Chapter 9: Ivan's Reign

Ever since Peter left, and Ivan became the new king, things aren't going well in Country Town. The entire land becomes a horrible winter wasteland. But to Ivan, it looks like Winter Paradise to him. The worthless nations surround the Country Towns with their firearms loaded. Then we transition to Ivan, who is just lounging around in his new room, while Roderich was trapped in the jail cell, singing "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen".

"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows my sorrow"

"Come on, Roderich, do lighten up a little, da? Sing something with a little…bounce on it" Ivan requested. Then Roderich sing another

"Draw a circle, there's Earth, Draw a cir-"

Ivan cutted him off shouting, "NYET! Nyet!, Anything but that"

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. Deedle dee dee. There they are a-standing in a row"

Ivan like this kind of song, he join along

"Bum, bum, bum, bum"

Ivan's scarf picks up a skull and uses it to make the jaw move.

"Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head!"

Roderich stopped singing, looking down with definitely sorrow. "Oh, I would never have had to do this for Berwald." Ivan lunges at him, causing Roderich to back up, with fear.

"What?! What did you say?" Ivan furiously asked looking straight at Roderich

"Nothing"

"You know the law, never, ever mention that name in my presence. I AM THE KING!"

"Yes, sire, you are the king. I…I… Well, I just only mentioned it to illustrate the difference in your royal managerial approaches." Roderich laughed nervously. Then the BTT Trio walked into the mansion

"Hey, boss!" Gilbert said offscreen

Ivan nose bridge pinch with annoyance, "Proklyat'ye, what is it this time?"

Gilbert walk closer to Ivan "We got a bone to pick with you" Francis interrupt Gilbert's rant

"Mon ami, let me handle this. Ivan, there's no food, no water, and no shelter." Ivan roll his eyes, still annoyed

"Yeah, it's dinnertime, and we got ain't no freaking entrees!" Gilbert finished

"It's the female nation's job to do the cooking, and the gathering." Ivan replied

"Yeah, but they won't go searching, nor hunting" Gilbert complained

"Proklyat'ye…Why not use Roderich's stuff instead" said Ivan gesturing Roderich cause him shock in surprise.

"What?! Oh, you can't do that, I was practicing my violin lessons." said the frighten Austrian

"Don't be ridiculous, da? I was gonna save them for my upcoming announcement for the future." Ivan continues

"Geez, I thought things were bad enough under Berwald" said Gilbert, before Ivan suddenly appeared when he mention the forbidden name "Berwald"

"What did you say?" Francis noticed the king's anger, while Gilbert continued talking. "I say Berwa-" Francis nudges Gilbert to get the point. Gilbert looked at the Russian's angry face, muffling "kolkolkolkol", causing Gilbert to completely change the subject. "I mean, I meant to say, uh… "Bird Walt?" Francis and Gilbert smile innocently

"Good, now get out" Ivan commanded. The BTT trio walked away, they pause for a few second

"Yeah, But we're still starving"

"NOW!"

The BTT trio flee away. Then we cut back to the forests at night. The stars were shining, and the animals were sleeping, until a huge burp echoed into the sky. And it revealed it was Peter, lying down with his new balkan friends, looking at the stars.

"Wow, nice one, Peter." said Vladimir

"Thanks, Man, I'm stuffed" said Peter

"Boy, you aren't kidding. That red grubs that me on that one" Boris replied

"I couldn't say more. Also, those were chili peppers bugs" said Vladimir

"Oh, I know something is wrong with my stomach," said Boris. The trio sigh contently, looking at the stars, causing Boris to have a question.

"Vlad"

"Yeah?"

"Ever wonder what those sparkling dots are up there?" Boris asked

"Boris, I don't wonder, I know" Vladimir answered

"Then what are they?" Boris asked

"They're fireflies, Fireflies that uhh,... got stuck in the big, night sky." Vladimir answered pointing to the stars

"Really? I always thought they were big balls of gas, burning billions of mile aways" Boris corrected, "What do you think, Peter?"

Peter look mildly concerned "Well, I don't know"

"Oh, come on" Boris said

"Well, come on, Peter, give, give, give!" Vladimir shouted. After some pleading and more pleading, Peter reluctantly accepted

"Okay. Well, somebody once told me that The Great Nations of the Past are up there, watching over us?" Peter explained

"Wow, really?" said Boris

"You mean a bunch of strong dead nations are watching us" said Vladimir before laughing his ass off. "Yeah, right!" he continued laughing, along with Boris. Peter only laughs half-heartedly, because he doesn't want to insult his father.

""Who told you something like that" Vladimir said before continue laughing

"Yeah, yeah" Peter said guilty

"What kind of mook made that up?" he continue laughing

"Yeah, pretty dumb, huh?" Peter reluctantly said

Vladimir couldn't hold his laughter that long as he hold his groin "Oh, you're killing me, Peter"

"Yeah…." said the now grown but saddened micronation (or should I say nation). Then Peter stares at the stars for a few moments before walking away. The balkan duo look at each other with confusion

"What it something I said?" Vladimir asked

Peter walked to his new home, heading to his new bedroom. He looks up at the stars, still knowing the fact that his life isn't the same with Berwald. All the time he raised him, protected him, and played with him, everything was gone from his life. So to rest his sadden memories, he decided to take the rest. He plops himself into the bed, leaving one of his hair pieces flying through the window and drifting into the sky. After the long journey, it reached Yao's palace. The Asian old man noticed the hair piece as he grabbed it in the nick of time.

Yao then went to his palace as he began to mix some stuff into the chinese bowl. Then he put the hair pieces in the bowl, and looked carefully. It could only mean one thing.

"Peter?," Yao look at the painting of Peter, "He's alive?," His frown morphs into a smile "H-He's alive!" Yao said excitedly.

He jumped around, cheering, and laughing. All hope for Country Town isn't gone after all. He starts painting the new picture as he continues laughing. Then he stopped laughing as he finished his painting, he smiled with glee.

"It is time" said Yao. Then the screen shows the new painting of Peter who is now an grown up

A/N: This is the shortest scene (or in this case Chapter) I've ever written. Also, I did the reference to the Hetalia's first ED.

Translation Words:
- проклятье (Proklyt'yat'ye) - means "Goddamn it" or "Dang it"
