Deadlocked.

That's what they are at the moment. They can't decide what to do.

Rather, they can't decide on what to do first.

It's a complete toss up between escaping, and trying to get Spain and Romano back to their time.

They still need to find the key, which isn't where it's supposed to be, according to Italy.

England needs to get his magic back in order to get the lost two back, not to mention his sight..

Right now, Russia and China left to go to the Annexe, for some reason, so they can't help make a decision at the moment. What they are doing, no one knows, besides them.

So far, the only good news is that Italy is in fact alive, something happened though, no one is quite sure what. Germany says his he couldn't find a pulse before. Japan did, later though, so it might have been cardiac arrest..

Something heart related, that much they know for sure, and the Thing had something to do with it, no doubt, just what, though..

That's the mystery.

At the moment, France, Canada, America, and England have moved to the table, throwing ideas back and forth amongst themselves. It isn't going very well though, but the problem isn't that they can't agree.

The problem is that they don't know how.

They've already agreed that England getting his magic back is top priority, because, if he can get it back, then they can get Spain and Romano back, plain and simple. There is a catch, England isn't sure if there's any lumps of magic left, he's certain they've all been found already. America insists there has to some around somewhere. Hidden in a book, behind a cabinet, under one of the beds, anywhere! There has to be one or two somewhere!

At this point England has to remind America that, with the amount of magic usually in them, and what is needed to open a portal to the past would take five, six, even seven lumps of magic.

Don't get him wrong, America would like to get them back just as much as the next nation there, however, he's assuming that one or two of those magic lumps will fix..

His mistake. He's the reason England is blind now.. If he wasn't so hardheaded, then England would be fine right now..

This seems to be more of America and England going back and forth on this, while France and Canada watch and listen from the sidelines.

They want to help, Canada especially, but is there anything he can do that could help at all? He knows he can at the very least try, but, really, what to do in a situation like this? Or right now, anyway..

And then France, who has been silently watching the three, deep in thought, over a few little things.

Like what Prussia told himself and Spain about before, a voice that seemed familiar, but couldn't place.

And Angleterre… Poor, poor Angleterre.. He's always cared so much for America, always, that kind of compassion can stand the test of time itself. He can understand that very much..

He still.. adores Jeanne d'Arc with all might might.

"Angleterre, Amérique, you two should just hug instead of argue, it would do you both some good, I think, but that's my opinion."

Leaning back in his chair, staring at the debating two, but catches a worried glance from his Mathieu, but he doesn't need to worry, he knows what he's saying, they are both so stubborn though.. Let's see if they hear his words or not.

"It's also my opinion that you two stop bickering about what to do right now, it's not getting us anywhere at the moment. Everyone is deadlocked, and since there's so much to do, no one can decide where to start first." Pausing, to take a breath, and to make sure what he says next won't set either one off. At least, he hopes it won't, "America.. I really want England to get his sight back too, I'm not sure how to, though.. And England, you always worry over America, no matter what, you silly Monty Python." Chuckling a bit, he still has to be careful sure, but he hopes to lighten up their situation, even slightly. "Only concentrating on what's wrong will only bring out the worst, with that being said.. "

"America, England, Mathieu, once we all get out of here, what is the first thing you're going to do?"

Canada, a.k.a Mathieu, was a bit surprised France brought him into this, he thought he was doing a good job on his own, the other two have stayed silent and seemed to have truly listened to what he has to say.

"Oh Canada?~ Are you in there, I asked you to go first~" Asked the most flirtatious nation in that room., in a non-flirtatious, completely lighthearted manner.

"Oh.. Um.. Well, anything would be fine, really, maybe.. I don't know, see a movie? Maybe a comedy .. Or just a fun movie, I've been told Wreck-It Ralph is good. Or even re-read a book, walk around a park, see all of the trees and wildlife. There's almost too much good things to look forward too once we're all out." The more he talked about it, the happier he felt, it wasn't much, but it's plan making, something to look forward too, besides the sleepover at Japans place of course. He misses his country, his home, so much—

"Too tight Mattie!" Cried one little polar bear, all of these thoughts of home made him hug little Kumajirou too tight, by accident.

"! I'm sorry Kuma.." Says the Canadian, loosening the hug for him, he forgot he was still holding him, poor little thing..

But Kuma is just happy he heard him, leaning back to look up at him, he gently paws Canada's nose, for seemingly no reason other than to be adorable.

France is so amused by this, he leans over to the bear and tickles under his chin. An old weak spot of Kumajirou's, which never fails to have one of his legs kicking. Which makes the Frenchman chuckle some more, he's simply that cute of a polar bear.

During this, America and England have been listening..

But only one can see what's going on..

Making sure to keep his voice down, so he doesn't distract France, Canada, or Kumajirou, he fills England in on what exactly is going on.

"After he loosened the hug for Kuma, he just started pawing at his nose.. France isn't helping, he's scratching his chin right now.. Cute little cub, always stealing the show, huh England?"

The Englishman in question had closed his eyes at some point, propping an arm up on the table, so he can cradle his head, it's very ungentlemanly to put elbows on a table.. But since this is far from normal circumstances, some rule breaking can be forgiven, for now, anyway.

"Mhm.. It sounds like someone else I know.. Two actually, one is.. A Cheesy sock monkey." England accidentally pauses, stifling a yawn.. He should rest, but he doesn't want to, just in case something comes up, he will be awake for it, you can bet your top hat he will be.

".. And the other..? Say.. Do you want to rest at all, maybe.. It will do you some good." Since France already pointed out what he wanted.. And is one hundred percent on it.. He'd rather not say it a loud though.. He's still so very, very sorry..

".. The other bugger.. Will not win the House cup this year, so.. He shouldn't even bother." He can form a very tired, worn smirk in slight amusement.

"Dude.. We're totally going to win, we've been practicing all year." Even though England can't see it, America brightened at the reference.

And all the while, France, Canada, and Kumajirou have been watching them, they're happy they are really talking again, and making those references again.

All thanks to the cheesy sock monkey, with some help from Mathieu and Kumajirou of course.

I do not own Hetalia, HetaOni, Harry Potter, or Monty Python, they belong to their respective creators.

The only reason I brought Kuma into the story is for cuteness, and he should be there, and not an attack. He's an actual character in HetaHazard, I want to give him a little light here too. ;w;

*Edit- Forgot they were called lumps, not globs, my bad. ;w;''''
