In my dream, it was Christmas again!
Because I so much love Christmas very much! :B
It had just passed but in the dream Sweden and I were going around the whole world together again. Throughout the night, we were both giving out toys to all the boys and girls again! Sweden, due to a silly bet made by him and Denmark, was wearing a really large elf costume, which in real life, LOL HE WOULD NEVER WEAR. And in the dream, he happened to go under a mistletoe. And for fun, I go over and peck him on the cheek.
It was funny because as my head moves back away from him his face turns into many degrees of red. He spasms out almost trying to mutter something but it wouldn't come out.
"F-F-f-f-fffffffffffffinlannnddddddddddddddddddd!"
I was laughing so much that I'm then somehow on the snowy ground rolling around in the snow. The snow wasn't cold or wet but the laughter was something I could really feel. I look up at Sweden still chuckling myself to death as I see steam coming out of his ears. It really was too funny. But I had to choke down my laughter as soon as I saw the lights within the house turn on.
Shit. Aw shit.
I start to panic because it would be really bad if the humans found out that Santa was in fact REALLY ME!
Lol, I'd never have a peaceful day again as all the humans would knock on my door. _
And they already have this weird notion of us existing as Nations already so better to not complicate things!
Wanting to leave that fiasco behind and fast, I try to hurry Sweden by tugging on his sleeve while stating hurriedly, "WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW." D:
But he doesn't move and just stands there frozen like a statue. So shit.
Very much shit.
Thinking fast, I think I am strong enough to push Sweden into the sleigh. So I quickly jog to the sleigh and lure the reindeer towards Sweden. I say "Yip Yip!" as the deer start trudging their way towards the still steaming Sweden.
I'm going towards Sweden who seems to look like he's solving the hardest math problem in the whole world, when I hear a loud thud above me. Bewildered, I look upwards in a start, towards the roof when I see the most strangest thing.
For some reason, I'm there on the roof.
Like another me. Another me. :m
Uh... yeah...That's surely me...just falling on the roof from no where and now currently sliding down along with the mounds of snow towards Sweden. Sweden!?
I reach my hand towards Sweden and yell "Look Out!" only to realize that this notion had no use whatsoever because I see another me fall violently onto Sweden's head and they both fall to the snowy ground. The snow lifts like a puff of smoke and quickly settles down.
This other Finland was laying on top of Sweden when he drowsily looks up. His hazel eyes widened as he hurriedly jumped off while apologizing profusely to Sweden.
The first thing I really think of is, Is that how I really look like when I'm startled?
Though I really should be thinking about Sweden.
Sweden finally takes a glimpse of who was talking to him as he slowly mutters ow ow ow ow, when his expression makes an expression I'm not sure of myself. It was either terror or joy. Why it would be joy I am not so sure?
He then quickly looks back at me and at the other me again and again like as if trying to make sure he's seeing right and he was. Though it started too like something had started to break in his mind and that is when I truly start to worry other than the 1st floor light now turning on in the human's house.
The other guy who looked exactly like me with his hazel eyes lifts his hand towards me and whispers something odd. The next thing I know I'm somewhere else lying on my butt. It was now all fields of green around us though it seemed that some of the snow I was standing on also traveled with me.
I was now at a tropical paradise when I feel the rush of a bird fly behind me and towards.
Was that really a Toucan I just saw? Or? o_o
Being a nation, you always can tell where you are at every moment. Maybe not the city or state. But once you leave the country, in our minds you can just tell, "Oh okay, leaving Mexico. Now in America." Something like that. After starting to register that I was somewhere in Brazil I begin to feel safe. It's startling to not know where you are especially if you are a nation.
The other Finland wipes the snow of his shoulders as he starts to apologize. He seems kind of awkward bowing since he gives off this serious type of air. He looks so stern but here he is trying to soften up his exterior. I admired that. He sort of mutters to himself,
"Ah, well that wasn't so bad for a 5th try? Seriously these jumps are always so difficult. I wish there was another way to go about these things... "
He then continues but this time looking straight at me, "Ah yes. I'm sorry Finland. This must have been scary. You must be wondering why were are just...somewhere else suddenly. To make things short, right now we are in another dream. A more...present one since the other was just a normal dream. Or perhaps now we both are really dreaming. I'm not really sure myself. Ahahaha. Are you okay? From the fall, I mean?"
I'm still confused as I feel so out of place wearing this Santa suit while being in this tropical paradise. But what bothers me even more was the fact that the other Finland was wearing all green. Sort of like St. Patrick's day parade. But why the Hawaiian shorts with the kitty sticking out his tongue pattern?
I shake my head, the spare snow fall to the grass and melting away. Some fell on my hands so I swipe them against my pants and bring them back to rest again. I was surprised when I noticed my left hand sort of wanting to reach out towards those shorts to get a better look. How funny and embarrassing that would have been. Oh dear.
From the worry coming from his voice and from the concern of this other me's eyes, I then somehow feel safe and alright and decide to give him an actual shot in explaining as to what the hell was going on.
What even really happened? Am I still dreaming or is this REALITY?
"Um...ah. Well. Um, yeah why are you wearing Hawaiian shorts? And...why is there a cute pretty kitty pattern on it? It's really out of place."
The other Finland looks kind of upset as he replies, "Really? Really, that's the first thing you wanted to ask me?" He looks at me like an idiot which I myself am feeling but I halt myself from answering yup I'm an idiot.
I stay quiet contemplating if I asked the right question. But it's really the only question that rings dominantly over the others right now. So confused. Everything still is buzzing despite the chirping birds in the distance.
The other Finland crosses his arms and closes his eyes as if recollecting something dear. A soft smile dawns but then it leaves as quickly as it came.
He begins, "Well, these shorts were given to me from America. It's actually kinda funny. You see, this one time we went to a resort for a meeting. America had booked the meeting in this water park resort but most of the time everyone was just swimming. None of us had brought any shorts in the first place since it was a complete surprise for all of us. So when arrived to the meeting America waved to all of us with these mass bought lime green shorts with kitty cats patterns on them as he stated, "We're going swimming!" I think it was him trying to be funny and England quickly tried to strangle him as well as the other nations. But we all wore them anyways and went swimming. And well...I guess...the reason I'm wearing them? is because... it's green? And it works. So yeah."
"Works?"
"Green is a good color for traveling between dimensions and time. It makes the transitions smoother and less glitches. Wow, we are getting off track. What I really wanted to tell you is this."
The other Finland slowly stands up from the ground and walks over to Finland. He grasps his hand and firmly shakes it, both our hazel eyes staring to one another.
"Hello Future version of me. My name is also Finland. I'm from another galaxy. Nice to meet you. Again."
Again?
This dream is already getting so weird but I decide to go along. I mumble to Finland 2,"Ahhhhh, errr...yes? Nice to meet you... again? Though to be honest, I'm sorry. I've never met... myself before? This is a dream- right?"
He says while smiling, "Right and wrong. I'm really here and so is your main line of conscious."
"But then how did we change scenery? I'm finally realizing that we are in Brazil now. How did we get here? Cause I was somewhere up in Ukraine giving away presents? Or was that itself a dream?"
"Right. You were in another dream. But right now I'm in a real space though I guess it's still a dream in your mind. You're still sleeping. So to you it's still a dream. But to me it's a reality."
"Ummmmm..."
"Alright let me explain again..."
"That's! What I was sort of waiting for!" I say jokingly.
The other Finland smiles sadly as he continues, "Well, right now what I just did was just another level above Nation Jumping. I World Jumped into your dream.
"..."
"World jumping is when...well I should explain Nation Jumping first I guess? I'm sorry for being so sloppy about this. I'm just getting kind of tired of world jumping all the time. You're the 6th one before I go back to my own galaxy. But um, Nation Jumping is when you think about a location and you literally jump into that plane with just the wills of your mind. If you are a beginner, you can just do that with a photo or name of a place. Though, if you are not concise, it'll take you somewhere else... That's...um...does that exist in your world?"
"No? Though jumping to another location...that sounds kind a cool! Is it like we ascend into the air and fly through the skies? Is that how we "jump?"...like in the movies?...sorry."
The other me shakes his head while his hair swings back and forth.
"No, no. You um...how do I explain this. You...in the thinking of the other place, that opens a portal field which engulfs your body and then through space and time, you jump to that location. That's in effect what you are doing. It only lasts like 2 seconds. Though you can only jump only so far. If you practice, you can jump even farther and eventually you can go through a hemisphere to the other side of wherever you are in one jump! It's pretty cool once you do that. World jumping...is exactly what it sounds like. Jumping worlds. Or in this case, galaxies. Since there is only one world for each galaxy. And since I world jumped...that took a lot more than 2 seconds...and I had to fall through... Well...I won't reveal that to you. It'll spoil the fun. Hehe. Um... Are you not afraid of me anymore?"
"You know other me...I don't feel as uneasy anymore. Sure I was shocked we were suddenly in Brazil! And now you are telling me we are in a dream together but that you're ACTUALLY HERE! Yet even so...after you voiced your worry for me...I felt a safeness with you. Even though it's kind a creepy talking to myself. Cause that is what I'm in essence doing right?"
I chuckle while becoming less tense while relaxing my legs and out stretching them on the grass. This field looked magnificent and the sky looks so azure, it made me want to cry.
The other me took notice of me looking at the sky and stopped talking. He too settled down in a more peaceful position as he said, "You know, I'm glad you are not scared of me. I was sure scared when I met myself before. And hehe, you'll laugh at this but the Finland I met from 2 times ago flat out kicked me in the face. It hurt like hell. I'm actually...kind of glad you didn't do the same thing."
"Ahaha. Wait. What? You met another me before?! And um...I...apologize?"
"Naw, you don't need to apologize since that me was also me. So I had it coming. And Yep. I'm from 5 times ago!", he said happiness brimming, "but I got to meet the me previously before my time. So in terms to you, he was 6 times ago and to me you are the 7th. He told me lots of things before dying with his world."
I look at Finland 2 more sympathetically as I mutter, "S-sorry for your loss. S-so... u-uh...what happened to him...if you mind me asking? Why did he die?"
I wait for what seems several thousand seconds because in this dream it felt that even time moved differently. The wind kept on moving as did my arising curiosity.
"He d-died... b-because his world was ended abruptly by s-something. He himself wasn't able to figure it out. But he left me with his power and with my power now being 6 fold, I would be able to do something to change the position of our fates."
"Our fates?"
"Our fates," Finland ended strongly.
He paused and continued, "Our fates are changing now. The worlds existing ahead of me and my own world still exist. Though it's only a matter of time before they end abruptly like the worlds previous to my time. It's just me that is world hopping now. I'm hopping because I hope to stop it. The end of all our worlds. That's why I'm here now in front of you in this dream. The only place I can truly be. Cause I can't exist in your plane cause you exist... yeah..."
I paled as I stuttered, "The end of all our worlds? What do you mean by that?"
Finland 2 looked away as he said, "Some people...before past me died... they ended his world abruptly. They haven't played action into ending my currently world, or the next 5 worlds. Or even yours as a matter of fact. But in each of the worlds, America was painfully taken away from us. That's the reason I first started traveling. But now I found that it's a whole lot more than just America."
Finland 2 two paused while looking at the butterflies near bye flutter from flower to flower.
I let it sink in and remained silent.
America? America died before too? He died in every world after his world? America died here too...though. :c
Finland 2 quickly straightened himself as he happily cheered, "But don't worry! This time I've arrived to prevent your America from dying! He is still alive isn't he? He always dies on the same April day. April 4! So I've arrived on March. How is he?"
All color must have drained from my face because the other me looked at me startled.
He started mouthing, "No. No."
He shouted to me, "Wait! He died ALREADY! WHEN DID HE DIE? THIS shouldn't have! This shouldn't have happened yet!"
I started to tear up because I felt hot things run over my cheeks. For a dream, this sure felt real as fuck in terms of the pain. The tears hurt and my throat is dry. My cheeks burn as I look up to the sky but it's too bright so I quickly look down at the ground because it's too painful to look at anything else. America died right in front of us.
He died right in front of everyone.
And as the other Finland begins to shake his head as if he himself was trying to come out of a dream, I was going into another dream. A daydream though more like a memory.
The memory of how America died.
Writer's notes: um, pardon for the awkward transitioning. That was never really my strong point. And in the end, I was so hung up on how I was going to transition to this arc that i didn't update in forevers. So slap to my past self. Because now I'm like, screw it. Even if it's a little messy, at least I'll be updating. x] ah dear.
