enters Germany's room It is I, France. Hello friend Germany
(Germany looks up slightly irritated, glancing at the paperwork she still needs to finish) Ah, France. What can I do for you? Is there anything urgent?
Well, non, but it's been a while since we spent time together. Maybe the paperwork can wait until later? As we French like to say, too much work will ruin you
Hm... I suppose I could take a short break. We haven't had much time together since the reunification, after all. puts paperwork aside What do you feel like doing for our reunion? A nice picnic perhaps?
Sure, as long as it is just us
Why don't we go to my favorite spot in the garden? We can sit down on a blanket and share some cheese, bread, and wine. It should be quiet there with all the other neighbors being busy.
Oui, a perfect plan, who better to think of such than the most brilliant mind in Europe?
Heh, you flatter me too much. Alright then, let's go grab the picnic basket and blanket from my room. I'll lead the way.
I follow behind, only for us to bump into Russia
Oh, excuse us! apologetically steps aside as Russia continues on their way, giving a curt nod to both France and Germany It seems they're in quite a hurry today... Well then, let's finish our picnic plans.
Oui, it would be good for us to do so
As we walk down the hallway, I gesture towards my room where all the picnic essentials are neatly laid out. "I hope you're hungry! There's plenty of fresh bread, brie, and some local wine from the vineyard near my village."
Oh super, perhaps I could supply our sweets for the picnic?
That sounds like a lovely idea! Of course you can bring some delicious French pastries or desserts to share with us. I'm sure we'll all enjoy them as much as the cheese and wine.
I rush to my room to grab croissants, noticing America and North Korea outside my room what's going on here?
Oh my, look at them arguing again... Maybe we should just ignore them and enjoy our time together? We can always discuss these matters later with the rest of the neighbors.
America! What's the meaning of this? Why are you two outside my room?
"Germany! You've been ignoring us lately!" North Korea shouted angrily. "I have not! I just needed some time to myself," replied Germany defensively, clutching the picnic basket tightly.
"Well, it doesn't look like you need any time for friends anymore." America crossed her arms, glaring at both of them.
America, there is no need to be unreasonable
Well, why don't we just all cool off and go about our business? I'm sure everything will work out fine once everyone has some time to think things through. gestures towards the garden Why don't you two come with us to the picnic that France and I planned? It'll be a nice, relaxing way to spend the afternoon.
"I suppose America and Korea can join us.." France said, now tossing out her original plan
Well then, let's head over to the garden together and enjoy some quality time!
follows Germany America and Korea
Cautiously, Germany led the way to the garden, her long ears twitching occasionally as she glanced between America and North Korea. Despite the tension, she couldn't help but feel a small sense of relief that they had decided to join them for the picnic. Perhaps this would be an opportunity for them all to patch things up and foster a more peaceful atmosphere in the neighborhood.
As they settled down on the blanket beneath the shade of a towering oak tree, Germany set out the food. The others eventually found seats as well, though America and North Korea remained somewhat stiff and guarded at first. But as they helped themselves to some bread and croissants and began to taste the delicious treats that France had brought along, it was hard not to feel a sense of camaraderie begin to form among them.
After a
After a few moments of awkward silence, Germany cleared her throat and offered, "Perhaps we could share some stories about our homelands while we enjoy the picnic?" It was meant as a light-hearted attempt to break the ice, but all eyes turned to her expectantly.
"Well," she continued cautiously, "my homeland is quite beautiful in the springtime, with fields of flowers stretching as far as the eye can see." She paused, then added with a smile, "Though I must admit, it gets very cold there during the winter."
What did you want to share about your homeland, America? Or North Korea?
"Oh..I must be going.." France said, quickly standing and rushing away from them
Germany was briefly surprised by France's sudden departure but then turned her attention back to the others at the picnic blanket. "Well, I hope you both will feel comfortable sharing your stories as well," she said gently. "Perhaps we can all learn from each other and grow closer as neighbors."
There was a moment of silence before America finally spoke up, her expression softening slightly. "My homeland is very different from Germany's. It's full of energy and excitement, with people who are always looking forward to the next big thing. There's never a dull moment in America." She paused, then added with a grin, "And we have some really great burgers too."
What about you, North Korea? Do you want to share something about your homeland as well?
later in the afternoon..
As the day turned into evening, the scent of warm bread and wine mingled with the aroma of the flowers that grew along the garden path. Germany looked content as she sat between America and North Korea, her ears flickering occasionally in response to their conversation. The tension seemed to have eased significantly since they'd started sharing stories about their homelands, and it was almost possible to forget that there had ever been any conflict among them.
They talked about everything from the history of their countries to the foods they liked best, each one learning something new about the others as they shared personal anecdotes and cultural insights. As the stars began to twinkle overhead, a sense of camaraderie filled the air, and for that brief moment in time, it seemed as though they were nothing more than friends enjoying a pleasant summer evening together.
