The next morning, Piri didn't realize that she slept on her study table. When she woke up she looked at the time and it was 8:30.
"Naku! I think I overslept." She said as she got up and went to the bathroom. When she's finished she got dressed up, she then ate her breakfast and leave. She looked at her watch and it was 8: 40.
I hope, I'm not late… She thought. When she arrived at the park, she saw Japan sitting on a bench.
It's Japan! Am I late?... She thought and approached Japan.
"Hi Japan. How long have you been waiting for me?" Piri asked.
"Just a few minutes." Japan said and he looked at the time. "And you're always right on time."
"I've always try my best not be late or anything." Piri said smiling.
"So, have you made the song?" Japan asked.
"Eh? How did you know that I'm making the song." Piri said in a surprised tone.
"Uhmmm… Apparently, Taiwan said that yesterday. She went to my house and told me that if you need some lyrics I'll help you." Japan said blushing.
Piri giggled and said…
"That Taiwan, always with a surprise."
"So, the song?" Japan asked curiously.
"Oh yeah! I've made the beginning." Piri said…
"Wanna hear it?" Piri said, giving a blush.
She's blushing? He thought…
"Hai! I'd love to hear it." He said.
"Okay then…. Here goes…"
Piri said as breathe in and started to sing. After a few minutes she stopped.
"So, whatcha' think?" Piri asked.
"It's… It's beautiful, I can't wait to hear the full song." Japan said.
"It's actually a song, dedicated to someone special." Piri said giving a sight blush.
"Really? Who?" Japan asked out of curiosity.
"It's a secret, I won't tell." Piri said smiling looking at Japan.
Aah, those sweet smile, I can get used to that sweet smile of your Piri… He thought. Wait, head again stop thinking about that!
"Okay then, I won't bother asking you then." Japan said blushing.
Piri noticed the blush...
"Japan, you're red. Are you blushing?" Piri asked.
"Wha-? Of course not. It's just getting hot here." He said looking the other way.
"Really? If you say so. By the way, i still need to finish the song." Piri said.
Japan looked at the time and he noticed that it's almost 11:00.
"Why don't we finished it on Monday it's almost lunch, and i can't help you tomorrow." Japan said then he got up and bow down.
"I'm really sorry, and I said I'm gonna help you."
"Ja-Japan, that's okay, no need to apologize, I know that you're busy." Piri said surprisingly.
"Really? No hard feelings?" Japan said.
"Nope! I'm just happy to hang out with you, and besides, it's a song for someone so it's like a secret song." Piri said smiling.
"I like your smile." Japan whispered.
"Did you say something, Japan?" Piri asked.
"No-Nothing. I'm just happy to hang out with you as well." Japan said as excuse.
Yay! Japan is happy to hang out with me!... Piri thought.
"Okay see you on Monday then." Piri said.
"See you then." Japan said as he walked the other way.
He looked back and he saw Piri far away.
"My sweet sakura." He added.
-MONDAY-
It's Monday and Maria just finished the song. She got up early, took her bath, change to her school uniform and went to school early.
She went to the bulletin board and saw the contestants...
TALENT SHOW CONTESTANTS
(Notice: The principal agreed to use their country names)
1. America
2. Prussia and Germany
3. England
4. Italy
5. Philippines
So, Prussia did join the contest and... England as well? She thought. Oh well, but I'm not joining to show off my talent... I'm joining because I want to express my feelings for Japan.
She then continued walking and went to the classroom.
"Piri!" Taiwan shouted.
"Hey Taiwan. How are you?" Piri asked.
"I should be the one asking you that. I'm fine, and your song?" Taiwan said.
"It's finished. I'm practicing at home actually. You will hear it during the show." Piri said.
"I can't wait." Taiwan said.
Then the teacher entered the room and everyone became quiet...
