Chapter 2


Netherland rested his head on the table, completely depressed. Luxemburg paced around the room nervously, while Belgium tried to comfort her older brother… or sister? She didn't really understand.

"So repeat." Lux turned around. "You woke up like this?"

"Yes! How is this possible?!" Netherland cried, and he seemed to sink lower at his more feminine voice.

"It's ok." Belgium rubbed his back. "We'll figure something out."

"I can't go out like this!" He sat up, before pushing his hair off from his face. "I have to hide, I can't be seen like this."

"You know we have the world meeting in one hour, right?" Lux reminded him.

Netherlands put his head in his hands and groaned.

"We have to tell the others." Belgium stood up. "C'mon, let's go find something for you to wear."

"I can do it myself."

"Nu-uh!" She waggled her finger at him. "You can't just dress up like a boy! Besides, your tight fitting clothes aren't going to fit these."

She poked his chest, and he blushed red. "Stop that!" He snapped as he stood up from his seat and headed to his room.

"Do you need help choosing something?" Lux called.

His response was a tulip pot smacking him in the head.


"So you are telling me that you woke up as a woman?"

Japan shuffled awkwardly. He was now wrapped up in a larger towel than before and sitting in Taiwan's room on her bed while she sat at her desk.

"I know this is hard to believe…"

"Oh, this is just like those mangas that I love to read!" She gushed, laughing. "This is so amazing! Of course, you'd be the one in this dilemma!"

"H-Hey!" Japan yelled, blushing at both his feminine voice and his new body. "How did this even happen?!"

"I don't know." Taiwan shrugged. "So why did you come?"

"I… need help." Japan looked down. "None of my male clothes fit me anymore, and I can't go out without any clothes."

"Ahh… is it because of these?" Taiwan poked his chest, smiling.

"Sh-Shut up!" He smacked her hands away. "Just… do you have anything I can wear?"

"You have to wear something formal. We have the world meeting again today."

Japan's world as he knew it shattered around him, and he sat in the corner, depressed. "I can't believe this is happening to me. Doushite, kami-sama?! Yurushite!"

Taiwan laughed and patted him on the back. "It's ok, we'll pull through this. I think I still have that kimono you gave me as a present, it should fit you."

Japan buried his head in his hands and let out a muffled scream.


"Umm… Russia?"

Russia sighed, arm draped over his eyes. "What is it, Lithuania?"

"Could you… maybe put some clothes on?"

Russia didn't care. So what if his shirt was open, or if he only wore his boxers underneath? He had more pressing concerns.

He ran his fingers through his long hair. Just what had happened to him? He didn't want to be rude, but compared to his male body, his new one felt… lighter. More fragile.

And there was the fact that they had the meeting after this. What would happen? They'd most likely laugh at him, wouldn't they?

Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine weren't much help either. Lithuania just lit up red when he first looked at him, while Belarus gave a very scary look like she wanted to murder someone. Ukraine was the only one trying to help him, as she sat down on the bed next to him.

"I'm going to be honest, Russia." She seemed nervous. "We will have to go to the others to find out what happened."

Russia sat up. "We can not! They will laugh if they see me like this!"

"They won't." Ukraine smiled. "They'll be trying to help you. Besides, I think you look rather beautiful as a woman."

Russia huffed. "Of course you would say that to make me feel better." He sighed and stood up. "I need to find something to wear."

"I'll help." Ukraine stood up and ushered Lithuania and Belarus out the door.

Lithuania leaned back against the wall, desperately trying to remove the image of Russia lying half-naked on the bed. She was- HE was Russia, for crying out loud! He couldn't be aroused by her- HIM.

He turned to Belarus, to try and distract himself. "Are you alright? You are rather quiet."

She turned around, and Lithuania shrank back from the purely evil glare radiating from her eyes.

"When I find the bastard who did this to my Russia…" She cracked her knuckles menacingly. "I'll make them wish they were never born!"

Lithuania backed away from her nervously as she continued to mutter death threats and promises of torture.


England nervously pulled his car away from his house at the UN village. He knew that he'd cursed three others, but for who they were, he had no clue.

He just hoped he hadn't cursed Germany, or - heavens forbid - France. The frog already was bad enough, but if he was a member of the opposite sex? Then the temptation would be even worse for some of the other nations to resist.

England shook his head as he focused on not crashing. He spotted Taiwan and waved as he passed.

She did so with glee, as usual, but he then noticed another girl walking alongside her, wearing a white kimono, and she seemed to hide behind Taiwan as he passed.

Was it just him, or did she look a little like Japan?

England nearly swerved off the road at that, but he shook his head and laughed it off. It couldn't be, right?

Right?
