Hey guys! Sorry for the late update. ~ But I made this chapter long and nice for you to read. Plus it's pretty fun! I decided to go to the micronations chapter. Hope you guys like it! :D
Chapter 31: Ambassadors and Micronations
Unknown P.O.V
The micronations were gathered at the clubhouse near Wy's home. Sealand had called another meeting about becoming official countries. Most of the time, they never really progress in anything like the countries. The best they can do is prank their respective countries or beg for independence. The group consist of Sealand from Britain, Molossia from America, Seborga from Italy, Wy and Hutt River from Australia, Nikoniko from Japan, Ladonia from Sweden, Kugelmugel from Austria and Borneo from three different countries (Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, poor Borneo). But this time for once, Sealand had a matter no one even bothered to mentioned.
" Hey guys! I just figured out how to get the countries to recognise us!" Sealand exclaimed.
" Pranking them real hard again?" Wy said " That didn't work."
" According to my calculations, we've done that a hundred times, most of the time they failed." Nikoniko mentioned.
" No! I swear it's different from all that we've done." Sealand said.
" I still don't want you as the leader." Ladonia said " If it's the change of leaders sign me up."
" Come on guys, let Sealand say what he wants to say. It may be different." Borneo said as he feed his rhinosaurus hornbil, Flyer, with some fruits.
" I do. It's about the ambassadors!" Sealand said.
" The ambassadors?!" The micronations exclaimed.
" Yeah! Them! Remember the time we worked with them for the movie Seborga? Wy? They are human yet they are recognised by every country as ambassadors. They are better than us in many ways. Don't you feel like it's unfair?" Sealand cried.
" Hm… well I've heard a lot about Bec. I don't really mind her at all since she annoys Austria." Kugelmugel said, rather pleased with what he said.
" I think they're fine." Borneo said " They are kind to us."
" I don't. Every time I visit Denmark ambassador Liang Hao annoys me to death!" Ladonia said, shoving at the memory. The last time Ladonia met Liang Hao, he was asking a lot of questions and shaking the micronation a lot excitedly.
" They must have a special secret for them to be noticed so much!" Sealand exclaimed.
" So? What's your point?" Hutt River asked.
" We will learnt that secret from them and become official countries!" Sealand exclaimed.
" I don't think they have any real secret." Wy said.
" So who's with me?" Sealand said as he raised his hand up high.
" It's worth a shot." Borneo said as he raised his hand. Nikoniko, Molossia, Seborga and Kugelmugel raised up their hands.
" What? You can't be serious!" Ladonia exclaimed. " Sealand probably has some random stupid scheme that won't work!"
" Too bad! It's six against three! We'll go along with the plan!" Sealand said. Then he got down from the wooden box he was standing on, took pieces of paper out of his backpack that he carried into the clubhouse before standing on the box again. Sealand held out the papers to show them his drawings of his plan.
" My plan is that each one of us will visit one ambassador and hang out with them the whole day! There are 20 ambassadors in total but I'm sure we only need to talk to a few." Sealand said, then he showed a picture of him and Riana. The drawing wasn't perfect. " First, I will go to Riana since she's Britain's ambassador. That way, she may be able to convince Britain to give me my independence!"
" Seborga! You will go with Kristina!" Sealand said as he dropped the first picture and showed another one with Seborga and Kristina. " It should be easy for you since Kristina is a nice girl. Besides we're already friends with her. If you can, try to be friends with Bryan too, the ambassador of South Italy. He may be able to convince Romano to support you! Watch out for Yuna though. She's Spain's ambassador and is seen a lot around Kristina."
" Hey… I think I've met Bryan and Yuna before." Seborga said. " Yeah! I did!"
" Uh huh! I think it should be easy for you then." Sealand said. Then he dropped the second piece of paper to show the third drawing of Molossia and a chubby guy. " Molossia, you will be with Jao Lan, America's ambassador! Same concept as ambassador-convinces -country technique! But watch out for his girlfriend Tasha. You can be friend with her too!" Then Sealand pointed to the indian girl at the corner of the paper.
" The porky? I've seen him once. I don't mind him but the girl?" Molossia said. " I'll do my best then. America never takes me seriously."
Sealand nodded. Then he showed them the fourth drawing of Nikoniko and Ariel " Nikoniko will be with the japanese ambassador Ariel. Is that alright Niko?"
" I'm fine." Nikoniko said. Sealand dropped the fourth to show the fifth drawing of Ladonia and Liang Hao.
" Now wait a minute! Why is there a picture of me and Liang Hao?!" Ladonia exclaimed as he stood up from his seat.
" Oh, because you'll be with Liang Hao." Sealand said.
" I don't want to hang out with that annoying boy!" Ladonia exclaimed.
" No one wants to." Wy stated.
" Well Liang Hao may be Denmark's ambassador but he's also known as the ambassador of the nordics. If you can become good friends with him, maybe he will convince Sweden to give you your independence." Sealand said.
" I can do that by myself." Ladonia protest.
" Please? It's just for a day!" Sealand begged.
" No." Ladonia said.
" Come on Ladonia." Seborga said " He's not that bad. Just try it out. He could be the ticket to your independence."
Ladonia was silent for awhile. Then he held up his index finger and said " One day."
" Yay! Now on to the next plan." Sealand said as he showed them the sixth picture of Kugelmugel and Bec. " Kugelmugel, you will be with Bec. Since you already know her, it's no problem at all!"
" Just because I don't mind her doesn't mean I want to be friends with her!" Kugelmugel complained. " I just said I'm satisfied by the way she treats Austria!"
" Are you afraid she'll treat you the same way?" Molossnia asked him.
" She's a rough tomboy who is a heavy metal fan and has a huge rifle she isn't afraid to use! Of course I will be wary!" Kugelmugel exclaimed,
" But think of it, what if you two join forces? Think about how she can convince Austria!" Sealand said.
" But she's Hungary's ambassador, isn't she." Wy said.
" She's close if Austria believe it or not." Sealand said " At least that's what I've heard."
" I think you got that wrong." Ladonia said.
" I'll try. I want to see if that fact is true." Kugelmugel said. " So long as she doesn't disturb me."
" Yay!" Sealand exclaimed. Then he showed them the next picture of Wy with Syrian. " The rest of you don't have ambassadors in your country or have anyone living with their countries. So I will split you off into a few other places. Wy will be with Syrian, is that okay?"
" I don't mind. I've met Syrian before." Wy said. Sealand then showed the next drawing of Hutt River and Aria. " Hutt River, you will be with Aria!"
" Hold on, isn't she the girl who has a bad temper and yells at people?" Hutt River asked.
" Most of the ambassadors do that Hutt." Molossnia mentioned.
" Don't call me Hutt!" Hutt River exclaimed.
" I can't find any other ambassador who can tolerate with your behaviour as a clean aristocrat." Sealand mentioned. Hutt River tried not to look annoyed.
" Why not you go with Penny?" Borneo mentioned. " She's a nice girl."
" Penny? Well, okay. That's better." Hutt River said " She's the Belgium ambassador right?"
" Huh?! No fair! You got the pretty one~" Seborga exclaimed as Sealand started drawing the paper he held to change the picture of Aria to Penny.
" She already has a boyfriend." Nikoniko mentioned to Seborga. " My country is dating her, sort of." Seborga sighed. He was too late.
" Borneo, you will be with Brandon! He's pretty cool. I thought of Steve but he's too scary." Sealand said as he showed them the final picture. " You may meet Amir since he lives in the same house."
" Okay, I don't mind the German ambassadors. Um… is Brandon anything like Germany?" Borneo asked. Flyer squawked.
" Only in organisation and fitness, otherwise he's just a pokerface guy." Sealand said. " Amir is just as loud and egoistic as Prussia. Alright! Let's go! We'll meet each other tomorrow to see our results!"
The be-friends-with-ambassadors-and-use-them mission has begun!
Kristina's P.O.V
I heard a knock on the door. I rubbed my sleepy eyes. I had overslept again and it was late afternoon. I walked towards the door sleepily as I yawned. Ruby was walking along side with me. I opened the door to see a face I haven't seen for a long time.
" Hi Kristina~ You look great today!" Seborga said as he waved his hand. I think that's a lie because I still had my bedhair.
" What do you want Seborga?" I yawned. " Sorry for being rude, I just got up."
" No problem! Do you want to hang out today?" Seborga asked.
" Huh?" I said " Why this all of a sudden?"
" Um…" Seborga said. " I thought since you are Italy's ambassador and I am gaining my independence from him I should get to know you better."
" Didn't you already do that?" I asked.
" But we haven't meet each other for a long time!" Seborga complained.
" Okay okay! Just let be grab something to eat. You can wait in the living room, Ruby will entertain you." I said as I walked off to the kitchen. Ruby, being useful, helped close the door as Seborga entered the room and lead him to the living room. Bryan was in the kitchen, eating cookies out of a jar.
" Oh Kristina, you're finally awake!" Bryan said " Had a rough night?"
" I overslept. I was having a good dream. Too bad it ended." I said.
" Oh, that's what you meant." Bryan said. I glared at him and hit him on the head. Argh! What was he thinking. Bryan Junior was also in the room, trying to get some cookies out of the jar. Every ambassador has their own kitties now. Mine seem to be the leader among them. Cute. Then Bryan Junior managed to get one and jump away. I hope those aren't chocolate cookies, I'm not sure if chocolate is poisonous for cats.
" Hey Kristina, you done yet?" Seborga called out.
" I haven't even started!" I yelled back. Bryan jumped in shock.
" Who's that?" Bryan asked.
" Seborga, you remember him right?" I said. Bryan was silent for awhile. Then he did his dramatic thinking pose: crossing his arms with a 'gun hand sign' under his chin. After a long while (by this time I was spreading butter on my toast) he said " Don't remember!" Argh, it took him that long to think?
" It was one of our first days here. Remember the three kids we bumped into when Feli was taking us around town?" I asked.
" Who's Feli?" Bryan asked. I blushed, did I really call Italy that in front of Bryan?
" I-Italy." I stammered as I put the knife in the sink and put the butter back in the fridge.
" Dude, I know you two a lovey dovey but don't show it to me!" Bryan exclaimed.
" I would say the same with you and Taiwan." I said as I took my toast and ate it as I left the room.
" Hey!" Bryan yelled as he followed me into the living room " At least I'm not like you two."
" Yeah right." I said, recalling the time when he keeps talking about Taiwan when she accept Bryan has her boyfriend.
Seborga stood up and went to Bryan. Ruby meowed, jumped off the sofa and ran out of the room. " Hello~ I remember you! You're Bryan right!"
" Yeah, who are you again? I forgot your name but I swear I saw you before." Bryan said. Seborga froze. Poor Seborga.
" That's Seborga you idiot. He's the micronation of Italy." I said. I mentioned he's a micronation just in case he ask he ask Seborga about his country.
" Oh right. What's a micronation again?" Bryan said, before sitting on the couch.
" Country wannabes." I said. Seborga looked even more upset. Whoops. Sorry Seborga. Seborga then sat next to Bryan. I sat down on an armchair filled with pillow. Comfy.
" Hey Bryan, do you want to join Kristina and I today?" Seborga said. Bryan coughed. Then he leaned towards me and whispered " Hey, since when you were having an affair? What's with you and italian guys?"
Luckily for me, Seborga didn't hear that. I gave Bryan my death glare and took a big bite out of my toast. Bryan recoiled to the couch in fear, put Seborga in front of him and exclaimed " Oh-" before he could swear, I started throwing pillows at him with a full blown attack. Damn him. Bryan and Seborga were quickly trying to dodge my attacks. Then I heard Yuna yell " JUNIOR! RUBY! STOP Fi- OUCH!"
" What the heck?" I said as I quickly got up and ran to the direction of the sound. Seborga and Bryan followed after me. Then I found the scene of the crime.
Yuna was sitting on the ground, her legs were filled with cat scratches. Beside her is Sandy, panicking on what to do. Ruby and Junior were having a major cat fight. They were pouncing over each other and give each other major cat scatches.
" Ruby! Stop!" I yelled as I went to her and picked her up. I got scratched while pulling Ruby away from Junior by the belly but nothing major. Junior was picked up by Bryan with much difficulty. Junior still struggled in Bryan's hands.
" Stop fighting! What were you two even fighting about anyway Ruby?" I asked. Ruby looked at the ground, I looked too. It was the cookie that Junior stole earlier.
" Oh…" I said, I didn't know what else to say. Sigh… these cats*.
[ A/N I planned this in a nekotalia chapter but I thought it would be fun to put it here ^ - ^]
Unknown P.O.V
Sealand burst through the front door of Britain's house exclaiming " Riana! Riana! Riana!"
Rani jumped up from her nap in shock. Britain, who was reading a nice novel, jumped up in shock too. Then he came to his senses and yelled " Sealand! Get out of my house this instant! Who gave you the permission to barge in here?!"
Sealand ignored him and went to Riana who was coming out of her room. Riana was surprised to see Sealand in the house. She has met him a few times, the little micronation is fun and nice. Just extremely childish.
" Hey Riana!" Sealand said, bouncing excitedly " What's your secret huh? What is it?" Sealand had already broken his only rule out of excitement.
" Huh? What secret?" Riana asked, confused.
" How you become so popular among the countries. I want to be recognised and you ambassadors seem to know how." Sealand said, pouting.
" Um… there really is no secret." Riana said.
" What?! There's got to be one, otherwise how did you become big eyebrows ambassador?" Sealand whined as he pulled on Riana's sleeve.
" SEALAND! GET OUT!" Britain exclaimed. He stormed down the corridor, looking very angry. Sealand stuck his tongue out at Britain and continued to pester Riana.
" It's okay Britain. I'll take care of him. You just go back to your reading." Riana assured him.
" Are you sure you want this annoying pest to be around?" Britain asked.
" It's no problem." Riana said. Sealand was quiet. Britain hesitated at first but he walked off, grumbling under his breath. Then Sealand asked Riana " Thanks. So what's the secret?"
" I told you, there is no secret." Riana said.
" Then how did you become so popular?" Sealand whined.
" Um… I have no idea. I guess I became popular because I came from the other dimension like Kristina. She's already made her reputation here so I would be recognised. Besides, I am caught up in a little problem so it's an issue the countries would take note of. I am just staying with Britain until I can go back home. Since I somehow become his ambassador, I guess I would be recognised." Riana explained. Sealand thought for awhile, then he said " So if I become a topic big enough for the countries to take note of, will they recognise me as a country?"
" I'm not so sure about that…" Riana said. She became afraid of what Sealand might do just become a topic of the world meetings- it's not like they do anything there really. Not with Britain arguing with France all the time.
Rani walked down the hallway and rubbed herself at Riana's feet. Before Riana could pick up the slightly frightened kitten, Sealand exclaimed " AW! KITTY!~"
Sealand quickly picked Rani up by the belly and carried her up. Rani panicked and struggled. Sealand twirled around in circles down the corridor, smiling as he raised Rani high in the air. Rani was frozen stiff, she's been petrified. Riana got worried.
" Sealand! Please put Rani down!" Riana yelled.
" Why? I want to play with her!" Sealand cried as he stopped turning and lowered Rani. Phew. Rani looked dizzy.
" I think she's scared. Come here Rani." Riana said. Rani blinked, jumped out of Sealand's hands and ran towards Riana. Riana squat down as Rani jumped into her arms. Sealand walked towards Riana, squat down and looked at the cat. Then he said " Why doesn't Rani like me?"
" You scared her, she doesn't know you that well so of course she'll be afraid of you." Riana said.
" Then… how can I make her trust me?" Sealand asked, wiping away his oncoming tears.
Riana smiled. She put Rani on the ground, Rani stood close to Riana, scared of Sealand.
" Put out your index finger and wait. She will slowly trust you." Riana said. Sealand put out his finger a bit too stiffly.
" Relax, the more relaxed you are, the better she will trust you." Riana said. Sealand relaxed his hand. Rani was wary at first, then she slowly walked towards Sealand. Sealand started to smile.
" Don't make any loud noises." Riana warned Sealand. Rani went to Sealand's hand, sniffed it, before licking it. Sealand giggled.
" Hey, it's ticklish." Sealand said. Then Rani put her head under Sealand's hand. Sealand was surprised. He smiled wide and looked at Riana, Riana nodded. Then Sealand rubbed the top of Rani's head, she purred.
" She trust me!" Sealand said happily. Riana smiled, maybe she should spend time with this micronation for today. He must feel lonely being rejected by all those countries. He's just a kid after all.
Meanwhile, Wy was staring at the door of China's huge house. She hesitated, China could answer the door, she didn't want to meet him. She wanted Syrian. Wy adjusted the backpack on her shoulders before knocking the door. The red wooden door opened to reveal… a baby panda?
" Aw, cute." Wy said softly. She squatted down and started petting the bear. Then the door opened wider to reveal Syrian. She was confused to see the australian girl in front of her, now touching Xiao Ai who immediately trusted her. Wy looked up and heaved a sigh of relief. This must be Syrian, thank goodness it wasn't China.
" Wy? What are you doing here? " Syrian asked.
" Oh, um… I just came by to visit. All the other micronations are out and I'm bored." Wy said.
" Don't you have any other friends? How about Sealand and Seborga?" Syrian asked.
" Busy." Wy said. Then she sighed. " I didn't want to hang out with them anyway. They're a pain in the neck."
" I guess the other micro nations are busy too. You really don't have any other friends. I'm sure you have some." Syrian
" I need new friends. But the only option I had before I heard about you ambassadors were the other micronations. I'm the only girl micronation, all the others are guys and they are super annoying. Don't even get me started on Sealand or Seborga. Argh… I can't believe I met them invading my garden… I need some other girl to talk to." Wy explained..
" Well… come in! China isn't home yet, if that makes you comfortable. Xiao Ai, get in." Syrian said. Wy and Xiao Ai walked into China's home. Wy wasn't looking at where she was going. Before she knew it, she tripped over Xiao Ai who was in front of her and fell down. All the contents of her back were poured out, one of her paintbrushes hit her head. Ouch.
" Wy! Are you okay?" Syrian asked as she quickly went to her side. Xiao Ai seemed fine, but it looked annoyed from being stepped on.
" Yeah… I'm fine." Wy said, then she started picking up her things. Syrian helped. Syrian picked up Wy's notepad and out of curiosity, opened it. Syrian flipped through the pages. She was surprised that Wy's extremely good at drawing.
" Wow, you're good. Maybe even better than Kristina, no offence." Syrian said. Wy looked up, she quickly put her stuff from her backpack and grabbed the sketchpad from Syrian.
" Don't touch it…" Wy said as she looked at the page. She gasped and dropped the sketchpad. Oh no… she saw it, she saw it.
" What's wrong?" Syrian asked. Wy blushed and said " N-nothing. Just don't tell anyone what I drew."
Syrian looked at the sketchbook again and looked at the drawing of several guys and Wy. She picked it up and said " I don't see the problem with this picture. Who are they anyway?"
" The micronations. I told you I was the only girl." Wy said " I thought I should try and draw the picture of all of us and show it to them. But then I got scared and never did show it. I am afraid that they will laugh at me."
Syrian looked at the picture again. Then she said " I don't know who these people are but they seem pretty nice. I'm sure they won't laugh at you or anything. I think they will be happy to see this. That's Sealand right?" Syrian pointed to a small boy wearing a sailors suit. The boy was beside the picture of Wy, showing a peace sign tilted towards him and smiling brightly while one of his legs is in the air. Wy nodded.
" This must be Seborga right?" Syrian said pointing to the picture of Seborga who has his elbow on a gangster looking guy, who was crossing his arms, smirking. " Who's that guy he's with?"
" Molossnia, he's the micronation of America." Wy said. Then she pointed to an albino boy with long hair and a red cap sitting on the floor " That's Kugelmugel, from Austria."
" That's Borneo, the bird he has is Flyer, his pet." Wy said pointing to the tanned boy sitting on the ground with the rhinosaurus hornbil on his left shoulder. " Nikoniko is the japanese guy." She pointed to a boy in a school uniform standing stiffly next to a boy with red hair.
" From Japan right?" Syrian said " The boy next to him is from… um… Scotland?"
" Sweden." Wy corrected " He's from Sweden. That scar on his nose is fake, he's trying to act tough all the freaking time."
" That's nothing compared to having a girly guy pestering you all the time." Syrian said. Wy smiled. Then she pointed to a tall boy wearing fancy clothes " That's Hutt River. We call him Hutt despite the fact he doesn't like it. He's from Australia too."
" So is he like your brother?" Syrian said.
" We're not related at all." Wy said. " I hate working with him. Our group is pretty much crazy. Ladonia's always arguing with at least someone, Hutt and Kugelmugel keep complaining, Sealand gets on Molossnia's and my nerves, Nikoniko doesn't seem to care about becoming a country at all. Not to mention Seborga tries to flirt with me once in awhile and annoys me. But we're close." Wy smiles. Syrian smiled too. Then she said " Hey, do you want to see my drawings?"
" You draw?" Wy said. Syrian got up.
" Yeah, a lot since I'm bored to death half of the time. I tried to draw Xiao Ai but he keeps moving around." Syrian said as Wy got up.
" Cool, let's go then." Wy said. The two chatted until the reached Syrian's room to check out her pictures.
Kugelmugel, meanwhile, was freaking out. Half was about Bec treating him the same way as Austria and half was about being shot by Bec's rifle. But he had to do it. If it's true Bec and Austria are surprisingly good friends, then he needs to be friends with her. Kugelmugel took a deep breath and rung the doorbell of Austria's house.
" I'll get it!" A voice said in a hungarian accent. Then the door opened to reveal Hungary. Kugelmugel thought once again why the hungarian woman still lives with her ex-husband.
" Oh, hello Kugelmugel. Come in." Hungary said. Kugelmugel went into the house, he's glad that Hungary is kind enough to let him in. Austria would have chased him away.
" Who's it?" A malaysian accent whined.
" Kugelmugel." Hungary said. Who was it?
Bec walked around the corner lazily and looked at Kugelmugel. He freaked out and hid behind Hungary. He has to spend a whole day with her?! She doesn't look like she's in a good mood.
" Hey dude, what's up?" Bec said, raising her hand as if to say hi. Looks like she's not in such a bad mood. She look like she just woke up. " So what're doing here?"
" I think I left a few of my artworks here the last time I visit." Kugelmugel said " And a few supplies."
" That's all?" Hungary asked.
" And to request for my independence." Kugelmugel added.
" Again?" Bec asked " I don't get it what is up with you and independence for a non-existent country." Not only was she violent but she's also mean!
" I am a country!" Kugelmugel shouted. " Just not recognised by many as one."
" Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Bec said as she walked away. " You were at the garden last right? You can check there."
" Thank you…" Kugelmugel said before he walked off to the garden. Bec followed him, probably to keep an eye on him or something. Kugelmugel went to the spot he last sat and pretended to check for art supplies or work. But he knows he won't find anything, he always makes sure he has all his things, especially when it comes to art. But he has lost his favourite art pen, he blames Sealand for that.
" Hey Kugel." Bec said. Kugelmugel looked at Bec. " It's Kugelmugel."
" I know, but it's a mouthful so I'll call you Kugel okay?" Bec said " Why are you so desperate for your independence. I heard from Hungary that all the micronations are known for pestering their respective countries for independence."
" We will disappear if we don't survive." Kugelmugel said " I mean we're not sure what will happen to us but we won't last long. If we can't be countries, we'll be good as dead nations."
" Dead? So you're like countries." Bec said.
" No, we aren't." Kugelmugel said, he had stopped searching for his 'art supplies' " Countries were born as countries. We were born as humans, but we are chosen to become countries. Look at Nikoniko, he hates being a micronation but he's here. So if we want to live, we have to be countries."
Bec was silent. It sounds like some deadly mission, if the country does survive; the country dies. It would be the same for micronations. Bec then took something out of her pocket and said " Hey Kugel, catch." She threw something small at Kugelmugel. He caught it and looked at it. It was his art pen!
" H-how did you find it?!" Kugelmugel exclaimed, getting excited.
" To be honest, I stole to make you angry because I thought you were similar to Austria. But you're cool. Sorry." Bec said.
" And I thought it was Sealand who took it." Kugelmugel said looking at the pen. " Wait, YOU STOLE IT?! IT'S MY FAVOURITE PEN!"
" I SAID I'M SORRY!" Bec yelled. " Anyway, who the hell is Nikoniko and Sealand?"
Let's leave them be for awhile. A short look at Sealand and Riana: Sealand sneezed once.
" Bless you." Riana said.
" Weird, I don't feel sick." Sealand said. Rani meowed in Sealand's lap.
Now let's look at Nikoniko. He looks at Japan's house and knocks on the door. Ariel opened the door and sees the boy. She's seen him once, when he was talking with Japan. Japan doesn't really mind him at all but is worried for him. Japan isn't really sure he will be able to become a country.
" Konichiwa Ariel." Nikoniko said as he bowed as a greeting " I've been instructed by Sealand to spend the day with you."
Nikoniko sort of broke Sealand's rule (but that's better than asking the secret of counter popularity directly). Ariel looked confused " Um… I don't understand."
" May I spend the day with you? All the other micronations are busy with their own jobs." Nikoniko said.
" Yeah, okay. I'm free today." Ariel said as she opened the door to let Nikoniko in. He bowed and then walked into the house. It was a bit awkward considering they were both shy and didn't speak. Ariel, having Japan's hospitality rubbed on her, provided tea and some snack. Nikoniko spent no time grabbing snacks.
" So… what do you want to do?" Ariel asked as she sat down.
" I haven't thought of it on the way here." Nikoniko said. " Well, I do have a question."
" Okay, what is it?" Ariel asked.
" How is it, a human like you, become an ambassador?" Nikoniko asked.
" To be honest, I have no idea." Ariel said. " When I first got here, all I wanted to do was get home real quick. But seeing Kristina so calm clams me down and I started trying to get used to living here. I was found unconscious by Japan and he took me in. I started helping him with work and before I knew it, I became his ambassador."
" I see… when will you be going back?" Nikoniko asked. Ariel was silent.
" I don't know. America is trying to figure out the combination. Ever since Kristina left the 2p world, Estonia and Mike has been warning America to be more careful and help him find the right combination." Ariel said " We could be going back at any time now, seeing that America is almost done."
" 2p world? What is that?" Nikoniko asked. The two just kept talking and eating snacks for the rest of the day. Nikoniko has gotten his answer but he thinks hanging out with the japanese ambassador won't be too bothersome. It's different from the usual activities in the clubroom, maybe even better. He wonders how the other micronations are doing.
Meanwhile, Borneo had a little problem. He met Amir and Brandon the way he didn't expect. Also he didn't expect to met a dead nation.
Borneo was walking to Germany's house when he heard a loud noise nearby. Curious, Borneo went to it, Flyer got scared by the noise and started squawking loudly.
" Flyer! Sh!" Borneo said as he put his index finger on his lips. Then somebody large bump into him. Borneo stumbled and looked at the boy who bumped into him. It was Amir, but Borneo didn't know that yet.
" Oh sorry! I didn't see you there." Amir said.
" That's okay- Flyer!" Flyer didn't seem to like being knocked down and had started pecking Amir by the head.
" Ouch ouch ouch! Get this bird off me!" Amir cried.
" Amir, what's taking so long?" another voice called out. Another boy, this one is Brandon, ran towards Amir. He was surprised to see the malay boy, but he's more surprised to see the bird. Another boy followed after Brandon. He looked like Germany but of a younger version (Holy Rome).
" What kind of bird is that?" Holy Rome said.
" Get this bird off me!" Amir exclaimed.
" Flyer!" Borneo called, then he whistled. Flyer stopped pecking and squawked at Borneo. He sighed then showed Flyer a mango. Flyer got excited and flew to Borneo. Flyer picked the mango off Borneo's hand and perched on his shoulder before eating it.
" You better watch your bird young man!" Amir exclaimed.
" Are you okay?" Holy Rome asked.
" Obviously not!" Amir said.
" Sorry, Flyer just got upset. He doesn't trust strangers." Borneo said.
" Who are you anyway?" Brandon asked.
" I am the micronation of Borneo from… I don't really know which country." Borneo said.
" A what?" Brandon asked.
" A micronation." Amir said. " They're country wannabes. But I never heard of Borneo being one."
" I'm planning to be a micronation, but I can't tell which country to claim my independence from." Borneo said before sighing, Flyer squawked in response.
" Yeah… Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei do share the island." Amir said.
" W-what kind of bird is Flyer? I-I've never seen that kind of bird before." Holy Rome said softly, being slightly nervous.
" He's a rhinosaurus hornbil, a common bird on my island." Borneo said. " Hey, who are you guys? I don't know your names."
" I'm the awesome Amir! This chinese guy is Brandon and the other guy is Holy Roman Empire, or as we call him Holy Rome." Amir introduced.
" So you're Amir! And you're Brandon. I've heard about you guys from Sealand. You're the ambassadors of the german countries. Is Holy Rome a country? I've heard of that name before from somewhere." Borneo said.
" I used to be, I'm sort of like Prussia, except my empire fell long ago." Holy Rome said, a little more confidently.
" How long ago?" Borneo asked.
" Two centuries ago." Holy Rome mentioned. Borneo was shocked.
" Two centuries?! And you haven't disappeared?!" Borneo exclaimed.
" Yeah… I managed to survive." Holy Rome mentioned " It may not be long now, but at least I'm fine." Borneo thought about Holy Rome's survival. How can he survive for so long? Is he just lucky, or is there something else? Will it be the same for the micronations? Borneo always has a worry one of them will not even be a micronation, Nikoniko seems to be around that point if he doesn't put in the effort. He could imagine Nikoniko, walking around the streets of Japan, waiting to disappear. It's a scary thought.
" You don't have injuries right Amir?" Borneo asked Amir.
" I think I'll be fine." Amir said, Flyer squawked at Amir. He still didn't trust the prussian ambassador.
" Hey Borneo, we're playing frezbee. Do you want to join us?" Brandon said.
" Sure." Borneo said.
Meanwhile- the writer is getting tired of the word- Molossia was dealing with Jao Lan. Their meeting was slightly weird because Molossia had sneaked into the house and caught Jao Lan twerking. So it was… awkward. They were now both sitting on the couch, Jao Lan was eating a packet of chips.
" I am going to kill that little runt." Molossia murmured under his breath. He didn't expect Jao Lan to be like… this.
" What did you say?" Jao Lan asked.
" Nothin'." Molossia said. " Why the ***** were you tweaking earlier?"
" I like it." Jao Lan said " I'm a dancer."
" You're a what?" Molossia snapped. " That's it, the moment I return to the clubroom, the first thing I will do is strangle his little neck…"
" Who?" Jao Lan asked, eating another chip.
" Sealand." Molossia growled.
" Oh, him. He's pretty naive and gullible isn't he?" Jao Lan said.
" Annoying." Molossia " Very loud and annoying."
" Reminds me someone I know." Jao Lan said, thinking of Liang Hao. " Sealand took the role of that no one would want instantly."
" That's the runt for you." Molossia said. Then suddenly, a loud bang was heard and Tasha stormed into the room. Molossia was surprised by her sudden entrance.
" JAO LAN! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SKYPE ACCOUNT!" Tasha yelled as she stomped towards Jao Lan.
" Nothing, I just tweak it a bit." Jao Lan said.
" A BIT?! YOU FREAKING CHANGED MY STATUS TO ' I AM MADONNA' AND SENT SPAM TO EVERYONE IN MY CONTACTS! YOU EVEN CHANGED MY PROFILE! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW EMBARRASSING THAT IS?!" Tasha yelled. Molossia couldn't only think of one word for Tasha: loud.
" Yeah, why?" Jao Lan said. Tasha got even more fumed. Molossia wonders when Tasha would realise he is in the room.
" Don't hack into my account!" Tasha shouted.
" You were the one who gave the password, so I'll hack it." Jao Lan said. Give someone a password to your personal account? That sounded stupid to Molossia.
" Gave you?! Since when?!" Tasha yelled.
" Last week." Jao Lan said.
Tasha sighed loudly and looked around the room. That was when she finally realised that Molossia is in the same room. Tasha jumped in shock and scream " AAAAh! A gangster!"
Take not that Molossia looks like a gangster. Tasha quickly jumped unto the couch and hid behind Jao Lan by placing him in front of her. Then she screamed " MAMI!"
" Mummy?" Molossia said.
" What the hell are you doing girl?!" Jao Lan exclaimed.
" Who the hell is that?!" Tasha exclaimed.
" Oh, him. He's Molossia, some micronation of… Ohio?" Jao Lan introduced wrongly.
" Neveda." Molossia corrected. " Man don't freak out okay? Damn Jao Lan your girlfriend is loud!"
The two ambassadors were silent. Molossia didn't know why they were so silent. Then Tasha broke the silence " He's not my boyfriend!"
" Well that's what Sealand said." Molossia said.
" Tasha will you stop gripping my shoulders!" Jao Lan exclaimed, she looked down and freaked out, letting go of Jao Lan and falling off the couch. Jao Lan quickly looked down and said " Tasha! What are you doing?!" Jao Lan exclaimed. The two then started to argue. Molossia looked at Jao Lan's abandoned packet of chips, took it and started eating the chips while watching Jao Land and Tasha argue.
This, is going to be great. Note sarcasm.
Meanwhile- the writer is going to be fed up with the word 'meanwhile'- Hutt River was thinking of a good excuse. Something that is believable. Why else would he be at Belgium's house to meet Penny? He has no relations with her. The only suitable excuse so far is to ask her out on a date, but she has a boyfriend so that's out. Then suddenly, the door swung open.
" Who the hell are you?! What are you doing here?!" A loud, booming feminine voice yelled at Hutt River. Hutt River jumped in shock, he looked at the girl. Is this Penny? She doesn't look like the girl in the drawing. Well Sealand wasn't the best drawer.
" Who are you?" Hutt River asked.
" Aria, ambassador of Poland." Aria said. " Now answer my question."
" Aria?! Poland!? I thought this is Belgium's house!" Hutt River exclaimed.
" It is Belgium's house stupid, I'm visiting Penny." Aria said. Sealand hasn't warned him how Penny and Aria are close friends. Then Penny appeared next to Aria and said " Hey, don't yell. Who are you?"
" I am the micronation of Hutt River, Australia." Hutt River said grandly.
" I thought he was some lost nobel." Aria said, not bothering to keep her voice down. Lost! Why would he be- that's it!
" Well, I am a man of high class. But I am indeed lost. I was visiting… Landonia when I lost my way. So I thought I would ask for directions." Hutt River said.
" No." Aria said. Before she walked in, Penny stopped her. " Come on Aria, what happened to becoming kind."
" Right… but what kind of country is called Hutt River?" Aria said.
" I have no idea." Penny said. Ouch, that hurt Hutt River. Then Penny said to Hutt River " Where do you need to go."
" Australia." Hutt River said. Penny was silent.
" Sorry, we can't help you." Aria said, she was about to walk in the house again when Penny stopped her. " Aria."
" Let me go Penny." Aria said " We don't know where Australia is."
" Well… why don't you come in? Belgium's out and should be coming home soon. When she's back home she can help you get back home." Penny said.
" Thank you." Hutt River said. He smiled for himself, he got in. Good Hutt River. Aria glared at Hutt River and said " Okay, whatever. Come in Hutt."
Hutt River got irritated. " Don't call me Hutt! I hate nicknames, it's not proper."
" Whatever." Aria said, who was already in the house. Penny didn't stop her this time. Instead she sighed and said " Sorry about Aria, she tends to be like that. Come in. I'm Penny by the way."
" Thank you Penny." Hutt River said as he entered Belgium's home. Now the hard part: making friends. That won't be easy, especially with Aria around.
Ladonia wasn't enjoying it at all. He was in front of Denmark's house. Maybe he shouldn't do it at all. Ladonia put his hands into his pockets and started to walk away when he heard a voice yell " Ladonia! Watch out!"
Ladonia stopped walking and looked at the direction of the source of the sound, only to narrowly miss a dagger that swoop past him and hit a tree trunk nearby. Ladonia didn't move. That was a close one. Liang Hao, in a long-sleeve shirt and jeans, came running towards Ladonia. He was carrying a tube filled with daggers on his back.
" Hey Laddie! Sorry about that. It was an accident. I was just practicing." Liang Hao said.
" Practicing?! You freaking nearly stabbed me!" Ladonia exclaimed.
" Well you should be fine ether way." Liang Hao said " I mean, you're a micronation and micro nations don't die so easily unless their country is damn messed up!"
" IT WOULD HAVE HURT!" Ladonia exclaimed.
" So Laddie, what are you doing here?" Liang Hao asked.
" Don't call me Laddie!" Ladonia exclaimed. By the way, it's pronounced as ' Lea-dee'
" Well… I'll make it up to you. I beat Bryan in a game of LOL so I got tons of euros right now. I'll treat you to something okay?" Liang Hao said. Ladonia was hesitant at first then he said " Fine… but put those knives down first." That was easy, he can hang out with him. But there are two complications.
He doesn't want to hang out with Liang Hao
HE WANTS TO GET THE FREAKING HELL OUT OF THERE.
Kristina's P.O.V
Seborga, Bryan and I were walking along the streets of Rome, eating our ice-cream cones. I was eating a chocolate chip, Seborga got vanilla and Bryan got strawberry. Don't ask me about Bryan's choice preferences, I don't get it ether.
" So what do we do now?" I asked.
" I'm not sure." Seborga said " Take a siesta?"
" So much like an italian." I murmured as I bit the cone biscuit. Yum.
" I've got an idea! Follow me!" Bryan said, then he ran off. Seborga and I looked at each other than we ran after him. Bryan ran towards the park, to a group of boys.
" Hey dudes! Bryan's here!" Bryan exclaimed. The group of boys around our age spotted Bryan and greeted him as if he's a log lost friend. Then he pointed to us and said " Meet Kristina and… um… what's your name?"
" You forgot again?" Seborga said " S-"
" Mentioned your human name!" I quickly whispered in Seborga's ear. Seborga stopped and then said instead " Michael Larzano."
" Michael! They're friends of mine. Let's add them to the football team for today okay, since I don't see Mateo and Z here." Bryan said.
" But Kristina's a girl!" One of the boys yelled. What?! Since when football is only boys sport.
" Hey! Got a problem!" I yelled, stepping forward to show authority. A few of the boys stepped back.
" Yeah. I have no problem with Micheal but girls are meant to do girl stuff! Or at least sit aside and watch the game to encourage us guys!" The boy yelled.
" Oh yeah old man?" I said. The boys around us cried a furor of exclamations like " Oooooooh!" or " Burn!"
" So you think you're better than me?" The boy said.
" You want to bet?" I said.
" Alright! Break up to five on five!" The boy yelled to his friends, " Split up to my team, or the girl's."
" I have a name you know." I said.
" I do too. Grantanio Mitsurodo. Remember that." The boy said. Then they split up into groups. Seborga stayed with me on my team. Bryan undoubtfuly betrayed us and went to Grantanio's team.
" You sure about this Kris?" Seborga whispered to me.
" I'm sure. I'll take defence." I said, " Can you do attack?"
" Sure thing." Seborga said " I'm good."
Then I look at the three boys who joined me. One of them willingly joined while the two others seemed to have been kicked out of Grantanio's group. Why do I have a feeling we have the disadvantage? We quickly went to our positions. Seborga- or Micheal- stood in front of Grantanio. Then Grantanio put the ball down. Before I knew it, the ball was being passed around by Grantanio's team. The other two boys were lagging behind. Soon Grantanio was near me and I tried to get the ball, I was able to keep up with him but I couldn't get the ball out of his grasp. Then Grantanio shots- the boy who was willing to be on our team who was also the goalie- blocked it.
" Woo! Go dude!" I exclaimed.
" It's Herzado." The boy said. " You aren't bad ether, so far."
" I've played football before. Don't underestimate me because of my gender." I said, looking at the grumbling Grantanio. Then I told him " You gotta to do better than that."
" You just got lucky." Grantanio said. Then he stormed off. For the rest of the game, we started playing more seriously. I was able to get some balls back from a few attackers but Grantanio was the hardest. He always ran faster than me, I barely could get the ball out his possession. He scored the most goals. He would have scored more with Herzado wasn't such a good goalie. Seborga's really good too, he scored most of our goals. Everytime Grantanio scored a goal, he would insult me. I couldn't bottle my anger once and I yelled " Hey Grantanio! Do you know who else is also named Grantanio?"
" What?" Grantanio said.
" A blabbing fool in 'the Merchant of Venice'!" I yelled. Grantanio got red in the face and yelled at his team to work harder. Sometimes Seborga would help defend me, sometimes it was Herzado. Bryan however never did support me, he just kept laughing at my defeat. Typical.
When I was defending, I heard a familiar voice " Hey bella~ What are you doing?" I blushed and out of shock, I fell down. Unfortunately Grantanio was in the way and he fell along with me. I looked at the direction of the sound. Italy was walking unto the field, waving happily at me. I quickly got up.
" Feli, what are you doing here?" I asked Italy.
" Who?" Herzado asked.
" Feli's Kristina's boyfriend." Bryan mentioned.
" Oh great, now she's going to rat out on us and we'll be facing with another fight. You haven't apologised!" Grantanio said.
" Oh! Sorry sorry!" I said as I offered him a hand, He pushed it aside and got up.
" So~ What are you doing?" Italy asked me.
" Football. Bryan invited me into the game." I said.
" Ooh~ Can I join too? I want to be on your team bella~" Italy said. Then he noticed Seborga. " Hey Seborga~! How are you doing!" Uh oh.
" Seborga? I thought his name is Michael." Herzado said. Before 'Michael' could answer, I answered for him " That's his middle name! Michael Seborga Larzano!"
" Weird name." Herzado said. Phew. Then I quickly whispered into Italy ear " Use his human name!" Then Italy nodded.
" I'm out! I'm tired anyway." One of the boys on my team said as he walked out of the field and sat aside. Italy took his place. Then we played again. Italy was fine when he was attacking, which he did most of the time thanks to Seborga. But when he's defending…
Grantanio was running towards Italy with the ball. Italy freaked out and took out a white flag. Everyone stared at him. Grantanio took the change to kick the ball into the goal. Herzado didn't even notice the ball pass through him. Italy was crying. Grantanio smirked and then laughed at Italy. I grew angry.
" TIME OUT!" I yelled. Then I went to Italy and took his white flag. Then I hissed at him " Feliciano, we're not in the battle field! Don't you do that again, it looks weird."
" B-but I was just trying my best." Italy said. I sighed and said " Feli… maybe I should keep the white flags for now." Italy was confused when I said 'flags'. I looked at him in a serious way. Italy sighed and gave me the held he held, then another in his sleeve, and finally one in his boot. I smiled and said " Thanks." Grantanio was laughing harder than before.
" Who the hell carry white flags around?! HA HA HA! Not to mention more than one! Ha HA! What a whimp!" Grantanio laughed. I wasn't done yet. I went to Grantanio and started hitting him with the white flags. Grantanio was caught off guard and shield himself with his arms.
" Hey! Stop hitting me!" He yelled.
" Sorry Grantanio! I forgot to warn you about Kristina's violent nature!" Bryan said.
" Don't you dare insult him!" I yelled. Then I stop beating him and stormed away. Then I heard a voice shrill " GRANTANIO!"
" Oh no… guys, hide me! I forgot about today!" Grantanio exclaimed. Then he quickly ran towards the bushes and hid. Huh? Then a red long-haired girl stormed into the field. She was wearing a white blouse with a green mini skirt and looks extremely angry. Then she looked at me and said " Excuse me, have you seen Grantanio?"
" The sexist is in the bushes." I said, pointing to the direction of Grantanio's hiding place. The girl stormed towards the bushes.
" Oooh! Grantanio's in trouble!" One of the boys exclaimed.
" Who's she?" I ask.
" Oh, that's his girlfriend." Bryan told me. The girl went to the bushes and pulled Grantanio up by pulling his ear. Grantanio yelled in pain. The girl yelled " WHERE WERE YOU! I waited in the plaza for an hour!"
" Ah ah! Sorry Bella, I forgot…" Grantanio murmured.
" Forgot?! You are such a jerk!" The girl said. Then she lets go of Grantanio and storms off. Grantanio, clutching his now red ear, ran after her calling " Mella!"
" Bye Grantanio~!" Italy called out. Poor Grantanio- but he deserved it! Seborga had to go back afterwards, said something about getting Wy out of trouble. Well at least we've spent sometime together.
Unknown P.O.V
Sealand got bored with Rani and was now talking with Riana. They talked about the stuff they had in common like transformers or fun games.
" You sure there is no secret?" Sealand asked for the upthenth time.
" No, none at all." Riana said. Sealand pouted. " I really want to be a country…"
" I'm sure you will be Sealand. Britain is just… well… doesn't think it's time for you to be a country yet." Riana said.
" Don't sugarcoat with me!" Sealand said " He said I will never become a country, just because I am just an oil factory in the middle of the ocean…"
" You will, you just have to work hard!" Riana said.
" But that's what everyone said. And I'm still no closer to being a country!" Sealand said. Riana was silent for a moment.
" Hey Sealand, do you want to know a little secret?" Riana said. Sealand's eyes went wide and his frown turned into a grin. So there was a secret! Sealand tuned in attentively.
" The countries are no better than micronations." Riana said. Sealand got confused. Huh? What does that mean. " You told me about your club right? It's no different from the world meeting. Nothing gets done! There's always some trouble and we always do our own things. Even if we discuss something we always get off topic! To be able to create the club Sealand, it's great progress."
" Really?" Sealand said
" Yeah. You are a good leader, you will become a great nation someday." Riana said. Sealand smiled. Then he got up and said " Thank you Riana! That made me feel better. I better go to the clubhouse to see how the rest are doing. Soon, maybe we all will be recognised! Bye Riana!" Then Sealand ran out of the living roon. Riana sighed, then she looked at Rani. Rani meowed. Riana smiled.
Then Riana noticed that Sealand hadn't left the house yet. He was peeking behind the door. Then he said " Um… can I see you again soon? Maybe tomorrow?"
" Sure, I don't mind." Riana said.
" Yay! Thanks Riana!" Sealand said as he left. Riana knew that she's made a new friend.
At another part of the world, Wy and Syrian were chatting excitedly. They had gotten bored with drawing. Xiao Ai was busy eating a stalk of bamboo leaves. Then China entered the room.
" Syrian! There you are, Whe- oh, who is this aru?" China said as he approached the girls.
Wy stood up and put out her hand. China took it and shake it " I am the country of Wy."
" Wy aru? I've never heard of such a country." China said.
" She's a friend of mine." Syrian said.
" Oh! I see. Well make yourself at home Wy. Would you two like some snacks aru?" China said as she showed them a basket filled with snacks. Wy was staring at the snacks. Would be professional to take the snacks? Would it be childish to take one? But those snacks look delicious…
" We'll take them! Thanks China!" Syrian said as she got then and took the snacks from China. China smiled and then said " Well I would go and get some drinks. Come on Xiao Ai. You are so cute aru~!" China picked Xiao Ai up and left the room. Xiao Ai didn't seem to mind at all.
Syrian put down the baskets of snacks on the table, took one and started to eat it. Wy sat down next to her, staring at the snacks. Syrian looked at Wy and said " Aren't you going to have some. Come on, they aren't poisonous." Wy hesistated.
" Come on, try one. They are really good." Syrian said as she passed on of the biscuit baskets to Wy. " China would be upset if you don't try one." Wy took the biscuit and started to nibble on it, the bites are getting bigger each time. They are good.
" Wow, this is good." Wy said.
" See? I told you." Syrian said.
" Hey Syrian, why are you living with China?" Wy asked.
" Well China's the one who found me in the first place and everyone agreed to stay with the ones who found them. So I'm stuck with him. But he's good, he's like my older brother, despite being chinese." Syrian said.
" No, I mean why aren't you with your family?" Wy said. " Why are you an ambassador?"
Syrian was silent for awhile. Then she said " I come from another dimension. I came here by accident and since the dimension machine is broken, I'm stuck here. So I end up staying with China. I miss my family though. I wonder how mom and dad is doing. I became an ambassador somehow. I think it's because I help him or something."
" I see…" Wy said as she took another biscuit and bit into it. China returned to the room with a tray containing a teapot filled with 'bo leh' tea which is a non bitter tea and three teacups. China put the set on the table and started to pour the tea. China looked at Wy and said " I'm glad you are enjoying the food aru."
" Yeah, it's really good!" Wy said, smiling.
" Cute!~" China said as he glomp her. Wy got shocked and struggled to get out of China's grasp. " SYRIAN! HELP ME!"
" Sorry aru." China said as he let go.
" It's okay, it took me some time to stop that. Even once in awhile China can't help but do the same to me." Syrian said.
" What? You can be cute sometimes aru." China said. Syrian gave a disgusted face and said " Why does it sound so wrong?"
" Here Wy, try a fortune cookie." China said as he gave one to Wy. Wy has heard about fortune cookies from Nikoniko. She took it, opened the wrapping and read the fortune. Syrian also took one. Wy seemed to be staring at her's.
" I got ' You will come across an unfortunate accident'. That stinks." Syrian said " What did you get Wy?" Syrian looked over Wy's shoulder to read the fortune.
" What is it aru?" China asked.
" It's 'You will real your goal and fulfil your wishes'." Wy said. Goal… her goal to be a country… she will succeed?
" That's so cool!" Syrian said " Exchange cookies?"
" No." Wy said and ate her cookie quickly.
" No! Good fortune cookie! Oh well." Syrian said as she ate her's. Later that day, Syrian fell over Xiao Ai, poor panda.
In Austria's house, Kugelmugel and Bec were quickly running away. The two retreated to the corridor. Bec was giggling uncontrollably. Kugelmugel was waiting anxiously, clutching his paintbrushes and paint palette tightly. Then they heard a loud scream " WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO MY CLOTHES?!"
Bec and Kugelmugel couldn't help it anymore and bursted out laughing.
" Kugel! That was genius! I can't believe you did that! I can't wait to see Austria in it!" Bec exclaimed, laughing.
" It was YOUR idea! You were the one who realised my designs fit Austria's clothing." Kugelmugel said.
" Hahahahaha! I really want to see him now in those clothes!" Bec exclaimed.
" He will have to, we threw the rest of his clothes away." Kugelmugel said. Soon their laughing died down. Austria should be coming out of his room soon.
" Hey, aren't you and Austria good friends?" Kugelmugel asked Bec.
" Friends? Um… I guess so. I didn't get along with him at first because I'm completely different from him, but then we respect each other and yeah. I have to get along with him or I'll boot myself out." Bec said " Hungary convinced me to stay."
" I heard you two are pretty close." Kugelmugel said.
" Yeah. You can say that." Bec said.
" It sounds like you have feelings for him…" Kugelmugel murmured. Bec, unfortunately, heard it. She was staring at Kugelmugel in a weird way. Then she got angry. She pulled Kugelmugel up by the collar (she was much taller than him) and started shaking him rapidly.
" DON'T YOU PAIR ME UP WITH THAT STUPID ARISTOCRAT!" Bec yelled. Kugelmugel tried to stop being dizzy as Bec shook him, at least he didn't get the rifle.
" WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Austria yelled. Bec stopped shaking Kugelmugel and looked at Austria, Kugelmugel too. Austria wore it, the pink, frilly suit with hearts all over it. There were also random doodles all over the suit, mainly from Bec. The culprits were easy to spot since Bec and Kugelmugel were still covered in paint. But they didn't bother then, they started laughing out loud.
" HAHAHAHAHAHA! LOOK AT YOU! YOU LOOK LIKE ANOTHER POLAND!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bec laughed out loud, so hard it made her cry tears and fell on the floor, clutching her stomach.
" Look what you've done! You've ruined my clothes!" Austria exclaimed as he strutted forward and showed them his completely painted clothes. " Not to mention its still wet! I have to bathe all over again!"
" Hey, it's an improvement, an art." Kugelmugel said.
" Oh my god, look! Hahahahahahaha!" Bec continued to laugh.
" You will pay for clothes Bec." Austria demanded.
" I have no euros, sorry." Bec said, shrugging. Austria was fuming with anger. " Where are my clothes?"
" I don't know." Kugelmugel said " Bec hid them and wouldn't tell me where it is. She won't tell you ether." Austria got even angrier. Then he said " I demand you give me my clothes Bec."
" Not for a million years!" Bec exclaimed. Austria sighed. He would never dream that one day Kugelmugel and Bec would team up together against him.
" Anyway, what was the commotion about before I came?" Austria asked. Bec was silent. She quickly got up and got her rifle out of nowhere. Kugelmugel freaked out " WHERE DID YOU GET THE RIFLE?!"
" Hungary taught me how to do it." Bec said, who was now slightly blushing. How can you not when someone just paired you up with someone you never dream of being with who is now wearing a valentines day theme clothes? Then Bec, gritting her teeth, aimed the gun at Kugelmugel and exclaimed " YOU'RE DEAD KUGEL!"
Kugelmugel jumped up in shock and quickly ran. Bec shot a few bullets at Kugelmugel's direction and chased after him. Austria sighed and told himself " I should ask Hungary where my clothes are…"
At another part of the world, Nikoniko and Ariel were walking around at the game arcade. Ariel has been to the game arcade a few times before. She hasn't been to one recently, that's how Nikoniko came with the idea of the arcade. They had just finished a drumming game and Ariel had fail epiclly, Nikoniko had beaten her by a touchdown.
" That's it. I give up. You're way too good with arcade games." Ariel said as she put the drumsticks aside and step back.
" Of course, I play this many times." Nikoniko said " It's hopeless for a beginner like you. Do you want to try the next game?"
" Sure, it's for fun right." Ariel said. Then Nikoniko walked off and Ariel followed. They came across a dancing game and many people were crowded around there, yelling a furious uproar. Ariel, curious, went to the nearest person and asked in japanese she learnt from japan " What's going on?"
" Those girls are hogging the machine for an hour! They won't let us use it!" The person complained. Ariel asked Nikoniko for a translation. After giving the translation, Nikoniko pushed his way through the crowd. Ariel quickly struggled to get pass the crowd after him.
When Ariel went to the front of the crowd, she saw two girls stepping on the floor boards of the game while dancing to the music. Though their dancing was good, the crowd wasn't pleased. They kept yelling at the girls to stop. The music ends and then one of them in a blue mini dress and pumps yelled at the crowd in japanese.
" Um, excuse me." Ariel said, stepping forward. The girl looked at her.
" You don't speak Japenese?" The girl asked in perfect english. Ariel nodded.
" Well get out of the way, we got to the machine first and we will play as long as we like." said the girl Ariel couldn't imagine how she can be do direct and selfish. Nikoniko stepped forward and said in English " I will challenge you. One on one. If you win, you will be able to play as long as you want. If I win, you will let the others play." The girl answered in Japnese, then she told her friend to get down from the machine. The girl accepted the challenge.
Nikoniko got unto the machine and the crowds cheered for him. Ariel was stepping back, but she's also curious how it will turn out. Nikoniko seems confident, not to mention he hasn't lose an arcade game against Ariel.
" What song do you want?" The girl asked Nikoniko in japenese.
" Any song. Your pick." Nikoniko said in the same language. The girl smiled, she was taller than Nikoniko, it seems like she's over powering him. The girl choose a really difficult song to dance to. The music started playing. Nikoniko kept his cool. Then the arrows on the TV started moving down and the avatars appeared. The two competitors started stepping on the floor buttons to the beat.
It looked simple at first. The girl was already enjoying herself by mimicking the avatar dancing. Nikoniko just stepped. Soon it got harder and harder until he two were practically jumping up and down. But Nikoniko never missed a beat, so did the girl. The crowds started to cheer. Then the girl missed a few perfects, she was getting tired. Nikoniko however never missed. In the end, when they got to the final position and the song ended, the girl was panting. The winner showed of Nikoniko's avatar. Everyone cheered, he had beaten the girl. Ariel was shocked, that didn't look easy at all. The girl got angry and stormed off, her friend running after her. Nikoniko got off the machine and walked away. Ariel went to him.
" Nikoniko, that was awesome!" Ariel exclaimed.
" It's nothing. I just figured the girl is bound to be tired so I got the higher advantage. I've spent a lot of my time on arcade games." Nikoniko said.
" But that was really good!" Ariel said.
" I would have been happier if I knew I'm still 14." Nikoniko said " Many years has passed since then." Ariel was silent. Then she said " Well it's good I guess."
" How? Being a micronation is a curse." Nikoniko said.
" Not really." Ariel said " Yes it's lonely and you have a lot of other bad stuff, but look at what you just did. You have more time than others, you can change things and help people like you did to those people. Countries have their own responsibilities, they help people. And they are happy themselves, trust me. They are. You should embrace who you are now. I think you're a good person Nikoniko."
Nikoniko stopped walking. He was staring at Ariel. No one, no one, has told him that before. They keep asking him to put more effort into being a nation. He never knew why he should. Nikoniko was silent, then he said " Thank you."
" For what?" Ariel asked.
" Nothing, want to get food?" Nikoniko said.
Meanwhile- the writer is running out of creative ideas of other words than 'meanwhile'- at Germany's house, Borneo, Brandon, Amir and Holy Rome were sitting in the field drinking soft drinks Holy Rome bought. Borneo was playing with the frezbee.
" You aren't bad Borneo." Amir said. " You can run."
" Thanks, but I can't catch it all the time." Borneo said.
" At least it's better than getting tired after running a few steps." Brandon mentioned bluntly.
" Hey, I am not as fast as you guys okay." Amir said.
" Hey Borneo, can I have the frezbee?" Holy Rome asked as he put his can of soda aside and got up. Borneo passed the freebee to him and the Holy Rome called out for Flyer. Flyer lifted it's head up.
" Can he understand commands?" Holy Rome asked.
" Only if it comes from me, why?" Borneo said.
" I want to try something. When I tell the frezbee, tell Flyer to catch it okay?" Holy Rome said. " Ready?"
" Flyer!" Borneo called. Flyer flew to Borneo before squawking. Then Holy Rome threw the frezbee in the air, Borneo ordered Flyer to catch the frezbee. Flyer could easily catch the feezbee. This happened a few more times. Then Brandon asked for a turn. He took the frezbee, then threw it in the air really hard. It zoomed so fast that Flyer couldn't catch up and flew all the way till… who know where? The four boys were shocked, looks like Brandon had gotten TOO strong.
Flyer was upset. He flew toward Brandon and started pecking on Brandon's head. Brandon quickly covered his head. Flyer kept pecking as if to complain how in the world was he able to catch that. Borneo quickly tried to help Brandon stop Flyer. Holy Rome and Amir was chasing after the frezbee, it was flying all the way to… Switzerland's house. Holy Rome was much faster than Amir so he got to the house much faster than Amir. He was in some sort of garden. He trudged through the bushes and then suddenly, he tripped on the branch and stumbled into someone's backyard.
Holy Rome spat out the leaves that got into his mouth when he fell and looked up. He was looking up at two people, a tall boy and a small girl. Who are those two? He's seen them before. He thought the girl looks sort of cute. Sam and Kyanna were staring at Holy Rome in return. Where did he come from? Kyanna was rubbing her forehead with her palm while Sam held the frezbee which was what he was inspecting before Holy Rome came in.
" Who the hell are you?" Sam said, drawing his pistol, then he stopped. He's seen him before, but where? He looks like a mini Germany who lost his authority. Sam quickly put back his gun, Switzerland's habits are rubbing unto him.
" I-I'm H-Holy Roman E-Empire." Holy Rome said, getting up. " S-sorry for intruding. I came to get the frezbee."
" Oh! You're Germany's long lost twin right? I knew I saw you somewhere before." Kyanna said. Holy Rome blushed slightly.
" Y-yeah." Holy Rome stammered.
" You better be careful at where you're throwing that thing. It hit Kyanna." Sam said.
" Oh! I'm sorry." Holy Rome said " It was an accident."
" No problem, it was really hard though." Kyanna said as Sam passed the frezbee back to Holy Rome. Then suddenly, there were a few gun shots. Holy Rome just managed to jump out of the way just in time, but his leg got grazed.
" Switzerland! Stop!" Sam yelled. Holy Rome looked up. It was Switzerland, aiming his gun at Holy Rome. An enemy.
" Run!" Kyanna said. Holy Rome nodded then quickly ran for his life. That guy is crazy. He bumped into Amir along the way.
" Woah dude, what happened?" Amir asked Holy Rome.
" Some crazy guy started shooting me." Holy Rome said " I was just trying to get the frezbee." Then he showed the frezbee to Amir.
" Oh, that was Switzerland. He doesn't like to be disturbed." Amir said " Trust me, I learnt it the hard way."
Then Amir realised that Holy Rome was blushing. He didn't know that Holy Rome was thinking about the girl he just met. " Hey dude, you okay?"
Holy Rome jumped in shock and said " Y-yeah, I'm fine."
" Seriously, what happened. Did you meet some girl?" Amir asked as he followed Holy Rome back to where they left off.
With Brandon and Borneo, they were sitting on the ground, resting. Borneo had apologised several times to Brandon for Flyer's attack. So many times that it made Brandon nervous and asked him to stop.
" Does it still hurt?" Borneo asked.
" A bit. But I should be fine. I think Amir had it worse than me." Brandon said. Then silence.
" Hey Brandon." Borneo said " How are you so popular among the countries?"
" I'm not." Brandon said.
" Oh. I thought you were since you are Germany's ambassador." Borneo said.
" Well I am in that sense." Brandon said.
" So how did you do it?" Borneo asked.
" I don't know, it just happened." Brandon said " One moment I was clueless at this craziness and the next thing I knew, I'm an ambassador. Why do you want to know anyway?"
" Well… because we micronations don't get such things." Borneo said. " I mean we want to be recognised as countries but countries don't want to. It's sort of frustrating so I thought maybe you would know how. I guess not." Brandon was silent for a moment.
" Help." Brandon said.
" What?" Borneo replied.
" Help. That's all I can think of. Though people cannot recognise you, then make them recognise you. If you offer aid or some kind of trade, you'll at least be recognised as something rather than nothing. I became an ambassador because I help Germany with whatever he needs help with. Maybe it's the same for you." Brandon said. Borneo smiled.
" Thanks Brandon. You are a good guy." Borneo said. Then the two spotted Holy Rome and amir running towards them. Borneo smiled, he got what he came for. But… maybe he can stay for a little while longer.
Molossia, on the other hand, was no where near to asking the secret to being recognised. Mainly because Tasha and Jao Lan kept arguing on what to do with Molossia. The topics changed very fast. Molossia was eating the abandoned packed of chips while Cheshire, Jao Lan's cat, lay on the couch next to him and meowed. Tasha's large tabby cat, who is named Cuddles and came along with Tasha, was playing Cheshire's ball of yarn.
" What's up with cats these days? I'm seeing them everywhere." Molossia thought.
" Hey, can't we actually do something instead of arguing 24/7?" Tasha said. Finally!
" You were the one who went on and on about it." Jao Lan grumbled.
" Excuse me?!" Tasha exclaimed.
" Hey! I'm here you know." Molossia said as he got up. They practically forgot about him. " Let's do what I want to do."
" What's that? Please don't let it be something dangerous or stupid or-" Tasha didn't get to finished because Jao Lan elbowed her. " Hey!"
" We, are going to do a little pranking." Molossia said.
…
" Do you think America will fall for it?" Tasha asked " I mean he could just not take it."
" He will." Jao Lan and Molossia said instantly.
" You're a prankster huh? That's pretty cool." Jao Lan said " I prank Tasha and the other girls all the time."
" Yeah." Tasha said, half laughing and half glaring " All the time."
" Well I had no idea what else to do to be honest. I wanted to gamble or something but you guys wouldn't join me. So I thought a simple prank should do it. I do it all the time with the other micronations. Besides that's how I became friends with Kristina in the first place."
" You're friends with Kris?" Tasha asked.
" A few years ago before Kris went back to her own dimension or something, we micronations thought she's one too and decided to let her in with one of our meetings. Turns out she isn't a micronation but we've gained a little more respect from our respective countries thanks to Kris."
" Let me guess, you are doing the same for us." Jao Lan said. Molossia jumped. Oh no. He found out. Ladonia did warn him about Jao Lan being a smart alec.
" It's not my idea. It's Sealand's." Molossia said " We want to find out how you guys are so well recognised by the other nations. Otherwise I wouldn't be here hanging out with you two fatties."
" WHAT?!" Tasha exclaimed. Then they heard a loud laughter.
" SH!" Jao Lan and Molossia shushed her. Tasha crossed her arms and snorted. Then the three of them quickly peeked behind the wall of a doorway. America had entered the living room in another doorway. America called out " Hey Jao Lan! You home? I've got great news for ya!"
Silence. America looked around the room. Molossia was trying to contain his laughter while Jao Lan put a hand over Tasha's mouth to make her containing her laughter. Then America noticed a huge burger on the coffee table.
" Sweet! Free food. Maybe Jao Lan left this for me!" America said as he instantly grabbed the burger and bit into it. Then America stopped. Then he pulled out the uneaten part of the burger from his mouth and swallowed whatever he had in his mouth. He stared at the burger, he was looking at a dead lizard sticking out of the burger.
" AAAAAH!" America exclaimed as he dropped the burger. The burger fell apart and the rubber lizard bounced slightly before laying down on the ground. The three pranksters burst into laughter.
America looked for the source of the sound and saw the three laughing, with Tasha being the loudest.
" HAHAHAHAHA! I can't believe you feel for it!" Tasha exclaimed, clutching her stomach.
" See! I told you he would take it!" Jao Lan laughed.
" The look on your face!" Molossia exclaimed before laughing hard again. America laughed too, with a bit of uncertainty and said " Ha ha, okay. You guys got me." Then he picked up the slightly damp rubber lizard and threw it towards Tasha's direction yelling " Catch!"
Tasha screamed and stepped back as the lizard hit the ground once more. Then Tasha went stomping towards America, yelling at him. America just laughed obnoxiously. Jao Lan and Molossia were finally calming down after laughing so hard.
" You're pretty cool. That was a really good idea." Jao Lan said.
" Same for you. That was the perfect place to put it." Molossia said.
" You know, you can become a country by being friends with America you know." Jao Lan said.
" Huh? What do you mean?" Molossia asked.
" Well it's pretty simple. You keep provoking America so he has every reason to not give you your independence or recognise you as a country." Jao Lan said. " So if your friends with him, he would grow comfortable with you and recognise you as one. I mean you are taking a part of his people and he wants them to be safe under another protection. Being his friend and proving you can take of your country gives you your independence."
Molossia was silent for that moment. Then he smiled and pat Jao Lan on the back " Thank dude. I needed that. You aren't such a bad guy. I need to go."
" Okay. See you soon." Jao Lan said.
" Yeah, if you're there to see it happen." Molossia said. Then he ran out. Jao Lan understood what he meant. They would see each other again if America hasn't found the way home. He looks at America. Has he found it yet?
In Penny's house, Hutt River was talking with Penny and Aria. It had seemed awkward at first but then he got more comfortable with them. He explained how he is more of the aristocratic person, the annoying younger micronations of the micronations club and his fellow micronation Wy.
" So Wy isn't your sister?" Penny asked. " I thought she would be."
" Yeah, we're not exactly related. But we may be in some complicated way." Hutt River said " So do you two have any siblings?"
" I don't." Aria said " Good thing too, I hate little kids. It was so annoying seeing Sealand run around and mess things up."
" I know how you feel." Hutt River said.
" Yeah, I have an older sister." Penny said., nibbling on a waffle cracker from the bowl of snack on the table in front of them. " I miss her dearly."
Hutt River looked at her. Then he said " But you still do see her right? I mean she is your sister."
Aria and Penny looked at each other. Then Aria asked him " You mean, you don't know?"
" Know about what?" Hutt River asked.
" We're stuck here. We can't go back home because the dimension machine is broken." Penny explained.
" Oh… I'm sorry then." Hutt River said as he picked up a cup of tea Penny served earlier and took a sip from it.
" Don't be. we're fine." Aria said. " I just wish America would hurry up and finish the dimension machine soon."
Then they were silent. What should Hutt River do now? He still hasn't got the answer to his question. Then he said " Well, it won't be that bad would it. I mean you still have your fellow ambassadors and countries right? They seem to accept you."
" I had a hard time adjusting, besides I didn't feel like I belong. But now, yeah. It's great." Penny said smiling. " I just wish I have my family with me."
" I'll be glad when I get out of this place." Aria said " Though I admit I will miss Poland."
" When you leave? So that means you won't come back?" Hutt River asked. Penny and Aria were both silent.
" I never really thought about that possibility." Penny said.
" Yeah… I never actually thought of going back and then coming back here ether." Aria said. They both seem… upset. Hutt River then tried to lighten up the mood " So, where's Belgium?"
Penny didn't really shift into the subject at first, she was deep in thought. Aria seems grateful for it and keeps on the subject as long as she can until Penny joins in. But he could see the two were probably disturbed. He thinks he's failed. Oh well… he should do his best to at least be friend with them. Help them forget about whatever was in their minds.
Meanwhile (the writer is relieved that this is the last time she's using the word), Ladonia was chewing on a liquorice, watching Liang Hao eat his large sundae at the other side of the table. Liang Hao brought him to a sweet shop and bought him a bunch of liquorice before going to the ice-cream parlour, where they were now sitting outside. It was one of those rare times it's actually sunny in this cold country. Liang Hao seems to miss having a good reason to eat ice-cream by the looks of it. Ladonia didn't ask for anything else. Before that, Liang Hao had been asking several questions which was too disturbing for him. Like his status as a micronation and personal habits. Not to mention random questions that doesn't seem to relate.
" How in the world did a guy like you become Denmark's ambassador?" Ladonia said. Liang Hao looked up, licking the chocolate flavour off his lips. Then he said " That's a long story." Then he continued eating his ice-cream.
" And you're not going to tell me?" Ladonia asked.
" Well you didn't ask." Liang Hao said. Ladonia's right eye twitch. Earlier this guy seemed to be willing to tell him anything and now he's acting all naive. What's up with him. " I was just having lunch in my school's canteen when I saw a bright light at one end of the canteen and the next thing I knew, boom! I was here, unconscious of course. Denny found me and took me in. I thought it was a dream at first but when Kris told me it isn't, well I was surprised. But I don't really see the problem. Apparently I had travelled to Hetalia two month later than the rest. If Kristina didn't have a crush on me I probably wouldn't have been here in the first place."
" She what?" Ladonia said, surprised yet strangely interested.
" Well she said she used to anyway." Liang Hao said " I guess that's why Penny's here too, since I like her and Kris got jealous. But look what happened now! Kris' got Italy and I lost Penny to Japan. Funny how things work out right?"
" Um… yeah." Ladonia said " But you still didn't answer my question."
" Huh? I thought I did." Liang Hao said " Well I guess staying with Denmark for some time and when I started helping him, I became his ambassador."
" So wait, there's no trick to becoming famous?!" Ladonia exclaimed.
" Why would I want to become famous? I'm fine the way I am. I mean people don't accept me all the time. So long as I am doing well, there's no way they could get into me right?" Liang Hao said. Ladonia kept quiet. Then he stood up and said " Well, thanks for the liquorice but I think I should go."
" Go? Aw come on! I was starting to have fun!" Liang Hao complained. Then Ladonia felt something hit his head. The rain had started to fall. Soon the rain got really heavy. Ladonia and Liang Hao quickly ran into the ice-cream pal our to get shelter. The raindrops pelted hard on the rooftop.
Liang Hao looked at Ladonia, a thick brown liquid trickled down from his scar. Then he said " Hey Laddie. You got something on your face."
Ladonia quickly tried to wipe whatever was on his face, making the painted scar even more smudged. Liang Hao then got the point and laughed out loud.
" What's so funny?" Ladonia asked.
" You're face! I didn't know that was fake! HAHAHAHA!" Liang Hao laughed. Ladonia quickly tried to find a way to look at his reflection. When he finally looked in a mirror nearby a sink, Ladonia quickly got rid of the paint.
" Shut up! It's not funny!" Ladonia yelled.
" Ha ha! That was so funny!" Liang Hao laughed. " But it was pretty cool. I actually thought that was real. It looks tough. I mean if no one finds out it's paint anyway."
Ladonia was quiet. Then he said " What did you say?"
" You heard me. I meant what I said. You look cool that way." Liang Hao said. Ladonia was hesitant then he murmured a thank you. They both looked out of the display case. The rain was hitting hard outside. Their table was soaking wet and rainwater that collected in Liang Hao's ice-cream sundae glass was overflowing.
" Well, there goes my ice-cream." Liang Hao said.
" Great. I can't go back. What am I to do now?" Ladonia said.
" Um… stay here till the rain stops?" Liang Hao said.
" Argh… I just want to play LOL or something." Ladonia said.
" You play that too? Awesome! Can I friend you there." Liang Hao said.
" No." Ladonia said.
" I've got the precious Taric." Liang Hao said, smirking.
" REALLY?! HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THAT!" Ladonia exclaimed. The two then began talking on and on about LOL. It seems like they would be good friends from now on.
…
Finally, at the end of the day, the micronations were gathered at the clubhouse. None of them spoke a word. Finally, Sealand spoke " So how was it guys?"
Still no one spoke. Then Ladonia said " They're… different."
" Yup, that's the perfect word for them." Wy said.
Silence.
" I guess we didn't expect that." Borneo said.
Yet more silence.
" Okay. I guess I will start with my report first. Riana is so nice to me! She told me about how she loves animals and actually thinks I can become a nation! I thought become a whole lot of trouble for the countries to recognise us would do the trick but then… she told me it wouldn't work. They all got famous because they help people. S-she says I will be a great nation if I created this club. She said not many people can do that." Sealand said, his energetic voice getting softer and softer.
" I got that advice too." Borneo said.
" Same." Ladonia said.
" I was told that we're taking care a part of someone's country and we should prove that we can take care of them." Molossia said " I didn't expect all this time that America could be not recognising me as a country because he's worried that I might not take care of his people well."
" I didn't get much out of them." Seborga said. " But I did see how close they were with the countries. I guess their personalities are just… good. I mean they don't really have ill intentions on anyone."
" Same for me." Kugelmugel said " Except for the pranking. It turns out the close friends with Austria is true. She calls me Kugel and actually returned my pen." Then he showed everyone the pen he lost.
" I told you I didn't use it!" Sealand called.
" It happened to me too." Hutt River added. " Those girls weren't that bad actually.
" I was told to appreciate my role as a micronation. Ariel made me realise things I've never thought before." Nikoniko said.
" How?" Sealand asked.
" She told me the bright side of being a micronation. I didn't know it could be a good thing." Nikoniko said. There was silence.
" Wy? What about you?" Seborga asked Wy. She was silent. Then she said " Syrian's a great person. I got a fortune about getting to my goals. China was nice to me too."
" You got recognised by a country?!" Ladonia exclaimed.
" No." Wy said " But I met him."
Seborga noticed that she was shaking and holding something tightly. The Seborga said " What's wrong? You're shivering."
Wy took in a deep breath. She stood up from her usual spot, went to Sealand's place, pushed Sealand out of the way and stood there. She close her eyes and then opened them again. She said " I-I-I d-d-drew a p-picture. I-I-I hope y-y-you like it." Then she squeezed her eyes shut and showed them her hand drawn picture of the nine of them. The boys went closer to get a better look. They didn't speak for a few moment. Then Sealand exclaimed " Is that me?!"
" No more looking!" Wy said as she quickly puts her drawing down, but before she could Molossia snatches it from her hands and puts it high in the air for everyone to see. Wy freaked out and quickly tried to reach for her sketch book, yelling " Hey! Give it back! Give it back!"
" It's good." Hutt River finally said after a few moment of desperate struggles. Wy stopped jumping.
" Yeah, it's good art." Kugelmugel said.
" I ain't too bad in this picture huh?" Molossia commented.
" Wow Wy, you're really good." Borneo said. Nikoniko nodded in agreement.
" You even drew it the way I would pose." Ladonia said. " It looks so real."
" Almost like a photograph." Seborga said " This is great Wy! Why didn't you show us sooner? I think I am liking you more already."
Wy rolled her eyes. But then she stammered " W-well I thought… that you guys will laugh at me…"
" Laugh at you? Why in the world would we laugh at you for this?" Seborga said.
" We like it, don't we?" Sealand said. Everyone nodded. Molossia inspects the picture and said " Well my arms are a little flimsy…" Ladonia quickly nudged Molossia to shut up.
The nine were happy. They left their clubhouse that day, with a new addition to the decorations. At the back of the clubhouse, framed and shown proudly, the dawned picture of the micronations.
Aw, that's nice. Sorry I couldn't got for the nekotalia chapter because I don't make to make this story so long since the chapters are pretty long themselves. I will try to update this as fast as I can. Only two more chapters and an epilogue left! Preview of next chapter: Remember the news America wanted to tall to Jao Lan? I wonder if he finally figured out the combination…
