"Sir, why don't you tell them about that one time with British Admiral Howe?" Alexander suggested.

"Ooo, great idea, son-"

"DON'T CALL ME SON-"

"British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water.
32,000 troops in New York Harbor."

"Aiya, 32,000 troops in New York Harbor, aru?"

George only nodded his head in response.

"They surround our troops
They surround our troops
They surround our troops-

...

"We were
outgunned.
Outmanned-"

"What?!" Philippines just sat there wide-eyed in disbelief. She couldn't imagine it: America on the brink of defeat?!

"Werr America-san was quite a young and inexperienced country at the time compared to countries rike Igirisu-san and Fransu." Japan reasoned with her.

"Oh, good point."

"Outnumbered.
Outplanned.

We had to make an all-out stand.
I needed a right-hand man.

If I'm letting down my guard and being honest here, I was the model of a modern major general.
The venerated Virginian veteran
whose men are all lined up
to put me up on a pedestal
writin' letters to relatives embellishin' my elegance and eloquence-

BUT!

The elephant was in the room.
The truth is in yo' face
when you hear the British cannons go-"

"BOOM! NYAHAHAHA!"

"Any hope of success was fleeing.
I thought to myself,
'How could I keep leading when the people I'm leading keep retreating?!
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British took Brooklyn
And Knights took rook-

Alexander stood in front of George, cut him off, and shared his part of the story.

"They were battering down, we checked the damages-
We had to stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages-
We made a stand with the stamina God had granted us-
Hamilton won't abandon ship-
Yo, we stole their cannons!"

England got up from his sulking corner and gave Alexander a heavy stare-down.

"sO yOu weRe tHe blOodY yAnkeE wHo stOle my caNnoNs, hM?"

"Aw sh!-, should I-"

"Hammy, RUN."

And with that, Alexander ran as fast as he could past all the nations and out the door, hoping to escape the Englishman's wrath.

Meanwhile, George just shrugged it off; thinking he'll be fine, and continued with his story as if nothing happened.

"Imagine all the blood and
sh!tspray and

BOOM!

-goes the cannon; we're abandonin' Kips Bay and

BOOM!

There goes another ship, and-

BOOM!

-just lost southern tip and-

BOOM!

We had to run to Harlem, quick! We couldn't afford another slip!

...

I decided to divvy up my forces .
They're skittish as the British cut the city up.
This close to giving up,
facing mass scrutiny
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny!
And I thought to myself, "Are these the men with which I am to defend America?
I planned to ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance.
I couldn't be everywhere at once!
I was in dire need of assistance..."

Alexander came back in the room with England right behind him; both panting heavily.

"But if I'm not mistaken, that was when Alexander showed up and offered new solutions and ideas to winning the Revolution." Aaron added.

"Why, yes, Burr. That is correct-"

"OH, SO ITS ONLY ME THAT YOU CALL SON, HM?"

George ignored Alexander's comment and continued to say, "It was at that moment I realized that I may have found a potential war hero and great countryman."

Alexander forgot about his annoyance with George calling him 'son' and turned around and smiled that original bright, American smile.

[[1.19k!?!?! (σ≧▽≦)σ Ya know guys, honestly, *pauses and sighs* at this point, I don't think a simple 'thank you' is enough :/

So in an attempt to express my gratitude towards all of you anyway, here's the full pic of the new book cover. :D

Sorry that it doesn't all show on the space, though π_π

Well, that's all for now, I guess .-. Until next time! :D]]
