Work Text:
A week passed after the incident. From Uzi's office, the playful laugh of N and Uzi was coming.
"Stop, please!" Uzi demanded from N through a laugh, playfully hitting his hand. Her visor was showing blush, and she didn't mind that.
N laughed. "Nah, my girl!" He continued tickling Uzi, which was making her laugh that much. But the knock on the door made N stop, while Uzi tried to stop laughing during some moments.
"Good afternoon, N and Uzi Doorman," the guard opened the door and greeted. "Today, you have a meeting with commissars, as a reminder."
"Okay, thank you...," Uzi friendly said through the will to burst into laughter again. The guard saluted and left the office, and after that, Uzi turned to N. "Do you remember about the meeting?"
"Not really," N responded, feeling the awkwardness of that. "Maybe, let's go?"
"Of course, N!" Uzi responded. She felt as if N truly cared about her, and felt bad because of that incident, where she accidentally injured him, but it seems like he doesn't even remember or think about it.
Uzi got up and with N left her office, heading towards the commissars' one. After Uzi opened the door into it and stepped in, everyone greeted her and N, what they two did to them as well.
"Now, are you ready to surrender?" J said with a huge smirk on her face.
"J, stop it already!" V exclaimed. "You're annoying!"
"Oh yeah, I am so evil and annoying, and you're a victim of my crimes," J started to make a sarcastic voice.
"Will you shut up already?!" Uzi annoyingly asked J. It made her stop, but angered. "We have met here to talk more about the current solutions to our problems in the economic sphere. After reading the entire folder given to me by Doll, thanks to her, now I know more about the struggle we have. But here is the question: how should we resolve that problem?"
"Well, we can cut the arms race," Doll immediately offered. "It takes too much from us, giving nothing in return. Also, since the possibility of the war is minor, especially with the Chornobyl nuclear power plant explosion, we should also cut military spending."
"It would hurt our fighting abilities!" N exclaimed. "If we have a lower salary for soldiers, then they wouldn't fight, as there would be no point in life in the army."
"Wait, Chornobyl?" Uzi asked again in disbelief and worry. "That one of the biggest in Europe?"
"Unfortunately, yes, to both of you," Doll sighed. "But we need to turn the tide of the economy, N. We need that sacrifice! And Uzi, although this information hasn't been published yet, we know that it happened, and now Europe is threatened by the nuclear waste coming from there."
"Poor people!" Uzi felt pity for them. "They just wanted to live their lives, and now this! What a shame!"
"Get over it...," J rolled eyes.
"Shut up, you b&&ch!" V hit the table and shouted at J as she couldn't hold that anymore. J was shocked, but kept silent.
"No profanity, please," Doll kindly asked.
"Sorry...," V felt somewhat guilty for a moment.
Khan, the commissar of Economy and Industry, finally stood up with a paper in his hands.
"With that offer, I recommend Uzi Doorman to increase support of small and medium businesses, and also encourage the work of corporations in our country," he started reading. "Thank you for your attention and I hope you will accept my offer as well," with last words spoken, Khan sat down.
Uzi thought for some time.
"Although these are small steps, they will send us to the skies," she reacted. "I will accept the idea of supporting small and medium businesses, approve the spending on corporations' and big companies' work in our nation. Also, I will accept the offer of Doll to cut military spending and halt arms race with the USSR and PRC. But, how about industry, police, trading?"
"Police now??" J was surprised that much. "Our crime rate because of police is the lowest in the world, and you want to do that?!"
"We need some sacrifices," Uzi explained. "Besides, the army is also responsible for the low crime rate, so we are still going to have the lowest in the world."
After those words, J just nodded and kept silent with the bitter face. The printer started working, printing the papers with all the offers everyone gave. Uzi stood up and took them and gave everyone those papers, including to herself.
"Now, everyone, please choose: accept or reject the offered solution to the problems. If the most accept it, we can proceed with recovering our cation," she told everyone.
With those words, every commissar voted for or against a certain offer. After that, everyone gave the paper back to Uzi.
"Thank you for your attention," she said to N, J, V, Doll and Khan. "I will check your reactions and will change what was agreed upon. Now, the meeting is closed!"
J, V and Khan left the office, while Doll, Uzi and N stayed.
"I hope you are better now...," Doll suddenly said. Uzi looked at her with confusion. "I saw how you were feeling... How you were worried that you were betraying the country... Everyone wants changes for the best, I hope you understand the reason behind an ultimatum."
"I understand," Uzi responded calmly. "At first, it was terrible that I got it, but now... Now I am determined to complete it." She smiled. "We've always been like sisters, and you haven't changed. We were like kicking each other's butts to work, and this ultimatum is no change to that. You see what it brought to others."
Doll chuckled. "You're right. I won't disturb you, and would love to see your and N's wedding one day."
Uzi and N blushed. "We don't need any wedding," N said with an awkwardness in his voice and smile. "We are together forever."
"I hope...," Doll responded quietly. "I will go now, so I wish you a nice day!" After that, she stood up and left the office as well, leaving N and Uzi alone.
