Title: "East"
Prompt: # 6 - East
Rating: G
Summary: America looks to the east where someone he cares about has sailed.
America had a foreign feeling building in his stomach as he gazed into the east, watching the waves, watching the water that had carried England away from him. The other had left that morning, beginning the journey that would take him back towards his home. America’s heart fluttered when he thought about their friendship beginning to be rebuilt. He realized that he wanted more than that. When the other thought he was looking on him in amusement he was really watching his mouth, wondering what he tasted like. He wondered if he would ever have the courage to tell him.

Title: "Compass"
Prompt: # 1 - Compass
Rating: G
Summary: England wonders if he made a mistake.
England stared down at the ornate compass in his hand, the intricate foreign designs. It was from China, a culture vastly different from his home. He turned it, the western letters designating the words north, south, east, west. West, he turned, watching the dial until it told he was facing in the right direction. He wondered if the journey to America had been a mistake, he smiled in amusement at his predicament. He was chained, wanting so much more than the friendship now. He now had a taste of what closeness with America would feel like and he wanted it.

Title: "Sky"
Prompt: # 11 - Sky
Rating: G
Summary: America creates a flying machine.
America looked excitedly at the plans for an air craft. It was unheard of, the foreign concept of a machine that could fly in the sky. He could feel it, it was the epitome of freedom, no more restrictions. He knew the invention would cause the world to shift. The length of a journey could be shortened, business and industry could expand, people would be able to see their loved ones that much sooner. He smiled softly, if this invention worked he would be able to see England faster than the multi-day trip across the Atlantic. He grinned happily.

Title: "Embark"
Prompt: # 16 - Embark
Rating: G
Summary: America is leaving to tell him.
He decided today was the day, he would journey to England’s house and tell him. He embarked on a passenger liner, making his way across the ocean, hoping he would not lose his nerve when the other was actually in front of him. He wondered how England would respond, would it ruin their friendship? Would he find the idea so foreign and abhorrent that he would never look at him again? He sighed and leaned against the railing, how would he phrase it? Should he go Hollywood style or not? America breathed deeply, hoping that it would all work out.
