America! America, I have something for you!

[She switches to video; the feed comes on to show Namine grinning into the communicator]

It took a while to make, but I finally finished it. [From offscreen, she pulls over a little stand and places it on the table. Atop the stand is a flagpole, and finally, an American flag. It looks to be made from

That's...

[ touching... beautiful... way too sweet... too good for America ;w; ]

Did you make it yourself?

[mygodmyright]

Because he's stupid. An overgrown, too big for his britches, stupid, long haired pillock.

Although I suppose I could consider letting him off the hook, just this once.

[dustedsunlight]

It doesn't matter if he's... those things. Though sometimes he can be a little... w-well, he's quite himself, I suppose.

At least on his birthday, right?

[mygodmyright]

I suppose-- only for this year. And only because he hasn't been as bad as he usually is.

... what do you think he'd like?

[dustedsunlight]

Yay!

Well... I know he'd really like anything if it came from you. I'm sure you've had memories that are uniquely between you and him. Maybe you could re-make something from one of those.

[mygodmyright]

I don't have any memories about him like that.

[ ... ] Even if I did hypothetically, he wouldn't remember any of them and the sentiment would be completely lost.

[dustedsunlight]

I'm sure you have some.... though I guess America wouldn't want to admit that you two are getting along, either.

Something practical, then! And every time he uses it, he'll think of you!

[mygodmyright]

[ this is England muttering to himself about stuff ]

A broom? no... perhaps-- a tea strainer.

Right. I'll have to think about it.

[dustedsunlight]

Okay! I'm sure you'll come up with something.

I'll talk to the scientists about getting some apples. What else do you need for an apple pie?

[mygodmyright]

Butter, flour, brown sugar... and pastry flour for the crust, most certainly.

[ ... ] America was particularly fond of Jonagold variety apples.

[dustedsunlight]

Okay, I'll see if I can get those. I'll make sure to tell you if I do.

Oh, and... do you know anything Canada might like? I want to help with his party, since he says he gets forgotten a lot, and I want to know the right kind of things to get.

[mygodmyright]

Cana--

[ OH SHIT ]

[mygodmyright]

Lemon tart.

He was always fond of lemon tarts, and Clafoutis aux Cerise.

[dustedsunlight]

Alright! I'll ask the scientists!

Thank you so much, England. I knew you were a nice guy.
