"Wait for me, brother!"
Romano turned as he heard his sibling call for him. Italy, smiling wide, came running up behind him. "I'm going to go walk around on the beach, okay?" Romano looked at this bundle of happiness and wondered how he did it. "Sure thing.... Not for too long, though, dinner's at 6."
"Alright!"

The waves crashed onto the warm sand as the Italian walked along the shore, shoes slung around his neck. He hummed to himself as he strolled, kicking at a shell every once in a while. He casually checked his watch and realized that it was almost 6:30. "Oh... Oops..." He began to turn back when he saw something laying on the beach, half in the water. It was something wrapped in blue fabric...It looked like a... Body! He ran towards it, his chest filling with worry. As he approached, he could tell that it was definately a body. He could see light blue hair, an arm or two, and a face. He stopped next to the body and gasped. It was... A girl! She looked to be about his age and size. He dragged her out of the water and shook her shoulders, hoping that she was still breathing. Slowly, her eyes opened. They were a shocking bluish-grey. She coughed and spit out sea water. She shakily whispered "Wh-where... Am I? What happened?" Italy sighed with relief. She was alive!

"You're on the shores of Italy.... Who are you?" A sudden thought wen through his head. What if she was a country too? "I'm in Italy? You must be him, then... I'm *cough*... I'm Atlantis, the lost country?" He drew back in surprise. Lost country? He had heard of that... The ruins of a floating castle had fallen into the ocean and created her... She was still fairly new! "Can you stand? I'll walk you back to my home... Are you hurt?" As the two walked along the sandy beach, the girl tried to remember what had happened. Why was she here? Why did she wash up on the shores of a foreign country? Surely he would kill her.... But he didn't seem the type. She shrugged off the thought and kept walking, hand in hand with this strangely kind country.
