Okay, so, since I'm in an already about a year old phase of Hetalia, it's hard to actually squeeze out a fanfic of some other series. I actually have watched more animes and shows other than the ones I know you know that I know (do you get that?)! I actually know the Nancy Drew series!
Anyway, since I've only seen ONE game where Nancy goes to some Asian country (Japan!), I have decided to write a fanfic, making it as similar to other games as possible: as if this fan fiction was a real game!
Nancy Drew in:
玉的寶藏 or 翡翠寶
The Treasure of Jade or The Jade Treasure (I don't know what to call it...)
Current assignment: The only assignment we have is to go to Shanghai, China on a vacation with Bess and George! They met two twins in River Heights from China named Kai-hua and Cheng-lei Zhao. Kai-hua was a client of my dad, Carson Drew, so they also know about me. They live in a large three-story house nearby the Yangtze River. Kai-hua and Cheng-lei live with their grandparents, Qiang and Tengfei, their mother, Chun-tao, their father, Jiang, and four cousins, Chang-mei, Li-ming, Keyi, and Shirong. Their aunt and uncle will arrive after a day or two. A big family in a house if you ask me!
They invited the three of us to go to China with them on their vacation. We just relax, go sightseeing, and eat food! Even though Kai-hua and Cheng-lei warn us that China is more different and that their family doesn't trust that many Americans, they say that as long as we don't compromise or insult or do anything negative to the name of their family, they're sure that they will warm up to us.
Bess and George are already in China, so I'm going by myself.
And since it's my first time going to China, and because of China's reputation...
It's going to be hard for someone to ruin this trip, full of sight-seeing, nature, beauty, and more!
And so...
Nancy arrived at the large house. "Wow... It's beautiful..." Nancy thought. Then she saw two Chinese twins. Kai-hua and Cheng-lei.
Kai-hua had long black hair, worn in a side-ponytail with a white ribbon, and a few loose strands of hair. The tails of the ribbon were tucked into the ribbon and knotted, making it look like a regular ponytail. With it, she wore a plum blossom in her hair. She wore a green qipao ending at the ankles (no leg cleavage) with silver high-heels and held a white silk fan. The outfit brought out her jade green eyes, but it was a darker, emerald-colored jade.
"A traditional outfit, apparently. But modernized," Nancy thought.
Cheng-lei was wearing a modern American-like outfit: a black shirt and white pants with leather shoes. He also had the same eyes as Kai-hua. If not for his face, Nancy would think he was American or that they were fraternal twins.
Kai-hua said, "Ni hao! Suǒyǐ, nǐ nán xī? I mean, hi! You're Nancy?"
Nancy replied, "Yes, I'm Nancy. Are you two Kai-hua and Cheng-lei?"
Cheng-lei answered, "Yeah! Of course! So you're Nancy, right? We've heard about you, from your lawyer-dad, and your friends, Bess and George!"
Then Kai-hua said, through gritted teeth because of her smiling, "Cheng-lei, you forgot to introduce!" gesturing to the detective. Cheng-lei then said, "We don't need to! She knows our names already!"
"I don't care, you have to!" Kai-hua replied. Then, Cheng-lei answered, mimicking her, "I don't care, you don't have to!"
The two then began to argue in Chinese, and shortly ended with a kick to Cheng-lei's shin. Cheng-lei said, "Fine, fine, I'll do it!" and turned to Nancy.
He then said, "I'm Cheng-lei Zhao, and this is Kai-hua Zhao,"
Then Cheng-lei said, "By the way, your friend, Bess, is really-"
"Now, now, Cheng-lei, maybe you shouldn't start talking about your personal life at this stage..." Kai-hua said, stopping him. Then she said to Nancy,
"Anything you would like to ask, just talk to me or Cheng-lei here!"
Cheng-lei added, "Oh, and you can usually find Kai-hua in her room and me in my own room. Kai-hua, guide her!" and he left.
Nancy asked Kai-hua, "That was Cheng-lei? What do you think of your brother?" Kai-hua replied:
"Yes, he can be a bit annoying... And as much as he can be fun, he has a bit of a tendency to be a little stubborn and hard-headed,"
"So you're not on good terms with your brother?" Nancy asked.
"What? Of course we are! It's just that he can go a little wild or something like that, and I have to stop him. He's energetic, fun, and he's really loyal, if not protective. He'll even try to fight anyone who insults us or do anything bad to us. That's why we all love him," Kai-hua said.
Nancy thought, "She's on good terms with Cheng-lei. I might use this to my advantage if I ever have to..."
Then she asked, "How do you know my dad?" and Kai-hua answered, "When Cheng-lei and I went to River Heights, I got accused of a crime. Then Mr. Drew offered to be my lawyer, and I accepted. Luckily, I was proven innocent. That's another reason why we know about you!"
Nancy, finally done with her questions, said, "Okay, bye!" Kai-hua said, "No problem. We set up a room for you, and Bess has her own room next to yours. George does too. They're in the third floor in their rooms. Hope you have a nice time here! Make sure you come back later in the dining room for dinner!" and Nancy walked away.
"Maybe I should take a look around," Nancy thought. "The house is big, and it'll help me know about this house..." and she went off to explore.
In the kitchen...
The kitchen was just a regular kitchen. It had a sink, a stove, an oven, windows, a fridge, cabinets, and more. However, the design was enhanced by adding cream paint, a chandelier, and the counter was made out of a refined marble design. There was a mahogany table, with dirty plates.
Nancy decided to look around, as it was her usual thing to do. Until a man about two years older than her appeared. He had a sleek appearance, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black pants, gloves, and a tie. The four words he first said were:
"So... You are Nancy."
"Who are you?" Nancy asked.
"What are you doing here?" the man, blunt, asked. "Are you snooping around our house?"
"What? No, of course not. I just wanted to take a look around!" Nancy replied. "What are you doing here, anyway?" she asked. "I'm supposed to wash those dirty dishes, clean the kitchen, and take out the garbage," he answered.
"Are you one of Kai-hua and Cheng-lei's cousins?" Nancy asked. "Yes, I am. Of course." the man replied. Then Nancy asked, "I know that Kai-hua and Cheng-lei can travel to another country. Seeing the way you're dressed... What about you?"
The man then replied, "Yes, Kai-hua and Cheng-lei can go to another country... But so can we. However, the only sibling I have who has travelled internationally other than me is the Chinese musical prodigy, Chang-mei. She excels in practically all of the grounds of the musical field. You'll know if it's her by the sound of... Anything! But her favorites are acoustic guitar, saxophone, violin, and especially piano."
"What about your other ones?" Nancy asked. "Li-ming is talented in martial arts field, specifically Chinese martial arts, like kung-fu. Ironic she hasn't been in international tournaments yet, as she is slightly more stronger than all of us combined. As for Keyi, he is currently learning a few moves from her. At first, it was by watching her through a window, but Li-ming eventually caught him. Keyi confessed that he wanted to learn, and Li-ming was flattered enough to teach him, so they're very close. Keyi's doing well," the man replied.
"Oh, by the way... I forgot to introduce myself. The name is Shirong. As for me, I'm studying at the Cambridge University of England. If I'm not, being the butler of the Zhao family, even if we have maids."
Shi-rong said all of this with a refined (yet very unsettling) voice and aura. Kai-hua was right. They don't seem to trust Nancy. For now...
Nancy replied, "I'm Nancy. Thanks for telling me who you are!" and Shirong paused before pointing a finger at her and saying, "Try not to die here."
It was an awkward pause again, until he added, "And, to make you feel at home, you're welcome to come into my room and we can have a meal any time. And don't forget to lock the door..." and he looked away to mutter something.
"Rúcǐ měilì..."
And so, he began to wash the dishes.
Nancy then went out of the kitchen to go up the second floor, slightly creeped out...
The hallway was full of red and gold, with jade decorations and beautiful furniture. As Nancy walked, she thought, "The Zhao family is rich!" and continued walking until she heard a guitar playing. Then she heard an off-key note, and a voice saying:
"Ugh! Off-key..." and after a few seconds, the song was heard again. Nevertheless, an off-key note was heard again, and the voice said, "Come on!" and Nancy heard footsteps approaching. Then the wooden door opened for Nancy to see a fourteen-year-old looking girl to appear with a guitar. She screamed, Nancy screamed, and the girl stopped. It was Chang-mei, Chinese musical prodigy.
Like Shirong, Chang-mei was just as refined, if not more. She did not have the unsettling aura, but she did have an angry one right now. Chang-mei was wearing a dark purple qipao with long sleeves and a gold trim, with a separate skirt a color slightly darker than her qipao top with a white trim, pleats, and ended at her thighs. Her hair was in a half-up half-down hairstyle. Her eyes were just like her cousins: a dark jade green.
Chang-mei then said, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? ... Whatever. Move it!" pushed Nancy out of the way, and stormed down the stairs. Nancy then thought, "If Shirong's calling Chang-mei 'refined' just to be polite, I think it would be better if he was honest..." and continued walking.
Nancy then heard a few more noises, but instead of music, she heard a scream:
"AHHHH!"
After that, Nancy heard a crash and two people laughing. Nancy decided to eavesdrop, but all she heard were Chinese sentences. Then she heard footsteps (again) and Nancy quickly stopped eavesdropping. Then the door opened to reveal a girl about two years younger than Nancy and a person about the same age as Nancy. Shirong was right: Li-ming and Keyi were close.
Meanwhile, Keyi was frowning, while Li-ming was smirking; as if she had a plan in her mind.
Keyi then said, "Were you eavesdropping on us?" and Nancy had two choices: lie, or tell the truth. Nancy then said, "I'm really sorry. I just heard, and I was really curious..." and at that, Keyi said. "WHY YOU-" but Li-ming interrupted him in Chinese.
Keyi tried to speak, but Li-ming only interrupted him until he gave up and stayed silent.
Then Li-ming, surprisingly calm, even smiling, said, "Hey, wait a minute! You're that Nancy Drew girl, the daughter of that lawyer! We'll let you off the hook... If you can beat me in a fight. Come in!" and Nancy did what she was told.
Inside, it was a rather feminine room for someone like Li-ming. It had a small fountain, a vanity, a silk bed, and a variety of necklaces hanging from the vanity. The walls were lavender and white. The only things showing her boyish side were the training equipment Li-ming had, the wall surrounding her closet decorated with posters of Chinese characters, and Li-ming's clothing: a black tank-top, slightly baggy pants the color of Communist soldier uniforms, and black flats. Her hair was tied in a long braid and the fore-arm to the palm to be wrapped in either gauze or bandages, leaving the fingers unwrapped. Two pink peonies were tucked behind her ears. Her eyes were the same as her cousins and siblings' eyes.
"All of the Zhao family has the same green eyes," Nancy thought. She continued looking around... Until she nearly got striked by a swift kick. Nancy exclaimed, "What was that?" and Nancy turned around to see Li-ming in a fighting position.
"What are you waiting for? I've heard about you fighting that famous designer in Paris, Minette! Shouldn't you beat me? Oh, and just so you know, when I'm not training, I'm not afraid to hurt people," Li-ming said.
Hmm, what do you think will happen next? Will Nancy make it or break it?
But I hope OCs are allowed here... Oh well. Meanwhile, if you want me to describe the Zhaos, I can only describe the kids so far:
Kai-hua: Serene, pretty, traditional (similar to Miwako. Huh.), and kicks people in the shin. I do not know why.
Cheng-lei: Fun, hyper, not-so-tradition (similar to Yumi! Huh!), and has a crush on Bess. Compare him to Korea from Hetalia.
Shirong (Have no idea whether I dash that or not): Tall, sleek, and talented. Is crazy handsome and women love him, yet always rejects them. (It's like Sebastian Michaelis from Kuroshitsuji!)
Chang-mei: Almost like a Chinese equivalent of Austria from Hetalia. Hmm... And owns a dog, which will be a surprise!
Li-ming: I have no idea! Just compare her with... I don't know!
Keyi: Look at the sentence right above this one.
Okay, that's all for now! Read and review!
(Arglefumph is awesome.)
