*Crying loudly* I MISSED THIS STORY SO MUCH! *sobs* I swear I've been writting this through December despite what I said! And the saddest thing is I had it done last week and wanted to offer it as a Christmas present to you guys...but, unfortunately due to the time of year, my beta hasn't been able to edit it at all! So, since I was so determined to get it out before New Years, I edited it myself again in hopes I might get my final mistakes covered...sorry if I didn't.

So yes, this is the ultimate chapter you've all been waiting for! Dun dun duuun! I hope you all enjoy it! :)

"Each time you're kind and enouraging,"-Anonyomous

How could this have happened? Prussia thought in panic as he rushed down the street, his eyes darting around for any signs of Limey. It wasn't even ten past eight in the morning when he had started his search. He knew when he woke up early that morning that something was wrong, but he tried convincing himself otherwise and forced himself to sleep longer till eight.

He still couldn't believe that Limey was gone. He knew the cat hated him but…he never thought it would ever leave him.

"West! West!"

"Bruder?"

"West! You've got to help me!"

"What? What is it?"

"It's Limey! He's gone!"

"I'm sure he's around here somewhere-"

"He's not! I've searched everywhere in the basement! I lock my door at night! There's no way he could have escaped upstairs!"

"Then there's no way he could have escaped bruder,"

"…Nein…I…I left the window open last night…"

"Bruder, he is a small cat. There is no way he could have made it up that high-"

"But he did! I even found a path he could have taken up! He's gone! You have to help me find him!"

Germany hadn't gone with him into the streets to search for the missing cat, but Gilbert was sure Ludwig was calling someone to help…hopefully. Limey…where did you go? Where could you go? Do you even realize how dangerous it is out here? Prussia froze at the thought. Mein Gott…what if he gets hurt like he did when I first found him? I have to find him now! Gilbert took off at such a speed that pedestrians might have thought he was an Olympic Gold medallist for his speed.

~oOo~

Where…am I? England questioned quietly as he walked down a dark ally, tail between his hind legs. I thought I knew my way around Berlin…I guess only with a car…and a taxi driver…how could I have gotten so lost? I swear this was the way back to the streets Arthur looked around nervously at his dark surroundings.

When he had started out, he felt confident of where he was going. But as he continued on, his turns became guesses, and soon he became hopelessly lost. M-Maybe I should have…no, I made the right decision to leave. I have to get home. No one said this was going to be easy. Come now Arthur, you can do this England took in a deep breath and started on his way again. It always gets darker before the light…right? He questioned as he went further and further down the alleyway. Of course he was extremely grateful that there was no one jumping out of anywhere and trying to kill him but…that didn't mean that he was less scared.

Arthur looked up when he felt a heavy rain drop on his head. Oh you've got to be kidding me He cursed as another drop fell, followed by another one. Come on chap, you're a nation full of rain; there's nothing to be afraid of. Just find some shelter England nodded to himself before hiding under the flap of an upright cardboard box.

Five minutes later the rain came pouring down heavily and Arthur shivered whenever the wind blew the rain at him. He yawned and laid down. You've been up most of the night, there's no harm in resting for a while He convinced himself. His heavy eyelids drifted shut and he fell into a deep slumber. His dream turned into a familiar repeat of the dream he had the day before, but now continuing where he had left of.

"Have fun with that!" America answered with a smile.

"And what about me?" A voice asked. England frowned. The voice was from behind, but for some reason he didn't turn around to answer. He knew, but didn't, who it was.

"What about you?"

"If you're changing things, what are you going to change about us?"

…Change…about…us?

"Nothing,"

"Why not? We have fun,"

"Stupid fun, you don't even know who I am." Arthur turned around to face the other, green eyes meeting red. Prussia looked at him with a frown.

"Do I need to for me to care for you? For me to want to protect you?" He asked. England opened his mouth before closing it in thought.

"It's not the same. All decent people care and protect their pets." He answered.

"Did you ever think I thought of you as more than a pet? Not every pet has a mind of its own you know. Did you ever think I thought of you as my small fuzzy companion? A friend?" Gilbert asked while putting his hands on his hips.

"But I'm changed now! I'm not your cat anymore!" Arthur countered, tears in his eyes for unknown reasons. He wanted to be normal, he wanted to be human again, and yet he felt unloved and uncared for because of it.

"I don't care. Cat or human, you're still the same person to me. Do you think I really care what you look like? Do you really think of me like that?" England looked down at his feet embarrassed.

"…A little…can't blame me…you're so bloody narsisstic…" Prussia laughed before giving a warm smile.

"I have no nation, no people of my own, I live off my brother, I'm barely surviving, and no one knows who I really am anymore. Do you really think that under my outward act I'm narsisstic? I do what I can to show others I'm okay. That doesn't mean that's who I am. You of all people should know that." He answered. Arthur nodded.

"I guess so…"

"Besides, you should also know, I'm never as people expect me."

"How would I of all people know that?" England questioned skeptically.

"Well, you were there at Waterloo weren't you?" Prussia questioned with a grin. Arthur paused as he thought.

"Oh yes…I know what you're referring to now…we thought that after France attacked you at Ligne that we were alone in the battle. Well, alone as in, just us and those working under our Duke." England said with a nod.

"Ja, but we came when you thought we wouldn't. We came when you were near the end, didn't we? We won the war together, though I don't think people really think of me when they think of that battle, only you and Franny." Prussia smiled. England was silent for a moment.

"Gilbert…can I ask you a question?"

"Ja,"

"I…know that you aren't real…none of this is real but…I have to know…even though whatever you say isn't true because it's all from my mind, but…are you…looking for me?" He asked. Gilbert thought about it for a moment before smiling.

"What do you think?"

Arthur stirred violently as a giant gust of wind pushed him into the box, and what felt like a bucket load of water crashing down on him. He gave a startled cry before sitting miserably in the rain, shivering often from the cold.

I want to go home He sniffed as he looked at the ground miserably. He didn't care if it was his home, or Germany's, he just wanted to be somewhere warm and familiar. If I don't keep moving, I'll die out here Arthur reminded himself as he stood and began walking again, wishing every moment that Prussia would find him.

Time passed by slowly, and England wandered through endless allies before reaching the crowded streets again. He was beyond grateful for finding human beings, though he knew none of them would stop and help him. Keeping to the wall, he followed along the sidewalk, not exactly knowing where he was going.

As time went on, fewer people were on the streets, and after being splashed by a car driving over a puddle, Arthur retreated back to an ally until the rain would cease. He curled up against one of the walls and laid down, watching the street longingly, and remembering a time he walked down them just complaining about going to a meeting. How stupid of me to complain about such a stupid thing He scrutinized.

He couldn't help but let his mind wander…thinking of times he took for granted, and of what he would do if Prussia found him. I wonder if he's actually looking for me…knowing him, he probably is…won't find me here though… He didn't know why that upset him more than he expected.

"You came,"

"Of course I did, you didn't really think they defeat the Great Kingdom of Prussia did you?"

He sighed. His dream was right. He had felt similar at Waterloo…they were about to be defeated by France, and Prussia was the decision between life and death. At the time, they didn't even know where Prussia was. But they came, when they least expected it. I only wish it was as simple as that now… Arthur sighed and let out a pitiful whine.

"…Limey?" England's head snapped up as if he heard a nearby gunshot. P-Prussia? He questioned confused and slightly dazed from just coming out of his thoughts. He waited a moment, but his name wasn't called again. His heart sank. I guess it really was too good to be true…

"Limey!" A voice suddenly exclaimed and England looked up at the entrance of the ally to see Prussia looking at him in a mixture of disbelief, shock, and relief. England couldn't stop himself from crying out to the albino. Gilbert! Prussia knelt down as Arthur ran at him at full speed and caught him when he jumped at him.

"Limey! Oh danke Gott you're alright," Gilbert thanked as he squished his cat against his chest lovingly. For once, Arthur didn't care, he just cared that he wasn't lost anymore…and perhaps something else. I promise I'll wait until you take me back to England before leaving next time, I swear! Just take me back with you! He cried, burying his head into the other's wet jacket.

"Here, you must be freezing!" Prussia exclaimed as he opened his jacket and covered England over with half of it. Arthur snuggled closer as he felt himself give a big shiver, making himself even colder. He looked up curious when he heard a sniff coming from the Prussian. Gilbert used the hand that wasn't supporting England up with to wipe at his eyes, tears going down his pale cheeks. Prussia, are you…crying? Arthur questioned as he looked up at the other.

"Limey, don't you…ever do that again…okay?" Gilbert said between sniffs before looking down at England. Arthur suddenly felt bad as he considered for the first time what Prussia must have felt when he left. Sure, Gilbert had strong attachments to his animals, and people get upset when their pets are missing, but adding in the fact that Prussia was pretty much on his own, it changed things. Germany was barely at home, and even if he was, he was doing work. So was everyone else, because they were still nations.

England subconsciously nodded his head towards the Prussian before realizing what he had done. Why did I nod? I can't agree to something like this if I want to get home But he felt too much guilt to go against his better judgement. He felt as though he was rewarded when Gilbert gave a small grateful smile towards him.

"Danke," He thanked as he stood and began walking down the street, cradling the soaked cat in his arms. Arthur was surprised, shocked, and a little angry when he realized he was no more than five minutes away from Germany's house. All this time I was walking back? He criticized with a huff.

Gilbert opened the door to the house and entered, closing the door behind him. Immediately Germany appeared through the door leading to the living room.

"Well?" He questioned. Prussia smiled and revealed the cat hidden in his coat.

"I found him," He answered.

"Well, it's a good thing; he could have been killed out there." Ludwig said with a nod.

"Can you hold him for a moment?" Gilbert asked. Germany nodded and Prussia handed England over to his brother. Arthur gave an angry huff and looked at Gilbert expectantly as the Prussian hung his coat up on the rack. He then came and took England back.

"Danke West, for doing…well, everything you did really." Prussia thanked with a sheepish smile. Germany blinked surprised for a moment before nodding.

"J-Ja," He stuttered, taken aback.

"I know you have stuff you have to do, so I won't bug you anymore. I'll go dry Limey up and make sure he hasn't picked up any sickness from the streets." Gilbert explained with a nod before turning and leaving before his brother could say anything.

"…Alright," Ludwig answered quietly to himself before sighing and heading upstairs.

~oOo~

"It must feel good to get these bandages off finally," Prussia commented lightly as he took the wet bandages off of his cat. England looked up at him from where he sat on the bathroom counter. Gilbert frowned as he took a closer look at Arthur. Taking Limey's previously injured leg and moving it back and forth he made a confused sound.

"Strange, you're completely healed. You healed much faster than I expected," He said as he pulled back with a raised eyebrow. Same here Arthur agreed as he looked at his leg.

"Well…I guess that's a good thing…anyways, here," Gilbert took the dry towel beside England and wrapped it around Arthur's still shivering body. Thanks England said with a small blush.

"I don't think you caught anything, but I think it's best to keep an eye on you just in case. I hope you're warm enough with just this, I can take the blow drier out if you want." Prussia continued. Arthur looked up at him alarmed from his last experience with it and shook his head quickly. Gilbert laughed and nodded his head.

"Alright then," Picking the cat up, Prussia wrapped the towel under England and carried him gently out of the bathroom, turning the light off as he did.

"Why don't we go watch a movie or something? It'll take our minds off of things." Gilbert suggested. Arthur could tell Prussia was eager to forget the whole matter and to probably make him feel more at home. England just nodded, not caring what they did as long as it involved him warming up.

Gilbert sat down on the couch in the living room with Arthur curled up on his lap. As the Prussian turned the TV on and found a movie playing, England snuggled up inside his towel and made up his own subtitles for the movie.

As the movie continued Arthur began to fall asleep to Prussia's touch as Gilbert scratched him gently behind the ears. I missed this England purred softly, not even aware of what he was thinking.

~oOo~

"Alfred, you can't do this." Canada begged as he looked at his brother.

"That bastard…he promised to find Iggy, and then he just quits!" America growled as he typed angrily on the keyboard of his computer.

"I'm sure he has his reasons-" Matthew started but was cut off.

"And what about the rest of the UK? They just stop looking for their own brother? They just stopped caring! I'm going to find him no matter what!" Alfred exclaimed determined.

"We agreed to not tell anyone else! If everyone finds out, they could do almost anything! What if they find him and hold him captive for ransom, o-or hurt him, o-or-"

"Mattie," Canada stopped babbling. "We have to find him. This is my fault, if I don't find him, I'll never forgive myself." America said seriously, his eyes showing a deep emotion that Canada instantly recognized. He slowly nodded in understanding.

"Alright…I hope you know what you're doing." Alfred nodded.

~oOo~

"Bruder, look at-"

"Shh! West, Limey's sleeping," Prussia hissed as his brother walked into the living room during the credits of the movie. Germany paused, paper in hand, looking at the sleeping cat buried in a towel, before sighing frustrated.

"This is serious bruder; I got an email from America. It's addressed to all nations." He continued quietly. Gilbert looked at him shocked.

"Everyone? What is it?" He asked.

"It's England, he's missing." Ludwig answered.

"What!" Gilbert practically shrieked. Germany quickly hushed his brother, motioning to the cat. Prussia rolled his eyes angrily at the rule of being quiet that he set upon the room.

"He didn't explain what happened, but England's been missing for almost a month now, maybe a bit more." Ludwig continued.

"A-Are they sure he just isn't at home?" Gilbert tried.

"Nein, America saw him disappear. But he won't write what happened." Germany explained.

"How is that possible? Why didn't he tell anyone before?" Prussia asked angrily.

"I don't know, but he says for us to keep an eye for him. He sounds desperate,"

"Mein Gott," Gilbert whispered in disbelief and shock.

"I'm sorry bruder,"

"…What for?" He questioned quietly.

"You two were friends," Germany elaborated.

"Still are, don't act like he's dead West. Ja, we go drinking all the time with Denmark…it's weird thinking of him as…missing…I can't think of such a nation disappearing…I mean, where did he go? What happened that's so bad that America won't tell anyone?" Prussia explained with a sigh.

"If it's that bad, we shouldn't question him. I'll tell my boss of England's disappearance and see if they have any information or sightings of him," Ludwig offered.

"Ja, but do not let the information get out to the wrong people." Germany nodded in agreement before turning and heading for the phone. England stirred and Prussia looked down at him. Wh…what's going on? Arthur questioned sleepily, his eyes fluttering tiredly.

"Go back to sleep Limey, I'll get West to put in another movie for you to sleep to." Gilbert whispered gently to the kitten, petting him softly on the head, causing Arthur's eyes to close at each touch. M'kay England slurred, putting his head back down and falling back to sleep.

A/N- WAKE UP LIMEY! DO IT! Hehe, I'm sure you guys were wondering when THIS news would be spread, and now it is.

Now, on a side note, you must have noticed that I refered to the Battle of Waterloo probably more than I should have. It's only for one majour reason. If you a re a big fan of PrussiaxEngland pairing, I would suggest looking this war up. Because honestly, when I read about it in my Les Miserables book, I nearly died. Best Yaoi war I read yet. I loved it so much I wrote a One-Shot dedicated to it, a story I treasure to much considering. I WOULD put it up on Fanfiction for all of you to read about Prussia and England's beautiful love at the end of the war, but I'm so protective of the story that I can't. I don't think people will appreciate the Awesomeness the story holds, so sorry guys for that.

Anyways, please review with your thoughts on the chapter as always! Ciao! :)
