Author's Note: In case anyone was wondering, the school district that the angels come from give them fake IDs and documents when they come to Earth. They're passable for real unless closely inspected by the police.
Switzerland is an angel, but his human counterpart will not be mentioned at all since I couldn't think of how to include a fem or 2p Switzerland. This also applies to several other characters. Sorry about the long AN!
~Ivan~
"This is interesting, da?" Ivan asked Allan, who gave him a crooked smile in return.
"You can say that again." Allan nodded at the piece of paper in Ivan's hand.
The office had called them down and told them their 'guardian', who was really their teacher Ancient Rome, had told them to read it at lunchtime. It read:
Dear Angels,
I hope you are enjoying your time on Earth! I have decided that, to involve you in the culture on Earth, the angels will be split into teams and will have to perform in the school talent show! Oh, if you do badly, you'll fail my class. Do try your best~
Team 1
Kiku Honda (Japan)
Alice Kirkland (Fem England)
Feliciano Vargas (North Italy)
Marguerite Williams (Fem Canada)
Francis Bonnefoy (France)
Team 2
Ivan Branginski (Russia)
Allan Jones (2p America)
Vash Zwingli (Switzerland)
Roderich Edelstein (Austria)
Jian Li (2p China)
You can also get help from humans if you want! Good luck now!
~Your Teacher, Rome
Ivan had called over the rest of the members in his team to sit at the same lunch table, so they could have a meeting and plan.
Roderich, apparently, had already put some thought in the matter. "Honestly, he didn't even tell us what we were supposed to do for a performance."
"It's better than him assigning us something stupid." Vash replied.
"Aiye." Jian narrowed his eyes. "I vote for having a swordfight."
"As much fun as it would be to kill each other onstage," Ivan began, "I somehow doubt the school would allow it."
Allan humphed and turned away. There was silence for a few moments, until Ivan smiled and exclaimed, "Why don't we have a magic show?"
Jian sighed. "I guess we could do worse."
"Wait," Vash cut in, "We shouldn't use our actual powers!"
"For once I agree with Vash. What if the humans realized who we were?" Roderich shivered slightly, imagining the wrath of his teacher.
Allan ignored him and said, "So that's settled. Besides, it'll be a cinch with our abilities."
~Kiku Honda~
Kiku, similarly, had gathered his team at a lunch table. He glanced around at his classmates, all of whom he knew, except for one.
"I read the letter, and though the be-"
"Excuse me, but who the heck are you?" Alice cut in.
"He's my friend, Ludwig! Ve~ he already knows we're angels!"
Kiku nodded. He knew Feliciano had been living on Earth for the past year to study human food, which was much more elaborate than in their world. Feliciano was still a student of Rome's, so it only made sense he would be forced to participate in this stupid assignment. Kiku supposed Feliciano had met Ludwig a while ago and trusted him enough to tell him what he was.
"As I was saying," Ludwig continued, "I think the best course of action would be to get help from humans. There are a lot of talented students here who would love to participate in the talent show, and give you an advantage."
"That makes sense." Marguerite, or Meg, said softly. Kiku was about to ask what they should do for the talent show when he felt an ominous, angry aura loom close to them.
"Yo, losers!" Alan laughed. "We're all set for the talent show! And we're gonna totally pown you!"
"I bet you guys don't even know what you're going to do." Jiang smirked.
Kiku could practically see Alice turning red from anger. "Oh yeah? Well, we're... we're... going to perform as a band!"
There was an audible gasp from Kiku's team, excluding Feliciano, who wasn't paying attention.
Roderich gave them dismissive glance. "Obviously, that's a horrible idea. You don't have enough people who know how to play instruments, and you have no idea what quality music is."
Alice looked as if she was going to argue, but closed her mouth when she realized the truth in Roderich's words.
"You guys are hopeless." Jian smiled evilly, then addressed his teammates. "These idiots aren't even worth our time!"
"Agreed~" Ivan said, and then started walking away. The rest of his team followed, laughing.
"Looks like we're starting a band." Ludwig glared at Alice, as if to criticize her for coming up with such a stupid idea. "Does anyone here play an instrument?"
Kiku spoke up. "Both Meg and I play the piano. Alice plays the guitar, and if I'm remembering correctly, Feliciano can play the harmonica."
Ludwig sighed. "We're going to need a heck lot of help to win this talent show."
~Alice Kirkland~
Alice grimaced, feeling hatred towards the whole world and herself.
But mostly herself.
It was her brash pride that caused her to offer to start a band, and now she had to suffer for it.
Ludwig had told her that they would need a bassist in the band, and a drummer. The only bassist he knew was Arthur, and Kiku said she should be the one to ask for his help. After all, Arthur was her counterpart, so they should get along. Right.
"So, um, Arthur." Alice said, coming to stand in front of his lunch table. It was filled with a bunch of quiet people reading.
"Hmm? What?" Arthur asked, looking up from his book.
"I heard you were a bassist." Dang it, this was bloody embarrassing! "And I was wondering if you would like to participate in the talent show with my friends and me."
"No thanks."
"Why the heck not?!" Alice burst out "Starting a band was a stupid idea, but now we're stuck with it. It's not like you have anything better to do anyway!"
Arthur seemed stunned at her display of frustration. "Well, I guess I might as well if it's that important." He cleared his throat. "You should be grateful I'm such a gentleman!"
Alice was quiet for a moment. "Thanks...I guess..."
Arthur's cheeks colored slightly. "You're welcome. Now let me eat my lunch in peace."
~Ludwig Beilschmidt~
"I'm sorry to ask this of you," Ludwig said to Alfred, "But would you be willing to help us perform in our talent show? We're in need of a drummer."
Alfred chewed through the rest of his hamburger at top speed before replying. "Sure! Sounds interesting!"
"Thank you," Kiku said, sounding relieved.
Ludwig, Kiku, and Feliciano were about to walk away before Alfred called them back.
"Oh, Matthew says he'll help to!"
"Really~?" Feliciano asked. "Does he play an instrument?"
Matthew shook his head. "No, but my friend used to be in a band. I should be able to help out a bit with the planning and such."
"That's great." Ludwig smiled. "Welcome to the team."
Author's Note: In the next chapter there's going to be 2p Japan and 2p Italy! I'm really excited to write about them, lol.
Once again, please review! It would be really helpful! :D
