Why did the nations get the feeling that something bad was about to happen?

Oh, that's right, because a certain general was back for the meeting the next day, and she had brought some painfully familiar guests with her (at least to England, France, and Canada).

Hannah scanned the nations, finding that some of them looked confused on what the hell was going on, and the others--being the three members of the FACE family--were staring at the people she brought with her with horror, disbelief, and even anger.

Said guests were men that America had worked with during the American Revolution, very important figures that helped her gain her independence. The first man was obviously the very first President of the United States, George Washington, and he scanned the nations with a calculative gaze that hide his emotions very well.

The man beside him, who wasn't making any attempts to hide his distaste for England, was Alexander Hamilton, and he even gazed at the other nations with hostility, like they were England's allies.

The next two men was the spy Hercules Mulligan and the military man John Laurens. Mulligan, like Washington, kept his emotions in check, but it was clear that he was on edge around the nations, specifically England. Laurens was the same, though he kept stealing warning glances towards Hamilton from time to time.

Finally, the last man with them was General Lafayette, and he was standing in the position that a general would during the American Revolution. His own calculative and distrustful gaze swooped over the nations, causing a certain few of get uncomfortable.

Hannah scanned over everyone. "Heads up gentlemen," she ordered, walking to America's seat. "Today we're going to be discussing the topic of global warming once more, and we're going to have to come to a decision of what course to take together. So, I will count off the proposals one by one.

"First was you Mr. Williams, in which you proposed using solar energy instead of oil. Then, there was you Mr. Wang, where you proposed lowering the population to two children per family or none at all. Finally, Mr. Kirkland, you proposed that we focus on the least-developed countries first. Am I correct so far?"

Please say yes, please say yes.

The nods of agreement silenced Hannah's worries. "Good." She then took out the papers that America had written for her. "I've spoken with America about your proposals, and she says that she understands where you all are coming from, but that there are some flaws to your plans."

"Huh?!" demanded some certain nations, but Hannah's warning glare silenced them.

"Keep your opinions to yourselves for the time being gentlemen," she warned. "It would be a shame if I had to report you for your childish behavior."

"That goes for you as well, Britain," warned Hamilton, his eyes filled with ice. "It would be a shame if a bullet went through your heart now, wouldn't it?"

"Mr. Hamilton," warned Washington, placing a hand on the other man's shoulder, but Hamilton shrugged it off.

"You know it's true Mr. President," he continued. "In fact, you saw yourself that he couldn't care less about anyone but himself."

"That's enough, Mr. Hamilton!" Washington hissed now, his face now contorted with warning. "We are here to discuss solutions to a current problem, not point out each other's sins. I understand that you have never forgiven that man's soldiers for killing Mr. Laurens, but this is not the time nor the place for that."
