Part II Into a Brighter WorldA Chapter by Von AlisHetalia Fanfiction1991 “A
new chapter in this story is beginning. The Wall has fallen. I cannot fathom
the fact that it has been nearly 40 years since Russia and Prussia built that
monstrosity, though my brother did so against his will. But now all that
remains are the ghosts of what was, we will never forget. Prussia has healed; I had only seen him
once or twice behind the Wall. His face was gaunt and thin, the wound on his
temple cracked from harsh winters. For many years I believed he would simply
fade like so many other countries before him, that we would never be whole
again. But we have become unified again. Unified under one flag we stand. Russia has not been much trouble lately.
He and America have just about ended their, “Cold War.” But it seems Russia’s
time as the Soviet Union has ended. Even I fear for his sanity, but if the recent
Fall has taught us anything, it is that a brighter future is possible. Italy, I wonder if he knows I did what I
thought was right. I was afraid, that is what scared me the most, my own fear,
fear of losing him, Prussia, and myself. That doesn’t justify me acting as I
did. If he even remembers the night he surrendered to the Allies, as he has the
most amazing ability to forget anything of importance, I wonder, does he
forgive me? His much less significant
other certainly doesn’t, at times I wonder which of the two brothers annoys me
more. For instance, as I am writing this Italy
is bouncing a football off of my window, Romano however is pelting the other
side of the house with rotted tomatoes. Prussia, as usual, is nowhere to be
found while work is to be done. I digress. Japan has since made an amazing recovery
and is on better terms with America, who is, as usual, doing astonishingly well
and rubbing it in. Although he was the one to convince Russia, as well as
several of the other nations to let the Wall be torn down, I should be very
grateful. I cannot, however, say the same for
France or England. Both, however much or little, wanted Prussia and my demises,
or at least our eternal separation. They argued the Fall saying we would only
revert back to the ways of 1939. Though it is not surprising that they have
held a grudge this long it is extremely odd in comparison with America’s more
peaceful actions towards the former Axis. They will no doubt be reading this
once I’ve finished.” The
door swung open suddenly and Prussia launched himself into the doorframe, “Bruder,
stop writing in that stupid journal and come outside! The weather is wonderful!”
a smile broadened on the country’s face. “I brought beer!” Germany
turned from his desk and smiled up at his elder brother, always using the
weather as an excuse to go out and get drunk. “I’ll be there in a moment,” he
replied. Italy’s
head appeared under Prussia’s arm, surprising the silver-haired country. “Germany!
Germany! Let’s play football!” he shouted. Germany’s
grin twitched slightly, that was probably the last thing he wanted to be doing
now, but… “All right, just let me finish.” Turning hurriedly to the unfinished
entry Germany scrawled the last line in and leapt up from his chair. Walking out into the warm sunshine he watched
as the world spun by him. France
was standing on Germany’s roof laughing hysterically at England who had gotten himself
stuck in the chimney, no doubt after the journal. Russia stood with a sunflower
in hand just enjoying a moment of peace with his eyes shut to the world. Japan
sat quietly petting his little dog and watching the sun slowly set. America
laughed obnoxiously while eating a hamburger, drinking soda, and talking at the
same time. Something Germany had once thought was physically impossible. Italy
and Romano kicked a football back and forth, a game that could last for hours. “Come
on, bruder, you need to get out more!” Prussia shouted disturbing Germany’s
thoughts. Tossing his brother a drink Prussia smiled, “It’s perfect isn’t it?
Now let’s enjoy it!” He laughed uproariously and walked off. Germany
smiled, it was, the world was perfect. “The day is dawning, forward we march. Into
a brighter world.” © 2011 Von AlisAuthor's Note
