A/N I'm back~

England: It's about time! America, the frog, and I have been unconscious for over a week to the followers!

Maria: I brought the nations don't worry, I'm here to save you guys.

America: Heh, she should get hero training from me!

England: *smacks him with a newspaper*

Me: ...and there's...some more usuk...*hoping they didn't hear.*

England and Alice: WHAT?!

America and Emily: *about to protest but then see the English nations' faces* HAHAHAHAAAA!

France: Ohonhonhon~

Me:...Anyway, next chapter. It's a bit long...

Maria parked Patricia's car along the side of the road in the middle of a forest, and the car following her did the same. The trees cast strange shadows over the road, and it was much gloomier than before they had entered the woods. Maria shivered, for it was colder now that the sun was hidden completely.

Once they had huddled together into a clump, Maria said, "I'm sure some of them have already been given the drug, so we should keep an eye out for the antidote." She gestured to the shady road ahead. "Further down is the building where everyone is being kept. First, we must get past the guards which stand at the entrance to the parking lot. There are also probably people guarding the front entrance."

Russia smiled and pulled out his sinkpipe. "I will just bash their skulls in, it is no problem!"

Veneziano hid behind Germany.

"Let's...try not to kill them," Maria suggested. "But if you could knock them out, then great."

He looked slightly disappointed but nodded. The group walked down for about five minutes before hiding at the edge of the forest. They peered through the branches and saw said guards.

"Alright, just go and-." Maria said as she turned to face Russia. She saw nothing but bushes and undergrowth. "Where did he go?" The others turned and saw he wasn't there.

"There he is!" China pointed to the guards. He had somehow gotten over to them without anyone noticing. He was currently hiding behind the box which one of the guards sat in, guarding the buttons which triggered the alarm and let cars through.

In one swift movement, he reached in through the open window and pressed down on a part of the guard's neck. He slumped back against his chair. Luckily, the other two guards didn't notice. Russia snuck around the back side of the box and clapped his hand over the mouth of the nearest guard. He was rendered unconscious in the same way. With only one guard remaining, he "lightly" clipped his head with his sinkpipe, and he collapsed.

Once all three were out cold, the nations clamboured out of the forest and over to Russia. He adjusted his scarf slightly and said, "What next?"

"There might be guards at the entrance, but I'm not sure," Maria said.

"I'll check, you all stay here, da?" With that, he was flying toward the building. He vanished around the corner.

They all waited in silence. They all jumped when they heard a scream of pain. "At least we know what he is doing," muttered China.

Soon they saw Russia reappear near the building. He nodded at them to come. Once they had reached him, Germany asked, "What did you do to them?"

"I just knocked them out. Except for one."

"What did you do to that one?" Spain asked suspiciously.

"Oh, he tried to shoot me, so I swung my sinkpipe at his hand to knock away his gun and I broke his hand as well. Then I knocked him out."

"Well, I guess it's safe now," Prussia said.

"No," they heard a voice say. They turned to look and were slightly surprised to see a nation with strong resemblance to America, except he was holding a small white bear.

"Canada," Russia smiled.

"Listen," he whispered, "How will we get in? We can't just waltz in there!" They were shocked to hear anger in his voice. "They will recognize us! Then, they'll make us lose our memories, too, and we won't remember that we have sisters!"

Spain looked at the unconscious guards and smiled. "I have an idea."

The nations walked into the building, hoping desperately that their plan would work. They had, with some difficulty, managed to slip on the uniforms of the unconscious guards, except for Maria, who kept on her black dress. Spain and Prussia each took one of her arms and escorted her roughly into the building, followed by the rest of the nations. Prussia got the attention of the first nurse he saw, saying, "We've got a runaway here. Can you take us to her cell room?"

"Actually," the nurse said, "I'll take you to the laboratory where they are giving them injections. Subject P is the last who needs to be given the drug."

As the nurse and the nations walked, the nurse said, "Thank goodness you found her. Subjects A and E either didn't know where she had gone or weren't telling us." The nurse rounded a corner and walked up to a door which was labeled, 'Lab 10'.

"In here," she said, unlocking it and opening it for them. Prussia and Spain nodded to her and they and the nations walked into the dark room. They all had to work hard to keep straight faces; what they saw scared them. There were two young women strapped to chairs on opposite sides of the room, both unconscious. The Boss turned to face them and grinned slightly.

"I see you have found and succesfully returned the missing Subject. Good work." Luckily, the dimness of the light and his sunglasses prevented him from recognizing them. "Bring her to me."

Spain and Prussia hesitated for a second, but walked Maria over to the man. "Put her in the chair," he ordered. They strapped her in.

"Now, Madison," he pivoted to face the nurse, "give me the needle."

Madison stepped forward. She looked at Prussia's and Maria's pleading face. She knew who they were. She looked back at the Boss.

"No."

She let the syringe drop and the glass shattered on the floor, splattering it with the blue liquid.

The Boss didn't even flinch. "Escort Madison into a vacant cell," he called to the doctors behind him. "I will deal with her later." When nothing happened, he turned around to look behind him. All the doctors and nurses who had stood by to observe, including Patricia, were laying in a heap. The nations had used various techniques they had learned throughout the years to silently render each person unconscious. Now, only the Boss, Madison, and the nations remained in the room. The Boss finally recognized them and his eyebrows shot up in shock.

Maria said, "Do you think you guys can take him out?"

"I'll do the honors," Prussia said, cracking his knuckles. He was going to hurt my sister. My sister.

The Boss backed away quickly. Though he put on quite a show to scare his employees into obedience, he was truly a coward. In his haste, he stumbled into China, who pushed him away. The Boss turned in time to see a fist flying right at him. He collapsed onto the floor and his suglasses flew off, revealing that his eyes were completely normal.

The nations all turned and looked at Madison. "Why did you help us?" Spain asked.

"I'm undercover, a member a secret agency of Britain," she said.

"How come you gave the drug to everyone else then?" Romano objected.

"I was waiting for the right moment. Had I refused, I would have ultimately been discovered."

"We need to move," Germany interrupted. "Workers could come in at any second. Are we taking her with us?"

The nations nodded.

"Alright then. Where are France, America, and England?"

"I will show you." She walked to the back of the room, followed by the others, and opened a door to a closet. She wheeled out the three sleeping nations who were each on a seperate gurney. They crowded around them, and Maria called, "Hey! Does anyone want to get me outta this thing?"

Prussia hurried back and unlocked her restraints. "Danke, bruder."

"Kesesese~ no problem."

They walked back to the crowd of nations.

"How do we wake them up?" Japan asked.

Madison took a small vile from her pocket which was filled with a powdery orange substance. "If they smell this, they will wake right up, but they'll still be loopy, and might have a headache since we gave them a strong dose of a drug which knocks them right out." She uncapped the vile and put it under each of their noses in turn. They immediately began to stir.

America woke up first. He groaned and put a hand over his eyes as he sat up. "Agh...my head..."

"A-america?" Veneziano said.

He removed his hand from his eyes and looked around, confused. "Hey, what are you all doing here? Wait, where am I?" He looked at Maria. "Who is she?"

Maria frowned. "Well, we know it worked."

England yawned and sat up, immediately noticed he was surrounded by his fellow nations. "What the bloody hell is going on?"

France woke up last, stretching. "Why are you all here, mes amis?" he asked, not in the least bit concerned.

"There is a truck outside we can use," Madison said to the surrounding nations. "Once we have gotten away from here, I will give you all the antidote."

"Then let's help them get there, aru," China said.

"What? Psh, we don't need help!" said America. He swung his legs over the side of the gurney and hopped off. His legs nearly collapsed, but he caught himself by grabbing the side of the gurney. "What the Hell?"

"You're weak," Madison told him. "Everything will be explained soon." Japan and China stepped forward and let America lean on them for support.

"Some of us need to go get Emily and Alice," Maria said. Russia and Canada followed her back over to the sleeping girls.

"So," Canada asked Maria, "Alice is England's sister and Emily is Al's sister, eh?"

"Yes."

They all worked on loosening the straps, and they soon had freed them. Canada picked up Emily and Russia carried Alice. As they brought them over to the others, Canada looked at Emily's peaceful face. She really does resemble Al, he thought. Prussia and Spain were helping France and England was leaning on Germany and Veneziano, who had wanted to help Germany despite his fear of England.

They all walked through a door on the side of the room and into the brightness of daytime. They squinted and continued on for a minute until they had reached the grassy section near the edge of the parking lot.

Madison said, "I'll fetch the truck."

"Wait," Maria said, "can you give me that vile you used so I can wake up Emily and Alice?"

She smiled and handed it to her before beginning to jog over to the truck at the far end of the lot.

America, England and France sat down on the ground about thirty feet from Maria and the sleeping girls.

Maria waved the vial under their noses and they woke up right away. The look on both their faces was pure confusion.

"Where am I?" said Alice. "...Who am I?"

Emily said, "I can't remember. Why can't we remember anything?"

Maria looked at them sadly. "Your name is Alice and yours is Emily. I will tell you more later." She left them sitting on the grass and walked over to Prussia, who stood behind the three who were sitting down. America looked around and his eyes caught onto the two girls sitting across the lawn. He beckoned for Prussia to come over.

"Who are they?"

"The one with the blue dress and pigtails is Alice, and the girl with short hair is Emily," he answered.

"Alice is adorable!"

Prussia sounded his famous cackle and Maria covered her mouth with both hands, attempting to stifle her laughter.

Then, she had an amazing Idea.

Still laughing, she tugged on her brother's sleeve and led him over to where the others couldn't hear. "I have the perfect idea for a prank!" she said, her eyes shining with excitement. "We should tell America and Alice that they are dating, and England and Emily that they are dating!"

Prussia smiled broadly. "Kesesese~ you are my sis!"

They walked back over to where America and England were sitting, catching the last parts of their conversation.

America said,"...Alice, the one with the blue dress, am I right?"

England replied, "I think...Emily...is cute." He blushed furiously and America smiled at him.

"England, America." Prussia called their attention, attempting a straight face. They turned around, still in a sitting position, and looked up at him.

"We have decided it would be okay to tell you both that you are in relationships and you forgot about them when your memories were wiped. America, you are going out with Alice. England, you are going out with Emily."

Both gaped, one from pure shock and the other from happiness.

Maria jogged over to Emily and Alice, who were having almost the exact conversation.

"...Yeah, the guy with the glasses, he was staring at you!" Emily winked at Alice.

"Oh," Alice blushed. "I guess...he is pretty cute."

"I think the guy with the scruffy hair is hot!"

Maria kneeled down and they looked at her.

"We've decided it would be okay to tell you both that before you lost your memories, you were in relationships with those two." She pointed to America and England. "Alice is dating Alfred, the taller one with the brown jacket, and Emily is dating Arthur, the dude with the big eyebrows."

They both blushed.

"So...what now?" Emily asked.

"We told them the same thing," she said. "You should go talk to them. Can you walk?"

Emily jumped right up, only wobbling a little. Alice hesitantly got up. They've recovered quickly, Maria thought as she led them over to their 'boyfriends'.

Alfred clapped Arthur on the shoulder and said, "They're comin' over here!" They got up and helped Arthur up, who straightened his tie and brushed himself, much to the amusement of Alfred. They went to go meet their 'girlfriends'.

Emily was the first to speak. "Well, howdy Arthur!"

"Hello, Emily." So she's..American?

"...Apparently we're going out?"

"That's what I'm told," he grinned a little. "I suppose if we lost our memories we should try reforming the relationship by talking?"

"Sure!"

Alfred's and Alice's initial conversation went similarly.

Alfred said, "Hey, Alice!"

"...Hi," she said shyly.

"Wow," he said, looking through her glasses, "Your eyes are beautiful!"

"Oh," she smiled a little and her face turned dark pink. "Thank you, Alfred."

"So, you are from England?" he said, noticing the accent?

"I...don't really remember but I suppose I must be." She smiled up at him. "Maybe we should talk and try to remember?"

"Good idea!" They started chatting away.

Meanwhile, Maria and Prussia were getting the others in on the joke. Russia, Romano, Spain, China, Veneziano, Japan, and France went along with it fairly willingly. When Prussia asked Germany, he frowned and said, "I don't think this is a good idea."

"Oh c'mon, West!"

He sighed. "...Fine."

When Maria asked Canada, he widened his eyes. "What? But, I don't want Al to regain his memory and then be confused or embarrased!"

Maria said, "Don't worry. Emily told me that she actually did have a crush on England, and Alice liked your bro, but she told me she mustn't tell anyone, so keep this a secret! Also, I noticed the guys trying to make them feel better when we were stuck in the cells. I'm sure they have crushes on them as well, so all is fine!"

Canada didn't look very convinced, but his resistance crumbled when Maria did her puppy dog face. "Oh,..okay."

"Yay, thanks Canada!" she hugged him quickly before jogging away.

Canada stood frozen to the spot. He didn't get hugs often, since people didn't remember him, but he decided he liked hugs.

By the time the truck had wheeled up to the group, both couples were very comfortable wih each other, as if they had known each other for many years. Madison opened the door to the enormous trunk, revealing it was actually more like an RV in the interior; there were cabinets lining the walls near the back and in front there were several beds, alond with a few lamps and flashlights. Everyone climbed in and took a seat somewhere.

Alfred sat down on a bed on the left side of the truck with Alice and he slung his arm around her shoulder. She snuggled up to him.

Emily and Arthur walked in holding hands and sat on the bed to the right of the other couple.

The reunited Prussian siblings sat across from the lovebirds, admiring their handiwork.

Once everyone had gotten settled, the door was shut and Madison began driving away. The guards hadn't reawakened and were laying unconscious on the side of the road, in their underwear. The vehicle breezed by them, driving around the board, which was down at the moment. Everyone cheered when they reached the highway. Prussia was slightly concerned about leaving his car behind, but Maria convinced him that they would come back for it.

"We should go to the highest authorities in the area," Japan suggested.

"As in...the Queen?!" Maria said.

"I'm sure England can help us set up an appoinment."

England blinked and shot an annoyed look at Japan, tilting his head at Emily. "It's Arthur."

"Or Iggy," Emily smiled. "Can I call you that?"

Before he could respond, Alfred said, "Yes, call him that! He says he doesn't like it but he actually does."

Arthur rolled his eyes at the young nation.

They drove on for away, eventually arriving in a vacant parking lot. Madison parked the vehicle and walked into the back. "Are you all ready to remember everything?"

They all nodded and some called out, "Yes!"

Arthur gave Emily's hand a reassuring squeeze and she looked lovingly at him. Alice snuggled closer to Alfred and he grinned.

Maria and her bro looked at each other, seemingly thinking the same thing: Why won't they just kiss already?!

"I'm going to release a chemical into the air," said Madison. "You all need to breathe in deeply through your nose." She took out a large vial filled with a clear, watery substance. "Here goes nothing." She pulled off the cork and the room was filled with a scent similar to clean laundry. The nations breathed it in and saw lights of all colors flash before their eyes. They clutched at their heads.

Their memories were returning at last.
