Philippines+Hetalia: Gakuen Days Ch. 10
New Years
It's a peaceful day at Philippine's house. A small chill goes through the halls on this dry morning. The petite country is sprawled across her bed sleeping soundly.
"Hey." someone nudges her. Philippines growls in response.
"Heyyy." they nudge her even harder. Philippines just growls louder.
"Wake the freak up!" They push her out of the bed and she lands on her noggin.
"HOYYY!"
(You are now imagining Hetalia's opening theme song)
"I hope you step on a lego. A sharp pointy lego." Philippines curses. She is sitting at a cafe with Taiwan, Vietnam, and Japan. When they went to her house to fetch her, she nearly bit their heads of. It took them forever to even pry her from her bed. Don't even mention getting her dressed. The best they could do was put on a white shirt and her red skirt.
"Don't be such a debby downer." Taiwan tries to cheer up the cranky filipina. "Today is going the best day of your life."
Philippines crosses her arms and turns her nose up at Taiwan. "I can recall a similar predicament where you said I was going to have fun but you ended up leaving me. In the end I had to spend the rest of a day with that burger eating, beer chugging block head."
"This time will be different." Vietnam reassures her.
"Do you hear that." Philippines holds her hand at her ear. "It's my day going down the drain."
"Then we just have to do something about that then." a man with a french accent says. Philippines turns around and sees France looking fabulous in front of them.
"My day keeps getting better and better." she says sarcastically.
"I like a sexy time." France tilts his head inches from the filipina's face. "I like you."
Philippines cringes and pushes France head away from her. "Why the hell are you doing this?"
"We kind of felt bad about your party and we wanted to do something to make up for it." Vietnam explains.
"So you take me to the country that was once a great conquistador but is now a sex- drived rapist that wants to get his hands on every country on the face of the planet?"
"Wow." France says. "I never knew my entire life was going to be summed up into one offending sentence."
"No…" Taiwan tries to clear things up Philippines. "The countries wanted to take you around the world on a tour for New Years."
"And you start the tour off with France?"
"Well, you know what they say, you have to save the best for last. For that to happen you have to start with the worst."
"Before you guys actually start offending me..." France butts in. "Let's just start with the tour."
=France "Hetalia"=
The tour with France wasn't half as bad as Philippines thought it would be. He first showed them around his hottest new restaurants, museums, and art exhibits. Even a country as lowly as him had some refinement. Other than the couple of times that France tried to back one of them in a dark room (yes, he even tried this with Japan), the four Asian countries had fun.
"I never knew you had this kind of stuff here, France." Philippines says. "And here I thought that your were only a pervert that was into slapping peoples' butt, male or female."
"And what made you come up with that conclusion?" France asks.
"That one time when you slapped that Seychelles girl's butt." Vietnam gives an example.
"And mine." Japan adds.
"And don't forget that one time he tried to kidnap Austria." Taiwan says.
"Along with the rest of the Europeans." Philippines recalls.
France awkwardly chuckles and says, "Okay, okay, I get the point. As long as you guys know that now see me in a totally new point of view."
"No, not really." they say. France sighs as a sign of defeat. Right then, a certain Brit appears.
"I hope you're not leading those poor innocent souls down one of your dark basements." England comments.
"No." France says using the same snooty tone that England used. "And by the way, it's an attic."
"Well, time for me to save you from France." England wraps his arms around the four countries. "No,no, don't turn around. You'll never escape him if you make eye contact."
"Eat here while you can!" France calls after them. "You'll never stomach his poor excuse for food if you eat there!"
=England "Hetalia"=
"And to your left is the famous Big Ben!" England says as he gives the Asian a tour. "You think that is the name of the tower but it's actually the name of the bell."
In the background a loud snore can be heard. England turns around and sees Philippines passed out on Japan's shoulder.
"Philippines!" England yells.
"2x squared!" Philippines exclaims.
The Brit looks at the groggy country. "Why were you sleeping?"
"You lecturing and teaching and you know what teaching does to me." Philippines says.
"All too well." England sighs. He flashes back to time where he once tutored Philippines and how he had to keep her awake by turning down the thermostat to where it was practically snowing in his house.
"Maybe we should stop your boring tour and do something fun." Taiwan suggests.
"I think there's a carnival happening around my neighborhood. We can go there." he says.
"Great! Sounds like a plan." Philippines cheers. "Where to?"
"Well…" England looks around. He reads all the street names and glance at the buildings, but everything mush together in his head into an unidentifiable ball. "I don't know…"
"What do you mean you don't know." Taiwan says with worry.
Sweat drips down England's head. "I don't know where we are..."
"So we're lost?" Vietnam asks.
"No, no, we can't be lost." Taiwan looks at England. "We're not lost right?"
"I afraid we are…"
This makes poor Taiwan snap. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ARE LOST. HOW THE HECK CAN YOU GET LOST IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY." the Taiwanese grabs England by the collar. "WHAT KIND OF NUMBSKULL GETS LOST IN HIS OWN COUNTRY!"
"It's been awhile since I've been here!" England yells back.
"Miss Taiwan! Calm down." Japan says as he and the other countries try to pry the crazed Taiwan off England.
"Taiwan isn't usually like this." Vietnam tells England, hoping to clarify Taiwan's outlandish behavior. "She just gets nervous in stressful situations."
"Really? I never would've thought that." England manages to say.
=Taiwan "Hetalia"=
After coaxing Taiwan to not kill England for being a complete dumb-ass, the countries wandered around in hopelessness.
"I knew this was a bad idea." Philippines says. "The tour with France was better than this."
England gasp in horror. "Out of all the insults!"
"I'm sorry, England! I didn't mean it like that." Philippines goes to comfort England.
"Philippines stop comforting him." Taiwan butts in. "He needs get off his butt and show us where we are."
"I'm trying you know!" he snaps.
"Maybe we should ask someone where we are." Japan suggest.
"That's a good idea." Philippines says. She goes to the nearest stranger. "Excuse me sir but do know what this location is?"
"Boobies!"
"What?" Suddenly a man with a crazy curl leaps at Philippines breast.
"32 C!" he says.
"KOREA!" With momentum, Philippines kicks the Korean and he goes flying.
"18, 19...20! New record!" England announces. "Philippines has beaten her old record in the kicking-a-pervert-far-far-away category. Her old record was with America at 19.5 yards!"
"Philippines." Korea manages to crawl his way back to the fuming filipina.
"What have I told you about touching my breast." she says as she stomp his head in the ground. "Next time I'm sending you to the moon."
"What are you doing here anyways?" Vietnam asks.
Korea lift his head from Philippines foot and miraculously gets up. "I came here to pick you guys up for my part of the tour."
"How did you find us?' Taiwan asks next.
Korea tilts his head in confusion. "Don't you guys know you're right next to the airport." he points at the area where airplanes are taking off. "You're not that hard to find."
"Well I guess a lot of people get lost at the airport." Japan tries to make light of things.
"There's a map behind you guys." Korea points out the giant map just standing there. "This place is like made to be impossible to get lost at."
The Asians look at England with hate-filled faces. The Brit just stand there on the defensive with sweat dripping down his head. "There's a perfectly good reason for this." Sadly, this reason isn't good enough for the Asians.
"Are you sure he's going to be fine there?" Korea asks as he turns around to look at the bloody pulp that was once England.
Taiwan glances back at Englishman. "He'll regain consciousness at some point."
=Korea "Hetalia"=
"There's not a lot of people out here, are there?" Philippines comments. The streets of Korea is mostly deserted. You can only see the occasional person scurrying by.
"New Year's is usually a holiday for family." Korea explains. "Not a lot of people will be seen wandering the city because they're going spending the day with family. It's during the night when the fun really starts."
"Then why didn't we come here at night?" Philippines questions. The countries trade wide-eyed looks of worry.
"Come one Philippines!" Taiwan goes behind Philippines and pushes her to who knows where. "Let's go to one of those Korean palaces. I always want to see that!"
"Hey! Stop pushing!" Philippines exclaims. Korea shows the countries around the ancient temples. You would think that Korea would describe history about each temple but he just talks what which Korean drama was filmed at every historical building.
"And here is where Faith was filmed." Korea says.
Philippines raises her hand excitedly. "Oh, is that the one with Lee Min Ho!?"
"Why yes it is, Philippines." Korea replies.
"This is so fun." she squeals.
"I never seen Philippines so excited about learning useless facts." Vietnam whispers to the other Asians.
"She's a simpleton. One giant simpleton." Taiwan mutters.
"At least she found a subject that interests her." Japan says.
"Come one guys!" Philippine tugs at them. "Korea is going to show us where he records his k-pop!"
"Yay!" they say without enthusiasm.
"And this is where Girls Generation recorded their first album." Korea points to the recording studio.
"Interesting." Philippines has her nose stuck in a notebook, writing everything Korea says.
"I don't think this is healthy." Vietnam says as she watches the filipina hang onto Korea's every word.
"I wouldn't want to be in Mr. Korea's position." Japan glances at the Korean.
"Are you kidding?" Taiwan chuckles. "Korea loving the attention. It's the first time that someone actually cares about what he's rambling about."
"Hey," Philippines point at a room as they walk by. "Is that a karaoke room?"
Korea looks at she's pointing at. "Yeah it is."
"Karaoke…" the Asian look at each other with grins on their faces. you can guess what happens next.
"'Pon pon sent me free!'" Taiwan sings as she dances with Vietnam.
"What's up with her and that song." Korea says as he tries to tune her out. In the corner is Japan is rocking in the corner muttering to himself to make the music stop.
"I think you've done enough." Philippines takes the mike from Taiwan. Then she releases Vietnam from her hand. Vietnam falls on the couch, she head still spinning from the dancing.
"I guess it's my turn." Philippines punches her song number in the mike. Just when her song loads up and she is about to sing someone barges in the room.
"The amazing Prussia is here." the red eyed, platinum haired country announces. He takes the mike from Philippines and starts talking through it. "I have come to whisk you lame people to my awesome country."
"Brother, you don't have a country." Germany then enters the scene. "We've come to take you guys to my country."
"Get up, up!" Prussia pushes the Asian out of the room. "Time for the real awesomeness to start."
=Prussia "Hetalia"=
"Welcome to this humble country." Prussia leads the Asians into a building. Inside are people singing and dancing as they take swigs of their beers.
"A bar." Philippines says. "This your idea of a tour."
"Hey, do want to drink or listen to Germany go on and on about his boring landmarks?" Prussia asks
"I having interesting places." Germany argues.
"What, Auschwitz?"
"No." he says. "Plus, Auschwitz is in Poland."
"Whatever." Prussia brushes the subject away. "Why don't you show these countries the bar."
"Okay." Germany takes Philippines and the others to the bartender. "Order what you like."
"I would like some sake." Japan orders.
"Okay." the bartender says. Seconds later he gives Japan a large glass of beer.
"Um, I ordered sake." Japan pushes the drink away from him. "This is beer."
"Both is alcohol." he says. "Sake is a wimp drink. Beer is the real stuff."
"But…" before Japan can speak, he find the bartender forcing him to chug the beer. Tears start to form in his eyes.
"Yes, that is how you do it!" he bursts in deep laughter as he watch Japan drink the jug. He then refills the glass again. "Drink, drink!" He pats Japan on the back as he drinks his second glass thus making him choke.
"And you." the bartender turns to Philippines.
"What do you have?" she asks.
"Beer, just beer." he replies
"Okay...get me an order of that." she says.
"Hey Germany, is that a girl I see you with." one of the drinkers say, noticing Philippines sitting next to the German. "Look guys, Germany brought a girl here."
"You mean he's straight?" another one says. "Dang, there goes fifty bucks."
"Why do they think you're gay?' Taiwan asks Germany.
Before Germany can answer, the bartender speaks up. "He's always bring that white wine drinker here. What was his name?"
"Italy!" the whole bar answers.
"We wondered about him. We wondered…" a drinker comments.
"Ha! They thought you were queer!" Philippines hiccups. Beside her are five empty glasses.
"How did you drink that many in such a short time!" Germany exclaims. He watches as the filipina orders another glass.
"You picked a keeper." the bartender chuckles.
Many, Many Drinks Later...
"Is she drunk yet?" Japan whispers to Taiwan.
"Let's see." Taiwan turns to Philippines and yells," What's the name of that Mexican brother of yours?"
"You mean Juan Carlos Fernandez Carriedo?" Philippines calls back.
"No, not yet." Taiwan answers Japan. After a couple of drinks Philippines stumbles towards her friends
"Hey guys!" she slurs. "Did you know I have a lot of islands?"
"Yeah sweetie." Taiwan tries to coax Philippines to a seat but she just stood there.
"I have like a million islands." she tries to drink more but realizes she's out. She goes to get more. "It's like my islands have islands of their own. Almost like… they had island babies."
Taiwan goes behind the country and pushes her out of the bar. "I think we should get out of here before you get anymore drunk. Not like you can get any more drunk than this."
Philippines just mumbles to herself as she leaves the pub. "I wonder how you make island babies…"
=Philippines "Hetalia"=
"Are we there yet?" Philippines asks her friends.
"Almost." they say. After tearing Philippines from the pub, the Asians flew to their last destination. The day turn into night as millions of people in the country prepare themselves for the New Year.
"You can open you eyes now." Taiwan says. Before Philippines is a giant city illuminated by its lights. The streets below are filled with many people and above them is a big, shiny ball.
"This isn't McDonald." Philippines says. In front of her appears a man blonde and obnoxious blue eyes.
"Yo, Philly." America says.
"Oh crap!" Philippines yells. She tries to leave the roof but the others stop her. "Why am I in America?! What were you guys thinking when brought me to America? He's the last person I want to see. Who's idea is this?"
"That would be me." America speaks up. Philippines turns to him. "The whole tour was my idea. I got the other countries to go along with it. If you want to get mad, get mad at me. I just wanted to make up what I did at your Christmas party."
"This was why you guys got me drunk ." she looks at her friends. "To numb my reaction when you got me to America. Unbelievable. I'm leaving."
Before she could go, America grabs her arm. "Come on Philly, don't go. Stay. Let's put this old year behind us and start this one with a clean slate. That's why they call it New Years. Please..."
In the background, you can hear the chanting of the people counting down. Philippines sighs. "Fine."
"Three...two...ONE!" the ball drops. America pushes Philippines' hair out of her face. Then he leans in and gives her a full on kiss on the lips. Following him are other couples keeping the American tradition.
"Happy New Years." he says before Philippines knocks the lights out of him.
