Hoo boy, this is a long one. I cut it off half way through so that The Reader (that's you) wouldn't have to read the same words over and over. I hope you don't mind. The song is "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" from "Annie Get Your Gun". See you at the bottom of the page.
Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better
Takes place before the Allied Powers get in the plane to go to the girl's first world meeting, but after Em is told Nora probably chose not to fight back against her assault.
"No, you can not fly the plane! You have no place behind the wheel of any vehicle!" England said again to Em, who had her arms crossed and was blocking the entrance to the plane.
"Why not? Is it because I'm a girl?"
"It's because of a lot of things besides that—"
"So you admit that's one of the reasons." Em set her hands on her hips.
"Come on, guys," Dakota groaned. "It's freezing out here!" The other Allied Powers murmured in agreement.
"Not until I get to fly the plane!"
"No, I'm flying the plane, and that's that!"
"You just want to think you're so high and mighty with your trained piloting skills. Now listen up, Black Sheep of Europe—"
"Don't call me that!"
"Anything YOU can do, I can do better!" Before the words had finished coming out of her mouth, Dakoto had pulled out her phone and was now playing the music. England scoffed. "I can do anything better than you!" Em continued.
"No, you can't," said England.
"Yes, I can."
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can."
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can, yes, I can!"
England stomped angrily in the snow. "Anything you can be, I can be greater! Sooner or later, I'm greater than you."
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am."
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am."
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am, yes, I am!" England made like he was holding a rifle. "I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge."
"That poor partridge…" Carolyn whispered.
"I can get a sparrow with a bow and arrow."
"Why are there so many dead birds?!" Carolyn cried. France patted her back.
"I can live on bread and cheese." England continued.
"And only on that?"
"Yes."
"So can a rat."
One of England's bushy eyebrows twitched. "Any note you can sing, I can sing higher."
"I can sing any note higher than you!"
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can."
"NO YOU CAAAAAN'T!"
"YES I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
"How did she sing so high?" America wondered.
"She's a girl," England replied. Em stuck out her tongue.
"Anything you can say, I can say softer." Em sang quietly.
"I can say anything softer than you."
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can."
"no, you can't."
"yes, I can."
"YES, I CAN!"
England jumped at the sudden volume before glaring at his singing rival. "I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker."
"I thought he got drunk easily," Dakota said.
"Haha, yeah," America said. "Dude can party."
"I can drink it quicker, and get even sicker," Em shot back.
"I can open any safe."
"Without getting caught?"
"Yes," England put a hand to his chest and smiled.
"That's what I thought… you crook."
England stopped smiling. "Any note you can hold, I can hold longer."
"I can hold any note longer than you!"
"No, you caan't."
"Yes, I caaan."
"No, you caaaan't!"
"Yes, I caaaaan!"
"No, you caaaaaan't!"
"Yes, IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII can." Em put her hands on her knees and panted.
"Yes, you caaaaaaan!" England straightened his tie. "Anything you can sing, I can sing sweeter."
"I can sing anything sweeter than you."
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can."
"No, you can't."
"Yes, I can, yes, I can!"
"Anything you can—"
"STOP!" Adri shouted.
England and Em looked at her. "WHAT?!"
"This song is way, way too long for us to go through, especially during this snow storm! Em did stuff better than England, so she gets to fly the plane. That's the end of that."
"No!" England whined. "I'm more experienced than her, and-!"
"Why don't we put it to a vote?" Carolyn piped up. "All those in favor of letting Em fly the plane, say 'aye'."
"AYE!" Everyone said.
"We have a unanimous decision," she said. "Sorry, England."
"HECK YEAH!" Em pumped a fist and scurried onto the plane.
England grumbled to himself and climbed in after her, followed by everyone else.
And thus, they went to the world meeting, still somehow on time despite the annoyingly long song.
I'd go as far as to say that this is the best song to describe Em and England's relationship. Rivals trying to one-up each other… probably not to the point of being in a kismesissitude (look it up, it's a part of troll romance, which is interesting to learn about), but definitely could end in something dangerous if left unchecked.
Anyway, what did you think? Leave a review, tell me what you thought, and I'll see you later, maybe tomorrow? Who knows. Until then!
