America was pacing the room of his small apartment. His boss told him to improve all his foreign relations in a year… But how? It was going to be so stressful… Russia was probably going to murder him for just setting one foot in his country. He still had that debt to China and Japan had been shutting himself in his room. France… He shivered. He didn't even want to think about him… Germany would be hard to get along with. Italy was unpredictable, but wouldn't hurt him. England…
America's cheeks got slightly pink from thinking of England. If only England liked him like that… Then they both could go around the world together. But England would hate to be dragged with him.
Then the idea came. It seemed perfect… Flawless. But how would he carry it out? America logged into his computer and searched it… In a few days, he would carry it out. What a great plan! PRAISE THE HERO!
England sipped his tea. Another hard day… The Parliament was so demanding these days. They acted like they owned the place! He was the United Kingdom of Great Britain, for Christ's sake! One day he would tell them off. One day… He was startled from his thoughts when his phone started playing 'God Save the Queen'. He sighed and picked it up.
"Hello?" England said.
"Hey England? Can I come over in a few days?" America asked. This caught England off guard. America would usually just barge in with no warning.
"Okay, in three days. And thank you. For once I can prepare for your arrival!" England said.
"Bye England!" America said cheerfully. Well, that was strange. Not only did America ask to come over, but he didn't call him one of those annoying nicknames. Was he okay? Not that England was worried! It just wasn't normal, is all… What exactly was America planning?
America had just finished calling England. He had exactly three days to master it. He didn't think Canada would mind if he practiced with him. But first… He started reading. Subconscious, blah blah blah, harmless, blah blah blah… There it was. He read all through it and smiled. He went as fast as he could to a little antique store at the corner of Mermaid Avenue.
He looked everywhere in the store. There were things from every country's house for sale. Little porcelain dolls, rusty armor, you name it. He went through it all. Then, in the corner, behind some old jewelry and vases, he saw them. An entire box of shiny crystals of every color, all completely and utterly real. They were attached to silver chains, and glinted in the dim light. He took the box and went to the counter.
"I'll take all of them." America said. The little old woman behind the counter smiled kindly.
"Dearie, just take them. I already have all the money I could ever want." She said with a slight British accent. America beamed.
"Thanks!" He said, then went out of the store. He walked back to his apartment and took out the ruby pendulum. Then, he set off to Canada's house.
Canada pet Mr. Kumajirou absentmindedly. He couldn't sleep last night and kept nodding off. He was starting to nod off again as the doorbell rang. He jolted up and walked to the door. America was standing there and grinning.
"Hey bro! I came to ask something." America said. Canada let him in and they both went to the couch. "Okay, so in three days I'm going to England…" Canada tried to focus on his words… He really did, but he was just so tired. He started to nod off again. This didn't go unnoticed by America. "Bro… Wake up." Canada stirred and looked sleepily at America. "Bro, I can help you with you're sleep trouble."
"You can? Then please help…" Canada said. America nodded and brought out the ruby pendulum. He started to swing it evenly, making it glint and sparkle.
"Then just focus on this and relax…" Since when had America been able to have a soothing voice? Canada did as he was told, his eyes sluggishly following the pendulum.
That's pretty… Back and forth. Hmmm… So tired right now… Back and forth. Canada felt the urge to ask how long this was going to be, but he didn't feel like it. He didn't even feel like looking away.
"Relax…" America's voice echoed in his mind. Canada didn't really understand what he said at first. "You find you're eyelids are getting heavier…" Canada liked how America's voice sounded. It was soothing. His eyes were about to close, but he fought to keep looking at that pretty red thing. "It's okay. You can sleep now…" His mind and body completely shut off. All Canada could do was feel the feeling of weightlessness and heaviness at the same time. He quite liked the feeling. He didn't notice himself tipping over. America caught him.
America was jumping for joy. He actually put Canada in a trance! He laid him down. Now to give him his trigger. "Canada… Can you hear me?" America asked. Canada nodded. "Then, when ever I and only I say 'Rise and Shine', you will wake from this trance refreshed and happy. How do you feel?"
"… Peaceful… Happy… Mmn… Wonderful…" Canada said in a dreamy tone.
"You will return to this peaceful state whenever I say 'Sleepy Time'. Rise and Shine." America said. Canada didn't respond at first, but then stirred. He blinked and looked confused for a second.
"Mmn. That felt… good. I'm awake now!" Canada smiled.
"Sleepy Time." America said. Canada looked confused but then he relaxed. He closed his eyes and his shoulders slumped. America now needed to help the sleep problem. "When you awake from this trance, you will feel really tired. You will go into your room and go into a dreamless sleep that feels a million times better than this trance. Rise and Shine." Canada awoke quicker than last time. He looked very sleepy and his head bobbed.
"America. You can sleep in the guest room. I'm going to sleep." Canada said. He walked to his room and plopped on his bed, where Mr. Kumajirou was waiting. He snuggled up under the covers and fell asleep in five seconds flat. America saw this and smiled fondly.
"Mission one accomplished." America said. He stretched and went to bed, tucking the pendulum under his pillow. He fell asleep after going over his up coming plans. Oh, this was going to be fun!
