Capital Girls: Game On!

Dreamtalia Pt. 2

Rose shot up from her sleep with a terrified look on her face. She panted as she tried to regain her composure. Her entire body was shaking violently. Tears threatened to spill from her beautiful, amber eyes. That was so scary, Rose thought as she grabbed her teddy bear that was to the side of her. She then looked down at the teddy bear. "Were you there Mr. Bear?" She asked the stuffed animal, as if she expected it to give her a proper answer. Of course, it didn't reply, or even attempt to.

That's when Rose went to the door. She went across the hall towards her Father's room. If he was still in bed, she planned to nap with him. When she opened the door though, she was surprised to find Germany in the room, standing next to Italy's bed. Italy was still asleep and Germany had a shocked look on his face.

"Mr. Germany, what are you doing in Papa's room?" Rose asked.

Germany turned to look at Rose, a bit shocked to find her awake. "Rose, vhat are you doing?" He asked.

"I asked you first Mr. Germany,"

Germany was a bit nervous. He wasn't sure on what to tell the young child. ".....I came to check on Italy and found him, vell, like this."

Rose turned her head in confusion as she looked at her Father. "Why is it bad that Papa is sleeping?"

"...He's in a coma-like state Rose."

"What's a coma?"

"...It means Italy might not wake-up."

Rose gasped. Not wake-up? She thought. How could he not wake-up? Papa has to wake-up! "You are going to help him, right Mr. Germany?"

Germany was taken aback but nodded. "Ja, I vill Rose,"

A sigh of relief exited Rose. If Germany said he was going to help Italy, then she knew she could trust him.

"Can you go vake Katrina up Rose?"

"Sí, okay Mr. Germany," Rose skipped off to Katrina's room and saw Katrina was sleeping in her bed. Rose walked up to the bed and shook Katrina. "Katrina, wake-up. Mr. Germany wants you to get up."

Katrina did not wake-up. In fact, she barely moved.

Rose tried shaking her even harder. "Please Katrina, wake-up. You need to get up."

When Katrina didn't awaken, Rose placed a hand to Katrina's chest and was shocked to find that her heartbeat was very slow.

"Mr. Germany!"

***************

Rose waited on the couch for Germany to come back to the house. He went to the Allies to see if they were somehow behind all of this. However, Rose knew something else was going on. I don't think the Allies are behind this, she thought. Something else is going on. Papa and Katrina are sleeping because of something else. Does it have to do with the dream I had last night? What does it mean?

As she waited, Rose looked over at the pictures on the table. She looked at the one of Catherine and Germany. If Katrina's Mama was here, then maybe Katrina would wake-up. But then, what about Papa? How would he wake-up?

Just then, the phone rang. Rose jumped a little out of surprise but then calmed down when she realized it was just the phone. She then made her way over to it and answered it. "Hello?" she asked.

"Rose, I'll be at there in a few moments," Germany told the child. "I need you to be outside and ready."

"Did you find out what's wrong with Papa and Katrina?"

Germany was silent on the other end.

"Mr. Germany?"

".....Nein. Just head outside and I'll be there soon."

"Okay." As Rose hung up, she felt that the little bit of hope she had had just disappeared. What now? she thought as she went outside to get in Germany's car.

As Rose got in the car, Germany explained what had happened at the Allies home and how he had gone to ask his older brother for advice on what to do. However, while he was there, Austria fell into sudden comatose as well, right in front of him.

"Mr. Austria is asleep too?" Rose questioned. "Why does this keep happening?"

"I don't know," Germany admitted. "But ve're going to find out one vay or another."

".....Mr. Germany, I'm really scared," Rose squeaked.

Germany tensed up a bit upon hearing that. He wasn't sure what to do. Sure he took care of Katrina, but Katrina and Rose were two completely different kids; Katrina was tough and reserved while Rose was friendly and easily frightened. Think, vhat vould Italy do to try and comfort Rose? Germany thought. He then glanced over at Rose. He saw her hands were shaking a bit and gently wrapped his large hand around her small, petite one. Rose stopped shaking and looked up at Germany. "Rose, it'll be all right," Germany told her.

Rose was still in shock that Germany was holding her hand. She knew the German wasn't very affectionate so this was a shock to say the least. Then she realized what he had said; "You....You promise?"

".....I promise."

Rose then stuck out her right pinky. "Pinky promise?"

Germany looked at Rose in shock. The way she held out her pinky reminded him of Italy. He smiled a little before wrapping his pinky around Rose's. "Ja, I promise."

Rose smiled a little bit at the sign of hope. "Where are we going now?"

"Ve have to go back to the Allies."

************************

Meanwhile, Britain was pacing the room, trying to figure out what was going on. "This is not normal," he muttered to himself. "What could this be? I swear I've seen this happen once before..."

As Britain was in deep thought, Amelia walked into the room. "Father, do you have any idea what this could be?" she asked. "I'm very worried about Canada, and you know Emma is worried too."

"I know Amelia," Britain replied.

Suddenly, the door slammed open, causing Britain and Amelia to jump in fright. They looked over and saw that it was Germany who had slammed the door open and had come charging into the room with Rose following behind. "England!" he shouted in anger.

Britain was absolutely shocked. "What the- how did you get out?!" he shouted.
