"Oh, sweet maple!" I almost yell tom myself, "Please hurry up Mr. Kumachichi" I knew Kuma isn't used to running this long but we're late again. It's allAmerica's fault, He promised we would car pool, but like the last 4 times he forgot me. Ugh when I get my hands on him I'm going to-
I storm into the meeting room, held at Japan's house. Tired and red faced. For a second I'm surprised no one noticed me, or even acknowledged the loud sound of the door slamming open. Though after a confusing moment I read the mood and made my way to my seat quietly.
With me being at least 45 minutes late, I must have missed a lot. No one was talking, but the air spoke for itself being heavy and tense. I slowly sat down in my seat next to America, and eyed him curiously, his hand was on his belt, and his finger carefully caressed his gun. Looking around the room I could see most of the attention was on America and, Russia.
Soon Germany stood up and broke the silence by clearing his throat. It looked like he was struggling to keep his voice down, but still spoke in a carful voice not wanting to upset anyone further. "Ok, ok, let's attempt to return to the original subject of the meeting" He glanced between the two superpowers, "Russia, I think you should take a break."
Russia quickly broke his glare from America to Germany, He was not smiling. I used to think his smile was the scariest thing on earth, I was wrong. His frown deepened and his eyes narrowed. He talked softly but loud enough for all of us to hear. "Is this, how we handle a direct threat to me and my people?" No one dared to answer his question, as for me I still had no idea what my slightly dimwitted brother could have said to anger the man who haunted the dreams of many.
Germany sat back down not having an answer. It was Japan who spoke up next. "It would be devastating to act upon such threats in a violent way. We should find a diplomatic solution or forget about it entirely." With Japan putting it in such a black and white way Russia closed his eyes and sighs heavily.
He reopened his eyes and smiled in a casual way, I involuntarily shivered. "If America apologizes, I'll forget" His smile grew when he saw my brother shaking with hate for the Russian.
England eyed over America before stepping in himself. "America, don't be a child, admit your mistake and let's move on" Though he immediately regretted speaking.
America slammed his hands on the table and stood up. His gun was clenched tightly in his hand. "My mistake?! You don't know what he said to me before this meeting!" He yelled to England "I did nothing! Are you taking his side in this?" America was furious and almost continued his rant before England cut him off.
"America! You know how sensitive the topic of nuclear bombs is!" England shouted back, concern in his voice. I could have sworn I say Japan flinch; he is quite familiar with the outcome of a nuclear strike. So America must have threaten nuclear war against Russia. This honestly would not be the first time, but before it was only joking around, some joke.
Russia stood as well, his pipe falling from his sleeve into his hand. "America, you know you would loss, so let's just put it to rest, da?" Russia tilted his head childishly.
Do not egg him on Russia…" Switzerland warned him. I want to say something as well but I know it would only fall on deaf ears. Man, why can't they just get along? I never have this problem in Canada!
"Is that a threat, from a neutral country? If not then I suggest you keep quiet and find your place, you wouldn't want to put Liechtenstein in danger, would you?" Russia was once again serious. Switzerland narrowed his eyes and brought Liechtenstein closer it him protectively.
"How dare you, you commie son of a bitch" America said with a heavy tone "You should be careful not to irritate the entire world" He sat back down and slouched in his chair. Russia continued to stand, towering over all of us.
I noticed that Russia was not only holding his pipe but also a silver brief case. By the look of it more, and more countries were noticing it to, for a look of ho0rror or worry crossed their face. We all know the purpose for that case. Most of us have one for ourselves, but never would we dare use it as intimidation. It is a devise used to target an area and then launch a nuclear strike.
The Russian finally revealed the case to everyone by lifting it on to the table, and leaning one it. When he had everyone's attention he smiled again and began, "As you all know I have had a resent break through with different types of nuclear weapons, which are yet to be tested." He paused letting the dread sink in. "I dying for a chance to use them." He eyed the room, and even held eye contact with me for a few seconds. I don't know if I should be happy or creeped out.
Germany, now with a new source of rage began to yell finally "I assume you have a motive to your insanity?!" It was easy to tell that he was holding back what he really wanted to say. He probably did this out of fear or maybe because Italy was clenching his arm tightly.
"Da! Your right Germany! I want 2 things." Russia seemed a bit to cheerful to me, "My first request is directed to every nation" I sat up paying more attention now that I was a part of this, as did every other country. "I want all research done on nuclear weapons, and devises. Hm, as well as all new weapon development" Many counties began to protest, but he continued before we could voice our opinion. "My second request is for Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Half of Finland to become one with Russia." He had a deceiving smile. I also noticed the absence of the Baltic trio.
This left many nations looking confused, angry, or surprised. Sweden was by far the scariest person in the room, I mean I know he is protecting Finland, but if looks could kill. Russia was already so huge why would he want more? I shiver softly; I'm so close to Russia. The only real obstacle separating us is Alaska.
Just as I was sure the yelling would start Japan stood up "Meeting dismissed." That simple sentence was like a breath of fresh air. Most of the smaller nation left immediately, even leaving behind papers, and other objects, no doubt Japan would mail it back to them.
I looked around the mostly empty room once more before standing and walking to America who was being scolded by England and France, well mostly England. Getting closer I could hear their hushed voices better.
"Do you have any idea what you just started? You've put us all endanger!" England was breathless and obviously still trying to be the father figure to America. My brother stayed quiet.
"England, it was bound to happen some day you know how much of a psycho Russia is!" France was taking America's side in this. Meanwhile Finland and Sweden had joined the group.
Finland's eyes were fearful, and tear stained. The look on Sweden's face was helplessness. "Russia has gone too far," Sweden began, talking to America, "America, if anything happens, know we are on your side, until the end." With that America gave a curt nod and the two left. England sighed and dragged France away to leave. America stiffly turned to me and said something that sounded like music to my ears.
"Need a ride?"
When I and Kuma got out of the car, America sped off before I could manage a thank you. Kind of disappointed I rushed inside, because it began to rain, and threw myself on to my bed.
They are choosing sides. Last world war we had truly started once we all picked our side or declared neutrality. I'm going to be forced into this like last time. Maybe if Russia is taken out now, before he can hurt anyone, this will all stop! He is really strong, and I don't think my brother would live threw another war with him. I have to do this myself wont I?
With a heavy sigh I rolled to the edge of my bed and sat up, pulling my silver brief case into my lap, I entered my code (1-2-3-4). Opening the case and knowing what I planned to do hurt my heart, but knowing what could happen if I don't, hurt even more. I feel so torn, Russia maybe is bad, but he wasn't really bad was he? Well even if this all goes south I would have saved the Baltic States, and others, also people will notice me finally! I won't be just America's invisible brother.
"Russia deserves to life just as much as I do" I set the coordinates to Moscow, Russia's capital. "He can be a cool person if he wants to," I armed my nuke, " I should just sit back and let the others battle it out, who knows maybe they will just 'forget' about me!" I pressed the launch button.
