"So where to today, Taiwan?"

Belgium was leaning against her car while she tapped her fingers on her iPod. The dirty blonde was softly chuckling at the brunette who was yelling at her handheld device.

"Hmm since we're single and madly in love let's watch hopelessly cheesy romance movies!" Taiwan replied without looking up from her Pokemon game on her DS lite.

"AHAHAH. that's a good idea. Let's head out to blockbuster."

Belgium slipped her iPod in her back pocket, while she adjusted her green ribbon with the other hand.

"No no no, too expensive, we go to redbox!"

Taiwan still hadn't looked away from her game but was somehow able to fix her duffle and her hair.

"Haha for sure you cheapo."

Belgium patted the head of her best friend smirking as she started her BMW.

"I can already sense that this is going to be the best S. A. D."

Taiwan was gleefully fingerprinting her friends new car, making sure that she didn't leave a single spot unscathed.

"SAD?"

Belgium looked at the Asian from the corner of her eye as she turned into the parking lot of the closest Albertson's.

"Single awareness day, dummy. It's what we losers celebrate instead of Valentines Day."

Taiwan wore a smile but her voice dropped as to why she was a loser in the first place. "He's never going to like me..."

Belgium parked at stared at Taiwan thoughtfully.

"It's okay, I'm getting nowhere with Spain. We can be losers together." Her lips curled into a smile as she left the car with her friend and headed towards the mysterious red box.

xXx

Taiwan stared at the magical red box with a blank expression.

"No." she scoffed. "There's no good movies out. NONE. All gone. Can you believe this?"

She turned to her blonde friend for a moment before diverting her attention back to the game and cursing. "Shiz! This gym leader is tough as heck! No, Empoleon, don't die! Crap! Okay, Luxray! Poké-Pokémon!"

Belgium sent her friend a slightly concerned look and looked back at the selection of movies.

"You're right," she sighed. "There's nothing decent out right now. Well... Hey, Tai? Uh... Tai...?"

The brunette had carefully balanced her DS on her head as she rolled up the sleeves of her crisp blue-and-black checkered shirt. She looked over at Belgium with a quizzical stare, a few bobby pins sticking out of her pursed lips.

"Mmhmmm?"

The blondie stifled a laugh as she continued on. "H-ha.. Why don't you like... come over to my house? We can play video games and talk... about, y'know, Japann." She winked.

Taiwan blushed and finished up her new hairstyle - a hassle-free bun. She retrieved her precious jet black DS and maroon kipling bag as she nodded.

"Hah, sure. Why not? Intense gaming and talking about them hotties? I'm up for it." she grinned.

"I knew you wouldn't decline. But here go to the car while I grab a couple of goodies from albertsons. DONT FREAKING SCRATCH MY CAR." Belgium cautiously eyed a giggling Taiwan as she handed her technologically advanced key.

"Hahah okay Belgie. But why are you so obsessed with your car sheesh it's Germany's creation isn't it?"

"It's a friggen sexy car okay. Now go shoo shoo try defeating uh that gym whatever." Belgium quickly ran into the store before her friend could start mouthing her off about her pokémon failures.

She grazed her hand over the enormous shelves of candy before settling on two bars of Hershey's cookies 'n' cream and a bag of skittles. "Hershey's is nothing compared to my chocolate but it's a close second I'll have to admit."

Belgium was talking to herself in line when she saw her crush. With taiwans crush.

"S-Spain? What are you d-doing here?" She suddenly gained a speech impediment that doesn't usually exist and tried to cover up her blushing face with curtains of her hair.

"Well I'm helping Japan choose a perfect bouquet of flowers for his 'valentine'."

Spain pointed his thumb behind him to Japan who was leafing through a pokemon guide rather than choosing flowers for his so called beloved.

"Japan likes someone! Since when!" Belgium's heart sank, although she hid it pretty well with her ecstasy. Taiwan... Did she know about this..?

"Oh for a long time now... But I'm going to make my move today." Japan nervously gulped as he softly murmured his reply to the roses rather than the other nations.

"Yeah and so do I... It's our deal. All the male countries have to ask the people they like out or they'll have to face the wrath of England's cooking." Spain wasn't facing Belgium anymore but she was pretty sure she could spot a reddish tinge on Spain's cheek.

"I'm still going to try even though I'm pretty sure the person I like doesn't like me." Japan had suddenly appeared next to Belgium holding an arrangement of red, pink, and white roses.

"Japan who DO you like..?" Belgium was suddenly curious, even though she felt shameful and guilty for asking him without her friend's permission.

"Oh he likes Taiwan!" Spain was carrying a box of chocolates in a heart shaped box. Belgium couldn't believe her ears.

"YOU LIKE TAIWAN!"

"SPAIN YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO TELL ANYONE." Japan's timid and shy voice had suddenly boomed in the empty and echoey super market.

"Oh hehehe sorry Japan, but Belgie won't tell anyone right?" He placed a finger on her lips, warning her to keep quiet. Belgium almost melted from the contact of her love. She didn't notice it, but so Spain had blushed a little too.

"I w-won't"

She fled from the grocery store and stomped into her car. She slammed the door shut and slouched into her seat.

"What took you so long. I had to start eating stuff from the glove compartment cause I was so hungry y'know?" Taiwan wasnt playing her DS now but rather doodling in a notebook she was quite fond of.

Belgium facepalmed herself as she started the car once again. The day wasn't even half over and she was already overwhelmed.

Taiwan likes a guy who likes her back but both of them are clueless and oblivious to the fact that they practically are already a couple that is madly in love with each other.

Plus she couldn't help but thinking who that box of chocolates that Spain was carrying. And why he was blushing. Who was the lucky person that held his heart?

"Ugh too much for a young nation. Too much."

She quickly maneuvered to her elaborate house, going over the speed limit in her rush to arrive home and feel relaxed again.

"We're here!" Belgium exclaimed as she finally pulled up to the rough gravel driveway.

Without looking up from the current item that was placed in her hands, Taiwan slung her bag over her shoulder and walked around the car, unlocking the door and walking into the familiar house with skill.

Well, almost familiar.

There was a muffled thump as the brunette tripped, quickly righting herself up in a backflip as she cast her belongings on the posh couch with a well-aimed throw.

"When did you put this stool here?" Taiwan coughed as glared at the blonde. Belgium shrugged sheepishly and the innocent but strangely ninja-island grinned.

"To your room?" she asked.

"Yup," Belgium said, and they linked arms, marching upstairs to start the truth-fest.

xXx

Nothing much really happened for the first ten minutes.

Belgie was biting her lip so hard that she swore that it was about to bleed, but she played a computer game to distract herself from blurting out the secret as Taiwan doodled furiously in her sketchbook.

A few seconds passed, and the fair-haired nation paused for a moment out of curiosity and leaned over to look at what the brunette was so engrossed in drawing. She gasped and chuckled.

"Is that JAPAN?" Belgium grinned, pointing at the calm eyes, semi-short parted hair, and half-smirk-half-smile that adorned this particular manga character. They were all clear traits of Japan.

Taiwan flushed. "Eh... eh...! Uhm," she snapped her sketchbook closed in defeat and sighed. "Gah. Shut up."

Belgium grinned in triumph.

"But you know what?" she smirked, "I pwn you."

"What?" the bewildered island stared at her friend. "You do NOT."

"Yes. This video game pwns you."

"No. This sketchbook pwns you."

"This hairband pwns you."

"This flower pwns you."

"This sweater pwns you. It's OVERSIZED. Beat that."

"Uh-uh, this shirt has two colors. Pwned."

The two best friends laughed hysterically as they rolled back and forth on Belgium's huge bed, shouting to each other that their items were far more extravagant than the other's.

"This glow in the dark watch pwns you. Oh yeah."

Taiwan gritted her teeth, thinking quickly. She didn't quite have anything to match up with Belgium's cool watch, and the DS and Pokémon card had already been played. Finally, she opened up her neat sketchbook and began rifling through the pages.

Belgium arched an eyebrow, waiting patiently for her friend's comeback.

The brunette finally opened to a page triumphantly. She grinned.

"Oh yes. Spain pwns you."

Sure enough, Taiwan had doodled a quick sketch of a chibi Spain holding a tomato. Belgium flushed and facepalmed herself.

"Screw you. You win."
