(POV Third Person)
It was a normal, chaotic, meeting. Although all the nations felt that something was off. Then suddenly, a female voice spoke.

"Hello, Nations. We are sorry for disrupting your meeting, but we have something to tell you"

"ˈm-mʌðə, i-is t-that you?" America and Canada stuttered at the same time. (Translation: ˈmʌðə is Cheyenna (Language of Native America) for mother)

Most of the people in the room were surprised to hear America's voice. Hearing the normally loud, obnoxious, confident voice being quiet, unsure, and worried was just surprising. Though some nations managed to hide it.

"Yes, it's me. It is great to hear you two again" The voice, who was now confirmed to be Native America chuckled lightly by the end.

"Venenziano! Romano! I am so proud of you two!" A new voice cried out dramatically, as if they were crying.

"Mein Gott, hold yourself together at least. And speaking of, just what the hell did you do again last night?" A new voice with a thick german accent joined the other.

"Avus? And Grandpa Germania?" (Avus is Grandfather in Latin)

"Vati?" The Italy twins and the Germanic Nations, who were raised by Germania, said at the same time. |1|

"Yup, the one and only. Oh yeah, how's it going China?" The voice now identified as Rome asked China.

"Aiyahhhh You're still as obnoxious and loud as ever Rome." China replied back to him with his voice sounding annoyed but you could see the smile on his face.

"It's great to see you all again, my children" a new female voice joined.

"Mother!?" England, Wales and Scotland exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed. Just who else do you think has my voice?" Britannia could be heard giggling at her childrens' reaction

Many of the Ancients, like Gaul, Ilberia, and the others, soon materialized and started talking to their respective families.

Some of the younger nations, like Germany for example, were feeling a little awkward as they had never actually met these people before. Not that they would ever admit that.

"Hey West, come on I'll introduce you to Vati!" Prussia called out to his younger brother.

"Alright, I'm coming"

"Vati, this is Germany. My younger bruder. West, this is Germania, our Vater." He introduced Germany to Gemania, since Germania already knew Germany through Rome's various speeches of 'sharing' things happening in the modern world he found from his visits to earth.

"West? Is that what you call him, Maria?" Germania asked Prussia quietly as Germany went to talking to Austria and the other Germanics.

"I— Well, I'm now the awesome East of his country, so I also call him West."

Prussia knows that Germania asked him because of who the nickname of  'West' originally belonged to.

It suddenly came to his mind that he should formally introduce Feliciana and Lovino as their in-laws. While he does know that the Italy twins and Germania are close from what the twins told him, he still wants to introduce them formally!

On the other side of the room, the UK family were chatting.... well, actually arguing, but details. While the siblings were arguing with each other and Gaul's family, Britannia slipped away.

"Really Goldie? Should you really be slipping away from your family now?"

Britannia turned her attention her best friend, Feliciana, who was currently in her male disguise.

"Well, who exactly between us went over to my place to escape the chaos of the three boys she lived with?" Goldelena mused as she saw Feliciana smirk playfully at her, like the old days.

"Hey, just Germania and Romano in the same room are already hard to deal with. But, you know what I mean." The Italian girl's smirk disappeared and was replaced with a small frown. Goldelena just sighed at her friend's worries.

"Well, what do you expect me to say? That I just wanted to go over here to tease you? Honestly, I do worry about you, Yana. And from what I see, they still have yet to figure it out?"

"Goldie, they don't even know I'm a girl......." The brit rubbed a hand on her forehead at Feliciana's point.

"Still... actually, why did you do that? You never had anything against the other nations knowing you were a girl before." Goldelena's eyes filled with worry as her best friend stiffened at the observation.

"Eh... times've changed. Stuff just happened. None of your business, though. Just... go back to your family now, would 'ya?" Her smile returned by the end of the last sentence as she lightly shoved the blonde.

"Alright, see you." Goldelena gave a small wave as she went back towards her and Gaul's families, who were having another argument.

Prussia came over to Feliciana, Lovino, and Rome, and tapped on the twins' shoulders to gain their attention. "Oh, is there something you need Gil?"

Rome turned to him and quietly asked "You must be Prussia, my grandchildrens' brother-in-law, correct?"

"Ja. Nice to meet you Mister Roman Empire"

"Please, drop the formalities. Just call me Marcellus. We are family. Even though it wasn't as nations." He whispered.

"Wait, since when did you know? I know for a fact Romano and I never told you on your visits." Ita asked, eyes narrowing ever so slightly.

"Um... it was 'Mania's idea to keep an eye open?"

"I can already hear the truth, moron. You can't lie for shit."

Lovino laughed a little at Rome and Veneziana's antics. These interactions never get old.

"Is this normal?" Romano just glanced at Prussia for a second before looking back at the two quietly arguing nations. (Well, one was arguing and the other was begging for mercy... but you get the point.)

"Yup. We're kinda considered a part of the ancients, so you'll find most of them treat us like we're the same age." Romano sighed at the end before coughing slightly to get the two's attention.

This action caught Veneziana's attention, distracting her. Rome took this opportunity to make his way over to Germania, and slung his arm over the later's shoulders.

The Germanics stared at the two, confusion and surprise to varying degrees on their faces.

"Rome, what on earth are you doing?" Germania looked at him with exhasperation at Rome's usual goofy expression.

Honestly, one would think one of the strongest empires is serious and thinks of consequences of each of his actions, but no. Rome would flirt with any girl he sees, he even has a competition with Romano to see who has had the most successful flirts; he randomly sneaks out of his room in the middle of the night, and so many other things that would make one re-think the attitude of powerful nations and empires.

"Well," Rome paused and lowered his voice so only Germania would be able to hear him "Yana found out we know, so should we share it?" the teaasing fondness in his voice could be heard.

"Um, pardon me for my interuption, but why are all of you here?" Germany made his voice loud and clear probably untintentionally, but it got the attention of the entire room.

"Ah right! We got off track, we almost forgot to mention that! So, who wants to explain?" Ilberia looked towards her fellow ancients sans the Italy twins and China.

"Explain what?" America mumbled under her breath.

Native America looked at her daughter and son sadly before turning to the room.

"You see, we have seen how you all have been" Scandinavia says. It makes sense to the Ancients who came with her, but to the modern-day nations, it confused them greatly.

"Scandinavia, give context instead of just blurting it out. We've been through this." Before Keivan Rus and Scandinavia got into another scuffle, Britannia elaborated.

"We have seen how all of you have been suffering and hiding the pain. Sometimes even lying to yourselves."

"As such, we have decided to help you out with this!" Rome exclaimed excitedly as he pulled a book out of somewhere and held it up.

"Wait, since when did he get a hold of it?" most of the ancients wondered.

England stepped up "If I may, how will that book help us?"

"That book holds a number of your diary entries and notes about you that we believe you need to know." Germania answered.

The room was completely quiet for a few second before, "WHAT?!" many of the nations exclaimed in their respective language.

Some of the loudest exclamations were from Veneziana and America. It is justified though, as based on the answer, it implies that their real gender will be revealed after their hiding it for so long now. And there are things about Veneziana's past that she would much prefer to keep to herself and maybe her family, such as her love life....

"Damn you Goldie! You just had to use that spell!" Veneziana mentally groaned when she realised what that light meant, and the book just confirmed her thoughts.

The ancients who just came, were suddenly surrounded by a blue light and they began to fade "We are sorry for the invasion of privacy, but it is either this or world war three."

"One more thing, we have some surprises for you we think you'll like when you reach particular entries. Especially you two, Veneziano, South Korea." Rome added

After saying that, they disappeared. Leaving only the current Nations in the room.

"Well, I guess we will have to read this book then, as there seems to be some sort of magical barrier which prevents us from leaving the premisis until we have finished reading the book. Since this meeting has been set for 3 days we should probably read the note that's on the cover first and leave the rest for the following day." England opened his eyes after finishing scanning the surroundings.

"Dammit. Why must my gut inctsicts be on point for this shit every fucking time?!"

"Well, if no one will read it, I will" Germany said as he grabbed the book.

"There is a note on the first page, it reads,

'Dear Nations,
We forgot to mention that you will be unable to leave the building until you finish the book. But do not worry about work, time outside is frozen so outside responsibilities will not be a problem while here. We prepared rooms for you all, however, there is not enough so you will have to share with 2-3 in one room. We also prepared a kitchen with unlimited food. And since this is not a meeting, you will choose who you sit with, as to avoid discomfort when secrets are being shared. We hope this will be able to help you have a better bond with one another

Sencierly yours,
The Ancients'"

"Well, that solves one problem, righ-- Fels?" America jokingly whispered before looking to Veneziana in confusion.

Veneziana expression was like a mixture of annoyance and worry, which was confusing America a bit. That was until she glanced to where Veneziana's line of sight was, Germany.

"She's probably worried about her family secret being revealed... but then again, why wouldtn't she when she probably knows the full extent of this spell...." Amelia thought to herself.

"Uh sorry, what was that Ame?" Feliciana whispered while glancing at her.

"Ah, I was just saying how that solves us one problem, right?" America put on a smile, trying to get Veneziana's mind off her worries.

"Yeah, it definetly does," Veneziana returned a small, real, smile before putting back that fake, happy, oblivious aura smile towards the room before anyone besides Amelia could notice.

A/N
|1| Yes I know Vati is short for Vater which is German for father, and the whole debate on whether Germania is their father or grandfather is a thing. But canonically in songs, Prussia calls him Vati so I came up with something so yes, the Germanic nations call him father in my books
