Hey you guys! Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have favorited and put a story alert on this. I'm glad that people are enjoying this story.

Okay, so unless for some reason you haven't watched Heta-Oni, this is from Episode 11, second part. Just below is a summarization of that episode (Is it really? Read! X3) and my own writing. The Italics is from the episode/Prussia's memory, and the regular font is his own thinking. Just in case some of you haven't realized, this fanfic began on Episode 12, when the countries fall asleep, etc. I hope you understand how I made the format of this chapter, if not, just message me or review and I'll explain. The '...' parts are parts of the episode I choose to not write, but I hope you still understand. I chose not to put so much 'accents' in this chapter, like Japan's way of not saying 'l' or China's 'aru', but I did do that for Prussia's and Germany's parts, but again hopefully you'll still be able to comprehend it all.

I think the perfect song for this chapter is Dance 'Round the Memory Tree by Oren Lavie. If you read below, you'll understand why I think this is a perfect song for this. I hope it isn't too confusing. Now, after this extremely long Author's Note, enjoy the chapter!

"Congratulations! Congralutions!"

Terentia's giggling and cheery repeating words were echoing around Prussia's head as he followed the other countries up the stairs.

Verdammt… vhat the hell is this voice?

… Vhy am I the only one who can hear Terentia like this? Prussia wondered, not sure if it was him in the dream or just him in the past thinking these words…

...

"Oh, I know!" America's always cheerful face appeared.

"Wh-what? What are you talking about?" Canada whispered, looking at his brother in a suspicious manner.

"Let's form an alliance! A testimony of our new bond, without any relation to the Allies or the Axis or even the neutral nations, but to all of us who are here!" Prussia grinned in an approving manner. "Ooh, sounds interesting, I approve." He said, feeling glad a resolution could be made between him and the countries before him.

Japan nodded in agreement. "I am of the same opinion as America. Let's do it." He turned his head to the Italians. "Did we form an alliance before?" He asked. The South Italian shook his head. "No, not as far as I know. … I approve too."

Prussia quickly noticed when North Italy didn't agree with his brother that no, they hadn't made an alliance before. Maybe he didn't hear? Prussia thought as he turned his attention elsewhere...

Germany looked thoughtful as he began to list off the statements that should be in the alliance. "Hmm. Vell, first of all… believe in one another. Help one another. Rely on one another. Also, escape all together… That's all!"

The present Prussia beamed at his younger brother's words. So blunt, Prussia thought with a certain pride.

America smiled as he looked down at the paper before him. "There! Now we just have to sign it."

A thick Russian accent rang out as Prussia looked down to the table. "Sorry, I'm really going to put a wet blanket on it, but we're nations, and we're arbitrarily to form an alliance with so many nations… It doesn't feel right…"

A familiar British face wore a frown as he spoke. "But our signatures will only be valid inside this house, right?"

"Yes, that's the problem, forming an alliance here. I mean, we don't know who might get their hands on it…" The Russian man argued, a neutral look on his face. "We'll leave it in this strange place where God-knows-who might see it…"

Prussia stayed silent as his brother agreed with the Russian man.

Italy's face had a downcast look as he uttered the next words. "So, we really can't make an alliance…"

Russia assured the others that he would love to make the alliance, but they had to think of the nations they bore on their shoulders.

France and Japan agreed that they too would like to form an alliance, but… to be just human for once…

"Japan?" The North Italian said, worry in his golden eyes as he looked at the Japanese man, because his words had suddenly faltered.

The Japanese man's face suddenly lit up as a brilliant thought came to his mind. "I have an idea. Let's form an alliance, not as nations, but as humans!"

Prussia got confused, staring at the Japanese man. "As humans? Vhat do you mean?"

Japan nodded, "Let's sign this paper as the humans we are now. In other words, we could come up with human names for ourselves and sign with them…" The Canadian nodded in agreement, smiling as he reasoned with Japan's words.

The South Italian looked to his brother for agreement, and the other was clearly ecstatic. "Yes, I approve! If we do that, we can form an alliance!" North Italy beamed at his brother and at Germany. Prussia smiled at the scene, as he realized it reminded him of memories long ago…

As he turned his attention away, Prussia looked at the countries around him as they began to say names. "Alfred F. Jones!" "Matthew Williams." "Wang Yao."

Prussia beamed as he let the others know his 'human' name. "Gilbert Beilschmidt! How's that?" Pretty awesome, huh?" He said, scratching the paper with the pen, and passed the paper down, letting the others say their names and sign too.

Prussia chuckled at himself, before the grin left as a new thought entered his mind. How was it that Terentia knew our names? He thought, watching quietly as his memory passed by.

The countries began to accidently mix up their names, and Prussia chuckled at the ridiculous names North Italy came up with, trying to remember Germany's 'human' name. "Lutz! That's hilarious! It makes him sound like a completely different guy! Right, Lutz?" Germany looked at his brother in exasperation.

"Can you please stop smirking and taunting me?" The German replied, as the Russian began to chuckle at the awkwardness. "This is pretty awkward… but I'm sure that these names will never change, no matter what."

Canada smiled as he spoke. "That's right. With this, even after we get out of this house, we can still continue to be bound to this alliance as humans…" Japan nodded and continued to check the document, accidently offending the British man by calling him the wrong name when he asked Japan what was wrong with it.

Prussia laughed, "That's the second time he got your name wrong!" He was about to continue when a sharp pain hit his stomach. "Ow, my stomach hurts!" Prussia said, grabbing his abdomen. Ignoring his brother, Germany rolled his eyes as he watched the countries around him.

"I'm surrounded by children." He muttered, crossing his arms. The North Italian nodded, before talking. "But you know…" The German turned to look at Italy, as he continued talking. "It's been so long since it was this noisy and fun~ … This is fun, isn't it, Louis?" Prussia waited for Germany to correct Italy on his name, but was surprised to hear him agree with him. "Yes, it is." Germany said softly, smiling.

Prussia smiled at them, but then-

A silent gasp left his mouth as another sharp pain hit him. Germany looked away from the North Italian to see Prussia's pained face. Concern touched his icy blue eyes as he asked his Prussian brother what was wrong. Prussia didn't want to alarm him, so quickly lied about what was disturbing him. "Hm? Oh… nothing. I'll go take a bath. I guess I'm a little tired." Prussia said, trying to not let the pain show on his face. Germany nodded, before turning back to talk to Italy.

Prussia nodded to himself before stiffly walking to the bathroom, noticing as France and Spain gave him confused looks. He ignored them, and once stepping inside, quickly closed the bathroom door behind him.

Once the door was closed, Prussia dropped the act.

He let out a shuddered gasp as he grabbed at his chest. Vhat the hell? My heart shouldn't be beating this fast… Prussia thought, before a realization came to him. Am I going to die?

A growl escaped is lips as he thought this. "Verdammt! Vell, fuck it! As if I'd let myself die!" He whispered, a second later giving out a groan as the pain in his heart got stronger.

"I still have to protect my people… and my brother!" He said out loud, but he already felt his consciousness getting weaker.

Prussia grimaced as he clawed at his heart, wondering why it was beating so fast.

Why does it hurt so much, Prussia thought painfully as he started to gasp for air. He leaned against the doorway, trying to find some kind of support for his weakening body. Why do I feel so… dead?

What? This isn't my memory… no, where is Japan? Prussia realized, red eyes widening in surprise. He is supposed to knock on the door by now, to tell me about the other countries arguing about the sleeping arrangements, Prussia thought. He observed in panic as he saw himself fall to the ground.

As a weak breath left his parted lips, Prussia fell to the ground, feeling worse than ever before. "Oh gott… vhy?" Prussia muttered softly, before letting out a yelp of pain.

Prussia shook his head, not wanting to believe what was happening. How can this be? He thought, watching himself give out silent screams, twisting and twitching in pain as it began to spread from Prussia's heart to his whole body.

Suddenly, a blinding light appeared in the bathroom, and Prussia listened in shock as Terentia's voice hit his mind.

"Prussia, I told you before… I'm sorry. If I had a choice, I wouldn't kill you"

The Prussian man shook his head, clearly seeing something else that wasn't there. "You… it can't be…" He said, looking into the light. "T-terentia..." He gave the light a weak smile, as if she was standing in it. "I'm G-gilbert now." He said softly, his voice sounding painful.

"No, Prussia… it's over." Terentia whispered softly.

A vision flashed before Prussia's eyes, and he watched as Terentia, with tears falling down her face, stabbed the Prussian voo-doo doll with a needle, right in the heart.

Prussia gave out a gasp as he watched himself give out a final cry and suddenly just stop moving. As he watched, for some reason he began to feel empty inside. Prussia leaned over himself, looking into his red eyes as the light in them began to fade away.

"I never thought I'd see her again…" Prussia happily thought weakly, before allowing the darkness to take him.


A loud clang met his ears, and with panic Prussia sat up, taking short breathes as he looked around the misty bathroom. As he began to breathe normally, he remembered that he had taken refuge in the bathroom, to think for a while.

Prussia had accidently fallen asleep, as he realized a second later. Prussia thought aloud, "Vhat vas that...?", before looking down to see his rusty sword on the floor. I guess it must have fallen to the ground, Prussia thought with relief. That would explain that clang from before, Prussia rationalized as he stood up from the creaky bench. But… he rubbed at his chest, right where his heart was.

"It vas so real…" He said out loud, looking up at the foggy ceiling. And I know it wasn't just a dream… it was a memory, wasn't it?

Somehow, Prussia knew that it had actually happened. Maybe it was just a dream, but it was too real and too realistic for Prussia's liking. I know I have heard that voice before… and my past self just confirmed it.

"But… who is she? How is it that I know her? Vhat loop vas that?" Prussia thought out loud, staring at his sword.

As he thought, he finaly just shook his head. "No, I can't vorry about this right now..." With a determined look, Prussia swiftly picked up his sword and placed it in his scabbard.

I need to tell England what Terentia just told me*… and my memory.

Prussia walked out of the bathroom, and marched over to where England was, ready to tell him what had happened.

The '*' is from the last chapter, just in case you forgot. X3 Confused? Don't be, I'll reveal all of this as the story goes on. I hope you liked it, and review please! I must know your thoughts. I will try to update as soon as I can. Okay, well bye-bye lovies!
