The world meeting had just finished, and most of the other nations had already left the room. Only a few nations were hanging around, chatting with each other or just trying to gather up their things.
"Germany, Germany!" Italy said cheerfully, skipping over to the other nation, who was putting away his papers in his briefcase.
"Ja, Italy?" Germany asked with a tired sigh.
"We should take a vacation!" Italy said with a grin.
"A vacation?" Germany asked, looking up from his briefcase and giving Italy a thoughtful look.
"Yeah! It would be nice!" Italy said, bouncing up and down with excitement. "We've been working so hard lately, and everyone is so stressed these days! We should go somewhere fun and take a break!"
"I agree with Italy." Japan added, walking up from behind Germany. "It has been a long time since we have taken a break. It would be a great change of pace."
"I guess." Germany said with a nod. "Alright, I could use a break, and I am all caught up with my work at the moment. Where should we go?"
"We should go somewhere sunny!" Italy suggested.
"Somewhere with enough activities to keep us busy." Germany added.
"Maybe a place that we haven't visited in a while." Japan proposed.
"That knocks out Europe and our places." Germany said with a frown. "Maybe we should visit the America's? We don't go there much unless we're going to meetings."
"I agree." Japan said with a nod. "In fact, there is somewhere I've been wanting to go."
"Where's that?" Germany asked.
"I wanted to go to Disney World." Japan said.
"DID SOMEONE SAY DISNEY WORLD?!" America yelled excitedly, seemingly popping out of thin air behind Japan. Italy shrieked in surprise and hid behind Germany.
"America, where did you come from?" Germany asked.
"Oh, I was just nearby." America answered with a shrug. "So, I hear you want to go to Disney World?"
"Yes." Japan said, giving America a nod. "It has been years since I've gone, and I've heard that the park has changed quite a bit since the park opened."
America's face split into a wide grin, and he seemed to vibrate with excitement. "Dude, you have no idea! So many new rides have been added, it's even cooler than before! You guys will love it! Have you gone on space mountain? I mean, I know you have a Disney land and space mountain at your place Japan, but the one at Disney World was the first one! And I think Italy would like it's a small world! Germany would like the haunted mansion I think, but I don't know. Oh my god, you guy's need to visit Tomorrowland! That's my favorite part of the park!"
"America, please breath." Japan chuckled. Italy giggled, coming out from behind Germany. Even Germany looked amused at America's excitement.
"Oh, sorry." America said, blushing slightly. "I just really love Disney."
"I've never been to Disney World." Germany said. America gasped, and stared at Germany in disbelief.
"Dude! How could you not visit it?! It's the most visited amusement park in the world!" America asked in horror. "It's not like you have an excuse like Russia, because when the parks were opened the cold war was in full swing. Dude, have you visited any of the Disney parks?"
"I've visited the one in Japan." Germany said.
"Only one? You poor thing! You know what, I'm going to pay for your vacation." America said, making the others stare at him in surprise.
"There's no need-" Germany started to say, but America cut him off.
"Nope, I'll do everything for you." America said with increasing excitement. "And I'll invite a bunch of other nations as well! God knows that we all need a vacation. Hell, the last few vacations I took caused me more stress than working! I'll have to invite Russia, because he's never been to the parks because I banned him out of spite during the cold war, so I'll have to lift that, and I know the Nordics wanted to visit the park and…"
"America, you are getting off topic." Japan said. Startled, America blushed again. "Sorry, I tend to do that."
"It's fine!" Italy said cheerfully. "I'd love to go to Disney World!"
"Ok, I'll set up everything!" America said, getting excited again. "Send me all your schedules and I'll pick out a few days where we can get together. I'll also pay for the hotels because they are expensive as hell, and I want you guys to have a good time. I'll send you the details, I got to make a few calls! Email me, bye!" America said in one breath, and with that, he ran out of the meeting room like a man on a mission.
"Is he always like this when someone mentions Disney?" Germany asked in amazement.
"Yes, he was this excited the whole time he was helping me build the Disney park at my place." Japan said with a smirk.
"That must have been exhausting." Germany said.
"I wonder how many people he's going to invite?" Italy wondered.
_LineBreak_
As it turned out, America invited sixteen other nations. In total, there was twenty of them. America had held his promise, and he had paid for everything. The airplane tickets, the hotels, the park tickets, everything. And to Russia's surprise, he had even lifted the ban keeping him out of the park. So, when they rolled up to the entrance to the park, everyone was excited. But no one was as excited as America. He looked like a kid on a sugar high, and he was bouncing up and down out of excitement. He kept laughing at random times, and his eyes were shining with childish glee. His smile was absolutely blinding. He was gushing out fun facts about the park a mile a minute.
"And the haunted mansion is so cool! Did you know that many of the ghosts in the haunted house are based off of real ghost stories! And that people spread their dead relative's ashes at the ride every year?" America gushed, skipping towards the entrance of the park.
"What?!" Italy said, turning pale. "That's disgusting!"
"Sure, yeah that's gross, but just think, there could be real ghosts in the haunted mansion now!" America said with glee.
"I thought you hated ghosts?" Denmark asked with a frown, following America.
"Well, yeah, but that's kind of the whole point of the ride. Plus, who wouldn't want to be a ghost here?" America said with a shrug.
"I couldn't stand being here for the rest of my undead life." England sniffed. "Imagine listening to bratty children crying for decades on end."
"Don't be a party pooper." America said, sticking his tongue out at the Englishman.
"So, this is what a Disney park looks like." Russia said, looking around with a small smile. "It is just as childish as I thought."
"Yep." America said, grabbing Russia's arm and dragging him to the ticket booth. "I already cleared us through earlier today, so if you just tell them your names, they'll search your bags really quick to make sure that you didn't bring anything not allowed in the park, and we can go in." Then he glanced back at the others suspiciously. "You did leave all your weapons behind, right?"
"Of course." Russia scoffed. "We are here to have fun, not get into fights."
The others muttered in agreement. Satisfied, America let go of Russia and turned around to talk to the people at the gates. Russia hurriedly took out his pipe and hid it in a nearby bush. They all went over to the gates, and after getting their bags checked, they were allowed into the park. That was, everyone except Japan, who was arguing with the man who was checking his bag.
"Sir, I'm afraid that you can't take this into the park!" The man said firmly, holding up Japan's selfie stick. "I'm afraid that I'm going to have to hold on to this."
"What?" Japan asked angerly. "Why would you ban those from the park?"
"Sir, this is just my job." The man sighed.
"Japan, it's ok." America said, walking over to Japan and patting the smaller man on the back. "You'll get it back after we leave."
"But-" Japan started to say, but America pushed Japan through the gates, giving him an apologetic smile.
"Hey dude, I'll make it up to you." America said. "Why don't I take you on a personal tour of the park?"
"That would be fine." Japan said, perking up a little.
"Great! Oh, I hope you don't mind, but Russia is going to join us as well." America said with a grin, pulling Japan over to where said Russian was standing. Japan narrowed his eyes at the Russian. "He's never been to a Disney park so he asked me to show him around. I hope you don't mind."
"No, I do not mind." Japan said. "Thank you for the tour."
"Oh, is Japan joining us?" Russia asked, giving Japan a cold smile. "I thought it was just going to be us."
"Oh, you don't mind, do you?" America asked, looking worried. Russia shook his head.
"No, of course not. The more the merrier." Russia said, glaring at Japan, who glared right back.
"Great." America said, clapping his hands excitedly, not noticing the tension between the two nations next to him. "Where should we go first? I was thinking that we could go to Tomorrowland, but it's been a while since I've looked around, and there are so many places I want to check out! What do you guys think?"
"I think we should go to space mountain." Russia suggested.
"I would like to see the Buzz light year Space Ranger spin." Japan offered.
"That is a child's ride, is in not?" Russia commented lightly. Japan shot the taller nation a glare.
"If you have forgotten, Russia, most of the rides here are for children." Japan said evenly.
"Sure, but adults can enjoy them as well." America pointed out with a smile. "My personal favorite ride is in Tomorrowland in fact."
"Oh, and which one would that be?" Russia asked curiously.
"It's a secret for now." America said with a wink. Then looking around, he frowned. "Hey, everyone else is already gone. Come on you slow pokes," America said grabbing the other two nations and pulling them along with a goofy grin on his face. "times a ticking and I want to get on some rides!"
"Of course." Japan said, glaring at Russia menacingly. "We will have a fun time."
"Yes, we will have lots of fun with our friends." Russia said, his aura surrounding him.
"I'm so glad you guys think that." America said happily, not realizing a silent war was happening behind him. "So, which ride should we go on first?"
_LineBreak_
"How about we go into the Haunted Mansion?" Germany suggested, pointing towards the attraction in question. He, Romano, and Italy had ended up in a group, and they had ended up in an area of the Magic Kingdom called Liberty Square.
"What?! No way!" Italy said, turning pale. "Didn't you hear what America said earlier today? He said that people spread real dead people ashes in there! That's gross!"
"I'm sure he was just messing around with us." Germany scoffed.
"No, it's true." Romano said causally, holding up his phone. "I just googled it."
"See!" Italy said, pointing at his brother with a fearful face. "Real dead people!"
"But it also says that the park really doesn't like it when people do that, and they make sure to vacuum up any and all remains" Romano continued.
"Listen Italy, I didn't come all the way here just not to go on one of the most popular attractions in the park." Germany huffed, folding his arms.
"But, dead people!" Italy tried again, only for his brother to roll his eyes.
"We have been alive for how long? A little bit of powdered people shouldn't have you so squeamish." Romano said, dragging his brother over to the line to get into the ride.
For a few minutes they stood in line, and surprisingly, they were making good time. After fifteen minutes they were nearly at the entrance.
"Did you know that the Haunted Mansion was one of the original attractions when they first opened the park?" Germany asked, reading a small pamphlet he had picked up at the front of the line.
"Wow, truly exciting." Romano said sarcastically. "Next you'll be telling us that it can tap dance too."
"You could try to be more impressed." Germany said with a frown. "I heard that this ride has quite a bit of work put into it."
"I wonder why the lines seem shorter than usual?" Italy wondered, looking around them.
"I heard America say that while the beginning of April is busy for him, the later parts of the month die down a little due to schools still being in." Germany said with a shrug.
"That's lucky for us." Romano commented. "Nothing worse than a bunch of small brats messing up the whole ride."
Before Germany could reply, they were waved into the ride. As they walked into the building, they noticed right away that the ride was well done on the inside, making the building look like it was the inside of a real mansion. They were waved into a room that had a very high ceiling and paintings on the walls. As the door closed behind them, a voice spoke up from above their heads, making Italy jump.
"Oh, that's interesting." Italy said with a chuckle as the narrator continued speaking.
Suddenly, the walls started to rise around them, making them look around. The narrator spoke to the people in the room, mentioning that the room had no windows or doors, and there was no way out. Then the ceiling flashed, and they saw a guy hanging from the roof. The narrator let out an evil laugh.
"Jeez, that guy has a dark sense of humor." Romano commented.
Then, the lights went out, and there was a whistling noise, then a crash. Then the lights came back on. After that, they were led out of the room, and to the ride itself. After they got onto the ride, they went down a track, where they saw all sorts of cool things. Head busts turning to watch them, stair cases with mysterious glowing footsteps, and eyes watching them from the walls.
"This is pretty neat!" Italy commented. "I wonder how they managed to do this?"
"Lots of animatronics, and tricks." Germany said, amused by the doors rattling on the walls next to him. "I wonder if America knows anything about them."
"I'm sure he does." Italy said with a chuckle. "He once told me he knows this place inside and out."
Just as he said this, they came into the room with the floating crystal ball, with a green woman's head inside of it. She was calling out to the spirts to come and join her.
"Jeez lady, didn't you see all the ruckus they were making in the other rooms?" Romano commented. "Are you sure you want even more riffraff hanging around?"
Then, in the next room they went into, they were brought into the dining room, where they saw a room full of what looked like real ghosts, sitting around a dining table, and dancing around the room. Italy gasped in wonder, and Romano let out a low whistle.
"That's very impressive." Germany said, admiring the spectacle. "I wonder how they pulled that off?"
"Mirrors." Romano said with a smirk. "It's probably smoke and mirrors."
"Stop trying to analyze the ride." Italy complained. "Just enjoy it!"
"Says the one that didn't even want to come in." Romano said with a smirk.
Then they moved on to a room that looked like an attic. They didn't seem much, but then they saw a blue ghostly figure dressed in a wedding gown, who smiled creepily at them.
"Sorry darling, you're not my type." Romano said as they passed her. As they entered the Graveyard, they were all amused to see that the dead all seemed to be playing music on horns and singing. They especially liked the singing head busts and opera lady. Then finally, they came to the end of the ride.
"Wow, that wasn't scary at all!" Italy commented as they walked out of the ride.
"I don't think that was the point." Germany said with a small smile. "I think it was meant to entertain more than anything.
"Hey, can I pick the next ride?" Italy asked.
"How come?" Romano asked.
"You two chose this one, so I get to pick the next one." Italy said with a cheerful grin.
"Alright, which one did you want to go on?" Germany asked.
Italy's grin just got wider. And fifteen minutes later, Germany, Romano, and Italy entered it's a Small World's gate.
"Feliciano, brother, please don't make us do this!" Romano begged as they got to the small boats.
"For once, I agree with your brother." Germany said, his eye twitching. "Don't we deal with the rest of the world enough as it is?"
"Nope, I like this ride." Italy said with a big smile. "It's so cheerful and light hearted!"
"But the song! It'll drive us insane!" Germany said. "Come to your senses!"
"I take back every nice thing I said about America!" Romano said with a glower. "Only a truly evil genius could think of such a torture ride."
"Next." The bored lady in line said as the boat came. As people filed into the boats, Germany and Romano tried to turn away, but Italy dragged them into the front of the boat, and before they get off, the boat was already moving towards the tunnel.
"No!" Romano said, covering his ears as they went into the tunnel. "I swear to god, if the song is stuck in my head for the rest of the day, I'll kill you!"
"Oh, you don't mean that." Italy said happily as they got to the small singing robots. On each side of the boat were a number of small dolls surrounding them, each with their own costumes and small sets. Each set looked different, and represented a different country. There was a London bridge to their left, and several dancing dolls in tutus on their right on a stage.
"Oh god, here they go." Germany sighed as the dolls started to sing.
"They look creepy." Romano commented, giving the dolls dressed as drummers a suspicious look.
"What, no they don't." Italy said, looking surprised. "They're adorable!"
"Hey, look what they did for Ireland." Romano snickered, pointing out the small space that looked like a shamrock had puked Irish all over the place. There was a leprechaun next to a rainbow and one of the dolls was doing an Irish jig.
"I like our section." Italy laughed, pointing to a doll on a Gondola, wearing a hat and holding a poll.
"I can't really tell which one is supposed to be mine." Germany said with a frown. "Wait a second, are those dolls on top of cuckoo clocks?" Germany asked, his eyes narrowing at the dolls standing on top of clocks, who were ringing bells.
"Relax, that one is Switzerland's." Italy said, patting Germany on the shoulder.
"How can you tell?" Germany asked in surprise.
"Yours is over there." Italy said, pointing to a small part of the show to their right.
"At least it isn't flashy." Germany sighed.
"It's like they're looking into my soul." Romano said with a shudder.
They passed into the second room, and Italy smiled at the displays around them. The room was obviously representing Asia, having traditional Asian buildings, clothing, and monuments.
"Look what he did with Russia's." Germany said with a smirk as they passed the small dolls. There was a stereotypical Russian man doing a stereotypical Russian dance. And below him, a group of lady dolls were dancing in a circle in cute dresses. The whole ride was bright yellow.
"I hope Russia doesn't come in here." Romano snickered. "I think he'd throw America into the water for that."
"Why?" Italy asked in confusion. "I think it looks cute."
"Yeah, that's the point." Romano said.
"I like Japan's." Germany said, pointing to the small dolls bowing to them in traditional Japanese clothing with colorful fans in the background. "I think it's well done."
"I'd like it more if they stopped singing." Romano grumbled. "This song is getting repetitive."
As they passed into the third room, Romano let out a snort of laughter. "Look what he did to Egypt! It looks more like Egypt in Las Vegas!" The sphinx was pink and grey, and had a yellow pyramid next to it, as well as what looked like palm trees. And the whole thing had glitter on it.
"I think it looks good." Italy said.
"I think the rest of the room is supposed to be the rest of Africa." Germany said, motioning to the jungle theme around them. There were giraffes, elephants, and monkeys placed around the room, as well as many different jungle plants.
"I wonder how many more rooms we'll have to pass through?" Romano wondered out loud as they passed through the fourth room.
The forth room was much brighter than the previous rooms, due to it being bright orange and yellow. There were dolls riding donkeys, playing the guitar, and in colorful outfits. Some of the dolls were carrying baskets of bananas on their heads.
"This must be south America." Germany said.
"And there's Mexico's." Italy said with a small chuckle, pointing out a group of dolls wearing sombreros and ponchos, who were all dancing around a small band of animals. "I wonder if he liked it?"
"Knowing America, he put in a lot of self-control on that one. I don't see any tacos." Germany said with a sigh.
"Are they getting along any better these days?" Romano asked.
"Nope." Italy said. "They were fighting at the last meeting again."
"Shame." Germany sad as they entered next room. The next room had many hula girls in it, as well as an island theme to it. Also one of the dolls was surfing. There were also some hula girls dancing in what looked like fire.
"Oh my god, did he put hula girls in fire?" Romano asked in disbelief as he spotted America's display. "And the other hula girls aren't even helping them! That's messed up!"
"Oh look, Australia's!" Italy said happily. "No surprise, America gave him kangaroo's."
"It's really not that surprising." Germany said with a shrug.
"I wonder why America didn't put more of his culture in here?" Italy asked with a frown.
"Probably because it's in America already." Germany said.
"Excuse me, did no one else see the singing dolls from hell dancing in a fire?" Romano asked.
"Oh look, the final room!" Italy said.
"Just me?" Romano asked as they went into the next room.
"What?" Germany asked.
"Never mind." Romano grumbled.
As they went into the next room, they saw a bunch of different dolls from around the world dancing together, dressed in white so they all looked the same. They were all holding hands and dancing, representing a unified world. Romano made a gagging sound.
"Please, the moment the world can come together like this is the day I give up pasta." Romano said. "And please tell me the ride is done. If I have to hear this song any longer I'm going to climb out of this boat and run the rest of the way to the exit."
"Yes, we're done." Italy said as they pulled out of the tunnel and back into the lobby.
"Oh, thank fuck!" Romano said, climbing out of the boat.
"It wasn't that bad." Italy said, following his brother out of the boat.
"It wasn't as bad as I thought, but that song was annoying." Germany said.
"Oh, don't be silly." Italy said with a pout. "It was cute." Then with a grin, he added, "So, do you want to go again?"
"NO!" Romano and Germany said in panicked unison.
_Linebreak_
"This is awesome!" Prussia cackled, rushing ahead of Austria and Hungary, looking all around him. They had all ended up in a group somehow, and they were hanging out in Fantasy Land. "What do you want to go on next?"
"I think I'd like to go on the teacups." Hungary said, eyeing the colorful teacups ahead of them.
"An awesome idea!" Prussia said with a grin.
"Must you rush ahead at such a pace?" Austria huffed as he tried to catch up with Prussia. "Must you make everything into a race?"
"Of course, it's fun to see you suffer!" Prussia cackled.
"Why do you always pick on Austria?" Hungary asked, annoyed.
"I thought I already said why!" Prussia said, raising an eyebrow. "Each of his failures is my victory."
"That's an awful thing to say!" Hungary said crossly, attempting to pull out her frying pan, only to discover it wasn't there.
"Ha, I know you don't have your frying pan." Prussia said, sticking his tongue out at Hungary. "Remember, America said that we can't have weapons here!"
"Dang it all." Hungary said with a huff. "I'll smack you later."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Prussia snickered, rushing over to the teacups. As they stood in line, Prussia grew bored, and pulled out his phone.
"Huh, says here that this was one of the original rides in the park." Prussia commented. "And originally the cups didn't have a roof over them."
"That's interesting." Hungary commented.
Finally, it was their turn on the ride. As they got on, Prussia smirked. Hungary narrowed her eyes at Prussia.
"Don't you dare." She warned, but Prussia's grin just got bigger. As soon as the cup doors were shut, Prussia grabbed the turner in the middle, and gave a devil like grin towards Austria.
"So, how is your stomach holding up?" Prussia asked Austria, who's eyes widened in realization at what Prussia was doing.
"No, don't you even think about that!" Austria said, but the moment the ride started up, Prussia started to turn the table as fast as he could, and Austria and Hungary were flung to the sides of the cup.
"Ha! This is how you do teacups, losers!" Prussia cackled as he saw Austria slowly turning green.
"Prussia!" Hungary barked angerly. "Stop that this moment!"
"Never! I am awesome!" Prussia said, turning the teacup even faster.
"I don't think I'm feeling too good." Austria groaned. "Whose idea was it to choose this ride?"
"I'm sorry." Hungary said, glaring at Prussia.
"Woo!" Prussia yelled, finally letting go of the table to enjoy the rotation of ride.
Hungary attempted to stop the spinning, but Prussia smacked her hand away. Huffing in anger, she attempted to stop it again, but Prussia smacked her hand again. They glared at each other, and then they got into a smacking contest.
"Yield!" Prussia shouted.
"Never!" Hungary shouted back.
"Do it!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"I'm going to lose my lunch." Austria groaned.
"SHUT UP!" the other two shouted at Austria. Finally, the teacups stopped, and Prussia jumped out of the cups, and tried to run away. And by tried, he fell flat on his face from being dizzy.
"Serves you right." Hungary sniffed, stepping over Prussia, supporting Austria out of the Teacup.
"I'm still awesome." Prussia groaned.
"I don't think I'm going to be able to hold it down." Austria warned Hungary. Hungary, with a gleam in her eyes, dropped Austria on Prussia.
"What, what are you, NOOOO!" Prussia screamed.

"Uh, guys, as much as I love your enthusiasm for the rides, I think playing rock paper scissors to decide which one we should go on first over a hundred times is pushing it." America said in annoyance. The other two nations looked at America in embarrassment. They had been sitting outside Tomorrowland for the last hour, and America was getting annoyed by the lack of progress.
"I apologize." Japan said, bowing his head. "I did not mean to hold up progress. But as I clearly won the last round, we should go to my ride first." Japan said, throwing a glare at Russia.
"I think you are losing your old mind in your old age." Russia said cheerfully. "I clearly won the last round, Da?"
"Are you calling me a liar?" Japan said, narrowing his eyes.
"Of course not, just forgetful." Russia said with a smirk.
Before Japan could reply, America groaned, and face palmed. "Oh, my dear sweet lord, no more of this!" Glaring at the other two nations, America stormed into Tomorrowland and walked towards Space Mountain. "Look, it doesn't matter which ride we go on first. Let's just please get on one!"
Russia smirked at Japan, and Japan was fuming. But they followed America to the line to get on the ride.
"Space Mountain was quite the project when they were making the plans for it." America said cheerfully, ignoring the glares the other two were throwing each other. "Space Mountain was thought up after the success of another ride, and first mountain attraction which was in Disneyland, called The Matterhorn Bobsleds in 1959. Originally, Space mountain was supposed to be built in Disney land, however, due to the limitations of technology at the time with the combination of limited space, such a design was impossible."
"So, they moved it to Disney world?" Japan asked curiously.
"Not right away." America said, shaking his head. "After Disney's death in 1966, and the Disney World project being announced, the project was pushed off indefinitely. But due to the new park being a huge success with teens and young adults, the park started to look for thrill rides to draw in that age range. They thought about building another Matterhorn Bobsled ride, but they decided to use Space Mountain instead."
"That's because space is cool." Russia said with a smirk.
"That it is." America said with a laugh. "At the time, Tomorrowland had the space to build the ride, and so that's where it was built. The ride opened in early 1975."
"Is this your favorite ride?" Japan asked with a small frown.
"It does have a space theme, and we know how much you love space." Russia pointed out.
"Nope. Not even close." America said with a smile. Russia frowned, and Japan put on a small smirk of his own. "Not by a long shot."
"Then what is?" Russia asked.
"You'll see." America said. "I'm saving mine for last."
At that moment, the roller-coaster carts pulled in, and America grinned. Hopping into the middle, Japan in front, and Russia in the back, they rolled up to the front of the tunnel, where their bars were checked to make sure they were secure, and with that, they were dragged forwards.
"Here comes the fun part." America said.
"Indeed." Japan said with a grin.
"Uh, what are you talking about?" Russia asked with a frown.
"That's right, this is your first Disney ride!" America said, eyes going wide. Then he dissolved into a fit of giggles. "You'll see."
Then, they were tugged into the tunnel, and the Sci-Fi noises started to go off, and the walls around them started blinking blue, making it seem like they were in a warp tunnel.
"It's like being in a warp tunnel!" America laughed, seeing Russia's amused look.
"I see." Russia said with a chuckle.
"Whoops, here comes the speed." America said, turning to look forwards.
"Speed?" Russia asked, only for his stomach to feel like it jumped into his mouth as the ride suddenly plummeted down. Russia squeezed his eyes shut, and felt the wind on his face. It was rather exciting. America let out a whoop, and threw his hands in the air with a giant grin. Japan merely chuckled as they whipped around the corners. This went on for about five minutes, when they went through another tunnel, this time colored red, and a few seconds later, they were back at the entrance.
"Yeah!" America said happily, jumping out of his cart happily, and spinning in a circle. "I missed this ride!"
"But it's in your country. Shouldn't you be able to come here anytime you want?" Russia asked as he climbed out of his cart, his hair windswept.
"Dude, I'm a busy guy." America said with a sigh, smoothing down his hair. "Trust me, if I could I'd spend more time here."
"You could take more vacations." Japan said, neatening his own hair.
"Phfft, as if. With my ratio of good to bad vacations, I'd say I'd be better off not taking them." America said with a chuckle. Then eyeing Russia's hair, he snickered.
"What, is something on my face?" Russia asked, putting his hand up to his face.
"Nope, but you're rocking a new hair style." America said, and with that, he walked out of the loading area.
As Russia tried to fix his hair, he heard a click, and turning around, he spotted Japan holding a camera.
"You will destroy that picture, or I will destroy you." Russia threatened.
"Oh, I don't think so." Japan said with a smirk. "If you do, America may ban you from the park again."
"When we get out of here, you will regret this." Russia threatened.
"I don't think I will." Japan smirked, walking past Russia and towards America, who was waiting for them by the exit.
"This means war." Russia muttered.

England sighed as he walked through the crowds. He remembered when they had opened this park. America hadn't shut up about it for months. But at the time, America had missed Disney dearly, even five years after the mans death and the park had been dedicated to the man, so England had understood America's eagerness to make this park one of his best. Even so, it still amazed England how much America invested in the park.
Shaking his head, he wandered around the location call Adventureland. He was looking for a specific ride, and it was the one he had been looking forwards to riding the most. And he couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw how long the line was.
"Well, I guess it was to be expected." England grumbled as he got into the back of the line. But not even a minute had passed when he heard an awkward cough behind him. Looking around, he was surprised to see Spain behind him, looking uncomfortable.
"I should have expected to see you here." Spain said with an awkward laugh.
"Hmm, I suppose so." England said with a shrug. "Pirates were kind of my thing."
"Yes, I know." Spain said, looking annoyed. "I know quite well."
"Look, I'm not here to fight." England sighed. "I'm just here to ride the stupid ride."
"I see that." Spain said, relaxing a little.
"So, have you been on many rides?" England asked.
"Hmm, I've been quite a few." Spain said, his mouth pulling upwards. "But the teacup ride was down, so I haven't had a chance to go on that yet."
"Really?" England asked in surprise. "I was on the ride earlier today. Why was it down?"
"Austria threw up on it." Spain chuckled.
"Austria?" England asked in disbelief. "Why would a ride like that make him sick?"
"From what I heard from Hungary, Prussia was a little too enthusiastic to get his spin on." Spain said, rolling his eyes. Then with a smirk, he added, "Speaking of Prussia, he got the brunt of Austria's fury."
"You mean, Austria threw up on Prussia?" England asked, snorting with laughter. "That seems quite unlike him."
"I am led to believe that Hungary might have dropped Austria on Prussia." Spain said with a laugh.
"Quite unfortunate." England said. They stood in silence for a few minutes, until finally they entered the building. They were led to a boat, where England and Spain decided to sit next to each other. As the ride started, England couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"This ride isn't very accurate when it comes to pirates, is it?" England asked as they went through a waterfall made of mist with Davey Jones projected on it.
"Well, I wouldn't think so." Spain said with a huff. "I don't think real pirates are kid appropriate."
"I like the cave touch." England commented, looking around at the decorations around them.
"The skeletons are a cute detail." Spain said with a chuckle as he they passed a skeleton with a seagull chirping on top of its head.
"Didn't I read somewhere that these things were real?" England asked with a frown.
"No, you're thinking of Disneyland in California." Spain said with a smile. "And that was at the beginning because they didn't want the fake bones to ruin the look of the ride. Once the level of fake bones looked good enough, they were replaced."
"Oh yes, now I remember." England said with a chuckle. "I must be honest, I do prefer the ride in Disneyland over this one. It's much more detailed."
"Well, that was the first one." Spain pointed out as the came to the next room, which had a large ship "firing" cannons at a fort.
"Oh, I'm glad to see that this is still well done." England said with a smile. "Ah, this takes me back to my days at sea. It was such exciting time then."
"Not for me." Spain pouted.
"Ah, well, I suppose not." England said with a small smirk. "But I had a fun time. I kind of miss it. The battles, the smell of gun powder, the sense of freedom."
"Don't let America hear you say that." Spain chuckled as they passed by the next room, which had Jack Sparrow hiding from people wanting to kill him. "He may have a heart attack because you were cool once."
"Sod off, I'm still cool!" England huffed.
"I'm afraid you're old now." Spain chuckled as they passed a pirate selling off women. "And, uh, I'm surprised the Disney people allowed that display." he mentioned.
"Eh, the ride is about pirates." England said. "Later they're pillaging a town, so it's not all that surprising. See, look, just as I said." England said, pointing out the next room, which doing just that.
"They seem to be having fun." Spain said. "You know, through all the rides I've been on, I have to admit, the animatronics are very impressive."
"America takes quite a bit of pride in it." England nodded.
"Oh look, the town is on fire now." Spain said with a laugh as they went into the next room. "Nice of America to remind the children of the consequences of being a no good dirty out law."
"Of course." England said with a strained smile.
"And, oh look!" Spain said happily as they entered the last room, pointing to the men behind the bars. "I remember a certain someone once in a situation like that!"
"Indeed." England said dryly. As they finally got to the end of the ride, England smiled, and hopped out the boat. "Well Spain, I shall be seeing you around." England said brightly, and then rushed out of the ride.
"Why was he in such a rush?" Spain wondered, putting his hands on his hips. He then froze, and started to pat his pockets. He quickly searched them, then a dark look went over his face.
"He took my phone." Spain growled. "THAT NO GOOD SON OF A-"
"Hey!" one of the attendants yelled, cutting Spain off. "There are kids here!"

"So, should we go on another ride, or should we stop for a bite to eat?" Canada asked, shielding his eyes from the glare of the sun. He was with China and France, although Canada wasn't sure how they had grouped together.
"Hmm, I could use something to eat." China said as his stomach grumbled.
"Is there a restaurant near here?" France asked, looking around.
"I don't feel like eating a whole meal." Canada said with a frown. "Plus, if we get too full we'll get sick on the rides."
"That's a good point." France said with a chuckle. Suddenly, his phone binged. Pulling out his phone, he saw that Spain had sent him a text. Opening it, he was confused to see that it said, "I am stupid, England is the best!"
"That is odd." France said, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey, put that phone away." China said, glaring at France. "Unless you are taking pictures, you don't need that out."
"Pardon." France said, making a note to ask Spain why he had sent that message later. "So, what shall we do?"
"I think I have an idea." Canada said with a smile, pointing to a small food booth nearby.
"Good idea." China said with a nod. "We can get something quick there."
With that, they went over to the booth, and Canada asked for an ice-cream cone, France got a micky mouse popsicle, and China got an ice-cream sandwich. As soon as they got their treats, they walked over to a nearby bench and sat down. France sat in the middle, with Canada on his left and China on his right. They sat in silence for a while, until Canada started to giggle.
"What is so funny?" China asked, glancing at Canada.
"You have a bit of a chocolate around your mouth." Canada said, pulling out his phone and taking a picture.
"Don't take a picture!" China said, grabbing a napkin and wiping his mouth.
"But you look so funny." Canada said, holding up his phone, showing him the picture. China had a large ring of chocolate around his mouth, and looked surprised in the picture.
"No, I look undignified!" China cried.
"It is a fine picture." France said with a laugh. "It captures you in the moment."
China just sniffed, and continued to eat his sandwich, making sure not to smear anymore of it on his face.
Just then, France felt someone pulling on his sleeve, looking down, he was surprised to see a little girl dressed up in a princess outfit grinning up at him.
"Bonjour petit, how may I help you?" France asked, and the little girls eyes brightened. She turned around and waved at her mother.
"See! I told you it was Lumière!" The little girl yelled at her mother. "See!"
Canada snorted with laughter, and quickly had to clamp a hand over his mouth to stop himself, and China started to snigger. France took it in stride though, and smiled down at the girl.
"Oh, and how did you know it was me?" France asked the girl.
"Because you're handsome, you have a French accent, and you're dressed really well!" The girl said happily.
"How observant of you!" France said, ignoring the two behind him. "Did you need something, my princess?"
The girl giggled, and held up a small booklet filled with signatures from the princess's and prince's from around the park. "Can you sign my booklet?"
"But of course!" France said with a wink, taking the booklet from the girl. Then looking around, he pretended to be concerned. "But alas! I have no pen to sign with!"
"It's ok, I have my own!" The little girl said, handing France a bright pink pen with Mickey Mouse ears on them. Canada got up and hurried away, barely containing his laughter, while China started to record the whole thing on his phone.
"Merci beaucoup." France said with a laugh. France opened the book, and with big loopy letters signed Lumière. Then with one final flare, he bowed and handed the book to the girl. "There you are your highness."
"Thank you." The girl said, bowing back, and then she hugged France and ran back to her mother. The mother threw France a thankful look, and they walked off.
"That was so cute!" Canada said, walking back over, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Of course, I am excellent with children." France said with a wink. Then glancing at China, he added, "Send me that video."
Just then, England ran past them, laughing at the top of his lungs. Spain was running after him, yelling for him to give his phone back.
"Well, that explains that." France said, watching them run out of sight.
"I wonder what the others are up too?" Canada wondered, taking a lick of his ice cream.
"I heard America was giving Russia and Japan a tour of the park." China said. France gave China a look of disbelief.
"At the same time?" He asked.
"Yup." China said with a smirk. "I saw them earlier by the Haunted Mansion. America seemed oblivious to the glares they were giving each other."
"He has no idea what he's gotten himself into." Canada sighed, shaking his head.

America was starting to notice that the other two were a little tense. And for the life of him, he couldn't understand why. This place was the happiest place on the freaking planet! It had happiness spilling out of every nook and cranny for goodness sakes! So why wouldn't they relax? America frowned as he glanced behind him. Japan and Russia seemed to be upset about something.
"Hey, you guys good?" America asked nervously. "Are you liking the rides?"
"Of course." Japan said, his face relaxing a little.
"They are very fun. I am having a good time." Russia confirmed.
"Great, because you guys seemed to be upset about something." America said with a relived smile. "I would have hated it if you guys weren't having a good time." As America turned around, Japan and Russia looked guilty. "Hey, did you guys want something to eat? I'm getting hungry." America asked, pointing towards a cotton candy machine.
"No, thank you." Japan said.
"None for me, thanks." Russia said, shaking his head.
"Oh, ok. Well, I'm going to grab some. I'll be right back!" America said cheerfully, running over to the booth. As soon as America was out of earshot, Japan turned to Russia with a sigh.
"I think America is starting to notice that we're fighting."
"I didn't think he'd catch on." Russia said with a frown.
"I think he is thinking that we are not enjoying the park, and that is why we are unhappy." Japan said, looking guilty. "I hate that he is thinking that. And although you are an awful person, I am willing to call a truce with you, but only for the sake of America." Japan said, straightening out to his full height.
"You call me an awful person, and then offer a truce in the same sentence?" Russia asked in disbelief.
"Are you going to agree or not?" Japan asked impatiently.
"I will." Russia said. "However, you will delete that picture you took."
"Sorry, I can't." Japan said with a smirk. "I already sent it to everyone."
Russia's face went dark, and before he could strangle Japan, America ran back over to them, bouncing up and down excitedly. Russia quickly schooled his expression.
"Hey, are you ready for the next ride?" America asked happily, taking a bite off his snack.
"Yes." Japan said, looking down at the map in his hand. "Shall we try the one I mentioned earlier?"
"The Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin?" America asked, looking over Japans shoulder.
"Yes, that was the one." Japan said.
"Cool, I'm pretty good at that ride." America said with a smirk. "Let's go!" America said happily, practically skipping in the direction of the ride.
"What does he mean good at the ride?" Russia asked. "Don't you just sit on them?"
"Nope, he'll show us." Japan said, and they followed America back to Tomorrowland. By the time they got to the ride, America had finished off his cotton candy. Throwing the trash out, he cracked his knuckles, grinning as they walked into the ride.
"This ride wasn't originally called what it's call now. This ride originally opened in 1972, under the name 'If You Had Wings", and that was due to the ride being sponsored by Eastern Airlines. However, after they dropped their sponsorship in 1987, the ride was renamed to 'If You Could Fly.' The ride closed two years later after that. Six months after it shut down, it was reopened as a different ride, called Delta Dreamflight, as it was sponsored by Delta Airlines."
"Isn't that the Airline that lost your underwear?" Russia asked with a smirk.
"I thought we agreed never to talk about that." America said shooting Russia a look.
"Trust me, it was awkward time for me too." Russia said, chuckling.
"Anyways," America said, clearing his throat. "Delta sponsored the ride until 1996, and due to financial reasons, and because the sponsorship of the 1996 Summer Olympics, they dropped the ride. The ride was renamed 'Take Flight', until 1998, when the ride was shut down to make the ride you see today! It was reopened ten months later."
"So, what did you mean by you were good at this ride?" Russia asked.
"Oh, that's the fun part." America said with a grin. "This ride is like a shooting gallery! As the ride moves, you swivel the ride around and aim at the targets that go by."
"This is one of my favorite rides." Japan said with a smile. "I usually always get Space Ace or higher."
"The rankings are at the end of the ride." America said, answering Russia's unspoken question. "Now, let's get in line!" America said cheerfully, bouncing over to the line. As the carts rolled up, there was a problem. The carts only took two people at a time, and America had already got into a cart with another person, meaning Russia and Japan had to sit together.
"I am displeased with this arrangement." Japan muttered as the ride started.
"Trust me, I am not happy with this either." Russia muttered. "How about a small contest?" Russia offered innocently.
"And what does the winner get?" Japan asked, narrowing his eyes.
"On free hit here." Russia said with a smirk, tapping his chin. "The loser doesn't swing back. They just take it."
Japan smirked, and grabbed the laser gun in front of him. "Game on."
For the next few minutes they were taken through a series of blue and green rooms. Each room had targets on the backdrops, monsters, and other displays. The targets were spun around, up and down, and side to side by the displays in the room. It looked and felt like an arcade game. The two nations fired at everything they could see. They didn't have time to admire the decorations, as they were concentrating on beating each other. By the time the ride ended, while just a few minutes long, they were sweating from concentration. And then they looked at their scores.
"This must be a joke." Japan said, staring down at the little numbers displayed in front of them.
"It seems it is a tie." Russia sighed. The numbers read 500,000. "I guess no punching for us."
"Hey guys!" America said, running up to them, looking proud of himself. "What rank did you guys get? Who won?"
"We tied at Space ace." Japan said. "We got the exact same score."
"Wow, weird." America said, looking surprised. "Hey, you guys looked like you were having fun on the ride!" America said brightly. "I was worried that you guys were getting bored, but I guess I was wrong. Hey, guess what rank I got!"
"Space ace?" Russia offered.
"Cosmic Commando?" Japan guessed.
"Nope, I got a perfect score!" America said with a smirk. "999,999 points, and the title of Galactic Hero!"
"Of course, we should have guessed." Japan chuckled and Russia rolled his eyes.
"Alright, now it's time for my favorite ride!" America said, eyes sparkling with excitement. "Come on!"

"Come on!" Sealand said happily, dragging Finland by the hand through crowded street. "We need to find them all!"
"I don't think that's possible." Finland chuckled, taking a sip from his soda. Finland, Sealand, and Sweden were walking around the park, looking for hidden Mickeys. So far, they had found six of them.
"America picked a nice day for us to be here." Finland commented, looking up towards the clear sky above him. "It's so sunny!"
"And it's not over crowded." Sweden added.
"Oh! I think I see one!" Sealand said excitably, pointing towards a horse cart passing by them. "There on the things that block the horses vision!"
"They're called bridles-blinders." Finland corrected, looking to where Sealand was pointing. On the blinder was a gold Mickey head. "And yes, I think that's one of them."
"Sweet!" Sealand said, writing it down on the notepad in his hands. "That makes seven!"
"I thought we found five others?" Finland asked with a frown, leaning over to look at Sealand's list.
"Nope, six." Sealand said, pointing at the locations.
"I don't remember seeing one in the haunted mansion."
"It was in the ballroom." Sweden said.
"Oh! Now I remember. How silly of me." Finland said.
"Ok, where should we look next?" Sealand asked, looking around him. Then he let out a gasp, and started pulling on Finland's shirt excitably. "Look! You can meet Ariel!" He said, pointing at attraction to their left, which looked like a cave. It also had a long line.
"I don't know." Finland said with a frown. "That looks like an awfully long wait to get in there."
"Please?" Sealand begged, giving them his puppy eyes. "Ariel's my favorite."
"Sure." Sweden said.
"YES!" Sealand shouted, throwing his hands in the air. As he ran over to the line, Finland threw Sweden a questioning look.
"I thought you were sick of the little mermaid because of Denmark." Finland whispered as they followed Sealand. "What gives?"
"It makes him happy." Sweden said with a shrug.
"You're just a teddy bear, you know that?" Finland teased, patting Sweden on the back. Sweden just hummed in agreement, but the corner of his mouth twitched upwards a bit. They entered the "cave", and were pleased to see while the line was long, they didn't have to wait in the sun. But after thirty minutes of waiting, Sealand started to become impatient.
"Are we there yet?" Sealand asked.
"Don't you start with that." Finland said, giving Sealand a warning glance.
"But I'm bored." Sealand whined. "How many people are in front of us?"
"A few." Sweden said, looking over the heads in front of them.
"Uhh." Sealand groaned, kicking at a pebble next to him. "Lines are dumb."
"It could be worse." Finland pointed out. "During the summer time the lines are twice as long here."
"And hot." Sweden said with a frown.
"But I thought you met the characters while walking around the park?" Sealand said with a pout. "When did they stop doing that?"
"I'm not sure." Finland said with a thoughtful look. "I remember America talking about it years ago. He said it had something to do with the characters being overcrowded."
"It was due to convenience probably." Sweden said. "It's hard to find all the characters if they are walking around the park."
"But now we have to wait in lines." Sealand pointed out.
"There was an old Ariel's meet and greet before this one." Finland pointed out. "So to be fair, you always had to wait to meet her."
"I guess that's true." Sealand said.
"Next!" Yelled the lady at the entrance of Ariel's room.
"I think it's our turn." Finland said with a smile.
"Finally!" Sealand said, rushing into the room. When they walked into the room, the first thing they saw was Ariel sitting on a giant seashell. She was in her mermaid appearance, purple seashell bra and all. The room was decorated to look like it was under the sea.
"Ariel!" Sealand said happily, running up to her with a smile.
"Why, hello there!" Ariel said with a grin. "And what's your name?"
"My name is Peter!" Sealand said happily, jumping up to sit next to her. "I'm your second biggest fan!"
"You're not my biggest fan?" Ariel asked in confusion.
"Nope. That honor belongs to my brother!" Sealand said with a laugh.
"He's not with you?"
"Nope, he's with my other brothers. But I'm sure he'll meet you soon!" Sealand said brightly. Ariel laughed and nodded her head. "I look forwards to it. If you don't mind me asking Peter, you don't seem to be from around here. Where are you from?"
"I'm from Sealand!" Sealand said proudly.
"I'm afraid I've never heard of Sealand." Ariel said apologetically.
"It's a fort off the coast of England. You would love it there! It's surrounded by water, so you'd have an easy time getting there!"
"I sure would." Ariel said with a wink.
"Hey, why are you in mermaid form anyway?" Sealand asked with a frown. "I thought you became human."
"Well, the park asked me to." Ariel explained smoothly. "They said it would be more magical to meet me this way."
"Oh, that makes sense." Sealand said. "So, what's your favorite thing about the surface?"
"Hmm, that's a tough one." Ariel said, tapping her chin. "There's so many things to choose! Oh, I know, dancing!" She said with a snap of her fingers.
"Dancing?" Sealand asked with a confused look.
"Yeah! Gives me a chance to move my feet! Well, flipper right now, but you know what I mean." She said, waving her flipper to prove her point.
"Peter, do you want a picture?" Finland asked, pulling his camera out of his bag.
"Yeah!" Sealand said with a grin, scooting closer over to Ariel. Ariel wrapped her arm around Sealand, and they posed for the picture.
"Say cheese!" Finland said, snapping a few pictures. After that was done, Sealand hopped down off of the chair, and gave Ariel a wave.
"Come visit me!" Sealand said cheerfully.
"I will!" Ariel said with a laugh.
As they walked out of the building, Sealand pulled out his notepad again. "So, where do you think we should go next?"

"Aren't we a bit old to be getting on this ride?" Iceland asked with a frown. They were in line for the ride 'Under the Sea', which to the surprise of no one, had been picked out by Denmark.
"No one is too old to enjoy The Little Mermaid!" Denmark said with an offended gasp.
"You're still young." Norway pointed out. "Shouldn't you be more excited?"
"I'm not a child." Iceland pouted.
"Everyone is a child here!" Denmark said with a laugh. "Hell, you saw how excited China was and that guy is ancient!"
"I guess." Iceland said with a shrug.
"Come one, even though Denmark is with us, it's not that bad." Norway said.
"HEY!" Denmark said. "I'll have you know that I'm amazing! I make everything better when I'm around!"
"Uh-huh." Norway said, not paying attention.
"I don't remember this ride being here the last time we visited." Iceland said with a frown.
"I don't think you can call it new anymore." Denmark pointed out. "It came out in 2012."
"Yes, but seeing as it wasn't here when I came here last time, it is a new ride for me." Iceland said.
"What a childish thing to say." Denmark said with a wink.
"Stop teasing him." Norway said, grabbing the cord that was holding Denmark's camera around his neck and pulled it, causing Demark to be strangled.
"I didn't know you could do that outside of ties." Iceland said, impressed.
"I've had a lot of practice." Norway said with a shrug as he let go of the cord.
"You got to stop doing that." Denmark coughed, massaging his neck. "I swear, my neck is getting thinner."
"Then stop being an ass." Norway said.
"But I'm such a charming ass." Denmark said with a cocky grin.
"I'm not even going to grace that with a response." Norway said.
"The ride is here." Iceland said. As they walked over to the seats, (which were shaped like seashells), and noticed that each seashell only had room for two.
"I'll take this one." Denmark said, grabbing Iceland into the seat next to his. "It's about time you spent time with your older brother."
"Good luck." Norway said, and he left to go find a seat.
"Oh god, this is going to be so embarrassing." Iceland sighed as the ride started up.
"You mean fun!" Denmark said with a grin.
They started by going through the back of a sunken ship, where they came across the seagull from the movie narrating the story of the Little mermaid.
"I don't need to be told the story." Denmark sniffed. "I've memorized it."
"Wow, it's not like you haven't said that a hundred times." Iceland said.
"Well, look who picked up sass from Norway." Denmark said with a bark of laughter.
Moving out of the sunken ship, their seats turned around, and the backs of them turned blue.
"Oh! Looks like we're going under water!" Denmark said excitably.
"I mean, not really." Iceland said.
"Shh, use your imagination." Denmark said.
Suddenly, the song, "Part of your world" started to play, and looking up, they saw a clip of Ariel above them singing with flounder. Then turning around again, they saw an animatronic Ariel in her cave of wonders, with flounder floating next to her.
"Look! It's Ariel!" Denmark said excitably, bouncing up and down.
"You know that she isn't real, right?" Iceland sighed.
"Shh, believe!"
They pulled out of the room, and to Denmark's delight, a similar tune struck up. They came into the next room, with all of the fish playing instruments or dancing.
"Under the Sea! Under the Sea!" Denmark sang.
"Jeez, you're so embarrassing." Iceland said, covering his face as the other people on the ride stared at them.
"Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me!" Denmark continued.
"I don't know you." Iceland muttered.
"Hey, look, you can see Ariel dancing!" Denmark pointed out.
They left the room, and the next room showed the sea witch Ursula, who was singing over her magical cauldron.
"Oh, they did a good job in this room." Denmark said.
"The new animatronics look really fluid." Iceland remarked.
"They do." Denmark said as they passed by a video of Ariel getting her legs. They entered the next room, which had Ariel and the prince in the boat in the lagoon.
"Aw, that's so cute." Denmark said with a smile.
"Shouldn't they notice all the singing animals around them? I mean, if I saw magic creatures singing love songs around me I think I'd start freaking out." Iceland pointed out.
"I mean, yeah, but it's Disney. Singing animals in that world is probably as natural as breathing."
"True."
Moving on, the next display had Ariel and Eric kissing, with Ursula angry in the background. Then they were at their wedding, with all the animals dancing.
"Hey, aren't we missing like, the whole climax of the story?" Denmark asked with a frown.
"I guess they couldn't fit everything into the ride." Iceland commented as the ride came to an end. Getting out, Norway met them at the exit.
"I could hear you singing from the back." Norway said, walking up to them.
"You mean his singing." Iceland said, pointing at Denmark.
"You're more childish than Iceland." Norway said as he walked out of the door.
"Hey!" Denmark said, as Iceland chuckled.

"TA-DA!" America said cheerfully, presenting the ride behind them with open arms and a wide grin. "This is my favorite ride in the whole entire park, and any other Disney park in world."
The other two nations looked at the ride in surprise. The ride wasn't very flashy, it was a large circular building with a large sign stating the name of the ride, which was "Walt Disney's carousel of progress." It wasn't even one of the busier rides. In fact, there wasn't even anyone in the queue. Russia and Japan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"This is your favorite ride?" Russia asked in disbelief.
"It doesn't seem like a ride you would pick as your favorite." Japan asked with a frown. "I thought it would be a more popular ride, or something flashier.
"Nope, this is my favorite." America said with a smile. "And Walt Disney's."
"This was Walt Disney's favorite ride?" Japan asked in amazement. "I thought it was Pirates of the Caribbean?"
"Nope, it was this one." America said, turning to look at the ride. "His friends and family always said Walt Disney himself proclaimed that the Carousel of Progress was his favorite attraction and that it should never cease operation."
"But why this ride?" Russia asked.
"Well, I mean, I could tell you guys but the ride has a video on why Disney liked it so much." America said with a shrug. "But I need to warn you guys that this ride is twenty minutes long."
"That long?" Japan asked in disbelief.
"Yup, but's that only the main ride. It's a lot longer." America said. "It literally tells the tale of technological progress through the years. It really is an amazing ride."
Russia and Japan looked at America, who looked lost in thought, with a small smile on his face.
"Why don't you tell us the history of the ride?" Russia said.
America glanced at them, and he frowned. "Only if you guys tell me why you two are fighting." The other nations blinked in surprise, and America laughed. "Come on guys, even I'm not that thick. I started to suspect when I got that cotton candy, and it became obvious on the Buzz lightyear ride. I heard your little bet."
"I didn't think you hear it over the noise." Russia said awkwardly.
"I apologize America, I hope we didn't make you too worried." Japan said turning red. "We really have been enjoying the rides."
"I mean, I'm glad you're enjoying them, but come on guys, you two shouldn't be fighting here of all places. If you two didn't want to tour together you should have just told me." America pointed out. "I'm sure the experience would have been better."
"We didn't want to take up all of your time. After all, there is no way you could have given us both a tour separately in one day." Russia said apologetically.
"So, why are you guys even fighting?" America asked curiously.
Russia and Japan glanced at each other, then in unison they said, "I don't like him." America gave them an unimpressed look.
"Really?" America asked in disappoint. "That's it? That's why you've been glaring at each other all day?"
"Well, he also posted my bad hair on social media." Russia growled.
"He threatened me!" Japan huffed.
"He called me a bad person!"
"He brought his pipe here!"
"I didn't bring it in the park!"
"Ok, enough!" America said, holding up his hands to silence the bickering nations. "I can't believe I have to say this to you two, but come on guys, you're acting like children." America said, giving them a look over his glasses. "Japan, I expect better from you of all people." Japan hung his head in shame. "But it was an awesome picture." America said with a smirk. "And Russia, really dude? You brought your pipe here?" Russia shuffled nervously.
"I left it outside."
"Well, if it means anything to you, I'm glad you obeyed the rules." America said with a small chuckle. "But come on, there is no need to be so tense here. There are no enemy's, no grudges, and no hatred allowed here. Just people looking to have a good time."
"That sounds awfully cheesy." Russia commented with a smirk.
"I'm a dreamer, so sue me." America laughed.
"We'll try to do better next time." Japan said, and Russia nodded in agreement.
"Look, I'm not asking for you two to magically become best friends, but at least put the anger on the back burner for now." America said with a shrug. "Anyways, do you guys want to know why I love this ride so much?"
"I would." Japan said.
"I would also." Russia said with a nod.
America gave a warm smile, and placed his hand on the sign with a fond way. "Disney was a hell of a man. He was an animator, film maker, business man, and my idol." America turned to look at the ride with a sad smile. "But most of all, he was a futurist. Always looking to the future, that man was. Never doubting it for a second. I mean, just look what he did in his life time. He was a pioneer in the animation industry, he was always looking for new ways to use technology in his projects, and not to mention the park he built when he was alive. The one in California. The man was always pushing for progress. This ride showed the progress of technology, and where he hoped it would go in the future."
"He sounded like a good person." Russia said.
"Well, he was." America said with a chuckle. "I mean, the man could be a bastard sometimes, but overall he was my hero."
"Really?" Japan asked.
"That man was my idol, I adored him. Still do." America said, nodding sadly. "It killed me when he died. I felt as though I'd lost a father that day." America sighed, and let out a sad chuckle. "Look at me, sounding like a sentimental fool."
Russia put a comforting hand on America's shoulder. Japan gave him a comforting look. America gave them a thankful look, then brushed off Russia hand. "Ah well, I guess it's all in the past now. But back to the original topic. The ride was created by Walt Disney and WED Enterprises for the 1964 New York World's Fair. After the Fair ended, the ride was relocated to Disneyland, where it remained from 1967 until 1973. However, the ride was replaced by a new attraction, called America Sings in 1974, and the ride was relocated to Disney world in 1975. I've ridden this ride so many times. I think I've left a permanent butt print on the seats." America snickered.
"Sounds like you really love this ride." Russia said.
"Well, it is a great way to see the past." America said walking towards the entrance. "The ride goes through different time periods, starting with the 1920's. It talks about what was the top tech in the day. A family narrates the progress of technology through their own life's. The ride ends with a look into what the future may look like."
"How come no one is here?" Japan asked with a frown.
"Oh, that's because I closed it down today." America said with a smirk. "I always get the ride to myself when I come here."
"What?" Russia asked in surprise. "How the hell is that possible?"
"I know all the higher ups." America said with a casual shrug. "I helped set this park up. I get special privileges for being me. Ya know, all that crap. I could shut down this park for a day if I asked just for me."
"Isn't that abusing your power?" Japan asked.
"Please, like you two haven't pulled out your "I'm a personification" card now and then." America said, rolling his eyes. "Plus, I'd never shut down the whole park. This place is so much more fun with other people around."
"I agree." Japan said with a smile. "It would seem like a sad place without people."
"Isn't that true." America said as they entered the building.
"Welcome, Mr. America." A lady said walking up to them. "We've been expecting you." Then glancing at the others, she gave a questioning look.
"They're with me." America said with a grin.
"I see." She said, relaxing. "You know the way."
"That I do." America said, gesturing for the others to follow him. As they walked towards the start of the ride, America grinned. "Who's ready to take a trip to the past?"

"Uh, I'm worn out." England yawned as he walked towards the parking lot.
"Me too." Prussia grumbled. "I don't ever think I'll be able to look at teacups for a while."
"Well, whose fault was that?" Hungary asked.
"Shut up." Prussia groaned. There was a smack, and Prussia fell to the ground, with Hungary smirking over him holding her frying pan.
"Told you I'd smack you." Hungary said.
"Oh my god, don't they ever give it a rest?" Canada asked.
"I think they like it." China said. "It's just the norm for them now."
"Has anyone seen the Nordics?" France asked, looking around.
"They left an hour ago." Germany said. "Sealand was tired so they decided to call it a day."
"My feet are killing me." Romano complained.
"It was worth it though." Italy said with a smile. "I had a great time."
"I'm glad to hear that." America said through a yawn of his own. "I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I'm getting up tomorrow."
"Oh Japan!" Russia sang as he grabbed his pipe out of the bush he had thrown it in earlier. "Look what I found."
"Just try it." Japan shot back. "I'll cut you down."
"Do you want to bet on that?" Russia asked.
"Have they been like that all day?" Spain asked America.
"Yup." America said a laugh.
Looking back at the park, America gave it a small smile, and walked towards his car looking forwards to the bed that waited for him at the hotel. It had been a magical day.
A/N: OH MY SWEET LORD, IT'S FINALLY DONE! THANK HEAVENS! Oh, and if you're wondering why I didn't write in America's ride, dude. It's freaking 20 minutes long. Do you know how long that would have taken to write? I would have died. I packed so much into this Chapter already, it just was too much. SO, Disney world, while not the first Disney park, is the only other one in the United States. It's located in Florida. It's Disney's largest park. I stuck to the Magic kingdom, because it was easier to write for, and it was the first part of the park to open. Disney world is the largest amusement park in the world. It is an amazing place, filled with wonder, magic, and Mickey mouse. I've only been twice, once when I was a baby, and when I was seven, so forgive me if some of the descriptions of the rides are off, because I had to look at them through YouTube videos. I had to do so much research for this. SO MUCH RESEARCH IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY! I'VE BEEN STARING AT A MAP OF DISNEY WORLD FOR THREE WEEKS! I LISTENED TO "IT'S A SMALL WORLD" 30 TIMES! I'M PRACTICALLY THROWING UP RAINBOWS! I KNOW EVERY RIDE'S NAME AND THE HISTORY BEHIND IT! I now know more about Disney than I ever cared to.
But! This is something I've wanted to write about for years now. Disney is an American icon! It's everywhere! It's our childhood, our adult hood, our family! There's not a person in America who doesn't know the name Disney! And this is the 100th chapter guys. It has the most words, the most characters, and the most research out of all the chapters. I hope you guys enjoyed it, because I worked my butt off getting it done. So, with this, let me just say thank you. Thank you for staying with me through 100 amazing chapters, for over three years. Let me just say that this fandom is one of the best on the site. You guys inspire me, and lift my spirts, and I hope I do the same for you guys. I'm so glad to write for you all. But that doesn't mean the story is over. Nope, we still got so much more to talk about. And on that note, I'm going to say goodnight. I've got more chapters to work on.
I don't own the Hetalia Characters or any of the Disney things I mentioned above. You can view any of rides I mentioned above on youtube.
