Chapter 2
"I can't believe it snowed…I never want that stuff to come to my house again!" Seychelles complained as she leaned onto the table in front of her. There was still a few minutes before the world meeting, so she and some of the other younger nations were spending the time talking.
"I'm surprised you're here if you're as sick as you sound," Iceland commented as Taiwan simply gave the other girl a sympathetic smile. General winter had just left Seychelles' house with a blizzard a couple of days ago, causing the tropical nation to still have a cold.
"Like you two are ones to talk. I've seen you guys here while looking just as sick," Seychelles persisted.
"True, but I'm pretty sure if you asked England or France they'd let you go back to bed and give you copies of their notes. If we asked our brothers on the other hand, we'd probably be told to take some over the counter stuff and bear with it," Iceland replied.
Seychelles looked as if about to say something else, but instead sneezed. The meeting was then called into order, so the group took their respective seats. As Iceland sat down, however, he realized that the other Nordics were not going to let this be a typical, boring meeting.
He realized this first by the fact that Finland was wearing gloves, something he almost never wore, and seemed to be holding some shiny object. Upon seeing this, Denmark became curious and wanted to see what Finland had; but Finland refused to willingly show the Dane. Due to this, Denmark was currently laying and struggling from atop Sweden's lap in a desperate attempt to get close enough to pry the object from Finland.
At last Sweden grew tired of this and roughly tossed Denmark back into his correct seat. With this done he looked over at Finland's hands to see what he was holding, only to look hurt when Finland refused to show him too.
"What's going on with them?" Iceland asked Norway as he noticed more and more people look at the other three.
"Apparently Finland found something and does not want to share," Norway answered.
"Which is totally stupid. Come on Fin, Show and tell! Show and tell!" Denmark demanded, drawing more attention to them. In return Finland simply gave him a glare which looked terrifying on the usually happy face and told him to shut up.
"Hey, guys, what exactly are you talking about?" America asked, not at all used to people other than England interrupting his speech.
"Hmm, now that I think about it you never did tell me if you found anything like you said you would," Russia commented as he walked up behind Finland to try seeing what he had.
"What were you supposed to find?" Estonia asked his friend, now also interested.
Seeing that now much of the other nations were looking at him, he sighed and said, "Well, since Russia's General Winter friend has been travelling he hit my house. And curious about why he went up there I decided to check for myself."
"Ugh, don't remind me of that winter guy! Because of him the industry in North Dakota will be reeling for months," America complained with an agreed nod from Canada, who was also hit by the same storm.
"So did you find something?" New Zealand asked. He was also hit by a storm, and was curious if the other nation had found something important.
"Well…I found what looked like a buried nest…," Finland began tentatively. He then looked down at his hands when he heard something almost like a blizzard followed by the egg turning frigid.
"A nest? Just a nest?" England asked.
"…And, an egg," Finland answered as he carefully held the egg up for the others to see. At that moment, a crack appeared in the egg, followed by snow seeming to come out of nowhere!
"No! Not again," Seychelles moaned as she huddled deeper into her sweater.
"What the hell is this?!" Germany asked as he watched the room become filled with snow.
"I guess this is what was inside the egg," was all Finland could say as he and everyone else watched the snow slowly stop appearing followed by melting due to the original temperature of the room.
Finland then looked down at his hands where the egg was to find a small snowman, about only eight inches tall. Curious, he moved his hands so that it rested in only one palm, and with the other tapped at the snowman's head. To everyone's surprise, a noise came from the snowman, followed by a sneeze which sent the snowman apart only to be replaced by a little, blue boy with large ears and milky blue eyes.
The bluish-purple ears twitched as they heard the gasps from the rest of the room, followed by the boy - since Finland could easily tell it was a boy - to move his head around in the direction of the voices. At last the boy brought his attention back to Finland and tentatively tried to get to his feet. Using a finger Finland gave for support, the small child got to his feet and smiled up at Finland.
"Ah, Finland, what the hell is that?" Denmark asked as he got out of his seat once again to look at the creature. Soon several of the other nations were out of their seats to also get a better look.
"I don't know," Finland answered as he and the others watched it sit back down on Finland's hand while still holding the finger.
"It's sort of cute," Japan commented, only to look slightly concerned when the creature made a face as if to cry. In all honesty, hatching to find oneself surrounded by a bunch of giants talking loudly was frightening the poor creature, and still being very young the only thing he could think to do was cry for help. Instead of crying tears, however, his cries made it begin to snow again.
"No, no, little one, you don't want to make snow inside, it's alright," Finland began in a hope of calming the child before he started a snowstorm. Eventually the child did calm and hug tighter at Finland.
"Vee, I wonder what was wrong?" Italy asked as he watched the snow stop.
"Maybe he's upset since it's now cold in here and he's naked?" Liechtenstein replied, causing Switzerland to then throw a fit and the meeting to devolved into much arguing, talking, and the child to make it snow twice more.
At last it was decided for the meeting to end for the day, mainly since no work was being done and the room needed to be dried. With the meeting over, Finland carefully carried the little boy, who was now using a handkerchief as a form of clothing, outside then to his hotel room.
"You know, maybe you really shouldn't keep that thing," Denmark commented as the Nordics sat collectively in the room.
"But he's so little, I can't just leave him somewhere alone!" Finland protested.
"I agree with Finland... Since he seems to be the only thing to calm the child down it would be bad for anyone else if the child was left alone," Norway commented.
"If Fin wants to keep him I'm fine with it," Sweden agreed.
"Hey, do we even know what it is?" Iceland asked.
"For starters, it's a he. Besides that...no idea," Finland admitted.
"He kind of seems similar to General Winter. You know, in the snow everywhere kind of way," Denmark commented.
"The two are probably connected. We just need to find out how," Norway continued.
"Random thought, but what if there are more of these little guys?" Iceland asked. After all seven other blizzards had appeared, so there was still that possibility. The idea caused the others to pause, followed by Norway commenting, "Perhaps we should tell the others of this possibility tomorrow."
"So there could be more little snow monsters…great," Demark pouted as he looked squarely at the child and caused him to whimper and hold onto Finland tighter.
"Yes, there could be so I suppose you should get used to at least this one," Finland countered defensively; already in protective guardian-mode for the child.
"Let me guess you already even named him," Iceland guessed.
"Yep! From now on this little guy is called Pyry. Fits, don't you think?" Finland answered with a bright smile.
As a side note: Pyry is Finnish for blizzard
