Hey guys! It's me, JadeCrispy! HAHAHA! You haven't seen the last of me! (Great, I sound like America…) I decided to add this little bonus part for those who really like the story (both TAPW and the sequel) and want to know a bit of fun facts about it. Also, remember when I said we had to choose between the two chapters of Nekotalia and the micronations? Well… here's the nekotalia chapter! But let's get to the special fun facts first!*you can skip it if you want, just something for fun*
1. Well I think this is pretty obvious by now but the ambassadors are based on me and my friends. They are seriously crazy in their own way! I guess you can say I based Kristina on myself but eventually she somehow became a character of her own, just very similar to me. But unfortunately, the personalities of Brandon, Steve, Bryan, Aria, Penny, Bec, Kyanna, Mike and Sam are based on how I meet them the first time, so they mostly aren't completely like that in real life. Brandon isn't an actual poker-face guy but when I first met him that was my first impression. So yeah, not everyone is based exactly to become characters. Though, I wasn't kidding on Jao Lan's and Alyan's personalities though. :P
2. I had a list of chapters I wanted to write for this story. Literally, I would put a tick every time I finished writing a chapter so I would keep things in track.
3. I was planning to write a fashion show chapter starring France and Poland… but then decided against it. I'm not fashionable anyway. :P
4. The WW2 stimulation in the ambassador drabbles (I think I've already mentioned this) is based on a real life activity we did in class. I, as the foreign ambassador of japan, conquered all of asia except Russia (fist pump!) I've got to admit the results of this activity did fit the personalities of each person. …no comment…
5. I was planning to let Romano and Bryan stay single throughout the story but then one of my reviewers gave me an idea to pair Romano with Philippines so I thought it would be a good idea. When I made Bryan flirt with Taiwan, I had a lightbulb idea to pair them together for the story.
6. For the poll on who should Kristina end up with, it was actually a tie 2-2. I know, not many people voted. But then one more review came in voting for Italy so that settled it. Later during the sequel when the ending has already been confirmed, I see many more people voting for Italy. Sorry Japan.
7. If Japan had won the poll, I would have used the manga Japan drew in chapter 12 of Meeting Countries (p4) in TAPW (The Axis Powers and… Who?). Japan would have eventually shown Kristina the rest of the manga which showed how he met her and fallen in love with her. Kristina would be touched and give him a hug. Man… that made me feel like supporting Kristina and Japan.
8. I secretly supported StevexBelarus but didn't put it in because life doesn't always go the way you want it. Plus there were already a lot of pairing.
9. Same goes to BecxAustria.
10. Originally in the final chapter of the ambassadors, I planned for Italy to accompany Kristina through the portal but somehow my writing spur decided against it and went for Vietnam.
11. The real Riana is actually my friend nadillaandlaprasthefireandice, she's the one who actually knows the story before hand. She also gave me ideas for the fanfiction too.
12. Animegmr101 seems to read my mind. Seriously, she knew there was a sequel before I could event hint it and my plans for the chapter. Damn physic Animegmr101!
13. TAPW reached 10000 reads. O-O And counting.
14. This fanfiction 'The Ambassadors' is the longest story I've ever written in my entire writing career.
15. I was planning to find an ambassador for Canada but couldn't find the right person for him. :( I also realised I forgot Canada in some scene. Damn it! After all that pity I still forgot about him!
16. When Tasha found out I was writing the story and read a part of it - she wanted to kill me. On my birthday too.
17. I realised I put in a lot of filter chapters so that you guys can connect with the characters. .-.
18. The movie the ambassadors acting in the movie scene, The Wedding Singer, is a real school musical that was done in my school. It was chosen over Footloose and some other movie which I forgot. Now I have some wedding singer songs in my spotify
19. Thank the real Riana again for introducing Hetalia to me otherwise this fanfiction wouldn't exist.
20. The truth or dare spin off I planned sort off died out. But I would write a spin off on the countries past. It would include the Axis, the Allies, Spain, Prussia, Hungary, Austria and many others. :)
21. I sometimes wonder in the story if Romano had an interest in Kristina at one point because she looks like Alessandra. I leave you guys to decide that.
22. Yes, a few loose ends are put for your own imagination like you would be wondering if Kyanna would like Holy Rome and what would happen to Prussia as well as the state impersonations. Well, that's up to you ;)
Now… time for the Nekotalia chapter!
Bonus chapter!: Nekotalia
Hello everyone! My name is Ruby! I am a 'cute' white cat with a red ear and a red patch on my back. You've heard from me before. This time, I have more friends then the usual Germany-cat, Italia and Japaneko! When my owner, Kristina, came back from her world, she brought a few friends along. When I mean 'a few' I mean 19 of them. Oh bother. But then those ambassadors got their own cats and I have new friends! But the sad part is that I cannot play around like I usually do. I have to be the leader of… wait for it…
The ambassador cats.
Well, I guess is sort of like how the countries cats do their own work eventhough they don't need to but oh well. But living with one of them is suffocating.
I woke up by stretching every part of my body before my wide brown eyes burst open. Ah~ A nice day for fun and adventure! I looked at my right and saw an upset looking Sandy. Her sand-coloured fur wasn't matted like mine and her dark eyes narrowed at me. Oh.
The day of the meeting. No fun and adventure then.
" So you're finally up." Sandy said as I licked my white fur.
" So? The meeting is only in the afternoon." I said. " Don't be so uptight."
" I know… it's just irritating to see how you can be so calm while I'm stressing out." Sandy said as I got out of my basket.
" On what?" I asked.
" I am the assistant leader right? I feel like I am doing more work than you." Sandy said.
" More? Ha! You've got to me kidding me." I said as we both walked down the corridor " I've got a lot more work than you do."
" Like what?" Sandy asked me.
" Handling the others, you know how crazy they can get." I said. Then I saw Kristina walking towards the front door sleepily. Ah! Maybe I can get my breakfast, or was it lunch? No matter. I quickly went towards her as she opened the front door. I looked at the italian guy. Have I seen him before?
" Hey Kristina~ you look great today!" The italian boy said. Great? She looks like she just woke up (literally), that's not great.
" What do you want Seborga?" My owner said " Sorry for being rude, I just woke up."
" No problem! Do you want to hang out with me today?" The italian boy named Seborga said.
" Huh? Why this all of a sudden?" Kristina said.
" Um… I thought since you are Italy's ambassador and I am gaining my independence from him I should get to know you better." Seborga said. Wait a minute. Now I remember him! He's the one who disturbed Kristina and dug a hole in the garden! Didn't he already know her?
" Didn't you do that already?" Kristina said. Great minds think alike.
" But we haven't met each other in a long time!" Seborga cried like a baby.
" Okay okay! Just let me grab something to eat. You can wait in the living room, Ruby will entertain you." Kristina said as she walked off. Wait. I looked at her as she left. What about my breakfast/lunch? Aw… I looked at Seborga again. Seborga smiled at me. I already know what he's thinking: Aw… what a cute kitty! I nodded at him and then walked towards the living room. There, I played with Seborga, he's fun to play with! Then I saw Bryan Junior, a blue cat who's owner is the dumb chinese guy with glasses also known as Bryan, walk out of the kitchen… with a large cookie in his mouth! How did he get that! That little thief! When Kristina and apparently Bryan entered the living room, I meowed at them and then got off the sofa after Junior.
When I found Junior, he was boasting to a bored Sandy about his cookie. Then I walked towards him exclaiming " Hey! Junior! You know we're not suppose to steal food from the kitchen!"
Junior jumped up in shock. Then he meowed " I didn't steal it!"
" Yes you did! I saw you take that cookie from the kitchen!" I said.
" But Bryan let me take it." Junior said. I blinked. He did? Then I have no complaints. I saw Junior savour the large cookie in his mouth. It made my stomach growl. Junior ignored it.
" Hey Junior?" I asked, taking a step closer.
" What?" Junior asked.
" Can I have some?" I asked.
" Nope!" Junior said " You accused me of stealing food!"
" I'm sorry okay? I didn't eat my breakfast so can I please have some?" I asked.
" Nah, you're own fault for not waking up early." Junior said.
" Give me some!" I demanded.
" No!" Junior yelled.
" Junior! Ruby! Let's be friends again and share the cookie okay?" Sandy interrupted. We looked at her. She was waving her tail excitedly. She wanted a bite out of the cookie too. Junior and I glared at each other and soon, we got into a cat fight, with me trying to grab the cookie from Junior. Sandy seems to be standing at the side, watching us.
Then I saw Yuna, Sandy's owner, walk down the hallway as I was pulling one end of the cookie with my mouth and Junior on the other. Damn kitty, give some to me! Then Yuna yelled as the same time I pounced on Bryan, she yelled " JUNIOR! RUBY! STOP FI- OUCH!" I accidentally landed on Yuna's face instead of Junior. Then I saw Junior purposely scratching on Yuna's legs, as if trying me make me the perpetrator. Damn cat! I quickly pounced on Junior again around the same time Kristina, Bryan and Seborga entered the hallway. Sandy was panicking.
" Just give me some of that cookie!" I said.
" No!" Junior yelled.
" Stop fighting!" Kristina yelled as she picked me up. Huh? Oh no! The cookie was left on the ground. Junior was about to take it when Bryan picked him up. Ha! Can't get it now huh? Junior was struggling in Bryan's arms.
" Stop fighting! What were you two even fighting about anyway Ruby?" Kristina asked me, then I looked at the cookie on the ground with hunger. Kristina seemed to get the message.
" Oh…" Kristina said. And that's all she said. I managed to get a good grilled fish for lunch.
Unknown P.O.V
Rani and England-cat were walking towards a strawberry garden to get some sweet strawberries for Britain's latest cooking attempt: a strawberry shortcake. England-cat is a white cat with a light brown patch over his left eye, a small patch on his back and on his tail. Oh! Did I mention this cat has thick eyebrows? Rani was against the idea at first, considering that Britain (and England-cat to be honest) is not good in cooking but when she heard Riana would be in charge most of the time, Rani gladly followed England-cat to the garden.
" Yummy! I can't wait to try some sweet berries!" Rani said.
" I can't wait for the cake." England-cat said. Rani wasn't so sure about that.
" Do you have the basket?" Rani asked.
" Yup! Right here!" England cat said as he turned around to show a small basket tied to his body. Then England-cat spotted a large bush with plenty of berries. " Ah! There's some good looking berries."
England-cat approached the bush when it suddenly started to shake. Berani (Rani) jumped in shock and said " England-cat! Be careful! I think there's something in those bushes!"
" Relax, there's nothing to be afraid of." England-cat said. When England-cat approached the bush, a large hairy white cat with a rose tied to it's collar jumped out and England-cat jumped so high out of shock that his claws got stuck on a lower branch of a tree above him.
" What are you doing up there England-cat?" The cat said in a french accent.
" France-cat! You scared me!" Rani exclaimed. Then a small light brown cat came out of the bush. Though she was mostly light-bron in colour, the bottom half of her body was white.
" Hello England-cat! What are you doing up there?" the little cat said.
" Oh, hello Chocolate." England-cat said " I just got a nasty shock, that's all. By that hairy furball over there!" England-cat glared at France-cat. France-cat looked offended.
" A hairy furball?" France-cat meowed " You look like you are some frozen fishstick that no one wants!"
" Shut up you frog!" England-cat said.
" You shut up you black mouse of europe!" France-cat yelled. The two cats continued on and on, arguing. Chocolate, Alyan's cat, and Rani decided to talk while waiting for the two to finish.
" So what are you doing here in the garden anyway?" Rani asked Chocolate.
" Oh, we're just taking a stroll. I love to eat strawberries since I can't eat chocolate. An irony since that is my name." Chocolate said " How about you?"
" We're getting some strawberries for England's strawberry shortcake! But I don't see whether we'll get the berries if the two don't stop arguing." Rani said.
" Yeah." Chocolate said. Then France-cat yelled at England-cat " Hey! Why don't you come down you scaredy cat!"
" I was about to until you started yapping like a stray dog!" England-cat said. Suddenly, there was a low growl. Rani and Chocolate jumped up in shock. England-cat's face filled with dread and said " You know what? I change my mind. I'm staying here."
" Ha! I knew you were a scaredy cat!" France-cat said.
" Oh shut up frog and listen. Don't you hear that?" England-cat said. Chocolate was already scared and tried to climb up the tree. Another low growl came. France-cat became scared too. Then he asked England-cat " Hey… can I be up there too?"
" Get your own branch!" England-cat said. Suddenly, a large scary… Badger?… came out of the bushes across the cats and all the cats screamed. France-cat joined Chocolate in their attempt to climb up the tree, a little more successful this time and England-cat was clinging unto the branch with his life. Rani was stuck frozen. Then the angry berserk badger ran towards Rani. It wasn't happy Rani was next to the strawberry patch.
" Watch out!" England-cat exclaimed. Suddenly, Rani put out her claws and scratched the Badger's face, the badger cried out in pain before running away. England-cat, France-cat and Chocolate were staring at the sandy cat. Then France-cat stammered " W-well that was brave."
" Her name does mean brave in Malay." England-cat sait. Then Rani turned around and said " It's okay, the big scary monster is gone now. Shall we pick the strawberries?"
After things had calmed down, Chocolate and France-cat resumed their walk and Rani with England-cat to pick the strawberries. They came home with a basket full of strawberries and entered the kitchen to see Riana and Britain preparing a delicious (well, suppose to be) fish pie.
" So I now I guess I'll put it in the oven."
" Good Britain. That's it. Wait, did you remember to put in the cloves?"
" Cloves? I thought you meant salt?"
" What did you put salt in for?! BRITAIN! YOU PUT THE TEMPERATURE ON TOO HIGH! QUICK! BEFORE IT-"
BOOM!
I guess you can assume what happened next.
…
There has been reported news of the lack of tuna in the markets and as a cat country who loves fish, Japaneko must get to the bottom of this. He and his ambassador cat, Starry, are headed towards the fish market. Starry is a sleek black cat with bright blue eyes. She wonders why Japaneko loves tuna so much. On their way to the market, they met Germany-cat, Holy Rome-cat and Felix, who were looking at the bushes, searching for something.
" Oh, Good afternoon Germany-cat-san, Holy Rome-cat-san, Felix-san."
" Hi." Starry said " What are you doing?"
" Damn that Prussia-cat! I will find him…" Germany-cat growled. Felix nodded at them before continuing the search. Brandon's cat Felix is a white cat with a yellow stripe from the top of its head till the end of its head. Felix has Brandon's pokerface look.
" Prussia-cat and Awesome stole Germany's scarf. We're trying to find them, and the scarf they threw in the bushes." Holy Rome-cat explained. Holy Rome cat is a black cat like Germany but has a bit of its left ear bitten off. To cover that, Holy Rome-cat wears a three pointer black hat to cover it.
" Let's help them Japaneko." Starry said.
" B-but the tuna!" Japaneko said. Starry rolled her eyes and went to the bush. Japaneko immediately felt guilty and started to help them. As they were searching, Starry found a scarf with black, red and yellow stripes. Starry smiled. Then she grabbed it with her mouth. Suddenly, it pulled straight into the bush, just in time for Japaneko and Felix to get a glimpse of her disappearing!
" Germany-cat-san! Holy Rome-cat-san! Starry-san disappeared!" Japaneko panicked.
" What?!" Germany-cat exclaimed then he dashed into the bush. Felix and the others quickly followed after him. When Germany-cat managed to find Starry… she was hanging upside down with a rope tied around her feet and in her mouth was the scarf. She meowed. Prussia-cat, a white cat with a scar over his left eye and a scarf with the black, red and yellow stripes, and Awesome, a big brown fluffy cat with glasses, was staring at Starry hanging upside down. Then Germany-cat exclaimed " Prussia-cat! Awesome! Let Starry down!"
" Oh! Germany-cat! KESESESE~ Sorry, I thought it would be you in this trap!" Prussia-cat exclaimed.
" Yeah… and not Starry." Awesome said.
" Memh!" Starry said. " Gemmmmmh."
" Dude, she's calling you." Awesome said. Germany-cat went towards Starry, Starry trusted the scarf towards Germany-cat direction. Germany-cat took it and Starry let go, now free to speak. Then she said " Here you go." Then she smiled. Germany-cat looked away, blushing slightly and said " Thanks."
" Now, can you let me down?" Starry said to Prussia-cat, who just laughed.
Japaneko, on the other hand was wondering whether they will be able to make it to the market for the tuna problem today.
Speaking of the market, that was where Cheshire and Americat were that instant. Tasha's cat Cuddles, a tabby cat with bright blue eyes, was following behind them.
" I'm hungry…" Cheshire said.
" Me too dude." Americat said. " Do you have any?"
" Would I be asking you if I did?" Cheshire stated. " Hey Bushy, do you have any?"
" No… I'm sort of hungry too." Cuddles said. Then she spotted a fish monger's store. Her eyes lit up, she has an idea! " Wait here."
Cheshire and Americat were confused as Cuddles went to the fishmonger. Then Cuddles started to beg. The fishmonger looked down at her and looked at her with disgust. Then exclaimed as he kicked Cuddles away " Go away you stupid hairy beast!" Bushy landed on the ground and meowed in pain. Cheshire walked towards Cuddles and asked her " Are you okay?"
" I think so." Cuddles said. Then Cheshire laughed out loud. Bushy narrowed her eyes at Cheshire. " So mean!"
" What? That was funny!" Cheshire exclaimed " Hairy beast!"
" Yeah right Fei Zai!" Cuddles exclaimed as she stood up.
" Fei Po!" Cheshire shouted back. Their owner's profound words had caught up with the cats.
" Hey Cheshire, Cuddles, check this out!" Americat exclaimed. Cheshire and Bushy looked at Americat who was in front of a large art full of… fish. Cuddles and Cheshire went to Americat and stared at the cart. Then they smiled at each other.
Jao Lan, America and Tasha were alerted later that day and they went to fish market to pick up three fat cats who ate a whole cart of fish.
Ruby's P.O.V!
I went to the park as scheduled with Sandy and Bryan Junior and the moment I got there… it was chaos.
Cuddles and Cheshire, the cats of Tasha and Jao Lan, were arguing loudly something about a cart of fishes at one end. At another, Awesome and Rani were arguing too. Alyan's cat Chocolate was chasing Alisha's cat Ms Universe (we call her Uni), a small cat with yellow fur and a black ribbon in her hair, and Syrian's cat Cutie, a black cat with brown tuff of fur on her head and glasses, around the field where the meeting is suppose to be. Brandon's cat Felix was talking to Steve's cat Fog, a large black furry cat with dark eyes who was emitting… a strange aura. I shivered at the sight of him. Sandy had that same feeling too. The younger cats who are Rebecca(Bec)'s cat Demon slayer(Slayer), a red cat with a scar under her eye; Kyanna's cat Dandelion, a small fluffy white cat; Sam's cat Night, a pitch black cat and Mike's cat Smart, a skinny grey cat with a black face and black ears were playing a game of cards… with for some reason Slayer pouncing on Night.
Aria's cat Beauty, a pink sleek cat with a red hair band on her head, was talking to Penelope's cat Cupcake, a purple sleek cat while once in awhile attempted to scratch Liang Hao's cat Random, a white cat with brown patches, from going near them. Starry, Ariel's cat, walked towards us and said " Hi Ruby. Are we ready to start."
" Almost." I said. Then I walked forward and exclaimed from the top of my voice " ALRIGHT! SETTLE DOWN!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Then I heard Felix asked " How come you're not Germany-cat's ambassador?"
" Because of my owner. And besides, you act german." I said. " Alright! First order of busi-"
" You should!" Random exclaimed suddenly.
" Shut up and let me talk." I hissed. Random kept silent. " Now, how's things coming along?"
" The tuna problem has not been settled yet." Starry mentioned.
" Huh? What happened? Does Japaneko need help?" I asked.
" No… um… there was a problem getting there today." Starry said.
" Let's say it involved a prank and Germany's scarf." Awesome said.
" But it can be settled right?" I asked. Starry nodded. " Anything else?"
" We had came across the problem and now are facing a money crisis." Cheshire said.
" What?! How!" I exclaimed. " We don't even have any money."
" Well… Americat and Bushy got crazy when eating a cart full of fish." Cheshire said. Cuddles jumped in shock and exclaimed " Hey! You ate the most!"
" Who says I was involved?" Cheshire said. Then the two started arguing. Somehow, after saying some snarky comment, Uni got into the fight too.
" HEY! STOP!" I yelled. The shouts seem to have no effect on them. I sighed and looked at Fog. Fog shook his head. " Why?"
" This is interesting." Fog said.
" Please stop them." I said. Fog stood up, went to them and said something to them, making the three scared out of their wits and moved away from Fog, who had a purple aura around him. I-I wonder where he learnt to do that.
" Great, anything else?" I asked.
" We caused more trouble by ripping up Switzerland's pillows!" Slayer stated in a proud way.
" And you're happy about that?!" Yuna said.
" What? It was fun…" Night protested with his voice fading away.
" Sigh… we never get anything done do we, not much help anyone do we?" I said " Why am I the leader again?"
" Because your owner is." All the cats chorused. Then some of the male cats laughed out loud including Slayer. Sigh… I wonder what to do with these…
" Ruby!" Italia exclaimed as he jumped on me. Oof! I landed on the ground with my limbs spread out. Everyone just seemed to be staring at us. Then I could hear Italia said " Hey Ruby! Do you want to play? We can play with yarn or the toy mouse or just with each other~ Hey Ruby~ Are you going to play?"
" Italia~…" I moaned " Get off me…"
" Are you?" Italia said.
" Later…" I said. " Can't you see I'm in a meeting?"
" Ve? Oh, sorry. See you later!" Italia said as he got of me and started to skip away. I sighed again before getting up and cleaning myself. I could hear a lot of cats murmuring. I could clearly hear Beauty and Cupcake's conversation on why Italia is not my mate. Ever since Kristina finally chose between Italy and Japan, everyone thought I would end up with Italia. And I thought the craziness is over afterwards. Then I said " Okay cats, if there's nothing else, let's wrap up this meeting."
No cat spoke up. So then I said " Alright, next time please do not cause any trouble otherwise we'll rather be renamed the troublemakers instead of the ambassadors and do something useful for once. See ya." All the cats got up then and started to disperse. I stretched and said " Well, that was quick."
" You made it end quick." Sandy told me " But nothing much goes on during these meetings."
" I know…" I said " But it's not like we have any projects going on. To be honest, being the leader of nothing much is hard enough already."
" Meow, let's do something fun!" Sandy exclaimed.
" Like what?" I asked.
" I'll find a ball of yarn." Sandy said " Hey Ruby, how do you feel about Italia?"
Italia? I started to fidget, okay, maybe what the cats gossiped did get into me. I felt myself blush slightly and said " Just a fellow friend really." Sandy didn't seem to believe me but shrugged and went to find one. Then I saw Italia come out of the bushes and asked me as he approached to me " Can we play now?~"
I smiled and said " Sure!" I like being a little playful kitty the best. As we were waiting for Sandy, I wonder what would happen between Italy and Kristina. Kristina is waiting for the time for her to go home again. I didn't mind being under Malaysia's care but I can't help but miss my owner. When the time comes, would Kristina leave all her friends behind? Leave Italy behind? Leave me?
America, take your time on repairing the machine.
I don't want my dear owner to leave yet.
