A/N: aannnnd i've broken my promise of one-chapter-a-day even more -_- sorry guys!

This was actually surprisingly hard to write, especially considering this my fav character song :3 I'm sorry about the lack of characters in particular; it's mostly just hong, taiwan, america, iggy, and france. russia and poland are in there once and korea and japan are in there a few times (not including the intro). I just couldn't think of anyone else to put... and I had writer's block with this... sorry if the chapter's bad!

Annnnyyways, let's talk about something a little better :3 oh, but spoilers btw. Germany just trainwrecked Brazil in FIFA 7-1 XD like Brazil was having a really bad day or something :S Feel bad for them. At least they can get third maybe.

Okay, something slightly more story-related. Reviews!

Kit: It's okay i ship both NorIce and HongIce too XD I wouldnt say incest is fine but in Hetalia it is I guess :P I think its fine to have a crush on an anime/book/nonexistent character as long as you're not like "IM GOING TO HAVE (insert character here)'S BABIES". ugh. those fangirls are creepy. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter too!

RandomReader: Russia-chan does need a hug. And sunflowers. And friends ;-; *goes to hug* Thank you for the compliment! And fifa... I think I'm cheering for Germany. Or maybe Netherlands idk. Just a Hetalia nation :3 I was originally cheering for Italy but then... well the group stage just kinda killed them :c and Spain too. And several other "Hetalia" nations. But my dad is cheering for Germany so I'm kinda just going along with it.

By the way, after I'm done this fic, I'm going to write a side story about Liet confronting Russia about that, since quite a few of you want that. It might take a while though, since this fic is actually FARRRR from over. We have one more character song after this... plus other songs ^^ like Iggy's Demon Summoning Song and Wa Wa World Ondo :3

Speaking of which, I was going to do some 'hetaloid' songs but i'm just going to shoutout Amy Kitty Katz's Hetaloid Havoc (i have zero clue how to link properly so just look it up on ff), which is basically this but with hetaloid songs. I was thinking about leaving those and letting her write them, but if you guys also want me to go ahead and say so. Still, go check out her story ^^

And last thing before the chapter: there will not be a chapter tomorrow. I'm going to stampede (yay :3) and then playing softball tomorrow, so I won't have any time to write sadly. There will almost definitely be one the day after, unless writer's block hits me in the face or something -_-

Okay, you've waited long enough. To the chapter!


"Iie, there weren't any sheets on the ground or anything…"

"Are you sure? We gave you everything we had. Maybe you've forgotten?"

"No, my memory is not that bad. There was nothing on the ground, nor were the sheets still in the folder."

"You should go back and double-check. If there's still nothing, we'll print you off another copy."

And that's how Japan found himself back at the recording booth.

"Just because I'm old doesn't mean I have a bad memory," Japan grumbled as he looked around the room. "Why do I have to be doing this when I could be watching anime instead…"

After finding nothing in the main room, Japan then walked into the booth. He searched for a few minutes before noticing that someone had recorded something between the actual recording session and now. Confused, Japan put the headphones on and pressed the play button.

Japan gasped as he listened. He was slightly shaking and dazed… He listened for the whole 17 minutes, unable to do anything else.

After the song was over, Japan took off the headphones shakily, and took a deep breath. He wasn't sure what to do or think.

"Well…" Japan managed to choke out. "Now we don't need to worry about the other song…"


The next day, the nations were all back in the studio. Japan cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Konnichiwa, everyone. Today's recording shouldn't take too long, as we only have two more songs to record. Thank you for coming, and-"

He was cut off by China. "Wait, Japan. Doesn't Russia still have another song?"
Japan shook his head, slightly annoyed at China for interrupting. "... No, he doesn't… He's finished recording," he said, trying not to give too much away.

Lithuania, who was sitting beside Poland, snuck a sideways glance at the nation in question, who was smiling and terrorizing Latvia as usual. It seemed he was back to normal.

"... So Japan-san heard it as well, then…?" he whispered to himself. He really needed to confront Russia about that sometime. Maybe Japan could help him figure out how to.

"...Hǎo ba..." China said. Then he walked over to Japan. "Then it's my turn, right, aru?"

Japan nodded, and handed him the papers. "I believe you know how this works, China-san. Then, if you'd please-"

"Wait a second, Japan. Let me look at the lyrics first, aru," he interrupted (again). "I don't want a repeat of last time, aru…" he added.

Japan was about to say something when China's words stopped the words dead in their tracks. "That would be a good idea…" he said. He didn't need a repeat either.

China finished flipping through the papers and smiled. "Looks good, I guess, aru! Okay, I'm off!"

Japan watched China walk into the studio, before letting out a sigh of relief. If China said it was fine, it had to be fine. He didn't think he could take another one of those songs, especially after the incident of the previous night.

"Hey, Japan," China's voice broke through his thoughts. "Start the music, aru."

"Ah, hai," Japan replied, rushing over to the sound board and hitting the play button.

China immediately began singing, with only some strings accompanying him.

Dim, dim, dim, dim

d-i-m sum!

"Ooh, dim sum!" America shouted, grinning. "Dim sum is awesome! Especially when it's take-out!"

China glared at him. 'Don't mess up my food,' he thought, trying to convey that to America.

Of course, that wouldn't have worked even if he'd shouted it in his face.

So tasty, so enjoyable, and so popular,

(Ha!)

is dim sum, dim sum, aru!

(Aiyaa!)

"Wait, so your song is about, like, dim sum?" Hong Kong asked, raising an eyebrow. Taiwan just facepalmed.

Go to Hong Kong as well,

(Ha!)

but the origins lie in me, China, aru!

"No, dimseom originated in me, da-ze!" Korea shouted.

Hong Kong rolled his eyes. "That's, like, not true," he said.

Korea's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "What?!" he yelled, shocked. "Hong, are you okay?!" When Hong Kong didn't give an answer, Korea continued flailing around. "Hong is terminally ill! What are we gonna do?! We have to get him to a hospital!"

BAM!

Taiwan hit him on the head. "Calm down! Just because Hong told you something that's true does not mean he's sick!"

"But, Taiii…" Korea whined. "That hurt…"

Taiwan huffed. "You deserve it," she said, and then turned around, ending the conversation.

Jiǎozi, Shāo mài, Xiǎo lóng bāo,

they're well known, aren't they, aru?

"Huh?" America asked, tilting his head. "What are those? Ching chong stuff or something?"

England facepalmed. "No, you bloody git! Those are Chinese foods!"

"Ohhhh," America said. Then, a realization struck America. "Wait, you speak Chinese?"

"Well, I know some," England replied. "Enough to know that those are foods."

Xìngrén dòufu, Mángguǒ bùdīng,

you know them, right, aru?

Taiwan clapped her hands together, smiling. "Those are good! Sensei, at least you have a good sense of taste, if nothing else."

While eating diǎnxīn and drinking Chá,

I'll have some dim sum, aru!

"Sensei… those are the same thing…" Taiwan pointed out.

"Maybe he means, like, desserts?" Hong Kong suggested. "There is that double meaning, yeah?"

"True…" Taiwan said. "Well, sensei does like sweets…"

So tasty, so enjoyable, and so popular,

(Ha!)

is dim sum, dim sum, aru!

(Aiyaa!)

It's okay to eat alone,

(Ha!)

but divide it up wisely when there are crowds!

"Share?!" America shouted. "What do you mean I have to share?!"

Only to be met with England's fist.

"It would do you some good to learn some bloody manners! I thought I taught you that sharing is good!" England scolded.

America stuck his tongue out. "But it's food!" England just glared at him and turned away.

Going with my dim sum in the morning is Zǎochá, aru.

Going with my dim sum in the afternoon is afternoon tea, aru.

My habit is to not go out too much at night,

but recently shops have been opening up, aru!

"If you go out at night, you should come to my house, da?" Russia smiled.

No one said anything.

Diǎnxīn is sincerely interesting and affectionate.

Filled with health, élan, and boldly moving forward!

"Wait, can you lose weight by eating that stuff?" America asked excitedly. "I need to try that stuff now!"

"Didn't China give you some weight-loss tea?" France asked him. "What about that?"

"Euhh…" America stuck his tongue out, remembering the tea. "It was so bitter and stuff! How was I supposed to drink it?"

England glared at him. "Isn't your 'amazing coffee' much more bitter than tea?"

America shrugged. "But you can't even put anything in Chinese tea! Like at least with your tea you can put milk and stuff in it."

England was surprised. "That's… actually a valid point."

"See?" America bragged.

I'll try to eat anything while exploring the heart!

Dim. dim, dim, dim,

d-i-m sum!

While eating diǎnxīn and drinking Chá,

have some dim sum!

"Sensei…" Taiwan sighed. "Again,

Tea is also very tasty and rich, aru!

There are hundreds of kinds of Chinese tea!

Pǔ'ěr chá, Shòu méi chá, Shuǐxiān chá, Júhuā chá, and Tiě guānyīn chá!

Tea is very potent, aru!

England nodded. "Yes, it definitely is. Although British tea is better than Chinese tea."

China glared at him briefly, before returning his focus to the song.

Beauty is good too!

First, wash the dishes that make tea.

Once you pour it out, you no longer have to take the lid off the pot!

"Huh?" several of the Western nations chorused.

"What does that even mean…?" America asked.

Taiwan sighed. "There's a kind of specific way to make and serve tea in some Eastern nations. I think sensei's trying to explain that…"

"Really?" England asked. "Is it kind of like the Golden Rule?"

"Etto… I believe the making of it is similar, but at my house, the tea ceremony is more focused on serving the tea. I think that the tea ceremony is different between nations, though, so I think you need to ask China-san yourself."

"I see…" England said, deep in thought, occupied with tea as always.

Alongside the diǎnxīn is the leading role, dim sum, aru!

So tasty, so enjoyable, and so popular,

(Ha!)

is dim sum, dim sum, aru!

(Aiyaa!)

Those with a sweet taste will have tiándiǎn xīn!

Those will a salty taste will have xián diǎnxīn!

"No duh," Hong Kong commented. "Isn't that like, obvious?"

Lái, lái, lái, lái, to China!

Lái, lái, lái, lái, to fantasy!

Lái, lái, lái, lái, to charm!

Lái, lái, lái, lái, to the world of gourmet!

Hong Kong rolled his eyes. "Like, you're not gonna get tourists that way. You should-" he was cut off by an overenthusiastic Korea.

"That means I can come over, right?! Uri nara mansae!" Korea cheered.

"shouldn't say that, because, like, Korea's gonna barge into your house," Hong Kong finished, sighing.

Dim sum,

(Ha!)

dim sum,

(Ha!)

Dim sum-sum-sum!

(Ha! Ha! Ha!)

"This guy, like, really likes dim sum, huh?" Poland commented.

Dim sum,

(Ha!)

dim sum,

(Ha!)

together with my panda!

"Pandas can eat dim sum?!" America asked, shocked. "I thought they just, y'know, nommed on bamboo all day or something!"

"Well… we can't question China on his knowledge about pandas…" France told him.

"... I wonder if they can eat burgers?" America wondered out loud.

"Don't try it!" France yelled at him. "That'd kill it for sure!"

"Are you sure you're not confusing my amazing food with Iggy's?" America said.

"Non," France replied. "Although they're both pretty bad…" he added under his breath.

(Ha! Ha! Ha!)

Dim sum,

(Ha!)

dim sum,

(Ha!)

Dim sum-sum,

(Ha! Ha! Ha!)

everyone eats it, aru!

"China-san, that isn't true," Japan pointed out. "What were the writers thinking when they gave him this song…?" he asked himself quietly.

So tasty, so enjoyable, and so popular,

(Ha!)

is dim sum, dim sum, aru!

(Aiyaa!)

Shedding light upon the heart

(Ha!)

is dim sum, dim sum, aru!

"...How is that possible?" England asked.

"It's China. Let's just not question him…" France told him. The two just stood there, trying to wrap their minds around what China had just said. And they weren't arguing. For once.

(It's also good to…

go to Japan!)

"Eh?" Japan said, surprised. "Ano… Your food is good… but please stop sending your food to my house!" He shook his head. "Send it to Korea-san if you must send food to somebody."

China gave Japan a horrified look at the mention of Korea. Japan had to smack himself to keep from laughing.

"Hong Kong!

Taiwan!

Gather around, and bring the bamboo grass!"

(It's good to eat a lot!)

Hong Kong and Taiwan both gave China looks, as if he was crazy. "Sensei, this isn't your house…" Taiwan sighed. "There isn't bamboo grass here either…"

"Like, we already ate, y'know," Hong Kong added.

"Yeah, that too! Eating a lot isn't that good, unless you want to be fat like… uh, Měiguó," Taiwan said, looking over her shoulder to make sure America hadn't understood that.

England did, though. "Ha!" he laughed. "That's completely accurate!" he smirked.

"What is?" America asked, totally oblivious to what Taiwan had said.

"Nothing," France said. He knew extremely basic Chinese from when he'd been trading in China. Or at least enough to know what America was in Chinese. "I don't think you want to hear, l'Amerique."

America pouted. "Yes, I do! Tell meeeeeeee!"

"If you say so!" England said, grinning. "You just got called fat."

America's face changed dramatically and the nations had to stop themselves from laughing. "What?! I'm not fat! I just uh… the scales are inaccurate!" he yelled, flustered.

"Whatever you say…" England said, and went back to listening to China sing.

Children and adults over the generations,

everyone has dim sum,

dim sum!

The song ended and China smiled happily to himself.

'That was fun!' he thought, as he flipped through the lyric sheet to his next song...


A/N: suckish ending is suck QQ

I decided to have them ignore the random HA!s and whatnot. Couldn't fit it in without making everything super-crowded. Plus I wasn't sure how -_-

Translations:

Hǎo ba - Chinese: Okay

dimseom - Korean: dim sum

Měiguó - Chinese: America

oh yeah. it's my hc that the European nations involved in trading and fighting with China know basic Japanese. The nations include like Iggy, France, Germany, and Russia. And of course, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand know Chinese (and vice versa). America, on the other hand, only knows "nihao", so he can't tell that he was insulted XD

I'll keep this short, so 再见!
