Today was the day. We were getting ready to go to the other side. Only a few of the countries would be going though. We'd all discussed it and decided that everyone leaving this side to deal with Trent without any of the G8, at least, there was a bad idea. So only five of the nations would be accompanying Thomas and I.

Prussia was obviously coming along. And Germany was coming along to keep his brother in line. America and Spain had both insisted on coming as well. And with Spain and Prussia going… France took the final spot.

I was slightly worried. There'd be two sets of the Bad Touch Trio as well as two Americas on one side, interacting with each other. And even more worrying… I hadn't actually ever really told the nations about the units. I really had to work on not keeping secrets from them.

A coin was placed in my hand. I looked up and saw Thomas handing coins to everyone. I looked back down at the coin and thought about how soon I'd probably be seeing Liz and Tara again. I'd see Stephen and Conner as well. And my family.

I'd have to eventually tell them all I was having a baby. Depending on how long we stayed… everyone would probably be able to see it on their own. And what would I tell them when they asked who the father was? I felt that saying it was Prussia… or Gilbert to them… would be the best choice at this point.

I would never consider Trent this child's father. Biologically, it was his. But if I had my way he would never ever get to even see it. I would die before I allowed Trent to get anywhere near the baby. And, though the nations would throw a fit if I told them about my thinking about it, I found that to be a very possible future.

I had some worry about traveling this way while being pregnant. Thomas had said he didn't think it would harm, or even affect the baby in any way. But there was no way to be sure. As far as we knew, nobody had traveled this way while being pregnant. Thomas had done his best to assure me that everything would go fine, but I still felt worried about it. I planned on trying to get an appointment with a doctor as soon as we were there

I shook my thoughts away as Thomas began giving all of us the finer details of our visit to the other side. "We should wake up all near the same area. I still haven't found any real way to predict exactly where you'll end up when you use one of the coins. All I've found is that you'll usually end up in the same country and state as whoever else uses a coin by or at the same time as you. There's nothing to say you'll end up in the same city though. So we hopefully won't end up getting separated. And if we do... it hopefully won't be too far apart. Last time I came here with someone... with Tommy... we ended up a few towns apart."

I winced, easily picking up on the pain in Thomas' voice. A slight worry in my mind surfaced as I took in his words. What if we were separated? Trent would have such an easier time doing something if we were alone. I didn't care if he was a country now. I had no doubt in my mind that he'd come to the other side and try something.

"The funeral will be in two days from when we arrive," Thomas carried on, bringing me out of my thoughts again. "I'll be spending it with my parents... I'll come get you all before it starts though."

The nations and I nodded, not saying anything. Nothing needed to be said. We were all somber and upset that we would have to be doing this. Nobody wanted to go to a funeral. Especially not for somebody like Tommy. Somebody who had been so close to us. Someone who had helped so much and been so caring towards me. It was like it was solidifying the death even more. It was painful and hard to think about.

Thomas gave each of us a slip of paper. It held his cell phone number for the other side on it. It also held the information about where and when the funeral would be taking place. It was a good idea for each of us to have this type of information. It would be helpful in case we did end up getting horribly separated.

I looked down at the number, attempting to memorize it in case I really needed to know it and couldn't get to the paper. It was always better to be safe than sorry. I knew that better than anybody at this point.

Soon Thomas had left, saying he needed to go do some things before we left. I was left alone with the nations. I felt slightly nervous, knowing that I had to tell the nations about the units. Or at least... it would be best if I told them rather than just letting them find out for themselves. I hadn't done anything wrong by ordering them, especially since it had been an accident. But I hadn't told them when I'd had months to do so. And I felt as though it would be awkward to tell them something like that. To tell them there were robotic models of them, that acted just like them. That was weird and awkward.

I had to do it though. I had to tell them. It'd be even more awkward if we all showed up at my house and they met the units without any prior knowledge. I had to wonder if Thomas had even thought to tell the units what had happened. And what was going to happen to them now that Tommy wouldn't be around to keep them somewhat in line, assuming he'd done so before hand on one of his visits to the other side.

I took a deep breath and cleared my throat, causing the nations to all look at me questioningly. "I, um... I should probably tell you guys something. Something I probably should've brought up much earlier than this..."

Germany raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what is that?" he asked.

"Well... ya see... a little bit before I came back to this side... I may have ordered some... things," I said, glancing away with an awkward expression.

I glanced back up to see the majority of the nations blush while France and Prussia had smiles on their faces, though Prussias' was significantly more suppressed than Frances' was. "Wh-why would care about that?" America murmured, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.

"Yea, you're an adult are fully entitled to ordering that kind of stuff if you want to..." Germany said, looking away.

"And you must know of at least SOME of the things West is into," Prussia said with a slight smirk, earning a glare from Germany. "If we don't judge him for that, then we certainly won't judge you for whatever your into."

"Ohonhonhon~" France laughed. "It is actually quite invigorating to hear a woman be willing to talk about these types of things openly!"

I felt my face heat up tremendously. Were they seriously taking this the way I thought they were? How humiliating! What was worse was that France looked to be enjoying it so much! I began shaking my head and waving my hands furiously. "No! No, no, no! That's not what I meant at all! And even if I had purchased stuff like that, I wouldn't feel any need to tell you guys about it! So stop taking it that way right now!"

Spain looked at me as he suppressed a laugh. "You're bright red like a tomato, senorita. But tell us, what were you talk about then, if not that."

I looked away, trying to think of a way to word it that would seem the least awkward as possible. "They're like... they're sort of... um... gosh! How do I word this?"

"Just spit it out dude!" America said, now looking to be interested in what I was trying to tell them.

"It was an accident," I said, trying to make it sound less awkward than it actually was. "I got home late after going to fair with some friends and... and Tommy. I fell asleep at my computer and when I woke up there was this email. It said that I had ordered them. But I brushed it off as spam. Then a couple days later they arrived..."

"But what are THEY?" Germany asked, beginning to look very curious to know what the items in question were.

"They're... I think the email called them 'units'. But... they're basically... free thinking robot models of you guys."

Nobody responded. I looked up and saw all of the nations staring at me with dumbfounded and disbelieving expressions. "What?" Prussia asked.

"They're like... animatronic models of you guys. They act and sound just like you guys. There's about six of them at my house,"

The nations all remained quiet as they seemed to process what I'd told them. After a minute or so America began grinning like crazy. "So those plans actually worked!? I gotta tell Japan! This is so cool!"

The other four nations and I all looked at America with confusion. "Plans?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion.

"Yea, what're you talking about? What've you and Japan been up to that you haven't told us about?" Germany asked, crossing his arms with a questioning glare.

"Well..." America said, seeming to suddenly realized that he'd given himself and Japan away. "After you left... I got to thinking. If there's an anime about us where you come from then there's gotta be fans, right?" We all nodded. "So I went and talked to Japan about maybe making some stuff to give to give to Thomas to maybe sell there... to maybe help our economies and such. And one of them were plans for those unit things you ended up getting..."

We all stared at America. The idea had actually been pretty brilliant, especially for him. But I now knew that he and Japan were the reasons I had ended up having to deal with the antics of the units. "And you didn't tell us about this, why?" Spain asked.

"Erm..." America said, rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish grin and laugh. "We just figured you guys wouldn't be interested?"

All of us glared at America, not buying his answer for a second. "Anyway. Which ones did you get?" America asked, undoubtedly wanting to take attention away from himself.

"You," I said, keeping my glare for him to see as I spoke. "Spain, Prussia, Canada, Britain, and France."

America winced, most likely picking up on the venom in my tone. "Oh? How were they?"

"Way more trouble than they were worth."

"Hey!" Prussia said, crossing his arms and pouting. "It was the awesome me! He... it... I... me... whatever! It couldn't have been that much trouble!"

Germany and I both sent Prussia a look. "Are you sure you really know yourself?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yea. And I'm awesome," Prussia said with a smirk.

"Uh-huh," I said, looking away while Germany just shook his head.

I turned my attention back to the coin in my hand. I'd be going back to the other side within a matter of hours. I'd be seeing the units again. I'd be seeing my friends and family again. The past two months had seemed so long with everything that happened. But I was finally going to get to see everyone again.

Despite the depressing reason for our visit, I was so excited to see everyone again. I was even looking forward to having another dispute over how much more awesome Marvel was than DC with Stephen.
