Secrets of the State

Austin? Silvio?

Slowly the children walked in and out of the kitchen and dining room, some going outside, to the basement or to the activity house.

Finally, around 8 am a few nations came down those being Hungry, Switzerland Liechtenstein, Spain, and Northern Italy.

"Ve~ good morning!" Feliciano smiled.

"Good morning" Matthew greeted softly as Wilson chugged an entire cup of cocoa.

"What's for breakfast, it smells good" Spain commented.

"Pancakes" Angel smiled, "Want some?"

"Si~"

"Si!"

"Yes please"

"Yes"

"Igen, kérem!"

Angel served up pancakes before throwing open the curtain.

"Why are they still out there? Their normally in here by an hour ago" She sighed frowning.

Wilson lightly kicked her leg making Angel look at him before he signed.

'Austin avoiding coming back inside to avoid the people he used to know' Wilson sighed.

Angel sighed dropping her head into her hands.

Canada just added more syrup to his coffee before sighing.

"Vats up with ze sigh fest? And vhy do the kids look so tired?" Gibret asks b-lining it to the fridge looking for something to eat.

"Your brother yelling woke us up, that and that damn brit and frenchie" Mary grumbled climbing onto the counter reaching for a certain cereal and bowl.

"Dammit" Gilbert muttered.

Maria tottled into the kitchen and promptly sat down in the middle of the floor.

"Tummy hurt, make it go bubye" The toddler demanded.

Canada just smiled and sat her in her high chair. He got her something to eat and she eat happily.

"Mattie, we're heading back south in the next few days. Brazil wants the others to meet my kids so I'll be heading down there and meet you on the western front in Cali for New Year." Deigo explained walking into the kitchen kissing Maria on her forehead.

"Sounds good" Matthew smiled, "Francisco is in the fields with Austin still" Matthew informed.

"Still? Harvest season is coming to an end I know but they should be in by now" Deigo sighed looking out the window.

Mary set down her bowl and throw open the back door. "GET IN HERE AND EAT" She screamed into the backyard before slamming the door shut. Litchenstine flinched at her voice and the others seemed surprised.

"Don't to vat. Mornings are the only calm time for him" Prussia growled, hsi voice of discipline that made Mary look down realizing what she could have done if Austin wasn't to far from the house. "Yes Sir" She said and went back to her cereal hanging her head.

An air of silence hung in the air. "What?" Mary asked as all eyes landed on her.

"You listen to him?"

"He's my uncle, why wouldn't I. You all are weird" Mary muttered the last part as she walked into the dining room but not before writing something on a large white borad on the inside of the dining room.

"Who's she?" Elizabeta asked leaning to catch a glimpse of her again.

"Mary, she's part of the 13th council. Which is law for the first 13 colonies. There some of the oldest. Her state name is, well, Maryland. Or in southern Marylin'" Diego explained.

"Buenos días dad" Francisco greeted walking into the house via the backdoor and kicking off his boots.

"Buenos días" Deigo greeted noting the door locking seemingly on its own.

"Oh, goodmorning" Francisco greeted the guests.

"Where's Aust?" Matthew asked.

"Probably climbing in threw a window" Francisco shrugged.

"Lovely" Jackson grumbled walking in straight to the coffee maker, "that boy is going to give Alfie a heart attack one day."

"He hasn't already?" Angel asked in disbelief.

"I don't know honestly" Matthew sighed. Austin however gave them all an offended look even if they couldn't see him, thank the powers of a dead nation and weird voodoo like magic.

Francisco made a plate for himself and an extra one. "I'll find Aussie" He stated before walking off. He went straight to Austin's home office where Austin reappeared and unlocked the door. "Thanks" Was all he said as he took the plate.

"No problemo" Francisco smiled and walked off. Austin shut and locked the door after flipping the 'occupied' sign that hung on the door. He sat on the desk and ate his wonderful breakfast.

"Who was that?" Vash asked.

"Coahuila or Francisco. He's one of mine, him and Austin are 'twins', they aren't really but Austin insistent on it after we first found Francisco" Deigo explained.

"Aussie doesn't like people a whole lot," Jackson shrugged, "So he tends to hide when people he isn't a fan of are over. You would have known about him a lot sooner if he didn't hate England and France with such a firey passion."

"Why does he not like them?" Elise asked.

"He knows a lot of things, a lot of things he could use to ruin a nation... It's Austin after all" Jackson shrugged.

"Austin could run the world if he wanted, he has no fear and would dance his way to his thrown in hell if given the chance" Angel laughed.

The nations exchanged a look that said 'wtf'.

"Ve~ he sounds scary" Falicino commented shrink in on himself a little.

"Who are you talking about?" A boy with hair dyed three different colors and one green and one blue eye asked with a boy who had light brown hair and baby blue eyes trailing behind him.

"Aussie" Jackson replied.

"Austin isn't scary! Y'all just don't know 'em" The bright haired boy huffed. "The only time he's scary is when someone takes his food or someone is in danger"

"Pancakes?" Angel asked earning a nod from the two newcomers.

"Who are you?" Elizabeta asked, now curious about the two boys.

"Im the city of Austin, the capital of Texas, Call me Acilino. I'm left over from the Texan republic. This is my little brother, Frederick the personification of the state of texas" The bright haired boy explained. There was one thing to note, they all had long hair that was tied back with a ribbon. They both had a flag bracelet on their opposite wrists.

Spain felt a twist of mild panic and fear in his stomach.

Frederick stared at Antonio for a very long few minutes before he gasped and snapped his fringers. "I know you! You're in the picture in my older brother's room!"

"Huh?" Was the only response that the Spainard could think up.

"Yeah, you probably don't' know his now name! umm. What was Austin's name before?" He asked looking to Mexico. "Silvio"

"Yeah! You probably know him as Silvio!" Frederick chirped.

Antonio's interest sky rocketed, the state went on about Austin or Silvio. Same person, two names as the Spainard learnt. He listened intently to Frederick as we went on about different stories their dear older brother had told him about his colony days. Somethings are over exaggerated then he remembered but it made him happy nonetheless.
