After a bit of talking and planning my youngest sister ran in with an oh so familiar owl, his name is Orpheus, but ever since he was an owlet she always called him "barrel" yes. Barrel. He's a flightless burrowing owl because since she was 4 at the time that he hatched, she couldn't properly pronounce the word "burrow" so she used the closest word to it that she could think of. Which was "barrel". But now she's 15, almost 16, and she still uses "barrel". I think she just likes to call him that because she can pronounce "burrow" now.
She put him on my head and he hid himself in my hair.
Aussie:"Take ya damn bird!"
America:"Wait he's my bird-"
Aussie:"Yes you bimbo!"
Canada:"Why are you calling him a whore?"
Aussie:"Not like that, you flat chested slut."
I'm so confused-
America:"What's a slut- or a whore-"
France:"The definition of Canada."
Britain:"France dear, shut up. America is too pure to understand what those words mean and I'd like to keep our son that way."
Aussie:"Not to mention the fact that it's your fault that she's like this."
France:"I tried to stop her from sticking a brush handle and spoons up her va-"
Britain:"FRANCE SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I KNOCK YOU OUT!"
Everyone turned to Britain to see him using the hook of his cane to pull mom down so he could look at her face to face.
Mom repeated what he said in a mocking voice.
Britain:"Dois-je utiliser votre langue maternelle pour montrer à quel point je suis sérieux?(Need I use your native language to show how serious I am?)"
America:"SINCE WHEN COULD YOU SPEAK FRENCH?!"
Britain:"Desde que me hice amigo de tu madre y sus amigos.(Since I became friends with your mother and her friends.)"
America:"I- Spanish too?!"
Britain:"Eu também posso falar português(I can also speak Portuguese)" {this is in Portuguese}
I blink, I had no clue about this.
Britain:" وكذلك العربية بسبب مصر واليمن وتشاد.(As well as Arabic due to Egypt, Yemen, and chad.)" {This is Arabic}
America:"ok what the Hillary Clinton-"
Britain:"Не говоря уже о русском из-за советского, я тоже знаю каждый язык в Афганистане(Not to mention Russian because of Soviet, I also know every language in Afghanistan)" {Russian}
America:"Ok how many languages-"
Britain:" Aufgrund der Nazis kann ich auch Deutsch! Eigentlich ist er ein toller Kerl, auch wenn er ähm... egal(I also know German due to Nazi! He's actually a swell guy even though he uhm... nevermind) {German}
America:"SWEET RICE CRISPY TREATS, please say that's the end-"
Britain:"Natuto din ako ng Filipino para makausap ko ang Pilipinas!(I also learned Filipino so I could talk to Philippines!)" {Filipino}
America:"He's still going!"
I had no clue Britain knew this many languages!
Britain:"彼女と彼女の母親を理解して話すことができるように、日本帝国は私に日本語を学ばせました(Japanese empire had me learn Japanese so I could understand and speak to her and her mother!)"{Japanese}
America:"You're- you're still not done..."
Britain:"Suomi halusi minun täydentävän hänen kieltään, joten keskustelumme eivät katkenneet. Hänen kielensä oppiminen kesti minulta pisimpään!(Finland wanted me to perfect his language so our conversations weren't very broken. His language took me the longest to learn!)"{Finnish}
America:"Finnish too. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"
Britain:"L'ultima lingua che conosco è l'italiano, che mi torna utile quando parlo con Italian Empire perché lo fa sorridere sapendo che conosco ancora la sua lingua.(The last language I know is Italian, which comes in useful when I'm talking to Italian empire because it makes him smile knowing I still know his language.)"{Italian}
I think I'm having a stroke-
Britain:"Then of course I know English, my native language"
America:" YOU KNOW 18 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES?!"
Britain:" 19. I know Georgian too because of my mother. Her name was Sakartvelo, although your people and my people always called her Georgia."
19.
FUCKING 19?!
I know every dead language on earth which is strange but that's besides the point, I know I sound kinda like a hypocrite but I honestly thought he only knew English!
France:"I know all those languages too, other than Georgian, although I do know the very first human language plus pangean"
What on earth is Pangean.
America:"Pangean?"
France:"A language only gods and goddesses speak!"
I'm not even going to ask-
America:"UHM...ok then- uh, I'm gonna go home and hope Alaska hasn't taken anyone's kidneys or Rhode island hasn't be french revolutioned"
Aussie:"Wait Alaska does what-"
Canada:"Make sure to hide that birdie from her, you know she hates birds with a burning grudge."
Aussie:"Similar to the one you had for dad!"
Britain:"If I hear one more thing about revolutions, I'm jumping out that damn window."
France:"Revolution~"
Just like he said, Britain jumped out the window yelling.
"I HATE REVOLUTIONS"
I go to follow him and see him walk off to a private area that is pitch black, or I assume it's pitch black since Britain isn't complaining about any lights, we can see in the dark so I have no clue-
I step in and see book shelves, family photos- well paintings, paintings of young kids.... Some look familiar while others don't. They might be my parents and their friends when they were younger, there's also a small cane with something carved into it...
' Dad's favorite boy '
I guess I really am his favorite....
I really shouldn't be snooping around but this place reminds me of my tree house...
I continue to look around when I see a wood carving area, nearby was an area full of sewing stuff.... painting stuff, and handmade jewelry...
I continue to walk around when I see a painting of some woman with my Britain and some girl- the face of the girl is ripped out and the right half of the painting was also ripped off, almost like there's stuff that's unwanted in it.
The next thing I see is my first baby onesie, along with my sisters' first baby onesies, our first toys too.
Hand crafted furniture, a painting with... a boy that looks like mom-, a painting from when my parents and their friends were teens.
Mom's wedding dress....
Then I saw it.... A board covered in stuff that looks like it belongs to mom.... It's horrific but it also seems like it'd be flattering.
Britain:"Wonderful isn't it? All these memories in one place...."
I turn my head quickly, a little startled.
That's when he held out a larger cane, it looked freshly made and it also had a carving in it.
"Mini me"
I give a confused look.
Britain:"That's what I'd always call you, my friends and your mother would call you a mini version of me."
I blink and start to process what's happening before taking the cane....
America:"To be honest, ever since I saw your cane, I always wanted one..."
Britain:"Why do you think that smaller cane exists?"
I smile and hug him.
Britain:"Come on! Let's go read in a corner with a lit candle! One of my favorite things to do when I'm upset"
I do the same thing....
I shrug and go with him.

Awhile later

I honestly have no clue how long I was in there with my dad but I enjoyed it, he's someone who's actually like me, exactly like me!
We were on our way out when my dad got a message from his phone.
Britain:"We have 2 days to get this done, do you have a way to get backstage during the play? Let alone where it is?"
America:"My son Alabama. Since Indonesia quit because he didn't want to be harassed over being trans so my son is going to take his place. For where it is? It's being held at Garnet Shows theater. Getting backstage.... Nothing-"
My dad hummed for a second before texting someone.
Britain:"We're going to volunteer for backstage crew, I'm the best with tech so I'm going to be messing with lights and especially the cameras, all you need to do is mess with the props and be part of the costume crew. Do you know what "weapon" they'll be using, I swear if it's poison I'm going to lose my mind!"
America:"Let me text Poland to ask his brother."
So I did.
America:"A knife, a fake knife."
Britain:"Cliche. Your mother was killing people with sharpened chairlegs, your sister Canada is an ax murderer who also sets people on fire, Aussie uses her animals. But no, they want to use a KNIFE?!"
America:"You're telling me.."
Britain:"The only thing I like about that fact is that it's an easy swap and not super difficult to get. That makes this quick and simple, the only thing we need to worry about is timing."
America:"Right! How could I forget about that..."
Britain:"You've recently snapped, you'll get used to it! So used to it that you'll end up finding ways of getting away with the most obvious murders, my cane isn't partly made of stained wood, these are blood stains."
I blink, this whole time I assume part of his cane was made of stained wood, turns out those are blood stains-
Eventually we went back to my parents' house and I said my goodbyes.
I get in my car and drive home where I see Alaska about to take Rhode Island's kidneys, I would stop her but land people 1. Don't need a lot of the organs we have, like kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and the liver and 2. He's biologically related to me so she could take out his heart and slit his throat open and he'd be fine, the only way to kill people related to my mother is to cut their head off. He'll be fine.
I quickly sneak off to put Orpheus in my room so Alaska doesn't try making Kentucky fried owl with Kentucky. OOOOH boy.

AN: FINALLY! Me and the BRANA have been wanting this for awhile now!
