Russia and Latvia were at Russia's home, waiting for the arrival of a new friend.
"Are you excited to meet the genderbend version of Ukraine?" Latvia asked Russia.
Russia thought for a moment and answered, "Yes, I can't wait. I always wanted an older brother."
Latvia couldn't stop himself from adding, "Your sisters ARE quite scary. Then again, so are you."
The room suddenly went cold. "You think I'm scary, Latvia?" Russia inquired creepily. Latvia gulped.
The intense moment was interrupted by a strange noise coming from outside.
"It's... a bouncing sound?" Latvia guessed. "But... isn't Ukraine's MALE counterpart coming?"
"Hellooooooo! Russia! Are you theeeere?" Some knocking and... definitely a man's voice.
"That's definitely Ukraine's male counterpart," Russia thought aloud.
"But if it's a man, then... what's bouncing?" Latvia wondered.
Russia went to answer the door. He opened it, and there was male Ukraine, smiling!
"Hello, little brother!" he greeted cheerily.
Russia and Latvia took a moment to look him over.
First the head... smiling, a windswept mop of short, light hair.
Their eyes moved downward... average farmer garb, wide, muscular chest. That's not where the bouncing was coming from.
Their eyes moved downward still... and both at once, Latvia and Russia realized...
"!"
Their screams were heard for miles.
What strange people, Ukraine thought.
