"Aussie!" Max whined flopping onto Austin's side.

"Yes?" The older inquired amused by the behavior.

"The nations are fighting, make them stop" Max asked looking up teary eyed.

Max was someone who needed a lot of sleep and it to be borderline dead silent for him to actually sleep.

"Ok," Austin said with a soft and small smile. He picked up the eight year old and set him on his hip before walking to where a few of the nation sat. They were loud, a little to loud for most of the younger states comfort. They liked quiet after all, they lived in the middle of no where for a reason.

"Excuse me!" He said his voice silenting everyone else's, although the natural softness of the southern accent still made it bearable to hear when shouting, "Could y'all simmer down on the volume, few of the kids are goin' ta bed and need the peace"

"Ah, sorry" Ludwig said for the group. Austin nodded and sent Max off to bed, he was about to turn back himself before someone asked something.

"Why aren't you dead?"

Austin froze before turning back around the face the room, he looked over all of them from over the threshold of the living room where the nation sat.

"Dad is keeping me here, he isn't going to let be leave until the earth blows up. Even then, he'll probably drag me to space with him" Austin said with a laugh.

Ludwig looked deep in thought. "If you're worried 'bout Uncle Gil, trust me Germania ain't gonna let him leave Earth until you do. That man fought god to make that happen." Austin said with a laugh making everyone look at him in shock.

Before they asked questions, "Yes, I've been to the limbo and no I will not tell you how. Good night" Austin said firmly and left the room. Although he left Ludwig with a lot less heavy heart.

"Massa please don't kill him" Maine pleaded as she watched Madison move around the basement room. There where many basements, this was the furthest down basement.

Madison however had a burning fire in her eyes as she stormed around the room grabbing things from shelves. Her two demon-ducklings sat in the corner playing with their toys.

"He INSULTED Austin, OUR big brother" Madison growled with furry in her monotone voice, although to an outsider it would just seem monotoned.

"She is right, Melisa" Lillian rolled her eyes, she was sewing away on a stool. A doll in a certain englishman.

"I think you're overreacting a little bit, Austin isn't frigal anymore. He wasn't even in the room, you don't need to kill him!" Melisa defended, even if she didn't want to.

"Why are you defending him Mal?" Lillian asked looking up, the lobster lover always defended people even if she didn't mean to.

"I just, I. I don't know but you can't kill him!" Melisa insisted, she was truly a gentle person at heart.

"Don't worry Melisa, I only wish to scare" Madison said smoothly, "A scare he will never forget."

"I know him" Arthur said abruptly, "I know that bloody face"

"Ve~? Who?" Feliciano pressed.

"Austin, the republic of texas. I knew him, I met with him during the Civil war." Arthur said grumbling.

"What did you talk about, mate?" Jett asked typing away on his phone, his koala resting on his chest as he sat on the couch.

"I don't remember but I remember something about him, There was a bandage around his eye. When I asked about it, he said the government carved it out. WHat a troubling child, he should be taught a lesson for lying" Arthur sighed.

"Austin is incapable of lying well" Antonio said looking up from his and Gilbert's uno game.

"He lied well then! He needs to be-" A slap.

Antonio glared down at him was a glare that hasn't surfaced since the colonization days, "Never. Talk bad about my sobrino, the kid is too good to lie" The growl came out terrifying, the Spaniard turned on his heel and sat back down.

That was in part true, Austin was a terrible liar. He was raised too well to lie and couldn't handle that sort of thing on his conscious. Even if he did lie he would end up confessing before the turn of the hour. That hadn't changed since he found Austin till he watched the boat with Diego and Austin disappear across the horizon.

Even though at the time Austin was named Silvio.

Sweet sweet Silvio, the child couldn't hurt a fly and was so obedient is was a little scary.

Piano music was what first drew the nations from their living room hideout, it came from the second floor. There sat Nixon on the piano chair playing away. The micronations and younger children sitting around him listening to the soft music being played.

Feli sat down with Romo with Lovino sitting on the opposite side of Feli, both silently leaning on Feli.

The nations quietly sat down to listen to the soft melody.

A few minutes pass and Ludwig is the first to fall leaning on Gilbert who affectionately messed up his hair.

The Italians next, they all ended up on the floor using Feli as a pillow.

Wendy was next falling asleep and falling over but Jeff caught her and carefully picked her up and set her on his lap.

Then was Peter who had already had been picked up by Berwald and Shawn was scooped up by Tino.

Soon most were asleep happily.

----

A few hours pasted and the house was put to rest, two however remained awake and lively.

"Go time?"

"Go time."

The dolls where tied to a stick and dunked it to the potion, it wasn't harmful. Just a little more, eye opening. That was a better descriptor.

"Let's show 'em what we see,"

"What father sees"

"What we gotta put up with"

"What we understand"

"Let the tables turn and tides come in,

Let them see and watch what we have

Let it happen, let them see

Let their magic open and let them see

Let them watch and interact

Allow their eyes to open and let the magic flow" Their soft chant ended at the potion turned a light blue, they removed the dolls that now had a light blue glow to them.

"Careful, we must be very careful" The dolls were gently set on pillows to ensure that the magic will seep in.
