I feel bad that I took a long time updating, so I decided to upload another chapter sooner. :D

Thank you Marcy Charli Zara for your suggestions. I'll be sure to go back and fix the errors. It might take a week or two (Tests are coming up. It might slow me down.) I'm glad you pointed it out. I really appreciate it. :)

Switching point of views (POW) rarely happens in this fic, but, I feel it'll feel make certain scenes more interesting if readers don't know what Atlantis is planning. :)

Atlantis strolls by a nice neighborhood in Germany after finishing her assassination mission. A former Atlantean citizen was going to release incriminating documents and photos to the German Media. Atlantis put a stop to it by poisoning his drink. The dark blue-haired woman also made sure to destroy all the evidence. Even in this modern era, poison is still effective.

Atlantis lingers outside Germany's house. She sees Germany scrambling to button his suit as he power walks to the street. Germany catches a glimpse of Atlantis and goes straight towards her.

Germany quickly says, "Atlantis, thank goodness you're here. Can you do me a favor and watch Prussia while I'm gone? There's an emergency G8 meeting and you're the first country I can find." Atlantis reflects on his question. She doesn't like Prussia very much. His pride and so-called 'Awesomeness' irritates her.

But, as Atlantis gazes into Germany's desperate eyes, she thinks it's a better idea to set aside her feelings, for Germany's sake. He really looks like he needs help. It's not as though Prussia is her mortal enemy. The Atlantean figures she can handle Prussia for a few hours.

She thinks, "How bad can it be?"

Atlantis helps Germany's fumbling hands with his tie. "I'll do it." Atlantis ignores Germany's growing embarrassment. "I'm curious, though. Why does Prussia need a babysitter? He's a grown man, surely he can handle being home alone." She straightens out his tie and moves to help with his collar.

He takes a step away from Atlantis and shyly tilts his head to the road. "That's not necessary Atlantis. I can fix myself." Atlantis furrows her brows. She sees nothing wrong with helping him fix his tie. She does this with the adult royal children all the time, much to their annoyance.

Germany coughs into his hand. "I need you to keep Prussia from crashing the meeting. It's very important and the other countries don't need Prussia causing chaos." Atlantis sees the logic in this. Prussia can become very distracting; especially when he's drunk. That's something she doesn't want to remember.

Atlantis smiles. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." Germany gives a "Thank you" before rushing to his car. Atlantis says, "Goodbye, Germany."

Atlantis watches as he drives away. Once the car is out of her sight, Atlantis goes to Germany's house. She knocks on the door a few times. Atlantis hears loud footsteps and a "coming." The door opens to reveal Prussia slouching on the door frame.

Prussia smirks. "Are you here to take in my awesomeness?" Atlantis resists the urge to roll her eyes. She pretends to look around. "I see no 'awesome' men around." Prussia moves to the side and allows Atlantis to enter. The Prussian shuts the door behind them and heads to the kitchen with Atlantis following him.

Prussia playful places his right hand over his heart. "You're so heartless Atlantis. You wound me." The ex-nation reaches into the refrigerator for German beer. "If you get that stick out of your ass, maybe you'll be more fun to be around."

Atlantis fumes. She's not going to let Prussia get away with that comment. She retorts, "If you mature, maybe you'll become awesome."

Atlantis and Prussia engage in a stare down, their pride refusing to let either of them to back down. The doorbell interrupts their match. When Prussia refuses to go answer the door, Atlantis sighs.

"I'll go answer it." As Atlantis walks out of the kitchen, Prussia shouts, "Kesesese~ Prussia for the win!" Atlantis grumbles how obnoxious the Prussian man can be. Sure, America is obnoxious too, but he means well. Prussia, on the other hand, is very narcissistic. His gloating of his 'awesomeness' reaffirms it.

Atlantis opens the door to see England holding the hand of a young boy dressed in a sailor outfit. She certainly didn't expect to see the Englishman at Germany's house when there's an emergency G8 meeting happening at the moment.

"Good afternoon, Atlantis."

Atlantis courteously says, "Hello England. Germany is not home at the moment. He already left for the meeting."

"I know." England sheepishly smiles. "If it's not too much trouble, can you please babysit Sealand for me? I heard you were babysitting Prussia so I thought you are capable of the job."

Sealand grumbles, "A country like me doesn't need a babysitter."

Germany must have spread the word fast. Not even thirty minutes have passed and she's already getting more countries to watch over. She hopes she doesn't get more countries visiting with child countries in tow. It'll be overwhelming if it continues.

"I don't mind. I love children." Now Atlantis doesn't have to spend the entire day watching only Prussia. At least she has an adorable child to cuddle with and not get arrested for being a 'cougar.'

Sealand huffs, "England, I thought you said I was going to meet a real country." Atlantis' eyes' twitches. This child better not be referring to her. If so, he's going to bed without desert. She's real, dammit!

England harshly tugs on Sealand's arm. "Sealand! That's a rude thing to say, apologize this instant." Sealand crosses his arms and looks away from England. "Everyone knows Atlantis is a make-believe country, like your imaginary friends." Sealand is lucky he's a child. Or else he might find himself sleeping with the fishes, as the idiom goes.

England apologizes, "I'm sorry Atlantis for Sealnad's behavior." Atlantis forces a smile on her face. She lies, "It's alright."

England focuses his attention the child. "You behave and be nice to Atlantis while I'm gone, alright Sealand?"

Sealand grumbles, "Okay."

England says, "Goodbye Atlantis and Sealand." The Englishman leaves in a hurry, leaving the remaining two countries in an uncomfortable silence.

"Let's go inside Sealand." Atlantis leads Sealand into the house. He immediately lunges for the couch. He lays his head on the armrest, his shoulders slump.

Sealand whines, "I want to go to the meeting, too. A country like me should be allowed to go."

Atlantis takes a seat next to Sealand. "Only counties can go to the meetings."

Sealand argues, "I'm a country." Atlantis has never heard of the 'country' of Sealand. She highly doubts it's real. "How come you get to go to the meetings? You're not a country!" That strikes a nerve. She knows she's real. She's not a myth!

"As England said before, my name is Atlantis."

Sealand gets a mischievous smile on his face. "I know your real name~"

Atlantis raises an eyebrow. "Oh? Tell me, Sealand, what is my name?" She wonders what Sealand thinks is her 'real' name. She's not lying about her own name. She has nothing to gain by lying about it.

Sealand jumps from the couch and strikes a pose. He shoves his index finger to her face. "Your real name is Moo!" (1)

Atlantis blinks. "…..Moo….?"

Sealand nods his head in conformation. "Uh huh! I overheard Japan calling you Moo once." Atlantis flinches at the mention of Japan. She feels guilty; she hasn't given him an apology yet.

Sealand grins. "Caught in your own lie. Your silence confirms it." Atlantis is about to retort, when she is interrupted by a laugh.

"Kesesese~ You're really a cow, Atlantis? I should've known. It explains your lack of awesomeness." Atlantis is wondering how long he was standing there. She didn't hear him enter the living room.

Atlantis glares at Prussia. The Prussian is leaning over the counch, laughing hard. "I'm not a cow."

Prussia's eyes gleam. "Say, your country is in the sea near to Spain, right?" Atlantis hesitantly nods. She doesn't know why he's bringing this up.

Prussia leans into Atlantis' face, disturbing her comfort zone. Atlantis holds her breath, wary of Prussia's next words.

"You're a sea cow!"

Atlantis can't take the verbal abuse any longer. She harshly replies, "I'm a woman, not an animal you simpleton."

Sealand pipes in, "Sea cow, why aren't you in your natural habitat? You're a little too large to live on land." Atlantis unconsciously reaches for her stomach and squeezes it.

She thinks, "I'm not fat…right? I exercise and I do not eat fast food." Curse these two countries for making her feel insecure about her body. Atlantis resists the urge the urge to lift her shirt to check. There are men present in the room.

Atlantis retorts, "I refuse to take anymore more of your insults." Atlantis quickly walks to the kitchen, trying to block out Prussia and Sealand's laughter.

Atlantis takes a bottle of water on the counter and drinks large gulps. She coughs, since she was swallowing the water too quickly. Atlantis is regretting her decision to babysit the countries. She should have declined Germany's pleas and told him she had important business to attend to.

Atlantis thinks it's a good idea to go back to the living room to give them a scolding of a lifetime. They deserve it.

"What are you doing here Sealand? You want to see my awesomeness, too?" The Atlantean peaks her head out of the kitchen. She doesn't want to leave the kitchen just yet.

Sealand replies, "Atlantis is babysitting me too."

Prussia looks at Sealand with confusion. "Too?" Atlantis recalls Germany didn't have time to tell him about it. Oh well, it's not her fault.

Sealand stares at Prussia in disbelief. "Didn't Germany tell you Atlantis is babysitting you?"

"Nein, he didn't." Prussia complains, "The awesome me doesn't need a babysitter. Why did he leave me with one?"

Sealand answers, "So we don't 'crash' the meeting they're having right now. I deserve to be there."

Prussia stops all movement. "…..There's a meeting going on right now and West didn't tell me….."

A maniacal grin crosses Prussia's face. "Let's crash the meeting in revenge!" Sealand quickly agrees. "But first, we have to ditch the babysitter." Those two need to speak more quietly when their discussing their plan. She can hear them all the way from the kitchen.

Sealand slumps into the couch. "How are we going to do that? She won't let us leave so easily."

Prussia pats Sealand's shoulder. "The great Prussia will think of a plan." Prussia snaps his fingers. "I'll call it Operation Escape from Sea cow." Atlantis thinks that horrid nickname will never go away at this rate. Prussia and Sealand have grown an attachment to it already. She'll die of humiliation if they call her Sea cow in front of the other nations.

Atlantis thinks it's a good idea to make her entrance now. She doesn't want them to become suspicious on why she was taking a long time in the kitchen. An evil grin makes its way on the golden-eyed woman's face.

"They believe they can escape the mighty empire of Atlantis so easily? Fools, that's what those males are. They'll feel the wrath of Poseidon!"

The countries are sitting on two sofas facing each other. Prussia watches Atlantis reading a dull book, peaking at them from time to time. She doesn't look like she trusts them. Prussia knows she has a good reason to: he and Sealand are executing their escape plan now. The Prussian gives Sealand the signal: a two finger salute.

Sealand nods. Sealand puts on a fake smile and leaps onto Atlantis' lap, knocking her book to the floor. Atlantis frowns at her fallen book. Sealand exclaims, "I love you Atlantis! Let's play hide-and-seek."

Prussia smirks. He remembers hearing that Atlantis is a sucker for children. She's clingy as hell when it comes to kids. It has something to do with 'filling the voiiiiid.'

Prussia and Sealand's plan is simple. Sealand will convince Atlantis and him to play 'hide-and-seek.' The two countries are going to use this game to escape to the meeting. Atlantis, of course, is going to be 'it.' While she's counting, they'll make a break for it to the back door.

The plan is fool-proof because the awesome Prussia made it.

Atlantis looks skeptical. She tries to put Sealand at an arm's length from her. "You're calling me Atlantis? Didn't you believe I was a myth?"

Prussia's eyes' widen. "Shit. The plan can't end because of a stupid mistake!"

Sealand improvises on his mistake. He cuddles Atlantis and rubs his head to her neck. "You hate being called Sea cow, so I thought I can call you by your...real name." Atlantis is silent, seemingly ignoring Sealand's 'affectionate' hugs.

Prussia is nervous. He hopes she buys the lie.

Atlantis snaps out of her thought. A smile crosses her face. Prussia swears it looks cruel. "Nah, she's not evil to children." She turns to him. "If Prussia joins, then we'll all play."

Prussia grins. "Of course I'll play. I don't want to disappoint him. Kesesese~" Perfect. He doesn't even need Sealand to 'drag' him into the game.

Atlantis removes Sealand from her lap. She claps her hands and grins. "Why don't you two hide while I count to one thousand…slowly?" She actually volunteered? Looks like Sealand doesn't have to guilt Atlantis with the puppy dog eyes to be it.

Prussia and Sealand exchange a secret grin. The plan is going smoother than he thought it would. He knows she can't resist kids; no matter how bratty they are.

Atlantis turns so her back faces them. "1….2….3….4…."

Prussia and Sealand dash from the room together. They go down a hallway, duck into a room, and break down laughing.

Prussia snickers, "Man, she's dense. Before she realizes we're not playing, it'll be too late. We'll already be at the meeting." He reaches into a chest and pulls out two paint guns. He tosses one to Sealand and he catches it.

Sealand laughs, "Yeah, and she'll be in big trouble with our brothers. They'll never ask her to babysit us ever again." Another bonus: no more Atlantis nagging them to behave.

A chill fills the air. It gets so cold, Prussia hugs himself for warmth.

A shriek causes Prussia to temporarily forget the cold. "Prussia, please help-" Loud thuds tune out the rest of her words. "Don't eat me-"

Their eyes widen in shock. "Sea cow!" both of the countries scream. They dart out of the room and back into the living room.

Prussia stops to a halt. He sees a red liquid covering the tiled floor. Atlantis' sandals are left in the pool of red. "Blood…" He grips his head. "West is gonna kill me! Look at this mess." Germany is such a neat freak. He'll force the Prussian the clean the mess, he just knows it.

Sealand punches him in the stomach. Prussia curses. "What was that for?"

The micro nation sobs, "A-Atlantis is dead and all you care about is getting in trouble with your brother?"

Prussia backpedals into a lamp. "S-She can't be dead." She's a country. Countries can't die unless their country disappears. Her country can't vanish in just two minutes. They saw her alive and well not that long ago.

Sealand tosses the paint gun across the floor. "I know I was mean to her, b-but that doesn't mean I want her to die," The micro nation becomes hysterical. "She screamed not to eat her! There's a country-eating monster on the loose."

Prussia slaps Sealand across the face. "Shut up and listen. Call the countries for back up and I'll go kill that thing." Prussia is going to get revenge. He loves pissing off Atlantis. He can't help himself: she has a giant tree up her ass. It's funny to see her get frustrated at his teasing.

Sealand picks up the phone and dials a number. Sealand stutters, "The phone's not working." Crap, Prussia left his cell phone in Germany's car. He knows his brother took the car to the meeting. The nearest building where the countries hold meetings in Germany is thirty miles away from the house.

Prussia runs to the kitchen for knives. It's the only available weapon at the time. If he manages to make it to his room, he can grab his guns. He returns to see the other country still in the house. "Sealand, get out of here and go get help."

Sealand's eyes widen. "What about you-"

"I'll be alright. Just find someone with a working phone."

Sealand reluctantly says, "Okay." The micro nation goes to the front door. He twists the doorknob, but it won't open. "I-It's locked."

Prussia pushes Sealand to the side to give the doorknob a try. "Impossible. The door can't lock from the inside." No matter how hard it's shaken, he couldn't get the door open.

Prussia keeps struggling with the doorknob, refusing to give up. "Stupid door won't open."

Sealand stutters, "P-Prussia, I f-found the monster." Prussia hesitantly turns around to see a strange creature.

The crystal clear dragon with sharp wings hisses at the countries. Blood oozes from its mouth, each drop slowly dripping to the floor.

Prussia smells a foul order. "That thing smells terrible."

"…I peed my pants…"

Prussia looks at Sealand's pants, and sure enough, he sees a wet stain on the crotch area. The Prussian grimaces at the disgusting sight. "Seriously? What are you, five?"

The crystal dragon roars. It holds out its claws to the sides of the countries to prevent escape. Prussia throws the knives at it. It doesn't do any damage besides leaving a few scratch marks.

Sealand and Prussia scream in terror as they hug each other. Sealand declares, "If I die, I want you to know I fed Gilbird Peeps." (2)

"If the awesome me dies, I want you to know I was the one who dyed your clothes pink."

"Wait, that was you!" they both exclaim at the same time.

Prussia feels a cold breath on his face. He blinks to see the unawesome crystal dragon breathing on them. Sealand and him scream again, only to fall unconscious shortly after.

Atlantis gently places a blanket on Sealand. She smiles as she moves some of his blonde hair from his face.

Soft knocking on the front door forces Atlantis to go answer. She gets up and goes to open the door. England and Germany walk into the room. Atlantis softly smiles. "Welcome back Germany, England."

Germany looks worriedly at her. "I hope Prussia didn't make too much trouble."

"Not at all. Surprisingly, they didn't try to escape."

Germany goes to tend to Prussia. He tries to wake him up, but his efforts are failing.

Atlantis lightly shakes Sealand's shoulder. "Sealand, please wake up. England's here for you."

Sealand abruptly wakes up, startled. Sealand gasps at Atlantis with wide eyes. He glomps her to the ground. Atlantis definitely didn't see that coming.

Sealand cries, "You're alive!"

Atlantis chuckles, "Of course I'm alive. My country didn't go extinct." Atlantis is denying it ever happened. Sealand will be more traumatized if he knows it actually happened.

England tries to pry Sealand off of her. "Let go off her, git." Sealand refuses to budge. Atlantis thinks she went a little too far with her prank. Sealand is still a child, after all. Maybe she should slip an amnesia potion into his drink so he can forget about the frightening experience.

Sealand cries, "A-Atlantis, how did y-you escape the scary dragon?" Ah, he must be referring to her ice dragon.

It was a pain to make on the spot. She had to freeze the inner workings of the front door's lock, spill red food coloring on the floor, leave her sandals in the liquid, disconnect the phones, and scramble to another room after she screams for 'help.' In the room, she had to quickly gather all the water she can to freeze it into the form of a large dragon.

All in all, she had to move with the speed of a cheetah on steroids before the escapees left the premises.

England scoffs, "I thought you didn't believe in magical creatures, Sealand?"

Sealand gets off Atlantis and does wild hand gestures. "I-It was huge and it ate Atlantis! Her blood and sandals are in the living room-"

England waves off Sealand's rant. "What blood? I don't see any."

"B-But-"

Atlantis wraps an arm around Sealand's shoulder. "Sealand, you had a horrible nightmare. During our game of hide-and-seek, I found you and Prussia sleeping in another room."

"I did?" Atlantis nods.

Sealand laughs, "Of course there's no such thing as crystal dragons, like Atlantis." She frowns. He's still a non-believer after that little fiasco.

England narrows his eyes at Sealand. "Where are his pants?" Around Sealand's waist is a pair of boxers, it's kind of loose on him.

Atlantis sighs. "Sealand had an accident in his pants. I borrowed one of Prussia's boxers." Atlantis adds, "I hope Prussia doesn't mind too much." Secretly on the inside, she is laughing hysterically. "That's what Prussia gets for trying to get me into trouble." She found the smallest pair of boxers she could find (preferably Prussia's) and changed Sealand into it.

Sealand blushes. "Y-You changed me?"

"Of course, there was no one else around to do it."

Atlantis goes to the door. "Goodbye gentleman, I must go home now." She exits the house with some "Goodbyes."

"Countrysitting isn't so bad. Hopefully, England and Germany will let her babysit their brothers more often. She won't terrorize them too badly next time~"

(1) Mu (A lost continent) is most commonly pronounced as Moo, like a cow going "Moo." It has another pronunciation, but people prefer saying Moo. I don't blame them. It sounds fun to say. :)

(2) Peeps- it is a popular Easter treat in the shape of a yellow bird.

Idioms are most commonly called phrases. These phrases are understood in one country, but sound like nonsense when someone from another country hears it. For example, "Two heads are better than one" or "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." (American idioms)

Atlantis is too motherly sometimes for her own good. She doesn't notice it half the time. XD It embarrasses everyone, especially men.

I never got around to showing a country who still doesn't believe in her existence. It finally happens and she hates it. XD
