Most of this is made up. The performance at the Jefferson Memorial however isn't. Though the cast of Hetalia did not watch my performance unfortunately.
Disclaimer-No lo poseo. That's Spanish for "I don't own it."
Chapter 3- A performance, the meeting and debt.
The Axis Powers were woken by the girls in the next room at 7:00 am. This time, music was playing in the room.
"No good deed goes unpunished!"
"Good Lord!" Ludwig grumbled. "Do they ever stop?!"
"That's it, I'm calling the mafia." Lovino mumbled as he sat up.
"I don't think you should get them involved." Kiku said as he slowly rose to his feet. "Besides is it really that bad? I think the song is nice."
The song ended and a new one started.
"'Cuz I like you so much better when you're naked!"
Kiku blinked in confusion. "Ok, it's pretty bad actually."
"What the eff are they listening too?" Lovino looked at the wall separating the rooms suspiciously.
"Who knows?" Ludwig stretched and got out of bed. "Well, we're up now. Might as well get ready early."
"No way." Lovino lay back down.
Feliciano snored in agreement.
"If you get up now you'll be first in line for breakfast." Ludwig said.
The Vargas brothers almost got up but then hesitated.
"What do we like better: To sleep or to eat?" Lovino asked his brother.
Feliciano thought about it. "Ahhh! I can't decide! My brain hurts!" he clutched his head in agony.
"Mine too!" Lovino copied his action.
Ludwig chuckled. For some reason he found the brothers' ordeal quite funny.
Kiku shook his head. "Westerners are strange."
XxxxxxXxxxxxX
The Vargas brothers eventually decided to get up. The Axis Powers got their breakfast from the buffet and sat at the first table they saw. They were later joined by Ivan, Raivis, Eduard and Gilbert.
The Axis Powers weren't the only ones who had trouble falling asleep. Ivan looked terrible (1). His hair was messed up, his face looked dry and red and his eyes looked frozen with shock. Gilbert however looked pleased with himself. Raivis and Eduard looked at him with admiration.
"What happened to you?" asked Ludwig as he sat down next to him.
"The second I opened the door to the room, Gilbert picked up a pillow from one of the beds, grabbed the hairdryer from the bathroom, threw the pillow at me, held me down with his foot and blew the heat in my face shouting "Russia's too cold! You need to warm up!" (2) He did this for about ten minutes. When I finally managed to shove him off me I couldn't stop shaking."
Raivis gave him a look that plainly said "Now you know what it feels like."
Ivan glared back at him.
Raivis squealed and started shaking.
"Anyway, to make a long story short, I barely got any sleep. You?"
"Four teenage girls were in the room next to us."
Ivan raised his glass of orange juice. "Enough said."
"East, why did you do that?" Ludwig asked Gilbert.
Gilbert smiled. "'Cuz I wanted to."
"GOOOOOOOD MORNING!" Alfred said loudly as he stood on his chair. "CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?!"
Arthur groaned. "How many cups of coffee have you had?"
"Three!" Alfred said, holding up five fingers. (3) "I decided to cut back. So before our meeting there's one last memorial you all haven't seen yet: The Jefferson Memorial. Yes, Thomas Jefferson, who was the 2nd president of The United States of America."
"3rd." Arthur pointed out. "It's really disturbing that I know more about your country's history than you do…"
After breakfast the nations headed back to the buses and arrived at the Jefferson Memorial. They looked at the impressive structure for a while, and then noticed a strange sight.
To the side of the memorial there were many high school students. They were setting up music stands and chairs. A large number of them had instruments. Others had on purple and gold choral robes with the letters OBHS inscribed on the bib. Some had both.
"I recognize that insignia and those colors," Arthur said. "These children are from Oyster Bay High School! Mr. Sisia teaches there."
"What a small audience they have," Francis remarked. "Only six people." (4)
"It's a good thing the hero is here to save the day!" Alfred pointed his finger in the air heroically. "Let's all go over there and be their audience!"
The nations were planning on it anyway so they headed over and enjoyed the show. Alfred sang along with the chorus during the "America, my country" medley. Once the show was over Arthur walked over to the band conductor, waving. "Hello Matthew, good to see you again ol' chap! How's your wife? "
They talked for a little while. The other nations complimented the band and chorus members.
"Come on everyone!" Alfred motioned to the buses. "It's time for our meeting!"
Everyone got back on the buses and headed off to…
XxxxxxXxxxxxX
… The National Air and Space museum. One room had been cleared out for the meeting.
"You know, the Russians launched the first satellite." Ivan pointed out.
"Yes, but the Americans sent a man to the moon first." Alfred replied.
The two glared at each other while smiling.
The meeting was normal: Alfred suggested something stupid to solve the world's problems; Arthur yelled at him for not suggesting something normal; Ludwig yelled at both them for not taking the situation seriously; Gilbert did not help the situation as he insulted all three nations; Yao and Kiku grew tired of their bickering and ate snacks they had brought on the trip; Yong Soo, Hong Kong and Taiwan joined them, Yong Soo claiming every candy was invented in Korea; Francis made passes at everyone while arguing with Arthur and Alfred; Feliks and Toris listened to music on Feliks's iPod; Ivan sat quietly, smiling at Raivis the way a viper smiles at a mouse; Raivis shook with fear and looked to be on the verge of tears; luckily Eduard sat next to him, giving Ivan a "don't even think about it" look; Natalia also sat quietly, thinking of ways to convince Ivan to marry her (most of them involving knives); Australia chatted with Tino and Berwald; Norway and Denmark argued about some trivial thing; Vash and Liechtenstein took turns playing Vash's Gameboy (Pokémon); Gupta and Sadiq played the "would you rather…" game; Belgium, Seychelles, and Ukraine discussed which male nations they thought were hot; Iceland and Peter colored pictures in Peter's coloring book; Elizaveta and Roderich discussed books they had read; Cuba and Canada looked out the window and tried to find pictures in the clouds; Feliciano, Lovino and Heracles napped; Antonio watched Lovino, thinking about how cute he looked when he slept; and Thailand sighed and wondered why he didn't just stay home and pretend he was sick instead of having to deal with these crazy people.
After an hour and a half of this the nations realized that they weren't getting anything done. So they got serious and discussed different ways to solve the problem. They actually managed to find a workable solution.
When the meeting was over the nations had lunch…
"PAAAAAAAAASSSSTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAA!"
….and headed back on the bus for yet another tour. The next stop was the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. A tour guide showed them around. There were many beautiful works of art. However, the nations began to notice a pattern…
"And this statue was given to us by France…and this painting from Switzerland…and this curtain from Japan…"
"Is there no artwork here from America aru?" Yao asked.
"No; the building was built on American soil but no artwork was given by American artists."
"Hey Alfred; we gave you all these great gifts…did you ever thank us?" asked Vash. (5)
"Uh, I'm sure I did, didn't I?" Alfred said. "Well it can't hurt to say it again: Thank you so much!"
"Not good enough." Arthur said. "Alfred always acts like such a prick," he thought. "Now's my chance to get back at him!" "But don't worry; I'm sure you'll think of some way to pay us back."
"I have an idea…" said Francis, eyeing Alfred suspiciously.
"I think we have the same idea in mind." said Ivan as he eyed Alfred as well.
"Same!" said Gilbert grinning evilly.
Alfred chuckled nervously and backed away from the three sexual predators…I mean nations!
Arthur shook his head and sighed. "And I call these people my allies."
"Er, ok we have to move on now." Alfred said, hiding behind Yao.
"Why me aru?"
"After dinner we'll listen to the Marine Band play. And I promise all of you that I'll find a way to thank you for the gifts. Really I will. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!" Alfred clutched Yao's shoulders and crouched down. Francis, Ivan and Gilbert continued to stare at him, grinning in a way that would make a yaoi fangirl squeal. (As a matter of fact I think I will. SQUEEEEE!)
"That hurts aru! Let go aru!" Yao shoved Alfred off, with some difficulty.
Alfred held up his hands defensively. "Give me some time ok?! Scouts honor."
"Yao, I wonder if you wouldn't mind switching beds?" Francis asked Yao
Yao grinned mischievously. "Not at all aru." He wanted to get back at Alfred too.
"Are you fine with that Arthur?"
Alfred turning to Arthur, looking desperate.
Arthur shrugged. "I don't mind. Yao probably doesn't hug the covers like some people."
"Uh, don't I get a say in this?" Alfred asked.
"3 against 1~." Francis said.
Alfred shivered. "I'm not going to sleep well tonight…" he said to himself.
XxxxxXxxxxX
What sort of insanity awaits our characters next time? Oh you have NO idea!
For the record I don't dislike Alfred. It's just fun to torture people! XD
(1)LOLZ IVAN THE TERRIBLE!! =D I didn't notice the pun until I wrote it!
(2)This is another made up part of the story. And no I do not know where these random ideas come from. They just pop into my head.
(3)Coffee reduces your math abilities apparently.
(4)I'm not kidding. Our audience was composed of only six people.
(5)This was what I was thinking during the tour. This is also the moment I was inspired to write this story.
