A/N: Ok, so if I said I will be busy I'm not lying but apparently laziness got me even though I should be studying. But after reading some fanfics, especially one that has MCs and stuff, I kind of miss doing the special show thing at the end of every chapter since I had no ideas what to write. With new stories to write, assignments to hand in and exams that I'm supposed to be studying, yeah, time passes by really quick. Sigh, I just want to keep reading and writing fanfics...but I have a life as a student so no complaining. So this is again random moments...
Warnings: OOCs as usual (what do you expect?), craziness

CNY with Penang
(originally: Penang's
Chinese New Year)
...
Yes, that day has come once again. Or days. In Malaysia, these days are considered as something extremely important in the lives of the Malaysian Chinese and also the Chinese from across the seas, lands and all.
Being the only Chinese state, Penang takes it upon herself to decorate the place with red, orange and pink, oh and yellow. She takes these days quite seriously and doesn't tolerate anyone who commit some taboos on that day, that is, if you were to ask the Penang from before but as the world becomes modernize, old traditions are becoming looser, slowly disappearing from the world as younger generations never bothered about keeping the traditions alive.
Sweeping a strand of hair from her face, Penang hangs a bright red coloured lantern before stepping down from the ladder, gazing at the lantern, feeling satisfied at her work. She had been celebrating Chinese New Year alone even though her siblings join in the open house but...the good old days which she spent with a friend of hers long, long ago was just a memory.
"Penang, where do we put the bamboo plant?" Kuala Lumpur asked, holding a pot of the bamboo plant with Labuan holding the other.
The female state turned to the two and pointed to the corner. "Over there can already!"
Kuala Lumpur and Labuan proceeds to place the plant there until Penang suddenly stops them.
"Ah no not there! Better if near the light."
Letting out a tired sigh, the two males, again, heads to the direction Penang is pointing.
"Sorry, but it would be better if it's outside! No, not in front, you'll ruin the view! Great, where is my feng shui book when I needed them the most?"
Kuala Lumpur groaned, placing the plant down. "Penang, let me say this straight. You don't have a feng shui book and the bamboo would be fine anywhere in the house."
Penang nodded. "Right, over there then!"
Suddenly Beijing appears at the door with a huge smile on his face. "Ni Hao Penang! I've brought some cheongsam for you to wear and it's good since it really helps to boost your femininity power when you're totally flat as a-WAH!"
Young Beijing finds himself ducking after Penang sends a chopstick to the wall, probably for commenting on her cups which is actually a taboo to mention that to Penang. Kuala Lumpur tried that, never get off lucky.
...
Shopping for Decorations!
...
Kedah groaned, yet, for another time of the day. He should have known that when his lovely sister, Penang asks Kedah to do her a favour especially when Chinese New Year is coming up...it literally means that she becomes one of the most scary lady or girl. Penang did sweet talked him out of it though. Big brother instincts...
"Oh Brother dear~, I just found something perfect over there! Could you hold onto this for a while?"
Before our dear sweet Kedah could protest, Penang had tossed him another bag for him to carry. How he wanted to cry because...every shopping bags, all of those heavy stuff, he carries it alone. While Penang was distracted, Kedah SMS to every state/territory to help him out. The replies?
From: KL
Boss got meeting, good luck.
From: Overly affectionate Selangor
Oh dear~, I wish I could help but I have to babysit my baby brother~. About the meeting, it was a lie to spend some time with me~.
From: KL
Ignore everything Selangor said.
From: Kelantan
If you can grant me some power to punish some idiots here I will be willing to help.
From: Workaholic Putrajaya
Busy with paperwork. Talk to you later.
From: Malacca
Hmm...sorry no time! Tourists need me and I need them~!
From: Labuan
Can you pay for my flight there?
From: Perak
I don't want to! Kak Penang is going to make me carry more bags~!
From: Pahang
Are you still able to walk? Impressive.
From: Malaysia
Good luck, you really need it. I'll write your biography for you.
From: Unknown
Notice me please! Notice Bascal!
Kedah silently wept for his torture of carrying heavy bags. Oh why can't they help out for once?
"Brother dearest~"
...
Ang Pau
...
The one thing every Chinese kids look forward to every Chinese New Year, yes, the ang pau...some would spend it right after they got while some kept it while some such as he author herself would hide her money somewhere in the house, be it under the bed or some secret place until your mother cleans up and found your money.
China steps out of the house, stretching his arms as he enjoyed the scenery. Ah~, nothing beats a normal, peaceful and quiet day. The birds are chirping, the trees are swaying in the wind and something moving in the bushes. Hold on, what?
The old-I mean young nation turns to the bushes beside him. It could be an animal but...why is he having a bad feeling about this?
Suddenly, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Penang jump out of the bushes, doing a double flips before deciding to go with pouncing on China for a very good reason.
"HONG BAU NA LAI (GIVE US THE RED PACKET)!"
China literally screamed like a girl before kung fu kick them back into the bushes where they come from. He nearly had a heart attack! What-? Damn it, the minute he steps out of his house, he was greeted by THIS?
Next day...
China resumes his normal daily activities such as drinking a cup of tea. Ah~, nothing beats a nice cup of Chinese tea. Tea really calm his nerves. But he had a feeling of deja vu there at that moment for some reason...
He heads to the front door to enjoy the scenery again where he heard sounds coming form the bushes. Again?!
Left bushes would be where they-all right China, you can do this.
Suddenly, yes again, jumping out from the bushes were none other than the four main characters from the ang pau thing. The difference this time is...they came out from the bushes on the right and...they did triple flips before go for the normal pouncing on China.
China, again, kung fu kick them for another time into the bushes. Seriously! Why only him? So unfair! Just because he's old nation doesn't mean-at this time, China's eyes widen. He made a mistake.
...
...
...
"I admitted myself as an old nation aru..."
...
I want to lose weight!
...
Malaysia stared at America incredulously. Is there something going on his head? Since...he had come to her for losing weight. Lose weight! America + losing weight doesn't go well together, moreover, that's a ridiculous equation.
"What did you just say?"
"I say I want to lose some weight, just to prove Iggy I could do it." America answered.
Why is she not surprise? Of course if it is a bet, he would do it.
"Well America, why did you choose me out of other nations? Mr. Germany is a health expert, Bang China as well."
America, of course, the superpower always has reasons for this.
"Germany too strict, China would require me to go on a diet."
Actually they got better training programs for people like you idiot, Malaysia muttered under her breath.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Malaysia leans back against her chair. Hmm...it isn't everyday you got a superpower asking you this. Maybe she might take it into consideration or maybe...
"Fine but as long as you obey everything I ask you to do."
...
Malaysia licked some ice creams which she bought earlier while watching America running up the stairs of the famous...Batu Caves. Those steps sure come in handy in times like this. Running under the hot sun, yeah, it sure helps America to lose some of his weight but would probably gain them after this whole thing is over. Like she's going to let that happen.
That is why she prepare this kind of plan.
"Big Sister Malaysia! Big Sister Malaysia!" a small girl called.
This small girl is no ordinary girl or human. Known as Indonesia's precious lil sister and Papa Portugal's sweet lovely daughter-Timor Leste. The young nation, despite being independent is the subject of an overprotective Indonesia and Papa Portugal. Geez, someone tell them to get married and be her parents already.
"Ah perfect timing my little Timor Leste~! Do you want to take a tour around Batu Caves?"
Timor Leste nodded. "Sure I really want to see the place!"
Turning to America, Malaysia gave her orders. "Carry her up the stairs into the cave then come back down with her. Do not let her get heatstroke or anything unless you want two nations to hunt you down. Keep her hydrated."
America blinked. "Isn't that babysitting?"
Malaysia laughs, pulling out a fan to keep her cool. "Ohohoho, not really. Since you have tremendous strength, I think you can also add an extra weight on your shoulders. Once you come back here, we'll try a different nation. From the lightest to the heaviest."
In her head, she literally says "Please I could care less of how many calories you lost but as long as I can earn some extra income I wouldn't mind one bit!"
...
A/N: Done for now! Writer's block...curse it. Will be taking a break for exams. Before I leave, here's the one and only...
The Malaysia Show!
Starring our favourite nation personifications!
"Us!" both Malaysians exclaimed, entering the stage in their respective Chinese New Year clothes and no, no cheongsam there.
The room was filled with applause from the audience, after all, who doesn't love these two who have been giving us laughter and tears since this story was first uploaded on some websites. They are the ones who bring hope to Hetalia Malaysian readers who arehoping to see their Hetalia Malaysia OC in the spotlight.
"Selamat kembali ladies and gentlemen~! Nations and humans to ourshow!" Male Malaysia announced and once again, the whole room is swallowed up in the clapping of the audiences' hands accompanied by cheers and whistles.
"Wow it has been a long~ time since we last show up!" Female Malaysia remarked.
"Of course, our dear author has ran into walls and writer's block! Not to mention, college! Which means assignments and more!" Male Malaysia said dramatically before weeping on his sleeves.
"If this author has a double, we could be here always but she is the only one who writes." Female Malaysia continued sadly.
"Anyway, enough weeping and gloomy moments! We have a show to run!"
Female Malaysia nodded as she pulls out a walkie talkie and said "Ok partner, do it."

Kai Shi (Start)!
Gong Xi Gong Xi!
Penang comes out from the backstage dressed in her aquamarine blue cheongsam, carrying a huge red scroll. The island state unrolls it, letting the bottom end drop to the floor, revealing some words on the scroll.
"GONG XI FA CAI
XIN NIAN KUAI LE (Happy New Year)
BALIK KAMPUNG SEASON"
Male and Female Malaysia whistled. "Finally! Something general!"
"But who will do this topic?" Female Malaysia questioned.
Male Malaysia grinned triumphantly, pulling out a small pouch. "We can decide with this."
"The old lucky draw?" Hong Kong asked, munching on some dumplings.
Male Malaysia shook his head, tossing the pouch towards the audience. Female Malaysia glances at her male counterpart who nod at her.
"Inside got some embarrassing pictures, whoever get them first can do whatever they like with it." Female Malaysia yelled.
Within a second, everyone jump into the air with the Asians overpowering the others because of martial arts training back in the good old days. Right now, it's becoming a fight in the air between the Asians (mostly the East Asians), none of them are willing to back down, knowing that if those pictures end up in the hands of the wrong person like Hong Kong, maybe they should consider going for isolation. How did Malaysia get those pictures...well, it's a mystery to them.
Korea boost his time in the air a little, thus successfully grabbing the pouch, giving his family a victory sign. Like the Asians are going to let him get away with it.
"I won't let you!" Taiwan kicks the pouch away from the Korean's hand but the consequence, is revealing something under her skirt a little.
"Hey Taiwan, if you're going to kick at least wear pants." Korea commented.
And the Korean was seeing nothing but black as Taiwan and China gives him a kick to his face, the pouch was forgotten as Hong Kong and Japan use this opportunity to grab it. The two were known to have put up the best poker faces or at least in Asia.
Male and Female Malaysia along with the others could only watch them grab the pouch at the same time. Taiwan's cheering doesn't seem to be distracting them at all. After all, those two are similar in ways, okay, maybe not but the one thing they are the same is that they are difficult to read.
"Wow, this is quite good." Male Malaysia couldn't help but said it. Indeed, it is rare that you see the two of them stare at each other, trying to read signs on their faces but you can't seem to break through their super good poker face.
"Who do you think will win?" Female Malaysia asked the Korean.
"Hard to say da ze since both of them are waiting for their opponent to make the first move." Korea answered, watching the two Asians landed on the ground with the pouch.
None of them dared to move in fear that the other would already predict his move.
"Pin drop silence. Amazing." Indonesia managed to utter out.
"Why can't you just do with the both of them?" France suggested.
Another awkward silence...France has a good point there. Why didn't they think of that? The reading of this fanfic will be a blast into the sky within-!
"The winners please step onto the stage and do this topic already before the writer decides on sleep!"
...
Female Malaysia now sits on a chair covered in dirt thanks to a certain person's firecrackers.
"Can't believe I got blast off." Female Malaysia muttered angrily.
"Hey be thankful you don't have a sword that went slicing on you. My songkok was the sacrifice." Male Malaysia said with a sigh.
The reason for this is quite simple. A pouch with a simple piece of paper that said "You been fooled".
"Anyway, you guys can start with your experience with it. Penang can give you some Q&A if you need help." Female Malaysia said, pressing a button on a remote control as both herself and her male counterpart disappeared into the trap door below them.
Penang then steps into the front a little, pulling out a huge board with the picture of a traffic jam or at least a pathetic drawing of it.
"What do you see before Chinese New Year holidays or at least the final day before the school holidays?"
Hong Kong snorted. "Traffic jam. Malaysian Chinese usually rush back to their home town to see their relatives who live far from them."
"You could say it's like a family reunion. Family members would always eat their meals together and also to catch up with each other." Japan continued.
"But one thing you got to watch out for," Hong Kong warned in a darker tone. "The horrible traffic jam. You do not want to get caught up in it."
"One should not underestimate the horrors of Malaysian traffic jam during the balik kampung season. Even a road trip to the nearest state could take you hours."
"So like yeah, plan your trip wisely if you like don't want to get stuck."
"Thank you for sharing your time with us. We hope to see you soon."
In the audience, China is letting his tears flow like waterfalls. His brothers...he feels so proud all of a sudden.
