It all started at the bar. Germany and Austria had gone out drinking to help the former get over his latest stresses that resulted from dealing with Spain and Greece. Austria was not opposed to the idea, as he could hold more alcohol than Germany could* and was not one who got drunk very often.
The bar was very crowded. Austria swore he could smell a hellish combination of alcohol, cigarettes, sweat, perfume, and armpits. Nevertheless, he and Germany sat on stools and ordered some good German beer.
After several beers, Germany looked at his friend with a face that meant he wanted a challenge. "Is something wrong Germany?" Austria asked, violet eyes filled with concern. "I want you to strip!" The German said cheekily, his face becoming red like cherries.
Strip!? Austria was generally opposed to nudity, unless duty called at such events like the Life Ball** or to seduce Hungary. "I can't do it, I feel it's... it's... not dignified. I think you like your nudity laws a bit too much." He was flushing red, becoming pouty after drinking so much. He tried to clear these thoughts with another beer.
Both men would later come to regret the dare.
The Austrian felt tipsy, yet he started smiling. He really was unpredictable when he drank too much, as he could dance one second, strip a second later, or throw whatever was in his hand at others. He made a silly face at Germany as he THREW his car keys at him, causing a nasty bruise to his face***. The bartender was getting annoyed and told the spectacled man, "Go home dummkopf! You are drunk!"
Much to the horror of everyone at the bar, Austria STRIPPED. The police were called over to arrest him, but he got very angry. When he was nude in public, he would lash out at anyone who questioned him. So he punched a nearby officer in the face quite roughly and made a run for it.
The scene of a naked Austrian trying to invade the police vehicle would forever be seared into the memories of innocent bystanders. Austria was outrunning them, and soon more officers arrived. Germany was already in handcuffs and had to be escorted in a seperate car to the police station. Several more officers arrived, and after ten minutes of fighting, Austria was finally defeated by the police.
The next morning, Austria was surprised to find himself in the police station. He noticed Germany in the same cell as him and asked in a soft voice, "Why are we in the police station? What did we do wrong?" The German answered with, "Apparently I dared you to strip, but you drank in refusal. You got drunk and threw car keys at me before you stripped naked, punched an officer, and ran off. Then you tried what I think was invade the police car and got restrained by several officers. As a result, you got charged with public indecency and the assault of a policeman."
The Austrian was stunned. "All of that because you dared me to strip?" His tone was now filling with rage, and Marizell uncurled and made split-ends. "THE INDIGNITY OF IT ALL!" He shouted, causing all activity to cease.
In the end, both men were sentenced to community service and Austria got a year-long travel ban from Germany. He learned an important lesson. Never drink with a stressed Germany.
-Notes-
*In a report by the state news agency in Austria, it turns out Austrians drink more than Germans and have a higher alcohol tolerance.
**Europe's largest charity event for people with AIDS is held annually in Vienna. People can come dressed according to the theme of the ball, and some show a lot of skin. I recommend eye bleach when searching with Google Images.
***I based the plot on a news stroy I saw on deviantART. An Austrian guy gets drunk and hurt another guy by throwing keys at him. The police were called over, and the Austrian stripped before trying to invade the police car. We all know what happened at the end.
Too bad this is anonymous because I would definitely be stalking you on the meme. And I agree with the other reader, the detail about the split-in was a nice touch!! Gave the story that extra oomph.
