___________________________________________

Alfred was late to the World Meeting. This was the first one since Caleb's death, so no nations were upset when an extremely tired and disheveled America walked through the doors. Everybody kept their eyes to the floor, not daring to break this bitter atmosphere. The meeting was quiet for five minutes until Germany softly coughed and stood up. He looked to his normally happy ally and knew Alfred could not speak without crying. So, wishing to bring some sort of relief to his friend, he took charge of the meeting.

"Ve are all avare of ze recent passing of Caleb, ze vorld has lost a sveet spirit. Vhich is vhy zis meeting vill focus on terminal illness und acts ve can do to prevent zem. Uny objections?" Germany asked. Nobody said a word. Two hours passed of this painful meeting, and America still hadn't even looked up. England and Canada were to his sides and saw why he hadn't looked up. America was hiding his tears and was doing a good job of doing so. Finally, a lunch break was called and everybody left. Everybody except America. He laid his head on his arms, and dozed off.

...

America was floating around in an empty void, looking around for something. He floated up the void, down the void, left and right, even twirled. There was nothing but black. Then laughter could be heard, a child's laughter. America cocked an eyebrow and turned his head, seeing Caleb laughing at him.

"Play with me, Alfie! Come on!" Caleb floated over to America and hugged him, "please play with me, Alfie!" Caleb took America's hand and showed him to a playground. It was the hospital playground, where they had first met. Caleb disappeared, and a memory started to form.

Alfred smiled at the memory. A smile that hadn't graced his face since Caleb's death. He then turned his head to see another memory.

The memory changed again

Memory after memory of Caleb's smile began to flash. When it all stopped and a glow was in the black infinite distance. Alfred ran to it and saw Davie and Caleb.

"Alfie!" Caleb ran up to Alfred and jumped into his arms. Alfred twirled him around and hugged him tightly.

"How you doin big guy?" Alfred asked. Caleb pointed to Davie and giggled.

"We have been having so much fun! I can run and jump and play again! Davie said you played just like I am! So, we're both happy! He also said it was ok that you didn't fulfill your promise! He knew you cared!" Caleb jumped down and dragged Alfred to the field. It was the same field where he had met Davie. Alfred began to cry but smiled.

"This is where you like to play?" Alfred asked. Caleb and Davie nodded as they dragged Alfred to play with them. It seemed like happiness finally returned to Alfred as the world around him began to fade.

"We love you, Alfie!" Davie and Caleb yelled. America smiled and waved at them, crying when he finally opened his eyes.

...

America saw all the nations looking worriedly at him and Canada and England shaking him gently. He picked up his head and rubbed his eyes.

"Sorry dudes, guess I was just a little tired," America felt water when he rubbed his eyes. He looked at his hands and saw tears, and sighed. Canada helped America up and Germany nodded.

"America, jou should go home und rest. Ve vill adjourn ze meeting early," all the nations left except America, Canada, England, and France.

"Lad, you alright?" England asked worriedly. France wiped America's tears with a handkerchief and worriedly smiled. America nodded as he weakly smiled.

"Ya, I am now. I know he's going to be ok," America stood up and his stomach rumbled. The four nations laughed as Canada grabbed his hand.

"Come on Alfie. I'll make you pancakes!"

"I vant to 'elp too! I will make my amazing crepes!"

"I'll make some-"

"NO" France and Canada both screamed, making America laughed. They all left the building and America felt the warmth reach him. He smiled as he felt a breeze blow by him with a faint whisper.

"We love you Alfie...Thank you!"

America looked up and smiled. He nodded and proceeded to walk with his family. He knew they would be ok.
