After all of the capitals came inside, they sat in the conference room and listened to Amelia explain the situation to them. "The people we saw today were not our family members," Amelia explained to the other capitals. "They're known as 2Ps."

"2Ps?" Allison questioned.

"You mean like, Second Player?" Amanda asked.

Amelia nodded as she pulled out an old book covered in dust. She blew the dust away and then opened the old book. "Many long years ago, there were two personifications of countries; 1Ps- who are our Fathers- and 2Ps. As the years went by, the 2Ps believed they deserved all the power and decided to try and overthrow the 1Ps. To prevent this, my Father, Norway, and Romania cast a spell that locked the 2Ps away in the place they couldn't escape; the minds of the 1Ps. But now they've escaped."

"But how did they get out in the first place?" Aurel inquired.

"I believe I have the answer; while I was preparing my escape, I noticed there was some residue from the basement. I examined it and realized that Father must've been working on a spell. After analyzing it, I've found that the spell that was cast was a release spell, which is how the 2Ps were freed."

"Why are the 2Ps after us, aru?" Chen asked. "What do they want with us?"

"That I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure out what their plan is."

Everyone was silent for a while, taking in all this new information. What were they suppose to do?

"...So then, what wirr we do now?" Naomi asked.

"We need to figure out what they are planning da?" Natie said. "The question is, who can do it without being figured out?"

Everyone sat and thought about it. Who could go in and find out what the 2Ps were planning without being detected? That's when Rose raised her hand, making everyone turn to look at her. She must've had a plan!

"Yes Rose?" Amelia questioned. "Do you have something to say?"

The anticipation was thick in the air. What did the young Italian have to say? "Um, can I go get some water?" Rose asked, making everyone sweat drop and fall over.

"Fine, go ahead," Amelia sighed.

"Grazie~," With that, Rose left the room to get a drink of water. Everyone sighed.

"I actually thought Rose had a plan," Tye admitted. "But I guess I was wrong. She still believes that the man back at her house is Zio Italy. She's so naive."

Amelia gasped. "That's it!"

"What's it?" Emma asked.

"Rose can go in and figure out what the 2Ps are planning. She's so naive and innocent that they wouldn't suspect a thing!"

"Have you completely lost your mind Amelia?!" Katrina yelled.

"I agree with Katrina," Tye added. "There is no way we're sending Rose back to that place!"

"What other choice do we have?" Amelia questioned. "She's the only one who can do this. The 2Ps are sure to believe her since they know she's so innocent."

Tye grunted. He didn't want to admit it but Amelia was right.

"If it makes you feel better, I will have a protection spell put up so that if they try to hurt her they won't be able to do so."

"Alright, fine," Tye sighed.

Just then, Rose walked into the room.

*********************

"So you want me to go home to Papa and Zio Romano?" Rose asked as they all stood not too far from the house.

"Just tell them that you got scared and decided to come back," Amelia explained.

"And add a few tears in for effect," Amanda added, making Tye and Katrina stare her down.

Rose nodded. She still didn't think anything was wrong with her Father but was fine with going home. Rose rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer the door. A moment later, a man with blonde hair and sunglasses answered the door. He looked like Romano. "Rose? Where have you been?" Flavio asked. "I've been worried sick about you."

"I'm sorry Zio Romano," Rose apologized. "I didn't mean to run away. I was just following Tye and got scared when it started to get dark so I came home."

Flavio bought the lie but Luciano, who was listening the whole time, knew right away Rose was lying. He knew the children had found out about the 2Ps. Still, he smirked. It would be fun to string the children along to make them think they had the upper advantage.

"Come on ragazza," Flavio said as he picked Rose up. "Let me get you some pasta to eat."

"Okay Zio Romano," Rose smiled as she placed her head on his shoulder. Even if he looked different, Rose still loved him. She still believed it was her Uncle. As Flavio carried Rose, she saw her "Papa". He looked different though. He had darker hair and his eyes had turned into a magenta color that was a bit foreign. Still, Rose smiled and reached out for him. "Papa."

Show time already, Luciano thought as he put on a fake smile and took the child from Flavio's arms. "There you are bella," Luciano told the child as she rubbed her head against his shoulder. "I was so worried about you."

"I'm sorry Papa. I shouldn't have run away."

Luciano gave her a small kiss on the head. "It's all right. You're home and that's all that matters."

"Si," Flavio added, giving her a small tickle on her stomach that caused her to giggle. "And when Tye wants to come home too he can."

"Really?"

"Of course~! I still need to get him a new style. My son must be able to impress the ragazzas." Rose laughed.

Meanwhile, outside, the other capitals were watching from their spot in a tree as Rose chatted with the two 2Ps. "Perfect," Amelia stated to the others as she moved the binoculars away from her eyes. "All is going according to the plan."

Perfect, Luciano thought with a small smirk forming on his face. All is going according to the plan.
