Chapter 1

Meeting, held today in Munich, began, as always, a little late. It would seem that there is nothing complicated about to arrive on time for meetings, especially such an important, but not worth it to exclude such factors as traffic congestion and the delay of the aircraft: could anyone miss.

At this time, two late: Russia and Japan. And if the second can be understood: the remoteness of Germany from Japan, airports, littered with snow, and a lot of problems on this background, the delay of the first was completely incomprehensible, especially since Anna arrived at the conference in advance, and she could only get from the hotel to the hall meeting.

Finally, too late for ten minutes, appeared at the door Honda and immediately apologized profusely and assurances that this will not happen again.

- Well, as you can? - The first could not stand America - This Braginsky did not reckon with us. Fifteen minutes of my precious time wasted!

- What are you, Alfred, - Francis reproachfully looked at the guy sitting two chairs away from him, - Anna, though the country, mais elle est fille *, and therefore has the right to linger.

- Anything that does not mean - dissatisfied said England - this time, Jones is right. Once...

- Excuse me, please - gently knocked on the door, and then appeared in the doorway Russia - I'm a little bit late.

- Oh, ma chère **, you did something happen? You look like a tired look, - said worriedly Bonnefoy.

Braginsky really looked sick. In a dark turtleneck, tightly covered the neck and hands, pale, with bruises under her eyes, she gave the impression of an absolutely unhealthy person.

- Yes, Francis, have a little - with a smile she replied, - only the headaches.

Nodding to the rest, Russia quickly went back to her place at the opposite end of the table door.

- Well. Now that we finally all came together - Ludwig looked expressively hesitate Anna - a conference can begin. And the first item on the agenda - climate change. Everyone knows how negative weather events affect us and the well-being of our people. Today, a report on this subject are the Italy and Canada.

Hurriedly waving hands and raking in a bunch more folders with documents, Feliciano asked Matthew to help with the presentation, while he began his speech.

- This year, we all had to face the problem of global climate change. Trying to withstand the elements alone...

Judging by how proudly looked at the speaker Vargas Kiku; it became clear who wrote it usually uncollected Italian. In other matters, the report was surprisingly interesting, so no one noticed that America is quickly tossed the note in England.

How you doing, Artie? You do not feel sick after yesterday? Personally, I now barely got out of bed.

The answer was not long in coming.

What do you think? I'm still not good. And anyway, you would do well to listen to the report of Italy and Canada.

Well, England. What could be more boring than the joint work of my brother and this Italian bummer? I've long since figured out who wrote to him about. It is better to tell you the evening went to the old scenario: drunk, offended by the whole world and decided on a terrible revenge by some ancient brew?

Kirkland was about to write whatever he thinks of deductive abilities of America, but did not.

- God, Russia, what's wrong? - Frightened cry Williams made everyone turn around.

Anna, from the beginning of the meeting without saying a word, awkward leaned against the back of his chair and was livid.

- Nothing serious, Matthew, just dizzy... - Braginsky fainted, without even having to finish.

Frozen for a second ice sculptures, not saying a word the country rushed to Anna.

- Rather, to shift Russia-san on the couch - excitedly advised Honda.

- And the open window, I read that falling into a swoon, people need fresh air - added Francis.

- To you reading - Arthur chuckled, but obediently went to the window and opened it. Fresh gust of cold air swept across the spacious room, played with the papers on the table, and finally got to the small sofa, on which Germany and America put the girl.

- We cannot continue without Russia - rightly said Ludwig, when the country moved to the negotiating table - in the end, it's not a gentleman - to leave the lady in distress - he added, looking fixedly at the ready to rebel England.

- But how? - Italy seemed to be concerned about more than anyone else - that the state fell into a swoon, was bound to happen that something very serious.

- What are you talking about all the small stuff! - Snapped England - What we have just talked about? The weather! The climate is changing, are magnetic storms, that there are any excesses. It could happen to anyone.

- But Feliciano rights - suddenly stood up for the Italian Bonnefoy - atmospheric pressure has nothing to do with it. The last time I saw Anna in this state only after the collapse of the USSR. I cannot even think that was the reason for this fainting.

- Look - America, until the last moment thoughtlessly paced the room suddenly went to lay motionless girl - it seemed to me, or she really comes to life?

Germany rapid step toward the couch. In fact, everything went wrong, as planned. Latency meeting late Kiku and Anna, and now the poor health of the latter. Whatever it was, he was the host and was obliged to arrange everything on the highest level, and now he will still be seen glances of other countries. And Russia, which really must admit, it was a pity.

While Ludwig indulged in gloomy meditation, it pushed France and once Braginsky opened her eyes, asked sympathetically.

- Comment allez-vous, ma chère?***

- Très bien. Merci pour vos bons soins, monsieur Francis. ****, - The girl replied with a smile, looking around the room distracted gaze. Suddenly, she began gazing out to Canada and America, - Monsieur, qui sont ces jeunes? *****

*** fr. How is your health, my dear?

**** fr. Fine. Thank you for your concern, sir Francis.
