and the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Characters: America, France, England, open
Setting: the cafeteria and the library
Format: action
Summary: America finally learns about the Fourth of July
Warnings: tiny colonial baby learning about that whole revolution thing
A; Cafeteria - CLOSED TO FRANCE
[It wasn't unusual for America to wander around the Tower on his own, at least a little bit. More than England knew about, really, but being in the cafeteria was hardly unusual for him. And they had good food again, so America was taking advantage of it. He'd stacked chocolate pancakes high enough they were a hazard to carry around, and he'd been unable to choose between chocolate or strawberry milk and had thus gone with both.
He's in a good mood today! What could go wrong?]
B; library - OPEN
[There were books scattered everywhere, some in piles, some open and abandoned, some left dangling off of chairs--it looked as if a small hurricane had taken place in the library, and given this was the Tower that wasn't impossible. But the real source of all the chaos is sitting on a book shelf he's rapidly clearing out. He's got a dictionary on his left and he's reading something else--but eventually he sighs and tosses it onto the ground.
This explains the state of the library.]
There's nothing here! It's not here at all!
C; England's room - CLOSED TO ENGLAND
[And, after tearing the library apart and finding absolutely nothing that would help as far as intricate details went, America had to return to England's room in the evening exhausted and unhappy. He knows England is sick--he was sick last year around this time, too--and he doesn't really want to bother him, especially with something France basically said was going to make him sad.
Instead he climbs into bed and tucks himself against England's side, trying not to look too downcast. He still looks really unhappy and frustrated, though, in spite of his best efforts.]

You can't! Go away! I'm doing important stuff!

[And Tohko propped the ladder on the shelf to pick up the kicked books and set them on a nearby table before glaring at the boy again.]
I don't think you heard me the first time then! Come down, clean up, apologize, and then I'll help you with whatever you're doing! Librarians are here to help people, but it's not fair to us and everyone else here if you're making a mess like this!

That's not true! I managed to save a friend of mine back home with books, and I've helped out quite a few other people with them! Books can save countless people! And while I'm not a huge fan of this place either, it's not its fault that it's horrible.

[Hang on..a few pieces were clicking together in Tohko's head.]
Don't tell me that you were attacked by one of the monsters this month though. Or were you one of them?

[He pulls himself up a bit higher, to a new shelf. A few books are dropped to the floor in his scramble.]

I know you did, and it's good that you did..but while these books might help prepare you for the next time you turn into a monster, they're not going to be of much use to you or anyone else if you treat them so roughly.
