The streets were packed with people from all over. All people looking for something in the big market. I had only one thing in mind. I weaved in and out of the crowd. She was close, I could tell. A flash of yellow caught my eye. Sneaking closer, I closed in on my target. I estimated she was 5 yard away. Just a few more steps and, "Gotcha!" I grabbed the young cheetah cub and held her close. "Tena!" she cried out. I laughed. "Maybe tomorrow Hibib." I told the cub. "Aww ok" I pulled out a piece of meat for her from the pouch on my side. "Chakula!" she said in Swahili. My name is Kenya, and this is my cub Hibib. And yes I'm the country. I'm not to well known to the other countries, so i rarely go to the world meetings. "Nyumbani?" Hibib asked. She only speaks Swahili so I'm the only one who understands her. "Sure we can go home" She crawled into the backpack on my back and I trekked home.
Passing through the edge of the city, I felt a wave of sadness, seeing the people in the streets. My country was going through an epidemic, both of disease and economy. I felt bad for my people. I was devastated for was my closest friend, but I'd didn't want to bother him for help. Maybe I should go to the world meeting and tell them. "Kenya, ni wewe ok?" "Im ok Hibib, just thinking that's all." I'm going to that world meeting tomorrow.
I stared at the oak door in front of the meeting room. "Ok lets do this." I pushed open the doors and walked in. "But Germany im hungry!" "Itary, please calm down!" Three men were sitting at the table, the one in the middle flailing around. "Excuse me?" "Kenyais that you?" Suddenly I was pulled in to a tight hug. "Ciao Bella!" "Italy, get off her." Strong hands pulled me out of the hug. "Kenyawhat are you doing here?"Germanyasked. "I'm here for the world meeting." He got a worried look on his face. The door then burst open. "Yo! Time for this meeting to start!" "Be quietAmerica." That's when they noticed me. "Well now who are you?" "Dude! She's so short!" All this attention made me blush, I was never used to this much. Then I felt someone kiss my hand. "Boujour Madame, Tu es tres belle." At that I blushed like mad. I was then pulled away from all of them. "Leave her alone." I smiled atGermanysprotectfulness. "I-its nice to meet you all. I'mKenya." "Je suis laFrance." "Yo! I'mAmerica! And bushy brows here isEngland!" "Hey!" "Ni hao I'mChina." "Russiada"Germanycoughed. "I think we should get this meeting started." Everyone took a seat leaving the only open one next toFrance. "Great" I muttered. "Come sit by me petite amie, I don't bite… much." He said winking. Sitting next to him I tried to scoot as far away as possible but ran in toRussia. "Privet." He said with a innocent smile. "H-helloRussia." He patted my head. "Your quite small, almost as small as Lativa!" he said smiling. "thanks I think.."
