I'm back and alive, and that's pretty much all the interesting-ness I have to say :D
Now, before I start Part. 5 I wanted to let you know that due to the time since the last update my writing style has changed a bit so the rest of the story may not fit 100% the style of the chapters before this one also chapters may be longer (ex. this chapter is 1,000 words minus the author's note).
ALSO, because I don't remember how to comment on replies
[Let's answer some fanmail/reviews]
Helsinki - Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I'm glad I was right on the coffee part and don't worry I won't tell Arthur. Also, I look forward to writing it - can't let all the knowledge I've acquired on Helsinki go to waste now can I?
The answer is ei! Btw ;)
Now- onto the story, cause I'm restless to start writing chapter six :D
Switzerland woke up to light, but when he looked at his watch, it was midnight. Curious, he poked his head out into the hallway, the hallway looked the same was it had been that afternoon.
"It's the midnight sun." A voice said.
"Hmm?" Switzerland looked over to see a silhouette of a figure standing by the window.
"You don't know much about Scandinavia, do you?" Estonia said, staring out the window, "Don't bother answering because you don't." He said cutting of Switzerland and turning to face him, "Yes, it seems like you and Finland are friends, but you're not really… Honestly, what do you know about friendship?"
Switzerland blinked, this was a different side of Estonia, "Ah... I think that we should be getting to bed now."
Estonia shook his head slightly as if to recompose himself, "Of course, but Switzerland, remember you'll never replace me…."
Switzerland frowned, great something to keep him up at night, not that he really slept.
The night was quiet, and the air full of silent energy and one thing that Switzerland forgot about was that the midnight sun was out, which means that Finns didn't sleep in the summer- or at least not that much. So he was confused as to why he was being yanked out of the warm bed at 2 in the morning to go to the sauna.
A Finn, Swede, Swiss and an Estonian walked into a sauna it sounded like a joke, but it was his reality- and they were a great company. They spent a few hours there before heading home. Finland served hot chocolate- with coffee in it. Sweden left around four in the morning to walk across the Baltic; however, that worked…Estonia was busy had some time to himself since Norway was still asleep he and Finland spent the time reading books. Finland gave Switzerland a book too. However they talked more then they learned,
"Ah, there's soo much here to go do in such a short period. Where do you think I should take Switzerland first, Estonia?"
"I was thinking to save the church for Sunday. I definably want to take him to Market Street, but maybe it'll be best to wait until later." Estonia looked up, "Perhaps that may be the best idea."
"Then it's settled we'll go to the church on Sunday, and then we can go to Market street, so maybe I'll take Switzerland too. Perhaps we should head up to the north to the stone arches. What do you think about Estonia? Maybe we can go up to the beach..."
The two continued going back and forth. Switzerland pretended to read the book that Finland had plopped into his hands, but continued to listen in on the conversation.
Around the four he retired for a couple of hours of sleep, which turned into one when Finland interrupted his sleep with excited knocks. Switzerland woke up to light knocking could be heard from the door, "Good morning, Switzerland!" Finland's friendly voice called, "I brought you breakfast!"
Switzerland groaned and hid under the blankets; the sun was always shining here during the summer. The sun shone here even more than it did in Spain. He had a dream where Finland quizzed him on Finnish history, he peeked his head out from the sheets and looked at the nightstand covered in notes and books- maybe it wasn't a dream. Switzerland made the mistake of letting him in as Finland was immediately pouring coffee and Switzerland began talking about all the plans he had for them. How could someone be such a morning person?
"I made you a cup of coffee Switzerland; I've already had another sup with Sweden before he left." While Finland continued to go on about coffee, and down two cups thus giving him the answer."And that's how you make good Finnish coffee,"
Finland said as he walked down the stairs Switzerland at his heels. Estonia was better adjusted than and was still on the sofa in the living room reading. What all Estonia did was smile and wave as the excited Finn yanked him out the door. Helsinki was a lot bigger than Bern, and by the time Switzerland and Finland got to the door, Finland had already told him a week's plan worth of activities that he wanted to fit in one day...Before Switzerland knew it, he was being pulled into the center of Senate Square and pulled down the giant steps. "Come on! We'll be late for the train, and then we'll have to wait again for the next train!"
"Where are we going?" Switzerland asked stumbling to catch up with the energetic Finn, how much cups of coffee did he say he had again?
Finland's face brightened, "Oh, where are we NOT going is a better question and much easier to answer! But first, the Arches. I think you'd be interested in it. They're in north Helsinki, not far from here if we can catch the next train we should be there in an hour."
Next thing he knew he was seated and waiting for a train in a station, with a train ticket to North Helsinki in one hand and eating rye bread Finland had brought in the other.
I'm not 100% sure yet when I will update next, but it will be this week, so look forwarded to chapter 6!
Moi moi ~
