He returned to his own country almost instantly, not bothering with shortcuts or trying to be discrete- after all, Austria had surrendered to him, now! He was in the clear, and he might even get a rank promotion or something from his boss for the job well down.

Meanwhile, back at Austria's house, Hungary had just arrived home, looking around frantically the moment she walked in the door.

"Is Vashy-kun back? Did he come back here?" She asked Roderich, who had returned to the kitchen table and was staring absently out the large window.

Roderich turned to look at her, and replied emotionlessly, "He did."

"Really? Where is he?"

"I…," Roderich turned back towards the window. "He left."

"You let him leave? Why?" Elizaveta ran over to the table.

Austria looked out the window for a long time before responding.

"I should tell you… exactly what happened…," he whispered.

"Excuse me, sir…," Vash said, knocking on the door to his boss's office with the back of his wrist. He waited for a reply before knocking again. "Sir, I-"

The door swung open, and Vash jumped back to avoid being hit by the high-velocity door. He peered inside the office- the door had been pushed open by a large swinging mallet that was apparently hanging from the ceiling.

"Vash, is that you?" The boss beamed from behind his desk,- 'desk' meaning a large wooden train with a board and several stacks of papers and comic books on it- waving a 2 pound back of skittles in the air.

"Uh… Yeah, I… The mission…," Vash glanced around nervously- the walls were splattered with bright colored paint and decorated with stuffed animals, and there were plastic lollipops hanging from the ceiling. This definitely didn't look anything like the old office, even though it was definitely the same room.

"The mission?" His boss asked, sipping some kool-aid and stroking a fluffy puppy. "Oh ri~ght! Tha~t mission! I called it off!" Boss smiled.

"You wha- You called it off!? Why? Austria surrendered and everything!"

"Aw, poor Roddy! Tell him I revoked him, and… ask him if he wants to come to my tea-party next week!" Boss grinned like a happy child and banged an inflatable hammer over Vash's head. Vash simply gave a confused look as the hammer bounced off his head.

"Sir… are you on some new kind of medicine?" Vash asked him, but the Boss just laughed.

"No, no. It's just been so… fun since you went missing! Would you like some hot chocolate?"

"Wait, wha- no, I don't want any hot chocolate!" Vash hurried out of the office. He closed the door and gave a long, drawn-out sigh. He looked up at the ceiling. "Am I the only sane person here?"

Disclaimerererererer: Hetalia and all its characters belong to Hidekazu Himaruya, who hasn't updated his blog in the past two freaking weeks. That 2 pound skittles bag, on the other hand... well, I just ate it, and that's why I wrote this cracky chappy! =P
