Nico: Hi again! I've been pretty busy with studying for some tests. So updates might be slower than the first arc, until I have more time on my hands.

Who has seen HetaOni? I'll be truthful, I was questionable about it at first. Then after watching it, I got so excited about it. At first the creepy music was freaky, but I soon got used to it. It's so sad, and packed full with suspense! I hear the next episode is coming out late December, but since I can't read Japanese, it'll probably be after New Years before I can see it with English subtitles.

Anyway, on to the the new chapter!

I DO NOT OWN HETALIA AXIS POWERS!

Movement

Austria-Hungary

"Good job, Ms. Luca!" Elizaveta smiled.

"Really?" Farahilde was a bit unsure of the situation. She had just told Elizaveta and Roderich that she had allied Austria-Hungary with Germany. It was also a lucky thing. After discussing with Adelheid, they had realized their objectives differed entirely, which will prevent any "bad" things happening later on.

"Very, Ms. Luca," Roderich smiled from his piano seat. "Now that we are allied with my cousin, we will be able to claim Serbia and fight off Russia."

"Oh, that reminds me, where are your troops?" Farahilde asked. She remembered Elizaveta telling that they had 7,000(1) troops.

"They are outside," Roderich said interrupting Farahilde once again. "Their boots were already muddy, and I am not going to allow them in the house with such revolting footwear." The aristocrat in Roderich began to shine.

"We should probably plan out our attack plans," Elizaveta said taking out the objectives and a map. "Looks like our major concerns are Balkans, Serbia, and Tyrol. There's also Mediterranean Sea, but that's the second of the first three."

"If you don't mind me saying, I think we should send out most of the troops into Serbia," Farahilde said. Farahilde was still getting used to speaking to the two nations, although they had long gotten used to her.

"I see, would you care to explain?" Roderich asked.

"Well, the war started between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia, somehow, the rest of Europe and beyond got intertwined in our dispute. At the very least, should we not resolve the main spark of war(2)?" Farahilde explained.

"Ah, I see!" Roderich said. "Ms. Luca has a point, the war started with us, and we should take high responsibility in finishing it. In order to do that, we must conclude the conflict between us and our stubborn neighbours."

"So how does this sound?" Elizaveta started. "We send in 6,000 of our troops to Serbia, and keep 1,000 back here?"

"6-6,000? That's a good majority of our troops. It will be very risky, Elizaveta," Roderich said. "What if our troops staying here are unable to protect our people?"

"Then I will stay with the troops here, and you can go to Serbia," Elizaveta proclaimed.

"Hm... that is a good idea," Farahilde said. "Since Elizaveta is stronger, she should stay behind and watch over, while Roderich goes to invade Serbia with the troops. You could say, like the wife staying at home and taking care of the house and the husband going out to work?"

"It is true," Roderich pondered for a moment. "But Serbia is the country of the Black Hand, who killed my archduke(3)."

"Our archduke, Roderich," Elizaveta placed a hand on Roderich's shoulder. "I am also torn by the loss of the archduke and archduchess. However, we cannot allow ourselves to stay depressed! We must stand back up. This was originally our war with Serbia, and we will show them that we still intend to win!"

"Elizaveta..." Roderich said breathlessly at his "wife". A smile replaced his astonished face, "Farahilde, my jacket if you please. I'm going to Serbia."

"Yes sir!" Farahilde dashed off.

While the troops were frantically getting ready outside, Roderich stood confidently on his porch. He was soon accompanied by Elizaveta's presence. Farahilde was also about to join them, but soon ducked back into the house.

Elizaveta gave her "husband" a kiss on the cheek, and whispered. "Come home safe."

"I will," Roderich smiled back then turned to be on his way to Serbia.

"If you see Prussia make sure you hit him on the head for me!" Elizaveta added.

All these years, Elizaveta, and still...? Roderich thought and chuckled; relieved she did not hear.

Nico: I almost want to cry... I am going through a crisis between pairings. I really agree with Austria and Hungary together, because they were "married" before. They also show a lot of care towards each other in the manga and in the anime.

But recently I began thinking about Prussia and Hungary. I didn't realize it until I watched this skit about the Austrian Succession (which led to "It's a small world after all" playing), Prussia may in fact have a crush on Hungary. I really felt for Prussia, as I am the empathetic type. I still agree with Austria and Hungary, but Prussia...

I think I might end up writing a story about it one day (probably after this arc is done maybe?)

For first time Hetalia readers:

-I got nothing...

Notes:

1. Originally, in the game the troop numbers were a thousand times less than what they are now. (e.g. Austria-Hungary in the game started with 7 troops) I imagined in a real war situation, that would be actually really bad. So I gave them a couple zeroes, to make them larger.

2 and 3. There are many theories of how exactly The Great War started. One of the most popular ones (the one I learned in History class) was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, by the Black Hand, a terrorist group from Serbia.

...no Translations...

So anyone out there who plays Sims 2? I know there's Sims 3, but I have a Sims 2 deluxe, with Hetalia character mods! I haven't played it once... My laptop can't play Sims without freezing whenever I create a new family. My parents' computer works, but the game takes up so much space, and it makes their computer slow, and they do their work on the computer...

I'm hoping that when Christmas comes, Santa (or Finland) will gift to me a computer... or a new DS that won't keep turning off on its own... computer first though.

Speaking about Christmas, I'm planning something special for Diplomacyfor Christmas time.

One more thing, if there are any Reborn fans reading, who are also reading my story Requiem of Rain I put up a poll on my profile, to determine the ending of the story. Please vote for you favourite ending!
