "drop bears don't exist." He turned around to see empty space. "America?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" This time, the scream was higher, "BLOODY HELL!"

Australia ran to the meeting room in alarm–it was England's voice.

Slamming the door to the conference room, Australia yelled, "What's the problem!?"

Something was strange. All the personifications were standing either on a chair or the table, some (like Poland) were curled up in balls and others were looking around like crazy madmen.

"What's going on here?"

"Veee! Australia! Run away!" Italy's muffled voice rang through the room. He was currently sobbing into Germany's shirt.

"Crikey! What's everyone doing?" Australia said in wonder, scratching his head.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! AWAY! AWAY YOU BLOODY BASTARD!" England yelled from his chair, he was holding a pencil in his hand out like a weapon.

"Mum? What are you doing? Are you seeing delusions again?"

"The fairies are not delusions!" England snapped, "And don't call me mum!"

Australia moved calmly towards the former empire, ignoring the cries to run away. Really, he expected to see something horrifying. Like a random heart, or even a cockroach.

But sitting in front of England's hysterical form was a spider. A small red-back spider the size of Australia's pinky.

Turning around, Australia said, "So why are you screaming like ankle-biters?"

"Australia! It's climbing on your foot!" England warned frantically, "Don't move!"

Australia took no notice of England's words, he walked over to the table and took a piece of paper and a glass (most likely Germany's). He slid the paper underneath the spider and covered the arachnid with the glass.

"I got it!" the brunet exclaimed then made a puzzled face, "So why were you mates acting potty? It's not like it was a Funnel Web."

"Dude!" America appeared at the doorway, "It's a SPIDER! It's creepy, crawly, hairy, ugly and POISONOUS! We might be killed!"

"Mate, no one has died from a spider bite in me country since 1979! And around 2000 Aussies are bitten each year!" A grin wormed it's way onto Australia's face, "But I tell you, it bloody hurts!"

"But you've got the deadliest spiders eva!" America argued.

"Mate, you better run or I'll set this pretty Sheila on you."

America wasn't seen for the rest of the day.

YAY! Chapter 2! Quite honestly, no one has died from Spider bites in a long time, and my dad told me this-he's a doctor. People make a really big deal about the Red-Back Spider because the bites are so bloody painful! (Not that I've been bitten,.) Even then, the Red-Back doesn't even eject venom all the time and it's just like a painful bee sting.

Although, I'm not trying to say that all Australians are fearless of spiders, we've just got a heck of a lot that it's like normal to see one. Mate, I killed one in my classroom by just slamming my notebook on it, it's not that hard to kill-it's easier than killing a fly!

Nevermind that, I really need ideas for future chapters, so far I've only got around 25 planned out cuz I'm not sure if other places do things like what we do here. If you have ideas please either review or PM me!

Btw, how does one get a Beta Tester? And how do you like work stuff out with them? Email?
