SORRY ABOUT THE LATENESS! I had a lot of homework this week. And I'd like to give a shout out to my new beta reader XStrawberryDuckFeathersX ,she's been doing a great job so far and I am very thankful for it.

Everything about the first volume of my diary looked familiar. I remembered when I wrote this entry. The memory came back as if it had never been missing. I wrote the entry when I was working for Hungary. He kept ordering me around, and whenever I did what he said only awesomer he'd yell at me for some reason.
The memories of that came back to me easily. I remembered how fun those times were. I was such a cute kid! But it was only the memories of my time with Hungary that came back to me while reading that one. After I regained all my memories from that time, I closed the volume and skipped the next few volumes, so that I could go to a different section of my life.
The next volume I picked up had entries about my little brother, Holy Roman Empire's death. Although what I had written wasn't very specific, I could see the images in my head. I remembered finding my younger brother's corpse in the middle of the battle field. And I recalled who'd done it, France. I remembered finding my other little brother too. The one that was identical to Holy Roman Empire, and would one day grow up into the stiff person from the picture, Germany. Or as I call him, West. I remembered raising West and him growing up to be a strong country.
I didn't need to look into my awesome diary anymore. The memories just kept coming from where they had been buried. It was like some wall in my mind keeping me from my memories had broken down, and all of my recollections were coming back to my mind all at once. I had the same headache I had before, but I gritted my teeth and bore with it. Pain is a small price to pay for regaining my life and all that I had forgotten.
I remembered going to war against Austria with the help of Spain and France. I remembered the pansy look on his face as we invaded. And I remembered retreat- no, letting them off the hook, after Hungary came into the fight. I wasn't scared or anything. I just didn't feel like finishing the battle at the time.
I remembered how West met Italy. (He was in a tomato box right?) And how the Axis Powers got formed. Italy and Japan were the other embers of the group. The picture of us that I had seen was an Axis group picture that I had snuck my way into.
I remembered how Canada introduced me to maple syrup and how awesome it is. Especially when it's the real stuff.
It didn't take long for me to regain all of my memories. That is, except one. I couldn't remember how I lost my memories. I remembered going to the World Conference Meeting. And that Canada hadn't gotten there yet. He was late. All of the other countries were there, but none of them other than me noticed the Canadian's absence. I had wondered where he was. The door to the room opened, and I had thought that Canada finally had gotten there. (But I doubt that was the case.) Then nothing. The next thing I remembered was waking up in the hospital with no clue who I was.
That's so messed up! The one memory I really wanted didn't come back! Great now how will I find out who caused my amnesia?! So not awesome! "Verdammt!" Why'd that have to be the one hole in my memory?! That put a damper on my mood.
In the six months after Prussia got his memories back, he and Canada started their search for the other nations, using the World Conference building as their base. Whenever one of them found a possibility of finding a nation, one would contact the other and they would meet there. These things were too important to be talked about on the phone. It was quite an efficient way of doing things.
In that time, the duo found two personifications. Both were in Italy, but different parts. One was found in South Italy and the other was found in North Italy, to be precise, Rome.
The first unmindful nation the two found was Kiku Honda (Japan). Prussia found Japan in Rome taking pictures of everything in sight. Prussia was able to talk to him and fill him in on the situation. The Japanese man was reluctant to believe him at first. But when Prussia showed him a couple of pictures he was able to convince Japan. The island nation regained his memories by seeing the World Conference room. He works in charge of their intelligence.
They found another country two months later. Lovino Vargas (Romano/ Southern Italy). Canada had found the tomato-lover at a super market, in the produce section. The Italian had been loading his shopping basket with his favorite red fruit when Canada saw him. After Canada told him everything, Lovino cussed in his face and stormed out of the store muttering about how Matthew was almost as annoying as Germans. He never was convinced until he regained his memories. He got them back after taking a short trip to Spain. (The place, not the person, sadly.) In the group one of his many goals, although he will never admit it out loud, is to find Antonio. He also wants to find his little brother Feliciano (Northern Italy).
Although both of those two had regained their memories they had the same problem as Prussia. They could not recall how they lost their memories. Their memories cut off at different parts, but all within 5 minutes of the door to the Conference room opening. Hinting that whoever had came in through that door had to be the culprit.
The group of four had just called a meeting in the World Conference room. Which meant one thing. One of them had a lead about the lost nations.
Japan had just gotten off the elevator and was heading to the conference room. Although nobody would be able to tell from his face, he was very eager to tell the others about his discovery. When he entered the room, he found that it was empty. Which was no surprise considering that Kiku had come early. Japan sat down in his normal seat and waited for the others to arrive. He couldn't help but reminisce about the old meetings that they used to have in there, before all of this happened. Like the time when America proposed the idea to genetically engineer a giant hero to protect the planet from global warming. Or how Britain and France had always argued about things. And how Greece never stayed awake for one meeting. When would meetings proceed like they used to? Japan looked forward to that day.
Japan didn't notice that Canada had arrived in the room while he had been thinking. But it wasn't his spacing out that was at fault for that, Canada hadn't even tried to make himself known. The only one that noticed him was his polar bear that he brought with him. "Who are you?" It asked the blond.
"I'm Canada, your owner," Matthew said sounding upset for not being recognized.
Romano was the next to arrive. "So what is this meeting about bastard? It better not be a dead end like last time." He asked as he took his seat.
"We should wait for Pussia-san to arrive before I explain it." Japan told him. "And I don't think that this one is a dead end." So the three of them waited for Prussia to come in. Seconds passed by turning into minutes which soon became an hour. Romano was getting inpatient. Didn't that bastard realize they were all waiting on him?! If you're going to come at all it should at least be on time!
"Where the hell is that damn bastard?! He's holding up the meeting!" He really wanted to know what Japan had to say. Maybe he had found they tomato bastard or his idiot brother. "Just tell us already!" Romano snapped.
Japan was about to reply when the door to the Conference room opened. "The awesome me has arrived!" Prussia said as he walked in. "Your lives just got awesomer." He sat down in a random seat and asked, "So what's up Japan?"
The Asian answered with another question. "Did any of you see the news yesterday?"
"The awesome me had better things to do." Prussia said, "What about the news?"
Japan sighed. He would have to explain all of it. "There was a segment on a wonder child who won 3 science awards in the past 7 months."
"What does that have to do with us?" Romano scoffed as he rolled his eyes. Why should they care about some wonder child? It's not like he knows where the others are. So why bother with it?
"I think he's Finland," Japan bluntly stated.
"One of the Nordic countries?" Canada asked.
Japan nodded, "Hai. When I saw the picture on the news I recognized him. But I am not sure because I have only seen him once or twice during the World meetings." Kiku seemed to not be completely sure of himself, but his expressions can be hard to read. "According to the news, he just showed up out of nowhere 8 months ago. And he has been showing his intelligence nonstop since then." Although it hadn't sounded convincing at first, the last fact seemed like proof. 8 months ago. That was the same time that all the nations had gone missing except for Canada. It wasn't a coincidence that he had shown up then. "He doesn't go by his human name, Tino Väinämöinen, but not all of us knew our humans names when we had amnesia." He glanced at Prussia. "So it is a good chance that it's him."
"Then let's go see him!" Romano said, "How are we supposed to know if we don't check?!" He had a very good point. All of this guess work could be avoided in one trip.
"When do you want to leave?" Japan asked.
"Right now! The sooner the better!" Prussia said. He might be a drunkard, but when it comes to investigating leads he works really hard. Gilbert was making good of his promise to Matthew and dropped everything when there was a chance of finding one of their companions, or enemies depending on which country it was. He never explained why to Romano and Japan though. Maybe he thought he was too awesome to talk about things as "unawesome" as a promise.
"Alright," Canada said. "Let's leave right now."
Sorry for the shortness. My beta reader said it'd be better if the chapters were shorter so their not as intimidating. The next chapter will be up in 3 days at most. I have it written out and I just need to type it. What do you guys think about the time skip? Was it to soon to do that? And I changed it to third person because it was supposed to be third person from the beginning but I changed it so you could understand the situation better. I put in Finland being smart cause I did some research and Finland has the best education in the world. Ciao~
