Stupidity 101 Chp. 4 - Settling In And... Candy?
*Crash*
The front door was kicked in.
"Dudes! Check out my awesome house!" America screamed and a collective sigh went around.
"Yes, America. It's 'awesome'." Britain emphasized with air quotes. "But we sane people have jet lag and would like to pick a room and get some sleep. Now shut your bloody trap." He snap, annoyed.
"Dude, chill. It's only, like, six o'clock." he said as he smacked Britain on the back. "That's way too early to go to sleep!" he made wildly gestures, nearly smacking a few nations who were standing a bit to close.
"Six o'clock here, you wanker!" Britain all but screamed.
Before it could get any worse, Germany intervened.
"Hov about some of us prepare a meal vhile the rest pick rooms? By the looks of this house, some people vill have to share a room.." he suggested while looking around. Passing through a narrow hallway and into the large living room. The walls were coated with a nice navy blue, and the floor flourished with dark cherry wood. To his right was an unknown hallway cast in shadows. Ignoring it, he turned and looked further in to the main room. It seemed to have a comforting feeling. Two large French windows covered the whole center wall. Above it, a balcony with other doors further back with a staircase lining the right wall. The very far corner, where the right wall meets the center wall stood an open door to what he assumed was the kitchen entrance. On one of the walls was a gigantic moose head, which took him by surprise.
"I'll prepare dinner whilst everyone else gets their rooms." Britain declared.
"NO!" the nations yelled. Twilight and I looked at them, confused.
"Wait.. Why can't Britain cook dinner?" I asked.
"You don't want to know.." America stated beside us. I looked around the room.
"Then why don't the, uh, better cooks prepare the meal for tonight? How about…" Germany pointed to said individuals. "Italy, France, and China? You three are really good, right?"
I smiled. They smiled back and, France being France, kneeled before me. He took my hand and put it to his lips, looking up at me.
"Merci, mon cheri." He kissed my hand and I felt my face warm as I blushed. Then Britain slapped him upside the head, ruining the moment.
"Come on, you bloody frog. Get a move on. We're starving!" he yelled. France spitefully glared at the Brit. Then he looked back at me as he stood.
"I must bid you adieu, ma belle." France smiled charmingly. Italy,China, and him followed after America to the kitchen. I cradled the hand France had kissed close to my heart as I looked over at Twilight.
"Is it weird that I actually enjoyed that little.. Experience?" Twilight shrugged, and I dropped my hand. I looked around the room. "So.. Who's going to be the lucky few to have to share a room?" All was silent as everyone thought about it for a while, but it was pointless. Nobody had an clue.
"Maybe we courd draw straws?" Japan said. Some of the nations liked the idea, but not all of them. That's when it hit me.
"Hey! Why don't siblings room with siblings? I would be with Twilight, Italy would be with Romano, Germany with Prussia, and America with Canada. How does that sound?" I smiled.
"Vhat? I am not going to room vith Vest!" Prussia yelled.
"And why not?" I took my stance. "There's nothing wrong with Germany, right? So then, you're rooming with him!" I crossed my arms. Prussia's face reddened, but I couldn't tell if it was from anger or embarrassment.
"I.. I'll room vith someone, but not my little brother. He's not avesome enough." Prussia crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air like a small child. I sighed and placed a hand on my hip, then pointed at Spain.
"Well, I guess you could always room with Spain instead.."
"Fuck no!"
"Then you're rooming with Germany." Prussia's face reddened more, practical a tomato, I mused. He picked up his bag and started storming off.
"You may have von this time, but just vait! I'll invade your vital regions and then ve'll see vho's on top!"
"You won't be able to touch me." I said under my breath with a smirk. "Okay, Romano, you'll be with Italy. Canada's with America.. Sorry, Canada.. And I'm rooming with Twilight. Everybody else can have a room to themselves." Everybody soon started off to claim rooms as theirs and whatnot. Twilight and I also hurried upstairs. I knew Twilight, and she would want to see if there was a room with a balcony for easy roof access. After looking in about ten of the rooms, we found a big room. It had big beautiful French doors leading out to a balcony with two beds on either side of them. Each bed had a nightstand beside it with a lamp. To the right was a dresser with a mirror and a door leading to a walk-in closet. To the left was another dresser and mirror and another closet, but this side had a small couch. A painting hung above each bed; one of a bald eagle, the other of a buffalo. The walls were white and the floors were cherry wood here, too. However, there was a giant tacky green rug. I smiled over at Twilight.
"Looks like we found our new room, Twi." She smiled back at me, and began settling in. I sat my suitcases on the bed that I had claimed and turned back to Twilight. "Hey! I'm going to go exploring America's house! I'll be back, okay?" Twilight nodded and continued to unpack. I started for the door, but stopped and turned back to my bed. I grinned and looked at Twilight, who was staring at me in confusion.
"Twi! Can you move my suitcases? I wanna see something." Twilight moved one suitcase, then the other. I smirked and started running at the bed before throwing myself into the air and belly flopping. "Haha! It's so soft! Twilight! C'mere!" Twilight walked over to the bed and climbed on. We laid there and looked up at the ceiling for a while, just enjoying the softness of the bed.
"It's.. Nice." Twilight said quietly. I smiled and propped myself up on my elbows.
"Yours is probably just as nice! Why don't you try yours out while I go exploring?" Twilight nodded and we both slid off my bed. She walked to her bed and flopped onto it, and I could see her sink in a few inches. I giggled and started off to the door again. "Well, I'll be back later."
"Be.. Careful.." She mumbled. I looked back at her with a smile.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
FIVE METERS~~~~~DAT ASS~~~~~GEESE
I looked around me, not recognizing anything. I couldn't even hear anyone, which was unusual. All I knew was that this was the fourth floor. Twilight and I's room was on the second floor. I just didn't know how to get back there.. Then I heard a noise from close by.
"H-Hello?" I called out. There was no reply.. I kept walking down the hallway, looking for something or someone that might help me. As I was walking, I came across an open door. Somehow it must have opened on its own, and I could see some kind of strange screens and dashboards full of multicolor buttons. It looked like something out of a cheesy sci-fi film "Hello..?" I called out cautiously.
"Hello." A child-like voice said.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I screamed, running back the way I had come. It was safe to assume that I wasn't expecting a real answer. Running, and adrenaline from fear I ended up turning down hallways that just seemed to branch off into more hallways. I just ended up getting even more lost than I had been previously. Finally, I admitted defeat and slumped down to the floor. I was never going to find my way off this floor..
"Hello?" I heard the child-like voice say again. A shiver went up my spine.
"W-Who's there?" I stood up, looking down the three hallways; one before me and one to both my left and right. Wonderful, I, in my stupidity, had run a full circle. I squinted my eyes, looking ahead. At first, I saw nothing. Then, I saw the figure of something small walking slowly from the hallway. As it got closer, I could see it more clearly. A grey thing.. With big eyes..
"A-ALIEN!" I yelled, taking off down the right hallway like lighting. I was only scared of a few things in this world, and that little guy wasn't from this world.
"Bye-bye!" I heard the alien sing after me in that childish voice. I didn't spare a second glance behind me though, and instead continued to look in front of me as I ran. I ran for what seemed an eternity (really only ten minutes) down shadowy hallways in a quest for a set of stairs. I began to glance about, left and right, right and left, hoping that maybe they'd be blended into the surroundings. I don't know if it was because I had stopped looking ahead or a coincidence, but unexpectedly I hit something. Hard.
"O-Ow.." I looked down, holding onto my abused stomach, and saw that I had ran into the staircase's railing. "F-Finally! I thought I would NEVER find them!" I cheered and immediately ran down the stairs onto the third floor. Some of the other nations should be roomed on this floor. I was safe again. As I began walking I heard a crunch beneath my boot.
"Huh? 'Crunch'?" I looked down and lifted my foot to see a sole piece of candy, shattered into smithereens. "O-Oops.." Ahead another candy lay, and another beyond it, and so on. It made a little trail, not suspicious at the least. "Ooh! Free candy!" I immediately started down the trail, picking them up piece by piece and holding them in my shirt when they become too much for my hands.
Soon, I had so much that I had to cram some in my pockets. Determined, even though my methods of carrying were running out, I continued walking, picking up the candy, until suddenly-
"KYAAA!" a net sprang up from underneath me. I had walked straight into a trap. "Oh mein Gott.." I said, face-palming. "I'm so stupid.." I sighed and crossed my arms, then waited for somebody to come find me.
'Oh, wait! I have my pocket knife!' I reached into my pocket and took out my six inch blade pocket knife. Quickly, I began cutting the rope in two, but not quick enough, I'm afraid. Soon I heard and obnoxious laughter from behind me. 'Ah crap.. Not Him..'
"PIPIPIPIPI Hahaha! That's so not avesome!"
"Oh, shut it, Prussia.." I growled, cutting more. "Why don't you help me out of here instead of mocking me?" He seemed to find this funny and went into round of his annoying 'Kesesesese' laughter. While he was busy laughing himself into an idiot, I continued sawing my way through the rope. I succeeded in cutting through one, and started on the next rope.
"Kesese.. Okay, I'll help you." Prussia said. He dared another look at me. "Kesesesese!" And doubled over laughing again. I sighed, continuing with my cutting. I wanted to use some of my.. Colorful.. Language on him. But knowing that it wouldn't be likely to end well, I was nicer about stating my displeasure with him.
"Look, if you aren't going to be of any help to me, then either go away or go find someone who will." Prussia stared at me, burst out laughing again, then continued down to the second floor.
"Kesesesese! Good luck getting out of that net, Miss So Not Avesome! Pipipipihehahahaha!" I sighed and continued to cut my way through the rope.
FIVE METERS~~~~~DAT ASS~~~~~GEESE
"Finally out!" I sighed in relief as I stretched. The net had taken longer than I had expected to get through. I could hear people on the first and second floors below talking. I imagined dinner was ready seeing as I had to have spent a good amount of time on my little adventure. "Stupid Prussia.." I muttered and continued down the stairs until I reached the ground floor. I glanced around and followed the noise. Before long I found my way into the dining room, where everyone was seated around a big table filled with lavish-looking food. They all looked up at me.
"There you are! Where were you, dude?" America said through a mouthful of food. I put a hand on my hip and held up my other hand, in a fist.
"Well, first I went exploring," I said, holding up a finger. "then I got lost on the fourth floor," I held up two fingers. " after that I saw a creepy alien on said floor," three fingers. "found a trail of candy and followed it," four. "And then I got caught in a net and was forced to cut myself out with no help from Prussia." I held up five fingers and glared at the red-eyed German. He burst out laughing.
"Kesesesese! You should have saw the sight!" His laughter bellowed through the room. I glared harder and crossed my arms. Then I noticed Twilight wasn't down for dinner.
"Hey.. Twilight still in our room?" I asked. They all looked at each other, so I assumed that was a 'yes'. I turned and started for the staircase. "Be right back."
FIVE METERS~~~~~DAT ASS~~~~~GEESE
*Knock Knock*
"Hey Twi, it's me. Just thought I'd-" I stopped mid-sentence in disbelief at the sight before me. I couldn't believe my eyes. My older sister, Twilight, was on her bed with one of the nations'.. Cats. She had a smile that I hadn't seen for a while, and she was holding the cat as she jumped on her new bed –our way of breaking one in.
"It's cute..! And soft..!" She smiled down at me and stopped jumping. Instead she fell down onto the bed on her butt and slid off to walk over to me. I smiled and looked down at the little grey fuzz ball.
"Aww.. It's adorable!" I said. We stood there petting the cat for a few minutes, and I finally remembered. "Oh! By the way, Twi, dinner's ready. Oh, and also.." I walked to our dresser and started unloading the candy from all my pockets. Twilight's eyes widened. "I found all of this candy just randomly lying around. But trust me, if you see some, don't pick it up. Especially if it makes a trail!"
"Why..? What did you do..?" she asked. I blushed and looked away.
"Nothing. Long story. Now come on! The food will get cold! And that would be a shame! It looks wonderful!" Twilight smiled and nodded, and with the cat following close behind us, we made our way back downstairs.
FIVE METERS~~~~~DAT ASS~~~~~GEESE
"Ugh..! I'm so full! That was amazing you guys!" I patted my belly playfully.
"Of courze it would be! It waz prepared by ze finezt chefz of ze world, non?" France stated.
"Well, not the finest, but some of the best." I smiled. France looked kind of outraged by my comment. "You haven't tasted my cooking yet." I explained. They all turned their attention to me.
"That's true." America said. We sat around for a few more minutes, basking in awkward silence, before America suddenly perked up. "Oh! Dudes! I forgot to tell you! Tomorrow's our first day of school! Okay?"
"What? You started us right off the bloody bat? What the bloody hell was going through your mind? We still don't even have a hang of this culture yet! Bloody wanker!" Britain yelled across the table.
"Sorry Britain, dude. That's how it's gotta be, though. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enroll at this school." Britain calmed down some in understanding. He took his seat again, and we all paid attention to America. "Okay! The bus will pick us up at seven o'clock! Be up and dressed by six thirty! It's nine fifteen right now, so I would advise that you all be in bed by ten or eleven if you hope to be up on time for the bus."
Everyone nodded and soon began departing from the table to go to their rooms. Twilight was half asleep all through dinner, so when we got to the room, we immediately got ready for bed. Soon we were snuggled under the blankets in our beds with the full moon's light gleaming in through the French doors leading to the balcony. But after a while of trying to go to sleep, my body told me it way thirsty. I tried to ignore it, but that only made it worse. I sat up, and quietly snuck to and out the door, careful not to wake up Twilight. I looked around, and heard nothing but snores and some light music from rooms. Everyone was asleep. I crept down the hallway, trying to stay light on my feet, until I reached the stairs. From there, I slid down the banister to avoid the stairs and having to step lightly down them one by one with the fear of one of one of the boards squeaking. I landed with a soft 'pad' on the wood floor, and looked around in the dark.
'I hope I can pull this off..' I thought to myself. Carefully, I continued to the kitchen. Once there, I could see a bright orange-ish light on the floor, as well as a white light. They lit up the kitchen enough to see where I was going, and I padded over to the cabinets. The cabinets were quietly opened and shut as I searched for one containing a glass. Finally, I found one and proceeded to look for a sink or some source of water. I spotted the refrigerator door. It had a place to dispense water and or ice. I snuck over to it and stuck the glass under it, switched it to water, and carefully pushed against the little sensor on the back. Water shot into the glass and was quickly filling the cup up. I looked around and listened in case I needed to run or hide from somebody, but luckily nobody ever came. I pulled my glass away when it was completely full, and immediately drank half the glass. I looked around. 'This is a nice kitchen..' Then the lights on the floor caught my attention again. 'I wonder where those lights are coming from..?' I looked around and walked to the window. I looked out, but that was only half of the lights. Where was the orange-ish light coming from..?
Quietly, I padded back over to the fridge. I looked at the ice slash water dispenser, and discovered the other half of the light came from it. I giggled to myself, thinking how much of an idiot I must look like, looking for the source of a light in the middle of the night. I started the journey back up to my room, testing each stair for squeaks before stepping fully on it. I found my way back to my room and curled back up in my bed. 'Ninja mission: Success' I giggled, just before falling asleep.
FIVE METERS~~~~~DAT ASS~~~~~GEESE
"Get up!" Twilight's voice started at me. She shook me and shook me, and when I put the pillow over my head, she jumped on me. "Up, up! School today!" I sat up groggily to see a dressed and ready Twilight. I sighed and rubbed my eyes.
"Okay.. I'm up.." I stood up and walked to my suitcase. I found it already open and partially unpacked for me. Twilight's doing, gotta love her. I grabbed a shirt and other necessaries I would be needing, and headed off to get changed.
All too soon it seemed we were all ready. And all too soon the bus arrived.
"I'm so not ready for this.." I sighed. America slapped my back.
"Suck it up, dude! We'll have a great day!" With those final words, we all started boarding the large, yellow bus, receiving curious, suspicious, flirtatious, and sometimes even 'dirty' looks, a few glares, and some just plain out stares.
"Let the awkwardness begin.." I muttered.
Nonak: Okay! About side stories. One will be written by Kiwi, one will be written by me. Two completely different stories. Kiwi's will be about our OC's pasts. (Kiwi, Twilight, and Nonak. Also, possible Nyo!talia versions of our OC's)
Kiwi: Okay, since I have tons of time *cough* because I can't edit (.) and I can't ALWAYS be caught up with real life stuff... Basically, I have time to (possibly) write a side story. Please take note that my writing style and genre will be waaaay different from Nonak's here. (Even though parts of the Christmas special were written solely by me, like example: Prussia's point of view, at least all of the first one..) And as Nonak said before, this will be about our childhood...mostly in my point of view and in my country.
Also, on our profile here has links to pictures of the different nations (so far just me and Nonak becasue Twilight is posing some problems when I try to draw her...) and also links to our different websites (my LJ, their DA). I will be putting up a poll on our profile too about the possiblitly of the upcoming stories. I would be extremly happy if you guys voted, I think it takes less time and hassle than leaving a review (Since it seems some of you guys are just soooooo shy about that... w) So yeah, please vote or review. More info will be posted to my LJ or onto the profile here under 'Possibilities'.
Nonak: My story takes place in modern day with the countries as their human forms, not nations. It takes place in the actual town and neighborhood that I am living in (of course names of said neighborhood will not be said). It all started with a real experience I recently had.. lol.. Anyway. I don't really know if you want another modern day one or not. However, I am going to start a third one where the nations are in their pirate days. More on that in profile. But, we need to know if you guys are interested in these stories or if they're going to be a waste of our time to write.
So please. Review or vote.
Kiwi: Now don't think we're trying to slack off on 101, because we aren't. It's just that me and Nonak have two waaay different styles (hers is more romance/humor and mine's well...not romance e-e sorry to disappoint) And, with the time it takes between uploading and editing 101 we can work with more than one story. Cus' it takes a long damn time to find a way for me to be able to edit the story without a laptop. We still don't have any clue as to how we'er gonna pull this off since I can't spend the night every weekend.
R&R or Vote
Nonak: Also, I just want to thank you guys for all the views and stuff. Also, to the new Italian that's reading: YOU ARE EPIC! ...That is all. :)
