Weird request because I don't think I've ever seen it done. Beware for length.
America is under a lot of stress. Meetings, conferences, travel - he's tired. He feels alone and with the world on his shoulders. Even his close relationships are becoming strained, including with England and Canada. He needs a break. So, he takes a day off.
That same day Tony is testing his new video game system(he wants to show Alfred that alien tech is much better than anything Japan or Korea has). It's really a virtual reality device. But after Alfred puts his specs in as a player, something goes buggy and the whole thing goes boom

“Yo, Tony,” America greeted his housemate as he flopped down own the couch, completely exhausted and soaking wet.
“You're home earlier,” the alien mentioned offhandedly. America grunted.
“Well, yeah, stressful day,” the Nation shrugged, “Needed to leave the meeting after England and me got into our fifth argument of the day. And then the hurricane hit. It's still storming outside. I'm thinking bout taking the next couple days off. With the economy, all these fucking meetings, and the new boss, I've been busy as hell. I need sometime to myself, ya know

As America played around with clothing styles, Tony explained the game to him.
“So, this is set during during the late 1600s, early 1700s,” Tony began, “The storyline goes that what if the Salem Witch Trials were right? That there were witches and magic crap floating about. You basically are playing as a witch hunter trying to stop all the black magic going about. However, the twist is that you've also got magic yourself and you need to hide it from your fellow hunters. You also have got to save the other good witches, while slaying the bad ones

“Fuck,” America swore, after seemingly hours of screaming for Tony. The alien was obviously not going to answer anytime soon. At first, America thought the alien was pulling a nasty trick on him, but after awhile, he realized something was truly wrong. For all his snark, the alien was a good friend. Tony wouldn't leave the Nation hanging just for kicks.
“Damn hurricanes,” America muttered, easily deducing they were the cause of the technical difficulties, “They do this when I'm on WoW too. Fucking lightning fries the system in the middle of raids...Fucking hell.”
At first, America tried logging out of the game. Tony had mentioned that the visor would respond to his thoughts, but when all he got was a headache after trying to bring up the exit screen, America gave up. And he knew better than to go looking for a save point. Tony was a hard core gamer with a strong belief in only having one life in a game. Tony didn't like having too many save points. Hell, the alien thought that early Metroid games had too many save points. And Tony

Our World
In his time on Earth, Tony had picked up several bad habits from America, including a terrible taste in food, a love of horror movies, and a severe unwillingness to ask for help or admit when something was wrong. So when Canada called, Tony said nothing about the “accident.”
“So...when did you say America would comeback exactly?” Canada asked over the phone.
“Few days,” Tony replied. He wasn't lying...America had said he was taking a few days off

“Thank God!” the intruder (America? But America had died...he had died so young...) laughed happily, “I thought I was stuck here forever! Tony must have beamed you guys in to get me. Man, I know I said I wanted a vacation, but I was kinda hoping to spend a little time at the beach with too, you know? Well, maybe not for very long, Iggy, since you burn like your scones...But I gotta admit, this place is fucking amazing! As soon as Tony gets the kinks worked out of his system, I totally wanna come back. Everything is so real and accurate! Awesome graphics.”
“What the bloody hell are you talking about?!” England yelped, pushing away the taller man once he got over his shock, “Who are you?”
The intruder raised an eyebrow, “Are you okay, England? I know that I ditched my glasses, but I don't look that different

"What are you getting at, America?" England asked, confusion written on his face. America paled. Usually the Briton started reacting as soon as one Revolutionary War reference was made, drunk or not. America should be getting pummeled and banned from sex for a week, not stared at like he had gone bonkers.
"What about you Canada?" America asked, desperation coloring his tone, "Milk in a bag? Kraft dinners? Hockey?!"
Canada shook his head. America looked like he choked on his own tongue. He had to be in an alternate universe.
Since when did Canada not know about hockey?!
notes: If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a gamer-girl. >.> Sorry for the references. If you don't get it, no worries. And while I thought of America as a gamer, I though of him as more of a casual kinda of gamer-guy since he has so many other interests (ie. Sports, gun collecting, politics, archeology, fucking England, etc.). Tony, on the other hand, I thought to be a real crazy hardcore kinda guy when it came to gaming and hates having to save. He's pretty

Wheee! Another section Author!Anon, and as delicious as the first.
I wouldn't think that America put it together to quickly, since he thinks he's having problems with the game it would naturally be the first thing he would bring up.
I wouldn't worry about the gamer references, I don't game but it was easy to grasp the sense of what America meant from what he said. And in fanon at least Tony is often portrayed as this sort of hardcore gamer that easily lies to other countries and causes problems, so I think you've got him down.
If you don't mind what other fills are you working on? (I feel like I've read your writing style before and am curious now.)
Anyway great work Author!Anon, I just can't wait for the next part. Keep up the awesome work!

This is my 12th fill actually >.> Been thinking about taking a 13th one, since "Thirteen" is an important number in fanfiction for me. lulz, Salem Witch Trials America This is my third ongoing one tho (all the others were oneshots). The other two I'm currently working on are "No Known Cure" with amnesia!America as a doctor and "Haunting You" with ghost!America and tortured!England. Haha...maybe one of these days I'll de-anon myself.
And America hasn't really put it all together...he just thinks it's REALLY odd that Canada doesn't know about hockey and is saying the Alt. Reality thing as a joke. Sorry I wasn't being clear enough to bring that across. Gotta work on that. >.

I was right, I do in fact read all of your ongoing fills. (not I feel like some sort of creepy stalker orz It was unintentional I assure you, and completely your fault for writing such readable things.)
America is under a lot of stress. Meetings, conferences, travel - he's tired. He feels alone and with the world on his shoulders. Even his close relationships are becoming strained, including with England and Canada. He needs a break. So, he takes a day off.
