Description
(England: Yeh… aaaghhhh…)
Germany: Seriously, I caught him a couple blocks away from here. Are you guys sure you're ok?

Romano: Oh, thanks a million, why not next time just stab me in the chest with a spatula!!
(Italy: Uhhhh…)

Germany: How many times have I told you two to talk to me first before you try anything like this, because you'd probably screw it up without me? It's too late now and I'm left cleaning up your mess.

(Romano: Ahh ah ah ah AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH!!!!!)
Germany: We're going to have to start your training over from scratch. But this time I can't treat you like little babies. Th—would you shut up while I'm talking?!

Germany: Ok, first thing's first. You have to know what to do in case you are ever captured or in danger of being c—

Italy: But I don't wanna die!

Germany: Stop interrupting!!

England: Yah!

Mice: (squeak squeak)

England: Ahh… ugh… finally. I let Germany capture me last time, but he better watch out because I won't be so easily fooled again. That's no good at all. My clothes look like I just dug a tunnel with my hands, teeth, and the help of some friendly mice.

Howard: Britain, is that you?!
(England: Ah?!)

England: Show yourself, but be warned; if you try to stop my escape you'll get a sound thrashing!

Howard: A thrashing for free?! That sounds jolly! Good to see ye I'm from Aberdeen, Scotland! I'm studying espionage here in Rome with a minor in 14th century hair design! They like to call me Howard the Spy!!

[From Aberdeen
Howard the Spy]

England: You're the worst spy I've ever seen!!

England: Hetalia!

England: Seriously, what's the deal with all of this? The British way of doing things doesn't work in Italy; in fact, it just gets you caught.

Howard: They found you right after you broke out of jail the first time, didn't they, Britain? It was kind of hard for me the first year or two, but then I got wise and decided to go all Italian. Since I'm a spy on duty right now, I can't leave the country, but I certainly don't mind helping you get across the border safely.

(bling bling)

England's thoughts: I can't believe it was my clothes and shoes giving me away. These Italians and their flashy style! I have to give it to them. Kinda feels good to look nice for a change! I might even start getting drunk at noon and flatulate publicly.
Ahh, this is the life. It is so much more fun than arguing about the next cricket roster for the ICC World Cup while drinking warm beer around ugly women. Seriously!
Mhmhm! Germany doesn't even notice me now. And look how stupid he looks! He's wearing steel blue wool in the summer! Tragic. Well now that I'm super slick, I can slide over the border whenever I want, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to do a little more shopping in order to stock up for the fall.

Pretty Woman: You know, I think the guys around here just get hotter every year!

[Pretty woman]

[Super pretty woman]

[Amazingly pretty woman]

England: Mhmhmhmhmhm!

Germany: Hetalia!

Narrator: It was prophesied that the apocalypse would come in the year 1000 AD. Kind of like Y2K without all the computers. So, everyone in Europe at that time was a little on edge.

[In 1000 AD, it was rumored that the Last Judgment would happen that year. So Europe, well, though just partially, was filled with confusion.]

Old Lady: Huaaaaah!

Man: Ahhhhh!
Man 2: Ahhhh!!!

France: AAHHHH! Judgment! I don't want to die; I'm too cute to die!! Aaaahhh! What am I going to do? I am French; I am definitely being sent to Hell! Wahahahah!

Austria: Are you worried about dying?

Hungary: I just recently converted to Christianity so I don't get all the fuss, but I'm sure they'll teach me to freak out soon enough.

[Hungary changed religions in 1000]

France: I have done terrible, horrible, unforgivable things, like the invention of the guillotine and respecting mimes! Ahh!
Hey you over there, don't move!

England: What's the deal with him? Ah!

France: WAH! I've been trying to crush you since time began and now I'm going to do it!!
(England: Uwawawa…!)

England: Get your hands off of me, you fool!
(France: Geh! Gehhuh!)

France: But the world is going to end and I'll have failed if I don't make you my slaaave! Wahahahaaaah!

England: The world's going to end?!?!

France: We should stay like this. Me riding on top of your back until the world crashes down around us. Is that… too much for one man to dream of?

England: Well, if you're really set on it, I suppose I can take it since it's not going to be for very much longer.

France: Ohonhonhonhonhon. Honhonhonhon. Ohonhonhon…
England: Ahahahahaha! Aha! Ahahaha!

Narrator: However, the year 1000 AD came… and nothing happened. Nothing at all.
(France: Ohonhonhon…)
(England: Ahahahaha…)

(England: Ah!)
France: Seriously?!

England: You're kidding, right?!

Cow: Moo!

Narrator: Flash forward to when we partied like it was 1999 because it was.

[And then the year was 1999]

Japan: The writings of Nostradamus predicted that the world would cease to exist in 1999.

France: The end of the world. Wow. That really brings back memories.

England: I wouldn't worry if I were you. The end of the world is never going to happen.

Japan: Is that so? I should tell someone. Hold on, please.

Germany: What did you say?!?!?!

Japan: It's not going to end.

[Deeply touched]

Translations
• ICC world cup: The ICC stands for International Cricket Council, which was founded in 1909. There have been various international championships, including a one-time appearance as an Olympic sport, but there wasn't a "world cup" until 1975. Australia has won the most World Cups, with 5 victories. England has never won. The 2019 WC is going on in the UK as of me writing this (6/24)! How fun!
• Y2K: The Year 2000 problem, or Y2K bug, was an issue in which computers misprinted the year, since when using only the final two digits, 1900 and 2000 were indistinguishable. It caused a few issues, such as false alarm at a Japanese nuclear power plant, Bulgarian documents being printed with expiration dates 2/29/05 and 2/29/10 (dates that don't exist), and the US Naval Observatory listing the year as 19100. As was to be expected, people predicted that the malfunction of a few machines would be proof of the upcoming apocalypse.
• End of the World: 1000 years after the birth of Jesus is a very convenient year to assume the world was going to end. Judgment Day would have been pretty good for some, but quite bad for others, and people did what they could to repent in what little time they had left. When the year passed and nothing happened, people hypothesized that 1002, '04, or '33 was the true year of reckoning, but most people didn't give it much more thought. That's what is commonly believed, but in truth the story is a bit different. Europe wasn't using the Gregorian calendar yet, so any year was viable for apocalyptic panic, not just 999. Later writings, mainly those by Jules Michelet, painted the picture of terror that we know of today.
• Hungary just converted: The first Christian Hungarian king was Vajk, who assumed the name Stephen after his baptism. He became king in 1000, and the Christianization of the country wasn't complete until his death in 1038, so any biblical panic that was taking place would not have reached Hungary.
• Nostradamus predicts a different end: Nostradamus predicted a lot of things apparently, but most of that is because he had to write cryptically and through puns during his life. He "predicted" the end of the world in July 1999, and people compared the kings of terror and reigns of Mars to China and the Yugoslav Wars, respectively.
• Deeply touched: In Japanese, rather than stating that he should tell someone that the world isn't ending, Japan is frustrated that England and France did not provide the shocked response that he was expecting. Therefore, he is touched when Germany does freak out.
