New Zealand and Canada have a longstanding relationship that has been fostered by both countries' shared history and culture, by their membership in the Commonwealth of Nations and links between residents of both countries.

Kiwi9000: Oh good, you're online. What time is it over there, anyway?

Mapleman: Midnight. What's up?

Kiwi9000: Aus cheated a cricket!! Then the stroppy bastard has the nerve to get in my face when I call him out on it, but underarm bowling is cheating!!

Mapleman: Your brother cheated 'a' cricket? Out of what?

Kiwi9000: :P

Kiwi9000: You know that was a typo.

Mapleman: I'll take your word for it.

Kiwi9000: The point is that Aus is a CHEATING CHEATER WHO CHEATS!

Mapelman: Eh. At least he cheats at the sports you actually like to play?

Kiwi9000: I don't know what Aus is playing but it isn't cricket. It's more like 'let's see how many times I can get away with 'accidentally' hitting New Zealand with my bat'.

Mapleman: O_o Is that kind of like 'break Canada's bones with the baseball?'

Kiwi9000: …Srsly, Aus and US have anger management issues.

Mapleman: Lol. Not enough hugs when they were small.

Kiwi9000: Hey, now, we're in that same boat! What's our excuse for not being insane?

Mapleman: Crazy siblings to put it into perspective?

Kiwi9000: That must be it.

His fingers paused over the keyboard, then, as he heard a familiar pounding at his door.

"C'mon, mate, let me in! You can't keep sulking just because you lost," he heard his brother call through the wood, and with something of an annoyed growl clenched his hands for a moment.

Kiwi9000: Gtg, Aus needs his nose broken.

Mapleman: You're a peace-keeping nation! Peace-keeping!

Kiwi9000: That's why it's not his arm.

On that note he closed the chat window, pushed himself away from the desk, and opened up his door just as Australia was about to knock on it again. One sun-tanned hand paused mid-air for a moment before lowering rather slowly. His brother grinned at him.

"Finally," he said, glancing into the room for a moment at the still-glowing computer screen. "What were you doing, downloading porn?"

New Zealand grinned. "Nah," he replied. "I was just talking to the only other sane man in the universe. So. How about a rematch?"

Australia's expression brightened considerably.

"Cricket?" he asked.

New Zealand's grin turned a little feral. "I was thinking more along the lines of rugby," he said instead, and for a moment Australia's facial expression seemed to freeze in place, before New Zealand slung an arm over his shoulders and started dragging him back outside.

"…You're going to break my nose again, aren't you?"
