confused, not really sure what was going on, until she spotted a familiar face, one that it had been forever since she had seen.

"Evelin!"

smiles upon hearing the familiar voice and turns to see the other. "Sofija!" she says excitedly. Don't mind the hug. She's glad to see one_

of her sisters finally.

ignoring her compulsion to be strong, and throws her arms around her sister joyfully.

"What's going on? Everything is so confusing..."

takes a step back slightly release her grasp. "Ah, well... I think we are in parallel world where all the nations are the opposite gender."_

Yep, that about sums it up.

dumbfounded, and can only stare at her sister for a moment. "...Really?" Evelin was always the more grounded one, so she wouldn't doubt the

other, but it was just surprising. "...So there are alternate versions of us, as well?" The thought of a male her, along with her sisters,

wait, no, brothers here, running around is very discomfiting.

nods. "Yes, I've met only the male Latvia though. A bit concerning due to how long I've been here, but... I'm so glad I finally found you._

I've been so worried."

"As was I! I didn't know where you vanished off to, and so many other nations were going missing, as well..."

chuckles slightly. "I almost thought Miss America had been correct, all those years ago, about aliens invading us."

hesitantly laughs as she thinks of her pets for a moment. "I wish I at least had some explanation though. I don't think anyone knows what_

cause all this." She thinks for a moment. "I have to ask. Is our sister still back at home? I've yet to see her."

nods, frowning worriedly. "Yes, she is... She must be so worried!" She could just think of the smallest sister freaking out and trembling

in fear, all alone. "I hope Poland takes care of her..." She had asked her dear friend, worriedly, to watch her sister if anything happened

to her, and had considered asking the reserve of her sister, but decided against it, seeing as it was Latvia and all.

extremely worried now, but she tries not to let that show. It's probably obivous though. "I hope Poland will take care of her too. Though I_

rather see both of them get here soon..." It bothers her she can't even call Latvia.

*obvious

nods, biting her lip somewhat nervously. "Agreed..." She thinks of something, and blinks worriedly at her sister. "Are R-Russia and

B-Belarus here? I don't want them to be terrorized by the two..." As much as Poland would be unafraid, she probably couldn't do much.

a moment. "I think Miss Anya is here." She swears she can just feel her around sometimes. "... as for Mister Belarus... I haven't seen him_

in a while..." Which could be bad cause if Anya is here and Belarus is not who knows what Belarus might be thinking...

pales slightly, hoping desperately that he would not try to attack her friend and sister. "Oh dear... I hope he finds his way here... Even

if I would be much happier not to see him..." At that last sentence, she glances around, fearing that Belarus or Russia would jump out of

the shadows, ready to attack her for her slight.

nods in agreement as she hopes that maybe nothing bad will happen. She tries to think of something good, which at the moment was a bit hard.

satisfied that neither Belarus nor Russia is going to attack her, at least at this moment, and smiles at her sister. "At least we've got

each other right now, right?" And Latvia and Poland have each other as well, she silently tacks on.

nods managing a smile. "Yes, that's good. Anyways, how long have you been here?"

"Just a few days, but I'm not sure exactly how many." She had been quite confused, when she first arrived, having not been in that area at

all, but thank goodness she had found her sister, or the other way around.

"Well, it's good it hasn't been too long. Have you found a place too stay yet?"

smiles somewhat sheepishly. "I'm staying in a hotel currently... But now that I know what exactly is going on, I'm sure that I can find

something a tad more permanent."

nods. "Well, I'm sure you will find something. I'm at my... well my counterpart's house right now if you need any place to stay."

that maybe she could ask her counterpart, then, but resolves to only use that as a last resort, considering it might be kind of creepy.

"I think I'm fine." She shakes her head, but smiles. "I'll come over if I can't find anyplace, though."

nods. “Okay then.” She didn't think that it would be too creepy. Then again her counterpart is exactly at the house any it seems.

smiles, hugging her sister once more. It was just so good to see her again, after those months. While they had gone longer apart, before,

they had known where the other was, and this time, she had just vanished. Thank goodness she had been safe...

missed the other as well. She really wished she didn't just vanish like that, but it has been nice here. It's not too different from home.

"So how has it been, here in another world? Is anything very different?" She was curious, after all, she thought as she released her sister.

"For the most part, it's actually been rather pleasant here. There are small details. Something moved to another area, but it's overall_

the same. The counterparts are nice enough, and it's been rather interesting to meet them."

nods in response, mulling over the other's answer. "Hm, I suppose it won't be too different from home, then, especially once everyone

here..."

(That's suppose to be "is here", btw, not Sofija is, but I'm pretty sure you could've figured that out. Silly Plurk...)

nods. "Yes, it would probably be nicer once everyone is here. Though I'm not sure if everyone will get along."

smiles at that, giggling softly. "It's bad enough with all of the arguing nations, but two sets of them?" She shakes her head slightly,

trying to imagine that thought. "I'm surprised this world hasn't been destroyed yet."

smiles. "I think though the two sets of those who will stop the arguing holds the world together. But what's more interesting is that not_

everyone know who is who and that can end up a bit...well..."

nods, understanding what her sister is saying. "I ran into Mr. Eng-, Mr. Arthur, earlier today, and I didn't realize who he was." Glancing

around, she leans in, whispering the impolite comment, but being unable to hold it in. "He has such large eyebrows!"

raise an eyebrow at that. "I haven't met him quite yet, but really?" she says quietly.

nods, smiling slightly. "They're huge, and I'm not exaggerating." Not that she was one to exaggerate, but still... "His cooking looks just

as bad as Miss England's, as well." Why were they such awful cooks? Why? At least they kept trying, though, that was certainly admirable.

can almost imagine the eyebrows, especially if they were anything like her pet's.

_"Just as bad? Thanks for warning me then." Yes, if only they knew trying might not be enough for them.

nods, smiling and leaning back. "You're welcome." She displays her basket, showing the goodies inside, her chocolate chip cookies and

Mr. England's scones and Spotted Dicks. "See? No one should have to suffer through that."

looks in. "Oh my. At least the cookies look nice. Though you probably made those right?"

smiles, nodding. "Yes, I did. Would you like some?"

nods. "Yes, I would love some."

her a packet, smiling softly. "You can just ignore Mr. Arthur's food, I'm afraid it's all mixed together."

smiles back. "Yes, I was sort of planning on it." Even Sanna's worse cooking still looked better than the scones. "I'm sure I'll enjoy the_

cookies though."

that if she and Mr. Arthur do get together to cook, she could help him with it. It would probably be better for one of the gourmet nations,

though, which she is definitely not one of. "I hope you do," she tells her sister, feeling pleased that the other likes her cooking.

nods as she lightly wonders if her pet may like the other food in the packet. "We do need to catch up. It's been four, rather long months."

in agreement with her sister's idea, and says so out loud. "Yes, definitely. It feels like forever, doesn't it? Even though we've been

separated for longer..."

nods. “It has felt that way. At least when we were separated before, there was a chance of contacting or seeing each other. I don't know_

anywhere that provides parallel world calling or mailing yet.”

laughed softly at that, smiling at her sister. "Did you happen to have your cell phone on you went you got pulled here? We couldn't find it,

so we assumed you still had it." It had made them worry all the more, knowing that she had her phone but was still not responding. "I have

mine, so we'll be able to contact each other now."

pats her pocket with her phone. Why wouldn't she have it? It was a part of her in a sense. “Jah, I never leave home without it. Your number_

probably works now too since you're here. I've tried several time to call it before. I kept on getting that silly 'this number is not_

available at this time' response, and my texts always came back to me.”

nods, completely unsurprised that her sister has it. "That's what happened to us, as well. I tried calling both Latvia and Poland the other

day, and got those as well." She suppressed a sigh, pushing those thoughts away.

hums almost wishing for one of though Sci-fi shows she watched were true. Then again, she was in a different world. "I see. At least the_

phones work."

smiles slightly, agreeing. "I'm glad you're optimistic, Evelin." At least their phones worked, at least they had each other, at least,

at least, at least. That's all that seemed to keep this world from being an unknown and semi-frightening place, but oh well.

nods with a smile. "I try to be. There are many positive things."

decides to take a quick lesson from her sister, and evaluates the situation, realizing that, well, it's not too bad. Returning the smile,

she speaks up. "Yeah, there are..." Pushing away any sort of melancholy thoughts that came to mind, she shifted slightly in her stance,

before speaking up once more. "I think... I'm going to find a place to stay. Do you want to come with?" Her sister could help, but it

really didn't matter if she didn't want to.

nods. "Sure, I wouldn't mind."

grins, delighted. "Thanks, Evelin!"

smiles. "You're welcome." Spending time with her sister sounded nice anyways.

(Urgh, I dunno what to do! *looks up how to buy a house or apartment)

(Time skipping always works if you want to bypass a few things.)

(Ooh, yes, can we do that? To after she's gotten a house?)

(*nods* Sure, just pick a spot where you want to start from.)

smiles, pleased as she surveys her new house. It looks remarkably like her own home from the other world, except that it was a normal color,

not that bright pink that Poland had painted it when she was bored. Turning to her sister, she speaks up. "Thanks for coming with me!"

nods. “You're welcome.” It definitely was nice to find this place, and it did look rather similar to her sister's house at home.

"Well, come on in, then!" With that, she enters her home, smile still adorning her face. The inside doesn't look like hers, but it's still

rather nice.

follows the other inside. “It's nice.” Though it probably could use a bit more to make it Sofija's home.

nods at her. "Yes, but it'll take some time to get used to." As would this world, though the house more.

“Yes, though at least you can place things where you will remember them, and you'll definitely have time to get used to it.” It didn't seem_

like they were going to leave anytime soon.

smiles, agreeing. "True, that would make it almost the same." She did wish that the last sentence wasn't true, as she did love her world.

does like her world too, but it's what they have to deal with for now. She nods. “A few things that are something you would have. It would_

all work out rather nicely.”

nods in agreement, before yawning. It had been a rather long day. "I think I will head to bed, Evelin. Do you want to stay, or should you be

getting back?"

“I think I should head back. Got to check on a few things at home.” And she doesn't get to bed until later in the evening anyway. A walk_

back home probably would be good for her.

smiles at her sister, pulling her in for a hug. "It was nice to see you again."

hugs the other back. “It's great to see you again too.”

releases her, smiling. "I'll call you, alright? Be careful getting home."

nods. “I'll make sure to call you too, and I will be.”

grins at her sister. "Good, Evelin. Good-bye!"

starts heading off. “See you later, Sofija.”

waves at her, willing to wait and watch until she's gone.
