Russia picked China up from the airport that day. They had been planning to have dinner together for a long while, and China was stressed enough to finally stop postponing it and taking a few days off.

"I could have taken a cab aru!" said China, when Ivan opened the door for him.

"It be no problem," said Russia with a smile.

They drove for a while, with China texting on his phone while he blabbered away and Russia nodded and made vague affirmation sounds.

"I mean it, they want a report without even sending the information for report! Aiya, how dumb they be?" said China. Russia made a vague affirmation noise. China shielded his eyes from a strong light. "Why is it so sunny today aru?" he looked up at a shining beam coming from the sky. "What's that?!"

"I not know" said Russia with a smile and lowered the shades from the roof of the car.

"Russia I think that's a meteor!"

"Yes?"

"Russia that really is a meteor!"

"Ah."

The meteor made an elegant arch overhead and went on to crash a couple of kilometers away.

"It really was meteor," said Russia, smiling. "It kind of tickled."

A/N:

Has anyone seen that video of the russian man driving while the meteor is flying at him? That was awesome. There was a version with Russia's face photoshopped and I thought it was the best.

Mother Russia is best. Let us all become one with it.
