It was another meeting.
In another room.
On another day.
With the same people talking about the same things.

"America!" a loud voice and a bang cracked through the air and America jolted into consciousness. Soft sky blue eyes sharpening in fear and shooting to the source of the noise.

"Yes?" a bit panicky and hoarse.

"Are you even-? No. Of course you're not." accompanied by a strained sigh and a shake of the head.

"Goddamn it America! Pay attention!" England yelled out from two seats down.

"This is stupid! Damn Western countries always ruining things!" China got up from his chair and complained.

"Don't be mad Angleterre. He gets it from you." followed by a condescending laugh.

"Hey." a cool voice stopped everyone as they looked at the man. Tall over America. "Come with me." he turned slowly and walked towards the door.

"H-hey! What do you mean follow you!? Where are we going!?" America shot up from his chair and it toppled over. He flinched.

"This meeting is boring, Da? Then come. I need to speak with you. Alone." a cold voice. The door opened and he slipped out with the american hot on his tail despite the protests.

-

The meeting waned after that. People whispered amongst themselves and some sat alone.
All wondered though.

It stopped once the door opened.

In walked both countries.
America with his head down and Russia frowning.

"So? What will it be, Америка?"

"I don't know..." a soft sound unlike the booming voice he always donned.

"You have until the next meeting to come up with an answer. And if you do not... Well, just make sure you do. I will not sit by and let this happen any longer. Do you hear me?"

His only confirmation was a very subtle nod.

"Please Америка. Don't let this go on."

"Just sit down already you Commie." America growled out and stomped over to his seat.

The meeting went smoothly after that. No one asked what happened.
