"Always the same, old story."
Canada was walking alone, sighing. The world meeting ended a few minutes ago and of course he joined: it was interesting, it talked about global pollution. Matthew had some good ideas: he loved his country and he wanted it to remain clean. He thought at lots of plans to save the Earth and he was ready to state them to all the other nations, sure that they would approve them. Well, they would… if they only left him talk. He couldn't open his mouth for the whole meeting and when he did, nobody was listening to him, so at last he returned home sad and depressed.
"I'm sure that the  world would be a better place if someone even listened to me."
The boy sighed. "Well, there's nothing I can do." America had taken his car, so he had to walk back home. He began to sing softly his country's anthem; then, he passed to other songs. He was singing "Complicated" when he noticed that a girl was staring at him. He shut up blushing, but the girl come near him and said: - Oh nononono, go on please! You have such a nice voice!
Canada's blush darkened, but he smiled and continued to sing, with the girl at his side staring at him with wide, amazed eyes. When he closed his mouth, she clapped her hands enthusiastically. – Great, great! You have an amazing voice!
- Tha-Thanks, but nobody listen to me anyways, eh – he replied shyly.
- Really? – She asked disappointed.
- Well… yes, really… In very truth I'm quite ignored…
- That's not fair! You deserve more love!
- That's kind of you, bu-but we both can do nothing...
- Oh yes, we can. You know, I'm part of a band and we need another singer. You can join if you want! All the world will know your worth.
Matthew opened his mouth to refuse, but he didn't say nothing. It was quite a good idea, and he wouldn't have another possibility. Plus, that girl was so nice and cute!
- A-Alright then, you convinced me. When and where?
- Great! See you Monday at my friend's house, that's the address. And here you have my number if you need anything.
- Thanks! My name's Matthew Williams.
- Welcome in the band, Matthew! I'm [Name] [Surname].
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.--.-.--.-.--.--.-.--.-.-.--.-
And finally Monday came. Canada was nervous, but he knew that [Name] would be there so he felt a bit more relaxed. He didn't know why, but that girl relaxed him. Maybe her shining eyes, maybe her warm smile, maybe her cute voice… "Wait, isn't this her voice?" he thought surprised. A loud music come from a garage, and he could hear [Name]'s voice singing. He come closer and closer to hear better, but suddenly the doors opened. – Oh, hi! – a boy cheered him. – [Name], is this your friend? – he yelled at the singer. She smiled and cheered him with a smile. – Matthew, I'm glad you came! Come here, this is our song. Can you sing it or it's too difficult? But I'm sure you can do it. – She gave Canada a sheet. – Listen, I'm not sure if I… - he began to say, but then he saw [Name]'s eyes full of expectation and he sighed. He couldn't give up now.
"Well, it can't be so hard" he thought, and he raised his voice, beginning to sing. It wasn't like humming in the street or in the shower: someone was listening to him, and they liked what they was hearing. When he finished to sing, everyone clapped their hands enthusiastically, while [Name] shook his hand to congratulate. – You really are who we need – she affirmed smiling. Canada smiled too: he never felt so regarded, so loved. Those friends would help him to be regarded from England or America! – Alright, now we all have to work really hard. Our concert is in a month – [Name] exclaimed.
- What concert? – Canada asked worried.
- Oh, don't worry… We believe you can do it. You'll make it so beautiful.
And so Canada worked really hard. He learnt songs, went to the rehearsals and to some singing lessons to improve his voice. When someone asked him why he was so busy, he always replied: - I found my way to the stage!
The Saturday, when he had to go to the rehearsals, became his favourite day, and [Name] became his best friend. She was cute, cheerful and understanding. He told her about his problems and she listened to him; she even advise him… and she believed in him.
That month went by faster than usual, and the great concert's day came. – Mattie, it's important, really important, you have to do it! – [Name] exclaimed.
- N-No I won't do it… It's so embarrassing and dangerous…
- Embarrassing? Dangerous? But he's your brother!
- I know, that's the problem! He doesn't wanna come to the concert, and if he comes, he's going to destroy the event!
- That's your only chance to gain his respect! If you don't ask him, Mattie, I won't talk to you anymore.
He sighed. – Fine, I'll ask him. – He took his mobile phone and waited until he didn't hear his brother's voice exclaiming: - Heeey, Mattie! What's the problem? The aliens kidnapped you?
- No Alfred, no aliens here. I'm having a concert and my friend wants you to co--
- Whaaaat, a concert? You?! I don't believe it! And a friend? What friend? Is she cute? I wanna see her!
- Al, it's today at---
- Today, why today? I have to go out today! Well I don't mind coming to your "concert", so wait for me! See you soooon!
- Well, I told him, somehow – Matthew shrugged. – Now let's get prepared for the show.
The stage was huge; the instruments were already at their right place and the lights were awesome, but a bit frightful for Canada. Some people were already sitting and others were coming… The only missing thing was the band and its singers. [Name] came beside Matthew and hugged him. – It will be fantastic, believe me. Now let's rock.
As soon as they appeared on the stage, the public cheered them enthusiastically.
- Thank you all for being here! – [Name] shouted. – It's Erik at the guitar, Edmund at the piano, Rose at the drums and me and Matthew singing! Do enjoy the show!
So they began to sing. Singing in the rehearsal was fantastic, but in front of a public it was more than fantastic, much more. His mind went totally blank during the show, and he returned to think only when the song finished. Everyone stood up and clapped, shouting loudly: - MATTHEW! MATTHEW! – and a well-known voice screamed: - Ahah, he's my brother!
Canada blushed and bowed clumsily. He wanted to go away, to escape from all that people, but [Name] kept him there with a hug. – I knew you could do it! – She smiled.
- I owe it to you, [Name], I owe you all this! How can I repay you?
- Ice cream with maple syrup? – She replied with a laugh.
