********************The next morning…..******************************

"England, are you trying to make breakfast?" America said quizzically, looking over England's shoulder at the black lump in the frying pan.

"W-What do you mean, trying? It's a perfectly good scone!" England tried to hide his disappointment.

"England, any scone of yours could never be "perfectly good"."

"If you don't like it, make your own breakfast!"

"Nah, I'm too lazy. Cook away, chef." America plopped down on the couch in front of the TV and turned it on. The news popped up on the screen.

"-And in today's news, America and UK relations are warming up after the heated debate last night-" Debate, huh? Not the way I would say it, but okay. America thought.

England paused after hearing the news anchor. "Really?"

America shifted on the couch. "Apparently."

"Dear God, being a country and having a lover is hard to keep secret. Can't even sleep over without it being on the telly."

"France isn't going to let this go for a while, is he?"

"I was drunk last night. Might just tease me and spare you."

"True. Hey-" America turned up the volume. The cheery voice of the host echoed in the kitchen.

"French-Canadian relations reached an all-time high in the trade deal of last night-" America turned the volume on low again.

They both stared at each other. No way…Poor Canada…This was going to start a world of trouble for him.

"-Surprisingly, China-Japan relationships are strengthening despite old trades, and the results for this quarter are showing it after a great trade deal last night-"

"You're kidding me, right?" England said.

"Well, apparently not. Looks like they finally made up."

"How long's it been, couple thousand years? Was about time, I say."

"Why is the news channel where we get our gossip from anyways?"

"We are countries, after all."

"Let's just hope the next one isn't "Thousands of Americans killed by British food poisoning!"

"You git! My cooking's fine!"

"Fine for propping open doors, if that's what you mean."

"I'll show you!" England quickly rushed back to cooking.

America sighed. Looks like the start of a brand new day.

Author's corner: Ha! How was it? My first uploaded fic, just not the first I've written. Past here I'll probably be sticking to just one or two ships per fic, with more in the background if you squint. Thanks to tsuruui, who roped me into this whole thing. Hope to have another uploaded soon!
