"We're caught in a trap." The Nations agree to put on a play for the others, a murder mystery. When the victims actually die, they wonder if it isn't just a play. Rated M for character death. Pairings: FrUk and RusAme.

1. Introduction and Casting

Japan silently looked at the paper in his hand.

"Is that the cast list?" America asked, hopefully.

"Hai."

"Great!"

"The casting of our murder mystery is:

Professor Pear – China."

"What kind of a name is that, aru?"

"Peter Churchwell – Sealand."

"Yay! Take that, British jerk!"

"Mr. Arthur Pendragon – England."

"Pendragon?"

"Chef, Francis Powter – France."

"I'm in the play!"

"Miss Katyusha Crosby – Ukraine."

"I'm so happy! Vanya, I'm in the play!"

"That is wonderful, big sister!"

"Mr. Ivan Crosby – Russia."

"Vanya's in it, too!"

"Mr. Alfred Joplin – America."

"Woot!"

"Mr. Matthew Lee – Canada."

"Maple."

"Miss Rowena Armstrong – Belarus."

"How come she gets a character that doesn't have her first name?"

"It's in the script, America." Germany said.

"Mr. Gilbert Rivers – Prussia."

"This play will be awesome!"

"Ai ya!"

"Looks like someone discovered his fate."
