Pre-note:
Regarding my last chapter:
Thailand and Vietnam are spending time with each other as boyfriend and girlfriend instead of with family on "Global Family Day", because they don't really have any family members (in my opinion).
Andre januar:
Cuba:
Carlos was surprised and a little pleased that Chernenko had sent him a text, congratulating him on this day. And begging him not to annoy Alfred, no matter how tempting it was. It still took him by surprise that after all this time of them as a couple, she would still so carefully demand things while apologizing furiously.
Japan:
Sometimes, Kiku would just love all the wonders of technology, this was one of those times. It enabled him to stroll around Hongaku-ji, and still follow the celebrations at Sakanoshita. Him and Mei.
-Don't you wish you were there in person? Mei asked him.
-Hai, but if I had been there today, I wouldn't have been able to be here with you. Showing you the temple and drinking sake with you.
-Yao would be furious if he knew that you were letting me drink alcohol.
-With the deepest respect towards your aniki, it was not a matter of "letting you". More of a, not stopping you, because I firmly believe that you're old enough to make decisions on your own. But, in the event of him finding out, we might as well enjoy some more sake, don't you agree?
-I do. Mei replied while leaning her head on his shoulder. Then something caught her eye. What's that boy doing? She pointed to one young boy, around school age, whom was sitting and, apparently, painting something on a piece of paper, using a book on his lap as an underlay.
-I believe he's doing his first calligraphy of the year. It's called Kakizome, and it's a normal homework assignment during the winter holidays. Traditionally, it was executed on this day. He frowned. I really think that he should've picked a better place to his homework.
-Maybe he wanted to do it as traditional as possible.
Knights Templar:
1169
There was little that Knights Templar could do, but hold Bertrand de Blancheforts hand as he lied there, dying.
Out of all his Grand Masters, Blanchefort was the one whom had reformed the order to which he personified, to become guardians not brutes, just the way he, Knights Templar liked it.
He knew that a new Grand Master, the seventh, would soon take his place, but he couldn't help it; he was going to miss this one personally.
Liechtenstein:
Despite their best efforts, Basch and Lily had ended up staying out late last night. So, when her boss had called and asked her what festival she was attending, she'd just said the first thing that crossed her mind,
-Masks.
Luckily, for Lily, her boss understood what she meant, and didn't ask any questions. Lily then laid in bed, giving herself five minutes, then ten, then another five, before she finally got up. She called Feliks to let him know where they were going, and then she went to make some breakfast, wake her brother up, and let him know that she was going to Hallwil with Feliks. He always did worry about her.
Scotland:
Alistair Kirkland would've loved more than anything to celebrate New Year Holiday. Unfortunately, because he'd a massive hangover from drinking the night before, of course waiting until Peter was tucked in, he could do little more than lay in his bed and groan.
South Africa:
Like all African Nations, South Africa could remember the days of slavery. Although South Africa was glad that it was over, South Africa loved to come to Cape Town every year on this day. To be a part of the celebration that was so unique to this city. South Africa was just sorry that it was the result of the terrible happening that was slavery.
Still, South Africa remembered what Arthur had told her when she had asked him how he, with his history of invasions and being occupied, could've done what he did to South Africa. Arthur had sighed and said,
-It's not easy for a Nation to see what he or she is doing to others, is the same as what's been done to them. Or even get perspective on what they're doing. It's the same problems humans have, only difference is, we're more stubborn, because we're more often right.
Switzerland:
Despite their best efforts, Basch and Lily had ended up staying out late last night.
Basch didn't wake up before Lily woke him up saying that she was heading out to Hallwil with Feliks. Although he knew that Feliks wasn't going to try anything suspicious with Lily, Basch was still reluctant to let her go alone with him. But, he relented, eventually.
So, while Lily went with Feliks to Hallwil, he went with Michelle to Vaud.
Basch would never admit this to anyone, but the reason he chose to go Vaud with Michelle, was because it was a French-speaking canton.
USA:
-Come on, Iggy! We got to get to those creampuffs before they're gone!
-Why are you so eager to eat creampuffs today of all days? Arthur had barely been in the country for four minutes, when Alfred dragged him to the nearest creampuff stand in the city they were in, Chicago. And shouldn't you take it easy after you drank all those Bloody Mary's yesterday?
-Dude, today's National Creampuff Day! We've to eat creampuffs! It's like a rule! And the real question is, why aren't you, hangover from yesterday? I heard from Francis that all your brothers, except Peter, had the hangovers of their life.
-First; I thought today was the start of National Buffet Week. Secondly; It was impossible for me to drink enough to get pissed, because you kept sending me those text messages, insert you bloody, romantic git. Third; What the bloody hell were you doing with the frog?! The frown that had disappeared when Alfred had hopingly come to greet him, re-appeared.
-Well, one; It is! But it's also National Creampuff Day! So, he said while continuing to drag Arthur, after we've eaten creampuffs, I'll take you somewhere we'll eat buffet food. Two; Anything for you Iggy. Three; He texted me! The pout that appeared on his face, disappeared almost immediately when they arrived at the stand.
It was a rather peaceful day, until Alfred dragged Arthur off again. Because, "It's also National Science Fiction Day, Iggy!". Any protests Arthur had about Alfred being too obsessed about his country's observatory days, was cut short when Alfred promised on his video games that they would watch Doctor Who.
Author's notes:
I don't own Hetalia, Hidekaz Himaruya does, and I swear I'll post some more Pottertalia ASAP.
I just've been swamped a little lately with my internship and all. Got a meeting on Monday to determine my future. Wish me luck!
PS: If you feel offended, or you notice something that's just plain wrong; please let me now. I'm trying my best to write as good as possible
