Dear Artie,

It's been a long time since I've heard from you! I hope you're doing good, If not, let me know!

So how is life? Mine's dull and boring as usual. And My boss is just making messes everywhere really… *sigh*. Denmark came to visit recently, and that was fun, and I see Canada every once in a while, but other than that, I've been pretty lonely.

How's old France treating ya? Nothing's changed I'm guessing, but it's worth asking. Just thought I'd say hi and let ya know the hero's doing okay!

Alfred F. Jones

Dear Alfred,

You know very well that my name is "Arthur" not "Artie".

I am doing well, and yes. I suppose it has been a while. It's quite calm here, not too much going on really. I have seen that you've been busy on your end, so I'm relieved glad to hear that you are doing well. And tell Denmark that I said hello next time you see him.

France is a Fop, as usual. So yes, I suppose you could say nothing has changed. Hello back and shut up brat.

Arthur Kirkland

Dear Artie,

Aw! Come on! Artie's a good name for you! It's funny, I got your letter just as Denmark came back for a meeting! How funny is that? He says Hi back. I didn't know you two were friends! We should all get together some time.

It's good to know how much you care. JHope nothing too crazy starts up over there. France has been kind of sour towards me lately, I don't know really why. But whatever. Canada is coming in about ten minutes, so I gotta go!

Alfred F. Jones

Dear Alfred,

Did you really just put a smiley face in a letter? Good grief. And stop calling me that.

Denmark and I aren't "friends" per se… we're more like friendly rivals. The whole Pirate versus Vikings thing is important after all. Pirates win, by the way.

How long will Canada be staying with you? Tell him I said Hello as well, and that he needs to stay warm in this horrible winter! It was freezing when I last saw!

Arthur Kirkland

Dear Artie,

Canada says hello and "don't worry, it's only negative 34 degrees Celsius. It's not bad"

Really, you're such a dad.

He's staying with me for about four weeks. Hey! You should come and visit! Get away from France and Vikings and Europe for a while!

Two tall blonds stood at the gate of a flight from london in New York. A sign that read "Artie! 7 O" Was held between them as they searched through the crowd of unloading passengers. But they knew they found him when-

"That's not my name!"
