Disclaimer: i own no shite that is on this story...except the plot

Shite was happening these days. Big shite. Belarus was being neutral. She wasn't even bothering Russia, which made him both happy, confused and concerned. England was sulking all day. He would refuse to see anybody except his hallucination friends.

And now America was worrying his little head on how to help his brother.

Yeah... He still considered him as his Big Brother. After all,Arthur was the one to raise him up to his nowadays stature.

And it simply killed him to see England all sad and lonely. Old Man France was concerned, too.

"An obedient England is not England!" he said.

Shit...shit...shit. He hated going to Russia. Oh well, for the sake of England.

Russia told him that Belarus was sad for a while. Russia told him that Belarus was less clingy for the past few months. Russia told him that Belarus was obsessing over another.

Day Six

Taiwan could care less about the bet. She already learned a few nice dishes. And making a combo with her food those japanese dishes would make sure she would win the bet. But then again...

Without Japan, it seemed like her house was a bit too much missed Pocchi, too.

Maybe just a visit to his house? Yeah, it would not do any bad,since she would be only visiting Pocchi...

Who was she kidding!? She missed Japan and that was the it, she missed him badly. But then she felt guilty for not returning Korea's feelings...

Okay, she have had enough of this. Whoever came to her first,that one would be her knight in shining armor. Even though she prayed to her guiding lights that the knight would be a certain japanese old man.

"Faster!" Germany yelled. Japan kept running while adding more speed. He needed this. He needed the distraction. He needed to take his mind off of Taiwan. She was giving him enough pain.

"Italy, i said 'Faster'!" Germany yelled again.

Japan added more speed to his run. He wanted to train like it was his last chance to do it.

Germany, of course, noticed Japan pushing himself extra instead of feeling proud, he felt concerned.

It wasn't usual for Japan to be so willing to put pressure in his training. Japan usually complained about his rusty bones hurting more or less. Maybe he was planning an attack on Russia for that island?

"Jap-" the country went on to do those ninja trainings. He went on and started striking a big dummy.

Japan is angry...

Taiwan went to her room. Everything was a mess. Her wardrobe wasn't neat enough. So she decided to clean it. It usually helped her. But this time, no matter how many things she cleaned, shestill felt all messed up inside.

These times, Taiwan liked to play with China's panda. But she certainly could not do that now of all times, could she?

"What?! Belarus went on a trip to hell knows where!?" America yelled.

"I-I'm sorry America. But what is your business with Belarus?"

"Nothing of your concerns, dude," he replied to Lithuania.

Knock Knock

"Who is it?" England asked.

The knocking still went on. Man, did England hate it when there was somebody knocking on your door and wouldn't stop it.

"Bollocks, i'm coming!"

It wasn't that he refused to see anybody. It was just that they didn't dare to bother him in his pissed mood. After all, England used to rule the half of the world. He guessed he still had some kind of control over them... Or maybe it was just that they did not wish to bother him.

He opened the door to only find a blonde country with a bow on her head.

"Belarus..."

Who knew that France would finally find someone who actually didn't hit him, when he hugged her. France finally found his love...

"Mon chérie, why so sad?" he asked.

"I just remembered i forgot to make tea for us," Vietnm answered.

He chuckled at that. She was so cute sometimes.

Indeed, he loved her.

Japan was trying hard to catch his breath. He was getting out of shape pretty fast. Just a few hundred laps and some simple fighting stances and he was tired. Damn, he was getting old!

Shite, he still missed her.

Korea already knew he had zero chance with her. So why bluff it?He was going to make sure Taiwan was happy. And she was happy around Japan. Korea would be happy as long as Taiwan would be.

"Go to her."

"Why won't you go to her?" Japan asked.

"We both know she doesn't feel the same way for me. I want her to be happy. So go. Tell her how you feel."

After hesitating for a moment or two, Japan got up to his feet.

Maybe non of them cared for her. Maybe they both knew she was bluffing her sleeping form, so they decided to play a trick on she was still a child. Maybe this whole thing was a mistake. May-

Somebody was knocking on her door.

It was Japan.

"Belarus..."

"England." she nodded back. "You have a lot of... residents with you," she pointed at the pixies.

England wasnt that shocked that she could see them. He already knew that little fact. It was one of the many reasons he loved wouldn't be frraking out every moment he talked to his friends.

"They keep me company when i'm lonely!" he hugged his bunny.

Belarus rolled her eyes at that. The residents here were so...sweet that in her coubty or in her brother's place.

"Is it true that you love me?"

England blushed..."...yes."

They kissed.

"What happened?" Taiwan asked.

"I... May i come in?" Japan asked.

MeiMei let him.

"So, i am not the type to write a whole poem for love, so i will just come clean. I love you, Taiwan. I know that this is foolish. Iknow that falli-"

"I love you, too!"

Their heart was racing as Taiwan hugged him.

Damn Italy for stealing my first, Japan thought.

Day Six - time for confessions.

Day Seven - happily ever after

So it was finally the day for the show down. Taiwan and Japan were in China's kitchen wearing their aprons.

"You know what to do," Kiku smiled at her.

MeiMei nodded in return and flashed a smile of her own. It wasfull of happiness, contenment and relief. It almost made Kiku melt.

They got their ingredients and chopped them in bite sizes. Added some sake and everything else.

"Woa! Taiwan, your cooking really progressed, aru!" China exclaimed, seeing the serious look on Taiwan's face.

Youngsters these days, Yao Wang thought.

After adding the water and tasting if the potatoes were fully cooked, MeiMei smiled to herself. She got a hell lot better.

"I'm done! Now eat!" the country jumped in enthusiasm.

China tried to calm the girl down and he failed to realize that Japan went to open the door.

"Hello China," England greeted. "I heard that Japan was here so i came here for him...not you."

At that Kiku looked questioningly at his friend.

"Ah hell! Every one, i'm honored to present you my girlfriend,Belarus."

Said country stepped into the room and looked shyly at the was surprising at how cute Natalia seemed to be so modest, but they all knew better.

"Taiwan, I hope you understand why i persuaded you for this, aru.I just wanted you to understand how much talent you had in the art of cooking, aru. And to top that, you finally got to get together with Japan, aru. I really hope you get that no matter how old the person, country is, they have a great deal of wisdom in themselves, aru."

Suddenly the room seemed colder, darker. At first they asuumed it was Belarus, but seeing her make peaceful small talks with England, it certainly was not her.

"Become one with me, da?"

A/N: hahah i just had to use Russia there. I can not believe the story is actually over... I have had a lot of fun writing it... Oh well, all good things must come to an end, eh? I really hope you all enjoyed it. And if you want more TaiPan then go check my "Birthday Disaster". Please review and good bye! For now that is.

~Love,
