After some convincing, a lot of avoiding questions, and some pushing, Prussia was able to get Canada onto a train leading who knows where. Prussia was being very persistent on keeping where they were going a secret. The two sat side by side on the train. Canada was looking out the window quietly, watching as trees and buildings passed. It wasn't long before any signs of civilization soon disappeared, and the train was whipping through farmland and country.

A bit of time passed, before Canada felt someone elbow him gently. He glanced over to see Prussia staring at him expectantly.

"So, mind telling me where we're going, yet?" Canada asked. When Prussia merely grinned at him, chuckling slightly, he sighed, "You know, this might be considered kidnapping." he pointed out softly.

Prussia rolled his eyes, "You agreed to it. Therefore it's not kidnapping!" he said.

Canada blinked at Prussia. Well, it had been worth a try. The Canadian figured it would probably be useless trying to get Prussia to talk, knowing how stubborn he could be. It would probably be in his best interests to just try to enjoy himself.

Meanwhile, Kumajirou was on the seat opposite to them staring out the window, his paws pressed up against the glass. It had been a hassle getting the polar bear on the train, but as countries, they had certain perks that could allow them to get away with stuff like that. Also maybe it was combined with the fact the cub could talk.

"Alright, alright," the Canadian said, offering a weak smile at Prussia, who seemed quite happy with him finally giving in, "I suppose I can go along with wherever you're taking me, eh. But can you at least tell me what country we're going to?" Because they were taking the train, it was obvious wherever they were going was far away, or at least in a different country. This year's World Meeting had been in France.

Prussia looked at Canada, almost surprised. "Vhy, Deutschland of course!" he replied proudly, "Only zeh best for my depressed Canadian friend," he said humorously. Prussia heard Canada let out a little scoff, which meant he was succeeding in lifting his spirits. Obviously, Canada wasn't depressed, just stressed, but being around Prussia often lead to exaggerations.

The train made a little jerking motion, causing the polar bear cub to lose his footing and fall backwards onto his butt. He blinked a little in confusion, before getting up, and walking back over to Canada, curling up in his lap.

Canada smiled, petting Kumajirou's head. Then a thought occurred to him. "Um, Prussia. Are you sure we should have left so soon? I'm not sure if where we're going with allow Kamajiji." Canada pointed out. At the mention of something that resembled its name, the polar bear flicked its white ear, not really acknowledging the two countries.

For a moment, something flashed behind Prussia's smile. Maybe confusion? Canada wasn't sure. Then the albino merely shrugged. "Of course zhey vill. Especially if you're vith zeh awesome me!" he finished with a boisterous laugh, likely capturing the attention of the people sitting behind them.

Canada remained skeptical, despite Prussia's confidence. Maybe he could drop the polar bear off somewhere. But where? He probably should have thought this through before he was dragged onto the train. Granted, he hadn't been given much time to think about it, but still.

"So.. um, Prussia," Canada said, rubbing Kumajirou's ears, much to the happiness of the polar bear. Admittedly, it had been a while since the two nations had been able to talk, "How have you been lately? You seem happy."

"Vhy vouldn't I be? I'm zeh awesome Prussia! Things have been great for me. Just peachy, you know," Prussia exclaimed, wrapping an arm nonchalantly around Canada. The timid nation raised an eyebrow at Prussia, but didn't say much. That was how Prussia, was, after all. Over flamboyant and… expressive.

As the train pelted on, Prussia noticed that Canada had gone quiet again, not to mention Kumajirou had fallen asleep, so he decided to add to his previous statement, gently shaking the blonde country.

"West has been pretty stressed out lately, too. I tried giving him the same treatment I'm giving you, but he's so stubborn," Prussia said.

Canada couldn't help but let out a small laugh. So, the two brothers did have something in common.

"Vhat? Where do you think he learned it from," Prussia added, seeing the amusement light up in Canada's eyes. He couldn't help but grin. Prussia some how seemed to be contagious when it came to happiness, as the German always radiated a feel of flamboyant excitement.

As the two's conversations started to move on and get more relaxed, with Canada already beginning to forget some of his own stress, Kumajirous was beginning to grow bored. The polar bear cub opened one eye, staring up at his owner. He flicked an ear, stretching, and getting up. This jarred Canada's talk with Prussia, as he looked down at the cub with mild surprise.

Nonchalantly, Kumajirou walked from Canada's lap, over to Prussia's, laying down, and closing his eyes. Long train rides like this one tended to make the polar bear rowdy, so he had a tendency to move a lot.

Prussia blinked, then grinned, and started aggressively petting the small white cub, much to Kumajirou's annoyance, "So, you came to join me, huh? You have good tastes, kesesese!" he exclaimed. Kumajirou tilted his head somewhat, folding his ears back. Maybe he had made a bad decision by changing seats.

Canada tried his best to hold back a laugh, smirking at he scene that lay before him. It was kind of unusual to see Kumajirou sit on anyone that wasn't himself, especially when that anyone was Prussia. Seeing the agitated look on Kuma's face made it all the more worth while.

After a bit of holding back laughter, Canada tapped Prussia on the shoulder, "Ah, maybe you should stop. Kasajihou doesn't look like he likes that," he commented, pointing to the ruffled polar bear.

Looking down at the bear, Prussia paused. The two heard the small creature let out a sigh of relief.

Canada decided to pick Kumajirou back up, placing him back in his own lap. The two then continued their casual conversation as the train continued on its way. And still, Canada remained completely clueless as to where they were going.


Eyy. This was finished a lot sooner. Not sure what the purpose of this chapter was. Probably to provide a sturdier bond between Prussia and Canada. Man, writing this was hella awkward. I tried my best not to make anyone out of character.

I also tried my best not to forget Kuma was there.

As for those of you who have only watched the anime, and not read the manga, Canada frequently spells Kuma's name wrong.

Also, you guys have no idea how badly I wanted to call Kuma a girl. I have to constantly remind myself that he is a boy. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the latest chapter. ;)
