They ended up at a Russian restaurant that Alfred had looked up on his phone. The place was maybe half an hour's walk away but they spent that time talking. Alfred talking. Ivan listened this time around as he heard about America's fifty states and how they we're doing.
Ivan waited for him to talk about Alaska and how the small child was doing. He was interested on how the small child was doing. It turn's out she was doing well. Other then complaining that her house need more pink things in it.
"She want's a pink pony too but I told her we can't paint the pony pink."
"Your going to get her a pony?"
"Yep. Some of her sister's have horses and ponies and even though it's cold there I was thinking of building an indoor coral for her to use. Anyway the humans won't be able to see it. I was thinking about it the last time I talked to her about it. Everyone else has a pet. I was thinking about going up there next month for her birthday. You should come with me,"
Ivan thought about it for a second. It had been years since he saw Alaska and that was when Alfred brought her to the world meeting so he could see her. He had been so angry about America having her that he lashed at him and She cried the rest of the meeting.
Since then he had no contact and America wouldn't bring her again. After that their fights continued until he gave him that idiot rabbit.
"Da, I will go,"
"Good," Alfred said through a mouth full of food. "You should buy her something before we go,"
"Da,"
Alfred continued to eat until he was full. Then he smiled at Ivan who was already done. Then they paid and left.
Canada looked up from his book. Something ripped through him. Looking around he frowned with worry. Standing he walked towards his window. There was nothing but snow this time of year. Yes something was off.
Suddenly the lights began to flicker. Looking up at the chandelier that was in his home he watched it flicker off and on and then all the lights went out. Looking back out he took out his phone to call his boss about the black out. If his house got one that meant a lot of others had black outs.
"What?" He whispered.
Matthew cell phone was hazed with fuzz. Pushing buttons he tried to get it too work but to no avail. Then saddened a loud boom sounded. Gasping he looked out his window.
"A blizzard?"
Then a figure seemed to blur with the snow. Squinting he tried to figure out who it was and hoped it wasn't Cuba out there in the violent storm.
Then the thing came closer and his eyes widened. That wasn't a human or even a nation. Whatever it was sent chills down his back. Stepping back he screamed as the oroom tempterur dropped voilents and he grabbing his head screaming at the cold that rushed through him. Then it vanished causing him to pass out on his living room floor, the lights flickering back on.
"Amigo?"
"Oui?"
"Are you expecting anyone?"
Francis stood up from the love seat he was sharing with Arthur. They had all been sitting down talking. Well, the trio was. Arthur simply leaned against Francis.
"Non. Someone must have lost their way and stumbled upon my home."
"Strange. Human's cans see our homes. Maybe it's another nation?" Arthur said.
Gilbert stood up and looked out the window. Eyes wide he turned around fear filled his face. "Run!"
"What?" Spain asked confused.
"Don't just sit there, run!" Gilbert screamed again making a run for the basement. "Run you idiots!"
Francis took a look outside and then grabbed Arthur's hand, "Hurry!"
"What the bloody hell, frog?"
A loud bang knocked them over. Gilbert grabbed Spain and shoved him down the stairs. Francis and Arthur were close behind when sudden the house shook causing them to tumble to the floor. The door burst opened and freezing air came through stinging them.
"Mon cher stay down!"
Arthur closed his eyes feeling Francis's weight on top of him, trying to shield him from whatever was coming. A snow crystal landed on his hand and Arthur let out a painful scream. Cold shot through his body making him feel as his he was freezing from the inside.
"Get out of my house!" France yelled at the strange being. "You're not welcome here!"
In an instant it stopped. As quick as it came it was gone. Francis looked around before getting up pulling Arthur up trying to warm the shaking nation.
"I-I'm aright…," He stuttered.
"I will get you a heated blanket. Spain! Prussia!"
The other two came out. Spain comeplty confused on what had happened and Prussia made a break for the door.
"Gilbert!" Francis called. "Where are you going?"
"I have to go warn my Bruder! I'll explain later!" He yelled.
"Amgio, what if he won't let you?" Antonio said rushing to the front steps as the albino hurried to a car.
"If you don't ear from me in two days then you'll have to come and get me!"
"I was thinking that we should go see the grand cannon. It's amazing! There's a sky walk that you stand on and it look like your standing on air and you can look down to the bottom of the grand canon."
"Da,"
"Are you just agreeing on everything I say or are you just not paying attention?" Alfred asked.
"I'm paying attention,"
"Then you won't mind us having dinner at Macdonald's?"
"I won't,"
"Hey, you hate my Macdonald's, why do you want to go?"
Ivan continued to walk when he heard Alfred stop asking him something. Looking down he saw Alfred answering his phone.
"Hey Mattie! Hey… what's wrong?"
Ivan stopped walking and waited.
"Are you okay? No, I haven't. I'll be right over!"
Just as he got off Russia got a text message with two code words. Eyes wide he saw Alfred rushing off. Reaching out he grabbed his hand.
"Stop!"
"Let go! Mattie needs me!"
"No! You can't go there! Listen to me, General Winter is awake. I don't know how he woke up but you need to stay here. It's easier to attack someone when their not in their own country. You brother will be fine. I need to go but stay away from other countries lands until it's safe,"
"What? But Ivan-"
"No! Stay here! I'll be back as soon as I can,"
"I can't! Mattie… Wait! Can he.." Alfred paused. "Never mind. Go. I'll stay here.."
Ivan nodded and then turned to rush off before stopping.
"Stupid olf…" Alfred said as he ran towards his brother's borders.
Ivan had come back to give him a passionate kiss before turning heading back to his homeland. After he was out of sight he ran to where his brother lived. After he made sure he was safe then he had to go and see Alaska.
"You should have known I can't hold still when someone needs me,"
What Alfred didn't know was someone was waiting for. Watching him from the shadows of the border.
Uh-oh
