Forgotten Memories

Dream Arc

Chapter six

I woke up with a start. My eyes flew open and I flailed my arms and legs until I ended up in a sitting position. I looked around regaining the memory of my room. It was dark, it would have been pitch black if not for the thin strips of moonlight that were able to creep through the curtains. I wondered how I got here for a moment but was too tired to care and let myself fall back onto the bed. I sighed and covered my eyes with my arms, letting my mind wonder. Finally my thoughts rested on the question of time. Giving it a little thought I decided that it was early in the morning. Somewhere between two and three, I guessed. I would have looked at the clock but at the moment all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. I rolled to my side and opened my eyes slowly.

I screamed (it was a very masculine scream, I'll have you know, it only sounded like a girl's scream because my voice hasn't changed yet and even then it still sounded like a guy's scream) and pushed myself to the opposite side of the bed in a matter of seconds. I hadn't even noticed myself moving I just wound up there. Well, technically I wound up on the floor when I tried to push myself as far away as possible and went off the bed. The covers tumbled down with me wrapping around me and trapping me.

I heard a loud yawn as I tried to untie myself.

"Ugh… so not an awesome way to be woken up." I identified the voice as Prussia's.

'What a scary thing to open your eyes to.' I mused somewhat sarcastically.

"Bruder…" I started, "help… please?"

Prussia walked around the other side of the bed and blinked his crimson eyes at me.

"Why are you on the floor?" he asked, "You have a bed, you know."

"S-shut up…" I said looking away.

He gave a lighthearted chuckle and kneeled down next to me. He started pulling at the sheets that held me in place.

"Some girl screaming woke me up." He started.

Did he ever shut up? I felt my cheeks start to heat up.

"I don't know why she was screaming but it was really loud." He complained, "People should not be screaming when I'm trying to get my awesome sleep."

He finally untangled me from the sheets and plucked me off the ground. I was thankful that the darkness was able to cover my embarrassed blush.

He smiled stupidly at me. "So that was you're scream bruder?"

Ok so maybe the dark didn't hide my blush completely. I glared at him weakly and curled my hand into a fist which collided with the top of his head.

"S-Shut up!" I yelled.

I folded my arms across my chest and pouted in his arms. Suddenly I flew into the air and my bottom hit the soft mattress on the bed. I fumed silently and turned my head away from his as he sat down making the bed dip. I felt myself tip and finally fall to my side with a soft "Oof."

"Kesesesese." Gilbert laughed, "You've got a very pretty girl scream, bruder." He ruffled the top of my hair.

I frowned. "It wasn't my scream." I denied.

"You are a terrible liar." He informed standing up and walking over to the door.

"Wait, bruder!" I shouted out making him stop.

Prussia sighed, "What is it Ludwig?" he asked.

"Can you…" I stumbled over my words, "Can you tell me a story?"

I was somewhat ashamed for asking for something so childish but yet…

"A story?" Prussia asked, "Aren't you a little old for stories?"

"Please?" I squeaked.

Prussia smirked. "Once upon a time there was a little boy with a completely awesome big bruder. The boy was tired so he went to bed. The end."

"Bruder!" I whined childishly.

Prussia laughed. He closed the door and walked back to the bed.

"Move over and give your awesome burder so space." He said.

I did as I was told and he laid down on top of the covers. "What kind of story do you want?" he said folding his hands behind his head.

I shrugged.

He frowned. "You want me to tell you a story and you don't even know what kind of story." He said, "Pick one."

I was silent for a moment but then I muttered something softly.

"What?" Prussia asked.

"I said 'Fairytale'." I said a bit louder.

Prussia smirked and I lightly whacked his shoulder.

"Ok ok."

He thought for a moment before starting.

"Once upon a time there was a small princess."

"With short brown hair and a curl on the left side of her head." I interrupted.

"Why the specifics with the curl?"

I shrugged.

"Anyway…" Prussia continued, "Once upon a time there was a small princess with short brown hair and a curl on the left side of her head. She worked for a rich and snobby man named… umm… named Roderich. She cleaned his house and cooked his food and the two of them got along very well. One day the princess saw the man was upset and playing a slow sad tune on a very large piano.

'What is wrong?' she asked worried for the man.

The man sighed. 'I'm getting married.'

The princess thought that was a good thing but later found that the woman was a wicked witch. She would was controlling and always carried a frying pan which she used as a weapon. Some called her a demon. Others called her a hag. She would beat down innocent (an awesome) people with her frying pan and visit them in their nightmares. It's said that she would eat the souls of…"

"Prussia?" I asked.

"What?" he groaned as I interrupted once again.

"Is this witch someone that beat you up-"

"W-What?" The white haired nation yelled, "I never got beat up! And not by a girl! Now let me tell the story."

"The witch's name was Elizabeta. And she locked the young princess in a tower for years and years. Until one day along came a brave prince with neat blonde hair and blue eyes."

"Is that me?" I asked.

"No no. Any similarity to real people, living or dead, is completely coincidental and not intended by the awesome me. Now hush."

"He was from the distant land of… Holy Germania… and had heard of the princess in the tower. He had also heard that she was very beautiful and wanted to save her. When he got to the tower he saw the princess leaning on her windowsill and looking out over the valley.

'Princess!' he called to her, 'I have come to rescue you!'

The princess looked down at her savior…"

Prussia looked down at the child nation that was sleeping soundly. His chest was rising and falling in a peaceful rhythm. His mouth was opened slightly and he was sprawled out on his back.

Prussia smiled softly. "Good night, Ludwig." He whispered softly getting up from the bed and walking out of the room making sure the door didn't make a loud noise.

~X~

I looked up at the princess that was leaning on the windowsill. She was absolutely breath taking even from so far away.

"Princess, I have come to rescue you!" I shouted up at her.

She looked down at me with her big brown eyes and smiled. She walked away from the window and I was disappointed to see her leave. I almost missed her, literally.

"Catch me!" I heard and looked up to see her jump out of the window.

My eyes widened.

'WHAT THE HECK IS SHE DOING JUMPING FROM THAT HIGH UP!' My mind screamed at me.

By some miracle I managed to catch her and neither of us managed to break a bone in the process of it.

I was going to scold her for jumping out of such a high window but I lost all words seeing her face up close.

"Thank you for coming to rescue me." She smiled, "You don't have any pasta by chance do you?"

I shook my head quickly.

"Vee~." I couldn't tell what that was exactly. "I'm sorry," he said quickly, "I'm still on top of you."

My face must have turned beat red. 'Don't say it like that!' my mind screamed.

He suddenly looked behind me and his smile faded.

"What are you doing out of the tower?" asked the women that I assumed had beaten up Gilbert when he was younger… I mean the wicked witch.

I stood up quickly and moved protectively in front of the brunette. "I'm rescuing her." I informed bluntly, "And taking her far away from you."

The wicked witch's eyes seemed to glow red. "No you're not!" she howled and was consumed in a bright orange fire. She grew until she was a large dragon almost twice as tall as the tower that the princess was in.

The princess tugged on my sleeve and whispered something in my ear.

"You will never take her away from me! She will never leave this tower! Ever! Wait where'd they go?" she looked around for me and the princess but could not find us. "Drat." She huffed, "I should have listened to teacher when she said that transforming like that would give people time to get away."

Meanwhile the princess were very far away from her and the tower.

"Thank you for saving me from that tower." She said and held out one lone daisy.

I would have wondered where she got it from since there was not a patch of follows in sight but I had other things on my mind.

I took the small flower from her and smiled. "I'm just glad I could help. My name is Ludwig, by the way."

"I'm-"

~X~

I opened my eyes tiredly blinking to adjust them to the morning sunlight that lit up the room. Why had the dream stopped then? Why do they always stop at the best part?

I sat up in my bed and let the covers fall gently on my lap. I was going to rub my eyes but I stopped seeing a small white daisy in my hand.

I was going over the last few chapters in my head and they weren't very funny. So I decided that this chapter needed to be funny.
