Repairing Our Relationship

26

UN POV

I stood in the meeting room leaning against the wall. I had just called the countries to come. EU walked inside carrying two bottles of water. ASEAN and NATO were right behind him. "UN, you okay?" EU asked.

"No, I'm not fricking okay. I have to report two new missing cases to the countries. Who knows what Ecuador's siblings will say?" I let out an exasperated sigh.

EU handed a bottle of water to me. "If it cheers you up, I called the principle and told him what was happening and that nobody was going to school today." NATO said.

"Being super late to school is the least of our worries, NATO." ASEAN said, rolling his eyes.

NATO opened his mouth to retort, but EU glared at them. "Don't. We already have enough going on, we don't need you two imbeciles arguing."

I opened the water bottle EU gave me and took a few gulps from it. EU also drank some of his water. "Wow, none for us?" NATO said.

"NATO, you drank a gallon of water before we even got here, I believe you're good." ASEAN said.

"Fine then, what about you?"

ASEAN smirked and crossed his arms. "I drank water before I left my house this morning."

NATO scoffed. "Bet it wasn't a gallon."

"And that was good."

"Why, exactly?"

"Because I don't have to go to the bathroom right now."

NATO's face turned to one of realization. "U-Uh...gotta go!" He rushed out of the room.

EU looked as if he mentally facepalmed. "We need to do something about you two..." He muttered, setting his and my water bottle down on a nearby table.

"What? I didn't do anything." ASEAN said. "Besides, it was NATO being...well...NATO."

"Still, you both argue way too much."

Their conversation was cut short when we heard a door open. We turned to the far side of the room and watched as the countries flooded in and took their respectful seats. The rest of the organisations also came in. As always, BRICS was wearing a bag over his head.

If you're wondering why BRICS is wearing a bag over his head, the reason is fairly simple. Since BRICS doesn't have an official flag for his organisation, his face is constantly changing from one of his members' flags to the next. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, repeat.

A while ago, countries kept complaining about how when talking to BRICS, the constant changing of flags gave them a headache. The whole wearing a bag idea was supposed to be a joke by ASEAN, but BRICS took it seriously and he wears it everyday now.

Anyway, back to the meeting. The countries were all oddly silent. Normally when they first arrive everyone is talking to everyone, but I guess because of the current situation no one wanted to talk.

Everyone was looking at me. I noticed Bangladesh was the only country who wasn't. She had her head in between her arms, and I didn't blame her. Both her older brother and younger sister were missing.

Looking around, I noticed both North Korea and France weren't there. Assuming the worst, I was hesitant to ask, "Where is France and North Korea?"

"They're at home, UN." Britain answered. "North has gotten sick and France is taking care of him."

"Surprised he isn't taking care of himself..." I heard someone mutter. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch who it was.

Relieved that two more countries didn't go missing, I let out a sigh of relief. Now onto the worst part of this meeting. "As you all know, I have called you here for an important announcement."
