Kaliningrad walks into the house with enthusiasm. She runs around, seeing things that she used to play with. She goes into the main room where she is soon joined by Prussia. She spins around in a circle. "Isn't it great?" She states. Prussia sets his things down and nods.
"Ja. It is great. But maybe not awesome. Not as awesome as me." He says quietly. He looks around in awe. Everything in the house is a dark red. It puts him on edge to see so much of one color.
Yelena glances around the room and giggles. "I've always loved dark red. It's so vivid." She says.
Prussia nods. He then remembers something. "Do you have a boss? Or will the awesome me need to play that role?" He asks her with a smile.
Yelena thinks. "Yes, in fact, I do have a boss. I think his name is Serezha." She says. She thinks back to those few days before the meeting. 'I wonder how I'm supposed to contact him.' She thinks.
Just then, the phone rings.
3 Days ago…
Serezha wakes up in his hotel room. 'What mess did I get myself into?' He thinks as he rubs his head. He gets up and dresses himself. Serezha looks in the mirror at himself. "I hope this is okay." He says.
He gets his things together and checks out of his room. He walks down the street to the building that only the day before he had been shocked to the point of speechlessness. He sees a sleek, black car with tinted windows. There was no one else around except for him and the car.
He cautiously walks up to the car, not knowing what to do. The back window rolls down slightly.
"Are you Serezha?" A voice says. Serezha gives a curt nod. "Get in." The voice says.
The door opens and he gets into the car. He looks over at the man across from him as the door is closed. The man speaks to him again.
"Let's talk about Kaliningrad…"

Yelena picks up the phone. "Hello?" She says quietly.
"Is this Yelena Braginski?" A familiar voice says in Russian.
"Yes. "
"Thank god. I've called this number over three times now and it hasn't picked up."
"Uh, excuse me, but who is this?" She asks.
"Oh, sorry Ms. This is Serezha." Now Yelena understands.
"Hello Serezha! How have you been?" She says quickly with a stronger voice.
"I'm doing well. I need to talk with you in person. When can I come by?" Serezha asks.
"Tomorrow is good. I'm getting settled in. See you soon!" Yelena says enthusiastically.
"I'll come by around 3. Good bye Yelena." At that, he hangs up. Yelena puts down the phone.
Prussia stares at her. "Who was that?" He asks. Even though he knew some Russian, he couldn't decipher what Yelena had been saying. Russian just wasn't as awesome as German.
"That was Serezha. My boss." She says.
"Oh, him. What did he say?"
"He's coming tomorrow to speak with me." She says happily. Prussia frowns.
"And you trust this man?"
"Well, I guess. My people are happy with him. So I am too." Yelena says.
Prussia shrugs. "He's not as awesome as me." He looks at his things. "I need to unpack my awesome stuff." He says. Yelena looks at him.
"Do you need help?"
"Sure, I always accept help from my awesome little sister!" He says. Yelena nods and runs around the house. Prussia looks at her confused as she runs off.
Yelena runs down the halls and through rooms looking for something. Then she finds it. "Gilbert! Come here, I found your room." She yells. Soon, Prussia joins her and stares with his mouth open at the room.
The room is dark blue with bookshelves, a computer desk, a dresser, and a king sized bed. All the furniture is matching and the bed has more pillows than a pillow store. Prussia drops his things and walks into the room. "This. Is. Awesome." He mutters. Yelena smiles.
"I knew you would like it." She says. "Now let's unpack your things."
Prussia turns around and looks at her and he nods. They bring his bags into his room and they start unpacking. One bag in particular, Prussia seems to want her not to touch. He keeps shielding it from her view while he's unpacking it and not letting her touch it when he isn't. Yelena dismisses this as nothing. She continues to unpack and finds some funny things. Like a few of his journals and special toiletries for Gilbird.
As they unpack more and more, Yelena starts becoming more comfortable with her surroundings. She laughs more at Prussia jokes and she thinks she's starting to get used to having a brother. But she still misses Папа. They're almost finished when Yelena hears the doorbell ring.
"One second." She says to Prussia. He nods and keeps unpacking while she goes to the front door wondering whom or what is was. When she gets there, she opens the door and surprisingly finds no one. However, there is a big box. On it, there is a note. It says:
I wanted you to have these.
Love,
Ivan
She brings the package in and, not knowing what to do, doesn't open it. She calls Prussia in to see it. He sees the box and immediately says. "It's from that scumbag Russia! You shouldn't open it. It's probably booby-trapped or something." Yelena nods but she doesn't like the way Prussia said that Russia was a scumbag. They leave it in the main room where she brought it in. They go back to Prussia room and finish unpacking. Prussia says he needs to check something online. Yelena leaves and goes to the main room where she secretly brings the box back into her room.
Yelena goes back to Prussia's room to find him on his computer looking at something. She walks over to him and looks over his shoulder, finding he is on a site that she can't understand. It's all in German.
"Hey, what is that?" She says. Prussia immediately shuts his laptop and turns around.
"Please, tell me when you come into my room! I don't like surprises." He says. Yelena looks at him.
"Well, what were you looking at?"
"Oh, that was just an awesome website I created."
"Can I see it?"
"No, it's for my awesome eyes only." He says. At that moment, Yelena's stomach growls. Prussia hears it and says, "I'm hungry too! Let's go out to eat. I'm craving Italian."
Yelena nods. They call a cab to take them to the restaurant. Yelena is curious about the pasta Prussia keeps talking about.
"Italy makes it all the time! West loves it." He says.
Yelena and Prussia arrive at the restaurant. They eat and talk. When they are done, Yelena orders dessert because she wants to try gelato.
When the dish arrives, Yelena grins from ear to ear. It's a bowl of what looks like ice cream.
"Not fair!" Prussia whines. "If I had known that gelato was ice cream I would've gotten some too." He says. The waiter looks at him oddly before leaving.
'Strange man, using English.' The waiter thinks.
Yelena tastes the dish and smiles. "It's yummy." She says.
When she finishes, Prussia pays the bill and they go back home. Prussia looks at the clock when they get home.
"Oh, it's 9 pm. You should be getting to bed." He says.
"But I want to stay up." Yelena whines. Prussia shakes his head.
"No, I may be an awesome brother but you need your sleep. I want you to be healthy." Yelena nods sullenly and goes to her room. Prussia bids her good night as she shuts the door. After the door is shut, Yelena remembers the box.
So she uncovers it from where she hid it, and looks at the message again.
I wanted you to have these.
Love,
Ivan
She opens the box. Her eyes are wide. She takes something out of the box. It is a dark red dress. One that she picked out with Russia. Yelena looks in the rest of the box. There are all the clothes she left with Russia. She's glad that he sent them. She almost calls him to thank him herself, but then remembers that she doesn't have his number.
She puts on a nightgown that she found in the box and goes to sleep dreaming about Gilbird, Serezha, Prussia, and Russia.
