So this prom isn't just for the high school kids, right? I've always wanted to go to one! They always seemed really swell. The kids have lots of fun.

But I need a date! So who wants to go with me? I'm a real good dancer!


[Later, Phonecall to Canada]

Hey. I need to talk with you.

Mr. America? Is that you?

[redwhiteandhero]

You know it!

[balzams]

I didn't know you were here in Mayfield.

Did you only just arrive?

[redwhiteandhero]

I've been here a month or so now.

[balzams]

Really?

[Honestly, he's surprised he hadn't heard him]

So I guess everyone's been telling you about this place then.

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah, I think I got the hang of it by now. It's basically like home! I'm working down at the fire station.

[balzams]

R-really?

Don't you think there's something different about it?

[redwhiteandhero]

Well, there's the part where you can't get out.

[balzams]

Not even that! There's-

...

Actually I guess you weren't here when the really bad stuff happened...

[redwhiteandhero]

But I heard! They got people to kill each other!

[balzams]

W-well... I wasn't around for that but it does sound like something they'd do.

Yeah, they kidnapped people when I first arrived... Did some kind of surgery to them...

How can you say it's like home?

[redwhiteandhero]

Well not that part!

[balzams]

So it isn't like home at all!

Ah... well maybe it is for you. I guess it is modeled after an American town, even if it is kinda old...

[redwhiteandhero]

Are you from the future too?

[balzams]

That depends, are you from the past?

[He's hoping and praying that it isn't from the Cold War]

[redwhiteandhero]

I'm from the present.

[HE IS oops but he's working on getting over that.]

[balzams]

So... 2012?

[redwhiteandhero]

1956.

[balzams]

[Dammit!]

...No wonder you say it's like home.

[redwhiteandhero]

And you're all from the future.

[balzams]

Who's all of us?

[redwhiteandhero]

I dunno, it seems like most've the other nations I've met here are. You an' your brothers for sure.

[balzams]

We're not really brothers...

But Russia's from a really long time ago, I know that much.

[redwhiteandhero]

Like I give a crap.

[balzams]

I was just saying... it's not like I like it either.
