Holy ninja stalker!anon. XD
“I do not understand… This… How…? He’s real…?” Francis sits up slowly, cradling Alfred, and places a hand against his cheek. “Not a trick?” England moves away from the wall, about to try again to explain, but stops short when France snarls and shoots him that glare that Arthur hasn’t seen since Joan of Arc.
“Lay off, Francis. He’s not him. Can’t be. He doesn’t have the limp.” Gilbert stalks forward and scrutinizes England intently, much to the island Nation’s discomfort. “So who exactly are you?”
“He’s England.” Colombia tells them, crouching next to Francis and taking Alfred’s unconscious form from him. “Just... not from here. They appeared in the living room last night.”
“Which means that he-“ Prussia points at England. “-isn’t the one you hate, Francis.”
“What does that mean, ‘not from here’?”
“No idea.” Gilbert grins down at Francis, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “And the front hallway isn’t the best place for this conversation, jaPrussia holds his hand out and pulls France to his

Everyone is silent after England finishes explaining as best he can how he and America had landed themselves in an alternate world. France is still glaring at England, and Colombia is still cradling America with a distant look in his eyes. The only one visibly perturbed by what England has told them is Prussia

*little squeal* Author-anon! You're back! OP would like to scatter confetti in the wake of your return but the only paper on hand is my final projects for this semester so I can't. I do however understand that RL can be one helluvabitch.
Still, for as short a chapter as this was, I'm glad to see it. Poor America, and Colombia and Canada; this makes my lip wibble. But it also makes me excited because I know their need to get America home before his non-nation-ness gets him in trouble will raise the tension in the rest of the story to something awesome. ^_^

Mini-update that refused stubbornly refused to fit into another chapter. -_-;;;
“He’s dying?!” Colombia all but screams. Prussia continues to avoid looking directly at him, and Matthew’s heart jumps to his throat and sticks there.
Across the room, England surges to his feet, face flushed with fury. “What gives you- How can you say that?! How would you even know?!”
“Because I’ve been there.” Gilbert hisses, stalking across the room. “Our people give us life; they give us our strength. They are our life force. Without them, we are nothing. Nothing.” He turns away, breathing hard.
Oh. Gilbert is so alive and present that sometimes Matthew forgets that Prussia as a country no longer exists, and that Gilbert himself barely held on long enough to become East Germany. It’s a painful subject for a painful time period that none of them broach often

France shifts sideways on the sofa, away from Colombia, as he senses the shift in the young man who was once his colony. In all the time he’s known Matthew, he’s only seen him well and truly angry a handful of times, and the large majority of that handful of times where during wars.
“I thought you were different.”
Because Francis knows Matthew as well as he does, he can hear the undercurrent of power beneath the ice of the younger Nation’s words.
And while he may have chosen to no longer be the superpower he once was after the Second World War ended and the Soviet Union was growing stronger, Colombia is still easily one of the strongest nations in the world.
“But no, you’re exactly the same. You get yourself in over your head and when reality catches up with you, you can’t face up to what you’ve done. So you just shove the blame onto someone else, someone innocent, and you just keep on living in your fantasies and your delusions

Thanks! I'd forgotten I was even logged in. I'm usually just surfing without being logged in. Oh my. The situation is not looking good. But, I have to applaud England and his tenacity at not giving up even though the others think the worst of him for now. Poor Al how does he get himself in these sticky situations?
(applauds England) That was wonderfully done. ^_^ I couldn't help but cheer England there for suddenly being so kick-ass. Though poor Alfred...this is going to be tough on everybody involved.
