"SAMANTHA! LOUNG! GET IN HERE!" China shouted from the living room. The two individuals peered out of their rooms, glancing at each other with questioning expressions, before traveling cautiously down the hall.

"What is it?" Loung asked, raising a thicker brow.

"Where is my panda?" China demanded, crossing his arms and glaring at his brother.

"What makes you think I know, teacher? I've been looking for my camera all morning." Loung growled.

Sammi pursed her lips. "Interesting."

Yào raised a brow. "What is so interesting, aru?"

"Well, I don't really know about the whole panda situation, but did you hear about what happened to Dreamz and Annalise? Someone, or, well, a group of people that call themselves SASS steals peoples' belongings and blackmail them to do some really embarrassing stuff." Sammi explained.

Loung smirked slightly, "Yeah, we all saw what happened to England, France, and Annalise last time. That was hilarious."

"Do you think this SASS stole panda?" China asked, pursing his lips slightly as his eyes narrowed.

"I mean, it's possible. Did they leave a note?" Sammi inquired. "Dreamz said they left her, like, two or three notes about the blackmail stuff."

"I would not even know where to look for a note." China stated in irritation, obviously flustered about the disappearance of his furry companion.

"Yeah, and I think I would have see a note. I've been searching through my room all morning. And I'm not blind." Hong Kong explained.

"Well, Yào, since Panda is a living creature, and he's more important than a camera, I'll help you find Panda." Samantha decided.

Hong Kong placed a hand on his heart, blinking with a false hurt. "Ouch, Sammi. That really stings deep down."

She giggled. "Sorry, Loung. After we find Panda, I'll help you out."

Loung nodded gratefully, before turning and heading to his bedroom to continue searching.

That's when he spotted the dreaded white note.

"Please no." He whispered, reaching forward and unfolding the note. Part of him was interested to see what it said. Part of him was... Very fearful of what it might say.

Dear Hong the Kong,

Hi, I don't believe we've formally introduced ourselves! But I think you've seen our work, right? Yes, we are correct. Don't worry about it. It's Gucci.

ANYWAYS, we're sure you've noticed by now that your photography device is missing. That is sehr tragic, so we decided to help you get it back! All you have to do is wear the outfit we selected for you. It's located in the bathroom, and we suggest getting in there before your brother finds his note. Wouldn't want to accidentally wear his get up.

See you at the world meeting,
SASS

"What have I done to deserve this?" Loung muttered to himself. "I'm a good kid. I've never done anything wrong to anybody but teacher. This is so uncool."

Suddenly, his door flew up revealing a very alarmed Yào and a wide-eyed Sammi.

"SASS stole Panda, aru!" China yelled, shoving the note into Loung's chest. "Read it, left to right."

"I know how to read English, old man." Loung rolled his eyes, and unfolded the letter.

Dear Yo-yo,

We have your bear. It is adorable and we are in love! We decided to keep it, actually, so, sucks to suck.

Well... Okay, you can have them (Him? Her? We can't find a hole or a penis, so we'll go with the more neutral route) back, but only on one condition. You have to wear a very... Special outfit.

It'll be fine, don't worry. Everyone will be laughing, but they'll be laughing at you, not with you... Oh, wait... Never mind, we're just gonna go. See ya later, alligator.

Your's dearly and truly,
SASS

P.S.
Lolz, I almost wrote out what SASS actually meant. The others would have totally killed me. But it's cool. I didn't. No worries.

"This is beautiful." France smiled. "This almost makes up for me having to wear a trash bag. Almost. Not quite. I will still destroy the people who did that to me."

Annalise placed a comforting hand on Hong Kong's shoulder. "Been there, bud. It doesn't last forever."

Hong Kong sighed, shifting his weight. He was wearing a fluffy purple dress that was embroidered all along the top, with a tiara on his head, and paired with sparkling silver heels. He looked up at Iceland, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

"Yo." He greeted, giving him a small wave with a gloved hand.

"No." Iceland shook his head.

China, on the other hand, stood in the corner, facing the wall, in a white chicken costume.

"Yào, come on, just do the dance. One time. I will literally give you all the money in my wallet if you do the dance." America jeered, a wide smile on his face.

Shelby leaned into his side, "You didn't bring any money."

"Dude, shut up, this'll be hilarious."

"Don't tell me what to do."

"China, I think you look much like bird of prey. That is goal of this, correct?" Russia smiled.

"Goal of this is to get Panda back." Yào sounded almost like he was crying.

"This is ridiculous. I know that this group of hooligans is in this rooms. The cowards of SASS need to show themselves right now. Or face the consequences." England hissed.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.

"I happen to think it's pretty funny." Thaovy smiled.

"That's it!" Australia shouted. "Cuff her!"

"You can't arrest her because she finds practical jokes funny. It's freaking hilarious!" Seborga laughed.

"That's it, he's in it!" Prussia pointed. "SASS stands for Seborga, America, Spain, and South Italy!"

"Don't drag me into this, you yeasty, red-eyed, starch sucking bastard!" Romano yelled.

"That was easily the best comeback you've said yet." Hope complimented.   

"You guys can't just throw people under the bus. It's idiotic." Shelby grumbled.

"Shelby did it." Dreamz stated.

"Oh, that's mature." Shelby responded, her eyes glaring. "How you we know it wasn't you?"

"I WAS THE FIRST VICTIM!"

"THAT'S THE PERFECT COVER!"

"Will you all shut up please? I am getting a headache." China grumbled, grabbing his head.

"We'll shut up if you do the dance." Alfred smiled. It did seem to work in terms of quieting the others, and all eyes fell on the Asian in the corner.

Mexico flipped out his phone and began playing the chicken dance song.

China sighed in defeat and turned around. He began clapping his fingers together like beaks, before flapping his arms like wings, and then bending slightly and shaking his butt.

"This is literally something I will treasure for the rest of my life." Taylor smiled as she whipped out her phone to record the spectacle.

"Same." Jenna nodded, stroking her chin as though she was inspecting art.

Samantha covered her face, which was turning red. "I don't know if I should laugh or be embarrassed." She whispered.

"I'd be a little bit of both." New Zealand commented.

When the trio arrived home, both the camera and the Panda were set on the floor, with a pristinely folded note in the middle of the two.

You know, world meetings used to be really boring before we got together ;)

S to the A to the double S

Here's the deal. I will tell you guys who SASS is IF you can guess all three members at the same time.

Now, saying, "It's America, Canada, and Mexico." Will not earn you any confirmation. You have to ask. Like, word it as a question.

For example, "Is it America, Canada, and Mexico?"

I will answer that privately. If you are correct... Well, I'm not gonna tell anyone you guessed it. If you want to tell everyone else who it is, that's your business.
