"America! You come back here young lady!" England yelled. America turned to glare at her former caretaker. They had met up to attempt to discuss a deal. The Shot Heard 'Round the World still sounded loud to America, even if it had happened days ago.

British troops had been going to Concord when the American minutemen attacked them in Lexington. They had been told not to fire unless fired upon, and that war would begin there if that was what had to be done. Sadly, many minutemen were killed there.

Now England had invited America over so they could try to sort out this mess. They wanted to prevent war, but England was still unwilling to allow America more freedom. He told her she wasn't ready for that much responsibility, and that she needed to stop being ungrateful.

That's what led up to what was currently happening.

"England, this is the only chance you have to stop this war early! All I'm asking for is to be treated with more respect, and to have a little more freedom. I'll stay your colony if you give me that much, damn it!" America snapped. England shook his head.

"That's not all your asking for, America! You're trying to leave me, and I'm your older brother! Why must you be so ungrateful, you little brat!?" he hissed. America stalked back over to her older brother.

"I'm not ungrateful! You just think you can be all nice to be while treating the rest of my country like crap! I won't take it anymore, England!" she snarled. England glared down at his little sister, staring into her determined blue eyes. She was so stubborn, a quality he used to find adorable...

Now it was just a huge problem. England shook his head and looked down. "America...Do you really want to go through with this? I'm the world superpower, I'm the strongest empire in the world! Are you sure you want to attempt a rebellion against me?" he asked in a soft voice. He was trying to make America to see the light, desperate to avoid war with his little sister and still keep her.

"I'm sure, England. Goodbye." America growled, knowing that England was just as stubborn as herself. She knew what he was trying to do. He wanted to keep her and still treat her like crap, but make her feel like he was too powerful to be rebelled against. But America would show him.

She'd prove him wrong.
