"Wait, what the hell do you mean I'm a country again?"
Prussia, once again, had been 'asked' to go to the one the world meetings this time, which meant that his bruder would drag him over to what he considered boredom central and would make him stay still for as long as the meetings lasted. Although, when it came to staying still, after a few tries Germany had decided that the closest thing he could do to make his brother not talk for around 30 minutes was to occasionally make a break so that the energetic nation could get rid of overflowing energy.
As time went on, he had grown used to abundance of meetings ever since Germany had started to try to make it something he could do monthly, but that still didn't mean that these overly long meetings bored the hell out of him, and it never ceased to give him melancholic reminder that he are no longer considered a country. Which was the ultimate reason as to why Prussia never liked these meetings or ever found them necessary.
Yet, as he stood there with his mouth and eyes as wide open as everyone else's, he was being told that he was wrong. He was a nation again. Although, as he looked around with his thoughts going crazy to the idea that he's on the map again, his brother seemed as calm as ever.
"Ja, from what I understand so far," He then located his glasses to read a small sheet of paper nearby. "You are not exactly… Prussia… per say. Due to your nation now residing in an already existent nation, Canada, the official name has been changed to 'New Prussia' but your official name is still the Kingdom of Prussia, so not too much as changed."
Already, even though the murmurs of confusion and questions were in abundance before the explanation, it seemed to have all gone from his new nation to the oddity of hearing the existence of a country large enough to contain another one in it, yet none of them knowing who exactly it was that they were talking about. Prussia, on the other hand, was completely aware of who had given him the second opportunity to be a land once again.
Looking around the rather large meeting room, he figured it would make some sense that he wouldn't be able to find the quiet man. Especially ever since he discovered about his 'disappearing trick'.
Although, before him, or anyone else, could speak up about this surprising revelation, Germany had already begun to speak. "I apologize for the suddenness of this information, but we do not have anymore time to talk about this today. If anyone here has any questions about this that are important, please talk to…" He seemed to struggle to remember who he was talking about. "Yes… well… ehrm… please consult… Canada. Now, as promised at our last meeting, China will now follow up on what he had spoken about last time."
As China complained as he usually did, in his usual manner, the only unusual thing was how caught up Prussia had found himself in his thoughts. He had so many questions through his mind. Why did this information come up now? Even then, that wasn't as important as everything else. Why didn't Canadian tell him all of this himself? It wasn't as if they were strangers, although they could be considered acquaintances at best. What did this mean about his existence? He could barely think straight, and with the meeting only becoming background noise to all of his questions, he could only come up with one thing he could do.
Talk to the nation face to face.
Once the meeting was officially over, the first to leave was Germany and that little Italian of his talking wildly about pasta, with Japan trailing close behind. As a slow and steady stream of people started either leaving the meeting room or coming up to congratulate Prussia, he had kept an eye out for a curled strand of hair and glasses. As he was bombarded by France and Spain in congratulations, consisting of many hugs and high fives, he had thought that he had seen Canada walk by him. Sadly the only thing he was able to spot was his brother America as he started jabbering in England's ear.
Spain had come up behind the distracted Prussian and had wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "Listen, amigo, it's fantastic that you've become a country again. Who would've guess, huh?" The Spaniard gave the other a slap on back, and Prussia had returned the favor with a sharp grin.
"Ah, well, I do congratulate you Gilbert." France had come out from behind the Spaniard in his regular dramatic entrances. "I think it's great that Matthieu would be kind enough as to let you become a country within his own. His kindness takes after me you know." He lightly sweeps a dark blond bang away from his face as he rests a hand on his hips. " I would recommend that you talk to him to make sure everything is settled, of course. Although, as much as I want to celebrate, I must bid adieu my friends." He quickly leaves the room, in what anyone could assume was caused by finding someone who had fancied his tastes.
"I'm sorry as well, but if I don't leave soon, Romano might be mad at me again and I don't want that!" He starts snickering as he leaves the room, "Even if he does end up looking cute." The last thing to be heard was him cooing other 'compliments' about Romano before completely leaving the room.
After a while of updating his blog on his phone and lazing around while trying to stay in the room as long as he was capable of, his patience had started wearing thin, and he was starting to think he wouldn't appear today, but it was only after Russia had stood up to give him a quick, albeit awkward, congratulations and leave the meeting room, was he able to see Canada on the same chair with a look that made Prussia think he had only just then been able to regain breath. His speed to leave the meeting room was incredibly fast, as it appeared that he had been almost jogging, only to stop to adjust something and then continue his speed walk outside.
After getting near the meeting room door, Prussia had more countries notice his own presence which had caused them to start congratulating him as well, as by that time he had completely lost sight of the northern nation. While the last of the countries finished their own compliments to his renewed 'license' as a nation, he had been able to get Gilbird by whistling for him. As the small bird made a new residence in the others silver locks, Prussia could only think about why they don't allow his bird in the meeting room itself yet they can allow him in the building. As well as to how it doesn't make any sense as to why they don't allow pets even though Canada has a god damn polar bear and no one even bats an eyelash about that, not to mention the panda that China always tries to hide in the wicker basket he always has over his back.
He had ended up leaving the hotel where the meeting had been held in defeat and disappointment, believing that he was never going to be able to find the quiet country. Although, he figured he might as well go take a walk or something, think about what he would have to do now that he was a country or something like that anyways. Prussia really did need to ask Canada about what, or at least how, all of this happened and what 'responsibilities' he would have to take because of these new revelations. Of course, it's not like he really ever did too much work as Prussia before, so there shouldn't be that much of a difference, especially since there aren't too many battles to fight as of right now.
Prussia had figured that he might as well go back to his blog while waiting for Germany to come back and pick him up with his car, even though that might take a while since Italy usually drags him off who knows where and he more than likely won't be back for a while. All that Prussia can think about is that he really should get his own car, and house while he's at it.
Gilbird starts to tweet and starts pecking at his forehead, which had made him perk his head up to see what it was that Gilbird had wanted Prussia to pay attention to, which was when he noticed the familiar blonde curl, even if it was moving rather quickly. Before even having time to think, he had started trying to catch up to him, even it meant running, because Prussia completely refuses to lose the chance to talk to him about the world meeting today. Even yelling at him to try to get his attention didn't work, much to his surprise, since he was able get everyone else's yet not Canada's.
As he stopped, what Prussia believed, to admire some of the flower outside the building, it had given him the opportunity to finally be able to catch up to him. He had grabbed the Canadian's shoulder as he tried to regain his breath because it has been a while since he's run, and maybe this is a sign that he should join his brother on one of his training days some time soon. Before Prussia could explain himself and even get any words out of his mouth, Canada had already started talking.
"Um, if you're l-looking for my brother he's probably still around the meeting room." His face seemed to almost change into what seemed to be disappointment and confusion.
"I will never be looking for that un-awesome brother of yours. You are Canada, am I right?" It was a little odd that he would assume that he was looking for his brother, who in Prussia's own taste, was too loud and never had enough of an attention span to be able to even go along with something or someone without making all about himself. Of course, not saying that he himself didn't do that, but America's version of doing it wasn't subtle at all, and he always dragged whoever was nearest to him into the awful situations he would be able to come up.
As the Canadian realized that he was the person that Prussia had wanted to talk to, it was at that moment that he had thought that he had never seen so much joy and surprise on someone's face all at the same time.

So I had decided to update this chapter a bit and fix it since it seemed a little short to me and it didn't flow as smooth as I had originally wanted it to. A few of these earlier chapters should be getting a few tweaks and fixes here and there, so I hope I can fix those in time. For the moment, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and remember to comment and tell me what you liked and if there's anything you think I should improve on! (*´∀`*)
