"Alright," Fascist nodded. "I'll try."

Britain

East and West Germany sat side-by-side. Ukraine, Kat, and Belarus had agreed to watch over them until their circumstances could be decided.

East hugged a black eagle plushie. "What's that you got there?" Belarus asked.

"Mein vater gave him to me," he explained. "His name is Frederick."

"He looks soft," Ukraine noted.

East simply nodded. All his life, he had been raised on his father's beliefs. He wasn't sure what to think now that the supposedly evil countries were the ones helping him. West had an easier time accepting his new reality. After all, he was the more open-minded twin.

Then Britain, America, France, and Soviet came into the room. "We've come to a decision," Britain announced, although he didn't sound happy about that.

"Germany's been split into two," France said. "Britain, America, and I are occupying the western half. Soviet has the east."

America had a very conflicted look. "For what I'm about to tell you, I'm sorry. I tried for a better alternative. I really did. But this is the best I could do."

He exhaled. "West, you're going to stay with my mom and dad. East, you'll live with Soviet."

"Was!" West cried. He clutched his brother. "But I don't wanna leave East!"

"I know. I'm sorry," America said sadly. "But I did get Soviet to agree to visits. As long as I don't spread 'capitalist propaganda'."

Both the German geminis hugged each other tightly, not wanting to let go. "It's better than being separated forever," West muttered.

"Ich weiss," (I know.) East sniffed.

They reluctantly moved away. "Hey, that means you'll be our little brother," Kat tried to comfort.

East slowly approached his new parental figure, trying not to be afraid. Soviet bent down. "It's okay. I'll teach you the right way to rule."

All the capitalist countries in the room winced, watching as Soviet left with his children. West's lip trembled, causing France to give him a hug.

"I know. It's not fair. But it's the way things have to be. Maybe, I can't promise this, but maybe, Soviet will let your brother go someday. And you can be with him as much as you'd like."

West started to cry into his new mother's chest. Britain and America exchanged looks and went to join the embrace.
