Hong Kong set a card down on the table, a nervous glint in his eyes. "Um... Five. Your turn, Korea."

Haha! Korea hadn't missed that little fumble. Eyeing the large stack of cards happily, Korea grinned. "Bull sh*t." He lifted up the top card, laughing. If Leon had to take the whole stack, the game was definitely in the bag. Now what had his brother put down? The card was-

A five of hearts.

"Seriously, da-ze?! But- how-...?" Im Yong Soo yelled, slamming his forehead onto the table. Hong Kong was freakishly good at this game. So far, he'd beaten everyone at least 3 times, making Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand give up. Korea just kept playing, in the vain hope that he'd eventually beat him. As he was going on round number 12, the odds of that happening weren't huge. Only two people Leon knew stood a chance of beating him, and he didn't think either of them were playing any time soon.

For instance, Leon's best friend, Iceland, had one of the best poker faces he'd ever seen. (Not as good as his, obviously, but it was, like, a start.) However, he made it a point to stay as far as humanly possible from the Wang house. Probably due to the fact that Taiwan and Japan set up cameras throughout the house whenever he came over. It'd wouldn't have been so bad, expect for that the cameras were broadcasting a live feed to Hungary, the Bad Touch Trio, and Taiwan's blog. Hong was too scared to even look at that. When Emil and Leon asked them about the cameras, they simply responded with something about how they wanted to catch some 'kawaii yaoi moments'. Whatever that means.

Japan, however, just refused to get involved the game, instead preferring to read some manga.

"Okay, it's, like, obvious you aren't going to beat me anytime soon, so why don't we play something else?" Hong Kong asked.

"Hm, how about Monopoly -ana?" Thailand suggested, overhearing their conversation. Toto trumpeted his agreement. Vietnam, Taiwan, and China nodded, and Japan simply continued to sit on the couch.

"Oh come on da-ze! Come play, lazy bones!" Im Yong Soo yelled to Japan. Ignoring his little brother, Kiku buried himself deeper into his manga.

Poke.

Japan felt Im Yong Soo tap his arm. Taking a deep breath, he willed himself not to snap.

Poke, poke, poke.

Concentrate, Kiku! Don't give in.

Poke. Korea used a little more force than necessary.

Poke, poke, poke-

"Enough!" Vietnam shouted, twirling her paddle above her head. "If Japan doesn't want to play with us, he doesn't have to, now stop annoying him before I -"

Poke.

Vietnam prepared to swing her weapon through the air, and on a whim Kiku pushed Korea to the ground, deciding he didn't want his little brother to get his brains splattered across the hardwood flooring.

"It's alright, Vietnam-san. I'll play." Not like I was able to focus on my manga too well anyways.

After setting up the board, it became a game of betrayal, black market deals, and general bloodthirst. But it was all in good fun, right?

Taiwan was perhaps the most reasonable out of all of them, buying only properties she thought were worth it, and then proceeding to save her money.

Vietnam's strategy was to buy up the cheapest properties and to glare menacingly at anyone who laughed when she received a bad card from the community chest, or chance piles.

Hong Kong bought only 4 properties, and spent the rest of his money on hotels, claiming, "My people need to, like, live in style!"

Thailand spent a good deal of time attempting to negotiate prices, and once he received a price he deemed 'worthy', he discussed it lengthily with Toto, causing the other 6 players to groan, stare into space, or in China's case, take a nap.

Korea bought up every single property he landed on, going as far to mortgage his properties to buy more properties. When asked why he responded with a none too shocking answer. "Everything originated in Korea, right da-ze?"

China spent most of the game complaining about the price of certain properties, but despite that, he was actually doing quite well!

Japan, however, had a rather unusual approach. The only two properties he bought were Boardwalk and Park Place, the rest of his money was either spent on houses, or saved.

In about a half hour, the game had dissolved into chaos. Im Yong Soo had been bankrupt long ago, Taiwan was scraping together enough money to pay China, Vietnam had a grand total of 5$ left to her name, and Thailand had been disqualified due to an 'accidental' knockout-inducing paddle blow to his head, after taking an exceedingly long time to decide whether or not to by Baltic Avenue.

Two minutes later, and Hong Kong, China, and Japan were the last ones left. Kiku only still being in the game due to a valuable loan from Yao, with a written promise to pay him back. Minutes passed, and no severe damage was done until...

"One, two, three... Four." Leon muttered. He had unluckily landed on one of Japan's properties, costing him a whopping 600$, making him bankrupt. Korea began to laugh, although he was effectively silenced by Vietnam pointing at Korea, then to Thailand, her paddle, and then back to Korea.

Kiku smiled.

Yao smiled.

The other five backed up (Thailand was dragged), knowing that the one who lost would most likely throw a hissy-fit.

After several anticipation filled minutes, Japan's finances were wavering. It was simply bad luck when he got a chance card charging him 200$. Focus, Kiku. All you have to do is pass Go, and you'll be-

Kiku was snapped out of his thoughts by his elder brother's voice. "Japan? I'd like you to repay my loan... Right now -aru." China grinned deviously.

"W-what?"

"It seems simple enough, China takes all, you can go home now."

And with that, Yao won at Monopoly.

A/N:

My hand slipped.

Honestly, I'm sorry for this chapter. It's probably the most boring one, and I apologize for that.

(If you guys like it, however, there may be a sequel with Mario Cart, Ninja, and mayyyyybe Slender?)

Also, this chapter took me TWO DAYS OF PROCRASTINATION and FOUR HOURS OF ACTUAL WRITING TIME.

I got quite a few reviews and PM's, and apparently you guys really wanted Viet and Thai in here, so here ya go! Their debut in The Asian Family. I know for a fact they were OOC, but I only had the Wiki as a resource, and that didn't give too much info. If you guys have suggestions in how I can improve my writing for them, please tell me!

"It seems simple enough. China take all, you can go home now." : THIS IS AN ACTUAL LINE FROM THE HETALIA DUB! Aren't you proud of me?

China demanding the loan be payed back is something I think that real-life China is eventually gonna do to the U.S.A someday, and then we're basically screwed.

You guys are utterly fantastic, and I can't thank you enough for reading this!

Also, the review contest? We are one review away from 15, so if you are the fifteenth reviewer, don't forget to put the character you want to see make a cameo in your review! (Only canon characters please, and I'd prefer it if they were characters that have slightly more prominent roles. Basically anyone but Moldova, TRNC, Macau, and anyone else who has a reaaaaalllly short wiki page.)

Do you guys even read this A/N? I'm not sure XD.

Responses to reviews:

Happy cake: Right here, right now!

Guest: :)

Yami Mizumi: Thank you!

mimi-chan and aliling-chan: Hehe, I'm glad you feel that way.

I DON'T OWN HETALIA! If I did, the Asia fam would have better relationships. :(
