1682

"Hey England!" America grinned at his caretaker. "Look! This is my capital, Philadelphia!" He gesutred to the young toddler, maybe three or four years old.

"Hm?" England looked up from his papers to see a small girl with blonde hair and blue eyes shyly hiding America's legs. "Oh, it would be nice for her and London to be friends."

"Yeah! They'll be like cousins!" America cheered.

"Hey London, come in here for a moment." England called. The twelve year old brunette girl strolled in.

"Yes, England?" she asked.

"Katherine, this is your cousin, Philadelphia." Alfred beamed. "Her other name is Amelia!"

London knelt down and smiled at her, excited. She had always wanted someone to play with. This was perfect! "Hi there."

The girl buried her face into Alfred's leg shyly.

"It's okay, Amelia. Go play with Katherine." Alfred cooed. Reluctantly, Philadelphia let go of her 'father' and took London's hand.

The pre-teen happily led the toddler down the hall to her room. She knelt on the ground and showed her her dolls. After hours of playing together, Alfred finally appeared to tell the girls to go to bed.

Amelia pouted and whined, but England finally managed to cart her off to bed.

It was in the middle of the night when a strike of thunder awoke her. Amelia shot up from bed, looking around wildly in terror. A flash of light struck out her window. The capital squeaked in terror and ducked under her covers, terrified.

As she flinched due to another clap of thunder, she scrambled out of bed, clutching her stuffed eagle, and peeking out her door. The hallway was dark and would only be illuminated for a second by the occasional strike of lightning. There was a huge loud booming sound.

Amelia jumped in terror, eyes wide as she clutched her eagle again. Looking around, she found herself unable to recall where Arthur or Alfred's bedrooms were.

Sinking to the ground, Amelia's heart hammered as another bolt of lightning flashed and illuminated the dark hall for a split second. Another clap of thunder scared the living daylights out of her, the loud sound of pouring rain not helping her either.

Her blue eyes began leaking with tears, and she curled into a small ball and pushed her palms over her ears, trying to muffle the loud noises.

"Amelia?" The blonde haired toddler looked up to see a familar pair of hazel eyes, face lit up by a glow of a candle. "Are you okay?"

Amelia gave a jerky nod, before crying out softly at another roar of thunder. She scrambled into London's arms, tears falling out of her eyes once more.

"There there..." She cooed. "It's okay... I'm here. I'll always be here for you, I'll protect you, little cousin. I promise.

Another flash of lightning.

Amelia raised her musket, pointed straight across the field and aimed at her enemy's chest. Her enemy glared at her spitefully, knuckles white from her grip on her own musket.

"We've had enough of this shit, London." Philadelphia spat. "It's time America and I gained our independence."

"England and I will never let that happen." London snapped coldly, musket raised. In a flash, she had run towards her and kicked the musket out of her hands. Philadelphia cried out as her eyes widened, shaking her hand out where London's foot made contact with her skin.

London's musket was pointed straight at her. It would be so easy to pull the trigger right then and there. So easy...

"Why the hell can't I just shoot you?" London growled angrily, dropping the musket with fury. Amelia couldn't tell if the water on her cousin's cheeks were her tears or the rain that was falling. London gave a choked sob. "Why can't I?" She demanded, grief stricken as she fell to her knees.

"You know why." Philadelphia said, voice hard. "What happened to the great capital of the British Empire? You used to be so big." She murmured, looking scornfully at the crumpled mess of a capital at her feet. She could remember when she had to stetch her neck completely back just to look at London in the eye. Now, they were at least at eye level.

"And you used to be so small..."
