The war did not go well.

America had not expected the war to come across the ocean- either of them -to his land, and thus, he had not made the correct preparations.

Nor had he expected an attack from the east.

That would be his undoing, if anything would be.

Enemy forces were already fighting as far east as the California-Nevada border.

And that was with help from Russia and Japan.

Of course, he also had intell that Denmark was sailing down the East Coast. America had no idea where he was going- New York? -but wherever he ended up, it would be disastrous for America. After all, one Denmark was a Viking horde unto himself. By all accounts, he had an armada.

And the capital of Norway- Oslo, wasn't it? - had shown no signs of capitulating. He wondered if another pass over the city with the bombers would work.

Probably not. Even after the city had been razed to its foundations. He could still remember the first time he met Norway.

It was during WWII, 1943 to be exact, and he and England had been smuggled into Bergen. At the time, Norway had been running resistance efforts from his small apartment there.

The three of them planned bombing of a German heavy water plant.

The whole time, Norway had not smiled. Not once. Instead, his eyes burned with some emotion- probably hate -and his mouth had been set in a hard line. Though he had been under Nazi control for three years, his back was straight and he held his head high.

America remembered thinking that whoever tried to break this man would be shattered first.

Not a pleasant thought at the moment.

He shook his head. He had work to do, and with Canada gone, there was no one left to help him. He had no time for daydreaming.


A/N: Quick Historical Background Time (because not many people besides people who live in Norway and I know this (And I only know this because my ginormous 33-page English project was on this.))!:

During WWII, Norway was occupied by Nazis. The Nazis decided to build a heavy water plant so they could make a nuclear bomb. Obviously, no one wanted this to happen (except the Nazis, of course). So the Norwegians, with the help of the British, blew the plant up. However, this did not deter the Nazis. So, the Americans had to bomb it. (This is the event America is referring to above; he is probably not aware of the first bombing.) Finally, the Nazis were like, "Hey, let's take the remainder of this valuable heavy water somewhere those pesky Norwegian rebels can't get it!" So they tried moving it to Germany. However, the route they intended to take involved ferries, so when the heavy water was loaded onto a ferry, the Norwegians blew that up. And that is why Germany did not have the Atom Bomb during WWII.

(This is far more entertaining when you think of it in terms of Hetalia, FYI.)
