"Alright dudes! Is everyone ready to go?" America asked turning to look back at the G8 and China as they all finished packing for the trip ahead. If you're curious about the trip they're going on; it's a camping trip. The G8 and China were now regretting taking America's offer to explore his land with him. Like the personification that represented it, the land was without a doubt mysterious and dangerous at the same time.

"Yes, aru..."

"Hai, America-San..."

"Ja..."

"I'm ready and I have Germany as well!"

"Whatever wanker!"

"Oh Angleterre must you always be such a brute~?"

"Shut it frog!"

SMACK

"Da, Amerika"

"I'm ready to go, Al"

America, seeing that everyone was ready to go started walking down the designated trail, the others following him gazing in awe at the beautiful forest around them. America explained that the trees were oak and had been standing in the forest for nearly 100 years. He also said that he helped plant more than a few of them when the forest was dying. Different kinds of flower dotted the landscape making it seem like some sort of Meadow. Roses of all colors, tiger lilies, marigolds, and so much more.

As they all walked and America explained every little detail about the environment around them the nations slowly began to relax and enjoy the trip. America was glad everyone was starting to relax and enjoy themselves, he noticed they were all starting to get tense and stressed. Seeing as he's the hero and couldn't let his fellow countries suffer from the stress of having the weight of the world of their shoulders he demanded that they all take a trip with him to explore his land.

After about an hour Italy began to complain that his feet were hurting and that he wanted to stop. Knowing the Italian wasn't going to stop until they all agreed to rest America found a clearing next to a waterfall and told everyone that they would be sleeping here for tonight. America went out to get firewood while everyone else beside Italy(who passed out the moment they set foot in the camp spot) set up the tents.

As America get the wood he couldn't help, but feel a bit of nostalgia in the forest as this had significance to him that no one knew about. You see, when he first became a country he and George Washington went camping in the very same forest they were in right now.

The First president had acted as a surrogate father for the the young nation when he had no one else to comfort him. America made him a promise too. He made the young American promise that he wouldn't let anything the other countries said go to his head. So no matter how bad the insults or comments got he never gave in because that would mean he failed his father. Also America always kept his promises.

America shook his head and continued gathering wood until he decided that he had a good enough amount for one fire. As America made his way back to camp he heard a scream come from the very same direction. Scared and startled by the sudden noise, Alfred dropped the wood and ran in the direction of the camp, hoping that no one was hurt.

-------------
As America made it back to camp, firewood be damned, he was relieved to find all his allies together and in one piece. It turns out a garden snake had woken Italy up and scared the ever loving pasta out of the older country.

However, When the snake saw America it slithered away from the Italian and towards the American. America bent his arm down as the snake wrapped around the muscular arm hugging the American. At the other nations bewildered expression, America laughed and explained that the animal was harmless and couldn't do any damage even if it wanted to.

Shortly after that America bent down on one knee and let the snake slither away, back into the bush it had appeared from like it was never there in the first place.

America went back to get the firewood and managed to make it back just before dark. The patriotic nation quickly lit a fire and gathered berries for dinner. America told them they couldn't harm any animals during there time here, no matter how much they wanted meat.

While everyone was eating America took out his guitar and asked if he could sing them a song. Most of them hadn't heard the American ever sing and agreed with curious and anticipation on their faces.

Smiling, America played a few cords on the guitar and began to sing.

"Hold on, to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along

Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm gonna make this place your home~"

As the words flowed out of Alfred's mouth and into the air, the nations were surprised at the grace and comfortable feeling that radiated from the melody.

"Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found"

America smirked as the nations gave him surprised and astonished looks. They probably thought he couldn't sing because he was loud all the time.

"Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm gonna make this place your home~"

The song reminded a few of the nations of home and how important it is never to forget where you came from or how you came to be in this world. As much as the world wants to forget it's past, they all know it probably will never happen.

"Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. Oo-oo-oo-oo

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aaa-aa-aa-aaaaaa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa"

America continued to strum his guitar and hummed a little as well. He really did love music huh? Then again everything about America screamed home. America just sang his heart out.

"Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found"

The song was also making a few of them sleepy as the guitar made the fight for staying awake hard. They had been walking all day and were tired.

"Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm gonna make this place your home~"

America noticed some of the nations were starting to fall asleep, cuddling against each other. England and France, Italy and Germany, China and Russia, and Japan and Canada. America decided he should end the song soon.

"Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aaa-aa-aa-aaaaaa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa..."

America continued to sing even though his audience had fallen asleep and some were snoring lightly.

"Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa.."

America heard the snoring and decided that the song should end soon.

"Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aaa-aa-aa-aaaaaa

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa~"

With that the song ended and Alfred put his guitar to the side, going towards the one of the tents zipping it open. Alfred went back to the other nations and carried them all one by one to the tent. When he was done with that, America placed a kiss on each of their foreheads whispering good night in each of their respective languages before retiring to his own tent, where he fell asleep.
