A/N: Konichiwa! –Bows repeadtly- I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! This one has taken me forever to do and well my homework has been piling on so I really hope I made up for it in this one!

This one has been the long awaited panda costume! So enjoy~

Disclaimer: They hurt the chibi's….do you really want me to go get one?


Chibi Japan held on tightly to his elder brother's hand. He didn't really like going to the Chinese marketplace. There was too many people, it was far too loud for his liking, people were trying to get him and china to buy things they didn't need, and most importantly;

They were popping his mental space bubble.

The little nation pouted, but otherwise held a fairly well poker face. China looked down when he felt his younger brother's hand tighten his grip as a man on a bicycle rushed past, almost running little Japan over. His face showed pure concern for the little nation, but his eyes betrayed him. His light brown eyes sparkled in amusement as he realized how much Japan would be hating this. Be popping his….his…

'What had he called it aru? Shi! His mental space bubble~'

Of course China understood how the younger nation felt; he sometimes hates how crowded the marketplace got. But whatever it takes to get a good deal right?

Then he felt a tug on his sleeve. "Nii-san?"

China looked down, pulled out from his thoughts. He had been thinking about how he would be able to bargain for a good price on white rice, more silk for his jackets, and clothing for the other little nations he took care of. Because maintaining all of the chibi Asian nations didn't come cheap.

"Shi, aru? What's wrong Nihon?"

Chibi Japan pouted, giving China a pleading look. Looking both mentally and physically tired. "Are we able to go back home Nii-san? I am reary tired."

The Chinese nation silently counted to five. Right now wasn't the time to start fan boying out. Besides, all his people would think of him strangely or believe he is a pedo and that would not go very well with his boss…

"Shi, aru. We are almost done. Just a little bit longer and-" The older nation stopped mid-sentence when he saw the most adorablest thing EVER.

Chibi Japan, still pouting frowned. " And what Nii-san?"

The chibi nation soon got his answer as his older brother began to pull him over towards a stall that sold costumes. A young Chinese woman bowed, greeting them, as they walked up the front.

"Nihao! My name is Ying. How may I help you?"

China bowed in return and looked down at his younger brother with a stern gaze making sure Japan did the same.

"Nihao!" They coursed together. This was the cutest thing that Ying has seen all day and tried to hold back her squeals, because squealing at your costumers don't really help your business. China looked over Ying's shoulder and pointed the cutest and most adorablest costume he had ever seen. It was a panda costume.

Ying smiled, a mischievous glint shined in her eyes as she brought the costume off its rack and showed it to her nation.

"This one has been our best seller for a while now! I'm very pleased to be able to sell it to my nation and his little brother." She smiled looking down at him. "Japan right?"

Chibi Japan hid behind his older brother, only showing his head slightly. He nodded, suddenly shy. "H-hoi…I am Japan."

Ying was now grinning from ear to ear. She couldn't help herself, and although she knew her boss was going to get mad at her….she couldn't resist it. Leaning slightly over the counter, she lowered her voice handing the costume over to her nation.

"Think of this as a New Year's gift China~ I just ask that you return to show me pictures, assuming it's for this adorable little Dà xióngmāo yòu zǎi! (1)"

China bowed once again, smiling. "Xièxiè Ying! (2) I will make sure to do so!"

As soon as they got home, China grabbed the carefully wrapped costume and sent his younger sibling to go and change as he ran to get a camera. Chibi Japan didn't protest and passively agree because although he seemed young, his mind was at the level as a teenagers and he intended to blackmail.

As he waddled back, China only needed one glance before completely flipping out in a total fan boy moment. Chibi Japan pouted, hiding behind the sofa not letting China take a picture of him.

"Aiyah! Let me take a picture, aru! I promised Ying!"

Chibi Japan nodded becoming stubborn. "Onry if I get more time to pray my video games and get more deserts than the other Nii-san~"

China narrowed his eyes but sighed giving in since he knew Japan wasn't going to give. "Aiyah! Fine! Nǐ zhège xiǎo qiāozhà zhě... (3)"

Japan happily gave in nodding and let his Nii-san take pictures. Later he made sure to cash in…..


Two weeks later~

Ying opened up the costume stall. Her head still hurt from the scolding she had received from her boss at giving away one of the best selling costumes. It turned out, that that was the last of the weeks and had been set apart for a very loyal costumer Ms. Elizabeta.

Now Ying didn't even know if that for sure had been her nation and Japan!

She sulked and went through the pile of mail, as she did every morning. She blinked as she found a letter addressed to her. Looking around her cautiously, Ying made sure that she was completely alone before opening it.


Dear Ying,

Me and Japan would very much like to thank you and your generous heart. I, aru, understand that your boss might have scolded you, and I intend to rob no-one. So please take the money that is enclosed and keep the change, aru. As promised, the pictures are also enclosed in the envelope. I also hope that your boss will like to hang this on the wall to the shop like the westerners do, so I took enough for your boss too along with our signatures.

Sincerely,

Wang Yao and Honda Kiku

(China and Japan)


Ying's eyes widened as she read over the letter and quickly reached into the envelope pulling out the promised money. She gasped as she counted over the money. It covered the price of the costume and there was still left over to buy and order at least 20 more!

Giddy with excitement, she opened the envelope further and found the picture for her, and the ones promised that were signed by both nations. And is if her nation wasn't generous enough, there was a signed one for her to keep too!

The young Chinese woman began to squeal in delight. Her boss couldn't be mad at her now could she?! She grinned, hugging the pictures close. She knew they were going to be adorable, and they proved so. Now she HAD to go show her boss!

Chibi Japan sat by the table as he finished his breakfast. "Nii-san? Do you think Ying riked it?"

China chuckled as he continued washing his own dishes. "I'm pretty sure she did Nihon~"
