"It was you! It was all you this entire time! I remember now! SWEDEN!" Finland cried as he threw himself into his husband's arms with such force that they both toppled over and landed on the grass.

"Hello m' wife."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Sweden, I'm so confused…what on earth happened? What was that curse that hit ya? Why were ya an 8 ball? How come I wasn't able to remember about ya until now?"

Sweden gazed up into those lost-looking brown eyes. So lovely…it'd been forever since he'd gotten to look at them properly and not through weird, blurry 8 ball vision.

"Sweden?"

"Cute…"

"Ah, I'm sorry! You've been stuck in there all this time and the first thing I do is tackle ya and ask ya a bazillion questions. Here, I'll get off of ya-"

"Nh." Sweden pulled Finland back down and locked his arms around him "Ya can stay where ya are."

Finland smiled as he settled his head onto Sweden's chest. "Silly Swedish snuggle-monster, ya haven't changed a bit, have ya?"

"Not really."

"That's okay, ya don't need to change. I love ya just the way ya are, just like this."

"Good, because 'm not going into a Magic 8 Ball again."

"HOLY MARTIN F(REPRODUCING) LUTHER I THREW YA OFF OF MOUNT HALTI! Oh Sweden I'm so sorry! I'm a terrible lover! I should've remembered, I can't believe I let the curse take all my memories of us away-"

He's blaming himself...I should've known he would do this...

"And then I locked ya in a closet and-"

Actually I wouldn't mind doing that part again as long as Fin was locked in there with me...

"-can't believe I didn't recognize ya! And in the dream form even..."

Dream form...good times. I'd like some more kisses actually, where around here can I find a rainbow fountain and some theme music?

Finland sat up and started crying "...And all that after ya had sacrificed yourself to save me! I'm the worst spouse ever, forgive me Sweden!"

Finland crying = Unacceptable

Putting operation "Find rainbow fountain to promote the occurrence of kisses" has been put on hold.

Primary objective has switched to "Stop dear sweet true love Finland from being sad".

Finland sadness elimination commencing...

Sweden sat up and held Finland close to him, letting his wife cover his suit jacket with tears.

"So," Sweden started "Ya want to hear a crazy story?"

Finland sniffled "Okay my love…" he replied with a weak, shaky voice.

"Alright then," It would be difficult for Sweden to say more than three sentences within a short time period, but for his true love, he would try.

"Here's m' story. A long time ago I was working at Denmark's house. I didn't like it, but I'm glad it happened, because that was where I met Finland. And I liked Finland."

Sweden looked back at his wife's face. The tears seemed to be abating a bit, so he kept going.

"I liked Finland because he was cheerful, friendly and had a giving heart. Finland was nice t' everybody, even t' me, even though I made life awkward for him-"

"No ya didn't-"

"Yah I did."

"Well, maybe a little-"

"A lot. Now hush m' love, 'm telling ya a story. Finland cared about others a lot. He'd do things like work unpaid overtime to make Christmas happen for everybody and turn off the heat in his home to pay for his sick reindeers' vet bill."

WARNING! SWEDEN IS SAYING TOO MANY WORDS.

Too many words = system overload probable

Irrelevent, switch to back up power. I need to say this.

Back up power = coming online…

"I realized I loved Finland. So I asked him to marry me, and he agreed. That cinnamon shaker never had a chance…"

Finland laughed a bit and gave him a shaky smile.

"Right after that, on the happiest night of m' life, I got hit with a curse that turned me into a Magic 8 Ball. I didn't like that. And it erased Finland's memories of us. I liked that even less…

But not even that terrible curse could make Finland forget me entirely. Finland remembered something, and no matter how much it hurt him, he refused to forget. Finland loved me, even though I was ridiculous looking and mostly useless. Because Finland loved me for what was inside my heart, he was able to break the spell. That is why Finland is my one true love, and why the thing that makes me most happy in this world is seeing him happy."

BACK UP POWER DEPLETED

I hope that worked.

"Sweden…" Finland's eyes were dry now and his smile had returned.

Operation successful.

Now recharging power in order to resume operation "Find rainbow fountain to promote the occurrence of ki-"

"SWEDEN I MISSED YA SO MUCH!" Finland threw his arms around his husband's neck.

Hold that thought, rainbow fountain may not be necessary.

"I missed ya too, m' wife."

"But you're here now. And we're married! We're finally married Sweden!"

"Yah."

"This is the best! This is the best thing ever! Though," Finland turned pink "I…this is probably a silly question yah? But, umm…ya won't disappear or turn into an 8 Ball if I kiss ya again…will ya?"

"No. I won't."

"Are ya sure? I mean I want to kiss ya but to be honest with ya I'm a little worri-oh!"

WARNING! FINLAND'S CUTENESS HAS PUT SELF-RESTRAINT SYSTEMS OFFLINE.

KISS INEVITABLE.

That warning came a bit late,Sweden thought as grabbed his wife by the collar and pulled him into a kiss.

Finland gasped as their lips came together. At first he was frozen, too shocked and thrilled to respond. Then after a few seconds he closed his eyes and kissed his husband back

So warm, so very warm... Finland had never felt so safe, so wanted or so loved as he did right then. As Sweden slipped his arms around his waist, Finland felt himself falling farther and farther into a huge foofbag chair of affection.

This is so strange...I feel like our souls are melting into each other like when ya put cookies too close together on a cookie sheet and then their edges start to mold into one.

Cookies...always my mind goes back to food, I'm so silly!

But this is nice yah? It somehow feels like this was my heart's destiny to begin with...to become one with Sweden's heart. This is what I want...

This is all that I want…

"Sweden?" Finland asked as their faces came apart "I know you're not an 8 Ball anymore, but can I still ask ya a question about the future?"

"Of course."

"Can we stay like this forever?"

"Hmm…" Sweden had a rare small smile on his face as he smoothed Finland's hair and looked deep into those bright brown eyes.

"…signs point to yah."

Meanwhile in dead person land, Russia asked Roman Empire a question he would rather not give the answer to.

"So I know I vas basically being a massive jerk-bucket vhen I vas alive, so vhat kind of future has the bad karma carved out for my afterlife?"

"Eh…" Roman Empire almost felt pity for the ruthless Russian as he pictured the horrendous scene.

A bright red Magic 8 Ball was plowing through the snow at top speed in absolute terror.

"Big Brother!" A blue furby with a white bow on its head chased after the Magic 8 Ball. "Big Brother…let me kiss you! Become one with me and the kiss of true love will return us to our original forms…"

"…better not a tell you now…"
