The Simple Things That Makes Us Happy
January 12
America was not happy. No! He was far from his usual happy self! He was sad, very, very sad. America was watching all the episodes of Gumby. A box of tissues sat next to him, ready to be used. "America," England's voice called through the door, "You've been watching Gumby for two days straight!" "I'm not coming out!" the American shouted back. How did this happen? Well, it all started a couple days ago when England received a phone call from America.
**FLASHBACK** "Hello?" England said into the phone. He could hear that America was sad by the way he tried to hold back his sniffles. "Is something wrong?" England asked. It was a few seconds before America replied in a serious tone, "Gumby's dead" **END OF FLASHBACK**
"America, for the last time, Gumby is NOT dead! Art Clokey died. (1.)" England shouted through the door. "Why does one of the coolest minds of all time have to die?" America cried, "He was a hero!" America could hear England sigh from the other side of the door. "I like Gumby and I don't think Art wants you crying this much over his death. I think he wants you to remember all the good times when he was alive and to keep his dream alive," England said, muttering something about not being good at these kinds of things. America opened the door a little and asked, "Really?" England nodded then nervously said, "Look, Canada is making popcorn right now. We could all watch Gumby together." America nodded with a small smile, "That'd be nice"
America took in the smell of the popcorn before eating handfuls of popcorn at a time. Canada was smart as to have the popcorn evenly split into three bowls. England wasn't going to eat much of his popcorn, saying he'll give what he doesn't finish to America. They all sat in America's room having a Gumby marathon (2.). The three had fun. England yelling at America, America making fun of England, and Canada trying to calm the two down. America smiled, knowing he had the best two brothers anyone can ask for… if they were anything like America.
England had left sometime after the marathon ended (3.)and America and Canada were currently having meatballs for dinner. The two then started a conversation about different movie directors. "You know who else is awesome and cool? Tim Burton!" America shouted. "You mean the guy who did Nightmare Before Christmas?" Canada asked. "Yup! That's the one!" America said before stuffing another meatball in his mouth. "Ah! I almost forgot!" Canada cried as get abruptly got up and ran off to another room, leaving a confused American at the table. It wasn't long before the Canadian came back with something behind his back. "I-I wanted to give you this yesterday… b-but you wouldn't come out of your room so um… Here it is!" Canada nervously said as he held up in front of him a plushie… but not just any plushie, a Gumby plushie. America was surprised but a large smile made its way to his face as he tackled Canada into a bear hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You're the best! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" America cried. Canada smiled, "Anything to make you happy, America"

Author's Comment Thing of Doom: Hurray! the end of January 12.
Yeah, we'll miss you Art Clokey! Rest in Peace, my man! Rest in peace. 1/10/2010
I can't believe it took me eleven months to find out he died. My stepsis was surprised when I told her he died. I feel like watching Gumby now...
Next up on January 13: Greece and a whole Bunch of Cats!
Wait for it!
