Hi~! I'm writing this straight after I uploaded the first chapter (at 00:20am...), so I haven't got any reviews yet~ Plus, my grandma's laptop ran out as soon as I uploaded that, so I can't check... To upload these chapters, I have to Bluetooth them to her laptop, after transferring them from my laptop to my phone... It's kinda weird, but you probably don't care anyway~

Ooh, what's going to happen in these entries~? Read on to find out~!

One more thing; If you're wondering why Belarus doesn't write 'Dear Diary', and just writes 'Diary'... Does she look like the kind of person who would say 'dear' about anyone else apart from her brother?

Diary,

As I wrote that I would yesterday, I went shopping to buy big sister Ukraine a birthday present today. Lithuania noticed that I was about to leave, and asked if he could come with me, claiming that he also needed to buy Ukraine a present.

"No, you don't," I glared up at him as I tied the laces on my boots, "You bought her a present yesterday. You even showed it to me."

"O-oh yes, I-I forgot..." he stuttered, turning red with embarrassment, "C-can I c-come with you a-anyway?"

I don't know why, but Lithuania really gets on my nerves. Perhaps it's because he's so close to big brother Russia. He always irritates me so much, so you can't really blame me for what I did next.

"Oww! Why did you kick me there?" he gasped in pain, sinking down on the floor and protecting his vital regions from further harm.

"You're not coming with me." I replied simply, with a glare to let him know that I was 100% serious. One day, I'd like to think that he'll get the message and leave me alone, but that probably won't be any time soon. Leaving him curled up on the floor, I left the house. It occurred to me that Estonia wasn't sitting at the table with his laptop, but I just assumed that he was still asleep... Why do I even care?

Apart from a new bra (Yes, I was being serious when I wrote that down. She could really do with a decent one...), I didn't really know what to get Ukraine. I thought just wandering aimlessly around the shopping centre would help, and guess who I ran into?

"Oh, Belarus! Are you looking for a present for Ukraine too?" Estonia asked, from behind me. So that was why I didn't see him this morning. He'd already left. I would have ignored him and continued walking, but something inside was telling me to stop and talk to him. How cheesy...

"Yes, but I can't think of anything decent..." I admitted. I don't even know why I was being so honest with him, when I could have just as easily lied and told him that I knew exactly what I was looking for.

"Well, would you like to walk around with me?" He offered, smiling, "I'm not sure what to buy her either. We can help each other!" I was surprised; I wonder if he'd have still made that offer if he'd known what I did to Lithuania for making a similar offer this morning? As he waited for my reply, he nervously adjusted his glasses. Since he usually avoids big brother Russia, I don't really have any reason to hate him. He even helps him with his work...

"...Okay."

It wasn't too bad walking around with him, actually. He paid for lunch for the two of us as well, even though I said I could pay for my lunch myself. In the end, he chose a dark blue headband, and some matching hairslides for Ukraine. He also bought a fluffy white scarf, although he wouldn't tell me why. All he said was, "This is for another special person!" Even with Estonia's help, I couldn't find a suitable present for big sister, so I had to resort to buying her a bra.

"You can wait outside if you want," I told Estonia, surprised that he was still following me. I was standing outside a really girly underwear shop, the kind that no man would be seen dead in. Well, apart from perverts, like that creepy France.

"Why, do you think I'm going to be embarrassed by being in a shop like this?" He teased, laughing when I nodded, "It doesn't bother me! We said we'd help each other, anyway!" He had a point, but it still surprised me. Though he said that, he didn't touch the bras; he just commented on the ones I picked out, saying whether he thought Ukraine would like them or not, and suggesting other colours. It was a good thing they had such big sizes. I don't understand how big sister has such huge breasts, when mine are nowhere near as big...

"Why didn't you just order something from the internet?" I asked Estonia as we were walking home. He insisted on carrying all of the bags, including the stuff that I'd bought. I ended up buying more than one bra in the end, to make up for not being able to find anything else. Just so you know, I only let him walk back with me because we live in the same house. It certainly wasn't because that voice/thing/whatever it was was telling me to...

"Your brother's been giving me a lot of work over the past few weeks, and I wanted a break," he answered, smiling again. Does he smile like that all the time? Even when he talks about how much work he has? "And, it's nice to get out of the house every so often!" Of course, I knew that he didn't spend every waking moment typing away on his laptop, but the idea of Estonia choosing something else over his beloved laptop surprised me a bit. Maybe I'll talk to him more often from now on...

Latvia just came into my room (Just as I was about to go to sleep... Doesn't he have a clock...?), asking if the birthday present he got for Ukraine is okay. It's quite nice, I guess. He got her a gold bracelet, adorned with sparkling peridots. I gave a faint smile, knowing why he'd chosen that particular gem; peridots are the birthstone of August. I told him she'd like it (that was a lie; she'll love it. Even though big sister is a farmer, she still loves nice jewellery.), and he went back to his room, finally letting me go to sleep.


21st August

Diary,

Now that I've got big sister a present, I can go back to keeping an eye on big brother Russia. I hope I didn't miss anything yesterday, but there was no way of finding out, sadly. Apart from asking him.

"Brother, you didn't do anything with America while I was out yesterday, did you?"

"N-no, all we did was talk about business and stuff!" He replied, smiling. Even though I always trust him, this time I wasn't so sure... There was a guilty glint in his eye; I think he's lying to me. But I knew that I wasn't going to get anything else out of him, so I let him leave.

After putting my box of lunch in a hollow next to the tree branch I always sit on, I pulled my binoculars out and prepared to keep an eye on (It's not spying! I'm just making sure he's not secretly getting married to someone that isn't me!) big brother. I was concentrating so much, I didn't even notice that there was someone next to me... Guess who? Yeah, it was him again.

"Belarus, is this a hobby of yours?" Estonia said from next to me. Since it doesn't seem like big brother will want to read this, I'll be honest; He surprised me so much, I almost fell out of the tree... I probably would have done if Estonia hadn't put an arm around my waist to steady me, pulling me towards him.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you jump!"

"...What are you doing up here?" Well, it was a valid question; he didn't need to look so surprised. He just came up here, unannounced, and saved me from falling out of a tree... He still hasn't let go of me, either. I'm only letting him because I don't want to fall off this branch!

"W-well, I was just passing by, and I saw this stuck to the tree..." He said, pulling a cream ribbon out of his jacket pocket. I didn't even notice that it was missing! Big brother gave me that ribbon when we were younger... He would have been upset if I lost it...

"Thanks..." I accepted my ribbon back from him, with a small smile. But I couldn't see any way of tying it back in my hair without me losing balance...

"Here, let me do it." He offered, as if he could read my mind. And with him leaning back against the trunk of the tree, and me leaning against him (I only put my arms around him so I wouldn't fall off!), he took the ribbon out of my hands and tied it in the usual bow, on top of my head.

"There!" he announced, sitting up to admire his work. I had to admit, he did a good job; he tied it perfectly even, which I struggle to do when I tie it myself.

After we sat back were we were before (I told him he didn't have to keep his arm around me any more, and he removed it, apologizing. I'm sure I saw a flicker of sadness on his face when I said that, but I probably imagined it...), I told him why I was in the tree. Even knowing that, he offered to stay and keep me company. I didn't see what harm it would do, so I let him stay. After a while, they closed the curtains, so we couldn't see what was happening any more, and we had to go back home. But now I'm getting really suspicious; what could they be doing in there that they have to close the curtains for?

Not much else happened tonight; when we got back, Estonia just got his laptop out and filled out more of those forms for brother, and I went upstairs to wrap sister's present. Latvia's probably in his room, and I think I remember Lithuania saying that he was going over to Poland's house. That Poland is irritating, but at least it means Lithuania won't bother me for a while!
