Today has included a tragic event I'd like to share with you all.
You see, having been ill for a few days, coming back to it all wasn't all too easy. However, the first two hours back progressed fairly standardly. Of course, Italy, having not seen me four days, was on my trail like a hound dog and would not shut up (something to do with accidental discoveries of bedroom matters between Greece and Japan- I tried my best to NOT listen here, art and of course, pasta. Typical). However, being at home alone for the past four days (and having to experience the loss at Eurovision. Damn! I thought the beanie hat would guarantee victory!) had made me almost miss the chatter (note the use of ALMOST), and I actually didn't tell him to shut up too much.
Well, things got rather odd during first break. France was oddly delighted to see me, and had even brought a gift.
I was suspicious at first. It was France, after all. But then let the curiosity take over and accepted his present.
I was not disappointed.
He had gotten me a potato.
I was so happy I almost cried.
Italy came over to see why I was tearing up, and then proceeded to party. It was beautiful.
BUT, THEN...
Japan seemed oddly interested in the potato. He requested to take a look at it, and knowing the usually dependable guy he was, I ended up giving it to him.
Big mistake.
After break was nearly over, I demanded to get my present back. But it was to no avail. Ireland had stolen it, and refused to give it back.
This.
Meant.
War.
Italy, for some strange reason did not run away, and curiously made his way to my side. He had decided to be my ally against the thieves. Good. 'Awesome', even, as East would say.
Through strange circumstances, it turned out to be Italy who actually snatched the potato back, only to throw it at me as Ireland took after him full pelt. I caught it, and Ireland swiftly latched his body onto me, wrestling for the root.
"NEIN, BITCH. DAS IST MEIN KARTOFFEL!" I yelled, holding my ground.
As Ireland attempted to frantically get the potato back by taking cheap shots at my vital regions, a rescue came from an unlikely source.
France.
I've never been so happy to see the pervert.
He quickly took the potato for safe keeping and ran off with it, and actually managed to get away from Ireland. He returned it to me after we had gotten to a safe place, and honestly, I've never been happier than to have reunited with it.
I stuffed the potato into my pocket, and went off to my next activity, thinking that it would be safe.
I was more or less right, until lunchtime.
I decided to make my way to the library for a light snack and some reading; plans which were ruined by Italy hopping over and wrapping my body into a tight embrace. A catcall from nearby alerted the presence of France, who had decided to stay in the library for the break with Spain. I swear to Gott I felt another presence nearby, but there was seemingly nobody there. Oh well.
I took out my potato, wondering what I should do with it (I ended up deciding to create mashed potatoes with it, if I'd had the chance). As I took it out, I was immediately tackled to the ground by Ireland, who was trying to, yet again, theif the potato from my grasp.
I threw it to Italy, who threw it to France, who threw it to Spain.
It was like a game of hot potato. Literally.
Spain was almost knocked out cold, but, unfortunately ended up losing the potato to Ireland, who took off with it.
It was returned to me, half an hour later, but it had been slitted to unrecognisable damage, and drawn on by pink highlighter.
I broke down in front of everyone, face in palm.
I'd just like to take a moment of silence for my potato gift. I have no idea where France had attained it from, or why he had decided to give it to me, but I had... Attached to the thing. It had been my potato, which had been stolen, and broken.
Rest in pieces, sweet, sweet kartoffel.
Rest in pieces.
/and that is a usual day for my hetalia groupies at school.

actually got me a potato and everything. I was so sad when it died 8'(
