Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia

Really sorry about not updating in a month (between school, my parents and my other stories, and running through the preplanned chapters for this story I have been busy). Hopefully it won't happen again. The kids are now roughly 21 years old and look 9ish.

Chapter 25: Vietnam

Vietnam's POV

I sighed, finally done with today's work. Outside I could hear Bao, my and Tailand's son from all those short years ago, laughing with his father who was in the middle of washing his elephant. Soon after this, I broke into a coughing fit and reached for the medicine China gave me. Several minutes after taking the medicine, the coughing fit subsided but I did not fell too much better.

I slumped in my seat, focusing on trying to catch my breath. These fits had been becoming more frequent and painful, which was starting to make me worry. I still remembered that Japan coughed quite a bit before his death, and then there was England who slipped into a coma due to his coughing. Was this really how I was going to die?

Soon after the coughing fit began, Thailand and Bao entered the room and asked if I was alright. Thailand then began trying to relieve some of the pain as I caught my breath. After I recovered from this, Thailand then said, "Why don't you go lay down for a while and rest. Bao and I will finish with Toto then make dinner."

"It's alright Thai, I don't need to rest. I feel better already," I said trying to sound convincing. He did not buy it however and had Bao make sure I went up to my room and rest. When we reached the room, he smiled up at me and asked if after dinner I wanted to play video games with me. He had his father's smile and to me was the most perfect little boy in the world.

I told him yes, and watched as he rushed back to Thailand to help him. Now alone again, I felt the urge to play a video game. So I sat down on my bed and began to play one of my favorite games when I thought I heard someone call out to me. I looked alone to see that I was still alone, which began to confuse me.

Assuming that I had heard one of the boys, I tried to stand up and check on them; only to suddenly feel dizzy and tired. I knew something was most likely wrong, so I called out, "Thai!"

I then tried to sit back down, only to have the world turn blank.

The next thing I knew, I was looking at my body laying lifeless on my sprawled across my floor and bed. A few moments later, Thailand and Bao rushed into my room and saw me. Thailand began to check my vitals while yelling at Bao to get him a phone. He left for a few moments and returned to find his father sitting numb by me, not finding any sign of life.

I then decided to call out to them, but before I could I heard someone else call out to me from behind. When I turned around to see who it was, I noticed that I was no longer in my room, but in a field with a small town in the distance.

Again I heard someone call out for me, this time from the village, so I walked towards it to see who it was; never to return to my room.
