"Maaan, this is hella boring! Are we there yet?"
"America-san, we reft the main station rike ten minutes ago."
"What, for reals? Feels more like an eternity to me!" America whined. He shuffled impatiently in his seat, throwing accusing glances out of the window from time to time. As if he was personally holding the scenery outside responsible for not moving faster beside them. England, who had been trying to read a spellbook to find a worthy magic trick for his performance shot a nasty glare at the hyperactive american.
"If you can't even bear a short distance like that, you shouldn't have invited yourself in, bloody yank!" Prussia chuckled at that and pulled England closer to his side.
"Aww, leave him alone babe. Poor kid is bored out of his vits, can't jou see?" England blushed heavily at Prussias obvious sign of affection and just buried himself deeper in the book.
"Please don't call me 'babe' in front of everyone. I'm a man." he muttered almost inaudible. Prussia only snickered more.
"So dude, Prussia, was it? Are you going to perform anything on your little bros big day? Like a speech or something?" America asked, curiously leaning closer. Almost everyone in the cabin mentally facepalmed. Prussias grin dropped immediately. Without answering, he stood up aprubtly and shoved the cabin door open, almost breaking it in the process.
"I'm gonna get some food." he snapped and left. America blinked confused.
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked the rest of the group. England sighed and clapped his book shot.
"Yes, you did. But it's not really your fault, though. Currently, every topic concerning the wedding is dangerous territory." America blinked again.
"Huh? Why?"
"Prussia's upset because Germany hasn't told him anything about the wedding beforehand." Canada explained to his brother. America raised an eyebrow.
"That's all? What's the big deal with that? Germany's a grown man, he can make his own decisions, can't he?"
Canada shook his head.
"It's not like that. I think Prussia is just scared of the thought that Germany might slowly distance himself from him."
"Oh, so it's kinda like with England and me?" America asked.
"Except Prussias issues wizh zhe wedding are a bit more delicate zhen Angleterres possesiveness." France pointed out smiling. England angrily turned his head toward France.
"Shut up, bloody frog! I wasn't being possessive, I merely feared for his well-being!"
"Oui oui, just keep telling youselve zhat, Angleterre."
"At least I tried to raise my colony! You just left Canada alone all day!"
"And now look what a gorgeus young man he became. Ozher zhen zhis burger-lover over zhere."
"Hey! I can hear you, you know?"
When Prussia came back with a few chocolate bars in his hands, the fight was already ongoing, despite Japans and Canadas desperate efforts to calm everyone down.
Aside from a few fights and slip of the tounges from Americas side, the rest of the journey went peaceful. Somehow everyone managed to avoid the topic and so Prussia was able to be in a good mood again. Eventually they arrived at the austrian border.
"Oye! What's that supposed to mean?" Spain asked, looking out of the window. The rest of the group turned their heads and tried to see what he meant. Stationed right on the border were a colossal number of german and austrian soldiers, all heavy armed. England frowned.
"I don't know, but I suppose we're going to find out." America gave the solemn looking faces of the soldiers an uncomfortable glance. Two of them, both wearing the uniform of a general, stepped right in front of the train and raised their hands in a halting gesture. The train got slower and came to a stop.
Both of the generals gave a quick nod to the soldiers behind them. A small brigade form the german and the austrian squad distanced itself from their respective groups and followed their leaders, who were preparing to step aboard the train. "Are they here...for us?" Canada stuttered. He looked clearly frightened. Prussia shrugged.
"Most likely. Since ve're zhe only ones on zhis train." The cabin door opened and the generals stepped inside, while the other soldiers guarded the door. The austrian general saluted quickly to the men before him.
"Sirs! My apologies for interrupting jour travel, but ve've been assigned to check everyone and everything zhat vants to cross zhis border for zheir identity." America frowned at that.
"The hell? Don't you guys recognize a country when you see one? I understand how you totally distrust the others, but I'm the freakin' hero! Everybody knows me!"
"Shut up, America." the others said in unison. America pouted and leaned back in his seat, arms crossed in a childish manner.
Everyone reached inside their trunks and showed their passes to the generals. Both of them looked at the passports ndded and handed them back after that. The german general stepped forward. He also gave a quick salute, but it took him a while to start speaking as if he was uncomfortable with what he was going to say. "My apologies as vell but...ve've also been ordered to do a body check on each of zhe guests. I must ask jou all to undress."
"Say vhat?!" Prussia screeched. He pulled England closer to him, a protective look on his face. Japans face had gone bright red at the generals demand and his hands were clutched tightly around his kimono.
"Hey! No one's allowed to undress Japan, except for me!" America shouted angrily. The general sighed heavily and put his hand on his forehead in exhaustion.
"Sirs, please! I assure jou, nozhing vill happen to any of you! It's just a mere precautionary measure. Please don't make zhis harder zhen it is." It took a lot of encouraging, begging and bribering on the generals behalf until everyone finally agreed to the body check, although Japan insisted that his would be done in a different cabin.
After the generals had convinced themselves of the groups harmlessness, they bid their farewells and got off. The train continued. For a while, nobody spoke a word. As usual, America was the one to break the silence. "What the heck was that about? They acted like I was totally suspicious and a bad guy!"
"I'm sure zhey're just bringing up zhe regulary precautions, Amerique. Important occasions like zhis one always attract zhe strangest people." France said calmly. He seemed to be the only one who hadn't been affected or insulted by the body check performed on him a few minutes ago. America looked like he was going to say more but then he suddenly jumped up and pressed his face onto the window.
"Guys, guys look! We're here!" he shouted. His eyes beamed with excitement. The train slowed down and came to a halt in front of the train station. America frowned when he noticed the station was also filled with soldiers. But he quickly changed back to his normal self and dashed out of the almost open train doors, completely forgetting about his luggage. Japan sighed at his boyfrineds jumpiness and grabbed both his and Americas trunks.
"Seems like we've arrived. I can't wait to start with the preparations." Canada smiled.
"And I can't vait to give a certain someone a piece of my mind." Prussia growled and pushed past the others onto the station.
