Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh,
o'er the fields we go,
laughing all the way!
Bells on bobtails ring,
making spirits bright,
what fun it is to ride and sing
a sleighing song tonight! Oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.


It was hardly a rare occasion when Belgium came rushing up to her big brother Netherlands, grinning head to toe, but it was certainly strange to see him in the distance fixing a one-horse sleigh with chapped, rosy lips atop a snowy hill. A long queue extended behind him, and he seemed to have set up a stall in the middle of everything; every couple of minutes he turned to the first customer in the queue, gave the horse a carrot with the smallest smile he could muster, and sent them off of their way. Belgium, after watching from a distance, rushed up towards her brother.

"Hey! Big brother! Hi!" Belgium exclaimed, rushing towards him. "What's all this?"

"A great way to make money. Look at the queue. It's so big, which means my business is successful, which means more money. Clever, right?"

Belgium laughed weakly. "Yeah! Of course!" She paused to peer down the hill. "Oh, look, the customer's at the bottom. How will they get the sleigh up again?"

"I offered two nations 10% of the total profit each if they carried it up for me." As Netherlands said this, two voices could be heard from below- one gruff and deep, one strangely pitched and…very annoying.

"Kesesesese! Oi, West, you got a stitch yet? How many times have we done this, 20?!"

"23. No, I don't have a stitch."

"Liar-"

"Don't talk to me. I'm earning money here."

Belgium stood silent as she watched him negotiate with a couple of customers. Her demeanour was desperate, and her lip was trembling.

Big brother's so blunt…


Hello! :D
I am, sadly, sick. But I will obviously still be posting! I get more time to write when I'm off, too. :P
I also started Beautiful World today, and...uh...stingy Netherlands is cool. I like him. Much wow.
But something's changed about Japan's hair, I know it has! D:
At least the Rondo is the ending song. I love the Rondos :DDD
See you all tomorrow, and have a great day/night/whatever it is that applies to you right now! :3
