332 words, wanted to do something a bit more in depth then just 100 words. I hope I kept everyone in character, enjoy =)
America was searching everywhere inside, high and low, left and right; in the closet and under the stairs, and he even dared to brave the basement! Still, the young child couldn't seem to find what he was looking for. America went outside, after thoroughly searching the house, and started to search among the flowers and then the bushes. England, who was headed towards the house, paused when he saw America diving in and out of the bushes. The older nation stood there holding a small bunch of fresh cut flowers (the centerpiece for the table that night) and just watched, wondering what had gotten into America. It seemed as though he were searching for something. So England approached the boy and crouched down.
"What are you looking for?" he asked and America pulled his head out of the bush.
"Canada." He stated. "We're playing hide and seek. I'm seeking but I can't find him! I've looked everywhere!" America whined.
England smiled and patted him on the head "Keep searching lad, I'm sure you'll find him soon." England turned and walked off with a chuckle.
America took a moment to look around the garden, trying to see if he'd missed any obvious hiding spots. Then with a sigh he dived into the bush again. Canada stood near the very bush that America was searching, watching as England walked off. The young nation smiled happily and giggled as he turned to look at his brother. He was standing not three feet away and still America hadn't seen him. Another giggle escaped him. America jerked his head out of the bush at the sound and looked around. "I heard you Canada! I'm gonna get you!" and he took off running past Canada to the tree's right behind him. Canada watched him leave with amusement.
A few minutes later Canada happily announced, "I'm still the hide and seek champ!" When he heard America shouting, "Olly olly oxen free!" Signaling that he was giving up the search.
I'm a little annoyed with myself. I like this idea but the story seems a bit chopy to me... I'll rewrite it sometime later I guess.
