Malaysia.

I never expected Jack and Mark would chip in together to bring me, Crai, Felix and our other friends to a summer-long country. But Mark had said that it's to show love for his Muslim viewers, and Jack, not wanting to be left out, said the same thing. By now, we were all in our designated rooms in a hotel called the "Green Iguana".

I was roommates with Crai, who seemed highly excited to be in this country. She explained that tomorrow would be 'Raya', which explains her giddiness... after she explained that she'd get to get a lot of treats. I did a little research and found out that not only Muslims celebrate this, but other races like Chinese's as well. At least I'd get a temporary break from being tortured physically and mentally!

Crai jumped on my bed and didn't leave until I wake up. "WAKE UP YOU LITTLE LAZYASS COOKIE CHOMPER!" She screeched, to which I screeched back. "DIAMLAH!" We heard our oh-so-kind neighbor yell with a hardy-dardy knock. "KAULAH DIAM! BODOH!" Crai yelled back, taking me by surprise. "She understood him?" I questioned, seeing the girl's gaze turning to me with a deadpanned look. "I'm. Right. Here."

"Sorry, sorry, you... uh,"

"Understand Malay? Yeah, I was born here. No biggie. NOW BATH, YOU SMELT LIKE A BOILED SQUIRREL IN A CONCUSSION!"

Why I oughtta... I glared half-heartedly at her and went into our luxurious bathroom. It was nothing worth describing, since it was just the same for most high-star hotels. I began to sing, washing my hair and letting myself soak in the bathtub Crai had prepared. Now I know what you're thinking, why on Earth would Crai do that?

You see, we made a pact. After one of us used the bathroom, the other will HAVE to go in and take their bath. To save another's time and energy, the former would have to fill the bathtub with warm or hot water, depending on the person's preference. Mine was warm water, I couldn't handle hot water right off the bat.

I let myself soak in further...

...

Did Crai say she was born here? In Malaysia?

My eyes shot open as I sat up once the realization soaked in. No pun intended. "CRAI WAS BORN IN MALAYSIA?" I heard from Crai that most of the citizens couldn't speak fluent English, it mind-boogled me when I heard her confession.

"I SAID IT'S NO BIGGIE!" I heard her yell back. I opened my mouth but then decided to shut up so I can relax myself. "Right, Raya... Crai already explained to me that it's tradition to take pictures in... what, baju kurung's?" I hummed, letting my eyes close. Ahh, warm water makes me feel like I'm in bed again. So... comforting... I felt like I was going to fall asleep...

"Princess (Y/N), we have a time limit. Mark and your boy Jack's already ready." I blushed at the mention of Jack, okay, what will happen? What's going to be- what will he look like? What will I look like? I don't know, ugh, I don't!

I quickly got out, unplugged the plug-thingamajig (I couldn't think due to the panic), and dried myself and my hair. It took me about ten minutes to get ready, well, get myself and my hair dried of course. I clambered out of the room with a towel wrapped around me as I looked around. I could tell Crai was outside since I can see her on the balcony. I grabbed a red... dress, kind of thing that I bought with Crai and myself. I did my hair, combing my formerly messy locks and put on some light makeup. Crai came in and I could tell she was blown away by my... my...

"So simple, but so beautiful." Did she just praise me? I smiled, "Thanks, Crai." She blinked and cleared her throat, "Anyways, Mark and the others are down." She scratched her head and I watched her. She was wearing a simple red clothing, baju kurung as I learnt it to be. The same kind of clothing I was wearing, but way more in the simple sense. "Come on now, Juliana Evans. We don't need them waiting." I followed her to the main lobby while my mind was boggled by the name. Who is Juliana Evans?

"Hey, Markoofus, Jackspediceye." Crai called out to the pair, Felix and his girl unseen. Jack turned to me and I could see him blushing. "Whoa, just... whoa..." He said and smiled. "(Y/N), you look... so beautiful..." He approached me and kissed me, but was short since Crai and Mark pulled us apart. "Public displays of affection is frowned upon around kids with brains." She said, the two of us laughing. Mark wore something red, whereas Jack wore something green and blue. "Oh hey, Mark, you and I look like a family of idiots." Crai commented, Jack snorting. "No fair! I wanted to be a part of the family, (Y/N), take me back!" He went on his knees and grabbed my hand.

"Ay!" I dramatically placed the back of my hand on my forehead, looking away as Mark grabbed the chance to kneel down before me, "Ay, Maria- er, (Y/N), please! Don't leave me! Leave him!" He said, I pretended to be overly flabbergasted. Crai swiftly knocked onto their heads. "Not that I'm not liking us being idiots, we have to surprise visit our fans, don't we?"

"OH HECK YEAH!" I heard Felix cry, Marzia giggling.
