I do not own Hetalia okay? I don't honestly have that much to say with this chapter so enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

November 17th 1918

(from the diary of Ivan Braginsky)

Lucille told me some good news today. A date has been declared for me to go to New York. Back to my family. Back to my sisters and my best friend Fredka. She says if all goes well, then we should make it in on December 30th, which caused me to crack a small smile as it is my birthday. I usually did not make much of it, and I would not have myself but Fredka always does. He was always one for celebrations. Part of the reason I love him so. He's a ray of sunshine and happiness in this world. And I guess me introducing Natalya to him was a way to keep it close to me. Not like I can admit to him how I feel anyway. Nor would I want to. I would risk losing the best friend I had ever had.

No one would really have before and well even when I first met him after Mr. Seward hired me, Fredka looked at me like I was something to be destroyed. I wanted to do the same to him. However Mr. Seward forced us to work together and I got to know him better. And I guess that is when the idea to have him meet and possibly date Natalya came into my mind. Honestly kind of surprised me when they married but not so much. I am glad they have each other. He's the ray of sunshine that she needs and she keeps him grounded. I know on this voyage I will not be alone. Apparently Lucille will be coming with me and then will head out to California for her chance to make it as an actress in Hollywood. This surprised me as Paris does have a more artistic culture. She claimed it is because there is no war there that needs it to be rebuilt. And she apparently can support herself as the Bonnefoy family has a good fortune of their own, and Francis joined just to keep up appearances and to keep up with his rival Arthur. It's insane trying to keep up with the Kirkland and Bonnefoy family rivalry, love and drama. But all I can think of is Fredka right now and something keeps telling me he is suffering. If I was there I would make sure nothing like that happened to him ever again. He does not deserve it. His soul is too good. I cannot wait to see his bright smile again. How I have missed it so.

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. I am planning on having some of everyone's back story to this point here a little too, so while being a spin-off it gives a nice background here too. Anyway remember to read (well you just did) and review. Ciao for now,
