What is up with me with GerIta fanfics with Arthur doing something idiotic? I really don't know, but I decided to do something a little more down to Earth and a bit realistic…meaning Arthur does something idiotic again. What is it? Well, read on! I DO NOT OWN HETALIA. And yes, Charice and Rizal are in here. Sorry 'bout that XD
/=+=/
"Sind Sie für das Treffen bereit, Ludwig?"["Are you ready for the meeting, Ludwig?"]
"Herr Bundespräsident...bitte rufen Sie mich während der Konferenz nur bei meinem richtigen Namen." ["Mr. President...please call me by my real name during the meeting."]
"Selbstverständlich, Deutschland."["Of course, Deutschland [1]."]
Ludwig watched as his current boss went to his advisors to talk about the meeting that was going to happen with Kiku and Charice with their bosses. He had to admit, Wulff [2] wasn't a bad man. He had obtained the presidential rank on the hope that he would hope the region of lower Saxony will recover from the budget crisis that was gripping those people, yet today he was focusing on international issues with Japan and the Philippines.
"Deutschland." Wulff stepped to him. "The other two are coming in soon."
"Thank you." Ludwig stated. "I'll meet up with them personally. Please prepare your topics of discussion while I see them."
Wulff nodded as Ludwig stepped out of the room. He walked through the hallways before he saw the entrance, hearing the snapping of cameras in the entrance of the building. The doors slowly opened and he saw Prime Minister Kan Naoto [3[ walking into the building with his wife at his side and a mob of security guards behind him. The doors closed behind the mob.
["Good afternoon, Doitsu."] He said in Japanese.
["Good afternoon, Prime Minister."] Ludwig greeted back in his best Japanese. ["My boss is in the meeting room, waiting for you."]
["Thank you."]
Naoto turned his head and nodded toward one of the security guards before walking with his wife to the meeting room. As the security guards followed him, he noticed that one of them had stayed behind. The man walked up to him and removed his helmet, revealing his face.
"Kiku…since when did you start wearing security uniforms?"
"There was too much security press out there. My boss informed me to cover my face." He answered. "He wants to make sure no one sees me."
"Of course. I understand. The outside world should not know of our appearance." Ludwig turned to Kiku. "Have you seen Charice and Rizal?"
"Their plane had arrived an hour ago, so they should be here soon."
The doors opened again, and President Benigno S. Aquino III [4] walked in with his security guards. He gave a quick nod toward the both of them and then whispered something to a security guard before slowly walking into the meeting room. The security guard removed her helmet, a familiar shining gold clip in her hair.
"Charice?" Ludwig blinked.
"Eh? Hey, Doitsu-ki! Nihon-san!" She chirped and ran toward them. "What do you think? This security suit was custom made for me!"
"I like it." Kiku smiled. "I just had to borrow one from the police force…"
"Charice…please stop calling me that…"
"What? Aw, come on!" Charice whimpered. "I like calling you Doitsu-ki!"
"We're in a serious environment, Charice. You have to take things seriously." Ludwig looked around. "Where's your brother, anyway?"
"Who, Rizal? Oh, he's hanging out with Al-kun and Iggy-kun in Hawaii." She stated. "He told me to come here in his place."
"…fine." Ludwig shook his head. "Let's just join our bosses for the meeting. We have serious issues to talk about."
/=[MEANWHILE, IN HAWAII (which, by the way, is nighttime now)…]=/
Rizal stared at Arthur on the ground, then to an amused Alfred, and then turned back to Arthur on the ground. He was laughing extremely hard and twitching in a weird way, a hand still wrapped around a cup.
"Is he…going to be OK?"
"Yeah, he's just like this…" Alfred chuckled. "When he's drunk, of course."
"Well, if he's drunk, at least he's not going to-"
He jumped to his feet and started cackling rapidly. Suddenly he ran around them twice in a fast pace, and when he stopped, he was in a white toga and had wings and a halo. He was swinging his wand rapidly and there was a tattoo at his side hip, still laughing.
"-nevermind."
"I'm…f-f-f-finally…going to…get…my REVEEEEEENNNNNNGGGGGGEEEEE…on yoooooouuuu…."
He tried to aim his wand at Alfred and started swinging it rapidly, trying to cast a spell but failing horribly. Meanwhile, Rizal was staring at the both of them before Arthur started laughing even louder and swung his glowing wand in a loud fashion…to absolutely nothing.
"…nothing happened." Rizal stated.
"Ohhhh…hohoho…" Arthur grinned. "We're just…getting staaarrrttteeddd…."
/=[BACK TO GERMANY…]=/
Ludwig watched the meeting go on as planned. None of the leaders were snapping out into a rage and Charice wasn't breaking anything, so for now a compromise was going to be done. Next to him, he could see Kiku sitting there looking blankly at the other leaders and Charice on his other side was trying her best to figure out what anyone was talking about.
She is a fairly young country that hasn't done much of political work. He thought. I guess I'm going to have to explain all this later-
A sharp pain shot itself in Ludwig's head, and he cringed in pain as he keeled over. Kiku and Charice turned to their heads in shock as the other leaders stopped dead in their conversation. Ludwig fell out of his chair into Charice's arms, his lungs burning as if they were shrinking.
"Doitsu-ki!" She turned to Kiku. "You're older than me! What's going on?"
"I-I don't know…I haven't seen anything like this before…" He answered. "This must be…"
Meanwhile, Wulff was screaming at his advisors to contact National Security as soon as possible. The other two leaders watched in shock as Ludwig continued to cringe in pain. Kiku could only cringe in remembering that the same thing was happening to Alfred when he was attacked a long time ago. He was at his side when that happened, and…
"Herr Bundespräsident!" ["Sir!"] An advisor said in German. "Das Verteidigungsministerium meldet keinen Angriff oder einen sonstigen Bruch unserer Sicherheit. Alles ist ruhig." ["The National Security hasn't seen any breach or attack. Nothing is going on."]
"Wenn das so ist, was geht dann...?" ["If that is the case, then what is going…?"]
Everyone suddenly got blinded by a bright light that erupted by Ludwig. When the light receded, Charice looked down to the man…or rather, boy. For some reason, Ludwig had turned back into a child, his uniform shrunk to fit his figure. He opened his eyes and looked up.
"What the…?" He looked around. "What the hell happened to me?"
"…oh…my…god."
"What?" He turned to Charice. "Other than the fact that I'm suddenly seven years old, what the hell are you gawking about?"
"You're…pronouncing your w's…" She gasped. "Oh my god, he has an Italian accent [5]!"
"THAT'S what you're freaking out about?" Ludwig panicked.
It was then that they realized that Kiku was explaining to their leaders about what was going on to Ludwig. After a few minutes, Wulff nodded and turned to lean toward his country, trying to do his best to show him his upmost respect toward his older and wiser counterpart.
"Deutschland, dieser Ort ist nicht mehr sicher für Sie. Sie sind in dieser Form zu verletzlich und wir wissen nicht, ob da draußen jemand ist, der Ihre Lage ausnutzen könnte." ["Deutschland, this place is no longer safe for you. You are too vulnerable, and we don't know who might be out there to take advantage of your condition."]
"Bitte, Herr Präsident, ich kann noch immer-"["Please sire, I can still-"]
"Es ist schon gut. Ich kann dieses Treffen allein bewältigen. Dafür bin ich ausgebildet worden." ["It's OK. I can handle this meeting by myself. That was what I was trained to do."] Wulff stated. "Ich habe Kiku angewiesen sich um Sie zu kümmern. ["I have told Kiku that he will take care of you.] Charice, if you don't mind, I want you to join Kiku in protecting my country."
"I'll do what I can, sir!"
"Thank you." He turned back to Ludwig. "Ich habe Kikus Telefonnummer für den Notfall. Ich ersuche Sie dringenst, sofort zu gehen — solange die Presse noch abwesend ist." ["I have Kiku's phone number in case of emergency contact. I implore you that you leave now, while the media is gone."]
"Es tut mir leid…" ["…I'm sorry…"]
"Es ist schon gut, Deutschland. Schließlich ist es meine Aufgabe Ihnen zu dienen!" ["It's OK, Deutschland. After all, I am here to serve you!"]
/=+=/
"OK then…" Charice said as she and Kiku walked out of the state hall. "Where are we going first?"
"Let's go to my house first…" Ludwig answered. "I want a change in clothes…if people saw me in my uniform, then my cover will be blown."
"Right…" Kiku looked up. "After that, where can we go? Do we leave the country?"
"We shouldn't go that far, in case his leader needs him." Charice said, trying to compromise. "Ludwig, what's your verdict?"
"…we go to Austria's house."

[1] Deutschland is Germany's real name. The name "Germany" is actually an exonym used by Americans because the land was used to be called "Germania" around AD 100. In my personal opinion, the Japanese name "Doitsu" is closer to the name Deutschland. By the way, Deutschland is pronounced "Doit-sh-land". In case anyone doesn't know this already, Japan is an exonym that was pulled out by Portuguese traders, more specifically the word Jepang.
[2] Christian Wulff is the current president of Germany, elected in June 30th 2010. He's fairly popular there, and he has a Wiki page. Look him up if you're extremely curious, cause I don't have enough room to type up everything that he did.
[3] Kan Naoto, or in American terms Naoto Kan is the Prime Minister of Japan. Check his Wiki page, but all I know is that he resigned his office and was reelected a couple of times.
[4] Benigno S. Aquino III is the current president of the Philippines, elected in June 30th 2010. He has a Wiki page, but a small fact that it's fun to know is that his father is the first president of the Republic of the Philippines.
[5] This is a homage to the English Dub. Sorry if it makes you mad, so…
Yeah, the beginning sucks. The second chapter's going to be better, OK? Don't rush me…
And for the translations…help me, since I got Google Translate…
