It was about a week later when I heard a knock on the door. I grabbed my lead pipe scared that it was going to be Belarus. When I looked out the peep hole I saw Germany, and he was holding a giant sunflower! I smiled wondering how he figured out that I liked I opened the door Germany was shivering, he was dressed warm enough for Russia. I hurried him in, and went to grab a blanket.

"Danke." Germany said nervously hiding the sunflower. "I um got this for you Russia." He handed me the sunflower, and I have him a real small smile. "Thank you Germany.

~Germany

I couldn't believe it. I got a smile from Russia! All because I gave him a sunflower. I had asked Lithuania what Russia's favorite flower was, and he told me a sunflower. I had laughed about the choice. It's almost always snowing in Russia, so it's interesting about the choice. "I was worried when I didn't see you again." Russia smiled again as I shivered. It really was very cold in Russia.

"I left the meet up, because I had things to do." Russia was lying I could see it in his eyes. I smiled back at him trying to find out why Russia was lying to me.

~Russia

I didn't really know what to say. Germany just came over unexpectedly. "So um Germany you want something to drink da?" I was hoping a glass of vodka would make things less tense.

"Um… Ja that sounds nice right now." I could tell he felt the weird tension as well. I went and got both of us a glass of my favorite vodka. Skoal vodka, Russia's finest vodka! I handed Germany his glass and sat the bottle of vodka down going to get my own glass. Germany took a sip and gave me a questioning look.

"It's Skoal vodka, best vodka in my opinion." Germany nod and I gulped down half the glass. "So um… Germany what have you been up to? Haven't seen you since…" I paused trying not to think of Stalingrad. "Yeah um… just trying to fix something's, Italy's boss hates me even though it's been a few years… of course most countries still hate me." I could hear the sadness in his voice, I knew exactly how Germany felt. America is still upset about the cold war.

"W-well I don't hate you Germany!" I was telling the truth, I really wish I could be friends with Germany. Germany's old boss might have tricked mine, but that doesn't mean Germany will do that. I feel like Germany can be a great friend. We both have hard pasts, our countries still have anger against both our former bosses, and we both like to drink. "So Germany, why the sudden wanting to talk?"

Germany finished his vodka, pouring more before responding. "To tell you the truth Russia, I want to be friends. Not political alliances, but friends. Person, to person." I couldn't respond I didn't exactly know how to. All I could do was nod
