Britain looked upset today, about something. France had been busy with her kids wanting to show her their pet spiders, snakes and whatnot pets they kept.

"Britain, I was busy but I still noticed your upset about something. You can tell me anything and the recent news about Italy, Greece and Turkey..." France said while standing next to Britain. "I know the news and I worried if they manage to catch us too, I have a plan but you might not like it..." Britain said, not looking at France.

India and Aussie were distracted with their snakes and spiders. "Guys I never get why you like those damn creatures so much" America said while hiding behind Russia so Aussie wouldn't chase him with his spiders, besides the fact Aussie was a spider. "You wouldn't get it" India picked up one of the snakes and said. "They're cool ok mate" Australia said while looking back at America for a moment. "I mean, I do have better snakes than you Aussie-" India was about to say when Australia glared at him. "I'm sorry could you repeat that?" Australia said while glaring at India. "I. have. better. snakes. than. you" India glared back at Aussie. "Well thats a LIE-" Australia was interrupted by India. "It's the truth Aussie" India said while smirking. "Mate your always lying" Aussie said while glaring more intensely at India. "Why you little-"

"News headline of the day, Philipphines, Martial law and Del Pilar were caught last night while trying to help the other south east asians escape. Currently the other south east asians have escaped but the filipino siblings are the only ones to be caught. It is not known yet where ASEAN is but the other south east asians may have excaped to meet ASEAN in Timor-Leste. Germany, Poland, Czechia and Slovakia have also been caught today morning, they were trying to escape where we assume the rest of EU is. Countries are being caught in groups and many countries are still in hiding. If any country is seen then you must report them to the guard forces for your own safety"

....

silence filled the room for a good 10 minutes. "They have got so many countries in a week, who knows when they'll find us too..." China said while looking outside. "Ching Chang Chong there's a reason that we're trying our best to find a way to a more isolated place without anyone noticing" America said looking at China. "I'm worried about Ukraine" Canada said while nervously looking around.

France walked into the living room and immediately noticed that everyone was upset and worried. "What happened? You all were happily doing your own thing before.. did more countries get caught..?" France assumed more countries had been caught which made everyone worried about their other friends who were separated. "Ms France- or mom I guess, the filipino siblings and Germany, Poland, Czechia and Slovakia were also caught... I'm concerned about the other south asians.." India said while looking at Bangla, he knew Bangla was extremely upset because Philipphines was her best friend and there was a chance of Nepal and the other south asians being caught. "Bangla come here" India walked towards Bangladesh who looked back at him and hugged him. "Oh... we need to get out of here then as fast as we can so they don't find us too" France said while looking around the room.

everyone was getting more worried if they could even escape or be caught

Japan and S.Korea were watching some TV when.

"Tonight can be the night of your life! At starlight dance! Get in your most pretty dress and most handsome suit and enjoy your night light!~"

Japan's face light up in excitement. "Oh my god! South we can go to the dance and have a fun nightout!" Japan jumped and said. "Japan I would love to go but we're on the run and people might recognise our human form too" South didn't look happy, he loved going to dances but this wasn't the best time. "But maybe we can find a way to make our human form look less recogniseble!" Japan wanted to go to the dance and take everyone there as a night to forget stress and enjoy. "Sorry Neki(South's nickname for Japan *shipping noises*) but I don't think the others will agree" South didn't want to crush Japan's hope of going to the dance but he knew he had to be honest here. "Oh.. it's alright it was a stupid idea anyways.." Japan was a bit upset but she hadn't given up hope to go to the dance.

Sweden and Bangla were told to get groceries today. Bangla was searching through some shelves and found a bunch of cool masks.

"These look cool, we don't need them now but maybe we can wear them while trying to escape so people don't know it's us!" Bangla though to herself. "come on let's pay for the stuff and go quickly" Sweden's voice snapped Bangladesh out of her thoughts. "Oh yea, and I'm getting these cool masks just in case if we want to leave without being caught" Bangla said showing the masks to Sweden. "They look cool and we should go as our human form won't last more than 6 hrs per day so we don't have much time in case we have to run for it" Sweden said while taking one of the masks from Bangladesh to take a closer look.

after paying the two walked back to the apartment. After they came back, Sweden and Bangla went to talk with Paki, Japan, America, New Zealand and Australia. "Guys we're back" Sweden put the bags aside and said. "Yay! And did you guys hear about that dance happening tonight?" Japan said happily. "Oh yea, I kinda wanted to go but the current situation isn't really helping" America said, thinking of it as a chance to tell Russia about his feelings. "I thought that we could find a way to go there in our human form without being recognised, everyone has been so stressed and it would be a perfect way to have a good memory even during this time!" Japan said with hope. "And lucky for you Japan I grabbed these cool masks which we could wear to the dance and no one will recognise us-" Bangla said which made Japan's entire face light up with happiness and excitement. "YASSS BANGLA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AS A FRIEND" Japan couldn't hold in her happiness of having a wonderful night in such a time. "AnD tHe ShIpS hAvE nO cHoIcE bUt To CoMe" Bangla said while attempting to made the lenny face. "So we're going-" America was interupted by Japan. "Yes you are and so is every ship, I need my daily dose of some Inden and Rusame you know" Japan made the UnU face. Sweden just rolled his eyes and blushed a little. "I- you ship me and Russia-" America tried hiding the blush on his face. "Everyone here does, it's obvious you two like each other~" Japan and Bangla did a high five on getting their ships to come true even in such a situation. "I'm outta here-" Pakistan was about to leave the room. "Bhaiya if you don't come I'll make sure you come with China" Bangla stopped him and said.

"Wait- how do you know they won't recognise us?" India liked the idea of going to the dance but wasn't sure if the masks were going to make them look like the other humans coming to the dance. "Well the humans don't know he we look in our human forms and these masks can also hide most of our faces!" Japan handed India one of the masks. "Japan your lucky I'm your bestie and got these masks" Bangla said in excitement. "I know!" Japan said with a bright and happy face. India looked at Sweden, "So we're also going?" India blushed a little. "Sure since we have the masks and some nice looking cloths" Sweden blushed even more to the idea of going. Russia grabbed America's hand and took him to a separate room. "Will you be my dance-" Russia's bear ears moved a bit down as he blushed asking that. "I wanted to say the same thing so I guess sure" America said and kissed Russia's cheek once. Japan and Bangla were eves dropping and were even more excited.

"hey Japan, I know that your having your Rusame ship moment but I just wanted to ask if you would be my date you know" S.Korea walked towards Japan and Bangladesh. "Oooooo~" Bangla looked towards Japan with her ship face. Japan blushed and her tail wagged. "Of course Korea-kun!" Japan hugged South tightly.

-{Later at the dance}-

The entire group was there except for New Zealand, France and Britain who opted to stay in the apartment instead. (all countries are in their human form)

"woah/this place is cool/ its so big/ looks fun" the countries were amazed by the huge building with all sorts of colored lights, it was around 8pm. India's hands were shaking from how dark it was, Sweden noticed that immediately. "Hey Indiez the dance is inside with all lights not out here in the dark!" Sweden grabbed India's hand and dragged him inside. America and Russia walked in also holding hands. Aussie and Canada took a moment to admire the way the path had a red carpet with 4ft pillars on the sides with plant pots which had beautiful variety of flowers. Vines were also covering the pillars and many humans came dressed in beautiful clothes. "Mate this is awesome!" Aussie said while running in. "Aussie don't run jeez" Canada replied while walking and following Australia. Paki and China just followed the two as well inside.

Australia and Canada were at the casino, America and Russia were getting some food while India and Sweden were exploring when they bumped into Japan and S.Korea. "I'm so glad that even in this time we're able to have a good nightout and enjoy! And I get my ships!~" Japan jumped. "Hey they're playing some K-pop! Come on lets go dance!" South and Japan went to the dance floor. "Bhai! I think they might play some bollywood songs after the K-pop-" Bangla said and immediately India's face lit up with excitement. "Oh I'm not missing a dance on some bollywood songs!" India basically dragged Sweden to the dancefloor.

"Didn't know they were playing some K-pop and bollywood songs" Russia said while looking at the dancefloor. "Neither did I, seems like India's taking his chance to dance on his bollywood songs" America pointed out India dancing while Sweden sighed a bit in embarrassment.

"I swear why did they have to drag me here too" Paki said while drinking some fanta. "I mean it's not really that bad here, wanna dance?" China said while keeping his arm around Paki's shoulder. "I guess but I'm going to dance with you AFTER they stop playing those damn bollywood songs-" Paki said to which China laughed a little. Australia got on the dancefloor and stood next to Sweden. "Will you-" Aussie was cut off by India who grabbed Sweden's hand again and took him to the middle of the dancefloor. "Nope, he's my dance for tonight~" India said and made the UwU face. "Awe damn it now I'll have to dance alone" Australia dramatically shed a tear and started dancing on his alone.

while Australia was pathetically dancing alone in the corner of the dancefloor. Canada was watching from one of the tables while eating some poutine. Pakistan finished his fanta and walked to the dancefloor with China. "I'm terrible at dancing" Paki muttered. "I'm sure your better than Australia at dancing" China looked at Australia's terrible and pathetic roblox dance. "iM tRyInG oK!?" Aussie said while being over dramatic. China rolled his eyes. "Hey Aussie, since your well.. not great at dancing not trying to be rude and all but I think since we both don't have a date we can just grab some more food from the buffet on the first floor and have a brother moment eh" Canada said while getting up. "Yey at least I won't have to embarrass myself with my dancing anymore" Aussie said while walking towards Canada.

Aussie and Canada went to the buffet while the other four India, Sweden, Pakistan and China stayed at the dancefloor. "Oh my god South look they're serving Flavored Soy Milk! Oh you have to try it!" Japan dragged S.Korea to the buffet too.

~back at the apartment~

"Dad I your doing this to help us leave but.. is this the only way..? And how will I tell mom that you-"New Zealand ask Britain. "Zee, I hate leaving too but whoever is doing this probably just needs one of us countries and is killing other countries that are caught anyways. If I gave myself in and give them fake information about where you all are you guys will have time to leave to a more isolated place" Britain said while nervously rubbing his elbows. Britain had a plan that he would gave himself in to the guard forces and tell them fake information about where the others are hiding, as the GF(short form for guard forces) send their forces to the location the others will have time to escape the island and go to a more safer place where they wouldn't be found. ".. I'll miss you dad, I'm sure everyone will no matter the history you have with them.." New Zealand held back her tears and hugged Britain. "At least my family and the others can leave unharmed and things will go easier for you guys, hopefully..." Britain knew even if he did tell the guard forces fake information and they believe it he would still be killed but it was a risk worth taking.

~with S.Korea and Japan~

"I told you that if we came here it would help everyone and reduce the stress everyone had!" Japan said while drinking the 3rd glass of Flavored Soy Milk. "I guess you were right, and hey this tastes amazing!" South was having his 2nd glass of Flavored Soy Milk. "Guys! The ships have set sail! and they have every single type of food here including some parathas!" Bangla came from the other side of the buffet. "I know right!" Japan replied with excitement. "Oooo~ I'm making the last ship, Rusame also dance!~" Bangla said before leaving to look for America and Russia.

<with Russia and America>

"I didn't know you were so good at gambling" America stand while standing next to Russia. "It's all about the odds, I most bet against the person who's rolling the dice" Russia said while looking back at America. "So you make a bet for them to lose?" America questioned. "Exactly, it's a tactic I use" Russia replied. "Do other players like it tho?" America was wanting to know how Russia was so good at gambling. "Nah, they never do but playing the game this way is the best strategy" Russia looked back at the table. "America! I heard they were playing some hollywood songs next which might also be from your favorite hollywood movies!" Bangladesh rushed towards the two and told America. America looked surprised and happy at the same time. "Wait really?! Dude Rus you have to come!" America grabbed Russia and took him to the dancefloor. "Huh- but I'm winning-" Russia wasn't able to complete his sentence."Too late!" America said while dragging Russia with him (man lot of dragging XD).

~{time skip after the dance cause I'm lazy}~

The countries were tired and left the building. "Hey guys yall almost forgot about us!" Aussie and Canada came rushing out the building. "You two were too distracted with food and never noticed that everyone was leaving ya know" India said. "I think we should argue about nearly forgetting about Nada and Aussie in the morning AND inside the apartment please" Japan said while holding S.Korea who had fallen asleep from having a bit too much food.

The countries had a small laugh and walked back to the apartment. The night was fun and stress relieving, there had been so much tension and the nightout really helped everyine relax and have some fun in the current situation.

Britain walked in front of the guard force's headquarters. Britain sighed and took out a picture of his family, it was a very recent family photo taken a few weeks before the humans turned against the countries. Even Britain's step children were in the photo. Everyone looked so happy before everything went down. Britain wanted his family to be in a much safer place and be happy in that place. He was risking his entire life but he didn't care and only wanted his family to be happy. A tear fell from Britain's face as he put the picture back in his pocket and walked into the building.

(This was wholesome with a few sad moments and I've planned so much more for this au oof)
