"Arthur! You have a letter~!"

"Ah, thank you Uni~.. I'll give you a treat for bringing this to me later, okay?"

England chuckled, petting his unicorn before returning to the task at hand. Opening the letter carefully, he saw that it was rather long - much to his delight. Sipping a cup of tea and eating one of his hand-made scones, he read through it slowly, making sure to savor every word.

Dear England,

First of all, I love your literature. Your TV shows are kind of ridiculously long (I'm American; we don't have that much time on our hands, dude!), but what the hey- keep 'em coming. So, what is it with your brothers? If they're really as bad as you say they are, you have my sympathy. I bet everything's kind of weird for you right now with Scotland's talk of independence...are you worried at all? I'd give you a hug if it would help. -

-"It"

The nation smiled sadly, regarding the talk about his brother's. He certainly didn't like to talk about it much, but if he had to then he had to. He had recently bought lovely stationary just for these occasions, so he took one out of its packaging, opening it up and getting his expensive pen.

Dear It (Is that really your name?),

Why thank you. I do believe we are talented in the field of literature and writing in general. And yes, it's quite true our television shows are longer then American programs. But, I think that's what makes them better, honestly. Sorry, but you know it's true. I think one of my favorites is Sherlock. Everyone seems to agree.

Oh, my brothers..? Yes, we don't get along very well. I tend to not communicate with them due to this reason. They were rarely nice to me; if at all. I don't remember any occasion where they actually said something kind to me. Saddening, to say the least. Ah well. You get used to it I suppose. It is odd seeing him drift away, but every country gains its independence eventually. I mean, look at how America-... Ah, but that's off topic, isn't it? My apologies.

That aside, a hug would be lovely. Thank you. Hopefully everything will turn out alright, as I'm sure it will.

Best wishes,

England

"Oh my goodness! A letter to me?" Canada said quietly, clutching the letter to his heart as he tried to contain his excitement. "Alfie! I got a letter!"

"Awesome dude~!"

"I can't wait to read it!" He cheered, sitting on his favorite chair and undoing the envelope to reveal a large paragraph - just for him. His face lit up as he read every single word over and over again.

Dear Canada,

Sir...Take back Justin Beiber immediately. I'm a hard rock fan, and we have enough pop drivel ruining the music industry without that piece of scum. On the flip-side, though, thank you for Thousand Foot Krutch; without them, I would have gone crazy already. Besides that, your, ah, your bacon is ham, buddy. That needs to come with a disclaimer, methinks, because if I wanted ham, I'd have asked for *ham*. Ah, well- they're equally good drowned in syrup, so no harm done! You're actually one of my favorites; don't get me wrong. Just do me a favor and stand up for yourself once in a while! If England or Cuba calls you America, you'd better #$% ing tell them that you're CANADA, and for cripes' sake, don't be so polite about it! If they're the ones who make the mistake, they're the ones who are gonna pay for it, got it? M'kay, love ya, bro!

-"It"

By the time he finished reading it at least twice, he was smiling widely, and he dove for a pen and paper to write his response. He thought about every word carefully before he wrote it down, as if it was the most important letter in the world. Which, to him, it was.

Dear "It",

Aha, I'd rather not take him back... I never liked him to begin with. Maybe we could send him to Antarctica? I'll start planning. And, you're welcome! I'm glad you enjoy them too!

Yes, I've been told that a lot. I guess everyone just has different words for it. I mean, if you think about it, bacon and ham both come from pigs so it's kind of the same thing... Kind of. Regardless, it's pretty good! You put syrup on them too? Oh, so I'm not the only one! That makes me happy!

Really? I'm one of your favorites? How kind of you to say... But yes, I wish I could stand up for myself as well. Once I did yell at America and he ran away crying. I felt badly but... He deserved it. I'll try my best, and thanks for your nice words.

Love you too!

Sincerely,

Canada

*panics* Geez~! So many reviews! Which is awesome but I'm trying to get to them as fast as I can and it's really difficult! Don't hate me if your's takes a while!
