A Summer in Philippines

Chapter 3: Hello Asian Nations!!!

Again at the Domestic Airport at Pasay City.

"Are you sure it's the right time?" Alfred asked Malea Impatiently.

"According to what each said, they should have arrived 10 minutes ago," Malea answered him while looking for some Asian Nations.

"Ah, darn it!!" Alfred said under his breath. They have been waiting for about 43 minutes already. He was getting impatient. He just wants to sleep or go to the beach or wherever Malea takes him too.

But suddenly Malea saw Korea's ahoge and saw him with his "siblings".

"They're here," Malea said to Alfred.

"Really, great!!!" Alfred was in so much delight; finally he can go back to Malea's house.

"Korea!!!"Malea called out while waving up high.

Im Yong, who heard her, was finding where Malea's voice is coming from. Then, he saw her waving her arms.

"Aniki, I already saw Philippines and somebody's with her. Hey, wait isn't that America?" Korea shouted to China while pointing to Malea's direction.

"Okay, okay. Calm down will 'ya- aru? You're as loud as ever," Yao said while walking to where Korea is.

"Did Korea-san already found Philippines-san, China-san?" Japan asked China while walking to where the two is.

"It seems so-aru. Wait I already see them- aru," China exclaimed." Hong Kong, Taiwan, If the both of you wont hurry up, will gonna leave you-aru!" As hearing this, Vietnam hurried up.

"Hey, wait up!!!" Taiwan said while running with her bags as Hong Kong followed her.

And so Taiwan and Hong Kong finally reached the four and they all went to where Malea and Alfred are. Upon nearing to where Philippines is, Vietnam ran to her and Malea also ran to Vietnam.

"Vietnam!!!"

"Philippines!!!"

Philippines and Vietnam hugged each other. Then, they started jumping and screaming.

"Okay, stop with the hug thingy. I know you're both part of the ASEAN, but it really gives me the creep," Alfred said while pulling the two apart.

"Well, it's a long time since we last saw each other, right Viet," Philippines said to Vietnam.

"You got that right Phili," Vietnam answered while giving a hi-five to Philippines. Then, they both started giggling. America just sighed.

"Aiyah, America is also here, I just wanted to spend the summer with my family and little Philippines-aru," China interrupted the scene.

"Hehe… It's still cold in America. So I said, 'why not have a vacation with my trusty friend Philippines,'" America said while patting Malea's head.

"I'm not a kid anymore, you know," Malea glared at him and puffed her cheeks. Alfred just grinned and the others laughed.

"It's nice to see you here too, America-san," Japan finally went to them.

"Hey, Japan," America greeted him back.

"Philippines! I heard the show "My Girl" was aired twice in your country!"Korea dashed to where Philippines is.

"Uh, huh. And I really liked Jasmine's (the name we gave to the female protagonist) bubby personality," Philippines replied to Korea.

"And also, I really love the plot of the story where Jasmine has to pretend to be Julian's (name of the male protagonist) long lost cousin but while she works, she gradually falls for him and vice versa and-," Philippines told Korea who in turn was nodding and agreeing and telling her other stuffs.

"What are they talking about?" America asked clueless.

"I don't know either-aru," China answered him while still looking at the two talking nations.

"Maybe some Korean drama because I heard that many Korean dramas are being aired here," Taiwan said as she and Hong Kong arrived.

Hong Kong being the observative one, asked Vietnam,"

"Are you okay that his here, Vietnam?"

"Huh?"

Both America and Vietnam and everybody else except for Philippines and Korea (who was really into to what they are talking about) looked at him.

"Oh, that, it's alright. I mean, many years has already past. We could always move on with the past, right?" Vietnam stated.

Everyone gave a big smile and were very proud of Vietnam.

Let's go back to Philippines and Korea who have been chatting all the time. This time, they're talking about a show which is called "Boys Over Flowers" (Take note, it came from the Japan's manga called "Hana Yori Dango".The live action of the manga was also aired in the Philippines by the network GMA around 2007, while "Boys Over Flowers" was aired by ABS-CBN which I think had even more impact than "Hana Yori Dango. It(Boys Over Flowers) is still aired today).

"I hate Jun Pyo's arrogantness and stubbornness. I like Ji Hoo more," Philippines told to Korea.

"Ji Hoo really did a great job while comforting Jan Di when Jun Pyo didn't tell her that he was engaged to another girl," Korea said Philippines.

"But still, Boys Over Flowers is a great hit," They both said in unison. As Japan heard the drama's title, a vein popped at his head and went to the two drama addicts.

"Korea-san, your cont copying and owning of my anime , manga, dramas and inventions is really annoying," Japan said calmly but irritated.

"But, all of that is made from Korea-daze!!" Korea replied back.

"Is not!!!"

"Is too!!!"

"Is not!!!"

"Is too!!!"

"Is-"

The rest of the nations just looked at the two bickering countries (quite childish, right?)

"Are they always like that?" America asked the eldest of the siblings.

"Sometimes when Japan snapped or whatever happens," China amswered.

"Eheheh…" the rest just… laughed?

"Philippines!"

"Philippines-san!"

Japan and korea said at the same time giving Philippines the shiver and nervousness.

"Y-yes?" she stuttered.

"Which one is the greater, Korean or Japanese drama?" The two boys said at the same time again.

"Um…" Philippines can't make a decision because she loves both.

"Well?" Korea asked.

"I…"

Korea and Japan gulped.

"So…"

Philippines had an idea that won't hurt either of them.

"Can I just say that I much like my dramas than yours?" That was her idea…

They became stones (not literally).

"Okay, stop with the dramas already. We still have to go to Philippines house-aru," China clapped his hands so that his brothers can snap out.

"Hey, Lea, have the keys with you?" Alfred asked Malea.

"Yeah!" thy all answered.

They walked in groups. America and Philippines at the front line so that they can lead the way. They were followed by China, Japan and Korea and lastly, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam.

While walking Philippines asked how they got together. They said that they met at the conveyer. And thay talked about differed things and more things and other things and I don't know anymore.

"Oh, look were her already," Philippines said and stopped in front of a Toyota Grandia (Forgot to mention, Malea has 3 Toyota cars, an Innova, a Vios and a Grandia. It was supposed to be Honda, but I don't know some of the units. I'm familiar with Toyota, so I used those three). All the nations looked at the car. China was about to say something when Japan spoke first.

"It's good that you picked a brand from MY country than from ANOTHER country that copies all my work," Japan said with sarcasm and looking at Korea.

"Are you talking about me?" Korea, who in turn, glared. "Hyundai is MUCH better than a brand name named after you," Korea faced at the other direction.

"What!? You're telling me that MY Honda is a sucker!? Can't you see that only some people use your car? In fact, you can see that almost cars in the whole world are Honda (A/N: Am I right?)!" Kiku fought back.

"Because Hyundai is much more expensive and much greater than you're stinking Honda?" Korea answered back.

"No Honda is!!"

"No Hyundai is!!"

"Honda!!"

"Hyundai!"

"Honda!!"

"Hyun-"

And the brothers started fighting again. Their siblings just sighed. And then Korea and Japan looked at each other's opposite direction like children fighting over candy. And they stopped fighting.

They put their things inside the compartment and went inside the car. And they started traveling.

(Skip the traveling part again)

They arrived at Malea' house, unpack their things and since it's still in the afternoon, they decided to watch TV. But Kiku and Malea decided to play with their PSP.

They were both playing Patapon 2. Then Kiku asked Malea, "I know you created this with me, but, what exactly is papaya?"

"It's a fruit who has orange color. Many of my people eat that," Malea said to Kiku.

"Oh,"

(At 7 pm)

They started eating. Malea served them the most famous dish in the Philippines ADOBO! She served t with chichen and pork. Then, also Pork MENUDO and CHOPSUY. She also served Bicol Express. The countries can't take the chilliness of the food well I think Korea can. We can't forget the rice , can't we?

Then, they said that it was delicious. Then they went back to watching and Malea started washing the dishes.

Then she thought something,

'What am I gonna prepare for the others?'

And so, she started thinking what food she'll gonna prepare for the next visitors. And what more trouble to come.
