Little story about America's thoughts after the Revolution and how he feels about England. This could be considered USUK. Also, the song that inspired this text is "Rewrite The Stars" from the Greatest Showman. Never saw the movie, I just stumbled on the song on YouTube and I love it.

Rewriting The Stars

By: Strange and Curious

I defeated Arthur yesterday. My body has this lightness that never I felt before. Is this how it feels to be a country? It's a peaceful night and my people are finally sleeping in their own home with their family. Tomorrow, we're going to start building the greatest nation history has ever seen! I'm really happy of my freedom. But still….

I miss Arthur. It broke my heart when I saw him falling to his knees with tears streaming from his emerald eyes. I don't hate Arthur, just England. It was not Arthur who forced my people to poverty. But, I also know that even Arthur won't forgive me so easily. Hey, A shooting star! I wish that Arthur would forgive me and be my friend again.

I remember the stories Artie would tell me before bed. He liked his magic and stuff. Some of those stories were about the stars. How the star could determine the life of someone. Like if a greater being could reach out to the sky and place the star and everyone's live wherever it pleases him.

I would do anything to be able to see Arthur smile again. I miss the day where we would just run through the wheat fields and his weird teatime ritual every afternoon. I was proud of myself when he would scold me whenever I ate a cookie before supper of when I climbed on the highest bookshelf because it was the only way to get him out of his office. I even miss his cooking. As horrible as it may be, me eating that crap made Artie the happiest nation alive. We can't just say it's over and never talk again. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

So this is what I'm going to do. One day I'm going to reach for those stars up in the night sky. I'm going to catch them and put them back the way I want them to be. They'll be in the order where Arthur would forgive me and we would spend our days just having fun just like we used to.

It's just a matter of time, I swear. One day the stars will be mine and everything will be possible. I'm free now, shouldn't I be free to choose my future?
