Announcer: Screaming SOS in the Center of the World
*sound of waves*
Italy: Germany!
Germany: Hm? What is it?
Italy: I’ve found a crab!
Germany: Oh, that’s quite a good catch, Italy! Austria, how are you doing over there in the rocky stretch?
Austria: *whimpers* I’m not really apt for these outdoor things… What would you do if my skin burned? To look out over the ocean while being indoors is what I’d cherish the most. Really, how did it turn into something like this? There’s neither a piano or a violin… What’s more, there isn’t even a cup of coffee!
Italy: Mr. Austria, the crab is so cute!
Austria: Wahh! You dolt! T-take it away! Germany! Germany!!
Germany: Ugh… Look, I’ve taken it away. Honestly… don’t be scared about something like a crab.
Italy: It’s cute isn’t it? The crab.
Germany: I can’t understand that kind of feeling.
Austria: Geh… Do you understand it, Italy? Crabs are forbidden from now on. Alright?!
Italy: Then, here is a starfish!
Austria: Ahh! Stop it! *runs away screaming*
Germany: Come on, come on…
*Japan is reading a book*
England: Say, Japan…
Japan: What’s the matter, England-san?
England: Why… are we in a place like this again?
Japan: *closes the book* Please get a hold of yourself, England-san! We all gathered at America-san’s birthday party, and on our way home-
France: *walks up* We were shipwrecked.
Japan: France-san?! Wait! What happened to your clothes?!
France: “Clothes?” Ah, yes, I took them off. Nicely and neatly.
Japan: W-what are you doing?! This is a public area!
France: Look, this is… how should I put it? Something like becoming one with nature? This isn’t my personal preference… It’s for the environment, kind of. To the world, it is also a manifestation of all my Love.
Japan: If you love it so much, then please don’t throw your clothes away as if they were trash. Put them on and then do something for the environment!
France: Japan… Were you affected by my pheromones? *chuckles* I can do nothing about it…
Japan: Pheromones and the like aren’t the issue here…
Russia: *walks up* I’m back!! I’ve brought with me some strange creatures I found lying around back there.
Lithuania: What?! T-these are… A kesarampasaran? Or a tuna… or even… It even looks like a monster!
[T/N: A “kesarampasaran” is a face powder, made out of vine-seed week flock, believed to promote desire and happiness.]
Russia: *chuckles* I never imagined this thing would attack me with a pro-wrestling technique then.
Japan: That living beings like these exist in this place is a true mystery of nature.
Russia: Alright! Then I shall make a pot-au-feu from this right away.
Lithuania: I-I think it’s best if we don’t eat it… yes…
England: We were… shipwrecked!
America: *comes in from some brush* Don’t put on a face that isn’t like you, England. Why don’t you think of this as an early vacation?
England: America… Judging from the way you look, it seems you couldn’t find any people around here.
America: That’s if you look at the bad side of it. If you look at its good side, this island would be something of our island.
England: *sighs* But, leaving other things aside, how can you be here with us?
America: Oh? Is it so weird? If I must give a reason, I felt like being in a festive mood for a little while longer.
England: *groans* That’s fine with me, but why the heck did I have to be shipwrecked with you?
America: However, I don’t think that I’d be unhappier than I am. Given being together with you is the greatest misfortune there can be.
England: I-I beg your pardon?! That’s my line! Besides, you were the one who broke the escape raft that I built!
America: Ack, sorry! My spirits were too high. But isn’t it strange that it broke from that one jump alone? Could it be… that it broke because it was God’s wish?
Japan: Now, now, America-san…
England: What was that, you prick?!
France: You two manage to build up such an idiotic fight even under these circumstances… By the way, what are you reading, Japan?
Japan: Ah, this is a book on plants. Just in case there is a poisonous plant around.
America: And? Have you stumbled upon a plant that tastes like meat?
Japan: That’s impossible…
Italy: Heeeey!!
America: Oh, isn’t that Italy’s group?
*Germany and Italy walk up*
Germany: We managed to get our hands on many things. It’s time to start getting the food ready.
Italy: We have crab, shellfish, fish and coconuts! I did my best, Big Brother.
France: Oh, that’s quite impressive. It looks like it’ll be a delicious dinner.
Austria: *sobbing* That’s… just too evil! I-I was forced to… That squid! I’ll not be able to marry into anybody’s family!
France: And? What happened to him over there?
Germany: Would you please not ask? What is it, Japan? You seem to be enjoying it.
Japan: Hehe. I always wanted to be able to relax like this on an island in the South at least once.
Germany: I see.
France: Yes, it might not be such a bad thing. If there were some pretty women around and a restaurant surrounded by a white wall, it would be even better.
Italy: I want some pasta, pizza and some mandarins!
Germany: Well, if I had some beer, I would have nothing to say.
Japan: Then, it’d also be best if we were promptly saved…
France: That’s true.
England: I wonder… if help will come.
*a big wave crashes on the shore*
England: S-say, America…
America: What is it, England?
England: In this place, days are hot, but it gets pretty chilly at night.
America: I am forced to agree with what you said.
England: So it is, isn’t it?
America: England?
England: It’s so cold…
America: I won’t do anything for you.
England: Be quiet! It’s not like I’m counting on you! I’m not counting on you at all! So get to sleep, you idiot!
Italy: Mm…
England: Ah, Italy, I’m sorry! Did I wake you up?
Italy: Huh? Mm…
Russia: If you keep on fighting so loudly, you’ll manage to wake everyone up.
Lithuania: M-mr. Russia! Everyone was pretending not to hear anything!
England: W-what? Everyon’e awake, after all?
France: That’s because you were having a lovers’ quarrel here.
England: Don’t say it was a lovers’ quarrel!
Japan: Well, it’s not like we were peeping and such…
Austria: It interested us.
Germany: Yes, so don’t mind us and please carry on. *yawns* I’m going to sleep*
England: Urk…
Italy: Ah!
*a shooting star appears*
Italy: Whoa! Whoa! Whooooa!! E-everyone!! T-that’s…!
America: What’s the matter, Italy?
Italy: It’s a shooting star!
Everyone: A shooting star?
Italy: Yes! A really big shooting star came whirring and then, bang!
Germany: Yes, and?
Italy: Ah, yes… So, I thought, if everyone made a wish, we might be able to get home.
Germany: Italy… Do you still believe in such childish…
Lithuania: *laughs* That’s a good idea!
Austria: Even though it doesn’t follow the rules of science…
France: It’s a rather romantic thing, isn’t it?
Japan: No matter what country you’re from, you always end up praying to some entity you call God for help.
Russia: Well, I think it won’t hurt us to give it a try.
America: Even though it’d sound like we are characters in a movie!
England: We’ve got nothing to lose, either.
Germany: You guys…
Italy: Then, when the next shooting star comes into view, we shall say where we want to go back all toge- Ah! It’s a shooting star!
*another shooting star appears*
England: Hurry up!
Italy: U-uwahh! 1, 2 and…
Everyone: *speaking all together, but it’s a mess of completely different wishes*
America: Why did you guys say different things?! It’s at times like these when you wish I’d turn into a hero, isn’t it?! Then I’ll transform, leap into the sky, and save everyone, right?
Japan: No, I’m afraid that’s a little…
France: What’s the problem with wishing that everyone would love France more?
England: You’re all just a bunch of fools!
Austria: Well, I was already aware that all of you were nothing but a huddle of dolts.
Germany: *sighs* Enough, I don’t want to think about anything any more…
Russia: That’s good every once in a while, isn’t it?
Lithuania: Compared to Mr. Russia’s place… wouldn’t it be Heaven?
