Not All Scars Heal With Time

East Asia Summit

Actual event. Tried my best people. Oh and also, I hinted at one of my favorite ships. Well, more like told you rather than hinted. Masiyahan!

"I'm surprised at how good friends you are with Kiku, aru." China said to the girl. The girl laughed as they walked into Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with the other nation.

"It wasn't his fault at all. All three nations feel bad about what they had done, especially Germany." The girl commented with a bright smile. "He's a great trade partner anyways. Anyways, I heard new that brother-in-law was coming to the first Summit as a guest. Is it true, Yao?"

At this point, the two were on a first name basis with each other, as with most of the other East Asian nations, though some of them the girl hasn't even heard what their names were yet. China burned bright red. "I told you not to call Ivan that, aru! And yes, he's coming." The girl laughed.

"Well I wish you luck with the others." The girl said. "None of us are giving either of you any break with that. Just be glad the bosses are in a separate meeting room." The two entered the meeting place. "I wonder how this'll turn out. I mean, being the first ever Summit!"

"Don't fret, aru." China said with a smile as they opened the door to the room where they were holding the meeting. Malaysia, Japan, India, South Korea and Russia were already there. The girl noticed how it seemed every stayed a bit aways from Russia. She hadn't really gotten to know the nation personally but if he was a "friend" of China's then she wanted to be nice to him. Plus, she had met him a bit during WWII.

China smiled and went to sit by him, the girl following after. "Yao!" Russia cheered, then hugged China tight. China yelped and squirmed as the other nations both chuckled and shivered with fright. The girl raised her eyebrow in question, but laughed a bit.

"Let go, aru!" China yelled. Russia let go and the girl laughed more. The Northern nation brought his attention to the laughing girl who had the courage to sit close to him. Out of curiosity, he poked the girl's cheek, just to check she was real. China gave a deadpan look to him. "What are you doing, Ivan?" He asked.

"Nothing." Russia said, sitting straight up. He looked back to the girl. "You are Philippines, da?" Russia asked with a sweet smile. The girl returned it and nodded.

"In the flesh." She laughed. "I haven't seen you in a while. I'm not exactly surprised you don't remember me but ten again, I didn't talk to you all tat much. How have you been?" For the rest of the time before the meeting, the three former Allies talked of the dinner and China scolded him for not remember all that much of his friend.

The meeting on its own was boring though. Politics and trading and and things of the such. By the time it was over, pretty much everyone was ready to camp out in the hotel and then head home the next day. China, Russia and the girl walked to where they were staying, as all the countries tended to stay in the same hotel.

As it turns out, Russia didn't exactly use his room that night. The girl, Japan and South Korea camped out by China's door for a small bit to make sure, all three of them snickering and cracking jokes about "brother-in-law". They only left for their own rooms when China walked out of get something from the vending machine and spotted the three of them dashing around a corner.

Needless to say, he chased the three around until they locked themselves in their hotel rooms. After that, there was a Summit each year. The next one was in the girl's country but really the only interesting thing was how it had to rescheduled, causing them to have two meetings in one year. Fun things were far and few between until the fifth Summit.

"嘿! Jessette!" China's voice called. The girl was walking into this year's meeting place in Vietnam. The girl smiled and turned to see her friend running towards her.
