Chapter 4

Alfred hugs his brother Matthew tightly. Matthew fails about a bit. His voice comes out a horse whisper, "Al I need to breath!" Alfred lets his brother go and hold him at arms length. He studies Matthew for a moment before smiling.

"I am glad you are back." Alfred smiles broadly.

Matthew looks about himself as he answers his brother. "I am very glad to be back." He frowns looking at his hand, there was a new ring on it. It had a red maple leaf in the stone. He noted his brother and their fellow countries were all wearing rings that bore their symbols. He holds it up looking at Arthur knowing, he would know the answer.

Llewella sees the ring on Matthew's finger and smiles. "It is to protect you." Matthew looks over at her. "Hello, I am Llewella, this is my brother Aaron." She points at the young man wearing green. She sighs and points at a blonde head peering down from a floating carpet. "That is Brianna. You really should put away the flying carpet." Brianna missed the irritated sound in her friend's voice that heralded something bad about to happen to Brianna. England's mucchi was sitting innocently on Brianna's shoulder, giggling. He did not know the danger he was in. Or what was about to happen next to him.

"No I am having fun." Brianna pouted. "Plus you are not my mother!"

Llewella rolls her eyes, she ways her hand a huge tempest wave hits the carpet with Brianna and mucchi sitting on it. The carpet, mucchi and Brianna go flying though the air. Brianna lands on her feet, and the mucchi goes flying out of the room and lands in another chair. The carpet rolls up and pops out of existence.

"Oh I will get you for that." Brianna glares at her friend. She wrung  out her blonde hair.  She noticed Llewella did not look one bit contrite. "I cannot believe you soaked me." She notices the gleam in her friend's eye. "No, I do not need help drying off."  She looks up at her tan carpetbag. It floats down to her. She opens it and  jumps in.

The purple carpetbag floats over to where the soaked mucchi was sitting. Holding a towel it dries the mucchi off. The mucchi seemed a bit peeved and it also understood what the carpetbag was saying. The mucchi watched the carpetbag float back to it's spot on the ceiling.

Aaron went over to check Matthew and tried not to look at a very soaked Brianna. Her clothing clung to her in ways he did not want to think about. He glared at his sister trying to think of a way to get her for that mental image of the very wet Brianna. He did not need any help. Llewella just smirked at her big brother.

"Are you ok?" Aaron asked Matthew, as Aaron looked the northern county over. His senses told him that the young country was none the worse for wear from his confinement in the mirror. He did need to eat though. "Sis is there any food left on that table?"

"I got it!" Brianna's voice startled the crowd. She popped out of the carpetbag. In her hands was a platter of pancakes drenched in maple syrup. "For Matthew because no one ever thinks of him, idiots." She smiles at Canada. Brianna is now in the same gear as before but it is now tan skirt and a white shirt. She hands Matthew the pancakes. He seizes the fork and starts to dig in. Alfred tries to take a pancake and Matthew stabs his brother with his fork. "Mine." He growls at Alfred.

"Damn." Alfred sighs rubbing his hand that Matthew just forked. "I am still hungry."

"Bottomless pit he is." Llewella arched her eyebrow.

"Da," Ivan agrees still amused by his mucchi.

"I think after Matthew eats we should all retire." Arthur points out. "We can keep working on this puzzle until everyone is out of the mirrors. Than we can work on the puzzle of how to free ourselves from this place."

Everyone nods. The counties wander off to their bed chambers. Arthur looks at the three young people. "This way. We actually have way more rooms than people even when the others were not trapped."
After Arthur shows the teenagers to their rooms. He spots Ivan. "Have not got your mucchi back?" He looks at the taller man. The Russian fills the door to his room.

"Nyet," Ivan said. "I think I have been abandoned for the moment." He smiles a little. "I think he likes the little American girl. Makes me miss the cute blonde sister of Alfred's and Matthew's"

"They have two blonde sisters." Arthur corrected than laughed. "Oh you mean Amelia, the female America." He smiled. " Not Madison, the female Canadian."

"Yes 'Lia." Ivan smiled. "I am off to bed now Arthur Спокойной ночи!" (AN pronounced: Spuh – koi – nai no – chee )

"Yeah Peaceful night to you as well Ivan." He smiled as Ivan shut the door to his room. Arthur goes to his room and finds his mucchi plotting away. "You know, she did not do that to get you right?"

"Squeak!" the mucchi said still plotting away.

Arthur sighs and pulls on his bed clothes, he would normally not wear them but last time he forgot to grab his robe. He shook his head he was still amused at how many of the guys had gotten nose bleeds. Alfred the git made a comment about how well he was endowed.

The next day while Arthur was getting ready for his day. He noticed his mucchi was missing. "Damn, that little git is off making mischief and I have a feeling I know whom he might be trying to get." Arthur winced thinking of the magical feel of the young woman he thought his mucchi was going to go after. "I do not need fried mucchi on top of everything else."

He finished dressing quickly hoping he could advert catastrophe, he feared he was going to be too late. He hurried down the hall toward the room he had shown Llewella to the night before. She loved it when she saw it. It was all deep purples and blacks with some silver trimmings.

"EKKK YOU LITTLE PEEPING TOM!" Everyone in the house heard Llewella scream. The next thing that happened was the loudest kaboom they ever heard. Arthur ran quickly down the hall as if his life depended on it.

A white ball of puff came rocketing out of Llewella's room. Arthur catches his mucchi and the pair go flying into Ivan's door. The force of Llewella's blow had sent the mucchi flying out of her space at inconsiderable speed.

Llewella comes out wearing only a towel on her slight frame. Her eyes looked to have dancing lighting storms and uber scary to the country and his mucchi. The mucchi was trembling now. It at first seemed triumphant, now it was not so sure. The mucchi tried to hide behind Arthur, he managed. She had lightening on her hands winding around her hands like snakes.

Aaron, Brianna, Alfred, Matthew come running down the hall, all are fully dressed and looking confused. Aaron knew that no one in their right mind angers his little sister, now if they were left minded like Brianna they did. She was prone to frying the crap out of things.

Ivan opens his door and looks down at Arthur who just had hit his door catching his mucchi. Ivan was standing there in his own towel. Ivan stares across the hall at the also toweled Llewella. She was a bit pale for his own liking, but she make some young man happy or young woman happy for that matter.

Brianna suddenly smirks. She says softly so only Alfred hears her. "Paybacks 'Ella." A sudden wind roars down the hall. It is a clean desert smelling wind. Two towels go flying down the hall. Ivan looks down at himself. He watches as a pink scarf goes down to hide his endowment. He also notes that Arthur's mucchi was now on Arthur's head trying to help hide what Ivan was so naturally gifted with.

Llewella watched Ivan's towel go flying. She realizes he is stark naked. She also can see why Amelia misses the big Russian. She realizes she is staring and than realizes she herself is missing her towel. She takes a deep breath, grabs her door and closes it behind her.

Arthur watches as Llewella's towel goes flying off of her because of the wind that Brianna conjured up. He quickly closed his eyes. He felt Ivan's towel also go flying and was suddenly very grateful he was facing the young woman. Not that he never seen the big Russian naked before, Ivan was not widely known for his modesty.

"Brianna!" Aaron growled. "I so did not need to see that! Either of that!" Pointing over to where Ivan was standing in the doorway, naked.

Matthew covers Brianna's eyes. "You do not need to see Ivan naked."

"Thank you I forgot about that." Brianna said softly. "Is he still standing there?"

"Yes he is still standing there amused. Llewella has disappeared into her room." Matthew stated. "She did not seem as embarrassed as I was expecting."

"My sister does not find nudity embarrassing." Aaron sighed. "I am embarrassed enough for us both I suppose."

"Ivan please go back in your room and get dressed." Arthur asked as he stood up his back to the bigger Russian.

Ivan laughed and clasped Arthur on the shoulder. "Alright comrade, I will."  Ivan walked back into his room and shut his own door behind him.

"Aaron, your sister is hot." Alfred said with a smirk. Aaron turned beet red and looked at America. He looked like he wanted to say something but was interrupted by Arthur.

Arthur holding on to his mucchi. "Where you trying to get yourself killed?! Honestly you little git could you not feel the power rolling off that young woman?" He squeezed his mucchi.

Arthur's mucchi squeaked at him.

Arthur gave him a look. "I think, honestly by her reaction, if she would have known you where there she would not have blasted you. But no, you had to pull what the Americans would say 'peeping tom' honestly."

His mucchi looked embarrassed, but not like it would not do that again. Aaron walked over as Matthew takes his hand off Brianna's eyes. Alfred stood there smirking.

Aaron looked at the mucchi. "Please be careful next time. You were lucky this time." The mucchi looked at Aaron like he done lost his mind. "Ella is not one to surprise. She does not react well. One time someone surprised her and it rained inside the house."

Brianna blushed. "That was totally my fault. I surprised her and was trying to cheer her up." She paused. "The rain was her own fault, she was depressed that old boyfriend of hers... Now the lighting in the hallways that was my fault because I though making her mad would cheer her up. I was a tiny bit wrong." She made a motion with her fingers meaning a small bit and Aaron gave her a look.

Arthur's mucchi's eyes got wider. He squeaked.

Aaron looked at him. "No we got the git as you just asked. No one breaks my little sister's heart." He whistled a little bit. "He made a nice frog though, til mom found out. Than I got grounded and had to go find him in the swamp."

"He did make a great frog." Brianna agreed. "Too bad you had to change him back." Brianna looked at Aaron. "It was your own fault your mother found out ya know."

Aaron blushed. "You try hiding something from her she has special mom esp."

"Your mom does even I cannot get anything past her and I am good." Brianna nodded.

Matthew, Arthur and Alfred watched the byplay between the two. They were amused by the two young people. Arthur was sure that the pair had feeling for each other but he was unsure if they realized the other like the other. It was all rather mind boggling once one started to think about it.

Llewella appears at the same time as Ivan they are both fully dressed. They eye each other for the moment. Than join the others congregating in the hall.

"You turned a boy into a frog?" Matthew asked puzzled. He was still getting used to the idea of magic. Even though he totally understood that. Magic was part of the reason they existed.

"Yeah Aaron did." Llewella smiled, "He made a nice frog. He makes a better canary."

Brianna's eyes widened. "LLEWELLA!"

"What a moment, that new canary of yours is HIM!" Aaron pointed at his sister.

Matthew blinked, "he is a canary now?!"

"Yeah I told mom what he said and what his family said. Now I have a family of canary." Llewella shrugged.

Ivan just started to laugh. "Now that my comrades is funny. Son gets in trouble with mother, than daughter tell mother why and mother fixes it. Beautiful and so Russian. Are you sure your family is not Russian?"

Llewella looks at him. "No we are Irish, though Mum likes to tease Da about some Russian on his side of the blood line, not conformed." She smiled. "Well we do have rules and conduct codes and what they did went against one." Llewella sighed. "He and his lovely family will be free of it in another six months. I got stuck taking care of them." She made a face.

"Oh those rules." Brianna stated. She made a face too. "I hate all their rules and regs. I am still surprised they are allowing us to do this." Brianna went on, "I on the other hand am Heinz 57 American, got a little Irish, English, Russian, Welsh, Canadian, Norway, Danish and others...."

"Rules?" Alfred asked he was amused by Brianna's list which is almost typical of most Americans, unless they were recent arrivals.

Llewella smacks Alfred with a huge book in his chest, that had about two thousand pages in it. "This is part one of three thousand and thirteen books on magical rules and what not."

Alfred grunted under the weight taking the book from her. "Wow," he looked at the cover. "Wow, you all have to live by these rules?"

"Who got you permission?" Arthur asked looking at the young people in question. He say Llewella smile lightly at him.

"Elizabeth, Inna and Amelia all insisted." Llewella said softly. "They felt we would free you all."

"Yeah, but my family considers them guidelines." Brianna smiled slightly. "Than again we have never done rules well. I figure as long as you don't go about hurting anyone. Why have rules."

"Well that is why there are rules." Arthur pointed out. "Not all people self regulate well." They all nodded. "Breakfast should be on." With those words Arthur found himself with Llewella and Ivan for company the others took off quickly to go get breakfast. Brianna and Matthew were a bit a head of Alfred. Aaron was neck and neck with Alfred for a little bit. They wanted to beat him there, or there might not be any breakfast.

Brianna reaches back and grabs Matthew's hand to help him keep up. Aaron keeps up, barely. Brianna and Matthew both hear Aaron wheezing a bit beside them. "I am not getting in line behind the bottomless pit!" Aaron wheezes.

Brianna and Matthew smiled and nodded as the three raced Alfred down the hall. Aaron had Matthew's other hand as they kept running. The Canadian felt sorry for the other young man so he grabbed his hand to help him along too.

"No fair!" Alfred shouted after them. "You are totally not allowed to help my little brother!!"

"Free will you promised that!" Aaron and Brianna both shouted as they all ran.

Matthew laughed merrily along as he tried to keep up with the over energetic Brianna. They made it, barely. The three got their plates and were at the end of the buffet. Alfred was just at the beginning.

Meanwhile back down the hallway; Arthur, Ivan and Llewella all looked at each other. "Think they beat him?"

"Da," Ivan agreed. "Now the real question is. Will there be any food left?"

Arthur smiled. "Oh there will be food left. This place seems to take into account Alfred's feeding habits."

Ivan and Llewella laugh as the three walk slowly down the stairs to the dining hall. When they arrived to the dining hall they found that everyone had made it. Alfred had ten plates all around him. Brianna stole one of his breakfast sandwiches. Alfred looks at her, she sticks out her tongue at him.

Matthew laughed, "don't Alfred you do owe her two sandwiches." Matthew reminded his twin. Alfred glared and tossed her another sandwich. Brianna caught it.

Llewella checks on her brother and her friend. She gets poked in the back. Frowning she turns around to find Arthur's mucchi holding a plate for her. She takes the plate. "Thank you, I suppose you are not that bad are you?" She looked at him. He sat on her shoulder and nuzzled her.

Brianna heard a small growl. She frowned and watched as Ivan's mucchi takes the empty shoulder and glares at Arthur's mucchi.

"No boys." Llewella said to them. "No fighting. I will bounce both." The Russian mucchi snuggled and mewed in apologize. The English mucchi mewed and snuggled as well.

Ivan sat with Arthur with their own plates. "I think they are developing an unholy attachment to Llewella da."

Arthur nodded. "Well at least our two and France's mucchi seems to like her as well."

Ivan winced. "That one will be a trouble da. When they free him."

"I think you might be right. France is a free love man." Arthur shook his head as he ate.

Llewella looks at her leg after she sits down. "What the..." She looks again realizing that it was being fondled. "oh a rose, oh, why are you doing that. That is my leg."

"Better yours than mine!" Brianna pointed out. "I'd send that perv flying."

Llewella reached under the table and plucks France's mucchi looking at the rose. She sits him on the table and hands him a cookie. The three mucchis now attached to Llewella were eating cookies.

"Don't even say it." Llewella pointed at her brother. "I know I cannot take them home with me."

Aaron opened his mouth than shut it. "They also do not belong to us."

"I know!"

Brianna chimes in just to annoy Aaron. "But they are so dang cute!"

Aaron sighs looking defeated.

After breakfast, Llewella wandered down the hall. She opened a set of doors. She found herself in a room full of instruments. Her eyes were drawn to the grand piano. She sat down and started her warm ups.

Brianna looked around and notices Llewella was missing. She looks at Aaron. "Get the game plan from Arthur. Your sister has wandered off."

"Oh that could be bad. Find her, I don't want any trouble." Aaron nodded.

Brianna walked down the hall. She realized she was hearing warm-up scales and she smiles. Spotting the open double doors, she walks in. She picks up one of the violins. She starts her warm-ups and tuning. Llewella laughed slightly as the pair warms up.

"Winter sonata, only you?" Brianna asked.

Llewella nodded. The two began to play. The music floated though the house. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Aaron frowned than laughed. "Those two."  Arthur looks at Aaron. "My sister and Brianna, they must have found the music room."

"They sound beautiful together." Ivan stated.

Arthur looks at the table with the mirrors. Two of the mirrors stood up on their handle ends. "Guys." Arthur's voice was soft and commanding. The countries and Aaron all looked at him and than to where he was pointing.

Aaron's eyes widened. "Wow, two today."

"I think so." Arthur said.

Ivan smiled, "Da."

The mucchis all went down the hall quickly. They loved hearing the music playing. They missed hearing music.

The two mirrors floated down the hall toward the music room. The other countries were a bit odded out by the floating mirrors. Ivan gave them a look and they moved to the side. Ivan walked strongly down the hall. In his wake Arthur, Matthew, Aaron and Alfred followed.

They all stood in the doorway looking in at the two currently playing. Llewella and Brianna were oblivious to the two men now sitting next to them.  Roderick sat next to Llewella on the piano bench. He wore a faint smile on his face as he watched the young woman play. Francis sat in a chair next to Brianna watching both girls play.

They played three more instrumentals together. When Llewella turned to say something to Brianna about the music she realized Roderick was sitting next to her. Llewella jumps and ends up on the carpeted floor.

Roderick helps her up. "Gracies  beautiful young woman. That was truly beautiful." He smiled at her. He than looks over at an equally stunned Brianna. "Gracies young woman, so beautiful." Both women found themselves blushing lightly.

"Bravo! Magnifique! That was beautiful!" Francis clapped as he stood up. "You two play well. Merci."

Brianna and Llewella looked at each other. "Really, they are free?" Brianna looked at Llewella than the group at the door. Once she looked at them it seemed to unfreeze them from their places.

Francis, Roderick found themselves being hugged and their backs slapped. They all returned to the huge sitting room where France and Austria both got another round of welcomes for the others that were not trapped or never where.

Arthur noted that both countries were wearing the rings that the girls had brought with them. He smiled, at least as they got free they never be trapped again. "I do hope we can free the others two at a time each time."

"Aga." Ivan smiled. "To be free would be good comrade."

Chapter 4

Alfred hugs his brother Matthew tightly. Matthew fails about a bit. His voice comes out a horse whisper, "Al I need to breath!" Alfred lets his brother go and hold him at arms length. He studies Matthew for a moment before smiling.

"I am glad you are back." Alfred smiles broadly.

Matthew looks about himself as he answers his brother. "I am very glad to be back." He frowns looking at his hand, there was a new ring on it. It had a red maple leaf in the stone. He noted his brother and their fellow countries were all wearing rings that bore their symbols. He holds it up looking at Arthur knowing, he would know the answer.

Llewella sees the ring on Matthew's finger and smiles. "It is to protect you." Matthew looks over at her. "Hello, I am Llewella, this is my brother Aaron." She points at the young man wearing green. She sighs and points at a blonde head peering down from a floating carpet. "That is Brianna. You really should put away the flying carpet." Brianna missed the irritated sound in her friend's voice that heralded something bad about to happen to Brianna. England's mucchi was sitting innocently on Brianna's shoulder, giggling. He did not know the danger he was in. Or what was about to happen next to him.

"No I am having fun." Brianna pouted. "Plus you are not my mother!"

Llewella rolls her eyes, she ways her hand a huge tempest wave hits the carpet with Brianna and mucchi sitting on it. The carpet, mucchi and Brianna go flying though the air. Brianna lands on her feet, and the mucchi goes flying out of the room and lands in another chair. The carpet rolls up and pops out of existence.

"Oh I will get you for that." Brianna glares at her friend. She wrung  out her blonde hair.  She noticed Llewella did not look one bit contrite. "I cannot believe you soaked me." She notices the gleam in her friend's eye. "No, I do not need help drying off."  She looks up at her tan carpetbag. It floats down to her. She opens it and  jumps in.

The purple carpetbag floats over to where the soaked mucchi was sitting. Holding a towel it dries the mucchi off. The mucchi seemed a bit peeved and it also understood what the carpetbag was saying. The mucchi watched the carpetbag float back to it's spot on the ceiling.

Aaron went over to check Matthew and tried not to look at a very soaked Brianna. Her clothing clung to her in ways he did not want to think about. He glared at his sister trying to think of a way to get her for that mental image of the very wet Brianna. He did not need any help. Llewella just smirked at her big brother.

"Are you ok?" Aaron asked Matthew, as Aaron looked the northern county over. His senses told him that the young country was none the worse for wear from his confinement in the mirror. He did need to eat though. "Sis is there any food left on that table?"

"I got it!" Brianna's voice startled the crowd. She popped out of the carpetbag. In her hands was a platter of pancakes drenched in maple syrup. "For Matthew because no one ever thinks of him, idiots." She smiles at Canada. Brianna is now in the same gear as before but it is now tan skirt and a white shirt. She hands Matthew the pancakes. He seizes the fork and starts to dig in. Alfred tries to take a pancake and Matthew stabs his brother with his fork. "Mine." He growls at Alfred.

"Damn." Alfred sighs rubbing his hand that Matthew just forked. "I am still hungry."

"Bottomless pit he is." Llewella arched her eyebrow.

"Da," Ivan agrees still amused by his mucchi.

"I think after Matthew eats we should all retire." Arthur points out. "We can keep working on this puzzle until everyone is out of the mirrors. Than we can work on the puzzle of how to free ourselves from this place."

Everyone nods. The counties wander off to their bed chambers. Arthur looks at the three young people. "This way. We actually have way more rooms than people even when the others were not trapped."
After Arthur shows the teenagers to their rooms. He spots Ivan. "Have not got your mucchi back?" He looks at the taller man. The Russian fills the door to his room.

"Nyet," Ivan said. "I think I have been abandoned for the moment." He smiles a little. "I think he likes the little American girl. Makes me miss the cute blonde sister of Alfred's and Matthew's"

"They have two blonde sisters." Arthur corrected than laughed. "Oh you mean Amelia, the female America." He smiled. " Not Madison, the female Canadian."

"Yes 'Lia." Ivan smiled. "I am off to bed now Arthur Спокойной ночи!" (AN pronounced: Spuh – koi – nai no – chee )

"Yeah Peaceful night to you as well Ivan." He smiled as Ivan shut the door to his room. Arthur goes to his room and finds his mucchi plotting away. "You know, she did not do that to get you right?"

"Squeak!" the mucchi said still plotting away.

Arthur sighs and pulls on his bed clothes, he would normally not wear them but last time he forgot to grab his robe. He shook his head he was still amused at how many of the guys had gotten nose bleeds. Alfred the git made a comment about how well he was endowed.

The next day while Arthur was getting ready for his day. He noticed his mucchi was missing. "Damn, that little git is off making mischief and I have a feeling I know whom he might be trying to get." Arthur winced thinking of the magical feel of the young woman he thought his mucchi was going to go after. "I do not need fried mucchi on top of everything else."

He finished dressing quickly hoping he could advert catastrophe, he feared he was going to be too late. He hurried down the hall toward the room he had shown Llewella to the night before. She loved it when she saw it. It was all deep purples and blacks with some silver trimmings.

"EKKK YOU LITTLE PEEPING TOM!" Everyone in the house heard Llewella scream. The next thing that happened was the loudest kaboom they ever heard. Arthur ran quickly down the hall as if his life depended on it.

A white ball of puff came rocketing out of Llewella's room. Arthur catches his mucchi and the pair go flying into Ivan's door. The force of Llewella's blow had sent the mucchi flying out of her space at inconsiderable speed.

Llewella comes out wearing only a towel on her slight frame. Her eyes looked to have dancing lighting storms and uber scary to the country and his mucchi. The mucchi was trembling now. It at first seemed triumphant, now it was not so sure. The mucchi tried to hide behind Arthur, he managed. She had lightening on her hands winding around her hands like snakes.

Aaron, Brianna, Alfred, Matthew come running down the hall, all are fully dressed and looking confused. Aaron knew that no one in their right mind angers his little sister, now if they were left minded like Brianna they did. She was prone to frying the crap out of things.

Ivan opens his door and looks down at Arthur who just had hit his door catching his mucchi. Ivan was standing there in his own towel. Ivan stares across the hall at the also toweled Llewella. She was a bit pale for his own liking, but she make some young man happy or young woman happy for that matter.

Brianna suddenly smirks. She says softly so only Alfred hears her. "Paybacks 'Ella." A sudden wind roars down the hall. It is a clean desert smelling wind. Two towels go flying down the hall. Ivan looks down at himself. He watches as a pink scarf goes down to hide his endowment. He also notes that Arthur's mucchi was now on Arthur's head trying to help hide what Ivan was so naturally gifted with.

Llewella watched Ivan's towel go flying. She realizes he is stark naked. She also can see why Amelia misses the big Russian. She realizes she is staring and than realizes she herself is missing her towel. She takes a deep breath, grabs her door and closes it behind her.

Arthur watches as Llewella's towel goes flying off of her because of the wind that Brianna conjured up. He quickly closed his eyes. He felt Ivan's towel also go flying and was suddenly very grateful he was facing the young woman. Not that he never seen the big Russian naked before, Ivan was not widely known for his modesty.

"Brianna!" Aaron growled. "I so did not need to see that! Either of that!" Pointing over to where Ivan was standing in the doorway, naked.

Matthew covers Brianna's eyes. "You do not need to see Ivan naked."

"Thank you I forgot about that." Brianna said softly. "Is he still standing there?"

"Yes he is still standing there amused. Llewella has disappeared into her room." Matthew stated. "She did not seem as embarrassed as I was expecting."

"My sister does not find nudity embarrassing." Aaron sighed. "I am embarrassed enough for us both I suppose."

"Ivan please go back in your room and get dressed." Arthur asked as he stood up his back to the bigger Russian.

Ivan laughed and clasped Arthur on the shoulder. "Alright comrade, I will."  Ivan walked back into his room and shut his own door behind him.

"Aaron, your sister is hot." Alfred said with a smirk. Aaron turned beet red and looked at America. He looked like he wanted to say something but was interrupted by Arthur.

Arthur holding on to his mucchi. "Where you trying to get yourself killed?! Honestly you little git could you not feel the power rolling off that young woman?" He squeezed his mucchi.

Arthur's mucchi squeaked at him.

Arthur gave him a look. "I think, honestly by her reaction, if she would have known you where there she would not have blasted you. But no, you had to pull what the Americans would say 'peeping tom' honestly."

His mucchi looked embarrassed, but not like it would not do that again. Aaron walked over as Matthew takes his hand off Brianna's eyes. Alfred stood there smirking.

Aaron looked at the mucchi. "Please be careful next time. You were lucky this time." The mucchi looked at Aaron like he done lost his mind. "Ella is not one to surprise. She does not react well. One time someone surprised her and it rained inside the house."

Brianna blushed. "That was totally my fault. I surprised her and was trying to cheer her up." She paused. "The rain was her own fault, she was depressed that old boyfriend of hers... Now the lighting in the hallways that was my fault because I though making her mad would cheer her up. I was a tiny bit wrong." She made a motion with her fingers meaning a small bit and Aaron gave her a look.

Arthur's mucchi's eyes got wider. He squeaked.

Aaron looked at him. "No we got the git as you just asked. No one breaks my little sister's heart." He whistled a little bit. "He made a nice frog though, til mom found out. Than I got grounded and had to go find him in the swamp."

"He did make a great frog." Brianna agreed. "Too bad you had to change him back." Brianna looked at Aaron. "It was your own fault your mother found out ya know."

Aaron blushed. "You try hiding something from her she has special mom esp."

"Your mom does even I cannot get anything past her and I am good." Brianna nodded.

Matthew, Arthur and Alfred watched the byplay between the two. They were amused by the two young people. Arthur was sure that the pair had feeling for each other but he was unsure if they realized the other like the other. It was all rather mind boggling once one started to think about it.

Llewella appears at the same time as Ivan they are both fully dressed. They eye each other for the moment. Than join the others congregating in the hall.

"You turned a boy into a frog?" Matthew asked puzzled. He was still getting used to the idea of magic. Even though he totally understood that. Magic was part of the reason they existed.

"Yeah Aaron did." Llewella smiled, "He made a nice frog. He makes a better canary."

Brianna's eyes widened. "LLEWELLA!"

"What a moment, that new canary of yours is HIM!" Aaron pointed at his sister.

Matthew blinked, "he is a canary now?!"

"Yeah I told mom what he said and what his family said. Now I have a family of canary." Llewella shrugged.

Ivan just started to laugh. "Now that my comrades is funny. Son gets in trouble with mother, than daughter tell mother why and mother fixes it. Beautiful and so Russian. Are you sure your family is not Russian?"

Llewella looks at him. "No we are Irish, though Mum likes to tease Da about some Russian on his side of the blood line, not conformed." She smiled. "Well we do have rules and conduct codes and what they did went against one." Llewella sighed. "He and his lovely family will be free of it in another six months. I got stuck taking care of them." She made a face.

"Oh those rules." Brianna stated. She made a face too. "I hate all their rules and regs. I am still surprised they are allowing us to do this." Brianna went on, "I on the other hand am Heinz 57 American, got a little Irish, English, Russian, Welsh, Canadian, Norway, Danish and others...."

"Rules?" Alfred asked he was amused by Brianna's list which is almost typical of most Americans, unless they were recent arrivals.

Llewella smacks Alfred with a huge book in his chest, that had about two thousand pages in it. "This is part one of three thousand and thirteen books on magical rules and what not."

Alfred grunted under the weight taking the book from her. "Wow," he looked at the cover. "Wow, you all have to live by these rules?"

"Who got you permission?" Arthur asked looking at the young people in question. He say Llewella smile lightly at him.

"Elizabeth, Inna and Amelia all insisted." Llewella said softly. "They felt we would free you all."

"Yeah, but my family considers them guidelines." Brianna smiled slightly. "Than again we have never done rules well. I figure as long as you don't go about hurting anyone. Why have rules."

"Well that is why there are rules." Arthur pointed out. "Not all people self regulate well." They all nodded. "Breakfast should be on." With those words Arthur found himself with Llewella and Ivan for company the others took off quickly to go get breakfast. Brianna and Matthew were a bit a head of Alfred. Aaron was neck and neck with Alfred for a little bit. They wanted to beat him there, or there might not be any breakfast.

Brianna reaches back and grabs Matthew's hand to help him keep up. Aaron keeps up, barely. Brianna and Matthew both hear Aaron wheezing a bit beside them. "I am not getting in line behind the bottomless pit!" Aaron wheezes.

Brianna and Matthew smiled and nodded as the three raced Alfred down the hall. Aaron had Matthew's other hand as they kept running. The Canadian felt sorry for the other young man so he grabbed his hand to help him along too.

"No fair!" Alfred shouted after them. "You are totally not allowed to help my little brother!!"

"Free will you promised that!" Aaron and Brianna both shouted as they all ran.

Matthew laughed merrily along as he tried to keep up with the over energetic Brianna. They made it, barely. The three got their plates and were at the end of the buffet. Alfred was just at the beginning.

Meanwhile back down the hallway; Arthur, Ivan and Llewella all looked at each other. "Think they beat him?"

"Da," Ivan agreed. "Now the real question is. Will there be any food left?"

Arthur smiled. "Oh there will be food left. This place seems to take into account Alfred's feeding habits."

Ivan and Llewella laugh as the three walk slowly down the stairs to the dining hall. When they arrived to the dining hall they found that everyone had made it. Alfred had ten plates all around him. Brianna stole one of his breakfast sandwiches. Alfred looks at her, she sticks out her tongue at him.

Matthew laughed, "don't Alfred you do owe her two sandwiches." Matthew reminded his twin. Alfred glared and tossed her another sandwich. Brianna caught it.

Llewella checks on her brother and her friend. She gets poked in the back. Frowning she turns around to find Arthur's mucchi holding a plate for her. She takes the plate. "Thank you, I suppose you are not that bad are you?" She looked at him. He sat on her shoulder and nuzzled her.

Brianna heard a small growl. She frowned and watched as Ivan's mucchi takes the empty shoulder and glares at Arthur's mucchi.

"No boys." Llewella said to them. "No fighting. I will bounce both." The Russian mucchi snuggled and mewed in apologize. The English mucchi mewed and snuggled as well.

Ivan sat with Arthur with their own plates. "I think they are developing an unholy attachment to Llewella da."

Arthur nodded. "Well at least our two and France's mucchi seems to like her as well."

Ivan winced. "That one will be a trouble da. When they free him."

"I think you might be right. France is a free love man." Arthur shook his head as he ate.

Llewella looks at her leg after she sits down. "What the..." She looks again realizing that it was being fondled. "oh a rose, oh, why are you doing that. That is my leg."

"Better yours than mine!" Brianna pointed out. "I'd send that perv flying."

Llewella reached under the table and plucks France's mucchi looking at the rose. She sits him on the table and hands him a cookie. The three mucchis now attached to Llewella were eating cookies.

"Don't even say it." Llewella pointed at her brother. "I know I cannot take them home with me."

Aaron opened his mouth than shut it. "They also do not belong to us."

"I know!"

Brianna chimes in just to annoy Aaron. "But they are so dang cute!"

Aaron sighs looking defeated.

After breakfast, Llewella wandered down the hall. She opened a set of doors. She found herself in a room full of instruments. Her eyes were drawn to the grand piano. She sat down and started her warm ups.

Brianna looked around and notices Llewella was missing. She looks at Aaron. "Get the game plan from Arthur. Your sister has wandered off."

"Oh that could be bad. Find her, I don't want any trouble." Aaron nodded.

Brianna walked down the hall. She realized she was hearing warm-up scales and she smiles. Spotting the open double doors, she walks in. She picks up one of the violins. She starts her warm-ups and tuning. Llewella laughed slightly as the pair warms up.

"Winter sonata, only you?" Brianna asked.

Llewella nodded. The two began to play. The music floated though the house. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Aaron frowned than laughed. "Those two."  Arthur looks at Aaron. "My sister and Brianna, they must have found the music room."

"They sound beautiful together." Ivan stated.

Arthur looks at the table with the mirrors. Two of the mirrors stood up on their handle ends. "Guys." Arthur's voice was soft and commanding. The countries and Aaron all looked at him and than to where he was pointing.

Aaron's eyes widened. "Wow, two today."

"I think so." Arthur said.

Ivan smiled, "Da."

The mucchis all went down the hall quickly. They loved hearing the music playing. They missed hearing music.

The two mirrors floated down the hall toward the music room. The other countries were a bit odded out by the floating mirrors. Ivan gave them a look and they moved to the side. Ivan walked strongly down the hall. In his wake Arthur, Matthew, Aaron and Alfred followed.

They all stood in the doorway looking in at the two currently playing. Llewella and Brianna were oblivious to the two men now sitting next to them.  Roderick sat next to Llewella on the piano bench. He wore a faint smile on his face as he watched the young woman play. Francis sat in a chair next to Brianna watching both girls play.

They played three more instrumentals together. When Llewella turned to say something to Brianna about the music she realized Roderick was sitting next to her. Llewella jumps and ends up on the carpeted floor.

Roderick helps her up. "Gracies  beautiful young woman. That was truly beautiful." He smiled at her. He than looks over at an equally stunned Brianna. "Gracies young woman, so beautiful." Both women found themselves blushing lightly.

"Bravo! Magnifique! That was beautiful!" Francis clapped as he stood up. "You two play well. Merci."

Brianna and Llewella looked at each other. "Really, they are free?" Brianna looked at Llewella than the group at the door. Once she looked at them it seemed to unfreeze them from their places.

Francis, Roderick found themselves being hugged and their backs slapped. They all returned to the huge sitting room where France and Austria both got another round of welcomes for the others that were not trapped or never where.

Arthur noted that both countries were wearing the rings that the girls had brought with them. He smiled, at least as they got free they never be trapped again. "I do hope we can free the others two at a time each time."

"Aga." Ivan smiled. "To be free would be good comrade."
