Hey guys! I'm doing exams and such… Oh! Sorry for the long update… I hate finals. Well, enjoy then!

Hong Kong was seriously annoyed. His mind flashed back to around 10 minutes previous.

Flashback

"Guys! We have gathered you all here today to have a grocery race! Since we are all Asian, and we don't understand English well, this will be a challenge. Your list will have pictures." South Korea shouted in Chinese. Every Asian nation knew Mandarin.

Flashback End

Teams

Red: Japan, Taiwan, and China

Blue: Vietnam, South Korea, and Hong Kong

South Korea had sent Hong Kong to get bok choi, and Asian vegetable. He couldn't read any of the large signs so he lazily and aimlessly walked around.

"HEY, WATCH OUT!" A tall girl was riding a grocery cart down the aisle with immense speed.

"Hey, can you understand me?" Hong Kong asked, in Cantonese.

"Oh! Yeah, I can speak Canto." The girl replied back.

"Lei shurn mai bok choi? (You want to buy bok choi?)" She asked, looking at the list, and skipped down the aisle.

(A/N: Screw it. I know Canto, and made the sounds easier to say, but whatever. I'm writing in English XD In fact, Canto is my second language, English being third… But whatever. Yes, if you DO speak Canto, they don't have the right sounds… But whatever. So sorry!)

"Yes. Please." Hong Kong thanked her, and she helped him get other things.

South Korea had the same problem as Hong Kong. Who what type of language was this? How was anyone supposed to understand this gibberish?

He then came upon one girl and two boys.

"What should we get?" the girl asked in what South Korea vaguely recognized as Vietnamese. Why was Viet not here? They were in the same team! Oh right… They split up!

Both of the boys seemed to understand her, but none of them seemed to actually know how to speak Vietnamese.

"Um, can we help you? Never mind, just get out of the way!" one of the boys talked in Korean. Yes! Saved!

"Please help me, I'm Korean too! I'm on this race to get the food the fastest; I have to beat my boyfriend, Xiao! Please help me!" South Korea referred to Hong Kong… Who wasn't ACTUALLY his boyfriend, but it didn't matter.

The Korean boy held the other boy's hand, smiling. They were such a cute couple, Korea could tell.

"Should we help him?" The Korean boy asked.

"Yeah, we should! Come on, please, Kyu?" The last boy said in fluent English.

"…Fine." 'Kyu' sighed.

"Yes! Okay… tell…" Korea trailed off, pointing at the white boy.

"Noah." Kyu said.

"Tell Noah to tell the lady at the front counter to tell me where the ice cream is." Korea pleaded.

"Don't worry, I already can understand what you are saying." Noah smiled.

Korea finished faster with the help of the three, rushing the whole way.

"Viet!" Vietnam sighed as she saw Korea run for her, and Hong Kong slowly making his way over.

"What do you have?" Korea asked, flailing his arms wildly.

"I have the meat, Hong has the vegetables, and you have the desserts… We're done!" Vietnam exclaimed.

"Yes!" Korea shouted, "Wait… Where is the check out area?"

"Helen?!" Hong Kong called out for the girl from before.

"Noah, Kyu! Where are y'all?" Korea shouted.

They had left. Now Korea made them run around in a crazed frenzy, trying to find the check-out area.

"Ai ya! They were right, splitting up was a better idea, aru!" China sighed.

"Oh, we still need ice cream, we have vegetables and meat." Taiwan calmed her older brother.

"They are probably done by now!" China sighed, "I raised them so well! Why? Hong probably led them to victory. That or Viet. I have my doubts on Im Yong Soo… That boy!" China sighed.

"Ma'am. Could we have ice… ice sclean?" Japan stuttered.

"Um, what?" The lady looked annoyed.

"Yao, come and…" Japan looked for his older brother, who had run off to 'ninja' the other team.

"YAO!" Taiwan and Japan frantically called for thirty minutes, running around the large market, trying to find said person.

They raced down slippery halls, bumping into a few people before hastily saying 'excuse me.'

They checked almost every aisle, running straight past the medicine aisle. Taiwan, however, stopped when she thought she saw her brother.

"Kiku! Over here!" Taiwan said, waving her arms, and getting her brother.

"Nii-san! Stop checking the American medicine!" Taiwan and Japan sighed together.

"It's so weird! No herbs, just pills…" China looked really confused, "They don't even use aromatherapy!" (Aromatherapy is curing a patient with smelling a certain smell.)

"Just come with us! They lady can't understand us, you speak English best." Japan dragged his brother over.

"Ice cream please." China sighed, and the lady hurried to get the ice cream.

Just then, the other team arrived, when the lady finished getting the ice cream. They started rapidly putting down items.

"Faster!" They all shouted in their own language. Korea, Korean. Hong Kong, Cantonese. China, Mandarin. Taiwan, Taiwanese. Vietnam, Vietnamese.

When the Asian countries were panicked, they would shout in their languages, and they scared the cashiers. They couldn't even understand.

"They have five items left!" Korea shouted.

"We have the same amount!" Vietnam sighed, raising her eyebrow at her panicked brother. She didn't even care, but Korea made her have "team spirit."

The cashiers were scanning the last two items, and time seemed just to freeze right there.

"We totally won!" Korea fist-pumped the air.

"Usually I wouldn't care about such petty things, but I couldn't lose to Korea." China huffed, shaking his head.

To be honest, none of the countries were sure who won. It had been so close! But the both refused to admit defeat.

A filler I HAD to write. Ah… So amusing. I know they understand English better, and they will at school, but it was more fun this way, ja? Who did you think won? Put it in your review, I would like to know.

Please review~!

Thanks so much, and have a nice winter break, or whatever you are on. Nice Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate, just have a nice day!
