Just a quick update here, since I really hate this part. orz

But as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
He wasn't too proud to admit that his first attempt at mending things with England had crashed and burned in spectacular flames.
For a time after England's "European conquest", America had been afraid that news of pirate attacks would include something about the ships flying a Jolly Roger that looked suspiciously like the Union Jack, but England had apparently calmed down. Enough that he even deigned to accompany his boss on a visit to the States.
America had been antsy during the meeting of their bosses, amicable though it had been, and anxious to get England alone.
That was his big chance, and in his excitement at the opportunity he hadn't really thought things through (well, even less so than usual). When they were all enjoying a drink in a local bar later, America rather hurriedly scoured the jukebox list for something to properly convey his feelings and remorse at what he'd done. A song titled "Since U Been Gone" caught his eye. With a title like that, it could only express what he wanted to say, right? Kelly Clarkson, the first winner of his American Idol, wouldn't let him down!
With a smile, he punched the button and turned to address England.
"Hey England, this song's for you!"
There was a glimmer of hopeful curiosity in England's eyes, and everyone fell silent to listen to America’s dedication.
But then as the song played, a horrible realization came over him. This was definitely not the kind of song he wanted England to hear! Meanwhile Miss Clarkson went ahead singing, "Since you’ve been gone I can breathe for the first time. I'm so moving on, yeah yeah."
"You sodding bastard-!"
It had taken nearly the whole bar to pry England off America before he killed the younger nation.
After some hasty negotiations, and a whole lot of effort to appease the enraged England, it was then agreed that America and England would not both be present in any subsequent meetings between their bosses. At least not until America learned some tact.
But America wouldn't let that deter him in the slightest, rather he steeled himself with new resolve. He'd stick with his plan, only this time he decided he'd sing the song himself. That way he'd have to check the lyrics first.

Damn I wish I'd known to check my requested fills earlier. The OP!anon fails.
So, you know the drill. I love you. You're fantastic. This is pretty much the highlight of my day. I love the way you write America and I love the way you write England and I love the way America's so oblivious and England's so (dare I say it?! Le gasp! I've resorted to French!) badass while remaining in-character and the interactions just have me grinning so hard.
