All he could see is darkness; a never ending void, no one was there. Italy walked around not knowing where to go."Hello... anyone there?" his voice echoed and then silence returned one again. Nothing changed. it was still dark, he walked a bit more until he heard a voice. " Hello... anyone there?" said the voice that sounded almost like Italy's but a bit... darker. Italy turned around to see who it was, It was none other than his own reflection but it somehow seemed... different. It had a redder shade of hair and purple eyes. He lifted up his hand and it did the same, he backed away it did the same. Italy spoke "Hello who are you? You look just like me." Italy smiled but his reflection didn't. There was a brief silence but it was suddenly interrupted by a malicious laugh, it was his reflection. Italy's smile was soon wiped off his face at the fact that his reflection was maliciously looking and laughing at him. Italy wanted to run but he was somehow paralyzed, he was unable to run, he felt like his feet where being held down to the grown. All he could do is cry. Italy's reflection was slowly walking up to him with a hand behind his back. Italy tried to run even tough he knew it was useless. "You want to know who I am?" said his reflection revealing what he was holding in his hand behind his back, a knife. His reflection stopped walking towards him, it was all silent until he spoke up again " Well... i'm you of course." The reflection threw the knife at Italy, Italy knew that this was not going to end well...

"Aghhhh!" Italy screamed as he jumped out of bed. He looked around his room as he calmed himself down. Italy sighed in relief that it was just a dream, more like a nightmare he thought. "Thank god it was only a dream" he said, but just to make sure that doppelganger was not real he checked every single inch of the room just to make sure. He even checked under his bed. Italy sighed (once again) in relief that the dream wasn't real. He looked at the time, it was 10:34 am. He felt like he was forgetting something, it took him a few seconds to remember "... OH NO! i'm late for training! Germany's gonna get mad at me!" Italy quickly put his clothes on and got out of his bedroom. He rushed though the front door of the house an ran as quickly as he could to where Germany, Japan and him would usually train... not like he was gonna arrive on time.

Italy ran as fast as he could to get to the training area. When he finally made it there he saw Germany and Japan talking. "I'm here!" Italy exclaimed. Germany turned around with a irritated look on his face.

-"ITALY! You are late!" Germany yelled

-"WAHHH! I'M SORRY!" Italy cried

Germany let out a large sigh. He looked at the Italian that was currently crying and rapidly speaking gibberish that he couldn't make out.

-"Alright, alright stop crying... Now what's your excuse this time?" Germany said looking a bit annoyed

Italy wiped away his tears and stood up straight.

-"Well... I guess my alarm didn't work this morning and I overslept."

-"What?" Germany looked at Italy with a puzzled look on his face. 'This is the second time this week you are late for training for the same exact reason!'

-"Yeah... I should probably get a new alarm clock..." said Italy feeling quite embarrassed. Japan walked over to where Italy was standing.

-"Good morning Italy-san." said Japan while bowing atthe same time

-"Good morning Japan~"Italy said smiling

Japan looked at Italy with a concerned look on his face.

-"Italy... are you tired?" Japan asked

It was then that Italy realized that he was tired, really tired. That nightmare must have caused him to have a bad night's sleep. He didn't want to make Germany nor Japan worried, so he just put on a smile.

-"Oh it's nothing!~ Nothing to be worried about!" Italy said trying to make it as convincing as possible to not look tired

-"Alright then" said Germany, "We start training now! Italy you will do three extra laps for being late!"

-"WHAT!" exclaimed Italy, "Nooo! I don't want to! Please Germany give me an other chance pleeaaasseee!"

-"NIEN! I gave you a change the last time! Now start running!"

Italy sighed and started his laps. Standing there and doing nothing wasn't going to change the fact that he had laps to run, and that he had three extra ones for being late. Plus changing Germany's mind was like trying to make peanut butter cry.
