1:02 AM (CEST)
Riing… riing…
"Allô?"
"France!"
France drowsily rolled out of his bed and stood up, wincing as the cold phone pressed against his cheek. "Qui est l'appariel?"
"It's China!"
France looked longingly at his bed, "Could this have waited till demain? I need my beauty rest."
"This is more important that your…. beauty." China would have sounded exasperated if he wasn't so scared. "I need to tell you-"
"Excusé-moi? Nothing is more important than my beauty! How could I spread l'amour without it?"
"Well this is more important." China insisted. "Russia is dead!"
France stopped cold. "Quoi?"
"I said: 'Russia is dead!'"
"How is that even possible? He's… Russia."
"I don't know." China lied, "He just dropped in front of my house about seven hours ago."
France immediately bristled, "Why am I always the one who gets told things last? I can't believe you waited seven hours to call me about this!"
"I just woke up, I went to sleep first."
"Oh… Wait, you slept while knowing that Russia was dead?"
"It was surprisingly easy…"
"Touché… So you called me first? You didn't even call Lithuania yet?"
"Don't read into it!" China said crossly, "Japan did something to my phone so that it redirects all my calls to a different nation. I was trying to call you Baltics and I got you instead."
Even over the phone China could tell France was smiling. "I have already read into it! Don't use obviously fake excuses. You just wanted to hear the melodious sound of my voice!" France said.
"No way, frog!" China yelled, borrowing from England's vocabulary. "I called you by mistake. Mistake. Got that?"
France sighed dramatically, "Well if I'm so unwanted I'll just go…"
"Actually" China thought for a moment, "While I have you on the lone do you think you could call some of the other old allies? I have no idea who my phone is going to call, so reaching the Baltics might take a while. Start with America, or… that other one…"
"Canada?" France asked.
"Yeah! Him!" China said, remembering.
"Why not Angleterre? Or have you called him and you are just lying to me?"
"Why not England?" China repeated. "Because he told me that he doesn't like to get phone calls at night from Frogs! Call the North American twins, I'm going to try to get the Baltics… again."
"Wait! What am I supposed to say? Just 'Bonjour, Russia is dead, Au revoir?"
"Sure. You are known for tactlessness."
"Hey! That's what you said to me!" France protested.
"Yeah, well, I can admit that I have no tact." China replied. "You'll think of something."
"Fine… Mais-"
Dial tone.
He hung up? And he expects me to call America and tell him Russia's dead?
France set down the phone and fell back onto his bed. America could wait 'till demain. France had beauty rest to catch up on.
-
China groaned. Out of all the countries France had to be the one who he got redirected to. He'd have to talk to Japan about getting his phone fixed. He knew it had been him because Japan was the only person he could call without getting redirected.
He looked down at his cell phone's contact list. It was pointless to try and call the Baltics because then it would be positive he wouldn't get them. Might as well try calling someone else and maybe he would get lucky. He scrolled through his contacts. He's try calling Spain. Just in case it didn't redirect by some miracle it would be good to call someone who was happy no matter what. Although, China wasn't exactly sure how he would react to the news of Russia being dead.

Do you want to call 'Spain'?

His phone asked in cheery green lettering. Pressing the OK button China put the phone to his ear.
It rang once… twice… three times…
Well it is night in Europe China reasoned. Who ever it is is probably asleep-
"This is Belarus." A familiar (scary) voice answered the phone.
China started at the female's heavily accented voice. Oh crap…
"Who is this?"
China hesitated. Should he tell he that Russia was dead? Would she kill him if he did? Was that even a question? Of course she would kill me!
"Who is this?" Belarus asked again, her voice sounding slightly more murderous than usual.
Silently China hung up the phone. Belarus was bad enough on a normal day, but if she heard this news… China didn't even want to think about the consequences of that.

"Who was that?" Russia asked.
Belarus looked over to where her brother was sitting by the fire. Belarus had finally untied him (after a lot of begging).
"Just a wrong number" the younger nation replied setting the phone down and making her way to Russia's chair. "Now Brother, will you marry me?"
"No!"

How am I supposed to call the Baltics now? China wondered despairingly. With his phone redirecting his calls like this it could take ages to reach them. He hadn't realized how much he had depended on the thing for communication before.
Oh well, I'll try one more person.
China scrolled through his contact list again. Nearing the bottom he saw 'Russia' (with the same annoyingly happy green lettering).
Well if this one doesn't get redirected at least no one will answer.
Pressing the call button China waited in apprehension.
Ring…. Ring…
I wonder who it will be this time…
Ri-
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is China." China said, trying to place the voice.
"Oh, labas China. How are you?"
It's Lithuania! China thought excitedly, Finally some good luck for a change.
"I'm fine. Listen, are your brothers there?" China asked.
There was a slight popping sound as Lithuania put his hand over the phone's mouthpiece. China heard his muffled voice yelling: "Latvia! Estonia! Where are you?"
There were some distant shouts and Lithuania uncovered the mouthpiece .
"Yeah, they're here. Poland too."
"Great." China hesitated, wondering how he should word this. "Can you call them over?"
"Sure, is something wrong?"
Well not 'wrong', per se... China thought. "Please call them over" I'll explain when they're all here."
There was another popping noise and some more muffled yelling and a beep as the the phone was set to speaker phone.
"I got Estonia and Latvia. Poland might take a minute..."
"Thats ok." China took a deep breath. "Ok, I have no idea how to say this tactfully, so I'll just be frank. Russia is dead."
Silence.
"I saw it, he just collapsed outside of my window. It just sort of... happened."
More silence.
"Um... hello?"
"atsiprašau, sorry. I didn't mean to make this awkward for you." Lithuania apologized.
""No, you have a right to be shocked. I mean... it's Russia..."
"... How do you know?" This voice sounded younger. Must be Latvia.
"I couldn't see his breathing." China replied.
"You mean you don't see him now?" Estonia asked. His voice sounded less worried than China had expected. "I thought he collapsed outside of your house."
"I... don't want to look." China confessed.
"Well-" Lithuania started, but he was interrupted by yet another voice, who China assumed to be Poland.
"So, like, what'd I miss?"
Yep, thats Poland...
"Russia's dead..." Latvia said, yet again surprised China with the little concern the Baltics seemed to have. From what he had seen of the small nation he was always shaking.
"Like, what?" Poland asked shocked. "Is that even possible?"
"Apparently. China saw it happen" Estonia answered.
"Wait, like, what time did that happen?"
"Around midnight here..." China said. "So that would be about... 2pm your time."
"Broski, that's like totally impossible." Poland said. There was a two-toned beep from what China thought sounded like a cell phone.
"At 5pm, our time, I got a text from Belarus saying that she and Russia were-"
"Poland! Latvia's here! Lithuania cried,obviously assuming the worst.
"...Eating dinner." Poland finished. "Dude, what'd you think I was going to say?"
"Lithuania was silent for a moment. "Nevermind."
"Well, anyway, five is, like, totally after two, so Russia totally can't be dead!" Poland finished triumphantly.
"But I saw it! Right outside my window!" And the Death Note... China added silently. He moved over to his window and drew back the curtain. It was light out so China could see a lot better than he could twelve hours ago. There were marks in the dirt leading away from where Russia has collapsed, as if someone has dragged him. After a few yards the dragging marks stopped and the one pair of footsteps had turned into two.
China felt completely lost. Was this all some elaborate prank? Were Japan and Russia working together to freak him out? Somehow China doubted it. Was it Belarus just like Japan had though?
"Broski? You still there?" Poland asked.
"Yes, sorry. "Um... I don't see Russia's body, and there are two pairs of footsteps leading away from where he fell..."
"I totally told you" Poland crowed in delight.
China thought he could hear a muffled "Damn it." from what sounded like Latvia.
"Um... I'm sorry about the mix up..." China felt his face burning red. How could I have been so stupid? The idea of Russia dying is insane! "I'm going to call Japan now..."
China hung up the phone before the Baltics could say anything else.

A/N:

So... Much... Dialogue... *dies*

First I would like to apologize for how long this took. I had school and finals, but now I am FREE! Which means this will be finished soon. I'm thinking one or two more chapters and an epilogue.

I would also like to apologize for how bad I am at ending chapters. I don't know why, but I just suck at it.

I also think it should be mentioned that I wrote all of Poland's dialogue in pink glittery gel pen on the rough copy of this. Don't ask. I had to.

Reviews are appreciated and welcomed and stuff.

Bye. :)
