Well, I'm completely sorry for this long period of nothing. Really, I'm sorry, I know I said I wouldn't do that again for another ten chapters, but MEIN GOTT, I've had a lot of things going on. Finals, class trip, GRADUATION, AnimeNEXT [which, by the way, did anyone else go?], I'm also sick /stupidKianu/ but now that I'm out of school, I can update sooner. I warn you in advance though, I'm booked ALL August, so I hope to be at chapter 20 by then.
I hope. ; u ;

But I'm back now with three chapters+ ready, and more on the way. So, please enjoy!

Also, making a calender for this story, since it might be a little hard to follow at times, with unstated time-skips and stuff. To be posted on my deviantART, so look out for it.

.X.x.X.x.X.

"Okay, just get things ready. We can't have nothing set in place when my words are set in stone!" He yelled into the phone before forcefully snapping it closed and stuffing it in his pocket.
"Useless... Completely useless. Dicster, remind me to get a new secretary after this ordeal starts."

"Yes, sir." The driver nodded.

Just then, the nation's phone rang again.

"What the hell do you want?"

"O-oh! I-I'm sorry if I interrupted something- I can call back la-"

"Oh, Mattie!" He faked delight.
"Sorry, I've just been really stressed out lately, it's been cutting into my personal time. So what'd ya need?"

"O-okay, yeah. I just wanted to tell you* that I'm waiting at your house to talk to you. Mr. D'wailey told me I could probably wait at your house, so..."

"Yeah, that's fine. I'm on my way from the airport, so I'll be there in a while. See ya soon!"
And he hung up again.

"Oh, God, really? Did he have to come now? Ah... Whatever. Just setting the plans back a bit. No big deal."
Alfred turned to the chauffeur.
"Hey, Perce, can we stop at McDonalds on the way?"


"Okay, everyone shut up! We'll get nothing done if you all keep talking!" Germany slammed his palms against the table.

The room was silent- you could probably hear a pin drop.

"Now, why don't we start already."

China was the first to stand up.
"America visited me twice, aru. The first time he paid off his entire debt to me, and talked about Taiwan's independence. The second time he had me sign her declaration or constitution or whatever, aru."

"Mm. Maybe there's really nothing going on-?"
England mused.

"He left the second time right after I'd lifted my pen from signing the damn thing. He was gruff and only said goodbye before slamming the door, aru" The Asian added.

"Oh."

Bulgaria spoke out next.
"He called Vlad a while ago- February twenty-fifth, I believe- saying he needed war supplies. Roma sent some over and I think he said they were to get there that Thursday- the twenty-ninth."

"Well, it's been about ten days since then- he must have called after our meeting. So America has boatloads of supplies for war." Thailand pondered aloud.
"Something seems wrong about that, ana..."

"Is it really that uncommon? I mean, we all- at some point- have asked for things from fellow nations. Does it really pertain to any serious fact we have?" The German had a valid point.

"Yes, mon ami, but last time we saw l'Amerique, he was perfectly fine." France commented. "He's drawn out of any wars, and declared neutrality. The monsieur has a point as well."

Ludwig grimaced.

"Is there something you're not telling us, Ludwig-san?" Japan asked.

"Why would you think that, Japan? I'm here just as the rest of you are, unsure as to whether Alfred can be trusted."

"It seemed like you're trying to steer us away from thinking he's doing something wrong, Germany." Arthur spoke again.

"I told you, I don't-"

Riiing! Riiing!
Riiing!
Riiing! Riiing!
Riiing!

"Someone answer it, aru!"

Riiing! Rii-

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Speaker, Angleterre!"

England muttered something like, "Shut up, frog!" but pressed the button anyway.

"England? Are you there?"

"Mm? What is it? What do you want, America?"

"Just wanted to know if you-" The nation on the other line was cut off by a background sound.

"America? What are you doing?"

"Nothing, bro! I'll be down in a minute!" It sounded like he held the phone away from him.
"What was I saying-? Oh yeah, just wanted to know if you've seen Tony around. Haven't seen 'im in a while, and he hasn't called me. I was wondering if you or your 'magical beings' have seen him."

England deadpanned, picking up the slight sarcasm when his former charge said 'magical beings.' He replied anyway.
"No, I'm sorry. I haven't seen your 'alien friend.' You'll just have to ask someone else."

"Oh, well. Thanks anyway man. Bye." And the line was cut.

"Strange phone call, Arthur." Germany stated plainly.
"Didn't seem too out of the normal, except that maybe it was too normal. Anything you'd like to share?"

The tall blonde was practically smirking.

"No!" Britain said defensively. "I have nothing to hide, unlike you!"

"I have nothing to hide, either." Ludwig's eyes narrowed at the shorter nation.
"I feel we should end this meeting."

"As do I." And the Englishman left the room.

The air still held some of the tenseness from moments before as countries filed their way out silently.

Nobody dared to even ask when the next meeting would be.


You know, they never ask about if there are any broken mirrors, just if there are any that look good.
Next time, someone should show a person a good-looking broken mirror.

Really, it's not like they're any different, right?


* Just a little bit of trivia, but on my iPod- since there are more typos on there than there usually are on here- it actually said "I just wanted to top you" instead of "I wanted to tell you."

Two completely different statements, if you know what I mean. ;/u/;
