Il Gran Carnevale di Venezia con noi Insieme (The Great Carnival of Venice with Us Together!)
I can't believe we all actually did it last night, we all got to stay up the night and none of us slept...well, we all tried but at least the good side of this is that we all tried. But after that, we ended up sleeping for nearly the day again, now it's Tuesday. Since we all got our sleeping times figured out, we were all able to sleep without sleepwalking. Today I'm in my small white kitchen, making Germany and I some breakfast, I hope he doesn't mind wurst with scrambled eggs. I heard the sparks of the pan as I cooked the eggs yolk in the dark metal pan. I never cooked eggs before and beside the counter near me is a cooking book that I really hope will help me out making this special breakfast for him. Although, I never cooked anything like this...as I used my spatula to scramble the egg yolk, I heard footsteps walking inside the kitchen. When I looked over my shoulder, I saw Germany first looking at me with his blue eyes and then he looks at my pan, so I looked down to see it burning in black sludge.
"Maybe I should cook...?"
"No!" I protest with my hand rose up so he won't get near the kitchen. "I'll cook, I'm better than my brothers, trust me!" That last one was a lie; I can't cook for some odd reason. I guess it's because I started out late and didn't think about cooking for a special occasion.
Germany looks at the pot near me, he runs to me and takes me far away from the pot that suddenly boiled over and fell on the ground! How could this happen? I was reading the book the time, and I was doing so well...
"Maybe you should take over, Germany..." I admit to him, feeling depressed that I failed cooking in front of him.
Germany walks around me and I was about to walk out of the kitchen when I felt a hand placed on my shoulder, I looked over and I saw Germany with a serious face like he always has.
"You can help, Fiorenza," he said to me and smiles to me.
His smile wasn't faked nor was it too cheery for him, but I smiled brightly to him and we ended up cooking breakfast together.
…
This is very good! Germany helped me cook breakfast and it tasted great, but it was obvious that when Germany cooked with me, he kept everything cleaned after eating. I washed the dishes in the hot, bubbly water with a green loaf scrubbing the plates. Germany dries with the kitchen towel and I can see sweat coming from his forehead as he dried all the plates that sparkled. After a few minutes, we organized the cabinets with the plates placed correctly and we were finished without a hitch.
"Thanks for making the food, Germany," I thanked him, glancing over to him and he glanced at me with his blue eyes.
"You helped also, Fiorenza," he said to me, smirking at me a little. "I just helped teaching you how to scramble eggs and make wurst correctly. But I just never knew that you can't cook."
I lowered my head in shame, I do admit that I can't really cook well and Germany was good enough to tell me that.
"W-well, you are good at making coffee," he tells me and I glanced over to him again while cleaning a soapy glass cup in my hand. "Maybe you can teach me how to make espresso and caporichos and-!"
"It's cappuccino…" I corrected him, dipping the glass cup in the hot water.
Germany blush a little when I corrected him; he looks away and carries on drying the last white plate. I finished washing the cup and passed it to Germany, but when he grabbed it, I realized the soapy water wasn't fully washed away and his fingers slip to have it fall into the sink with a loud crash. Germany let his hands down and starts picking up the piece when I looked down in the sink to see his finger cut from the sharp edge. So, I took his hand and examined the cut, it bled down his finger to his hand as it drips a little off in scarlet red.
"I-it's fine, Fio-!"But then I took his finger and put it in my mouth, sucking the blood from his small wound.
His blood tastes sweet, but it'll soon leave a bad taste in my mouth when his cut's gone. When I pulled his hand away, I saw the cut no longer bleeding and I smiled to him brightly. I saw Germany's face growing redder and redder; I think he's getting a fever so I placed my hand on his forehead to see if he does have one. He feels a little warm and out of nowhere, his whole body slumps backwards to the ground, laying there as if he's dead.

"Hayley...can I ask you about your sister?" America asked me before I ate my spoonful of chocolate gelato.
America and I decided to go and eat some gelato with Lunaria and Turkey who looked at me. We all sat in a circle, I felt a little annoyed that he asked me something personal as that in the table in front of our friends. But I decided to let him know how my super popular sister is to everyone.
"Well, my sister's name is Hermione," I said to him and everyone brought their heads closer to hear my voice...am I speaking quietly? "She's in boarding school right now for the summer, and so far she wants to become a doctor..."
"Really?" America said. "That sounds interesting!" America, if you met my sister, I can tell that you two would become a good couple...
We all kept eating our gelato, not talking much to each other after talking about my 'precious' sister like she was a celebrity that everyone would want to know and talk about. But then, America pokes my arm and when I turned my head to him, he asks me why don't I ever talk about my sister...If I want to talk about her, I'll let you know when I want to. Which happens to be never. But I said to him with a fake smile that the reason I don't really talk about her is that we're both not close since we're going in different schools. We all heard the doors open with a ring of the bell and turned to see Erin and Japan walking together with Kanaria and Greece.
"What's up?" We all said besides Turkey who glared at Greece dangerously.
"Nothing much," Erin said. "Japan and I were shopping for new DVDs and passed Kanaria and Greece together. So we all decided to eat something, and what better ways to eat than eat some good ice cream on a hot, summer day?"
Kanaria looks over to her. "That's a very good idea," Kanaria said with a smile. "If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here to eat some ice cream now."
Greece and Turkey still held their angry looks at each other; I never knew why they've been always fighting because I never paid any close attention to history. And I truly hope I never have to, since I one time got into an argument with my history teacher that it's true that Sealand is a nation declared at the end of the British war. We all made room for them to sit, I got more chairs and it start to crowd up the table a little, and no surprise that Turkey and Greece sat together.
"So, what're you guys talking about before we came here?" Kanaria asked.
"We were just talking about Hayley's sister, Hermione,"
"Wait; would it be by chance Hermione Granger?" Erin asked and I nodded my head to her. "Hey, I got to school with her! She's so amazing, she has the top grades all the time, she gets asked out all the time and she's the captain of the school squads. She even won an award for five-year's best student!"
Everyone was obviously impressed, who wouldn't be impressed by Hermione? She's beautiful, popular, and intelligent and everything my parents always wanted for a daughter. But for me, I'm nothing compared to her and I just wished that I was just invisible until I left home just to go here in Venice. I got up suddenly, everyone looked up confusingly and I told them I had to go and do some work in the shop and I left in a hurry in the changing rooms.

Today is oddly a hot day, I've been working in the museum for nearly the whole morning just to help the others polish the Great Bell of Venice before this weeks' Carnival of Venice. I walked down the busy sidewalk filled with people scattering around the way like ants, I feel so hot and I let my pink tongue out just to show how hot I am. But then, from the corner of my eye, I saw a gelato shop where two people went out the door and the air condition blew out to tickle my round, sweaty face. I marched into the gelato shop and felt the cold air tickle my whole sweaty body, I felt so free and much better.
"Grandpa Filipo?" I heard a chorus of voices say my name, I looked over and from the corner of the tiny shop, I saw Kanaria and all of her new friends here today. How delightful!
I waved to them and walked over to those kids, I wonder why they'd be here besides eating ice cream and enjoying this air conditioner?
"How are you kids?" I asked them all with a wide smile. "It's been too long since we all seen each other, how's Venice for all of you boys?"
"It's super amazing!" America declared loudly with a grin. "But...I have one question," he said to me and I raised an eyebrow with my light blue eyes. "Is there more to the bell than you're telling us? I would like to know more about it since it seems so interesting." Then everyone turned their heads to me and I sweat a little more anxiously.
"All right, kids," I told them, pulling a chair behind me and sat on it in front of everyone as they looked at me with eager faces. "It all started many years ago, way before your mothers were even born. During the time, a man who doesn't have a name had an affair. With a woman, a woman who was called Fiorenza-"
"Hey, that's just like Fio!" Hayley interupt me, she takes a seat and I see her wearing only a white apron on.
I cleared my voice. "Anyway, Fiorenza was one of the other most highest council members of Venice years ago. She was due to marry one of the sons, but she fell in love with a man who was never supposed to fall in love with her. You know the bell tower happens to actually be the spot where they would come every three o'clock to meet each other. But then one day, Fiorenza went to the bell tower and she accidentally tripped at the top edge to fall all the way down and plummet to the ground.
"The man was devastated, of course. But instead of committing suicide, he decided to create a large bell in the museum under his lover's request that she said and I quote: 'I would love to hear the bells ring every day until night.'"
"But what happens next?" someone asked from behind. I looked over and I see Hong Kong with a girl with shoulder-length brown-black hair in two pigtails with gold-colored pigtails, dark brown eyes and a coffee-colored complexion. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Aliyah," she introduced herself to me. "Please continue..."
I cleared my voice again. "So, one night, he prayed to the gods to have over one hundred angels to come to his side and create the bell. Once they were finished, he declares it as 'The Arts of the Angels and the Full Moon' because it was finished during the full moon. He was going to ring it, but then it was suddenly announced from the gods that he cursed the bell. Now, this man lives as an immortal person and is doomed to forever live because of his sin of having an affair with another woman.
"Some people say that he could be over millions of years old, but no one ever-"
"I'm bored now, let's eat more gelato ice cream!" Hayley declared before I could finish my sentence. Then I heard the doors open from behind and when I looked over to see who it was, it was China and Nicole with large bags filled with dolls of Hello Kitties and cheeky smiles that grew wider...it's an improvement for Hello Kitty products. I sighed to myself, it looks like I don't get respect from my friends...

Me and Germany stayed in the apartment still, we didn't really want to leave and it was actually a hot day that I decided we should stay in my room since it has good air condition. We had nothing to talk about, so I decided to play a game with him known as truth or dare in my room along with Veni. We both sat on my bed, Veni is on the ground, playing with a ball of yarn and I looked at him with a grin.
"Okay, Germany," I said to him with a grin. "Truth or dare?"
"I don't really care," he said to me. "I'm older than you, and you're younger than me so...I should be the one who asks you. So, I'll ask you something, truth or dare?"
I can't believe that he said that! I groan a little but then I asked him if I could have a truth question, he asks me then if I can cook anything that won't go burnt or ruined. I told him that the only thing I can cook is pasta, nothing else because I never was taught to learn how to cook other nation's food when I took cooking class as a child. We both remained silent, I think this isn't a very good idea to play this game so...I decided to pick up Veni as he plays with the yellow ball twined with yarn. Then, I suddenly felt a hand placed on my shoulder and I looked over to see Germany's face go close to my neck and looks at it as I blushed pure red in shock.
"Where did you get that hole?" he asked me, he moves his face away and I touched my skin to feel a small hole on my neck. I shrugged in confusion and we have no idea how that go there.
To be continued...
Me: Well, I have finally decided what I'm going to do in my dedicated life as a Hetalia fan...
