La la la~ New chapter~ La la la la laaa~ Okay, that was random o_O

Germany was used to finding Italy in his bed when he woke up. It was a usual occurance that countinued even after WW2. What he wasn't used to was finding a small Prussian in the bed too.

Italy stirred slightly, which Germany decided to take as a sign that he was waking up (It was usually pretty hard to tell when the Italian was awake or not since he generally had his eyes closed 99% of the time)

"Italy, didn't you say you'd go back to your hotel room? And why is brother...?" Germany asked hesitantly.

The Italian nation seemed to look up at Germany, but again, it was pretty hard to tell.

"Ve...Good morning Germany" Italy yawned and stretched a little "Is something wrong?" He asked sleepily.

"Didn't you say you'd go back to your hotel room?" Germany repeated. He remembered being tired and going to bed, and Italy told him that he was going to play with Prussia (who seemed to of kept his small crush on the Italian) for a little bit and that he'd go back to his room after he put Prussia to sleep.

For once, Germany had trusted Italy with something that didn't involve cooking Italian food. No amount of child care books in the world could tell him how to look after his older brother.

"Hmm? Oh, right!" Italy suddenly looked a lot more serious. "It's weird! I was playing with Prussia, when suddenly there was a really scary feeling in the air!"

"A 'scary feeling'?" Germany briefly wondered what strange Italian thing he would have to deal with now.

"Yeah!" Italy jumped up from the bed (thankfully he was still wearing his clothes from yesterday) and pointed to the door "It was like there was something out there! It felt like a weird mix of saddness and anger and fear and...um...all the bad emotions in the world really!" Italy said firmly. "And it wasn't just me who felt it! Prussia said he could tell it was out there too! He looked scared too at first, but then he said he was going to try and fight it! But I couldn't let him do that, so...so..."

Italy was talking so fast by the end of it that Germany had to stop him. "Now wait, you said that you and Prussia were scared by something out there-"

"Not...scared..." Prussia mumbled in his sleep "Too...awesome..."

"...Anyway, you were scared by something out there, but why did the two of you end up in my bed?"

"Well Prussia wanted to fight the thing, but if something can just feel that scary then it must be much worse to look at! So I picked him up and climbed into your bed" Italy explained "I thought I could watch him to make sure he didn't go. I didn't bring any white flags with me so I thought I could just wake you up if the thing came in here and then you could protect us!" He smiled, a little sheepishly "But then the feeling went away, and we were both tired so we fell asleep instantly! I couldn't even take my clothes off!"

Germany said nothing for a short while, thinking about what the Italian had just told him.

"...Are you sure it wasn't just Russia out there? Or even France?" Germany sighed.

"I'm positive! Because, I..." Italy trailed off.

"Because you what?"

Italy seemed uncertain about whether to continue or not. "Well...I put Prussia in your bed and told him not to go anywhere...And then I opened the door slightly to have a little peek outside...I wanted to see what it was, or if it was dangerous..."

"And?" Germany was starting to get impatient.

"When I opened the door the bad feeling suddenly got much much worse! I even fell down onto my knees! And I looked outside and...I saw a shady person..."

"Shady?" Germany blinked "You mean they were suspicious?"

"No, no! I mean they looked...dark? It was like a shadow, but without a body..." Italy shivered "The shadow person started walking closer, and the closer they got, the worse the feeling was, until eventually they were right in front of me..." His eyes squeezed together tighter, to the point Germany thought they were going to disapear. "It...kneeled down, so that it was at my eye level, and said...'let me in...let me in...give it back'...And then it wasn't a shadow anymore, it was a person, I could see it's face...and..."

The German nation realised he was shaking "And? Wh...what happened, Italy?"

Italy looked at Germany nervously "I screamed and slammed the door shut. Then I jumped into the bed and hugged you and Prussia tightly until the feeling went away" Italy's mood seemed to brighten slightly "You must of been really tired to of slept through all of that, Germany!"

"Y...yeah" Germany looked at Italy confusedly. Why did he seem...happy now? "You...said you could see the shadow's face...um...what did it look like?"

Italy said nothing.

"Er...Italy? Did...did you hear me?" Germany asked worriedly.

"...The corridors weren't lit very well" Italy said quietly "So I saw it wrong. That's right. That must be it"

"Italy?" The Italian was really starting to freak Germany out.

Suddenly Italy smiled happily "Ve~ Don't worry, Germany! I couldn't see it very well, so it looked like P-" he paused "...Someone we both know. But it couldn't be them!"

"But-"

Prussia groaned. "You're both too loud!" He whined.

"Oh! Sorry, Prussia" Italy picked up the smaller nation "But it is time for you to wake up now. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, I am...Make me something, would you?" Prussia said grumpily.

"Wait, Italy!" Germany stood up "That thing you saw yesterday, what-"

"Germany!" Italy's face made it look like he was telling off a young child (which shocked the German more then it should of) "We have a meeting this morning, remember? You should get changed. I'll make breakfast so you can go and get ready"

Germany regarded Italy for a while before speaking "...Fine"

"England! He isn't trying to hurt you!" America tried to pry the smaller British nation away from France before he could do any long term damage.

"Honestly! No matter how old he is, he'll always be a punk!" France said angrily as he examined the cuts on his hands

"Not helping!" America grunted as England started to struggle even harder.

France wasn't listening. "He better not of given me rabies...Well, judging by the stuff he usually eats he'd probably give me something much worse..."

Canada stared at this scene curiously. He then decided that it'd be better to leave them to it, and went off in search for that polar bear thing that had been with him when he had first opened his eyes in that strange room full of the other children and later those weird people who said they were going to look after them. It had followed him and France into the room so it had to be somewhere. What was it's name? Kumakitchi?

"Dammit England! If you don't calm down right now, I swear I'm going to give you another bath!" America shouted. The Brit immediately stopped struggling.

"I wish that normally worked" France smirked. He bent down until he was eye level with England. "Now, Angleterre. I'll forgive you for attacking me, but you need to promise to not do that again. Understand?"

England answered by attempting to bite the French nation's nose. Luckily, America managed to pull away just in time.

"Angleterre!" France said in outrage. "I'm trying to settle this argument like a responsible adult! Stop being so immature!"

"He's not exactly an adult right now..." America smiled as he looked down at the scowling Brit in his arms. "Maybe me and him should go to the meeting. Germany would yell at me even if I was just a minute late!"

France frowned "But...what about that thing from before?"

America winced as he remembered the feelings that had gone through him when that dark thing had been there. "It...it should be gone now" the American said uncertainly.

"We should go together, just to be safe" France ignored England who was shaking his head furiously. "Let me just get...um" his face turned blank "You know...your brother..."

"Oh, right...you mean..." America looked around expectantly. "Hey, France? Where's Canadia?"

Well, at least America sort of remembered his brother XD I think the dark thing is starting to seem pretty creepy XD Please review and tell me what you think ^_^
