Australia Ending

America read a text from Australia, he had planned another guys night out event. This time it was an overnight rock climbing camp out. As soon as he finished reading the text he received another text from Australia: GUYS ONLY. NO GIRLS ALLOWED.

The next day after meeting up at the location Australia sent him he sighed. He knew it. "Why is Vietnam here? Again."

It was among the crowd of male countries there was one lone Asian female, Vietnam, Australia's girlfriend. She had been to every one of Australia's "guys only" meet up ever since they began going out. The other guys understood that Australia just got a girlfriend but a guys only even should be, well, guys only. "Yeah, Aussie, I think I'll just stay home for this one. It is a guys only even after all," Vietnam backed up awkwardly. She enjoyed every one of the trips and got along with everyone but she still found it kind of awkward being the only girl around.

Australia pulled Vietnam into a headlock. "What are you guys talking about? Vietnam is practically one of the guys. Come on, this never bothered you guys before why now."

They all looked around each other awkwardly, Vietnam had also begun finding her shoes suddenly very interesting. The truth is for the most part everything was fine and she did fit in like the rest of the guys. The only problem is that Australia decided to treat Vietnam exactly like a guy. It got really awkward especially when someone would have to stand watch when Vietnam went to relieve herself during camping trips or when Australia insisted that they ALL shared the same tent. He refused the idea of Vietnam sleeping in a different tent, even when the other guys offered to even pitch the tent for her, Australia claimed it would affect their bonding if she slept in a different tent. "Most of the deep manly talks are shared inside tents before going to sleep," he had said. What he didn't realize was that it was hard to have deep manly talks when they were all aware that a girl was in the tent with them.

To be honest, it was beginning to bother Vietnam quite a lot these days. Their friendship had been friendly from the start, they just clicked. They were always confident and playfully teasing each other and the only time Vietnam ever saw Australia actually nervous was when he asked her to be his girlfriend. But that was the only time she saw him nervous, after that they went back to their playful relationship and then he started bringing her to his guys only events. She still loved his cheerful and active nature but every once in a while she would feel like she was more of a guy friend then a girlfriend to Australia.

"How many girls do you know that can keep up with the guys as well as she does. Sometimes I wonder myself if she's actually a guy," Australia joked and the awkward air was around them again. Vietnam continued to look at her shoes knowing she was receiving some looks of pity. But she was taken by surprise when Australia suddenly wrapped an arm around her shoulder pulling her closer to him. "Only someone like my girlfriend could hold her own among the guys," he smiled proudly at her. Vietnam smiled, he always knew when to come up with the words to reassure her that she was special to him.

"What?! We're going actual rock climbing?!" Everyone turned to see that it was China who had come late and only held a helmet in his hand. "I only brought a helmet because I thought we were going indoor rock climbing."

"He said to bring camping supplies," Iceland pointed out, "did you think we were going to camp at an indoor rock climbing facility?"

"That's fine, that's all you'll need anyways," Australia laughed and all the others looked at him shocked. "We're only going to climb a small distance to the camping sight."

"What about all our camping supplies," England asked," you can't expect us to climb, no matter what distance with all this stuff on our backs do you."

"Oh, don't worry a van will bring all the stuff up for us, don't worry," Australia waved walking towards the base of their climbing sight.

"Then why don't we just take the van all the way up?"

"Cause a real man shouldn't take any rides to get to where he's going, he's gotta climb his way up all by himself," Australia explained, already starting his way up the wall of the mountain and turned back to smile at them," no ropes or safe guards but with his own bare hands and that is the moral of this trip." They were all still staring at Australia wondering if he was actually crazy. The summit wasn't that far up but still seemed quite dangerous to climb, especially without ropes. "Come on,"Australia urged when no one was moving. Vietnam was the first to move at Australia's urging and the others began climbing the mountain soon after.

Though Vietnam was the first to start climbing after Australia she soon became the last one on the mountain. She was near the end when it became visible that she was getting tired. Some gasps were heard when she lost her grip a couple of times but none from Australia, he only stood at the edge watching the woman who was his girlfriend intensely. They all let out a sigh of relief when Vietnam finally got a hand over the top. She got both her shoulders over the edge but found herself to tired to pull herself the rest of the way up and leaned on her arms to catch her breath.

Germany went to help Vietnam the rest of the way up when Australia held an arm out to stop him, all the while keeping his eyes on Vietnam. "Let her pull herself up."

"But she's obviously exhausted," Germany said shocked. Others were also pretty shocked at how Australia was treating his own girlfriend.

"Everyone managed to pull themselves up, there will be no special treatment," was Australia's only response.

"Come on," Romano said frustrated, "she's your girlfriend, she's still a girl."

"So what if she's a girl. No. special. treatment."

The rest fell silent and even though she understood that Australia was trying to be fair she was still a little hurt at how aloof he sounded. She used her frustration to pull herself the rest of the way up and just sat there, she didn't want to look at anyone. She then felt a hand ruffling her hair gently. She looked up to see Australia smiling at her.

"Good job," pride visible in his eyes," that's my girl." Vietnam felt the feeling of frustration being wiped away with every stroke of Australia's hand.

"Vietnam?" They looked up to see Taiwan and the rest of the girls. "We were wondering who's camping stuff were being dropped off here."

"What are you ladies doing in a place like this," Australia asked smiling with his hands on his hips.

"Well since all the guys were going on a camping trip we decided to have our own girls only camping trip too and it looks like we're gonna be camp sight neighbors." Belgium said and leaned over to look at Vietnam behind Australia. "You dragged Vietnam with you again, Australia, you should at least let her stay at our camp sight since we're next to each other."

"No way," Australia said resting his arm around Vietnam's shoulder, "not gonna let you seduce any of my men, even if one of my men is a woman. We'll have our guys only trip and you guys have your girls only trip."

"But Vietnam's a girl too" Hungary argued.

"Let's head to our camp sight before it gets too dark," Australia ignored them picking up his hiking belongings.

"What, I thought this was our camp sight," England exclaimed.

"Nope, it's just a little ahead," Australia answered smiling already heading down the path.

"But Vietnam looks pretty tired," Russia said looking at Vietnam worriedly.

"Don't underestimate her strength," Australia yelled over his shoulder. He looked back to smile at Vietnam," you're a strong one aren't you Miss Vietnam." Vietnam was feeling a little tired but she felt a little more energy coming back to her after Australia's encouraging look, if he had faith in her she could have faith in herself. She nodded and started on the path herself.

The guys and girls were walking side by when Australia noticed Liechtenstein was getting quite out of breath and he lifted her bags out of her hands. She looked up at him surprised and he smiled back at her. "It looked pretty heavy for you, I'll help you carry your bags to your sight."

"Hey, what happened to staying to guys only and girls only," Taiwan teased.

Australia chuckled, "I know what I said but I'm not a jerk, I still know how to treat a girl."

Vietnam fell back in the group. She was getting tired of being treated like one of the guys, she didn't feel any special anymore, she just felt like one of the guys. If he knew how to treat a girl than why was he treating his own girlfriend as a guy?

America noticed that she was slowing down her pace and walked next to her. "Hey Vietnam, do you need me to help you carry your bags?"

"No, I'm fine," Vietnam put on a weak smile.

"We're all carrying our own weight," Australia called back to them.

"Vietnam's still a girl."

"Everyone in our group will carry their own weight. No exceptions."

"But you-"

"No exceptions." Was all he said as he continued to carry Liechtenstein's bags.

Vietnam looked at Australia carrying Liechtenstein's bags and she felt tears welling up in her eyes. She was tired physically and mentally. She knelt down and hid her face trying to compose herself. Would things have turned out better if they had just stayed friends?

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice America worriedly asking her if she was okay and was taken by surprise when he picked her up in his arms. Everyone was looking at her and Vietnam tried to tell America that she was fine when she say that Australia was standing in front of them.

"Put her down," Australia glared at America.

America scoffed, "are you serious, she's sick and you still want to stick to your stupid rules? She's stil-"

"Let go of my girlfriend," Australia yelled lifting Vietnam out of America's arms. "Don't touch her." Everyone was shocked in silence as Australia carried Vietnam forward, towards the camping ground.

"Australia, I'm fine," Vietnam said nervously, "you can put me down."

"No."

"I'm really fi-"

"No you're not!" He yelled and stopped in his tracks. "No you're not," he said more softly and looked at her apologetically. Vietnam realized he was looking at her eyes and she realized she still had tears in her eyes and tried to wipe them away, embarrassed.

"Sorry," she chuckled nervously.

Australia was staring at her still not smiling, "No, I'm sorry. I took things to far. I should have notice when you were tired and how selfish I was acting." His grip on her tightened. "The truth is that I really want to do everything with you, which is why I brought you along with all this guys stuff. I mean everything is so much more fun with you around, you can keep up with me and your so strong your like one of the guys!" He smiled but as soon as it came it was gone. "But you're still a girl, my girl. And if I wasn't being so jealous trying to keep guys from helping you I would have seen that I should have helped you myself."

Vietnam looked up at him surprised. "You were jealous?"

Australia looked ashamed and a blush dusted his cheeks. "I thought it was fun to bring you along with my adventures but then I saw that guys were having fun with you around too and I got to carried away trying to convince them to treat you like one of the guys before they began to like you like I did, I guess I convinced myself along the way too."

Vietnam kissed him on the cheek and it was Australia's turn to look surprised. "It's okay," she smiled. The surprised look didn't last long on Australia's face when he broke into a grin. "You can put me down now," Vietnam said patting his arm.

"Nope," Australia refused lifting her up higher in his arms.

"It's okay, I was only a little tired."

"Nope," Australia kissed Vietnam on the lips. "I want to carry just because, as your boyfriend."

"Oh yeah," Vietnam asked teasingly, "you think you can handle carrying me all the way there Mr. Australia." he tossed her up in the air and caught her. "Australia!"

He gave her a playful smirk, "I'm pretty sure I can Miss Vietnam." He tossed her up again, "you seem pretty light to me."

Vietnam was laughing when she landed in his arms this time around. "Then you haven't been doing your job have you, Mr. Australia? Why don't you put me down and go make me a sandwich, huh?"

"Why you," Australia smiled and spun her around and saw the rest of their group standing there smirking at them.

"What happened no exceptions," America smirked.

Australia wasn't flustered. He just shrugged smiling and said, "change of rules. Vietnam is a girl after all." He walked ahead again and stopped when a thought him. "Ah, another rule change, Vietnam isn't sharing a tent with the rest of us."

He turned back grinning brightly, "she and I will just share a tent."

The little dinner banter was a little reference from Japan's chapter. lol just wanted to say.

I haven't written in a log time, as in the last time I updated a story on here. I find myself wanting to write another story too but I still have this and another unfinished story and I'm so lazy. I have a habit of starting stories and finding a hard time finishing it, mostly because I'm lazy. Hopefully I haven't annoyed that much of you with my infrequent updates and I would totally understand if you have gotten fed up with me and gave up on my stories. But to those faithful followers thank you and I really do find it touching. -DBSKLOVER
