Sorry I haven't posted yet guys! All that matters is I get ONE right now, so let's go! Oh yeah, I still own nothing but my OCs!

Japan woke up in a strange room. No wait-it was just the library. He sat up, dizzy. His pain was bearable, somehow, but his entire body was still throbbing. Japan's mouth felt like a desert, so he looked around for his bag. When he found it, he took out one of the "beer" bottles and chugged it down, no longer caring about color.

His throat was now less dry, but he still felt thirsty. And hungry. Would onigiri do him any good? It was worth a shot. He ate two of the rice balls slowly, trying not to aggravate his stomach in any way. When he was through eating, he thought of Prussia. No longer caring about his headache, Japan stood up in a hurry and was ready to tear through the house to find his friend.

He was relieved that he didn't have to; Prussia was on the table. He looked as though he was still unconscious, but he was definitely alive. Japan sighed in relief and decided he should look the room over yet again.

Japan jerked his head up immediately when he heard a groan.

"Welcome to the House of Bedrooms, where you pass out and wake up not in a bedroom but a library," Japan called, closing the book he'd been reading. Geez, is England-san's sarcasm cursing me in this place? Japan wondered.

"Huh? Japna, th'ta ya?" Prussia asked, holding his head. "Und hwo did I get n' a tblea?" Perhaps an onigiri will help him recover his speech…

"I'm not sure," Japan answered, walking over and digging out a rice ball. "But try eating this, your speech right now is atrocious," he added, holding it out.

Prussia looked at the food and his eyes got wide. He snatched it and ate quickly. "Mm… Tastes good… But how'd ya find food in this place?" Prussia asked.

"Er… I'll explain later." He didn't think he'd be seen as sane anymore if he said there was a magical toilet in this house. Prussia nodded, slinging his legs over the side of the table.

"So, we have… what to do again?" Japan frowned. "Er… If I remember correctly, we need to bring food for Germany-san so he can rescue a mochi," he said. "But my memory is a bit scrambled after that last fight."

Prussia nodded and jumped off the table, saying, "Ja, mine, too. Do you think It did some sort of permanent damage with that electricity?" Japan was about to answer back with "what else could have happened" when something flashed through his mind:

Some figure, almost child-like, flinching back as if he were afraid of being hit or yelled at.

Japan frowned. That… What was that? he wondered. "Hallo, Earth to Japan?"

"Er, s-sure," Japan said, face heating up slightly. He noticed Prussia's frown, but he turned and said, "L-let's go get Germany-san." "Ja… Let's."

Prussia followed Japan to the room, but only because he wanted to find his brother. Prussia was usually a loud troublemaker, but now he felt more like Japan was supposed to be: reserved, unreadable, and thoughtful. He'd seen a number of things to throw off his trust for the Japanese Nation today, and he doubted he'd seen the last in the library.

Prussia thought he was going crazy when he spotted a metal door in the room Japan walked into. But when he saw that Japan looked just as lost, staring at the door as well. Japan eventually walked up to it and knocked.

"Er… Germany-san, are you still in there?" he called. There's no way West is in there… Prussia thought. They hadn't quite noticed until now, but when it stopped, they realized there had been a slight banging sound.

"What? Oh, ja…" Germany called.

"West!" he shouted, trying to sound only surprised; after all, worry and relief were unawesome.

"Brüder!?" Germany shouted. A moment later, Germany appeared as he lifted the door up and stepped out, letting it fall to the ground. "Y-you're safe! Thank Gott…" he said.

"Of course, I'm too awesome to be hurt!" Though my body does feel like a bag of beaten-up shiva… He saw Japan giving him a bit of a look, which he chose to ignore. "Japan here said you were hungry. D'you want some mushrooms?" he asked, pulling out the mushrooms. They now looked kind of like mashed potatoes with the skin mixed in.

"Er… Nein, I think I lost my appetite," Germany said, grimacing a little. Prussia shrugged, putting them back in his pocket. "Now, let's go!"

"Um, go?"

"The mochi! Japan said he asked you to help it," Prussia said. Was his brother acting strange, too? No, Japan must've lied to him. Prussia refused to doubt his little brother!

"Oh… Right." But, he had no other choice. "Well, I suppose we should," Germany said hesitantly. "Then off to the fourth floor! Follow the sound of my awesome voice! Oooooooooooh, we're off to see the mochi…!" Germany sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He started after his copyright-infringing older brother, muttering about not being a child anymore.

Japan couldn't help but chuckle at them, only to have his smile fade when he thought, I wish China-san would've been a little more like Prussia-san… Not so strict and always forcing paper at me to write this or draw that… The island nation shook his head, looking at the door again.

How did Germany-san get this up so fast? Or were we out for a long time? … What was he doing in there, anyway? His hand was just touching the bottom of the door when Germany called, "Japan, are you coming?" He jumped, pulling away from the door. "H-hai!" he answered simply. He gave the door one last glance before closing the door.

And there we have it! There are officially fourteen chapter in this story, yays! I also would like to apologize for Prussia's random moment of The Wizard of Oz. He's a bit, ah… *COUGHCRAZYCOUGH*

Prussia: I know what you said and I awesomely deny it!

Didn't ask you, Prussia. So, what do you think? Gimme something here people, I've got one constant reviewer and only a few others besides. HOW AM I DOING I NEED TO KNOW! Well, see you tomorrow guys. Bye~~!
