It seemed to take England forever to actually get to the store, buy what he needed and return to his home. England let out a soft sigh when he saw his home. He could concentrate on what he needed to do and not what he wanted to do. However, when he came to his house he saw several men unloading boxes. One man with a clipboard was overseeing them.

"Are you Arthur Kirkland?" the man with a clipboard asked when he saw England.

"Yes, I am."

"I have several packages for you. Would you mind signing for them?"

"Of course," England took the clipboard and quickly signed his human name. "Who are they from?"

After having the clipboard returned, the man lifted a few pages and glanced down before speaking, "They are from a Alfred Jones. In the States. The packages had to go through Canada and then Ireland before they got here. Why they took two months to get here. There is a letter too."

"I see," England could feel his heart begin to beat faster. Two months ago was when China had attacked Taiwan and South Korea. It was when the two nations asked for help and only America, with his idiotic obsession with being a hero, went to help them.

England unlocked the front door and let the delivery men bring the boxes inside his home. There were more boxes then he could easily count and they were big. The entire truck was filled with boxes from America. England left the men alone as he went to his office. As soon as the door was closed he slit the envelope open with a pen knife.

England,

I think China and the other members of MEAN (did you notice "Militarily/Economically Aligned Nations" spell that out?) are just a bit angry at me for helping Taiwan and South Korea. Of course nothing bad can happen, cause I'm the hero and all. But just in case I thought I'd send a few things over to your place for safekeeping. Don't worry, one of the boxes has an overall inventory (I forget which). But each box also has a list of what's in it too.

America

P.S. Let's go get hamburgers next time we see each other!

England returned to his living room to find it filled with boxes and the men gone. He opened the closest box to him and found himself face to face with a portrait of George Washington. Another box was filled with Victorian dresses. The inventory said they belonged to Mary Todd Lincoln. The model for the Starship Enterprise was in the next box. A few of the boxes contained items that belonged to Alfred personally, but most were what would be considered priceless heirlooms to the American people. England could not help but shake his head when he realized that America had sent him the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution via UPS.

It was getting late and England probably should have eaten and go to bed, but he could not help himself. He had to open every single box. He had to know everything America had thought so important that he had sent them to him for safekeeping.

Finally, there was only one box left. He ripped it open. A part of him was relieved that he had already gone through all the other boxes and this was the last. That relief was completely gone when he saw what was inside of it. England reached both his hands in and pulled out the first things they came into contact with. His hands were shaking. He had kept himself from falling apart for two months. Now the contents of this one box made him fall to his knees. He held two of the wooden soldiers close to his chest and he began to cry.

The original model used for the Starship Enterprise in the original Star Trek series is in the Air & Space Museum in the Smithsonian. During World War 2, England sent several items to the U.S. for safekeeping encase the Germans invaded. Among those items were the Crown Jewels.
