Britain stepped threw the halls no minding anything. It was dark due to the sun not being up but the sky was light, the clouds were all a silhouette. He slightly smiled at the soft blue colors, even though the palace was big, having a teenager and very loud twin countries could make some ruckus. The carpet was a scarlet red color with one side of the hallway being covered with art and furniture. The other was full of tall glass windows to look at the beautiful horizon with the city in the distance. Rose bushes covered the bottom of the outside window.

Britain then heard some scuffling behind him, he turned and saw-

"Oh... It's you..." Britain said in annoyance.

"Why the long face amigo?!" Spanish Empire was a very loud and pesky country, and differently not an 'amigo' to Britain. Spanish chuckled then walked around Britain for a little, looking at Britain and the scenery. "You got a nice place," He paused to face Britain who was annoyed already. "You know I have this lovely place called Las Islas Filipinas." Spanish bragged.

"Ya, whatever Spanish Empire." Britain tried to walk away but then heard a door slam open a couple of feet behind the two.

"British Empire!" Britain groaned hearing the sound of France.

Spanish smirked and waved at France who stood there in the doorway. "Ooo, Hi ally! Is this the man you're looking for~?!" Spanish teased, Britain rolled his eyes then turned to face France who had an angry look. "I'm going to steal- I mean look at all your stuff but totally not watch this unfold from a distance." Spanish Empire walks backward out of the hall slowly and wanting to see what happens.

France stomped over to her ex-husband and practically yelled right in his face. "My kids have run away just like the last one!"

"Oh! Your children? Last I checked I help make them." Britain smiled.

France growled, "I was the only one taking care of them!"

"Then how did they escape under your watch?" Britain stayed calm but was laughing at his jokes on the inside.

"I-" She cut herself off and groaned again. "Just tell me if you know where they are."

Britain looked up past France and saw New Zealand and Australia laughing at each other with Canada following behind, not that far down the hall. Canada looked over, saw France, panicked then grabbed the two forcefully to hide in the room they were just in.

"Nope. It's a total mystery." Britain said monotone and was bent slightly down to be at her hight.

"Well, we-!" Britain cut France off, Britain stood up strat and put both his hands up.

"Woah! This sounds personal. Maybe you should do personal progress." Britain tried to walk away, France kept yelling at him forcing him to stay.

"You can't just walk away from this conversation!"

"Actually, I can," Britain responded.

"Spanish! Back me up!"

Both Empires turned to see Spanish poke out of a different hallway.

"I-I... Don't think I should be involved."

"Spain..." France said in anger.

Spanish Empire hesitated but tried to talk back to the British Empire. "I-I think Portugal should be here!" He blurts out them heard the silent confusion. "I'm just going to go..." Spanish held his head low as he truthfully left the two.
