((Random idea. It's weird...my intention was to make a Snapped!Japan oneshot, but then I thought about that episode with Japan and Switzerland and the "YO HO HO TRA LA LA". Then this happened.

Enjoy, anyway.))

Today, Japan and China were in a battle no person had ever seen.

A battle of skill, luck, and cleverness.

A battle that could determine the fate of the universe.

A battle that could settle who gets the TV remote to themselves tonight.

The dreaded...

...Chinese checkers.

"So...feeling lucky, aru?" China asked, his amber eyes locked on Japan's chocolate ones.

"Just watch me." Japan's stare could penetrate souls.

Japan moved his blue checker piece diagonally, getting ever so close to hopping over China's. "Your turn."

China observed the board, before moving a red piece over Japan's. "This surely is going to determine fate, aru."

Japan nodded. "Certainly, Chuugoku-san." Japan began to contemplate his next move.

As the older nations began another icy staredown, their cheerleaders were watching, one holding up a cellphone.

Korea was jumping up and down, waving pon-poms around and yelling, "LET'S GO, ANIKI, LET'S GO! LET'S GO, ANIKI, LET'S GO!" As Korea cheered, Hong Kong used his latest smartphone to tape the whole match for posterity. And laughs.

Meanwhile, Taiwan was bouncing on her heels, waving her arms. "Come on, Japan! Don't let us down! Kick sensei's 4000-year-old behind!"

"Go, Japan, go!" Thailand lended a hand by cheering along with Taiwan.

Japan moved another piece.

China made a piece get to Japan's side.

Japan made a triple-hop.

With each move, Korea got more hysterical and Taiwan got louder. Hong Kong was starting to laugh from the sheer dorkiness and Thailand began to pay strict attention to the game.

It was two hours before China and Japan had reached each other's corner. The silence was almost frightening until Korea whispered, "Come on, Aniki...I want to watch TV tonight!"

"Don't listen to the Korean weirdo!" Taiwan whisper-yelled. "Get me that TV remote, Japan!"

The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Until finally...

"I win."

Japan's last piece had made it to the other side.

"Aw!" China cried.

"GOD DANG IT, DA ZE!" Korea screeched, flipping the table. Hong Kong was laughing like crazy, Taiwan was doing a victory dance, and Thailand laughed and clapped as Japan made his way towards the television.
