"What are you getting at, America?" England asked, confusion written on his face. America paled. Usually the Briton started reacting as soon as one Revolutionary War reference was made, drunk or not. America should be getting pummeled and banned from sex for a week, not stared at like he had gone bonkers.
"What about you Canada?" America asked, desperation coloring his tone, "Milk in a bag? Kraft dinners? Hockey?!"
Canada shook his head. America looked like he choked on his own tongue. He had to be in an alternate universe.
Since when did Canada not know about hockey?!
notes: If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a gamer-girl. >.> Sorry for the references. If you don't get it, no worries. And while I thought of America as a gamer, I though of him as more of a casual kinda of gamer-guy since he has so many other interests (ie. Sports, gun collecting, politics, archeology, fucking England, etc.). Tony, on the other hand, I thought to be a real crazy hardcore kinda guy when it came to gaming and hates having to save. He's pretty bossy and scary on online play too. Beh, Tony is hard to write since there's not much info on him.
Also, sorry to all you Canadians out there. I HAD to put in a hockey obsession joke...I mean, every Canadian I met goes crazy over hockey. I've seen fangirls and I've seen Canadian hockey fans. The hockey fans are scarier. As for why Canada doesn't know hockey...Well, the first game of hockey wasn't played until the 1800s. Simply put, in the Other World, the game wasn't invented. Nor was Kraft Dinners nor milk in a bag. Canada is so un-Canadian.
BTW alt!Canada appears to be about eight to ten years old. Really cute, eh?
Eh, I hope no one thinks that they're accepting America a little to quickly, or that America is accepting that they're not his England and Canada too quickly, but I didn't want to spend too much time with them dancing around each other trying to figure each other out. That gets annoying, and I've got lots of fun things to cover. Like the fact that the Other World's time period coincides with the Golden Age of Piracy. Just a little more explanation/discovery bits in the next chapter to iron out all the doubts.

Wheee! Another section Author!Anon, and as delicious as the first.
I wouldn't think that America put it together to quickly, since he thinks he's having problems with the game it would naturally be the first thing he would bring up.
I wouldn't worry about the gamer references, I don't game but it was easy to grasp the sense of what America meant from what he said. And in fanon at least Tony is often portrayed as this sort of hardcore gamer that easily lies to other countries and causes problems, so I think you've got him down.
If you don't mind what other fills are you working on? (I feel like I've read your writing style before and am curious now.)
Anyway great work Author!Anon, I just can't wait for the next part. Keep up the awesome work!

This is my 12th fill actually >.> Been thinking about taking a 13th one, since "Thirteen" is an important number in fanfiction for me. lulz, Salem Witch Trials America This is my third ongoing one tho (all the others were oneshots). The other two I'm currently working on are "No Known Cure" with amnesia!America as a doctor and "Haunting You" with ghost!America and tortured!England. Haha...maybe one of these days I'll de-anon myself.
And America hasn't really put it all together...he just thinks it's REALLY odd that Canada doesn't know about hockey and is saying the Alt. Reality thing as a joke. Sorry I wasn't being clear enough to bring that across. Gotta work on that. >.

I was right, I do in fact read all of your ongoing fills. (not I feel like some sort of creepy stalker orz It was unintentional I assure you, and completely your fault for writing such readable things.)

First of all, the pacing of the story is great. I am not surprised that England and Canada accepted him quickly; the explanation that Canada recognized his twin is convincing to me. And despite how dumb he acted, America was actually pretty sharp, so it's not so farfetched that he noticed something was off right away. The only thing that bugged me is that America believed he was playing a virtual reality game in the beginning of the story, so why did he suspect that he was in an alternative reality all of a sudden? For all he knew, England and Canada could be NPCs based partly on his memories... (Or maybe you are going to explain that in the next chapters and I am just jumping ahead? XD)
I am very very VERY curious about the story now :D America better not let Iggy knew that he was a nation now not a colony lol And it's going to be epic watching England vs. England...
Oh, and I love your Tony. This is the first time I like Tony O_O

America actually does NOT know that he's in another universe...he just thinks it's REALLY funny that Canada doesn't know about hockey and is saying the Alt. Reality thing as a joke. (You know, the whole the world must be ending/hell freezing over/got transported to another universe because normalcy is all wonky sort of thing) Sorry I wasn't being clear enough to bring that across. Gotta work on that. >.< I'll probably fix it if I ever de-anon myself

Oh YES, gaming. I was squeeing when I saw the mentions of Diablo (and I bet Al and Tony are just salivating at the mouth for Diablo II) and WoW. I can totally believe that Al is bigtime into gaming, it's even canon what with Japan giving him gaming consoles for his birthday. And I enjoyed reading the equippage scene where Al is making up his character- reminds me of the fun times of ginning up an avatar for an RPG. Can't wait to see how the game mechanics of leveling up his spells and so on will work (also I'm glad you kept him a male). Will he see in-game menus that only he can see or what?
Also, I don't think he accepted them too quickly at all or vice versa. You put in a very reasonable and plausible justification for that. I mean, if they could 'feel' he was a Nation, in canon, without even meeting him properly....
Can't wait to see the next chapter, and how alfred died in that world, and if he can do magic now can he see England's fairies?
