Chapter 21: Elise Beats Up Gilbert's Bully

One day, in the kindergarten class at Hetalia Elementary School, Gilbert and his friends, Francis and Antonio, were running around the classroom during playtime. Gilbert then climbed up on one of the chairs and struck a victorious pose.

"I'm the King of the awesomest country in the world! Prussia!" the youngest of the Bad Friends Trio said proudly. "All shall bow before me!"

"Hey, Beershit," a voice called out to Gilbert.

Gilbert sighed. "What is it, Viktor?" he said in an annoyed tone. "And you will address me as King Gilbert."

"I'm not addressing you as anything but Beershit," Viktor Krum said rudely. "What makes you think you're king of that stupid dead country anyway?"

"Hey!" Gilbert yelled, jumping down from his "throne". He got in Viktor's face. "First of all, Krum," he continued, "I'm part Prussian! My mom's mommy and daddy were born in Prussia! And second…Prussia's not dead! It's just invisible!"

Viktor stuck his tongue out at Gilbert and said, "Prussians are stupid."

This made Gilbert a little upset. Viktor saw this as an opportunity to further upset the boy.

"D'awwww, don't feel bad, Beershit," he said mockingly. "At least your country can now rest in peace…I mean pieces, Your Highness." Viktor, being the class bully, poked Gilbert in the forehead.

"Stop it," Gilbert whined. He looked as if he was about to cry.

"Viktor, por favor, stop picking on Gilbo," said Antonio.

"Oui, stop it," said Francis.

"Oh, I'll stop," said Viktor. "If you give me your lunch boxes, that is."

"Okay…" Francis said, not wanting Viktor to bully Gilbert any longer.

"No, Francis," said Antonio. "That's what he wants."

"Tony, just give him your lunch box," said Gilbert. He then handed over his Pikachu lunch box to the Bulgarian bully. Francis and Antonio complied as well, not wanting their friend to continue being bullied.

"Yeah!" Viktor exclaimed triumphantly as he snatched the lunch boxes away from the trio. "Give your king food!"

Francis, Antonio, and Gilbert spent the rest of the day miserable and hungry, due to Viktor eating their snacks.

Later, when Gilbert and his friends came home from school, they automatically went into their houses.

Elise was playing with little Ludwig when she heard the door open and close. She knew Gilbert was home from school.

"Hey, Gilbo," she said. "How was your day, sweetie?"

"Bad," Gilbert said. He plopped himself down on the couch next to his baby brother, who looked at him happily.

"Giwbo, Giwbo!" Ludwig said and clung to Gilbert.

"Hey, West," Gilbert said gently and messed up Ludwig's hair.

Just then, Gilbert heard the sound of the piano in the den being played. He knew who was playing it, too: his 14-year-old cousin, Roderich. The boy had come to live with the Beilschmidts early in the year, just after Roddy's parents died in an accident.

"Roddy, please stop playing," Gilbert called a little too angrily.

Roderich came out of the den and looked at the pouting boy on the couch. "What's wrong, Gilbo?" he asked, obviously confused.

"Viktor Krum picked on me today," said Gilbert.

"Viktor Krum?" said Elise. "Mila's son?"

"What did Viktor say?" asked Roderich.

"He said Prussians were stupid, and he mocked Prussia," Gilbert responded.

"Why that little…!" Elise began, but then regained her composure. "Um…well, Gilbo, you should just ignore Viktor," she told her older son. "I'll talk to his mom tomorrow."

"Okay," said Gilbert.

The next day, Gilbert was playing with Francis and Antonio. Viktor came up to them.

"So, shrimps," he said. "Where's your snacks? Huh?"

No response.

"Hey!" Viktor said, finally getting the boys' attention. "I said, 'Where's my snacks?'"

"Viktor, stop being a meanie," said Gilbert.

"Oh, you think I'm being a meanie, huh?" Viktor said. "I'll show you a meanie!" He then punched Gilbert in the face, giving him a black eye.

"Owwww!" Gilbert cried, tears leaking from his eyes.

"Teacher!" Francis and Antonio called.

"What's wrong?" asked the teacher.

"Viktor punched Gilbo," said Antonio.

"Oh my god," the teacher said. She went over to the two boys.

"Okay, Gilbo, let me see," she said gently, taking Gilbert's hand off his right eye and revealing the bruised and swollen eye.

"It hurts, Teacher," Gilbert whimpered.

"It's okay," said the teacher. She turned to Francis and Antonio. "Boys, could you take Gilbo to the nurse?" she asked.

"Okay," said Francis. He and Antonio led Gilbert to the nurse's office while the teacher dealt with Viktor. Germania, who wasn't doing anything, came to pick up Gilbert and bring him home for the day.

Germania pulled into the driveway. He and Gilbert got out and went into the house.

Elise was feeding Ludwig and watching TV when she looked and saw Germania and a teary-eyed Gilbert.

"Oh my gosh!" she said. "Gilbo, what happened?" Elise noticed Gilbert's black eye.

"Viktor beat me up," Gilbert replied.

"I can't believe you're just letting that kid beat you," Roderich scolded; he was very mad that Vash Zwingli got him in trouble and suspended from school for the day. "I mean, you're a Beilschmidt, for God's sake!"

"Roderich, don't talk to your cousin like that," said Germania. "Listen, someone should go talk to Viktor."

"I'll go talk to him," said Elise. "Here, watch Lui for me." She handed the baby to her father-in-law and left the house.

Elise arrived at the Krum's house and rang the doorbell. Viktor's parents, Damyan and Mila, answered.

"Hi," said Elise. "I'm one of your neighbors, and your son beat up my older son at school today."

"Oh my," said Mila. "So your kid's the one who Viktor beat up?"

"They're not getting along?" asked Damyan.

"No, I'm afraid not," said Elise. "I was just wondering if I could talk to your son for a couple minutes."

"Sure," said Mila. "He's up in his room."

Elise went up to Viktor's room, where the boy was playing with Lego's.

"Hi, Viktor," she said. "I'm Gilbert Beilschmidt's mother."

"'I'm Gilbert Beilschmidt's mother'," Viktor said, mimicking Elise.

"Hey, that's not very nice," Elise said. "I don't sound like that at all. You're making me sound like Kagome Higurashi from Inuyasha. Look, I just wanted you to know that what you did today was wrong."

"'What you did today was wrong'," Viktor responded.

"You're not making this easy, Viktor," said Elise.

"'You're not making this easy, Viktor'. I'm Elise Beilschmidt, and I'm a big, ugly, dumb buttface."

"Shut up, Viktor!" Elise said angrily.

"My name's Elise Beilschmidt, and I'm a dorky, stupid numbnuts," Viktor said in a rude voice.

"Viktor, I said shut up!" said Elise.

"You're a poopnose," said Viktor. Boy, did he cross the line that time!

Elise got really mad at this last comment and beat up Viktor until he was laying on the floor, crying. She then snuck out of Viktor's bedroom window, ran back to the Beilschmidt house, and sat down on the couch next to her sons and nephew. She saw that Claus had just come home from work.

"Hey, Auntie," said Roderich.

"Hey, Roddy…" Elise said nervously. "Sooo…what's going on?"

"Is something wrong?" Roderich asked.

"No, no," said Elise, looking straight ahead. "Everything…everything's cool right now…Might be some problems later, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Just then, the phone rang.

"Hello?" said Claus. After a couple seconds: "Elise did what?"

Elise then stretched and got up. "Well, I best be heading to the store," she said.

"But the store's closed," said Roderich, checking the time.

"Boy, you said it. Alright, take it easy," said Elise. She then ran out of the house and up into a tree in the front yard.

Claus came out and looked up the tree.

"Elise, you get down from that tree this instant!" he said.

"No!" said Elise. "You're gonna yell at me!"

"You're damn right I'm gonna yell at you!" said Claus. "You beat up a 5-year-old boy!"

"He called me names!" Elise whined.

"You're 34, and you just assaulted our neighbor's child," said Claus. "This is a very serious situation."

"Maybe you should've married that Anya girl your mother introduced you to," said Elise. "Would that make you happy if she was your wife?"

"What?" asked Claus. He seriously didn't get why Elise said that.

"I'm going to prison, aren't I?" Elise asked.

Later, Claus dragged Elise over to the Krum's house and rang the doorbell.

"Now, Ellie, Damyan and Mila have agreed not to press charges if you apologize to Viktor," he told Elise.

"Fine," Elise said, pouting and not knowing why she had to apologize to Viktor, when Viktor should be apologizing to Gilbert.

Damyan and Mila answered the door and glared at Claus and Elise.

"Hi, Damyan, Mila," said Claus. "Ellie has something to say."

"Sorry," Elise mumbled incoherently.

"Say it right," Claus said firmly and grabbed his wife's ear.

"Ow ow ow! Sorry!" she said.

"Apology accepted," said Mila.

"Don't worry, it'll never happen again," said Claus.

"I'm sure it won't," Damyan said. He and Mila then closed the door on Claus and Elise, who went back to their house.
