"That has to be the dumbest, most ridiculous idea I've ever heard!" England snapped, glaring over at America. The meeting had only just started a few minutes ago, and already the nations were arguing about the most petty of things.

America crossed his arms and glared right back at England. "I think it's a great idea! We need to build a superhero robot to save us from aliens!"

"Honestly, you're both such unrefined morons." France huffed out.

Arktos sighed, leaning back in his chair and staring blankly up at the ceiling while all the nations continued to argue with each other. Honestly, he was amazed that they all hadn't killed each other already with how much everyone fought. He looked down when his chair suddenly began trembling violently. He peered over his armrest and sighed. "What are you doing down there, Feli?"

Feliciano reached up and pulled Arktos down onto the ground with him. He hugged the tiny country to him and rocked back and forth. "Everyone is being so scary right now. It's best they we just stay out of this, Arktos."

Arktos pouted, ducking his head as a chair flew by. "We've got to stop everyone. If they keep this up, we're never going to get anything done." Arktos wriggled out of Feliciano's grasp and climbed back into his chair. He stood up on it and cleared his throat, trying to get everyone's attention.

Everybody was so wrapped up in their own arguments, that none of them noticed little Arktos. "Um, guys?" Arktos tried, his voice so soft that nobody heard him. "Hey…" He moved his head to the side to avoid a wok that had been aimed at Germany. "Everyone if you…" He ducked down as a tomato was also thrown at Germany. He really needed to move his chair away from Germany. Feeling very irritated and annoyed, Arktos took a deep breath in and screamed. "Everyone, shut up!"

All the nations in the room froze and looked over at the red faced child. "What's wrong…" America began, trying to placate his little brother.

"All of you just sit down and shut up right now!" Arktos shouted, pointing to all the different countries. He was shocked when they all actually obeyed him. Puffing his little chest out, Arktos continued. "This is so stupid! You guys are supposed to be in charge of the world and all you do is fight! We're supposed to talk about our problems in these meetings, not beat each other with kitchen equipment. Now," He pulled a teddy bear out of his coat pocket and held it up. "This is The Talking Bear. If you have the bear, you get to speak. Everyone else has to be quiet. You can only have The Talking Bear for five minutes and you don't get it back until everyone has gotten a turn. If you talk when it's not your turn, you miss your next turn. Germany will bring up all the topics we need to talk about today. Do you all understand?"

While everyone else nodded, Romano scoffed. "There's no way I'm listening to a bratty kid like you. I'm not holding some stupid teddy bear…" His sentence was cut off due to Arktos's boot being thrown into his face.

Arktos waved the teddy bear in the air. "You don't have The Talking Bear right now, Romano. You miss your first turn." He turned to Germany and smiled. "So, what's the first topic?"

Germany cleared his throat and looked down at the agenda. "Um, alternative energy sources."

"Okay." Arktos looked around the table at all the silent countries. "Who wants to go first?" He looked suspiciously over at Feliciano. "If your answer has something to do with pasta, women, or white flags, put your hand down." Once Feliciano put his hand down with a pout, Arktos looked around. He climbed up onto the table and walked over to Japan. He handed the teddy bear to Japan and smiled. "You can start, Japan-nii."

Japan watched Arktos walk back to his seat before clearing his throat and beginning to speak. Arktos kept track of the time, instructing Japan to pass it to the person on his right when he was finished. The rest of the meeting continued this way, with only a few hiccups along the way. There were no more screaming matches, so Arktos considered the meeting an overall success.

"You were awesome, Arktos!" Feliciano cheered, hugging the little nation tightly. "Not even Germany can get everyone to listen to him like that!"

Arktos grinned proudly. "Thanks. I'm gonna go say bye to Liechtenstein." He ran over to the quiet country and tugged on her shirt. "Hey, Liechtenstein, can I come over and play soon? You said I could."

Liechtenstein smiled and patted Arktos's head. "Of course. Just make sure your big brother is okay with it."

Arktos immediately deflated. "Big Brother won't let me go. He wants to work on his plan for my country. He never lets me use my ideas and he doesn't listen to me."

"Why don't you tell him how you feel?" Liechtenstein suggested, crouching down so she was at Arktos's height. "If you tell America how you really feel, I'm sure he'll listen to you. He loves you a lot, you know."

Arktos smiled at Liechtenstein and hugged her. "Thanks, Liechtenstein. I'll see you later! Bye, Switzerland!" He said when the other nation came up to stand beside Liechtenstein.

"There you are!" America exclaimed when Arktos ran over. He picked the little boy up and hugged him. "I was wondering where you'd run off to. Come on; we need to talk about how we're going to use those natural resources of yours." He put Arktos down and took the little boy's hand, leading him away from the meeting house.

Arktos took a deep breath. "Hey, Big Brother, about all that…"

"I think you've got a lot of potential in the fishing industry, but you've also got a lot of lumber." America blabbered on, completely ignoring Arktos's attempts to speak up.

For some reason, Arktos just couldn't bring himself to yell at his big brother like he had all the others in the meeting. He loved his big brother more than anyone else in the entire world, and he knew America was just trying to do what he thought was best for Arktos. Even so, Arktos just wished America would listen to him for once.

America finally stopped in front of Arktos's home. He was staying with Arktos for a bit to work out the plans for making Arktos into a more developed country. He smiled brightly down at his little brother. "Hey, Arktos, were you trying to say something earlier?"

Arktos opened and closed his mouth a few times. This was his chance to tell America how he was really feeling. His big brother was finally listening to him. Arktos looked up at America's smiling face and sighed. He plastered a smile on his own face and squeezed America's hand. "No…it's nothing…"

"Great! So, here's what I was thinking…" America babbled, completely missing the deflated face Arktos made as they walked into Arktos's home.
