Alfred didn't fight when Ivan pressed the bottle to his lips. Instead he drank the water gladly letting the memories fade. Suddenly feeling sleepy he started to drift of feeling a drop slid down his lips. Soon he was in a deep sleep and Ivan laid him down and covered him.

Leaving the room he saw the other one sitting by the steps looking concerned. Eyes looked on his. "He's here isn't he?"

"Da. Come Alfred, we have much to talk about."

Frowning the other stood and walked with him to the study. "I'm sure we do."

Once they seated Ivan began to tell him how a nation could part into two different people without truly dividing from one.

"Then is it alright for us to be part as such?"

"No. DO you not see how you two are comply changing. You can not smile, and he can. He can't control his urge to dream all the time, you can. In short you've been apart far to long. It's trying to turn you into separate people. However if that came true it could kill you."

"…What do I do to stop it?"

"You must fuse with him again."

"How?"

Ivan frowned. "You have to fuse by yourself… When he wakes up you will see. For now… why don't you rest?"

The union stood and walked up to him and sat on his lap. "What if I disappear?"

"You will not. It is like remembering two pasts as one."

"Hm…"

Ivan hugged him tighter. "I promise you will not."

"No! I ain't goin at do it!"

"Alfred you have to!"

"N-no, Ivan! I don't wanna! I'ma be gone the second we be fusin!"

Ivan began to wonder if telling the America when the potion had worn off and was not regretting trying to get him to do it. Instead he was having a hard time chasing him down. For someone who eats not but fast food, Alfred was fast.

Chasing him down the hall Ivan almost caught him but he wiggled away at the last second. Still running after him Ivan saw the Union watching from a slightly opened door. The blue just watching and nothing more.

"Alfred!"

"NO…!"

Still chasing him he fallowed him in the kitchen and nearly fall when Alfred tripped on nothing. Getting his balance he reaching for Alfred who crawled backwards away form him and then broke his wall. Punched a gaping hole right through it and took off.

"He's pretty fast… Maybe you should… track him?"

Ivan looked back as the Union walked down slowly and carefully. He knew they were running out of time now. The union was getting weaker and the Confederate strong. Looking he saw the other following with his eyes sharply.

"Your eyes have healed?"

"Yes. I can see clear now."

"But your voice is weak. Your losing it."

Alfred shrugged. "I'll be okay. Just need to rest."

"Come. I will take you to rest and here is a cell phone. Call me anytime."

"A… A what?"

"… Let me show you…"

Alfred continued to run as fast as he could. Looking back he could see he was far from the house. Only problem was he was now stuck in the cold. Shivering he started to run again and ended up in a town and hurried into a shop.

Shaking he looked out of the window trying to see if Ivan was going to find him. As he watched his glasses suddenly got blurred. Taking them off he cleaned them and put them back on. Confused when they stilled blurred he cleaned them again. And again and then realized…

"I can't see…."

His vision was too blurry with out his glasses but with them it was almost worse. Feeling sick he sat down in the corner of the shop and covered his eyes. Maybe if he rested it would go away. Slowly he began to drift off to sleep.

Ivan drove down the road. How far had he run? Sure Alfred was fast and strong but he couldn't have gotten that far. Soon he came to a village. Get off he looked around and asked about if an American blonde whom had run off and was in a certain state.

After looking into five shops someone told him about a blonde hiding in one by the front window. He was covering his eyes.

"There you are."

"I can't see… My visions all burry even with my glasses…"

Sighing Ivan picked him up with out a moments hesitation and took him away. Once in the car he started to drive them home.

"I know how to get you both back as one and it will take about a week to do it."

"Why a week?" Alfred asked leaning on him.

"Because I need to take you both home to your country. That and did I not promise you I would take you out?"

"So yer are sayin I'ma disappear!" Alfred wailed.

Once back in America the and after a very long week Ivan was glad to have them both sitting down together.

"So what do we do?" The union asked.

"I need you two to make a small cut on your palms and then hold hands cut to cut."

"I ain't wanna." Alfred pouted.

"You are uncivilized."

"I ain't either!"

Ivan wathced them yell at each other before he reached over and grabbed their plams and made the cuts himself.

"Hurry. You are running out of time."

And with that he forced their hands together. Years ago when he had his cival war Russia had done this. It was only a light pain. He had neglected that fact that both of them had been split for far to many years and they both lt out screams of pain as wind and light wrapped around them pushing Ivan far. Back.

"America!"

"Ivan…!"

"Vanya…!"

The light got to bright and Ivan had to look away and as soon as it had appeared it had vanished.
