America stumbled over England hiding behind a large rock in the garden. "What the hell dude? Why're you hiding-mmph!" England caught him and pulled him down desperately, hand over his mouth. "Shhhhh!" He hissed, then froze. Obediently, America also froze as he recognized the footsteps. crunch. The footsteps stopped on the gravel nearby. America held his breath, eyes wide. All of a sudden there was a loud bang and a nearby Bush was incinerated in a cloud of smoke. "England?" Canada asked softly, walking over to the incinerated bush, and poking the ashes around with a stick, while balancing the bazooka on his other shoulder. "Come out, come out, wherever you are~" he called sweetly. "Eh? Guess he's not here." He murmured and turned around. America stayed frozen until he no longer could hear the footsteps. England removed his trembling hand from America's mouth. "Are you crazy?" America burst out in a angry whisper. "Why would you agree to play hide and seek with Canada of all people?" "It couldn't be helped!" Britain snapped at him, also in a whisper "he kept talking about how I never payed attention to him as a child, So I offered to play a game with him! I didn't know he gets like this!" America swore under his breath. "I'm gonna text Russia, he's the only one who can stop Canada when he's like this!" He slipped out his phone and typed a quick message to Russia. "hide and seek. Canada. HELP." He sighed with relief when he sent it. "Now all we need to do is survive until Russia arrives!" America said out loud with a sigh. Then he saw England's face, pale and terrified. crunch. America felt as though his heart stopped as he looked up. "Eh?" Canada loomed over them. "Found you~" he readied his gun. "RUN!" America grabbed England's hand and bolted. The peaceful scenery behind them turned to ashes.
Canada finally cornered them at the brick wall at the back of England's garden. "Shit!" America cursed. "We're stuck!"
Canada stood, blocking the opening, with his bazooka smoking and aimed at them. "It's hide and seek," he laughed,a little too heartily "not tag!" He readied the gun. "found you." Suddenly strong armed came up from behind Canada and held him back. The bazooka fell to the group with a thump. "You are lucky Russia is fast, da?" Russia said in a strained voice. "If I was a moment later you would be dead!"
Canada struggled fruitlessly for a bit and then went limp. "Have you calmed down?" Russia asked, smiling threateningly. "Ah sorry." Canada said in his usual meek tone. "Guess I went a bit over the top,eh?" He chuckled nervously and England collapsed with relief. "Why the bloody hell is he so violent at hide and seek?" America guiltily hid his face. England noticed immediately. "Hey, wait a moment! I know that look! What the hell did you do, you bastard!" He began shaking America by the collar. "Its your fault for not supervising us when we played together as kids!" he argued. "If you had hung around more this wouldn't have happened!" America was defiant. "America," England said shortly. "Tell me exactly what you did." America gulped. "Well, you see..."
