Scotland and _ were flying to Norway. He looked over and saw her sadly looking out the window.

"…This war is tearing relations between countries apart…Countries that are so kind and shy like Ludwig are invading their own neighbors…"

"War changes people, _" he responded.

She glanced over at him staying silent. He sighed and smiled at her.

"I'm sure Norway is fine. He's a strong country"

She remained silent and just nodded looking back at the window. _ flinched. Scotland looked at her confused, and looked out the window. There were dark smoke clouds floating through the air. As they lowered closer to the ground they flew by someone. It was Germany. He was talking to a solider until his eyes flickered up to see them. He froze for a second before giving _ a twisted smirk. She had met him before, and she never thought she'd see such a scary expression from the country.

"Take us to the countryside! He knows of our arrival!" Scotland yelled to the pilot. They flew higher into the sky. He sighed and plopped back down in his seat.

"This is bad…really bad…" he muttered running a hand through his hair. Scotland looked up at _. She was still gazing out the window at the scene.

"…We have to find Norway and get out of here before Germany finds us…"Scotland thought.

They landed on an empty grass field. They looked around for a few minutes before finding a small cottage hidden in some woods not too far away.

"Stay alert. These people don't know if we're friend or foe", Scotland whispered. _ nodded in response. They took a few steps toward the cottage, and suddenly an old couple popped out of the doorway with guns in hand. Scotland and _ stopped. Before any move could be made, a voice called out, "_?"

Everyone froze. _ instantly recognized the voice and yelled back, "Lukas?!"

The couple lowered their weapons, and looked inside the house. _'s eyes widened when she saw an injured Norway appear in the doorway. She ran into his arms. He hugged her tightly as though telling her to never leave him again. War had brought the two together again.
