"Alright then, lets get down to business." Germany said, standing at the podium at the front of the room, "First things first-"

"Germany, I have a question."

Germany growled, "Yes, America, what is it?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, I as just thinking-"

"Good for you, I'm so proud."

"Shut up Canada. Anyway, I was just thinking that this is a meeting for Nations right?" America said.

"Brilliant deduction Sherlock." Canada said dryly.

"Lad, don't you insult Sherlock Holmes in front of me again." England warned.

"Sorry Arthur." Canada said.

"Can I get back to my point!" America shouted, "Anyway, if this is a meeting for Nations, then why is Prussia here?"

Instantly, every eye in the room zeroed in on the albino ex-Nation sitting in between Canada and Spain (too close to Canada in America's opinion). Said albino grinned at everyone, "Fools, I'm here because I'm awesome."

Germany sighed, "Bruder, please not this again." he said, then addressed the rest of the room, "Prussia is here because I can't leave him at home unattended."

Prussia huffed, "That's not the reason I'm here and you know it Ludwig."

Germany rolled his eyes, "It seems pretty logical to me."

Prussia growled, "What was that, kleiner Bruder? [little brother]"

Germany huffed, "What do you mean 'little' brother, I'm bigger than you are." he said.

"I'm still older than you." Prussia pointed out.

"Sometimes I wonder." Germany said dryly.

"Hey, watch your mouth." Prussia growled, "Don't disrespect me, I'm your older brother."

"Or what? Are you going to put me in a timeout?" Germany said, rolling his eyes.

"Don't tempt me." Prussia said.

"Oh like you'd even try." Germany spat.

Fed up, Prussia stood, grabbing hold of a random chair and stomping over to the taller German. Before Germany could react, Prussia grabbed hold of his ear, twisting and yanking him over toward a corner.

"Aua! Bruder, das tut weh! [Brother, that hurts!]" Germany yelled.

Prussia ignored his protests and spun the chair to face the corner, then yanked Germany around to sit in the chair, "Jetzt bleibst du dort und denkst darüber nach, was du getan hast! [Now you stay there and think about what you did!]" he yelled.

Germany growled and turned to stand, but was frozen in place by the look his elder brother was giving him. It was the same look he seen as a child when he'd done something bad and Prussia saw fit to put him in a timeout as punishment. It was preposterous that he do the same here, as an adult, but the child in him involuntarily recognized Prussia as a higher authority, and if he tried to disobey he would be in even bigger trouble, even though he was an adult and being in trouble with your elder brother didn't amount to as much as it did when you were a child.

Slowly, Germany turned back around and sat down in the chair. Prussia huffed and turned on his heel, stalking over to his seat and plopping down into like he hadn't just put his younger, but much bigger and very much so adult, brother in a timeout as though he were a child. Prussia glared at the people staring.

"Anyone else have any questions?" he growled.

Everyone coughed and began shuffling their papers. It would be a long time before anyone would question the reason Prussia still attended the meeting.

Author Commentary; My mother actually inspired this one.

"I don't care how old you are, I'll still turn you over my knee if you misbehave."

I didn't want to do anything with spanking (too many people would take it the wrong way), so I decided to do something with timeouts instead. I used Germany and Prussia because I thought it would be funnier if the smaller Prussia put the big, gruff Germany in his place for once. Hope you liked it.

Oh yeah, and my German isn't good at all. I know some words, but that's about it. If you find any problems in my German sentences, feel free to tell me.

Edit; Thanks to feanen for correcting my German.
