AN: this is something of a b- story to the other independence day tales, though I enjoy writing this one more. originally they were to be one story,but i didn't like how that would involve too much flip flopping. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story and please review.
Germany
It was a nice night. I'd finished my work early so I went to go get myself a beer. To be honest it was nice going to drink without Prussia bugging me.
I walked in and saw someone sitting at the bar head down. I thought he was passed out so I went to go wake him up
"Hey, Wake up" I said
"I am awake assh-, Oh" It was England " s' you."
" What are you doing here?"
" Just havin a drink. "
Something was wrong. He wasn't speaking in his normal controlled manner and he didn't seem drunk.
"Is something wrong England?"
"Naw. S'just…" He sighed "S'just today."
"what about today?"
He sighed. He took a shot and began to speak.
" S'America's Independence day today."
"Why does that bug you?"
"'cause that was the day he din't need me 'nymore."
I was curious now. I didn't mind bar conversations so I talked to him about is.
"Tell me about. But try to talk right. I can barely understand you."
"Okay…"
England
I was with the other nations when they discovered the America's. I wanted land of course, but when I met him I wanted something more.
I wanted to be a big brother. To be honest deep down I wanted to be a dad.
Growing up and living when I did, I spent a lot of my life fighting. I didn't have anyone but my aids and my kings. They all died eventually so I could never form any real friendship with them. Having someone to care for made me happy.
I was overjoyed when he went with me. I vowed to protect him. We were so close. Every time I had to leave him I cried on the voyage home. He never knew that and god I hope the smug bastard never does.
But France wanted America. And back then, France was strong enough to take what he wanted. I rushed to help America and he joined to help me.
I was overjoyed that he would openly fight against France in my name.
But I was worried. He was growing up. What if he didn't need me anymore? What if he didn't see me as his superior?
I started taking more money from America after the war. I knew it was to help rebuild after the war. I insisted that's all it was. That was it. Nothing else.
The people didn't like that and started to fight my soldiers. America didn't interfere directly, but I didn't take chances.
I went over to America…
