A/N: Trying to slip this in amid my crazy school schedule, it's going to be weaker due to the time I spent doing homework/essays/outlines/journalism. Wow, I forgot to get this chapter ready for Halloween. Sorry about that guys. Wow, lots of arguments and references to previous chapters.

Brooke and Dakota are the only things I own, ANYTHING else mentioned is NOT mine.

"Give it back!"

"No!"

"It's mine!"

"No!"

"Shut up you two!" Romano yelled at Brooke and China. Spain continued singing a random song softly.

"No!" the two yelled simultaneously.

"That's mine!"

"No!"

"MINE!"

"NO!"

"Shut the bloody hell up!" England scolded loudly from his seat at the kitchen table.

"MINE!"

"NO!"

"Order, order!" Prussia barked in vain. Italy was waving his white flag sobbing, Germany slammed his door shut upstairs, Russia was watching the situation happily, France had ran outside at the start of the argument and Canada turned up the volume on the TV.

Ding dong.

Dakota hurried out of the room over to the front door, hoping for divine intervention in the argument over the stuffed animal cat. She opened the door and stepped outside, closing the door quickly.

"Thank goodness you are here, I need more man power to settle an argument." Dakota thanked the deliveryman, who was shocked at the praise. He never got thanked for these packages, most of the time he was cursed at, almost killed or injured by something or someone.

"Uh...sure?" he said in amazement and handed over the signature pad and manuals.

Alfred F. Jones: User Guide and Manual

Kiku Honda: User Guide and Manual

"Oh darn, I was hoping for Switzerland." Dakota said, handing back the pad. "I guess America and Japan are fine though."

"You'll need good luck to deal with those." Deliveryman said, regaining his memory of model phrases.

"Psh, I have to deal with the rest of the Allies and Axis plus Tomboy!Fem Prussia, Canada, Romano, and my sister on a daily basis. America and Japan won't be the biggest trouble makers." Dakota shook a loose piece of hair out of her face.

The deliveryman wisely left then as he heard a large crash and various shouts and screams from inside the house. Dakota paled.

"America! Japan! Get up!" Dakota yelled and kicked both crates hard. "Get up, get up, get up, get up!"

She regretted not looking at all at the manuals for a second, before deciding that immediate action was truly necessary.

"America! I need a Hero!" Dakota screamed. One box had its top punched of and America kicked down a side. "Japan, I need your help as well!"

"What might it be?" Japan asked, ninja appearing next to Dakota. She noticed France cowering behind a tree.

"I think the Iroquois called it, 'aggressive neutrality'." Dakota stated and opened the door into chaos.

Also seen as, China attacking England who was allied with Prussia and other countries all over the place in various levels of engagement in the fight, with some others not immediately visible but very audible. Such as Romano's, Canada's, and the TV's loud, colorful swearing or shouting in multiple languages. Japan and America immediately entered the fray to restrain China and England. Prussia was trying to disengage from the fight as soon as the door opened, remembering a promise made a few days ago not to get into fights.

"The bookcase broke again." Romano stated over his shoulder as he was trying to comfort his crying brother and get him out from under the table.

"I'm okay too!" Brooke said, coming out from her hiding place beneath the table. Italy was then dragged out by the two and put in a righted kitchen chair as he was still hysterical.

"Where's the cat?" Dakota demanded. Russia held up the offending stuffed animal by it's tail. Dakota took it from him.

"What are you going to do with it aru?" China asked, ceasing his struggling against Japan with a scared expression.

"I'm going to get rid of this if you two are going to fight over it!" Dakota replied. Brooke's face matched China's in disbelief.

"No! You can't do that!" Brooke whined.

"Italy, here you go." Dakota handed the still sobbing Italian the toy.

"Vee...grazie." Italy smiled and cuddled the stuffed animal. Brooke and China stared in disbelief at the situation.

"It is for the best," Spain said. "You two were arguing like chico."

"I am not childish!" China squirmed in outrage.

"China-san, prease carm down!" Japan said, still attempting to restrain the irate Oriental nation.

"All I was doing was defending Brooke!" England objected to his restraining.

"America, you can let him go." Dakota said. America let go of England, who promptly stood up straight and smoothed out invisible wrinkles in his shirt. He gave a stink-eye at the younger country.

"Git."

"China, calm down; you have other stuffed animals." Dakota said. "You are making a fool of yourself."

Japan released China, who disappeared to sulk. France returned inside and Canada turned down the TV volume. America noticed the other blond lounging on the couch with the TV remote.

"Hey Canada! Anything good on?" America plopped down next to the other North American country.

"No. Your shows are crap." Canada said, changing channels.

"Yours are no better." America retorted.

"Mine are better than yours America." England boasted.

"I like Doctor Who and Torchwood." Prussia stated. "But some of the others..."

"No one has perfect TV." Spain replied. "That is why getting outside is much better."

"I agree with Nincompoop." Brooke stated.

"See? Méjicoeven agrees with me." Spain smiled.

"I am not Mexico!" Brooke argued.

"And here we go again." Canada said bored already.

"Enough arguing Brooke!" Romano yelled, already trying to fix the bookcase. Again.

"Every time you argue, the bookcase suffers." Russia stated, sitting down on one of the chairs watching everyone like the stalker he was.

"Oh. You have Russia here too." America noticed the pale-haired man. He waved. "Hi."

"привет Америки." Russia replied. The room held in its breath in the pause that followed.

America, however, grinned happily. "You might want to speak in English, I don't think some others here understood you Россия."

"Да, да. I understand America." Russia gave his creepy head-tilt smile. Dakota quickly opened America's manual and scanned the page. Apparently America was a walking translator for a large number of languages. Who knew?

"Hey, Halloween is right around the corner isn't it?" America asked the assembled group.

"Yeah, why don't I like that look in your eyes?" Dakota asked, eyeing the blond carefully.

"We are on the Eastern Seaboard! You mean you don't like Haunted Halloweens?" America asked. "Absurd!"

"You are just the least likely person to suggest something like that." England stated.

"No, he really isn't." Canada replied. "Scare the heck out of teens, get candy; it's everything he likes to do."

America gave a warning glare at the Canadian.

"Enough arguing," Japan stated and went to go see if he could help with the bookcase.

"Wait, how many sibling pairs do we have?" Brooke asked.

"Uh...everyone except Spain and Russia have siblings here." Dakota said after pausing to think.

"That's actually a relief you don't have either of Russia's." Prussia stated.

"Why?" Brooke asked.

"Belarus is a knife-wielding, incest-driven maniac." Prussia replied.

"Ukraine has a bit of another problem." Russia continued. The others in the room looked at the tall northern country curious. "With the accidental radiation; she is not mentally older."

"Poor girl; mentally a child, physically a well-endowed woman," Dakota said, sympathizing with the 'older' sister to Russia. "Fans get her so very, very wrong."

A few sympathetic nods and curious looks accompanied Dakota's statement, but no one pushed further on the topic. Talking about Russia was like walking on thin ice, you never knew when it was going to break.

Besides, the bookcase wasn't fixed yet.

A/N: Done! CanDoAnything has an interesting view point on why Ukraine acts like she does. I expect Chapter Eight to be out later this week and possibly Chapter Nine might tag along if I finish them quickly enough! Also, chapters will be shorter from here on out. I'll try to write them faster, but I'm also trying to map out the HetaOni mansion on MS Paint so I don't forget a whole bunch of rooms. I'll post it on my DeviantART (under the same name) when I'm finished, but it will be really a really shoddy job.

Read and Review please! It's really encouraging! :D
