Chapter 1: The World Meeting

"Piri!"

The young brunette turned towards her brother, stuck out her tongue, and laughed at the sight of his exhausted expression. "Oh, come on, Kuya. Why do you have to be so old and so slow~?" She teased.

Right next to the mango tree was a small garden of bamboo trees, curtesy of her older brother. China glared at the garden and shouted, "Panda! Why don't help me?!"

Startled by his outburst, a small panda cub accidentally let go of the bamboo tree he had been previously holding onto, snacking away and eating like there was no tomorrow. The young cub rubbed his head, his eyes swirly. There was a small red lump on his head. Yowch. That must hurt.

She wanted to help Panda, but if she did, Kuya would be able to catch her. "Tsina! Tulungan mo naman ang alaga mo." She yelled over my shoulder.

He groaned. "Hmm... I'd rather not.." The young girl gasped when her brother suddenly put on a burst of speed, jumping over nearby rocks like a ninja. "Also. . ." He landed near her. "I am not old!"

Oh no, he was catching up! Little Piri knew that shouldn't be surprised that he caught up though, she was still rather short in comparison to his height.

Still, even as she ran her fastest, she knew well that Kuya was catching up. Piri needed a plan, something- anything!- she didn't want to die! Then she spotted it; just a little ways to her side, if she just reached out just a little! A smile spread across her face as she turned, and saw and- now!- flung her free hand out and gripped onto a nearby tree and spun towards her brother instead of away.

China shrieked in surprise when Piri barreled into his body, tackling his stomach and knocking him down. Ugh, the pain. Chin had been tackled multiple times in the past, but this time it felt like she'd gained even more weight. His light brown eyes looked down at the other pair of innocent, bright ones, and he instantly felt his anger vanish and dissipate. This was someone who he considered his sister, a young country he'd been doing trade with since the twelfth century. Sure, she was a country like him, but still, looking past her immortality and ever growing wisdom, she was just a young, orphaned girl who never knew what it was like to have parents. He had grown up the same way, and he didn't want her to continue growing without anybody in her life to consider family. China ran a gentle hand through the young girl's soft, brown hair.

【Present Day】

It was another normal meeting of the countries. As usual, they had decided to meet at a secretive location, wanting to keep the fact that "teenagers" were the ones in charge of the whole world.

The Asian nations such as China, Thailand, and Japan were some of the very first ones to arrive in one of Japan's private meeting halls. Soon after, those like America and Canada arrived for the World Conference.

They took their seats around the wooden table, getting ready for another pointless meeting. The top producers and most advance nations were located near the window, and the more third-world countries by the door.

Land of the Free and home of the Brave, United States of America, stood up and walked over to the old fashioned white board.

As usual, everybody thought, and expected, America would have started the meeting out with one of his preposterous ideas of creating a giant super hero to save the world from world hunger and poverty.

Boy, were they wrong.

"Dudes. I'm, like, totally serious 'bout this one." The North American said. The, normally, obnoxious nation had an expression of slight confusion and irritation, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his lips a small, tight frown. No one has ever seen this side of America. Even during the times of war, colonization, rebellion, and treachery, this country only spoke like this once. And that was during. . . . The American Revolution.

United States of America was dead serious.

|EDIT: Okay, lots of major changes to the story! I am currently editing every one of the chapters and changing all those historical errors and shtuff.|

((UPDATED: MARCH 31, 2015. I JUST ADDED HONGKONG))

Okay, so the first chapter is completely different from the original, but trust me. It is somewhat the same....to an extent.

And, also... MY WRITING SKILLS FINALLY IMPROVED!!

Compare this to the chapter 1 of my first fanfic, Pokemon: Dimension Swap. It's better. More improved. I'm even impressed with myself.

But, after ch 11 of Pokemon: Dimension Swap, I place the story on hiatus, wanting to discontinue it permanently. But people wanted me to continue it and BAM! The sorry was on hold for about 4 months, and within that time, I improved.

Stay Calm,
And Write On.
