Iceland woke up feeling groggy. This wasn't unusual as it was a regular occurrence until you get the the fact that it was half six in the morning! He to noticed when he looked up blearily at his alarm clock. He was so suprised by this early morning encounter that his eyes went wide open and he nearly fell out of bed. Key word:nearly. Someone had decided to put cushions all around the outside of his bed. If it was a prank, it backfired. He smirked smugly at the reaction of the Dane when he found out whatever was planned failed. He assumed it was Denmark as who else would pull a prank.

That will teach him thought Iceland.

when he tried to get out of his covers he found that it was a lot easier and harder at the same time. Harder because the covers seemed to suffocate him and had gained weight but Iceland put it down to another part of Denmark's suposive prank. It was easier though cause it seemed a part of him had disappeared what then lead to the dreaded thought that was either Denmark had cut off his limbs or Norway had done something to him and the theory of Denmark was just after all, a Theory.

He looked at his hands to see they now seemed to be pudgy and very small. This made his eyes widen again and he inspected the rest of his body. He had shrunk. But then when he touched his face he changed his mind to instead of shrinking to deaging because he never cried and there were very obvious tears falling from his eyes. It was settled on that when he heard himself speak and yell a very angry but childlike shriek going "Norway! What have you done?!" This startled him so much that he didn't hear the well predicted stomps of three Nordics come storming in his bedroom till Denmark said in a very angry, worried but confident yell "what's going on Iceland?" With his axe out infront of him ready to kill if necessary and Sweden with his sword unsheathed holding it out Infront of him. This would of looked terrifying if Finland wasn't in the background hiding, shaking like a leaf. "Norway happened!" The Icelander yelled angrily. "Huh, what did he do? Where are you anyway?" Denmark asked, honestly not seeing Iceland.

Iceland looked around till he saw the problem, well opened his eyes first. This was weird. It appeared that he had jumped off his bed somehow and was now hiding under it, something he hadn't done in centuries. He felt ashamed. When they find out they were going to either cuddle him to death and treat him like a baby or scold him and remind him things like this happen when you mess with a magic user, one who is powerful enough to do something like this and make it last. Knowing his luck he'd probably get both but he preferred the latter, who wouldn't.

He looked around till he saw his puffin what gave him an idea. "I'm under the bed, mr puffin is here so I came to save him" he cringed at how childish that excuse was but it was the best way to keep his dignity now. "And why, I must ask, is he under the bed" Denmark teased, worry and anger gone along with his axe and Sweden's sword. "Did he get scared again. He hasn't been scared for a while or did Norway scare him last night when we told you what could happen, huh?" Denmark asked, still teasing. He stopped when Sweden gave him a look of death and hit him hard in the ribs.

When he heard what Denmark had said he face palmed, hard. It was the excuse he used as a child, must be getting his childish antics again. Mind changing to do a child's reflexes but his own thoughts. He shuddered. However, this was confused for a sob by the other Nordics seeing the shudder when he was told by a concerned Denmark "hey it's alright to get scared sometimes, why doesn't mr puffin come out with you and tell us what's wrong, yeah?" Iceland rolled his eyes and picked up mr puffin who let out an undignified squawk until he saw his master. His eyes visibly widened but decided to walk out with him, seeing Iceland shiver like he was crying. He also didn't want to Crush his now small master by sitting on his head or shoulder. He obviously knew it was him when he saw Iceland being as he had seen him at this age. He was granted immorality and human speech like other close animal friends to countries.

Iceland did feel relieved when he saw mr puffin, who chose not say anything about the situation, and walked out into the open. When he did he instantly dove his face into mr puffins back and cried, forgetting the fact his brothers were there and that being the reason.


The Nordics were shocked to say the least. They thought it suspicious, minus Denmark, that Iceland was acting like a child and hiding under his bed and using the lame puffin excuse like he had done all those centuries ago. It was forgotten when he came out as a child, obviously been at the mercy of one of Norway's cursed magic tricks.

This was all visible when Denmark started laughing, Finland had a disapproving face on at Iceland and Sweden was... Well he is quite hard to tell on his emotions but he loosened his posture from battle stance. They all got scared though, even Sweden,when they heard Norway come through the door and smiled maliciously at Iceland before saying "you had this coming little brother". At this snide remark Iceland looked up with a glare, only showing his eyes what were filled with tears and still falling down his face. when Norway saw this, his face softened and said "it was a potion". Everyone looked up, including mr puffin who was trying to get Iceland off his now snot covered feathers whilst giving him comfort. Mr puffin growled at hearing the words, this wasn't good and as quoted by Iceland earlier 'this can only end bad'.
