Ivan was having another boring day. He woke up, got dressed, and went downstairs to see if breakfast was ready. He took his seat at the table and was greeted by a trembling Lithuania holding his pancakes. "Thank you, Lithuania for the pancakes. They are delicious, da?" The nation continued trembling and quickly exited the room. Ivan sighed, as this was usual for him. After breakfast, he continued getting ready for the day. He suddenly heard a knock on his bedroom door. "M-Mr. Russia? I have been n-notified that t-there is a world c-conference today." Lithuania said, shakily. "Thank you Lithuania for telling me this. You are dismissed." He heard the quick footsteps of the leaving country. He stood up from his bed and walked out the door.
Finally arriving at the world conference, a little late, he walked in to the meeting hall. He was about to say something about being late, but then he heard them talking about him. He stopped in the middle of the room, all the other countries were facing the other way and were not aware of him entering. "He needs to be stopped, he's always so abusive!" Said China. "He's gone insane!" Mentioned America. "The bloody wanker, he's terrible! I HATE him!" Murmured England. Tears started streaming down Ivan's face. "You, hate me?" He said quietly. All of the nations turned around to see the crying Russia. All of their eyes were wide with horror, hoping so badly that he would not get mad. Their hope was small, though. "H-how did you k-know about this m-meeting?" Ask shaking America. "Lithuania notified me that I got a message..." He responded. "I-I'm sorry I'm so terrible!" He said as he ran out of the room. He went back to his own home and decided to take a walk. He went over to a snowy edge of a cliff, looking down into the abyss. He suddenly turned to see another nation, sitting in the snow. "Why are you crying?" Ivan asked the slightly smaller nation. The other country looked up at him. "I don't know, It's just, no one ever pays attention to me. I'm always polite, and I don't interrupt, and I'm not mean to anyone! But do I get any thanks? Of course not! I have so much to offer and I- Oh, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have yelled!" Ivan smiled at him. "I'm Russia. But you can call me Ivan." "Russia? THE Russia? Cool! I'm Canada, but you can call me Mathew." Mathew stood up to shake hands with the larger country. "Mathew, hmm? I think I'll call you Matvey, da?" "Sure!"
