I've decided to put all of my random one-shots in one story because I like it better that way, starting with this one. Sorry to everyone who faved this and isn't in to that.

So, this is an anything goes type of place, since my imagination is all over the place, expect everything and anything. That includes angst, fluff, crack, yaoi, yuri, whatever. If it's not your cup of tea, then you can just skip that one.

Enjoy.

"Haha!" America exclaimed as he held the pen above his head in an overly-dramatic fashion. "Behold my brilliance!"

"Congratulations," England said sarcastically, "you've invented the pen. Because those haven't been around since, you know, the beginning of time."

"Ah England," the blonde nation sighed, "I remember how I too was just as young and naïve as you are."

"I'm the one who bloody raised you, you twit!"

"I don't see what all the excitement is about. Must be a western thing, aru." China muttered.

"Au contraire, I'm from Europe and I still never know what's going on in his head." France said. "Must be a North America thing."

"I'm from North America and I still don't get him." Canada put in. Nobody heard him though, so they agreed it was a North America thing.

"So what's so bloody special about this pen anyway?"

"Glad you asked." America held the pen for all to see. "This pen is superior to all other pens! Using the greatest minds and engineering skills only America can offer, I have managed to develop a pen that can write in space!"

The other nations blinked in unison. "Say what now?"

"Yes that's right, this pen can write in zero gravity conditions! Not only that, but it can write upside down, left side right, underwater, in temperatures up to three hundred degrees below zero, and on any surface you can imagine!"

"Why would you want to write underwater, aru?" China asked. "Unless you've also developed water-proof paper, your efforts would be in vain."

"You're missing the point." America waved his concerns off. "The fact is not whether it is practical to actually write under water, but rather that this pen is capable of doing so!"

"What was the purpose of creating this magic pen of yours, mon ami?" France asked. "It has a certain charm to it, I suppose, but really, is it necessary?"

"Of course! With this I can write in space! Do you not see the endless possibilities! Now my astronauts can take notes about what's going on up there. This little pen of mine will put me eons ahead in the space race!"

"Is that so?" Russia commented.

"As a matter of fact, it is." America hugged the pen close to his chest. "And you can't have my miracle pen."

"That's quite alright. Your pen is cool and all, but we Russians have already have a device that allows us to write in space. We've been using it for years, in fact."

"Really?" America backed down a bit, trying not to let his irritation that his rival had stolen his idea before he even thought of it show. "What is it then? Can you show us?"

"Um, I don't quite have one on me right now." the Russian admitted, "We call it a Карандаш, though I suppose you would just refer to it as a pencil."

"Today, I read that when NASA first started sending astronauts in space they discovered that ball point pens didn't work in zero gravity. They spent a decade and 12 billion dollars to develop a pen that would write in zero gravity, upside down, under water, on any surface and tempatures that reached 300 degrees below zero. The Russians used a pencil. MLIA"

True story.

We still love you and your crazy pen, America!
