"Thank you very much, love. It means a lot to me that you're doing this,"
"Oh, don't worry, England. It is my honour,"
"Once again, I thank you. I'll be off, now,"
"Have a good night with your friends, England. I will keep everything in order, I promise,"
"I trust you will do so,"

The door closed.

(Name) (last name) was a good friend of Arthur Kirkland – personification of England -, and has just been asked to babysit his baby brother Alfred, who was the personification of America. Knowing the child has been a trouble lately, and Arthur was tired, she told him to go out for a night, and that she'd babysit him. Arthur – being very thankful to his friend – took the offer soon enough, and had just left the house for the night.

Little pitter-patters of tiny footsteps were heard through the hallways of the mansion England and America lived in, indicating that the other person in this house was running towards the girls' location. A blond and white blur came out of nowhere, and tackled the poor girl to the floor.

"(name)!! (Name)!! You really came!! I thought Iggy was lying when he told me you'd be babysitting me, but you're really here I'm so happy and let's play games because I'm not tired and I don't want to go to bed and-"
"ALFRED,"

He looked at you innocently, his baby blue eyes holding happiness.

You looked at the grandfather clock, only to see that it was 8:30PM already.

"Okay, Alfred. Your bedtime is at nine, right?"

The boy nodded, confirming the information England had given you beforehand.

"How about we play some games until 8:50, and then you make yourself ready for bed?"

The boy nodded rapidly, happy that he could play with you.

The girl chuckled.

"Go and get your games, then,"
"YAAAY!"

"Okay Alfred, it's time to go to bed,"
"Aww, but I don’t want to!"
"But you need to. England told me to get you to bed at all costs,"
"But I'm not tired!"
"I don't care. You're going to bed, whether you like it or not,"

The boy would have tried again, but the stern look (name) was giving him, made him succumb to her, as he lowered his head.

"Okay..." he muttered, going to the bathroom to make himself ready.

After he got ready, he slowly climbed into the bed, thinking of ways to keep on being awake. Once he was settled, he had an idea.

"Hey, (name)?!"
"Yes, Alfred?"
"Can you read me a bedtime story?!"

The girl smiled at him, not knowing the plan of the child.

"Of course, darling,"

Going to the bookshelf England insisted America had, she picked a random book about superheroes, being certain he would fall asleep with it. Sitting on a chair with the book in her lap, she began to read.

"Once upon a time, in the..."

"Enough now, Alfred! It's time to sleep!"
"Please! Just one more!"
"This was the 20th story I read you! No more!"
"Please!"

The girl had never known that America would drive her to the border of impatience. She felt as if she was losing her mind, and now she understood how England felt the last days. Lowly growling at him, she replied with a harsh no.

Suddenly, Alfred had a new idea.

"Then sing me a song!"

The girl perked at that, being surprised.

"A... song?"
"Yes! A bedtime-song! Please?!?!"

The girl weighed her options, before she hesitantly accepted.

"...F-Fine. But JUST one. No more. Then you'll sleep without complains!"

Alfred nodded rapidly again, because his plan was to fake him being asleep, and then play DS and his other consoles all night long.

"Okay... Which one do you want to hear? NO superheroes,"

The child whined at that, with a disappointed 'aww'. Unknown to him, the girl got an idea herself.

"Hey, I have a song, and I'm sure you'll fall asleep with it. Want to hear it?"

Alfred, being reluctant, agreed nonetheless, hoping he wouldn't fall asleep.

(name) smiled.

"Good. Now make yourself comfortable and listen closely,"

After the girl made sure America was comfortable in his bed, she began to sing a song her mother had always sung her when she couldn't sleep.

"Alas, my love
You do me wrong
To cast me off
Discourteously
For I have loved you
So long,
Delighting in
Your company,"


America could feel his eyes droop. He didn't want to fall asleep, yet the song was so calm and soothing, he thought he could hear the music.

"Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who, but my Lady
Greensleeves?

Your vows,
You've broken
Like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now, I remain in a world apart,
But my heart remains in captivity,"


His brain was fighting his body, his mind not wanting to fall asleep, yet his body seemed so exhausted. Not holding it any longer, he let his body win, and slowly fell asleep with the soothing voice of his babysitter accompanying him to sleep.

"Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who, but my Lady
Greensleeves?"


(Name) smiled knowingly down at the child in the covers. Having known perfectly well how soothing this song is, she was sure he'd fall asleep. And her assumption was right.

Finally feeling accomplished and exhausted, she sang the last verse of the familiar song, before succumbing to sleep herself.

"Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who, but my Lady
Greensleeves...?"

All the while, England was watching the two from the doorway, having a smile on his face. He felt refreshed from the night out, and the night air did him well. He watched as she fell asleep, then put a blanket on her, before he left the room quietly.

"I'll leave her a note and some clothes in the morning. I will have to thank her properly tomorrow," he whispered to himself, finished it with a grateful smile, before he went to bed that night.
Haha, just a little thing I wrote about now. It was fun.

I'm sorry I'm not posting anything anymore! I've just been talking to friends and playing a childhood game which I haven't played in a long time, and it's kind of sucking me in. It's Florensia, and it's frickeshly awesome!

I should be asleep right now, but I don't care.
I have a stomachache, but I don't care.

Nothing belongs to me, except for the plot.

Well then, goodnight, my Pies
