(Y/n) POV:

Ash:"So (Y/n), what are you going to do this fourth of July?" My girlfriend asked from across the cafeteria table. I took another bite of my eggs and stared blankly in thought.

"I'm not quite sure. Since I literally served for multiple countries, celebrating their independence days have not really been a thing for me." I replied honestly. Ash gave me a surprised look before standing up abruptly.

Ash:"That's no good then!" She exclaimed loudly.

"What's no good?" I questioned. Ash then leaned down close to my face. Her eyes stared at mine intensely.

Ash:"We are going to start a tradition together! We are going to celebrate America's independence day!" She announced with great vigor. Before I could respond, I heard five people sneeze all at once.

Tachanka/Glaz/Kapkan/Fuze/Finka:"ACHOOO!!!!" The five Russian operators sneezed at the same time. Ash and I looked at the operators, as they sniffled.

Glaz:"Comrades, did you all just get a weird feeling sent through your bodies?" The sniper asked with a shudder. Kapkan nodded in agreement.

Kapkan:"Yes, comrade. It felt like treason." He agreed, and the rest of the Russians nodded in agreement. They then turned to look at Ash and I. Suddenly, Finka's eyes widened and she pulled out her phone. The lady checked something and stood up.

Finka:"Comrades! We must hurry and make are doomsday preparations!" She barked. The Russians grew concerned.

Fuze:"Don't tell me it's that day..." He stated with worry. Finka nodded grimly. Suddenly, all of the Russians stood up from their seats.

Tachanka:"Today is our darkest hours, away my comrades!!!!" He ordered.

Spetznaz:"Yes, my lord!" They shouted in unison.

Finka then pressed something on her phone. The USSR national anthem began to play loudly. The Spetznaz operators than ran off somewhere with their music blaring. I turned to look at Ash who had a bewildered expression.

Ash:"What the hell just happened?" She asked in disbelief.

Thatcher:"Our enemy made the first strike, that's what." The explosives expert appeared out of nowhere. I turned to see that he was accompanied by Pulse, Castle, Blackbeard, Valkyrie, and Phantom. The American operators.

Pulse:"Blasphemy!" The male stated in disgust.

Castle:"I'll play my liberating mixtape." He said and pressed play on his walkman.

Blackbeard:"They need the cleansing taste of freedom!" He shouted while munching on some bacon.

Valkyrie:"We'll free them with our screaming bald eagles!" She yelled while waving around two Desert Eagles.

Phantom:"I was forced to be here...." The operator mumbled sleepily. We all looked at each other awkwardly before the FBI and American operators huddled up. They began whispering among each other while Phantom and I stood outside their circle.

Phantom:"What do you think they're talking about?" He wondered. I shrugged.

"My guess: Freedom." I replied. Phantom laughed a little and nodded in agreement. Eventually, the Americans broke their circle and turned to Phantom and I.

Ash:"(Y/n), Phantom, you two go find the most American things you can find and come back here as soon as possible." She ordered before running off with her teammates. Phantom and I looked at each other with confused expressions.

Phantom:"Most American things?" He questioned. I gave him the same confused look.

Phantom:"I guess I could bring a gun made in America." He said with an uncertain tone.

"I'll ask my girlfriend to help me out." I replied. The two of us parted ways, and I went to look for IQ.

As I walked down the hall, I heard loud shuffling of footsteps and hurried shouts. Not to mention the faint sounds of national anthems in the distance. I ignored the commotions and proceeded to IQ's room.

Once I arrived, I didn't knock quite yet. There seemed to be some sort of meeting going on in the room. I pressed my ear against the door to eavesdrop.

Bandit:"Today the Americans celebrate their independence day." He stated in a grim tone.

Blitz:"Shit! We all know what that means." The shield operator grumbled."

IQ:"Yes. Commence operation: Berlin Resistance." My girlfriend suddenly spoke.

'Operation: Berlin Resistance?' I silently questioned and stood back. There was shuffling and speaking going on inside the room. This time it was more panicky and rushed. I decided to knock on the door, but it opened to reveal IQ.

IQ:"(Y/n)! What are you doing here?" She cried out in surprise. Her expression looked nervous, and I had a suspicion. However, I decided not to push to far into it.

"I was just dropping by to ask for your help." I answered. IQ seemed slightly relieved and stepped outside of her room before quickly shutting the door.

IQ:"Help? Sure, what do you need?" She asked kindly. I scratched my head in thought.

"Ash told me to go find something really American, what should I bring?" I asked with a hopeful tone. IQ gave me a deadpanned look.

IQ:"You're asking the wrong person, (Y/n)." She replied. I shrugged.

"I know you're German, but you did study at Harvard. I on the other hand, just fought for America." I justified. IQ sighed before nodding in agreement.

IQ:"You do have a point. Okay. I'll help you find something American, just give me a minute." She agreed before reentering her room. I nodded and stepped aside to wait for her.

I stood in the hallway waiting for IQ to finish what she was doing. While I waited, I saw Rook and Doc sneaking around for some reason. Too bad they were so slow that I could overhear their whispering.

Rook:"¡Viva la resistance!"

Doc:"Only one red, white, and blue flag will win."

I didn't know what to make of their words, but that was to be discussed later. The door to IQ's room opened. I turned my head to look, and my eyes widened at the sight.

IQ:"Like what you see~?" The blonde female asked in a seductive tone. She was wearing a really skimpy swimsuit. Her chest piece had the German flag design, and on her lower piece was red with a iron cross design.

"Umm...." I was at a lost for words, and IQ giggled at my reaction. She then walked over and laced her body around me before leaning in close to my ear.

IQ:"I think I already know the answer." She teased before kissing me on the cheek. I gulped and snapped myself out of the trance.

"Okay. Everyone is acting weird. What is going on? Why are you wearing that?" I asked in desperation. IQ clicked her tongue in disappointment and shook her index finger.

IQ:"So many questions, you should already know what's going on." She scolded. My eyebrows furrowed up in not understanding the situation. IQ rolled her eyes before grabbing my arm and dragging me somewhere.

IQ:"Come on, let's find you something so American that it hurts." She said nonchalantly.

'I don't like the sound of that.' I thought to myself with concern.

Timeskip brought to you by chibi (Y/n) riding a bald eagle....

"Why do you do this to me?" I asked in pain. IQ laughed in amusement before continuing to observe me.

I was wearing a white cowboy hat, Levi jeans, Timberland boots, a NASCAR shirt, a stars and stripes pair of sunglasses, and a beer bong wrapped around my neck. In my right hand was apple pie, and my right hand was Miller Lite beer. On my arms were the American constitutional amendments written on with permanent marker. Lets not forget the obscene number of American made guns strapped to me.

IQ:"You really are so American it hurts." She said with another fit of laughter. I was tempted to rip off everything and retreat to my room, but Ash wanted me to do this, and IQ already put in a lot of work.

"Let's just get to the cafeteria." I grumbled. IQ nodded and the two of us began to walk to the cafeteria. Something important I noticed, there was either a screaming match going on or a concert, maybe both.

IQ and I stepped into the entrance to the mess hall. Crazy would be an understatement to describe what was going on. Even though it was the day of America's independence day, it seemed like today was every country's independence day.

The French operators had their flag spread across a fine wood table. Twitch was in a similar swimsuit to IQ's, bearing her national colors. Rook was acting like a mime. Doc had some sort of Eiffel Tower attachment on his stim gun. Montagne was chugging wine. Lion was dressed up as a musketeer.

The English operators had their flag standing tall. Sledge was playing his bagpipes. Thatcher was munching on muffins and sipping tea. Mute was was building a castle with his jammers and had a tiara. Smoke was playing the Austin Powers theme song.

The Japanese had their flag dangling from drones. Hibana was in a swimsuit and open kimono while waving around a katana. Echo was dressed up as a Naruto character while blasting anime ost's.

The Koreans had their flag hanging from a replica of the Seoul Tower. Dokkaebi was wearing a swimsuit with the Korean flag design, and ear raping everyone with K-Pop music and such. Vigil was sitting curled up and waving a small South Korean flag.

The Polish had their flag tied on to a wall made of cinderblock. Ela was wearing a swimsuit with her national colors and posing. This caught almost every male's attention. Zofia would occasionally glare at her younger sister while shouting her country is the best.

The Chinese seemed to be missing at first, but they were actually hanging from the roof. Lesion had rigged a whole set up to hang from the roof. Ying was devouring fried rice in her country themed swimsuit. Meanwhile, Lesion chewed on a toothpick and waved around the Chinese flag.

The Brazilians were also quite different. Caveira was bathing in an inflatable pool. She had a country themed swimsuit like the others. Capitao was smoking cigars and bouncing around a soccer ball.

The Canadians were going around saying sorry. However, Buck was wearing hockey gear, and Tina was wearing her national color themed swimsuit with the Canadian flag as her cape. They both were chugging maple syrup.

The Spanish were playing soccer with the Brazilians. Mira had her swimsuit, and Jackal surprisingly only had a swimming underwear. They were blaring a history documentary on Christopher Columbus.

IQ had left my side to join the Germans. Bandit was high on drugs. Jager was sitting in a WWII mini Tiger tank. Blitz was dressed as a garden gnome. IQ posed which had the the males gawking at. She and Ela were competing for attention for some reason.

Finally, there was the main attraction for today. America vs Russia. The two opposing tables were the largest out of all of others.

On the American team...

There was Thatcher cooking up what seems to be a homemade nuke. Pulse was acting like John McClaine from Die Hard. Castle was building the wall. Blackbeard had cooked up every American dish possible. Most of it was bacon. Valkyrie and Ash had America themed swimsuits and were playing football. Phantom seemed to be suffocating under a pile of guns.

On the Russian team...

Glaz was painting a picture of Putin. Fuze was sitting on an atomic bomb shell and chugged vodka. Kapkan was dressed in Addidas track pants and jacket. He was doing the Slav squat and had a stereo blaring the music to accompany it. Finka was wearing a swimsuit and carried an AKM. Tachanka was riding a bear without a shirt. He weilded a bottle of vodka and DP-28. There seemed to be the USSR anthem playing just from his presence.

Suddenly, Russia and America began to clash.

Thatcher:"We have better nukes!"

Fuze:"We have more nukes!"

Pulse:"Better healthcare!"

Kapkan:"The only cancer we have is liver cancer!"

Castle:"Fried chicken!"

Glaz:"Vodka!"

Phantom:"Guns!"

Tachanka:"The lord!"

Valkyrie:"White House!"

Finka:"Kremlin!"

Ash:"Playboy!"

Kapkan:"Completely unrestricted adult entertainment."

Blackbeard:"CIA!"

Glaz:"KGB!"

Americans:" 'Merica! Fuck yeah!!!"

Russians:"For the motherland!!!"

Both sides were raring for a fight. I decided this was enough chaos over a holiday for one country. So I decided to step in.

"Everyone calm down!" I yelled over the noise. They all stopped their music and their activities for a second. I took a deep breath before speaking.

"Why can't we all just respect each others' nationality? This is Team Rainbow. An elite group comprised of operators from all sorts of countries. We should be celebrating our unity and peace." I explained to everyone. They all gave me weird looks.

Thatcher:"He's starting to sound like the fookin UN."

Buck:"I'm Canadian, even I won't go down to that level of peacefulness."

Fuze:"If there is peace, that means we'll be unemployed."

Everyone:"Shut it, Shurat! There will never be peace if you keep on terminating the hostage!!!" They shouted in unison.

Fuze:"If hostage is dead, no need to rescue." He protested. However, this was met with more chaos than before. I just sighed and smiled at the sight. Even though we may have our differences on Team Rainbow, we all can agree on one thing.

This was the best independence day celebration.

A/n: Just a small short for you all.

Let me know what you all think.
