"Japan! Is Aniki okay? I can't find him!" Korea worryingly asked Japan. Japan was shocked at what his older brother had told him. He had seen him just two days ago. Then he remembered. The nation quickly found the meeting room's calender.

"Japan? Wh-What's wrong? Do you know where Aniki went?" Korea asked. Japan, with fear in his eyes, looked at the date.

December 25th, 2011.

"THAT BAKA!" Japan growled to himself. He looked over at Korea, and sighed. "Korea-kun, Get Taiwan-chan and Hong Kong-san." he ordered. His voice was a bit shaky though. "Ah! Y-Yes Japan!" Korea obeyed. Japan looked outside. it was fine at the moment, but A blizzard was supposed to hit Russia and China's home this week. And China was still suffering from a cold.
There was no way he could sit outside like this.

"Why doesn't he just LISTEN?"

Meanwhile, China, in the patched scarf and mittens that Russia made for him when they were very young nations, was outside in what may have been the most phenominal Blizzard in all of his homeland. He was sniffling and starting to sit down. There was no way that, in this point of his sickness, that he could stand in such a snowstorm. He had suffered other obsticles in blizzards, before, but not like this.

"Aiyah...Maybe...Nihon was right, aru..." The Nation weakly laid in the snow, not even able to see the dark sky. he started to hear a voice. One that brought tears to his eyes.

"Chigoku..."

The Asian lifted his head, seeing a dark figure that he somehow could plainly see. Despite the blaring snow that sheilded his path. He stared in disbelief.
"...Asia?"

"Chigoku, come...I'm finally back..." the voice began to have a dark twist to it. China didn't care for it, he tried to get up, but he was still so weak. The dark figure began to turn around, heading into the bamboo-filled forest.
"A-Asia!" He yelled. The voice didn't answer this time. the figure seemed to be swallowed in the blizzard once again. China suddenly began to run after it, despite how weak he was.
He had waited over 4,000 years to see his beloved Asia, the one who came into his life, took care of him, then suddenly left him. The one who found him first, and took him in.

He just wanted to see her again.

"Asia, wait aru!" China yelled as he ran. the dark figure seemed even farther now. There was a sudden darkness as he passed out, only able to whisper a few words before losing consciousness.
"...Asia...Wait..."

The young nation with long, black hair and a mandarin jacket had wandered into the garden, bringing along his "brothers", which were pandas. One panda growled something that only the country could understand.
"Yeah! I promise it's totally fine! I played here yesterday, and this nice lady let me inside and gave me these weird things. They tasted delicious, better than Bamboo, aru!" the nation smiled.
The panda roared at him, and the nation backed away. "Calm down, aru! I know you don't trust humans, after what they did, but this one's okay. I promise, aru!"

As if on cue, the continent stepped out of the hut. She smiled at the nation, who smiled back. The pandas backed away in fear, however.
"I brought my family today, aru!" He laughed. The Continent smiled at the two pandas, receiving their trust after softly petting their fur. The nation laughed.
"I told you so, aru!"
"...Chigoku, you know that isn't nice. I won't give you doughnuts of you misbehave." the Continent sternly scolded the nation. The nation nodded, then gave a confused look.
"Ch...Chigoku?"
"Ah...it means China. You said you didn't have a name, correct? You've practically been living in that forest for the past 100 years..." the continent explained. China nodded.
"Well...actually, I lied...our home was burned down, and we've been traveling across this place, aru," China explained. He looked back at the pandas, who had given sad looks as they remembered.

"You poor things...I don't have much to offer, but, I'll gladly take you in...that is, if you don't have any other family already looking for you." The continent suggested. she held out a hand to the nation.
The very young country looked back at his brothers, who hesitantly sniffed her hand. after agreeing that she would most likely not hurt them, they looked over at China.
The nation thought for a moment. It seemed much nicer than the dark forest. And they wouldn't have to sleep in the snow during the winter. And maybe, just maybe, this could cure his brother's distrust of humans, too.

The young country grabbed her hand. It was soft, and he was unused to this sort of gesture. The continent sighed and smiled, and finally, lead them inside.
"By the way, my name is Asia."
