A/N: PastaWithWhiteFlag here. I posted last time about Netherlands and after 1 day, there's only 1 review from out readers. Only one? :( That was sad(?) Hehehe. I need more reviews when I post more chapters. . But this time, I'll do my best in writing this chapter and it's about Finland and his song entry. What will his reaction after he sees who's the winner in national selection before the prestigious event? Find out.
I added Sealand for some hint of humor. :D
"I must finish all these cleanings and preparing dinner before I watch that national finals. And I still have a couple of hours before the show.". Finland talked to himself while cleaning the whole house.
It was a middle of cold night city of Helsinki where Finland lived in his house together with his white and fluffly dog named Hanatamago and his 'adoptive' child, Sealand. After doing his errands all over the house, he went to the kitchen to get some snacks in the fridge. He grabbed a bottle of juice and a can of nuts and hurriedly went to the living room for him to join Sealand watching the television. He sat besides the younger nation and placed the snacks on the coffee table in front of them.
"Peter?". He glanced at the younger nation. "Would you like anything from the kitchen like snacks or drinks? I'll go get some for you.".
He looked back at his guardian and he shook his head. "No thanks. I'm still full from eating dinner. Maybe later when my stomach starts complaining again.".
The Finn nodded and went back watching. But there was one thing that struck his mind was the show about the finals. He asked Sealand for the second time.
"Peter? Would you change the channel for a minute?".
"B-But I'm watching anime. Give me a few minutes." Sealand protested, holding the remote firmly.
Finland sweat dropped and begged. "You know what? That Papa Finland will sing in upcoming Eurovision last time? How will I know who will be the winner in the nationals if you won't change the channel.". He laughs nervously, looking at the child. "Please? Just this once and I'll let you go watching Japanese stuff.".
Sealand looked at him for a second then sighed and gave the remote and leaned his shoulders with arms crossed, making a pouting expression on his face.
Finland took the remote and chuckled. "Finally!". He changed to YLE channel where they broadcast the final show. "Don't worry, Peter. I'll give you the remote after the show, okay?". He comforted the upset nation.
Once he switched the channel, he missed the performance of the contestants and the voting where they're about to finish before the announcer declares the winner. Finland looked at the percentage votes of the contestants starting from the bottom until he noticed the top contender who has a big number of votes.
The announcer had finally spoke to the viewers about the winner, giving a chill feeling for Finland. Sealand just observed what would happen next.
"And the winner of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu national song contest is... KRISTA SIEGFRIDS!". The crowds were starting to shout, scream or even freaked out about the winner of the competition.
The Finn had a mixed expression on his face followed by emotions inside. He couldn't show his feelings after he heard the announcement. He whispered himself. "I haven't... heard of her song much. What is her song again? M-Marr-". Before he continued to whisper coming from his mouth, Sealand looked and poked the guardian's shoulder.
"Hey papa. Are you okay? You don't look amused on the results. Isn't it?".
Hanatamago climbed on Finland's lap and barked towards him.
He glanced back and shook his head, trying to act normal. "Uhhh... yes. I just got surprised on the winner and other stuff.". He nodded and faced back at the television.
The host spoke to the viewers about the winner and gave his closing introductions before the winner performed again on the stage. "Before this show ends, let's hear our winner, Krista Siegfrids with her song, "Marry Me".".
When Finland heard the title of the song, he blushed as red as a tomato and spoke up. "M-Marry Me? That is... a good title of the song. I can't wait to hear the full version.".
The winner of the nationals went up to the stage with his dancers and back-up singers. The ding-dong of a bell and a loud pop background music started to play. She began to sing.
Spying on you undercover, drinking coffee with your mother
Am I getting closer?
Baby, I feel like a sinner, skipping dinner to get thinner
Where is my proposal
Finland started to blush again while watching the performance. He shook his head. "No...No...".
I'm your slave and you're my master
Oh baby, come on, take your shot
So marry me, I'll be your queen bee
I'll love you endlessly
I do it for you, for you, for you
Yeah, I do it for you, marry me, baby
'll play your game, I'll change my last name
I'll walk the walk of shame
I do it for you, for you, for you
Yeah, I do it for you, marry me baby
Oh oh, oh oh oh, ding dong
Oh oh, oh oh oh, ding dong
Sealand bursts out of laughing at the television, putting his hands on his tummy. "T-This... will be your... song entry? Oh no! ... I can't breathe! Stop!. I just can-". He didn't finish his words due to his continuous laughter.
The song continues.
I know where the future's heading, I can see my perfect wedding
Isn't that just bracing?
I don't think there are no ladies who will give you cuter babies
Isn't that amazing?
While listening to catchy music, Finland was still blushing and think himself. "What would my Nordic friends react on this song? I can't sing this song on the stage watching thousands of people all over Europe! What would Sweden's reaction? Holy Martin Luther this is so embarrassing!".
The part of the song continues to play.
This is the day, I don't wanna wait much longer now
If you run away, I'm gonna find you anyhow
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Whatchu waiting, whatchu waiting
Whatchu waiting, whatchu waiting for?
The chorus came back until the performance was finished, made the fans clapped their hands with a yell.
Suddenly, the phone rang at the kitchen. Finland stood up and rushed to the kitchen to pick up the phone. He saw the caller ID and it's his close neighbor nation, Estonia.
"Oh, E-Estonia.". He spoke nervously.
"Finland? I know how you feel.". He laughed a bit. " I watched the nationals and... I hope the rest of European countries not to laugh at you while performing on the upcoming Eurovision.".
The Finn fainted together with the phone dropped on the floor.
Estonia heard the commotion in Finland's, he hanged up on the phone conversation. "F-Finland? T-Tino? Are you okay there? Finny? Hello?".
Sealand heard the loud clamor at the kitchen. He jumps from the sofa and ran in the kitchen. He saw his fainting guardian on the floor. "PAPA!". He shouted and tried to carry Finland but he's too heavy. He put down his knees and starts poking Finland's cheek repeatedly. "Papa! Say something~! Wake up!". He started to worry.
The Finn slowly opened his eyes and asked the younger nation. "Tell me kid. Am I dreaming?".
Sealand shook his head and giggles a bit. "Nope. You're not dreaming and...". He chuckles at him. "Good luck in Eurovision.". He laughed for the last time.
Finland shook his head saying the 'no' word continuously and fainted again.
