sighs. "Looking at stars all alone is lonely~"

noticed Italy sitting under a tree and came to accompany him.

turns to China. "Ciao China~ isn't it pretty tonight~?"

nodded, smiling slight. Then he turned to look up. "Wow, I haven't seen this much stars in one place since many years ago aru!" He was awed.

looks up at the night sky filled with stars. "It's really nice~ Not a lot of nights are pretty like tonight~"

squinted his eyes to see better. "Yes aru," he said, gald to have discovered such a place like this. "It's hard to believe that the such-

images exist anymore aru." Oh, how he remembered nights like this with Japan.

nods slowly as he hums. "I usually watch the stars with Japan or Germany but they're not around~ it's really lonely~". his smile drops a-.

little.

thought that Italy might be a little different than he believed. He pointed to the moon. "The rabbit's making medicine on there right now!"

instantly looks to where China was pointing. "What? what rabbit? where? ve~"

"The moon aru," China propped his head up by his hand.

looks at the moon, he tilts his head to the side. "but...I don't see a rabbit~". he frowns in disappoint.

patted Italy reassuringly. "Don't worry, it's an ancient Chinese tale," he smiled, remembering it fondly.

looks to China. "Really?~ can you tell me it? i like hearing stories~"

joins Italy and China. "Awesomely awesome view isn't it?"

"Ve~ Prussia~ you came just in time~". he smiles.

"Alright aru," he cleared his throat, trying to remember it. "long, long ago, back when I was still young, there was a woman who live in-

the heavens with her husband. But one day, when the Jade emperor's ten sons transformed into suns, it was too much to handle. So the emperor

summoned the husband, named Hou Yi, for help. However, Hou Yi, who was also an archer, shot down all but one of the sons, the emperor was

obviously not pleased. As punishment, they were kicked out down to earth, where they were praised as heroes. However, Chang'e, the wife, was

extremely burdened by the loss of immortality, so her husband went to see a Queen in the West, who gave him the elixir of immortality.

The queen mentioned that one would only need half of the bottle for immortality aru." he stopped, trying to remember.

had been listening intently. he looks at China in awe "Wow~ that story is so cool~ ve~"

(cows learned that myth sometime ago and seriously had to rack up brains xD)

(pftt)

then snapped his hands excitedly. "Oh, after that, the archer brought it home and told his wife not to open it, but she didn't listen aru.

gasps. "Then what happened?~"

Then as Hou Yi returned home, she grew so nervous that she swallowed the whole of the elixir, which sent her flying to the moon aru.

Hou Yi wanted to shoot her down but he couldn't bare to. There, the rabbit was making medicine on the moon aru." he paused, sighing.

"Ve~ That sounds really sad to me~"

"Yeah... it's not the happiest folktale there is aru," he looked up at the stars once more.

hums looking back to the sky.

"Pretty~"

closed his eyes, feeling the night air. "I hope there will come more days like this aru,"

nods his head, agreeing with China. "That would be very nice~"

nodded, listening to Italy's hums, and, slowly, fell asleep under the blinking stars.

continues to hum softly, a melody that seemed to suit the moment.

sure he will be having dreams tonight.
