I remember it very clearly of what possibly made America dislike me. I don't really like to think about it, but I have lived through it. I can't help but to remember it sometimes.

1947
Why did it have to come to this? I still remember the day my boss got pissed off at Alfred's boss and declared war. I do not want to hurt my precious boyfriend. It would be wrong to. He's the love of my life and I would not want to harm him in any way. Of course, it isn't my boss's fault. It's Alfred's boss that's the problem. He was hating on my home, all because it was different than his. 'Communism is wrong!' he said. He kept shouting hateful things towards us, which I guess made my boss snap. I understand why he would. Still...I can't believe I have to fight Alfred. I have to call him.

"Whatever happens, Ivan, please know that I will always love you."

"I will always love you too. Please stay safe."

Alfred places his lips onto mine. I kiss him back. I do not want to pull away, as I'm afraid that he'll get hurt if I let him leave my side. But I have to.

We have to be strong.

1957
We have to be the first ones into space. It's irritating knowing how close those damn Americans are. The only good American is Alfred. He didn't sign up for this. I didn't either. I'm sorry, Alfred but I need to get there first. My boss will kick my ass if you're first. He will. I know he will. He even said it to my face. "Soviet Union." I turn around, facing my boss. "We've found out new calculations."

"Tell me them."

1969
Dammit. Dammit, dammit, dammit! Those bastards won! I thought for sure we were! We were first in space! Apparently that didn't count because our main mission was to get to the moon.

"We did it! We actually did it!" I cheer, jumping up and down. "I can't believe it! Can you believe it, Mr. President?" I still can't stop playing that in my head over and over again. 'One small step for man, one giant leap for man kind.'

I'm so unbelievably happy. "Yes, America. I can believe it. Calm down, you're acting childish."

"Calm down? Sir, this is a huge thing! Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the first men to land on the moon! This is HUGE!" My cheeks start to hurt from smiling so much. I can't believe it! We successfully landed two people on the moon. I wonder what it's like up there.
My smile slowly starts to drop.

I wonder how Ivan feels about this...
