A/N: Okay, here is the first chapter featuring Elsa Ahola and China! I hope you like this one. Please review.


"No bunny."

Wang Yao, the personification of China was enjoying the cool midday of April in one of the parks in his capital city, Beijing. He walked under the blossoming trees watched the locals spending time there. Old men playing chess, men and women from different ages doing tai-ji, a form of martial art which is nowadays practiced for its health benefits. There were children playing around and families on picnic. The smallest of the children were gathered around some animal cages where was bunnies and parrots and some other cute animals too. Yao sat down on the bench near the cages and followed the children talking animatedly and feeding blades of grass to the small rabbits. This made him smile. Actually children in general made him smile. It was so nice to see them getting along with each other.

Except one little girl. She was crouched next to the cage a bit apart from the other children and was intently staring at the bunny opposite her until the bunny hopped to its hidey-hole. The girl continued staring but didn't say anything. She was very young, younger than any of the other children around the cages, and her whole appearance screamed western. She had very light colored hair which looked in the sunlight almost ivory white and if she had turned around, Yao was sure she would have had light blue eyes, a bit like that German nation or the Ukrainian. The little girl was wearing a pair of dark blue sweater pants and pinkish red sweat shirt. Someone would've called the color old rosa and made Yao think who would dress such a young girl in such a dull color. And why she had left alone? There were Chinese children about her age in the park but they were firmly by their parents' side. He looked at the side to the other benches to see if there were any foreigners but saw none. Only one middle-aged Chinese woman watching the children. She was probably a nanny. Maybe she was the one watching after the little girl. Yao turned sideways on his seat on the stone bench and laid down papers, some ink and a paint brush. It was a beautiful day, a perfect day to write something on calligraphy or paint a scene.

"Méiyǒu pupu."

Yao looked down next to him. And there she was. The little foreigner staring at him with her surprisingly dark, greyish blue eyes. She also had quite dark eyebrows which didn't clash her so blond hair and thankfully didn't look like the Opium's – England's – facial caterpillars.

"Qǐngwèn, shì shénme?(Excuse me, what?)" The nation asked gently. He had understood the first part of her speech, it was his language afterall! 'Méiyǒu' meant 'there is not' but the last word remained puzzling him.

"Méiyǒu pupu." The girl repeated in Chinese.

"Pupu?" Yao repeated in turn. The word was somewhat flat in his ears. It had pressure on the first syllable but otherwise it lacked tones which were so common in his language.

"Pupu." The girl pointed the cages where the rabbit was still hiding.

"Ah, tùzǐ!(a rabbit)"

The girl was thoughtful for moment before nodding. "Shì de!(Yes/That's right!)"

"Aiyah, she is so cute!" China smiled at her while she looked at the blank paper on the bench. "What's your name, little one?" (This is Chinese from now on, btw. I don't want to butcher my fic or the Chinese language by using google-trnsl.)

"Elsa." The girl smiled to him. That was very western name.

"Elsa, it's time to go home." The Chinese woman had gotten up from the other bench and walked to them, pushing a stroller in front of her.

"Ā yí -täti!" Elsa turned around and ran to the woman who lifted her up easily. Yao tilted his head a bit. There it was again. A Chinese word, this time meaning 'aunt' or 'nanny', and then another word added to it.

"I hope Elsa wasn't a bother." The woman smiled while letting Elsa still be on the ground for a while. It seemed that the girl was very active and would've squirmed out of lap anyways. She reminded Yao a bit of Im Yong Soo when he was younger.

"Not at all, she is delightful. So full of life." Yao smiled and introduced himself. The woman introduced herself too and told Yao she was working as a nanny for the girl's family, the Ahola's from Finland, who had moved a couple of months ago to Beijing. Both of the parents were working so a nanny was needed. Especially when the girl herself was approximately only one and half years old.

During the conversation Elsa and grown bored and took the attention back to herself by climbing on Yao's lap. She leaned her back against the man's chest and looked up at him with those blue orbs of hers. Yao couldn't help but squeal internally. It seemed the woman opposite them was having the same thoughts since she took a polaroid camera from the stroller. The nation lifted the girl to sit on his arm. Elsa instinctively fisted the front of his traditional red shirt, which this time didn't have that oversized sleeves, to balance herself.

"Elsa, look here!" The woman held up the camera and when the girl looked there, she took two photos which were instantly ready. Yao took the photos from the woman and smiled at them.

"Minä!" Elsa tried to grab them.

"Elsa, you get one of them and let's give Mr. Wang the other one." The nanny explained as she took a pen and wrote the date(the 24th April 1997), the place(the X park, Beijing, China) and her name there. Then Yao took the pen and wrote his name too. With a smile he gave the pen and the other photo to the woman who had put the camera away by now.

Elsa yawned and snuggled against Yao.

"Oh, take care of yourself, Elsa. Awww, you are so cute!" Yao hugged the girl tightly before letting the nanny take her and place her into the stroller.

"Xièxié, zàijiàn…(Thank you, bye bye…)" The little girl muttered sleepily. The woman waved a goodbye too and they left. Yao smiled and looked at the photo. Elsa was truly cute. The background was full of flowers which looked so beautiful behind her. Today he hadn't gotten anything done but who cared. It was his day off. And meeting with that little girl had been more than enough.


A/N: I guess some explanation and translations are in order now. Elsa's character is based on me and I indeed lived in China when I was a bit over one years old. I've heard that during that time I could indeed speak and understand Chinese but I have no idea how much. I've forgotten about all of it. But I do know that I once said "Meiyou pupu"(sorry the lack of accents now).

Finnish:

pupu - a bunny, a cute name for a rabbit, notmally it would be 'jänis'

täti - aunt, I still call my nanny from back then 'A yi -täti', before I thought A yi was her name. I still don't know her real name...

minä - I, literally just I

The Chinese parts were already translated weren't they? I there is something to ask, just do so.

Okay, this was about it about this chapter. The next one should come soon enough. It will be about Miyako and Mariko. No nation, sorry.

Please review btw! I'd like to know what you thought about this chapter.
