Hey guys, I'm back with the new chapter! Sorry for the delay, my computer broke down. -_- I'll try my best to get these chapters posted on time!

I've been currently feeling very depressed about how I lost all of my saved work from when my computer broke down. D: I had 8 future chapters of this story saved on there! And I was working on my new PruHun fic... (Which I was very excited about posting.) *sigh* All that hard work...

Maybe it's a sign from God saying that my stories suck and that I shouldn't even bother trying. *thinks about it* Nah~

By the way, I have a new contest posted at the bottom of the page. The people who enjoy drawing should join this one! :D

April 17, 2011

The first thing that Philippines saw when she woke up were two Asian brown eyes pretty much gazing into her own. Alarmed, she grabbed the first thing she laid her hands on and hit whoever it was with it.

...It turns out she grabbed Yao.

Again.

Both people were knocked down to the floor. Maria peered at them and found Yao and Im Yong-Soo sprawled on the floor. Yao being thrown on top of Yong-Soo.

"It always has to be me, aru," Yao grumbled as he got himself to his feet again.

"Ouch, da ze. Aniki, I think you should cut down on your fried rice. You're so heavy, da ze!" Yong-Soo complained.

Yao scowled at the Korean. "Aiyah! This wouldn't have happened if you didn't freak her out, aru!"

"I just wanted to see if she was awake, da ze!" Yong-Soo pouted.

Maria watched as the two argued. Was that the only thing that countries do these days? She sighed as she looked around the room. Perplexed, she turned to the bickering Asians.

"Uh, what am I doing in a hospital room?"

The two looked at her. Then Yao spoke. "You passed out after eating Arthur's cooking, aru."

"It was a baaad idea to do that dare, da ze..."

"How long was I out?"

"About two days, aru."

"WHAT?"

"He said two days, da ze."

"..."

"What's wrong, da ze?"

"Was this because of Arthur's cooking?"

"Uh... Yes, da ze?"

With a groan, she told the two Asians to get out of the room. After changing into her regular clothes, she walked out out of the room and towards the elevator so she can go home. With a ding, the elevator doors opened and revealed Arthur.

"Oh, M-Maria! F-Fancy seeing you here..." he stuttered.

"The reason why I was in this hospital in the first place was because of your food poisoning," she said bluntly.

Arthur started to bang his head against the wall as a form of punishment. "Perhaps I should just stick to magic."

Maria chuckled at him. "Well I guess it wasn't entirely your fault."

He stopped banging his head against the wall when the elevator had brought them to the first floor. "R-Really?"

"Yup! Technically, it was also partly Romano's fault for making me do the dare," Maria said. A dark aura suddenly appeared around her. "He's a dead man when I see him."

The elevator opened with yet another ding and allowed the two countries to be exited from the Hospital (Which was much to Arthur's relief, he really didn't like that look Maria had plastered on her face).

Quickie chappie just to show that I haven't died yet. ^^; I'm really sorry... This really sucks doesn't it? :(

I've had this new fanfiction plot stuck in my head for quite some time now. The problem is that the 2P! Hetalia characters are going to play a major role in it, and I don't know much about 2P! Hetalia. So if you guys know any info on this, please PM me. :)

*Contest*

As you guys may know, has given us the wonderful option of having story cover. Now, don't get me wrong, I would draw a story cover if I could, but I can't draw to save my life. So I was hoping that one of you guys could do it! :D There are a few rules though:

1. No more than 3 images per person.

2. The image can be drawn however you want it, but it must show both Japan and the Philippines.

3. Must be colored.

And that's it! Now here's the great news: EVERYBODY IS A WINNER! Everybody who enters is given the reward of 2 one-shots each. :D Pretty neat right? But of course, I'm going to have to see effort. I'm not going to write two one-shots for someone who drew stick figures. If you entered 2 or 3 images, you still only get 2 one-shots, but your chances of being the winner are greater.

And now your probably wondering what the winner would get. The winner gets 3 one-shots and 2 series. (Oh gosh, what am I getting myself into?)

Please turn in you art work by emailing me at k_siason yahoo .com (not including spaces) OR send it to me via DeviantArt. (My username there is also 18katrina.)

I hope you guys consider this!
