Another chapter…
Aria: What's wrong?
I got in trouble at school because the teacher walked over and saw I wasn't writing notes.
Aria: That's rough.
Yeah, my notebook almost got confiscated.
Hannah: How'd you get it back?
The ball rang and I was outta there fast than an Italian on lunch break :D
Britony: *facepalm* Just get on with the story
Ja!
Reina woke up the next morning feeling considerably better than yesterday. She sat up and stretched her arms. Twirling her hair, which had long since returned to its natural dark brown color and had grown somewhat longer, she walked over to her dresser. She pulled on a t-shirt that had an ice cream cone screaming 'YOU MONSTER!' at the sun as it melted along with blue jean capris and black knee-high converse. She walked over to Aria's bed and pulled back the covers, and was surprised to find the eccentric girl gone. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen to see Austria cooking.
"Good morning." Reina greeted, trying to be as formal as possible around the fancy Austrian. He acknowledged her and returned to cooking. Reina sat down and patiently waited for breakfast to be served.
After breakfast, Aria still hadn't shown up, and a quick questioning revealed that Britony, Hannah, or any of the countries didn't know where she was either. Reina began to wander around the large house in search of Aria, passing the pool, several bedrooms, a living room, and a patio until she finally ended up in the library which was like a larger version of the one at the Biltmore. She walked through the shelves, pulling out random books and looking through them. Reina continued picking through the lines of bookcases until she came to a large opening with brown leather chairs. She walked closer and saw a figure curled up in one of the chairs. Upon further inspection, she realized it was Aria. She was still in her pajamas, a black tank-top with pants imprinted with Snoopys. She was reading a large book without any lettering on it. Reina walked over and looked over Aria's shoulder, frowning at finding that the book wasn't in English. Stupid bilingual Aria.
"Whatcha reading?" Reina intentionally disrupted Aria, who jumped and glared at being disturbed.
"I don't really know. I think it's some kind of legend or fantasy." She replied, looking back down at the book.
"Hey guys. You found the library?" Britony emerged from among the rows of bookcases. Reina nodded and Aria ignored her to continue with her story. Eventually the Britony and Reina got bored and got books that were in English and began to read. The trio read until one o'clock when Hannah came to get them.
"Guys? It's time to go." She said, stepping into the room. The three remained reading until Hannah confiscated their books to get their attention. "I said it's time to go." Hannah repeated. Aria, Reina, and Britony cocked their heads in confusion. Hannah face palmed.
"The Great Wall of China stupids." She said. The girls let out 'Oh's and got up from their chairs, almost falling down again from being stiff for so long. They walked back down the long hallway to the living room where there were a few of the countries that had gathered.
"Where's everyone else?" Aria asked.
"They said you were taking too long and already left." Liechtenstein said. She was wearing her usual pink dress with her purple bow. Aria and the others felt underdressed in sweatpants, jeans, tennis shoes, and t-shirts.
"Oh, then we can go now can't we?" Reina asked. The countries nodded and walked out the door. The group was made up of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Germany, Russia, Canada, Japan, Poland, and Lithuania.
"Ok, her we are- HIT THE DECK!" Britony screamed and everybody dropped to the ground. A barrage of nerf bullets whizzed by their heads.
"Kesesese! Suck it losers!" they heard Prussia yell. He then bolted away in search of other targets when Switzerland pulled out a real gun of his own. The rest of the group got off the ground as Sealand ran over to them.
"What's going on here?" Hannah asked.
"Nerf war! Here's your weaponry!" Sealand said, handing everyone nerf guns that seem to have appeared from nowhere. "Everyone for themselves!" Sealand told them before running off. The group stood there for a second before separating to find various hiding places or shoot somebody. Hannah hid in a barrel, Reina found a small cubicle in one of the towers where she could snipe, Aria climbed into a large bush, and there was a small platform jutting out from the wall where Britony hid.
*Following- Hannah*****
Hannah had by now heard several steps pass by her hiding place, and a distant scream where she assumed Italy had been found. Suddenly her barrel started shaking and she toppled over. She felt the barrel of a nerf gun on the back of her head and held her hands up in defeat.
"You got me."
*Following- Reina*****
Reina had sniped several people, including America, Spain, Romano, Poland, and Estonia. America had tried to walk away like nothing happened because he could spot Reina, but she shot him again.
"Fine! I'm dead!" America threw his hands up and went over to the main building where the 'dead' people were. Reina snickered and Russia came into sight.
'If I get Russia, I'll be the ultimate sniper! I wonder if I'll get ice cream…' Reina thought as she aimed her nerf gun. She stopped dead in her tracks as Russia looked straight at her. She felt the pressure of a gun barrel at the back of her head.
"Darn it."
*Following- Aria*****
Aria had just watched Reina get caught, but couldn't see who had gotten her. Russia looked around once more before walking off. Aria let out a breath that she didn't know she had been holding. She sat in silence, waiting for someone to pass by when her stomach grumbled. Food crossed through her mind, and she wandered if it would be okay to go get food from the main building. She peered out of her bush and, deciding that it was safe, stealthily made her way towards the main building. She walked over to the food court, picked a random restaurant, and ordered the only thing she knew how to in Chinese; pizza. She walked over to a table to sit and eat when she heard her name being called. She turned and saw and approaching America and Canada.
"Hey America. Hey Canada." Aria greeted as they approached. America looked confused and turned around, spotting his brother.
"Oh, hey Canada! When did ya get here bro?" America said, slinging his arm around his brother's shoulders. Canada and Aria face palmed.
"I've been here the whole time, America." Canada said, clutching Mr. Kumajiro tightly. America seemed to contemplate this for a minute before shrugging it off.
"Whatever. How'd you die, Aria?" America asked, ignoring his brother's presence once more.
"I haven't gotten out yet, I just wanted food. I ninja'd in here to get pizza." Aria explained, holding up her pizza. America nodded.
"Shoulda gotten a burger, dude. But whatever, you better get hiding soon before you get shot out in the open. That would be the lamest way to die." America advised. He turned and walked away, with Canada trailing behind him calling a 'good luck' over his shoulder. Aria took the former soldier's advice and finished her pizza quickly to get back to her hiding spot. She slithered quietly over to the bush and backed into it, not bothering to look inside. She hit something and turned around to see what it was, but the barrel of a gun pressed to her head prevented her from doing anything.
"So close."
*Following- Britony*****
Britony stood on her ledge in complete silence. She had yet to shoot anyone from her position, but she heard several footsteps pass by her on their way to shoot someone. She thought she was doing pretty well, considering that the point of the game is to survive. Britony sat with her back against the wall and breathed. Getting bored, she climbed over the side of the wall to look for somebody to shoot. She blended into the shadows, walking stealthily and pausing every now and then to listen for approaching footsteps. Britony walked for a while until she saw a wooden crate in the middle of the walkway. It had the word 'TOMATO' written across it in big, bold letters. Britony sighed.
"I know you're in there Italy." Britony called. The crate shook. Britony pulled on the lid until it popped open.
"AH!" Italy screamed "Please don't shoot me! I'm too young to die, and what if I don't die and but am just mortally wounded and forced to lie there in misery in a pool of my own blood? Please, I'll do anything-well, I mean within reason- I don't want to diiiie-" Italy's rant was cut off by Britony slapping her hand over his mouth to shut him up. Her eyebrow was twitching with frustration.
"Sorry dude, gotta shoot you." She said as she lifted the nerf gun to his head. His eyes shot open and he began waving a white flag around frantically. Britony sighed and let him go. "Just go back to the main building and tell them I shot you so you don't have to say that you surrendered in a nerf gun war." Britony told him. Italy climbed out of the box and dashed off at an incredible speed towards the main building. Britony turned once he had disappeared from sight and started walking downhill.
After a while, she heard a rumbling noise from behind her. She turned and saw a barrel rolling down the hill towards her. Britony didn't react fast enough and the barrel rolled into her at top speed. She was thrown to the side from impact and the barrel smashed into a wall. Inside was a sleeping Greece. He lifted his head drowsily and looked at Britony. He pulled his gun and shot a nerf bullet at her.
"You're… dead." He muttered, the laid back down to sleep.
"Crap."
*Following- EVERYONE!*****
As soon as Britony trudged in, everyone gathered in the lobby. They said the only people left out there were Greece, Russia, and Belarus. They waited for what seemed like hours until Greece walked through the door. Now the only people left were Russia and Belarus. Somehow, everyone knew how this was going to end.
Sometime later Belarus walked in, signaling that Russia had won. Everyone crowded outside to wait for him to find his way back. One of the countries pointed upwards telling everyone to look. Falling from the sky was none other than Russia, his long scarf trailing behind him.
"VODKAAAA!" he yelled as he plummeted to the ground. Everyone was hoping that he had actually remembered his parachute this time, and luckily he did. He floated down to the ground, almost landing on Latvia.
"Yay! He didn't die! Or break his back this time!" Reina cheered. As a reward, Russia got sunflowers. They refused to present him with vodka, for they were all planning to live through the night.
"That was fun!" Hannah fist pumped the air.
"Ohonhonhon, not as much fun as we can have at my house." France creeped (I'm sorry, it's just that he hasn't done something pervy this chapter… and.. I was bored, okay?). Hannah squeaked ad elbowed France in the stomach, almost causing him to fall off the wall. "Watch where you push people!" France yelled to Hannah. Hannah just stuck her tongue out in reply.
"You should be happy that the writer let you live!" Hannah yelled back.
"HANNAH!" Aria stared in shock.
"What?"
"Don't break the fourth wall!"
"Sorry.." Hannah apologized. Aria, Reina, and Britony shook their heads and walked after China.
TIME SKIP
"I DON'T WANT TO!" Aria kicked away at Reina. It was finally time for them to leave and go meet Italy and Germany, and Aria still refused to get on the plane.
"You'll get pasta on the plane." Hannah said.
"I want pancakes." Aria demanded. Reina face palmed.
"We don't have pancakes. We have pasta and tomatoes." Reina told her. Aria shook her head and clutched tighter to the bedpost she was holding onto. "Sunflowers?"
"Nyet."
"Wurst?"
"Nein."
"Burgers?"
"No."
"That fancy French pastry that kind of looks like a rolled up scone?"
"Non."
"Then I give up. Germany, can you just carry her onto the plane? She'll pass out sooner or later." Reina let go of Aria and Germany stepped up. He began to pry at the arms wrapped tightly around the bedpost. No luck, so America tried. Then Russia. Then Switzerland tried to pry her off with one of his guns. Nobody could get her to let go of her lifeline.
"Ve~ let me try!" Italy chirped. He walked up and began to pull at Aria's arms. After that failed, he moved onto plan B. He tickled her. At first she didn't respond, but then she started shaking. Then muffled laughter came from her. Eventually she trembled with laughter and she fell apart from the bedpost. Everyone stared at the giggling Aria on the floor.
"You just did something the strongest countries couldn't do." Reina said in awe. Italy just smiled and went off to the kitchen to make pasta. Aria had somehow fallen asleep, so Germany had to carry her onto the plane. "Ok, so that's done. What do we do now?" Reina asked once they were on the plane.
"We end the chapter!" Hannah exclaimed. Britony smacked her on the back of the head.
"Again with the fourth wall!"
"Sorry…"
What was with the fourth wall?
Hannah: Well, she asked what we should do now…
Reina: Yeah, but that doesn't give you permission to break the fourth wall twice in one chapter!
Hannah: Sorry.
Britony: You should be.
Aria: Whatever. Just get on with the next chapter. I'm sleeping.
Yeah, yeah.
Canada, can you do the disclaimer?
Canada: Sure… Death Note Gal of Tomatoes does not own Hetalia or any of the characters, only her four OC's Aria, Reina, Britony, and Hannah.
Good job. Here's some pancakes.
Mr. Kumajiro: Who are you?
HE'S CANADA YOU LITTLE PUFFBALL!
