[Yep. Time's passed and now he's older whoo! The face staring at the camera is still a kid's though. Said kid currently has what looks like one of the older America's shotguns hoisted over the shoulder that isn't holding the communicator. His head is framed by open sky. He's obviously outside. (He's also pretty dirty, like any kid running outside should be.]

ENGLAND! ENGLAND! HEY ENGLAND!

Look! I've got weapons now! I can help you fight off France, I wont mess up again, I promise! This one's even better than that musket you left me. But I... hold on!

[America sets down the communicator, doing his best to angle it to have a view of the trees. Over his shoulder pops up the terrifying head of those dragon-wolf things. America doesn't seem too perturbed and it's not biting his head off, so there's nothing to worry about. Once he finally gets the camera where he wants, he stands up, aims the gun, and shoots at the trees.

It doesn't hit anything. He picks up the camera again, clearly embarrassed.]

I'm still practicing. Lt. Colonel Washington says I'll be really good at it someday, but I dunno. I'm still more comfortable with knives. Bad thing about this gun is that there's no bayonet. Teach me to shoot and we can both kick Big Brother France in the britches! I want land!

...

You can do most of the work though. He beat me up real bad last time I went after him.

Alright, Puppy, let's go!

[The wolf makes a creepy sound in reply and the two head off.]

You're very strong, America-san. [Meaning. Man you're weird.]

[starspangledhero]

I know! But I'm still too short.

[brbmodernizing]

You'll grow tall quite fast.

[starspangledhero]

Not fast enough.

[brbmodernizing]

Faster than all of us.

[starspangledhero]

Slower than people.

[brbmodernizing]

That's true..

America-san, I envy your youth. You should enjoy it.

[starspangledhero]

I do enjoy it! I just... wanna be more useful to England.

[...]

And I wanna see what else is out there.

[brbmodernizing]

Waiting may add to its worth.

Ah, but, do not worry. You'll see what is out there in no time.

[starspangledhero]

Everyone keeps saying "in no time", but a lot of time sure has passed between then and now!

[brbmodernizing]

...It is difficult to explain correctly.

Although, time starts to seem fast after a certain point. There's no need to worry about it now.

[starspangledhero]

People keep saying that too. "Enjoy things now, America." "Don't worry about it now, America." "There's plenty of time for you to grow up, America."

Yeah, well, I can enjoy it, but I'm never gonna move forward if I don't take initiative!

[brbmodernizing]

Initiative is fine. ... Just, do not worry so much over things.

[starspangledhero]

I'm not worried.

[stubborn little kid is stubborn]

[brbmodernizing]

...Good.

[Nervous Japan is nervous.]

[starspangledhero]

Not over me. I know I'll be bigger and better in time, but...

[brbmodernizing]

...

I apologize, America-san. I wish I had the words to help you. Your situation currently is.. unique.

[starspangledhero]

Unique?

[brbmodernizing]

Ah..

I am afraid that explaining it will cause trouble.

[starspangledhero]

I wanna know!

[brbmodernizing]

[Regretting mentioning anything gfkl;dss. Usually so good at this sort of thing ahh]

[starspangledhero]

TELL MEEEEEE!

[brbmodernizing]

Are you aware of where you are, America-san?

[starspangledhero]

I'm...

[WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ASKING HIM THIS SOB.]

I'm in Discedo. But. I could've sworn I was in Virginia just a second ago. Where'd all the grass go?
