A/N: Well since you guys all loved this so much...I made it into a one-shot series! ^^ WEll i actually looked this up for this chapter and was informed by this wonderful person AR.C Fangirl! Well happy one day late Chinese New Years!

Disclaimer: Still own nothing~

"Hurry up Aniky!"

Chibi Japan jumped up with excitement. This year was his very first Chinese New Year's, and he didn't intend to spend it at home when he could be out on the streets watching everything.

China chuckled amused at chibi Japan's excitement. He remembered his very first new year's festival and smiled. He quickly slipped on his favorite red mandarin jacket and walked over to the door holding smaller version for Japan.

"We will leave and still have plenty of time. Now put on your jacket and shoes unless you want Nian to get you, aru!"

The dark haired boy widened his eyes in horror. China had taught him about Nian. He had explained that Nian would come on the first day of New Year to eat livestock, crops, and even villagers, especially children. To protect themselves, the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year.

It was believed that after the Nian ate the food they prepared, it wouldn't attack any more people. Then the villagers saw that the Nian was scared away by a little child wearing red. They then understood that the Nian was afraid of the color red. Hence, every time when the New Year was about to come, the villagers would hang red lanterns and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used firecrackers to frighten away the Nian. From then on, Nian never came to the village again

Chibi Japan waddled over and held his arms up as China helped him put on his own red jacket. China held out a hand for chibi Japan to hold as they finished locking the house and putting on their matching red slippers.

"Will there reary be dragons nii-san?" Chibi Japan looked up at his big brother with big eyes.

China smiled as he guided the small nation to a hill above the town where he waited every year to celebrate. A place where not many knew about, but gave them a full view of the festivities below.

"Shi, aru. They are very big and colorful~"

Chibi Japan smiled waddling alongside his caretaker happily, but slightly scared of the dragons. Then he noticed that they were headed away from the busy town getting ready for the show later and frantically started pulling on his brother's sleeve.

"Nii-san! Nii-san! The show is down there! Why are we going away?!"

The elder nation blinked and looked down at the anxious boy. He had forgotten that this was his first New Year's and would want to see everything up close.

"Shi, I'm sorry Nihon! I forgot…..Do you want see them up close, aru?"

The boy nodded obviously relived. Then together they walked back down to find an area of sidewalk that they could watch from.

Chibi Japan watched excitedly as he saw the fireworks light up the night sky. He tried desperately to try and catch a glimpse of the dragon that had everyone else cheering for, past everyone else's legs.

The Chinese nation looked down at his charge about to ask him what he thought when he realized that the boy couldn't see anything. He got down to one knee to come face-to-face with him.

"Do you want to sit on my shoulders to see, aru?"

Chibi Japan nodded excitedly, relived that he wouldn't miss the dragons. From his higher perch, he could hear the deafening beats of the drums that started to play. He looked around to see the dragons, and gasped.

A large golden yellow, green, and red colored dragon snaked back and forth through the streets slowly moving towards them. The cheers of the people grew louder as they heard the drums. He could watch the people underneath come to a stop and seem to make the dragon swirl in a waving movement.

"That is called the 'Whirlpool' dance, aru."

Japan blinked forgetting where he was as he watched mesmerized as the people and dragon worked smoothly in time to the beats of the drum. He gave a small nod and continued to watch. He flinched as the head of the dragon came up near his head, opening and closing its grand and colorful mouth.

Chibi Japan hid his face in the elder's nation hair, for once scared. He suddenly wished that he couldn't see anymore. China noticed his charge's sudden change in personality and smiled gently.

"It's alright, aru. They are almost over, the fireworks are about to start."

The Japanese nation nodded, his head still buried in china's hair. He slowly lifted his head as he noticed the beat of the drums become less loud and dared to look up.

The dragon had come to a stop and the people underneath came out to bow, the crowd clapping and cheering.

'It wasn't so bad….Hai…a little scary….but it was pretty' he thought and was brought out of his thoughts as the fireworks boomed into the red-orange sky.

Chibi Japan held onto his brother's hand tightly. His feet shuffling as they walked back slowly to the house, the winding road seemed to never end for the sleepy nation. He grinned as he spotted the house in the distance under the moon's light.

China chuckled. He had never seen his little Japan so tired before, as he helped the little nation get ready for bed. Chibi Japan smiled sleepily, snuggling with the pillow and barley awake to say good-night.

"Good-night Nii-san~"

"Good-night Nihon. Did you enjoy the festival, aru?"

Chibi Japan nodded sleepily, fighting the urge to sleep for a bit longer.

"If arr the festivals are pretty rike this…I think I wirr rike being Chinese Nii-san."

China smiled kissing his Japan's forehead, tucking him in before shutting the door to let the young nation sleep. His eyes shined brightly. His explanation could wait in the morning to tell his brother that he wasn't really Chinese….
