Canada Day
Hello Canada! Rise and Shine!
Guess what? Today's one heck of a special day!
Hmm? What day you ask?
Why, none other than the blissful July 1st!
Canada Day!
One of the days where you stand out more than your brother
One of the days where you are remembered
Aren't you glad?
So now,
Let's try our hardest
And bake lots of pancakes!
Pour maple syrup too!
Everything is good with maple syrup!
And then how about some hot chocolate?
Extra milk, please!
Then, we can hike up a mountain
Together with your brother
And good friend Kumajiro
'Who are you?'
Hey now, don't look so depressed…
'Ah, well, Matthew needs a break anyway,'
See? Nothing to be depressed about.
Don't cry.
Today is your special day, remember?
You're remembered.
Now how about that hike, hmm?
Finally!
We're at the top!
Wow, we can see Hudson Bay from here!
It still seems like something always floats there…
Oh hey,
The sun's setting.
'Well Mattie, how about that for an amazing birthday?'
Nice and quiet, wasn't it?
Though, it would have been much nicer with England and France around…
The sun just set.
And it will all go back to normal…
Not true!
We just need to have faith in ourselves!
'I promise I won't get into too much fights Mattie,
Don't think I don't know what happens to you if I do.'
See?
Even Alfred agrees!
Let's head back home for today.
Huh? How come it's noisy in your house?
'SURPRISE!'
Balloons, presents, and is that a pancake tower?
Well, it looks like things weren't going to end up so bleak after all.
There's France,
And England,
Cuba,
Was that Russia?
China, Japan, Korea,
There's Spain and the Italy brothers!
And Germany and Prussia too!
Even Aussie and New Zealand
And Uncle Scotland
Everyone's here!
Why are you crying Matthew?
Please don't cry,
'Matthew, we did this for your sake.'
'Mon petite Mattheiu, don't cry, Papa's here,'
'It's unawesome if you cry Birdie!'
'If it's America, I will hit him for you da?'
'I swear it wasn't me! Don't hit me with your pipe dude!'
CLANG
Oh dear, we might need a medic.
Canada?
Are you alright?
Canada shook his head, and gave a watery smile.
"No, I'm just really happy."
And the rest of the night was spent with just joy and celebration,
The countries gathered in Canada
Enjoying the bonds they shared with him.
Canada slept soundly that night
Without tears
And with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to next year!"
Author's Note: Wow that was short…
As you may have noticed, for the past three weeks, I've been really freaking inactive. School just started, and I'm getting fed up with work and being one of the leading students in my class. I'm supposed to be on hiatus, but for Canada's sake I'll post this.
Tell me if it was too bleak please…
