Next chapter! FINALLY! So, I lied. No Nordics or Greece yet this chapter. They will come but, later.

And any questions on the story so far?

So, without further ado...

The next morning I woke up very early, since back in my country I was a farm girl So it's natural for me to wake up just a little before sunrise.

I very easily got ready since putting on my clothes was very easy to manage. My hair...not so much though. The only thing I hated about my dark red-brown bush was that it had split ends. The ends of my hair were dry, thus making my hair go from dark red-brown to light red-brown as it traveled to the end of my hair. And it absolutely didn't match my purple eyes at all.

I ran my brush through the hair once more before I put some almond oil in it.

See, in Linomea we don't have that much fancy hair products so we use VERY natural and easy-to-get things. Getting almond oil was so easy you could do it yourself. As well as Linomean shampoo. Just go to the forest to gather whatever scents you wanted for your shampoo and bring it to the plantevoil- which is the name we Linomeans use for people who make products for hair and beauty- who will make you your shampoo or other hair products.

By the time I was done with getting ready, I was out of my dorm door and going down the stairs. I was so early, I might as well take a walk around the campus. I will need to know this place like the back of my hand since I will be going here for 4 years until I graduate. And who knows, maybe I can meet some more people.

As I walked outside and was met by the sun rising and the cool morning air, I almost tripped as a black and white animal ran past me. It looked like a dog but it's body structure was too wide to be one.

"Panda! Aiyah! Come back, aru!" Someone yelled as they ran past me and to the "dog". I watched as the person caught the animal and placed it back in their basket on their back.

I couldn't decipher whether it was a male or female but, by the looks of the body structure it was a male. And by the accent he had to be Asian. Most likely Taiwan, China, or Hong Kong -since I've already met Japan. But, from what I heard Taiwan was a girl so I had only two options on who it was. China or Hong Kong.

He looked behind him since he probably sensed my presence. He waved at me as I gave him a quizzical look -from trying to figure out who he was.

"I'm guessing you are China or Hong Kong?" I asked him as I took a few steps to him to be able to see his facial features better.

He had dark brown hair long enough to put in a side-low ponytail that ended just at his chest. He also had brown eyes to match. I usually didn't like eyes that matched hair but, this actually looked good for him.

"Great guess. I am China, aru. Human name: Wang Yao." China said as he extended his arm so we could shake hands. I awkwardly took his hand in mine and quickly shook it before letting go rather rudely. "And you are?" He asked me as he smiled.

"I'm Linomea. Human name: Kathy Alice Ann Sammy Cardinal." At the sound of my name his face became more alert. Was it that he remembered what I said into the microphone at introductions? Maybe he thought I was...a cougar?

"I'm so sorry for you, aru. Russia hasn't done anything to you, has he?" He said in a very sympathetic voice.

I was quite flattered that he knew that I was half Russian. At least SOMEONE knew a LITTLE something about LINOMEA.

"E-excuse me? He hasn't done anything. I'm not very close to Russia nor Germany. I'm mostly independent since I'm an all natural country. I don't rely on many other countries. Although I do believe we rely on you more then anyone else."

China's facial expression relaxed at the new of me being safe and for the sort-of compliment I gave him.

"I'm so sorry for thinking that. It's just that Russia has been quite a...pest ever since he's came to be."

"You are over 4,000 years old right? You must know SO MUCH! You must be the oldest living country alive!" I almost fangirled out on him. I had a thing for history. It's more of a fetish, really.

"Linomea, why are you out and up so early?" I heard Hungary yell from behind me. I turned around before I could go into "glomping-mode".

Hungary was still in her pajamas, only she was wearing her robe. She had her hair done for the day but, that was all.

"I was talking to Yao, er- China." I said as I looked behind me to still see the Chinese man standing there.

Hungary's eyes looked from China to me then she covered her mouth before she could squeal. She then pulled me away from China to tell me something, I supposed.

"How many guys are you going to meet before you chose one? You have so many opportunities to get a boyfriend! Just pick a guy and go Harvest Moon on him!" She practically fangirled on me. I gave her a look of anger. Don't tell me she was one of those annoying girls who gossiped all of the time.

"I'll chose my own choices, mind you. Now go do whatever it was that you were doing earlier. But, maybe that Harvest Moon idea isn't so bad." I then turned around in a huff and walked back over to China. and it looked like he completely didn't hear anything. Great, because all I needed was him to know I was a tsundere.

As the atmosphere stayed silent, I thought of what to say next.

"C-Can I touch the animal in your basket?" I asked.

"You mean my Panda, aru?" China said as he took his Panda out from his basket and held it out for me to pet.

"Is this a normal animal in your country? AH!" I asked as I touched the fur on its back, only to have it try to eat my sweater. I took a step back before it could rip my clothing. "I think your Panda is jealous of me...How can such a cute thing be so mean?"

"Hm? That's weird, she's never done that before." China said as he placed his Panda back in his basket on his back. Right when I was about to ask something again, I backed up by one step...only to trip over a body.

As I fell the to ground and landed on my butt, I had seen what I had tripped over.

"WHY IS SOMEONE SLEEPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIRT PATH?"

Who do you think was sleeping on the dirt path? Who should Kathy meet next? Who should she become more close to first? Who should ask her on a date first? Any other suggestions?

I'll try to type up the next chapter soon~
