It's been a while since we heard from Greenlan's point of view. Let's hear things from her side, shall we?

Greenland's P.O.V.

It was winter now. The first winter I spent in America's house. I liked to think that I got stronger, but I knew there was always room for improvement. I trained as hard as I could. I wanted to become strong so that one day, I would win Denmark back. I missed him terribly. I was never allowed to speak to him during the war. I knew that his economy was suffering. Just the thought of him, all alone and sick, it nearly killed me. I wanted him to come home so badly…

America and I walked towards the meeting room. It was December now. Russia had long since lost his fight with Sweden and Finland. I knew I wasn't supposed to be happy since Russia was my ally, but Finn and Sve where two of my dearest friends. Even if they were cooperating with Germany (though they said they were neutral), I was glad they were ok. I hoped that one day we could all be together again. We would all sit by the fire, and Finland would make his world-famous hot chocolate. Denmark would say something absurd, and Norway would choke him with his own tie. We would all laugh, except Sweden, who would keep a straight face, even though I knew he would be laughing on the inside. Iceland would teach me more about hunting, and we would go ice fishing together and share all sorts of stories and catch up on the time we missed during the war…

"Hey, Greenland," I heard America say, "I'm gonna use the bathroom before the meeting starts. You go on ahead and I'll catch up, 'kay?"

I nodded to him. "Ok." I continued to the meeting room as he directed his course to the men's room.

When I got to the room, I thought my heart would explode from happiness from what I saw; there in that room, talking with Mr. Britain, was Iceland! I could barely contain my excitement as I ran over and threw my arms around him. "Iceland! I thought I would never see you again!"

He seemed shocked at first, but soon realized who I was. I knew Iceland was never much for hugs, but I couldn't resist! He smiled briefly and patted my head. "Hey, Green. How are things?"

I let go and looked up at my old friend. "Much better now that I know you're safe! How have you been? Is everything ok?"

"Yeah. I was just talking with Britain about our trade route."

My chest swelled with excitement. "You're on our side?"

He scowled at me, but I knew he wasn't angry. "I'm only cooperating with the Allies because it's what's best for my people. I'm still neutral."

I calmed down, but I was still happy he was with us. "How is Norway?"

He looked away for a moment. I bit my tongue as I realized I hit a button.

Britain spoke up for him. "Norway… has been invaded by the Axis."

I looked down, realizing why he seemed hurt. Though he would never admit it, Norway was his Big Brother and he loved him. It must have pained him to know he was headed in the same direction as Denmark. I took his hand and tried to give him a smile. "Don't worry… We'll get them back. I'm sure of it."

Iceland's P.O.V.

I looked down at Greenland's warm smile. She seemed so much more mature since I had last seen her, but she still maintained her child-like faith. I never knew quite how she did it. She grew up around men her entire life, yet she always remained so feminine and innocent. Even now, in the middle of a war when our brothers had both been taken from us, she still gave us a reason to look ahead with hope. I couldn't help but return that smile. I knew she was just as scared as I was deep down, but she still had hope. "Thanks, Green."

She hugged me again. "No problem, Ice."

I don't usually like hugs, but for her, I could bear through it just once. I sighed as I returned the embrace before letting go and turning my attention back to more practical things. "Well, the other countries should be here soon. Let's get set up."

"Ok."

America's P.O.V.

I walked back into the meeting room to see that Greenland was reunited with her friend, Iceland. I knew that Britain said he would be at the meeting, but I didn't tell Greenland. I wanted it to be a surprise. She had been training so hard lately, I knew that she would need it. We all took our usual seats. Iceland sat on the other side of Greenland. I knew she was happy to know he was ok, especially with the rumors that Germany had been planning an invasion on his country. Britain had it under control, though. He had troops stationed in Iceland's territory.

As France got up for his turn to speak, I couldn't help but notice Russia eying Greenland. That's when the thought hit me. Russia had just recovered from his loss with Finland. He would be looking for land, and I remembered that he wanted her resources. That, and snagging her would be like a slap in the face for Finland, since the two were pretty close. I had noticed the other countries eyeballing Greenland extra ever since her victory over the obstacle course, but I knew now that Russia was the one I had to be extra vigilant about. I knew he was my ally, and he had lent his assistance in the War, but if there was one thing I would not tolerate, it would be if anyone gave me a reason to think that they would put Greenland in danger. I wouldn't let that happen.

Ever.

Epic foreshadowing! XD Please note, I do not think that Russia is a bad country, but he and America did have a rocky relationship around this time, plus Russia's looking for land. Will Greenland be taken by her own ally? Find out in the next chapter!
