Groaning softly, Lilli rolled out of her bed. Well, not her soft, comfy bed at home, but the rough bed in her room at the HQ. But, hey, a bad bed is better than no bed at all. Sighing, Lilli walked out of her room, pajamas still on and trotted down the stairs. In the kitchen was Kiku, cooking breakfeast.

Blinking wearily, Lilli yawned. Kiku turned and smiled slightly at her, her blond hair a complete mess, and russled pink pajamas.

"Ohayou, Lilli-chan."Kiku greeted.

"Guete Morge Kiku" Lilli said, "Any sign of him?" she asked. Kiku shook his head, his semi-long black locks following his movments. Lilli sighed again.

It had now been 3 1/2 years since her brother, Switzerland, or Vash, had dissapeared into the clutches of Ivan, who was succeeding in his "Everyone Becomes One With Russia" plan. Lilli and a few other unexpected countries still remained, and currently were trying to rescue the others. Lilli still remembered the moment Vash was overcome- like it was yesterday.

"Bruder!" Lilli gasped, running over and kneeling next to Vash, who was bleeding heavily. His breathing came out in a quick, ragged pace.

"Lilli... don't let.. him get you..." Vash suddenly coughed violently, a small amount of blood spweing out.

"Bruder! Don't leave me!" Lilli cried helplessly, staring at the bleeding form of Vash, salty, hot tears running down her cheeks like a waterfall.

Vash smiled weakly, "I will... never leave... you.." He managed, breathing in sharply.

Lilli was speechless, tears landing on Vash's uniform, creating splotches on it.

"Lilli..." Afer that, Vash was reduced to trying to breathe.

Lilli heard footsteps. Turning quickly, she uttered, "Tuet mer Leid..." to Vash before taking off running out of sight. When she was sure she was far enough and behind a large piece of debris, she peeked back. She saw Natalia. Natalia! Lilli was sure she was helping Ivan. She watched Natalia pick Vash up roughly, and promptly walk off.

Lilli sniffled and sunk to her knees. Vash... he was gone... she would never see him again... Lilli closed her eyes and wished that she would wake up, because this was all just a bad nightmare, and Vash would soon shake her awake and comfort her. He would ask what it was about and when she told him he would chuckle lightly and say that would never happen.

"Hey! Hey Kiku! It's Lilli! She's over here!" Briefly, Lilli saw Victoria come into view, Kiku close behind, before she blacked out from exhaustion and stress.

Lilli numbly ate the breakfeast Kiku had fixed, fried eggs and bacon, and went back upstairs and changed into real clothes.

A green coat with gold lining went over a plain white button-down shirt, tight black pants and brown military boots. After brushing her short, pale blond locks, she tied her indigo ribbon in. Blinking her blue-green eyes at her reflection in the vanity, she decieded it was good.

When exiting her room again, she bumped into Victoria in the hallway.

"Oh, Lills. Everyone's in the meeting room, C'mon." The older teen said. Nodding, Lilli fell into step behind Victoria.

Upon getting to the meeting room, or MR, Lilli surveyed to make sure everyone was here. Kiku, Heracles, Lovino, Feliciano, Gilbert, Matthew, Peter, Belle, Jessica, Victoria, and her. Everyone was here.

Gilbert took charge once Lilli and Victoria took their seats.

"Guten Morgen allerseits! " Gilbert began, "Today I was thinking we could start thinking about getting in Ivan's "empire" and actually rescuing some countries!" He said.

Lovino countered, "Are you friking CRAZY! We'd just get trampled!"

"You want to save Antonio, right?" Belle asked, eyes narrowed slightly. Lovino shut up quickly.

"Everyone! Everyone!" Lilli called, taking Gilbert's place in front. She clapped her hands twice, asking for silence. Everyone complied.

"I believe Gilbert is right," Gilbert hand pumped, Lilli paused to roll her eyes slightly, "However, I thought we could do it in a more... cautious manner. I purpose a few of us go undercover into Ivan's territory and try to find out as much as we can. If you happen too stumble upon a fellow nation, take all risks in reason to help or rescue them. All in favor?" She asked, taking a breath.

Slowly, everyone's hands went up. Lilli nodded.

"Alright, but, who will go is our next question." She stated.

Gilbert shot up, "I'm going!" He exclaimed.

Lilli sighed, "I'll have to come with you then." She said, looking at her overexited partner.

"We'll go." Jessica said, her partner Matthew nodding slightly.

Lilli nodded at them,"That will be enough to go." She concluded.

After the meeting, Peter caught Lilli before she left.

"Hey Lilli!" Lilli turned to meet Peter.

"Ja Peter?" Lilli asked polietly.

"I don't want you doing this." He stated rather bluntly.

Lilli blinked, "Why? I must, you know Gil can't be alone in there-" She started but Peter cut her off.

"Jess and Matt are going to be there, and you'll probably get separated anyways!" He said, exasperated.

"Are you saying I can't take care of myself?" Lilli asked angrily.

"What? No! Lilli... you're 17!" Peter cried.

"And you're 15." Lilli stated, glaring venomously, before walking out the door and slamming it.

"Geez, what happened in there?" Gilbert said, coming up next to her.

"Es ist nichts Gil." Lilli said to him. "Better pack, we're leaving tomorrow morning." She looked up at him, blue-green meeting red.

Gilbert sighed, "Verdammit, does this mean I have to get up early? " He muttered to himself, walking off. Lilli giggled.
