Viktor finds nice place for sleeping.
Next morning he is woken up by yelling. Not only one person's yell, but a group of people are yelling. It sounds like a song, but nobody sings it pleasantly. Viktor gets up and starts walking towards the yell, holding his red tooth brush in his right hand.
The yell is Haka of All Blacks. They are dancing Haka due to Air New Zealand's campaign. There are many people around them, and some people take their pictures by mobiles or cameras during the Haka dance.
Viktor freezes when he sees Haka. He is scared of All Blacks because they seem like eating people after dancing. However, Viktor feels that he has seen and listened Haka in somewhere before. He starts brushing his teeth and keeps watching their Haka.
Viktor does not move there even though Haka is finished and All Blacks are gone. He sits down there and tries to recall his memory of Haka; but he cannot recall anything about it. Viktor stands up and goes to the toilet to finish brushing his teeth.
When Viktor is loitering in the terminal, a girl who is giving samples of beverage to people is approaching him.
Girl: "Hi, would you like some our new flat white?"
Viktor: "Flat white?? No, my flat is blue."
Girl: "No, not white flat. Flat white. It's a kind of coffee."
The girl gives one of the cups to Viktor.
Viktor: "Cheers, mate!"
Viktor takes a sip of the flat white. Suddenly, he recalls some of his memory of Haka. He has drunk flat white before in his country, and he also has danced Haka in his country. However, he does not remember why he has experienced New Zealander culture. Viktor thinks that he may recall his memory of his childhood if he dances Haka again.
Viktor starts looking for All Blacks because he wants to dance with them, but the terminal is crowded.
Viktor: "Please..., please..."
He squeezes his way through the crowd. He runs around the terminal, and he hears Haka from a great distance. Fortunately All Blacks are still in the terminal and they have just started Haka in a different place when Viktor arrives there.
Viktor mimics All Blacks and begins to dance.
Viktor: "Ka mate, Ka mate...."
Viktor beats his laps by his hands and puts out his tongue.
He gasps suddenly. He recalls his memory of Haka completely!

good use of kiwi culture and looking forward to what it is that Victor remembers about the haka and from his past. Keep the humour going because thats what makes the story really work. Great work and keep smiling.
Hi Haitian,
I appreciate your comment. But I am not sure whether I will continue to write this story or not, because writing Fanfic will be finished in this week.
If we have a chance to write Fanfic again, I definitely publish the sequel to the story!
good to see your story continuing it's trip on the road, keep up with it.
Major effort to comment on the local icon, or identity of Kiwi land, a country which because of its relatively young age, does not have the cultural background that other countries have. Excellently written.
The reading of your story is very pleasant for me. I’m looking forward to what it is that Victor remembers about Haka and from his past, too.
