Lithuania lay awake in bed. There was a noise coming from upstairs, and it hadn't stopped for about fifteen minutes. It was a scuffling noise, with occasional tiny squeals. He wondered whether it was a mouse or other creature. Should he check? No, it could wait until morning. He turned to his side to get some sleep, when all of a sudden, Latvia's voice broke the silence.

"I don't think that I'll be able to sleep with that noise. I think we should see what it is! Russia wouldn't mind, I don't think."

Estonia sat up in bed, rubbed his eyes and put on his glasses. "Fine. Besides, if nothing else we'll probably be so tired after searching for this noise that we'll fall right asleep when we get back here."

One watching them would be laughing at what they looked like walking upstairs. All three of them were only wearing their boxers, all three held candles, and all of their faces held fearful, worried expressions.


Finally, they reached the second floor. Lithuania listened for the noise at each door. After listening at three doors, when they reached the fourth door, Lithuania heard the noise coming from inside. It was a lot larger than a mouse, whatever it was. And it was inside Russia's bedroom.

Lithuania cracked the door open to make sure that Russia wasn't ready to kill him from inside of it. Ironically, Russia wasn't there. But his coat was on the ground...and it was moving!

A small figure was struggling to escape the confines of the coat, tangling itself up more in the process. Lithuania signaled silently to Estonia and Latvia to pick the coat up. They silently moved over to the figure and shook it out of the coat.

A boy with silvery blond hair tumbled out of the coat, rolling until he reached Lithuania's feet. He looked up at Lithuania curiously. "Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

"Me? My name is Russia!" The boy smiled innocently while the three Baltics gasped.


Estonia spluttered, "But how? How...?"

"Who are you guys anyway?"

Latvia crouched down so that he was eye level with Little Russia. "My name is Latvia. These are my brothers Estonia and Lithuania."

Lithuania added, "For the last time Latvia, we're not your...OW!" The last word was because Estonia stamped hard on his foot. Lithuania got the message. If Russia thought that the trio were related, he might trust all of them.

Russia looked at them all with large, purple, innocent eyes. "Okay. So where am I?"

Latvia answered, "We're at your house. For now, we're going to help you out, da?"

"Da!"

Estonia took Russia by the hand. "For now, you probably should get some sleep. We'll talk more in the morning, da?"

"Da!" Russia giggled. As Russia got into bed, it took all of the male countries all of their willpower not to squeal like fangirls. Because let's face it. Russia is very cute. Chibi Russia's cuteness levels are over 9000!


As the three got into their own beds, all three were thinking the same thing. What will we do with Russia tomorrow?
