Philippines+Hetalia: Gakuen Days Ch. 7
Halloween
Buzz...Buzzzzzz….
Philippines looks at her phone and notice someone has texted her.
"Hey Philippines!" the message read. "Happy day before Halloween! We should celebrate it together. America 3"
As Philippines reads the text, she shudders and throws her phone in the trash. When she does this, Taiwan walks in.
"Why did you do that for?" she asks.
"A creeper got my number." Philippines answers. "The phone is cursed now."
(You are now imagining Hetalia's opening theme song)
"Hey Philippines!" America yells when he sees the filipina in the hallway. She tries to pretend to not hear him and tries to walk away but America catches up to her. "Why didn't you answer my text?"
"I was busy changing my number." Philippines replies.
"Don't you know how hard it was to track your first number!" the American exclaims. "Jeez Philippines. Why do you hate me so much?"
"It's not hate." she says. "I just highly dislike a creature that is very easy to hate."
"Hey Philippines! There you are." The two countries stop their conversation to see who is approaching them.
"England, it's rude to butt in people conversations." America tries to push England away.
"Yeah, America." England pushes him back. "It is rude, so why don't you just walk away."
"I like to see you make me walk away." America rears back his arm readies to swing at England before Philippines jumps in and stops him.
"America, we're in public. This is why you can't have nice things." Philippines says. America replies by mumbling something about having extra large nice things.
"So Philippines, me and some other guys were wondering if you wanted to hang out with us during Halloween." England tells hers.
"Why would she want to hang out with you. You can't even cook!" America butts in.
"What does that have to deal with anything?!" England yells at him.
"I really appreciate the offer but," Philippines starts to say.
"Aww, but Philippines!" Apparently Italy was hiding behind England the entire time and just now decided to come out. "I really wanted you to come…"
"Italy!" Philippines squeals. She goes over and gives him a big hug. "If you're going then I guess I'll have to go to!"
"Well that was a fast change in opinion." England says.
"Philippines why won't you hug me like you hug him!" America cries as a waterfall of tears fall down his face. He tries to reach for Philippines she jerks away.
"Don't touch Italy!" Philippines assaults America with her famous hit-the-guy-with- anything-you-can-grab trick. "You'll take away his innocence!" She then grabs Italy's wrist and stomps away.
=Italy "Hetalia"=
The bell rings and the class prepares to go to lunch.
"What are you guys planning to do for Halloween?" Philippines asks Vietnam and Taiwan.
"Halloween?" Vietnam tilts her head confusion. "What holiday is that?"
"The one where children terrorize you into giving them candy." Taiwan answers.
"Oh that holiday…"
"So do know what you're doing on that holiday?" Philippines asks again.
"Well we don't do much for Halloween." Taiwan says. "I mean, at least not me. In my country we just dress up, get drunk, and party all night."
"Same goes for me." Vietnam adds.
"That's all?" Philippines responds. Then she sees Korea, Japan, and China walk past the room.
"Hey guys!" she calls out into the hallway. The trio stop and see Philippines running towards them. Behind her is Taiwan and Vietnam.
"Ni-hao Philippines. Hi Taiwan and Vietnam." China greets the countries. "What are you doing?"
"Hi kuya." she replies. "I was if I could ask you guys how you all celebrate hallo ween."
"Already celebrated it." Japan says.
Philippines is surprised. "Really?!"
"Yes," Japan explains, "What we celebrate is the Obon Festival. We celebrate it around July. The festival commemorates the love ones that has passed away. The streets and rivers are filled with lanterns to guide the spirits back to the world. It's like the night sky has came from the heavens to celebrate this one festival."
"My country celebrates Halloween in two different ways " China begins to describe his Halloween. "We would memorialize our ancestors by offering food and water to them. Then we would light lanterns to 'guided' them back home. Another celebration we would hold is the Feast of the Hungry Ghost. During the festival, we would honor the dead that died unnaturally and was never properly honored after death. These spirits would feel sad and abandon so we would offer up food and gifts to them."
"Those are really cool traditions." Philippines comments.
"My country dresses up and do whatever they want." Korea says.
"Same here!" Taiwan and Vietnam say simultaneously.
"That's awesome." Korea holds his hand in the air for a high five. "To not caring about holidays!" The three countries five each other in agreement that have no cool traditions on Halloween.
"What about you Miss Philippines?" Japan asks. "What do you do?"
"Well…" she says. "While I was under Spanish rule, I would celebrate All saints day with him. I always found that holiday a bore because we would always sit out in the middle of graves surrounded by hundreds of candles. It was scary and a fire hazard at the same time. But, when I was living under America, I had so much fun. We would dress up and go trick or treating. Lately, I just sit in the house and watch my people go around celebrating Halloween."
"Your life sucks." Korea comments.
"Better than going around getting drunk and partying." Philippines retorts.
"Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do." Korea shrugs.
"Is that what you are planning to do this Halloween?" Vietnam asks. "Just to sit around and rot?"
"No." Philippines tells her. "Matter of fact, England asked me to celebrate halloween with him and some others."
"So you're hanging it out with the Europeans for Halloween." Japan says with a concern tone. "Good luck with that…"
"Is there something wrong with that?" the filipina asks.
"Oh nothing…"
=Philippines "Hetalia"=
All the countries are on the street across of the girl's dorms. "Halloween is going to be great with Philippines!" Italy says. For Halloween, Italy is wearing a gondolier's costume with cat ears. "I wonder if they even have Halloween in their country."
"Of course they do." Germany informs him. "Don't ask questions like that."
"Hey Germany," America (who is wearing a Superman outfit and is also not suppose to be there) gets the german's attention. "Where's your costume?" As you can see, the german is sporting the outfit of a his usual choosing, a green military uniform.
"My costume got burnt because I let someone cook in the kitchen and somehow they manage to burn my costume." Germany shoots glares at Italy.
"I was making pasta and I thought I was also a good time to dry your costume." Italy argues.
"You didn't have to put it above the stove!"
"I thought it would dry faster!"
"Well if you don't have a costume," China interrupts while having on a cute panda costume. "Me and Russia have a trunk-full of outfits in the car." China points at Russia-in a sunflower outfit-who is standing creepily next to the car.
"No, I'm good." Germany says.
"Cheerio guys!" Coming behind the group of countries is England and France. England is in a pirate costume and France as a plain sheet ghost.
"Why are you in such a plain outfit?" Italy points out France's sad excuse for a costume.
"I was wearing an awesome suit but England said it was 'inappropriate'" France explains.
"You were naked!" England exclaims.
"Not naked," France corrects. "Birthday suit."
"You all are already here?" The countries turn around and scream at the sight before them. Philippines is wearing a torns up wedding dress cover in blood. Her face is cover in makeup that is made to look like her face is half chewed off.
"H-h-hey P-Philippines…" the countries say (notice even Russia is scared.) "Whatcha wearin'?"
"I'm a zombie bride!" she says as she twirls in her dress. This makes everyone quiver in disturbance. "It's good isn't it?"
"Yeah, a little too good." France goes over to Philippines and tries to put his hands on her shoulders but he is too scared to touch her so he just puts them in his pockets. "You know Philippines, this is a family-friendly neighborhood. Heck this a family-friendly town. If you show up in that, well you just might scare the children."
"And the adults…" America says under his breath.
"So you just might have to change into something less…" France pauses to think of the words. "...that."
"Really," she looks at her outfit. "I guess this would scare the children. But I don't have anything else to wear."
"Just leave that all to me…" France grins.
=France "Hetalia"=
After a few minutes of drowning Philippines in makeup remover and cutting her out of the dress, Philippines ready to present to the other countries.
"And now, the new and improved Philippines!" Philippines comes out in a french maid's outfit. It is a little skimpy but Philippines doesn't mind. When she came out her new costume, half of the countries pass out by nose bleed as the other half clap over the great transformation.
"Look at my little Philippines, all grown up!" Philippines scans the group of countries and find Spain's and Romano's face among them. (If you want to know Spain is wearing a matador's outfit while Romano is a gangster...don't judge.)
"If you cover a pile of shit is ribbons and bows, it's still a pile shit." Romano comments.
"No one wants your input." Philippines snaps at him.
"Now that everyone's is here," France says. "Let's continue on with tonight's activities."
"But I'm in charge of what happens tonight." England whines.
"Stop whining, you probably had like board games plan out or something." France retorts.
"Not true!" The Britt exclaims. In reality, that was his entire plan.
"Now about tonight, there will be a treasure hunt to be taken place..." France pauses for dramatic effect. The countries listen in with anticipation. "In the most haunted place in town."
"Eh, that's boring." the countries say with disappointment. Some even leave search of something more interesting.
"The winners of the hunt get a prize!" France calls after them. "It's a gift basket of gourmet food!"
The countries turn back around when they hear that there's something in store for them. "Free food?"
"Yep." he says. "Delicious snacks from all over the world. Except England cause no one wants to eat that crap."
"Hey!"
"The object of the game," France ignores the Brit cussing him out in the background. "Is to find six Halloween pumpkins before the hour is up. The one to find all six pumpkins first gets the prize."
"Let's draw sticks to see who get paired together." France pulls out sticks and hold them out to everyone. The countries pick out their sticks and France get the stick that remains.
"Let's see… Russia and a China are a pair and so is Spain and Italy." France start to call the pairings. "There's me and England-damn it- America and Germany and lastly Romano and Philippines."
"Awww! I want to be with Philippines!" America cries. "Trade me Romano!" America grabs Romano shirt and starts to shake him.
"I would but that means I have to trade mango bitch for potato-eating bastard." Romano shoots Germany a death glare.
"Leave Romano alone." Philippines takes Romano away from America. "I would rather have him as a partner than you."
"Now, to the treasure hunt!"
=France "Hetalia"=
"Romano, we've been out here for fifteen minutes. Even Italy is in there right now." Philippines taps her foot impatiently. When they first arrived at the haunt house (or the ancient house down the street) Romano just stood outside, petrified.
"Good grief." Philippines yanks Romano by the collar and drags him into the house.
"No, no! I'm not ready!" he screams but Philippines just blocks him out.
"Get...over…your...SELF!" With one thrust, Philippines chucks Romano deep into the unstable building.
"I hate you!" Romano cries as Philippines follows after him.
"Shut up and let's go…" Philippines grabs his collar again and drags him across the floor. "The sooner we find the pumpkins the sooner we get out of here. Happy?"
"Shouldn't have let that tomato bastard talk me into this." Romano mutters.
"Why did you even come?" Philippines asks.
Romano flashes back to when Spain told him about the Halloween plans.
"You can go. I don't want to be part of such childish games." Romano told him.
"Aww, come on." Spain said. "Philippines in going to be there."
"We'll if you're going to be so pushy about it…." Romano got up from the couch. "I guess I have to go."
"Because..." he answers.
"You're hopeless." Philippines sighs. The two walk through the hallway in hopes that they could find all the pumpkins and get out of there. On the quest, the house creaks as the outside world make ungodly noises. Every time a wood plank creak or a wolf howls into the night, Philippines gets a chill down her spine. Then a low moan echos through the corridor.
"What was that!?" she squeals as she latches herself onto Romano's arm.
"That was the wind." He says as he shakes Philippines off of him. "You are such a scaredy cat." Romano starts to continue forward until he spots a small spider crawling down it's web.
"AAAHHHH!" Romano screams and jumps into Philippines arms. "Get it away! Get away! Ahhh!"
"Stop squirming and man up." Philippines drops Romano and he lands on his head. "Callin' me a scaredy cat. Lakas." the filipina rolls her eyes and then sees a cracked door.
"Get up!" she says, grabbing Romano and dragging him to the room. "Maybe we can find one in here."
Philippines scans the surrounding area. "Look over there." She shoves Romano to look in a dusty corner while she searches the shelves. She sees things that you would usually find in the Black Magic Club. There were weird liquids in jars and boxes of what Philippines hope are monkey bones. Then she finds something round and orange behind a jar of eyeballs. She puts one hand on the shelf and reaches of the item. Suddenly she hears Romano's calling to her.
"Philippines, watch out!" But it is too late. Philippines falls as the rest of the shelf falls on top of her.
"Philippines! Philippines! Wake up!" Philippines groggily opens her eyes and notices Romano right above her and the rest of the countries behind him. "You're okay. You're okay! You know you scared the shit out of me!"
"W-what happened?" she asks. She raises her hand to her head and feels something wet and warm. She looks at the red substance as it smears on her fingers.
"That rack-shelf thing fell on top of you, apparently." Spain explains. "The rest of us found out you got hurt whenever we found Romano running around with you in his arms crying for help."
"I didn't do that!" Romano yells while his face turns tomato red.
"Yes you did!" America confirms. "'You were like 'Oh God! Oh God! Someone-someone help!'"
"Shut up!" the countries laugh as they did impersonations of worried Romano.
Maybe I was wrong about Romano. Philippines says to herself. Maybe he's kinder and more courageous person than I thought he was.
Out of the blue, a random bucket falls from the sky and fell on Romanos head (not surprising since this is Hetalia.)
"Owww!" he cries as he runs to Spain. "Spain, something hit me!"
Spain pets Romano on the head and comforts him. "It's okay. Papa Spain's here."
"Or maybe not." Philippines chuckles.
