Cooking Contest
...
Another fair day for another boring world meeting for the nations. Nothing ever comes to fruit in these meetings. However little did they know, a simple topic of argument could lead to craziness and chaos.
"At least I cook better food unlike your awful scones!"
"Excuse me!? My scones taste perfectly fine!"
"Really? Let's settle this with a cook off then!"
"You're on frog!"
-Time skip-
"Then..." Germany rubs his forehead. "Why are we involved in this cooking contest?"
"Well, the person who requested it wants to see the rest of us having a cook-off and the author doesn't want to let whoever requested it down, oui?" France replied.
Malaysia raised his hand. "Yeah but why us as well?"
"Yeah, why us da-ze?" South Korea asked.
France shrugged. "A reader's request."
Malaysia raised his hand again. "Why held it at my place?"
"Author's wish." France replied again.
Then, Denmark, Prussia and Spain pop into the show.
"Then let's see who's facing who!" Denmark exclaimed, pulling out a piece of paper.
Prussia snatched the paper from the Dane's hand and reads out the contents "Eh...we have England vs France, China vs India, America vs Russia, Italy vs Germany, South Korea vs Japan and finally Indonesia vs Malaysia."
"So let the cooking contest begin!" Spain exclaimed.
"The winners of each will have a special reward while the losers...well, can't say! Good luck!"
...
On a field where people used for relax or for a stroll, cooking utensils were already prepared at the scene. There, England and France, Malaysia and Indonesia were glaring at each other non-stop. Some were even thinking that those four should be one big family.
"Japan~, if you lose, your breasts are mine da-ze!" South Korea proudly exclaimed.
"Ve~ Germany, it's going to be a lot of fun~!"
"Indeed, I wonder whether I should use my pipe, da?"
"I am fighting for the best cooked title in Asia!"
The judges, sitting at their respective places are Canada, Belgium, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Seychelles and Turkey (he's in the Gourmet Club in the anime). All of them will judge fairly in this cooking competition. While the judges do their judging, we also have Prussia and Denmark as the commentators.
Egypt holding a board that writes Round 1: England vs France with Singapore sitting next to him.
"Let me show you what real food taste like mon ami." France said, smirking.
"As if your food taste any better than the others." England retorted.
So the two began cooking. France's cooking is beginning to make people drool especially Seychelles and Italy. The beautiful smell of whatever he's cooking is simply irresistable while England...
Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, India and a few others scowled and glared at England's supposed 'food'. What is that thing? Whatever it is, it's been mosaic already and enough to the worst criminals to discard their pride and beg on their knees.
P: Hey Denmark, looks like Franny is cooking up something great there!
D: Yeah, it looks delicious! I can't wait to eat it.
P: Agree with ya but what's with England there and-holy, what is that thing!?
D: Yikes! It's like monster mixed with whatever dark creatures here in this world.
HK: Can we just let France win already?
M: Please lah, I don't wanna see or eat that thing!
T: I'm with those two there!
C: Aiyah, at this rate, we're going to die from that thing
D: How about it Prussia? The results is pretty obvious already.
P: Let France win already! Ain't no way WE are going to try THAT!
So what do the judges think? There are five ways of judging, which is delicious, good, satisfactory, bad and horrible. My dear judges, please write down your score. You only have 30 seconds to write it down.
*Drumrolls*
"Judges, please show your score for...France!" Prussia yelled over the mic.
Delicious, delicious, good, satisfactory, delicious and good!
"Wow, it looks like France is off for a good start." Denmark said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Now for England's score, judges!"
Bad, bad, bad, horrible, bad and horrible and also a couple of extremely and terribly horrible from a few.
"My cooking isn't that bad! And you bloody gits, you are not even judging!" England yelled.
Hong Kong rolled his eyes "We can tell what good food is already thank you very much."
The others nodded in agreement.
-Round 2: China vs India-
Finally, the battle everyone has been anticipating the whole time. The battle of wits, skill and also...for the title of the best cook in Asia among these two very elderly nations in the Asia continent.
"One day I'm going to snatch the title of the most populated nation from you China." India threaten.
"Dream on you Bollywood lover! I'm going to show everyone that my cooking is far superb than yours!"
A huge fiery aura surrounded the two making the temperature of the battleground shot up.
D: Woah check out that aura Prussia!
P: Kesesese, it's gonna be an interesting one Denmark!
AUS: Though I wonder who's gonna win
D & P: Good question
Both Denmark and Prussia paused before turning to look at the nation next to them. A powerful nation in the nation of kangaroos and koala bears.
"Er...Australia, what are you doing here?" Prussia asked.
Australia simply grinned and reply "Watching the battle of course! I'm betting with Hong Kong on who will win!"
The two glanced at Hong Kong who had just left his position as judge and is now rooting for China to win.
"We're missing a judge now." Denmark pointed out.
"No we're not. Zea is taking Hong Kong's place right now." Australia said, pointing to New Zealand and his sheep between Belgium and Vietnam.
"Ok..."
...
P, D & AUS: It's judging time judges!
P: Looks like India prepared his most famous curry, smell and taste good as well
D: Oh India might have to back down since China prepared his weapon-the Peking Duck! All of it are making me drool already.
AUS: Come on India, win for me!
The judges each taste the Indian man's food. Canada's curl created a love sign, Belgium's eyes widen, whiskers appearing on her face, New Zealand's sheep kept hopping around, Vietnam...she gave a thumbs up sign, Seychelles's two pony tails kept flapping while Turkey gave a double thumbs up.
D: Check out the reactions of the judges!
P: Is that even possible?
AUS: It's hilarious mates!
"And the score is..."
"Delicious, good, good, delicious, delicious and delicious! A really good score! As expected from India's curry!"
India gave China a smirk, earning a glare from the Chinese.
China then served his fried rice to the judges. Here are the reactions, Canada's curl shot up into a straight line, Belgium's whiskers grow longer and twitch a little, New Zealand's sheep making even more strange noises, Vietnam...indifferent, Seychelles's jump into the air while her two pony tails kept flapping while Turkey, no, Italy's eyes were wide open.
D: Woah! Their reactions are so priceless! Hahaha
P: How are those things even possible!?
AUS: Hahaha, good one mates!
"Judges, the score!"
"Delicious, good, delicious, normal, delicious, delicious!"
"What!?" China asked before sprinting over to Vietnam. "Don't you like my chao fan (fried rice in Chinese) aru?"
Vietnam rolled her eyes and said "You cooked it every family reunion that the taste becomes normal now and now that Malaysia could even create a taste which blends new with old."
India's smirk widens even more. "I win China. Now I shall-"
Malaysia, among the crowd, waved his hand, trying to get the attention of other nations. "Can I plan what punishment Bang China shall have?"
Before India could go any further, Malaysia puts on his best puppy dog eyes. "Please Bang India..."
India sighs. "Alright, go ahead."
Malaysia grinned. "Well...Belang does need a little clean up after eating his food messily...hehe."
India blinked before a huge grin formed on his face China's eyes widen and shook his head. "No! Anything but that aru!"
"Then be Belang's playmate for a week or two." Malaysia suggested.
"No."
"Hmm...no choice then. I'll have KL steal Panda to play with Belang since you refused."
"Malaysia aru! I'll do it! Just spare Panda aru!" China begged.
Malaysia smiled. "Xie Xie (TQ) Bang China, Belang would be so happy to hear this! Oh but I do need someone to clean up after Belang's mess, my last worker quit and I'm looking for someone to do it. Whoever loses shall battle it out again and of course the loser would be cleaning Belang up."
Many shuddered at the thought especially Singapore. That tiger is definitely not gonna make it easy for anyone especially with how stubborn that tiger is. But that person will be fine if Belang likes that person.
"Oh I do not want England to do it!" Malaysia chipped in again. "I have a better punishment for him."
"Oi, how about Hong Kong, Malaysia?" Australia suggested, laughing out loud.
Hong Kong shot him a glare. He miscalculated Vietnam there.
-Round 3: America vs Russia-
Philippines shivered as she wrapped her arms around herself. "Since when did it get so cold in Malaysia?"
"Since Russia enter the battlefield." Brunei replied.
Indeed Brunei is right, the Russian man, strangely though have a quite a chilly aura around him. Still having the childlike smile on his face, Russia heads off where the cooking utensils are placed.
"This is gonna be fun da?" Russia asked.
America gulped. He's a hero, surely he can win, right? Heroes always win!
-Time Skip-
"Can't believe I lost..." America sulked.
"Da, it was fun. Thanks again America." Russia said, smiling.
Well, it was nothing special. Russia has his own food while America...burgers and hotdogs in which the judges don't want to try and since America kept making a fuss, the judges just have to conclude that Russia's food is better just to shut America up.
-Round 4: Italy vs Germany-
"Ve~, I'm gonna make some pasta~!" Italy said.
At the judges panel, Belgium waved at the Italian nation as he started cooking what he usually cooks-pasta.
"Kuya (big brother in Tagalog) Italy! Do you best!" Philippines cheered.
"Don't let England's presence get to you!" Malaysia cheered.
Italy looked up. England?
His eyes landed on the thick British eyebrows. He stared at it for a while.
"What are you staring at you bloody git?" the eyebrows asked, annoyed.
Italy screamed before fleeing.
"ITALIEN (Italy in German)!" Germany yelled before going after the fleeing Italian.
"Oops."
"You did it on purpose did you?" Brunei asked.
"Why Brunei, I have no idea what Italy is screaming about." Malaysia simply said, feigning an innocent look.
"There goes Round 4..."
-Round 5: South Korea vs Japan-
D: And we're back to Round 5 with South Korea vs Japan
P: Yeah, let's hope nothing goes wrong this time
AUS: Hahaha, oh come on mates! That was hilarious! I don't mind another!
"Japan, your breasts will belong to me soon da-ze!"
Japan frowned. He surely did not want to lose and have his breasts being groped by this South Korean nation.
"Alright as usual, cook up your best dish and present it to the judges." France said.
Both nodded as a very heated, well, not as heated as China vs India but still an interesting competition. Indeed both hardworking nations have step up the effort to win this cooking contest, both with different intentions. One wants to grope the other while the other...doesn't want to be groped.
-Time skip-
It's tasting and judging time for the judges. Who shall win this cooking contest, will it be South Korea, the soon to be host of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and also the land of K-POP and K-Dramas or the host of the 2020 Olympic Games, the country of cherry blossoms, manga and anime?
AUS: Oh it looks like South Korea will be using his popular kimchi!
P: Now it's time for the judges to taste it. Will it be good enough to win over Japan's sushi?
D: Well my friend, that's depends on the judges. It's hard to make a choice between these two delicious food. Speaking of food, my stomach is already grumbling. Hey can I have some of the food available there?
It's the moment of time indeed. South Korea gets to let the judges taste his kimchi first. We are now waiting for the judges' reaction.
Strangely though, for the reaction part, why are all of them dancing like K-POP style?
AUS: They're dancing?
P: Kesesese, this is how they managed to show their love for the kimchi!
D: Considering that K-POP is popular all around the world.
And the score is...DELICIOUS ALL!
P & D: What a high score!
AUS: Looks like Japan will have to build up his defense now!
P: He better. It's his turn now!
Japan took a deep breath as he proceeds to the judges' panel where the judges will taste his own sushi. It's now or never. His life depends on it.
The judges each take a sushi as Japan had made plenty. Their reactions...
"O-OISHII~!"
D: Spectacular reaction from the judges!
P: They should make a video out of this!
AUS: Hahaha
Judges! Please show the results!
Give the drumrolls, wait for a few seconds...and the score is...
P: Talk about jaw-dropping!
D: Amazing...
AUS: Didn't expect the judges to become more anime like huh?
MAS: Wait, I thought we're already in an anime.
DELICIOUS ALL AGAIN! My goodness, we might have a tie here!
"Need a tie breaker?" Singapore asked.
"No need lah, I already have a list on who I need to tor-I mean need their assistance." Malaysia simply said, smiling while glaring angrily at China who flinced a little.
...
"Yes, KL. Everything. Be as harsh as you need to be, oh and tell Miri that will you?"
Malaysia hung up and glared again at China. His favourite badminton ain't 100 % recovered, he shouldn't expect much but he simply hates his people's guts sometimes.
"What's wrong Malon? Lose the badminton match?" Indonesia asked.
"Diamlah Indon. I am so gonna make you clean up after Belang!"
Final Round: Indonesia vs Malaysia
A hot and fiery battle went on. None of them willing to back down and Malaysia seems fired up. He couldn't stop glaring angrily at China either. China better hope that whatever happens, Malaysia would not force him to do some chores.
D: Both nations seemed to be battling each other.
P: Yeah, what's with the glaring part?
AUS: Check the news, don't mention out loud unless you want the whole place destroyed and some blood shed which we need to avoid or our bosses will murder us for that.
"Done!" Both Malaysia and Indonesia yelled at the same time before glaring at each other.
"Malon, step out of the way, my ketoprak has a better chance in winning." Indonesia said in a low voice.
"Not unless you get your butt out first. I have plenty of dishes I could use to win."
AUS: Woah, looks like none are backing it down.
P: Kesesese, this is going to get interesting.
Indonesia and Malaysia went up to the judges' panel while glaring for another time at each other.
"Here you go, try my ketoprak." Indonesia said.
The judges nodded as each of them taste it.
D: Now, for the reaction...how crazy will it be?
Waiting patiently for the judges reaction and the scores...
Who will win this cooking contest? The two siblings who constantly argue over, well, almost everything. For the sake of their pride of course.
"S-So...delicious...no words could describe it." Seychelles said.
"My sheep couldn't handle it anymore." New Zealand added, heading over to check the condition of his sheep which had passed out from consuming too much delicious food.
"My mask is cracking as well..."
P, D & AUS: Judges, please show the scores!
Drumrolls plese...
"TOTALLY DELICIOUS!"
Indonesia smirked. "I win."
Malaysia then served his food to the judges. Awaiting for the judges reaction...he will win this! His food had been rated as the top favourites in the world, there is no way he's gonna lose to that annoying Indon!
The reactions...
Seychelles fainted after trying it, Turkey's mask cracked even more than before, Vietnam's eyes got some strange sparkles in them, Canada's curl twitching a little.
"So delicious! Why didn't you let us try it before ah?" Belgium asked.
Weird, Belgium doesn't talk that way. As if Malaysia's food...had an effect on her.
"Correct, correct ah! Why didn't you give it early?" New Zealand asked.
England's reaction was that of mixed surprise and irritation. He was surprise and confused on how did they suddenly speak in a language similar to Malaysia's and Singapore's and if they want to show their reaction, don't use that language that destroys the Queen's English!
"SOOO SEDAP!"
Prussia appeared next to the judges and asked "Who do you think wins this my fair judges?"
Drumrolls...
"Malaysia Truly Asia..." Was all Seychelles could utter out.
This time, Malaysia smirks. "I win."
...
The next day...
England arrived home, exhausted and kind of pale. He poured himself some tea before taking his place on his chair. On a table next to him, a small piece of paper was placed there. On the paper were the words "England, I hope you enjoy eating my durians! Bang China has to deal with Belang, he doesn't seem to be having fun, Indon is forced to admit that my cooking is oh so great! Hopefully by consuming all of those durians, your stomach might still be fine! Hahaha!"
England crumpled the note in his hand. 'That bloody git...'
-END-
A/N: No special segment again this chapter. I do have something special though. And to my lovely readers, for Merdeka and Malaysia Day special, if you haven't send your answers for
1. What Merdeka is about (in your own words if possible)
2. How do you feel on that day
Please send if you want your answers to be featured! Only until Sep 16!
Carrot Bunny: When I was younger, merdeka meant flags and TV specials and a day of school. This year though, considering everything that had just happened these few months, I think today is for remembering those who have been lost and treasuring those still with us. I've seen derogatory remarks about how we shouldn't even have a celebration this year because of all the tragedies, but to me we celebrate to treasure ourselves that there is still hope, that we still have a future to look forward to. So this year, today's all the more special to me.
...
To every Malaysian out there, don't you wanna see the other nations greeted you "Selamat Hari Merdeka"? Well, with some other nations here, you will get to see that!
"Is this thing on?" America asked, tapping the mic.
"It's on!" Kuala Lumpur replied.
"Now, try and say 'Selamat Hari Merdeka' to the camera over there!" Pahang said, pointing to the camera.
"W-We're being filmed?" Canada asked.
Malacca nodded. "Yes, try saying 'Selamat Hari Merdeka'!"
"Se-Sela...?" Taiwan tried to say but failed.
"Sela (lah)mat."
"Selamat Hari (Harry)-" Canada tried to continue
"Not Harry it's Ha-Ri." Terengganu corrected.
After several attempts in pronoucing the words, they finally got it right.
"Ok, one more from the start everyone!" Penang said.
America: Selamat
Canada: Hari
Taiwan: Merdeka
India and Vietnam: Selamat Hari Merdeka
Everyone then glanced at England, waiting for him to say something.
"F-Fine, I'll say it! Selamat Hari Merdeka bloody git."
"Happy birthday Malaysia!" South Korea greeted.
"Sheng Ri Kuai Le (HB in Chinese) Malaysia." both China and Hong Kong greeted.
"Happy Birthday Malaysia-san." Japan greeted.
"Selamat Hari Jadi ana~!" Thailand greeted after that.
One by one, the nations greeted.
"Many happy wishes!" Italy said.
"May you have many blessings." Belgium added.
...
Male and Female Malaysia who have been watching wiped their eyes.
"There's some dust in my eyes." Female Malaysia said.
"Ah...so many touching things..." Male Malaysia added.
Female Malaysia nodded. "Anyway, thank you for the greetings, we really appreciated it!"
"Until next time my fair readers! Jumpa lagi!"
...
A/N: I had been working on this chapter right after working on the last. That time I kind of realise that working two chapters at the same time is a bit crazy. Just like working on two stories. Well, more Merdeka special is coming up or maybe not.
