Another bonus! This time, it's two-for-one.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything you recognise. Really I don't.

XI: Insanity

Characters/Pairings: Turkey, Greece

Genre: Humour

Rating: K

Warnings: Human names used, overused meme being beaten to death.

Sadiq couldn't believe that that arrogant whelp had beaten him. "This is insanity! This is madness!" he cried.

Heracles shook his head. "No… this. Is. SPARTA!" he yelled as he kicked Sadiq in the ribs and ran off for some quiet time alone with his cats.

A/N: Sparta would be Greece's right foot, in my headcanon. (What? If America's cowlick is Nantucket, can't Greece's right foot be Sparta?)

XXXIV: Stars

Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Angst?

Rating: T

Warnings: Human names used, Alfred's potty mouth.

Alfred F. Jones looked to the stormy night sky over the island, and shuddered as the heavens opened up and the rain soaked him within minutes.

Christ, he hated this war – the endless fighting, how the islands were too damn hot in the day and too cold at night, how the fucking Japs burrowed into the island like a bunch of rabbits, never giving him or his boys a moments rest. God, he was tired…

His thoughts started drifting over to the opposite side of the world, over to England. He wondered how Arthur was doing over there, up against that stupid kraut. For all the grief he normally gave Arthur, he really hated being away from him for a long time.

And the war had being going on for a very, very long time.

Alfred eventually noticed the drone of planes passing overhead, as well as their blinking lights – he had no idea if they were his boys' or Kiku's, and he didn't really care. He decided to pretend the airplanes were shooting stars – after all, it wasn't like there were any out right at that moment anyway.

He kept watching them until they were out of sight, and then wished with every fiber of his being that the war would be over soon, so he could go and see Arthur again.

Idea for the last taken from B.O.B.'s "Airplanes". I don't own that, either.

Review, please!
