Nine days into the Olympics, and spirts were as high as ever. All of the countries were supporting their teams, and all of them were feeling as proud as ever. However, after the Men's 4x100 medley relay, America seemed a little bit down, drawing the attention of England.

"America, why are you looking like you lost your way?" England asked America as they walked out of the swimming arena.

"Dude, Michael Phelps just won his very last ever medal. I mean, this is his last Olympics." America said sadly. "I'm going to miss that guy. I mean, he's been our best swimmer for the last five Olympics."

"Ah, cheer up lad. It's not the end of the world." England said with a shrug. "It just means that there will be more people to impress us in the future."

"Yeah, I know, but man, it's weird to think that some of the people he was racing against watched him swim on the t.v when they were kids." America said with a small smile.

"Yes, it is amazing." England said with a nod.

"I wonder if the Americans are going to do as well without him on the team." America pondered out loud.

"Well, maybe some of the other countries can finally have a chance to win some medals then." England said with a grin.

"Fat chance." America snorted as he walked towards the back of the building.

"America, I believe the parking lot is the other way." England said in confusion as he followed America.

"Yeah, but I have an old friend to meet up with." America said with a wink. "Sorry England, but only I'm allowed to go back here. After all, Michael doesn't like to have to many people visiting him at once." And with that, America raced off and left a very flabbergasted England in his wake.

"You mean to tell me that git knew Michael Phelps and never told me?" England muttered angrily as he walked back to the car.

A/N: As Michael Phelps won his last medal, Americans all over grew sad at the fact that he was retiring. I remember watching him when I was a little kid, and it makes me feel sad that he is finally leaving once and for all. He was really the only reason I watched the swimming. Oh well, maybe I can find another swimmer to admire. (Fun fact, Michael Phelps has won more Olympic medals than any other person in the world. USA! USA!) yeah, why do I get the feeling like this is not one of my better chapters.
