If you are from a country that is being invaded, why keep running to the bad guys? That is a question Erick is trying to answer, maybe it's the way they acted to his friend, or the way they show that they are friendlier than the allies. Either way, why isn't he joining the allies and stopping the war faster!? It's Courtney's wish to come back and figure out her family, not his, his wish is to live a peaceful life with her somewhere quiet. Now he is in the back of Britain's car going to be shipped back to the island, his phone is about to die. 10 percent battery left, Erick can't show it to the three or else the timeline would be ruined, but isn't it already ruined? The door then opened and America climbed into the driver's seat.

"Alright kiddo it will be my job to get you back to my place." America seemed happy to leave two.

"Wait, I thought we were going to England?" Erick questioned

"Plans changed." America looked at Erick from the mirror. "My place is much safer, since most of the war is in Europe. Good thing I won't join in on it, no it's their problem I am not interfering."

"Yeah sure." Erick scoffed that made America look back.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing."

America wanted to question farther, but Erick doesn't seem like giving anymore information. He curled up into a ball and looked out the window. He already heard that he is going to be traded like a piece of object to who ever, probably the no no German. They drove and drove, trees pass by Erick's eyes in a flash, the doors have no handle in it, only the driver can open it from the outside.

"So I am getting traded?" Erick asked again, "Is it the Reich?"

America didn't say anything and Erick rolled his eyes. His phone was dead, and there are no chargers here to recharge it. At least Courtney and the three future countries are safe going to Russia, the cold country. The car stopped and Erick saw a helicopter, America got out and opened the passenger door. Erick took this chance to run but he was caught by the country, and started to get dragged by his wrist. America forcefully put him in handcuffs, put him in the helicopter, then he got on and told the driver to go to the USA.

"Damn it!" Courntey groaned, the car ran out of gas the next morning they woke up. "Okay everyone, time to go on foot."

West, East and Italy got out of the car holding each other so neither of them got lost. They started to walk aimlessly in Italy, yep they are stuck here. Russia is so far away, there is no way they can reach it without being old. After only a couple of minutes Courtney can't handle it, even Chocolate is bored and hungry. They ran out of cash, out of transportation, and no clue where they were. What's another way to get out of Italy?.... Trains, that's it Trains!

"Italy, where is the nearest train station?" Courntey asked, hoping that the closest one is not far.

"No to far I can show you." Italy now led them around the land, there it was an old train station that is leaving soon.

"But we don't have any money." West reminded Courtney "How are we going to get on?"

Courtney bent down to West's height level, true they are pretty much homeless. But Courtney always has a plan. "Ever heard of "Rules are meant to be broken "?"

The train honked, and everyone rushed to it. Courtney and the three childerns quickly boarded the back, she lifted East first, then West and Finally Italy. The train started to move and Courtney hoped on into the storage room, closing the doors. The train moved faster and faster, and they were off, hopefully not back to Italy, Courntey made sure of it when she asked the strange man in the front. Their next stop was indeed Russia, Ukraine.

"How do we know you aren't lying to us?" Reich growled ready to shoot the British Country, but he was held back by his cowardly brother. "For all we know you killed them both!"

Britain let out an annoyed groan, they had been talking about this for a while now. It was only the Reich, Weimar against Britain and France. The others were not allowed to join since they are past countries, but Weimar is an exception. Britain and France trusted Weimar the most so he could join.

"I am saying this for the last time, Courtney is probably going to Soviet, and we have her friend Erick." Britain was running out of patience. "In Exchange for him, we want you to join us to send those back home."

Reich stopped moving, thinking through what Britain said. Sending them back, half of him doesn't have Courtney to go to, but the other half says that she shouldn't be here. What if it's just a trick and they were already dead from the war, and he loses his sons. That was Reich's big fear, losing her and his sons. He doesn't care about Erick, but Courtney likes him. Weimar let his brother go and prayed that he wouldn't launch at Britain, which he didn't. Reich just stood there like a statue, that even made France ask if he was alright.

"You promise Erick is alive with that stupid American." Reich growled. "And the is not harmed?"

"Watch your words about my son." Britain warned. "Erick is alive, and untouched."

The British held out his hand for Reich to shake, the war is put on hold for now. First thing first, bring them back home. Reich hesitated, but ended up confirming the deal. France gave the two men a piece of paper to sign, a promise to not attack each other until the mission is completed and Erick will be given to Reich. The pen was placed back on the table and Reich went out without another word, Weimar followed his brother out of the door, where everyone else was waiting.

"What happened there?" Rectangle asked

"A treaty was signed, that's all." Reich brushed it off and headed back to the car.

"What kind of treaty?" Prussia asked Weimar.

"A pause of the war until Courtney and Erick return home." Weimar said "We will get Erick, as for Courtney, it's going to be a manhunt."
