Chapter 4

"Alright bro, here's lesson number one on being awesome! I like to call this my crash course on how to be the hero!" America said pulling out a blackboard with the lesson on it. "It's all about me." He pointed at each word as he said it. "Or in this case you, though still mostly me since you know I'm like your teacher, but that's beside the point." He looked at Canada. "Got that?"

Canada sat in a desk with a notebook and pen in hand and appeared to be writing down notes. " I think so…"

"Alright!" America gave a thumbs up. "Then repeat what I say. It's all about me!"

Canada smiled slightly feeling somewhat confident. "It's all about…" He paused deflating. "You." He finished with a sigh glancing down at his notebook which read 'I cant do this'.

"No, no!" America snatched the notebook and threw it out of sight. "You're doing it wrong, not that I disagree with what you just said. Now lets try this again, and this time get it right!" He looked his brother in the eye. "It's all about me." He said intensely.

3 Hours Later.

"It,s all about me!" America shouted.

"It's all about you…" his brother repeated back.

"It's all about me!" America sighed in frustration.

"Face it… I just can't do this."

"Dude you're my bro, I wont let you give up so easily, 'cause if you give up then I louse and I'm the hero, I can't lose!" America slammed his hands down on his brothers' desk and he flinched away but nodded."

"It's all about me!"

"It's all about you…"

"It's all about me!"

"It's all about you…"

"It's all about you!"

"It's all about me…" Canada paused waiting for America to say it again not realizing what he said.

America smiled. "See, I told you, you could do it. You are my brother after all!" He gave a thumbs up and smiled.

"I-I did, didn't I…" Canadas' face stretched into a smile and he laughed quietly.

"Now say it again." America encouraged.

"I-It's all about… me." Canadas' smile grew.

America wrapped an arm around Canada. "That's the first step bro. All you needed was a kick start." He laughed. "I knew it all along."

"If you knew it all along why did you sit there and let me fail for so long?"

"Well," America scratched his head. "I was kind of enjoying hearing that!" He laughed again more boisterously.

"You really are a narcissistic ass…" Canada murmured and sighed looking away.

"What was that?"

"N-nothing!" Canada waved his hands as if in surrender. "I was just saying how much fun this has been." He laughed nervously.

"Dude, I couldn't hear you…"
