my family celebrates day as well

wow, this is one of my favorite stories of the 5 nordics. You are excellent

Aww that's just so cute! I think Finland is adorable3

I love Norway and Iceland's version the most. Finland's one was hilarious. GJ :D

-Kiseki :D

Rin: Is everybody here? Fin-kun?

Finland: Yup! And I brought everyone’s presents, too!

Rin: Den-kun?

Denmark: You know it, Angel. *sharpens axe one last time before setting it down carefully*

Rin: Swe-kun?

Sweden: Y’h, I’m h’re.

Rin: Nor-kun?

Norway: *nods*

Rin: And Ice-kun?

Iceland (blush finally fading): I’m right here.

Denmark (a bit jeeringly): Where’s Spectra?

Rin: He’s letting the Baku-boys know that I’m heading their way next. *takes deep breath* Okay, it’s time I explained to you guys. I’ve been writing stuff down for a challenge Eugene-chan gave me.

Sweden: Wh’ expl’n n’w?

Rin: ‘Cause now, through process of elimination, it’s gonna involve one of you. *tears opinion paper into five pieces* Okay, here goes…*closes eyes, mixes pieces up, chooses one, & looks at it* Okay, Fin-kun, it won’t be you…

Sweden: Wh’t w’n’t b’ m’ w’fe?

Finland: *shrugs* We’ll find out soon!

Rin: *repeats actions* Swe-kun, you’re out, too…

Finland: *gives Sweden his present*

Sweden: Th’nks, F’nl’nd. *hugs Finland*

Finland: *tries not to shriek*

Rin: *repeats process* It’s not gonna be Ice-kun, either… *glad she won’t have to kiss Eugene’s boyfriend* (He’s all yours, Eugene-chan! :D) Okay, so that leaves Nor-kun and Den-kun. Let’s do this. *gulps before going through process one final time* And it’s not Den-kun. So…Nor-kun.

Denmark: You still haven’t told us what the one who’s name was left at the end has to do!

Finland (handing out everyone else’s presents): Yeah! How does the challenge involve Norway?

Iceland: Tell us!

Sweden: Y’h, R’n, expl’n.

Rin (blushing): Um…well…mumbles “Kiss each other”*

Denmark: O.O WHAT?

Norway: *bright red*

Finland: *drops present out of surprise*

Sweden: *stares*

Iceland: *shocked* Seriously?

Rin: *nods, blushing* Um…but she never said we had to kiss in front of other people…

Denmark: Forget it, Angel. There is NO WAY you’re KISSING Norge without us watching!

Sweden: W’ sh’ld w’tch.

Finland: *nods* Even if it’s a bit late, it can still count as your Christmas present to Norway.

Iceland: Yeah! What do you expect us to do, walk out?

Norway (emitting creepy orange aura): LEAVE.

Everyone Else (except Rin): *scampers out*

Rin: *breathes again* Thanks, Nor-kun…

Norway: You’re welcome. *smiles at Rin* And don’t worry. If he finds out, I’ll help explain to Spectra.

Rin: *visibly relaxes* THANK YOU! *hugs Norway*

Norway: *smiles & kisses Rin*

Rin: *blushes, but kisses him back*

Both: *pull back a bit awkwardly after a second or two*

*OUTSIDE*

Iceland (spying): Only a couple seconds.

Denmark (spying) (muttering): Good thing, too. I don’t wanna have to-

Finland (spying) (cutting him off): Shhh! They’ll hear us!

Denmark: *shuts up*

Sweden (only one not spying): D’d ‘th’r of th’m s’y anyth’ng?

Denmark: *shakes head* *sighs, pulls away from door, & turns away* Well, guess that’s it, huh?

Others: *nod*

(A/N: Sorry for taking so long to get the challenge to ya, Eugene-chan! D: Hopefully this computer won't get the blue screen of death...)

*fansquees to death* I loved the icelandXreader one so much... It was really good...! I don't think that he sucked! *nosebleed*

Rin: You’re lucky! You can get on the computer without having to ask first! *jealous* Haha, you’re less clingy than I am. *tightens hug around Spectra*

Spectra: *sighs* (I’d rather have her clingy than messing around with Denmark…)

Rin: Amazing! A Christmas party for the nations, and I’m there! ;) Aw, it’s not in Ameri-kun’s country? *pouts for about ten seconds, then brightens up* Oh well, it’s not the place, it’s the people! Erm…or nations. Hehe, I’m betting the second one is why Iggy suggested Nor-kun’s country. :) *stifles laughter* Well, you never know, Hungary might get lucky…hey, where’s Ice-kun?

Iceland: Right here.

Rin: There you are! *grabs his hand & pulls him over*

Denmark (quietly, in a tone that strongly implies “pay attention to me here!”): You’re welcome.

Rin: *smiles gratefully* Thanks, Den-kun.

Denmark: *grins* No prob, Angel.

Rin: *snuggles closer to Spectra* O.O *covers mouth, shaking, not sure if she’s trying not to burst out laughing or gag*

Denmark: *makes face, but is shaking with laughter*

Iceland: *trying and failing not to laugh*

Spectra: *can’t stifle a smile*

Rin: Well…that was…interesting…HUNGARY SET THAT UP, DIDN’T SHE? *rolling on floor laughing and pounding ground with fists* She was hoping there’d be some yaoi before Iggy could get rid of France!

Denmark (still laughing): BRILLIANT!

Spectra (to Iceland) (still smiling): You’re being pretty quiet, Iceland.

Iceland: *shrugs nonchalantly*

Rin: *wiping away tears from laughing so hard* Aw, what happened to my present?

Denmark: *grinning evilly* You’ll see, Angel. ;)

Rin: *smiles and nodes* Hehe—empty private dance room in case anyone needs alone time to themselves. Sounds tailor-made for romance! *snuggles closer to Spectra* Aw, so cute! Ice-kun’s embarrassed! *smiles*

Iceland: No I’m not! *blushes*

Rin (whispering to Spectra): Yes he is.

Spectra: *nods, smiling*

Rin: Aw, so sweet, Ice-kun! *smiles* Go on, go kiss Eugene-chan!

Iceland: *blushing furiously* WHAT?

Denmark (teasing): Yeah, we all know you’re going out with her!

Iceland (flustered): I am not!

Spectra (smiling): Sure you aren’t.

Iceland: I’m not! *bright red*

Rin: Go on!

Denmark: Go kiss Eugene already, Ice! *pushes Iceland out of room* *follows to spy*

Rin: *happily snuggles closer* *whispers in Spectra’s ear, brushing her lips against him at the same time* It’s about time, right? *writing down opinion*

Spectra: *smiles* Right. *hugs Rin*

Rin: (*squeals* He’s hugging me! And I did it!) *hugs Spectra* Awww! I’m listening to a song on the iPod my cousin gave me for Christmas—it’s the third one on the ‘Awake 2007’ Daft Punk CD—and it’s sooooo cute with this chapter! :D *snuggles closer to Spectra with a happy sigh* Now onto the epilogue chapter.

Rin (singing): San~ta Fin~land’s com~in’ to town!

Spectra: Christmas is over, Rin. And Santa Claus only exists as Finland.

Rin: *sticks out tongue at him* You’re so mean, Spechan!

Denmark: Yeah, don’t be such a jerk to Angel, Spectra! *says Spectra’s name jeeringly*

Spectra: WHY THE H*LL ARE YOU STILL HERE? Finland and Sweden left, so why don’t you?

Denmark: ‘Cause I’m keeping an eye on Angel—keeping her safe from YOU.

Spectra: *anger mark* Do you see ME carrying an axe and sharpening it any time she speaks to someone else?

Denmark: *drags out sharpening his axe*

Rin: O.O (I never thought the day would come when anime boys are fighting over me… :D) *cheerfully* I’m just gonna review while they’re distracted! Oh, but first, Den-kun, go get Norway-kun.

Denmark: Why me? Make HIM do it!

Rin: (But I don’t trust you alone with me…!)

Denmark: *leaning back on couch* I’m not going anywhere.

Rin: …*sighs* *pleading look at Spectra* Spechan? Please?

Spectra: *rolls eyes* *leaves room*

Denmark (as soon as Spectra’s out the door): *leaps up* FINALLY! He’s gone. *hugs Rin*

Rin: Um, Den-kun, he’s coming right back…

Denmark (arrogantly): Then let him! You’re MY Angel, not his. *Bullet comes through door & nearly hits Denmark—only doesn’t because he dodges just in time* HEY, WHO THE H*LL SHOT THAT?

Rin: Oh yeah…forgot to tell you, Den-kun. During “Shun and Japan”, Spechan got Switzerland-kun to teach him how to use a gun. I think he originally wanted it to shoot Dan, but now…

Denmark: HOW THE H*LL COULD YOU “FORGET” TO WARN ME ABOUT THAT?

Rin: And he could probably give Switzerland-kun a run for his money…

Denmark: D*MM*T! *grabs axe*

Rin: Don’t! *grabs his wrist* *emitting scary aura (like Russia, Belarus, or Norway)* Behead Spectra or anything like that, and you will die!

Denmark: *quickly sets down axe & backs away a little*

Spectra: *comes back in with Norway following him & smoking gun in hand* *smirks just a little at Denmark & turns to Rin* There. I got him.

Norway: Hello, Rin. *eyes Denmark coolly*

Rin (grinning): Somehow, I have a feeling you and Spechan will be good friends, Nor-kun. Anyways. Review. COOKIE BAKING! :D I actually did bake cookies again this year. AMAZING COINKIDINK! ;D *grabs cookies she made & offers them to everyone*

Denmark: *taking one* Thanks, Angel. *kisses Rin on the hand*

Spectra: *tightens grip on gun* *takes cookie wordlessly*

Norway: *takes cookie simply because everyone else did*

Rin: *eating cookie* *sighs* Meeting on Christmas Eve. Sounds like something my dad’s company would make him do. And Mom WOULD have to bring them to him… *gasps* Nor-kun, that’s so sweet of you!

Norway: Well, you were busy…*blushing a little*

Rin: *smiles and kisses him on the cheek*

Norway: *bright red*

Spectra: *has hand on gun, ready to load it*

Denmark: Watch it, Norge. Angel’s MY girlfriend.

Spectra & Norway: NO, SHE ISN’T! *Norway grabs Denmark & holds him still while Spectra slugs him across the face*

Rin: *facepalms* …I really should stop them…but it’s like when Bulgaria was hitting Italy with a stick after Ita-kun tried to invade Egypt…he just deserves it so much…*after a moment, whistles super loud* OKAY, LET DEN-KUN BE!

Spectra: *hesitates* *kicks Denmark in the chest before backing off*

Norway: *doesn’t let go*

Rin (dangerously): NOR-KUN!

Norway: *reluctantly lets go* *punches Denmark between the shoulderblades & backs off*

Denmark: *stumbles from punch & “just happens” to fall right by Rin*

Rin: *catches Denmark* *glares at Norway while holding Denmark up*

Denmark: Thanks, Angel…

Rin (quietly): *holds up free hand* Don’t even think about kissing me.

Denmark: …right…*disappointed*

Rin: *helps steady him* *watches him for a moment* *sighs, shakes head, and smiles* You are such a kid, Den-kun. *hugs him*

Denmark (surprised): *relaxes & hugs Rin back* *smirks at Spectra*

Spectra: *hands clenched into fists* *releases safety catch on gun*

Rin (warningly): Spechan… *lets go of Denmark* *goes over and snuggles against Spectra* Moving on while everyone is so calm… *scribbles down opinions*

(Note: GOMENASAI! *dies* I’ve taken so long…! But it’s not like I’m trying to blow off the challenges or other reviews or anything, promise! It’s just that I always have limited computer time, and especially since our laptop died, it’s been a pain trying to get on for long enough to catch up. I have been printing out the updates and handwriting out my reviews, though. *gives slight thumbs up*)

Rin: YAY! I could stay on the computer! :D I'd better warn you, though - I just watched an Iggy vid & I've got an America vid open another tab, both of which made me super SUPER hyper on the thought of Hetalia boys... *stalling for time before reading the ReaderXKeith in New Christmas, New Love* *snuggles against Spectra* But man, this one's gonna be strange...I'm part Swedish...

Denmark: That doesn't mean it has to be weird.

Rin: ...you don't get it, Denmark-kun...*remembers Eugene's challenge* oh, right!

Spectra: Eugene...you told her to do something for this story, too, didn't you...

Rin: *sighs* You're too smart, Spechan. I'll tell ya your part at the end.

Spectra: DON'T CALL ME BY THAT STUPID NICKNAME!

Rin: (This is gonna be a long review, getting to know Denmark & Finland, too...) Hey, Den-kun...

Denmark: *takes a second to figure out Rin's talking about him* Yeah, Angel?

Spectra: *hands clench into fists*

Rin: *snickers* I'm gonna need your help this chappie. And Fin-kun, too. Can ya go get him?

Denmark: *rolls eyes* *kisses Rin on the cheek & smirks at Spectra before leaving*

Rin: *blushes* *sees Spectra glaring at her* Well, it's not MY fault! I warned you, I'm hyper on Hetalia boys right now! *snuggles against Spectra* 'Sides, you know you're my favorite of all time.

Spectra (fuming): Except Britain. And America. And apparently Denmark.

Rin: O.O You’re jealous, aren’t you?

Spectra: I just think you need to figure out who you have a crush on.

Rin: You ARE jealous! *hugs him around neck*

Denmark: *tugging Finland behind him* Found him! *stops & stares* What the h*ll are you hugging him for?

Rin: ‘Cause he’s Spechan. *tightens hug* Okay, good, I can get on with it. *grabs notebook & pen like a reporter* Fin-kun—

Denmark (whispers to Finland): You.

Rin: —how come you like Christmas so much, anyways? (Figure this should be question 1 since X-Mas was yesterday. :D)

Finland (smiling): That’s easy! Santa Claus does live in my country, you know.

Rin: Really?

Spectra: *mutters “There’s no such thing as Santa Claus”*

Finland: *eyes glow dangerously*

Rin: Uh-oh…um, Fin-kun, he’s from a different planet, so he doesn’t get it.

Finland: *nods but eyes are still glowing dangerously*

Rin: Um…next question. Den-kun, how come Norway gets so pissed at you?

Denmark: *shrugs* *drinking (read: chugging) beer*

Spectra: You honestly have to ask him?

Rin: …Okay, I’d better get onto the review…before anyone dies…hey, where’s Sweden-kun?

Finland: I’ll go get him. *leaves*

Rin: *snuggles against Spectra* *nearly gets away with kissing him on the cheek, but—*

Denmark: Hey, Rin, *sets down empty beer* after this, we should make more snow angels.

Spectra: MORE? *looks at Rin, who quickly pretends she was only snuggling*

Rin: (Dang!)

Finland (saves Rin from answering): We’re here!

Sweden: M’wife, wh’ didn’t y’ t’ll m’ y’ w’re l’ving?

Finland: (You forgot…)

Rin: Hey, Swe-kun!

Sweden: H’, R’n.

Rin: *smiles* Hey, how come you two are so close out of anyone, anyways?

Sweden: F’nland & I g’t aw’y fr’m D’nmark. *glares slightly at Denmark*

Denmark: *makes axe-sharpening motion*

Rin: *nods* (Even if it is weird, with how I’m part-Swedish, I’m still having fun! :D) *sees Denmark* DEN-KUN, BEHAVE!

Denmark: *grins arrogantly* Make me.

Rin: *turns away & hugs Spectra tighter* I will. By ignoring you.

Denmark: *anger mark*

Rin: Back to review again. Swe-kun, that’s so nice of you! Staying in Stockholm would be so much fun. :D And HECK YEAH! BRING ON COLD WINTER! *annoyed ‘cause there’s no snow where I live right now* Being St. Lucia sounds like it’d be cool, too!

Sweden: So th’t w’s you?

Rin: :) Yeah, I’d definitely trip on the dress…fail on my part. *shrugs* Oh well. *snuggles closer to Spectra* Thanks again, Swe-kun.

Sweden: No pr’blem.

Rin: *whispers to Spectra* Okay, now we have to both write down our true opinions of the Nordics—just Swe-kun, Fin-kun, and Den-kun right now, but Nor-kun and Ice-kun once I get to their chappies. *tears paper in half & hands him half*

Denmark (jealous): What’re you two whispering about?

Rin: Somethin’. *scribbles down opinions* Now onto the next chappie! :D (I’ll tell ya the opinions in a PM either when I’m done or when I have to get off the computer—whichever comes first. ;D So the Nordics don’t see them—I think Den-kun would kill me. *gulps* Or kiss me.) *steals a quick kiss on Spectra’s cheek while he’s writing* (YES! SUCCESS!)

Spectra (without looking up) (mockingly): So you’ve decided then?

Rin: (D*MN! HE NOTICED!)

Denmark: Yeah, she ‘decided’—on me!

Rin: DON’T KILL EACH OTHER, YOU TWO! *breathes* I need to get to the next chappie before they strangle each other.

Cute

cant wait for Norway's & Iceland's stories~ XD

Rin: Gosh knows THAT'S the truth. He's annoying...but funny...kinda like Poland-kun and Prussia. *purposely used no honorific for Prussia*

Spectra: You're so immature, Rin...

Rin: Ya just figured that out? ;) Here ya go, Eugene! *hands Eugene chocolate cake* That should help wake you up.

Spectra: *points at Rin* She's only awake because of the lunar eclipse that was supposed to be at 5:30.

Rin: Hey, it did technically start then...just it's taking six hours to get all the way through...gah, I'm just gonna move onto the review! *sighs* Yeah, everybody has a love/hate thing with Denmark...

Spectra: Including you.

Rin: Shut up, Spechan. *eyes light up* Hey, we should go out and make snow angels later!

Spectra: *rolls eyes*

Rin: C'mon, it'd be fun! *points at third paragraph* See? That's just some of the reasons to love making snow angels! :D

Spectra: Just review.

Rin: Gah, DENMARK, JUST LET ME SLEEP!

Spectra: (You shouldn't have woken up at 4 A.M. if you're just going to complain about being tired.)

Rin: O.O DENMARK, YOU BAKA! YOU CAN'T USE YOUR AXE TO GET YOUR WAY!

Denmark: Who says I can't?

Rin: ME!

Denmark: *kisses Rin to shut her up*

Spectra: ! *anger mark*

Rin: *kicks Denmark off* *blushing*

Spectra: *near ready to kill Denmark*

Rin: DENMARK! *blushing, turns away from Denmark*

Denmark: *smirking more than a bit smugly*

Spectra: *anger mark* *leaves before he can kill Denmark*

Rin: (Haha, it worked! Got him jealous! :D) *whispers* Good job, Denmark-kun.

Denmark: What? What the h*ll are you talking about?

Rin: O.O ...forget it...*sighs* *brightens up* Update soon, Hetalia Buddy! :D

Rin: Hey! I forgot to say - I FINALLY SAW "Paint it White!"! :D Even if I nearly cried when it showed *spoilerts!* all the different monuments Picto-fied...

Spectra: *rolls eyes* You're too sensitive, you know that?

Rin: Oh, quiet, Spechan. YES! OLYMPICS AND COCA-COLA FOREVER! *slurps Coca-Cola like how America always does*

Britain (mutters): Bloody wanker...

Rin: Hey, Britain, be nice! Next year's Olympics are in London!

Britain: You think I wouldn't know that?

Rin: *mutters "Well, considering what you just said..."*

Britain: *facepalms*

Rin: *cheery again* Haha, Coca-Cola outside is good at any time of year! :D No! What a waste of Coca-Cola! *pouts* *eyes light up* WOO-HOO! BRING IT ON, DENMARK! FINLAND AND I WILL KICK YOUR BUTTS IN A SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Spectra & Britain: *quietly leave before they can get involved in the snowball fight*

Rin: *yelling after them* COWARDS! *back to the review* MWAHAHA! :D Snowball fight time! *yells* HEY, SPECHAN, WE'RE HAVING A SNOWBALL FIGHT BEFORE WE GO TOBOGGANING!

*Spectra's groan can be heard*

Rin: :D *evil laughter* HA! NONE OF THEM CAN HIT ME! I'M INVINCI-*gets hit in the back of the head with snowball thrown by Britain* hey! *yells* WANKER! *back to review, rubbing behind head* Geez, they're trying to freeze me to death! First I'm trapped in a giant snowball-

Spectra & Britain: THAT WASN'T US!

Rin: -then Britain-kun throws a snowball at my head to shut me up! Aw, Finland-kun's such a good friend! :D Whew, the Coca-Cola gift was not a waste! :) HA! FEEL MY WRATH IN THE FORM OF SNOWBALL FIGHTS! *runs off while packing snowballs* Update soon, Hetalia Buddy! NOW C'MON, KE-KUN, BRITAIN-KUN! *grabs them both by the wrists and runs off laughing*

Love it! Anyways, the girl before you really didn't have a name. She was just the spirit of Christmas! XD
