The Other Side

This isn't suppose be accurate or even make sense. The Field where the ancient nations are children and them being children was an idea I used from the story Marukaite Chikyuu By FrUk27. This story is really cool, I suggest you all read it. Anyway I hope you like this (short) one-shot. Possibly this will be a series of one-shots revolving around the ancients (OCs).

Germania squinted trying to see through the bright light. Faint laughter in the distance catching his attention, Germania ignored caution and walked into the light. Stepping into a large green field scattered with flowers of every color Germania stared in shock at the children running around the field;

"Germania!" A brunette yelled racing towards him. Eyes widening, Germania tried to dodge the taller boy; however, he was too slow.

"Umph!" Germania grunted, realizing his voice was much too high.

The boy straddling him grinned impishly. "I forgot how cute you were."

"Wha..?" Germania started, but before could finish two soft lips dusted across his. Suddenly, the grinning boy jumped off him. Rage quickly filling him, Germania jumped to his feet and shot after the other boy.

Two girls sitting quietly in one corner of the field making chains of flowers watched the scene unfold, leaning in close to blue eyed girl of the pair, the other whispers, "No wonder you thought he was a girl, Gaul."

Her friend smiled slightly. "Indeed."

Another girl walked over to them her face nervous. "Should we stop them?" She asked.

Gaul waved a hand. "Don't worry Greece. If comes to the point we actually have to send someone to stop them we'll send in Britannia." The blue eyed girl said; then giving the girl beside her a sly look, she continued, "After all she should know how to calm a barbarian; she is one after all."

Britannia growled. "I'll show you a barbarian.." Reaching out the girl yanked on Gaul's hair, causing the other to shriek in protest.

"You little-" Gaul snarled as she scratched at Britannia's face. Ancient Greece sighed and walked away from the warring pair. Looking around the field in a bored way, she thought maybe now would be a good time to take a nap...

Some yards away, a panting Germania collapsed onto the soft grass. "Aw...tired all ready?" Rome pouts, coming to stand next to Germania and poke him in the side with his foot.

Grumbling, Germania swatted at the foot. Eventually looking up at his rival, he questioned "What is this place? Why are we so young?"

Taking a seat beside his smaller friend, Rome smiled. "Well...I suppose you'd call this place the after life," he quickly corrected himself "For nations at least." He pauses, head tilting contemplatively. "Why were so young..." Shrugging at him, Rome said "I've never been too sure. You might have better luck asking Greece that question."

Pushing himself up, Germania said "I will."

"Nooo!" The other boy whined tugging his friend back down. At the irritated look the blond gave him Rome mumbled, "Not yet at least...you just got here.."

Germania sighed. "Fine."

Rome smiled brilliantly, pulling the boy flush against him. The pair were quiet for a short while happy to just watch the fields occupants mill around. "Is everyone here?" Inquires after recognizing nearly every face.

Rome shook his head. "Mostly...but I've heard from Scandinavia that China's still going strong; he even has several little brothers and sisters he's raising."

Germania swallowed thickly. "Do...do you think we'll see our charges again?"

Rome rolled his eyes at his friend. "You know it's okay to call them your kids or brothers or something other charges, you know." He chides.

Germania hesitated for a moment, "..I know.."

Nodding his head, Rome said "I think we'll see them again. We just have to be patient. After all nations simply don't last forever."

"Then I hope we don't see them too soon." Germania murmured.

Rome laughed at his friend, "You are too funny!" Standing up, Rome caused Germania to tumble without his support. While Germania scowled at him Rome offered his hand. "Come on Germania, let's play!"

"We aren't friends." Germania stated.

Rome's eyes glazed over for a moment. "Not while we were living...but here..." The taller boy's lips curled into a soft smiled "We can all be friends."

Germania started up at the Roman for several seconds before blushing. "I-I your right..."

Rome gave a boisterous laugh. "Of course I am!"

Taking the hand and allowing himself to be pulled up, Germania jabbed a finger at Rome's cheek. "Shut up. This is the first time and last time you'll ever be right."

Wearing a pleased smile Rome said "Whatever you say, Germania."

Thank you for reading, I hope you thought it was cute. If you think it's stupid that's nice too, actually if you do I'd like it if you told me why and gave suggestions to make this story and my other stories better. Please review.
