“I really appreciate this France.” America said as he straightened up and wiped the sweat from his brow.
France smiled at him. “It is my pleasure. Although I think your children are having a fight.” he added glancing behind them.
America looked behind as well. New York and New Jersey were screaming at one another again and Virginia looked close to smacking the both of them.
America rolled his eyes as he looked back at France. “Yeah just ignore them. They’re fighting over where Liberty is. New York believes it’s in New York waters while New Jersey believes that it’s in Jersey waters.”
France glanced at the children once more. “They look as if they are ready to kill one another.”
“They might fight and beat the other up but their twins, deep down they love each other.” America said waving away France’s worries.
France shook his head in amusement as he turned back to the almost completely constructed green lady.
“She is almost ready.” France said.
America nodded and smiled. “I know. I really can’t think of a way to thank you enough.”
France smiled slightly as he slithered to America and placed an arm around the younger man’s waist. “I can think of a way you can thank me.”
America laughed as he leaned into France’s touch. “You know that won’t happen.”
France sighed in mock sadness “Ah well. A man can dream. Perhaps one day.”
America shrugged. “I can’t tell the future.”
The two of them glanced at the nearly finished construction. “I think they can finish without me, want to go back to my place and give a toast to this?” America asked.
“Only if we drink the good wine that I brought.” France said.
The walk was quick back to America’s house. Soon France was pouring the wine into glasses and with a flourish gave one to America. He pulled the glass back slightly.
“You are old enough right?” France asked with a smile around his lips.
Liberty 1/x

Americas jaw dropped. “Of course I’m old enough.”
