It was around 8pm when Juan drove through what looked like an old, abandoned road leading away from the lights of Manila's bustling nightlife.
A few of the foreigners noticed Maria in the front looking a little tense, yet only Antonio had the balls to actually say something about it.
"Felipinas, mi hija, are you ok?"
No answer.
"Hija?"
"Hold on, I got this, España."
Thump!
Juan sped into a speed bump.
"Aray! Juan, ano ba!?"
"Hija..."
Maria was taken aback a bit, but quickly composed herself.
"I'm fine, España. Why do you ask, po?"
"You haven't touched the Jollibee we ordered 15 minutes ago yet."
"A-Ah, ano po, it's alright. I'll eat it when we get home, before we go to sleep."
"That's not healthy, Maria-"
"Tumahimik ka nga lang, Juan-"
"Juan-san, focus on the road!-"
The van suddenly came to a halt with a loud screeeeeech!
"What the bloody hell-"
In front of them was a pale woman in a white nightgown, save for the few bloodstains on it and her skin. Her long, tangled, jet black hair covered most of her face.
Maria gulped, slowly leaned towards Juan, and whispered, "If this is how we die, I swear, I will chase you around in heaven with a chinelas."
Maria looked back at her guests. "Alright everybody, compress amd make some space. We have an unexpected guest who will be riding with us tonight."
The gang's jaws dropped in shock. "You have to be ****ing kidding us right now."
Lovino
"Hetalia, CHIGI!!"
It felt like an eternity passed when they finally reached the end of Balete Drive and back onto the highway, amongst other fellow vehicles.
For those that dared to look back, they found that the mysterious and creepy female hitchiker was gone.
"Oh thank God that creepy ass b!*** is gone," Lovino exhaled.
"Romano, language."
"Spain, I swear to God-"
"Yeah, dudes, I gotta admit - I've never been so happy to be back in traffic."
Kiku
"Hetaria."
//timeskip back to the Philippine duo's house...
It's been quite a night for the foreign nations. After experiencing the paranormal like that, you'd want to pull an all-nighter, too.
Or maybe it's the jetlag that's hitting them hard right now...
Either way, the foreigners had some trouble waking up early that morning.
//timeskip to when they're all ready for their next destination...
The foreigners were waiting outside the jeep for Juan and Maria, chatting to pass the time. They understood by now that the Philippine duo have a bad habit of being late.
Finally, the Philppine duo came out. However, they noticed Juan come out looking a little guilty. With a little nudge on the arm from Maria, Juan spoke up.
"Umm, before we get in the jeep, I should apologize for what you all experienced last night." Juan said apologetically. "As a host, I should make you all as comfortable and sade as possible, and I didn't. I'm so sorry."
Their guests looked at each other for a bit, then Alfred spoke up.
"Dude, I'm not gonna lie, that was lowkey the most thrilling and adrenaline-pumping 5 minutes of my life."
"... Ano?"
Arthur sighed. "I hate to admit it, but the yankee's right. Don't be so hard on yourselves, loves."
One by one, their guests nodded in agreement.
The Philippine duo smiled. "But in a gesture of goodwill, allow us to end your visit here in the Philippines with a positive memory-"
"To MOA!" Juan exclaimed with his fist in the air and a bright smile.
"Where?"
...
