[ Guess who's going on a date in Okinawa guess guess guess I'll give you three chances. It isn't summer, sure, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good time to go to Okinawa, or to Japan at all. Taiwan is waiting by the front entrance of Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, clutching the handle of her bag and swaying a little as she waits for Japan to arrive.

[ Japan forgetting things is not a thing that happens. Most of the time, anyway. See, being an old man is hard... but anyway, Japan usually gets to places about fifteen or half an hour early himself, but today he somehow makes it around a few seconds early instead of most. There was traffic or something apparently. He's running furiously towards the entrance, very aware that he's only got a few seconds until he'll be considered late (in his own eyes), but slows down when he notices Taiwan and gets closer until he is walking up to her instead. ]

Taiwan-san, [ he says a little breathlessly, and bows politely to her in greeting ] Good afternoon. Ah, I apologize, did I make you wait?

[ Taiwan lights up when she sees him. He's here!!! She even has to stop herself from jumping in joy. ]

Japan! [ She shakes her head. ] Mm, I just got here. [ Which is a total lie. ] Are you okay? You look a little tired...

Is that so... that's a relief. [ He stands up straight again and nods. ] I am fine, please don't worry. It is simply the natural tiredness of an old man. [ Being old is convenient when you need an excuse!! ]

[ Wow Japan you only like look 22 get out. ]

Aiyo. [ Puts a hand on her cheek, still a little worried. ] If Japan says he's okay, then it should be okay. [ She reverts back to her cheery self and tugs on Japan's sleeve. ] Well then, let's go! I want to see the dolphins and the whale sharks and other fish and stuff, you know!

[ Letting go of Japan, Taiwan heads toward the entrance to get tickets with a spring in her step. Even after all this, she's still a kid. But she's so full of energy today! Don't ruin it... ] Come on!
