Never trust a cup of tea

Pacing back and forth through the kitchen of the world conference building, China waited for the water he was boiling to get finished. He was preparing tea for himself and England. Whenever he thought about how he got stuck as England's tea boy, he made him want to wok him.

'You remember our deal, China. Now you have to be my tea boy for a month.'

"How was I suppose to know that he'd out-drink me?" he mumbled to himself, "I never saw anyone drink that much tea and not get sick, aru...." He carefully poured the water into two cups and sighed.

"I was dishonored that day," he said, pulling out a small vial with a dark colored liquid in it, "But that's going to change." He pour the liquid into the first cup and stirred it.

"This will teach him not to mess with me, aru," he smirked, carrying the two cups on a tray to the meeting room.

When he got to the conference room, he saw some papers at England's seat and smiled. He set the cup down with the mysterious liquid in it by the papers and went to his, smiling. 'As soon as he drinks that tea, my revenge will be complete,' he thought, sitting at his seat as he saw Italy setting the cup down and burping.

"Thanks for the tea, China~" he smiled as China gasped.

"You weren't suppose to drink that!!" he yelled as Italy's face became pale and he passed out on the floor, just in time for the other countries to see.

China stood there, in shock, as England looked at the empty cup then at Italy. Germany picked up Italy and took him to another room to rest.

"What were you thinking, China?" England asked, "Trying to poison me for out drinking you?"

"What?! I would never try to poison you, ahen," China said, "I don't have to try. I can." America stepped between them, patting their shoulders, "Calm down, you two. We can debate about what China did once we know Italy is okay." England nodded and sat down as China sat down as well. Time seemed to slow down and stop, waiting to hear from Germany. China sighed to himself; he dishonored himself big time.

After a while, Germany walked back into the room and sighed. "He hasn't woken up yet," he said, quietly, sitting at his seat as the others looked worried. Romano looked the most worried for his younger brother. China began to think he picked up the wrong vial as the door opened and a woman with shoulder-length brown hair stepped in, rubbing her eyes. "That was a good nap," she said, sitting in the empty seat between Japan and Germany. The others watched with wide eyes as the woman looked at all of them. "Hmm? What are you guys staring at?" she asked as Germany looked over.

"Who are you?" he asked as the woman smiled at him.

"It's me, Italy," she said, "Don't you recognize me?" China blinked, 'I-It really worked?!' England glared at China.

"You were going to turn me into a bloody woman?!" he yelled as Italy blinked and stood up, her chest jumping a little. Germany looked away, blushing, "Italia... please... make yourself decent." She turned to Germany, "What do you mean?"

"....Your...chest..." Japan said, looking away as well. She blinked and looked down. When she saw her chest poking out, she turned from the others and opened her top, looking inside.

"I'm a girl?!" she screamed, covering her chest quickly, "How did this happen? Someone help me!!" Hungary and Belarus ran over to her and led her out the room to change.

China gulped when he saw the evil glare of the others on him. "I meant to change England into a woman, not Italy, aru," he said, looking down, "You don't understand how degrading it is to be his tea boy!" America shook his head as Hungary and Belarus came back in with Italy following them, wearing a red fiesta and a red, green,and white ribbon in her hair. She looked down at her hands and blushed a bit. France walked over to them and held up a rose for Italy.

"For you, mon ami," he smiled as she looked up at him. Romano stood in front of Italy, "Don't get any idea, France. He- She's my little bro- sister and I won't let you mess with her." He took Italy's hand and took her to an empty seat next to his, "Here. Sit next to me." She nodded and sat down, brushing some hair out her face. Romano couldn't believe how beautiful his sister looked and shook his head. He couldn't think about something like that.

"How long will she be like this?" Germany asked as China looked up.

"...Three days at the most, aru." he said, "It was only a small amount she had. Had I used the right amount for that cup of tea, she's be a woman for roughly a month." England blinked, "A month?! Are you crazy?"

"A month is long enough for a drinker of such disgusting tea!" China yelled back.

"Tea is tea," England smiled, "Don't blame me that you can't drink the Queen's tea."

"Hot dirty water is not tea!"

"What was that, you bloody git?!"

Italy stood up, "Will you please stop fighting, you two?" She sighed and glared at them, "We're here to solve problems, not make more of them! If you two can't at least pretend to like one another, then you can both leave and the rest of us will solve our problems without your input!" The others looked at her as she blushed and sat down, covering her mouth. France smiled and scooted closer to her as Romano threw a tomato at him.

"Stay. Away. From. Her." he growled.

"But Romano," he said, wiping his face, "She's so cute."

"I don't care. Stay away from her, dammmit!"

"Je devrais peut-être plus pour inviter un peu de vin après la réunion ...." France said to himself.

After the meeting, Italy picked up her things as China walked over to her.

"I'm sorry, aru," he said, looking down at his hands, "I didn't mean for you to get involved in my revenge plot with that toad, England." She smiled at him and hugged him.

"It's okay, China," she said, "I won't mind being a girl for a while. I'll just stay with Hungary." China flushed, trying not to think where his head was.

"O-o-okay, aru," he said, "M-mind letting me go?" She blinked and let him go as he turned away, blushing. She smiled at him and kissed his forehead as Hungary poked her head in.

"Come on, Felicia," she said, "Let's get going." Italy nodded and smiled at China, "See you tomorrow." She ran out the door as China watched, still red. He felt his heart racing in his chest and shook the carnal thought that popped into his mind.

"Aiyah! Why was I thinking about that?!" he yelled hitting his head, "She'll be back to normal.... I shouldn't think that!!" He sighed and walked out the room.
