Chapter 11: Shrunken
~ Izzy's P.O.V. ~
I started rambling on about how I hated the world right now. Russia happened to piss me off like he happens to do most of the time.
"Stupid tree, stupid Russia, stupid other thing." I kept at the rambling. I saw Jeanna upset. I sat beside her on a bench. "What's with you?" I asked her. She had sighed and said she was stood up on a date because England was doing other things. "If you don't mind me I'll be right back." I departed from where she was and I stumbled across England.
"Why Ello today Izzy." He said with a smile on his face. "I'm quite happy to see you." Before he could say anything else, I shrunk him and put him in a jar that had breathing holes in it. "What in the bloody hell are you doing?!" He asked me, pissed off as ever. I went back where Jeanna was and handed her the jar. She had a worried look on her face. I just kept walking.
I heard someone crying and went to go check it out. I then saw Juliet sitting on the ground, crying. I looked at her, talking with facial expressions like Sweden and I happen to do a lot. The cause of her doing that was Germany. He was yelling at her again. I sighed and saw Italy running away. Germany had to be around here somewhere. I had another jar. I was waiting in a tree for him to come. When he did. I pounced on him like a cat does to its prey.
"Nice to see you've been training and always will." Germany said with a smile on his face while I was doing nothing but glaring at him. "What?" He asked curious of my behavior.
"I train more than you do... You also hurt Juliet by yelling at her again." I said very blunt.
"Why are you acting like Sweden?" He tried to push me off of him. He also didn't even need to try I could feel his fear by my aura. This aura was too large to see. I then stepped off of him. Holding out my hand so he could get up. He took that hand and he was shrinking as that was happening. I put him in the jar. Proceeding to go back to where Juliet was.
"Did he say anything?" She was wiping away her tears.
"I talked to him alright." I was holding the jar to show her. She was surprised. Before I gave her the jar I shook it around. He deserved It anyways. All that was In my mind was to go find Russia... I found myself across the other men. Italy, Romano, Spain, Serbia, Austria, Prussia, France, America, Canada, Japan, Mexico, China, and... Cuba. I thought I saw Russia walk off. I tried looking past them but I didn't see him.
"Well look at what we have here its the feisty Senorita." Mexico blurt out. Spain, as soon as he heard that, gave me a hug.
"Meh, Just someone I'd rather not care about." Cuba was always looking forward into getting in trouble.
"Why don't you just weep to your hand since she's the only one that cares." I said in a tone giving of that he masturbates. He gasped.
"You take that back you damn Soviet. The only good thing for you, is death."
"I don't refuse to learn English. I'm also not very controlling. You aren't very smart to begin with, you smoke-" I was interrupted.
"Your mama's so fat that a bus ran her over and she got up and said, 'Who threw that rock?'" We kept going at our arguments until he ran out of things to say. I wouldn't lose this battle for the world. I put him in a choke hold and started cussing at the bitch. All of them tried to break it up. Soon they learned doing that while I was also mumbling wasn't a good idea. They all shrank. I put them in jars, except Cuba, He was on his own. I found Russia. I put on my glaring face.
"Ok, what I said earlier? Mistake, wont happen again. There was a misunderstanding." He could tell I wasn't happy with anything. I was maybe beyond pissed. I gave him a couple of minutes to explain. Well guess what, didn't make any sense to me at all whatsoever. I shrunk him anyways and put him away in a jar and put the jar in a bag I had.
~ Jeanna's P.O.V. ~
I was worried about England. I didn't plan for this to happen. I didn't think she'd be that demented and evil enough to shrink him. Although, I could torture him. I shook my head. What am I thinking? I love him too much. I saw Juliet coming my way with a jar.
"How do we get them back to normal?" She was sniveling by this point. I shrugged, I didn't know what to do. Izzy came back with a bag.
"What's the bag for?" I asked I had no Idea what was happening. She revealed everyone else. "Let me see your hand." She looked at me confused but let me see it. I smacked her hand. "Not all of them deserved that."
"Herro, prease excuse me. It was our fault for doing that. Brame us." Japan bowed. I forgave.
"What are you going to do with all of them?" I was skeptic.
"Well I was going to have you watch over France, England, America, and Canada. Juliet you watch over Germany, Italy, Romano, and Japan. Then I'll watch the rest." Izzy answered. I knew it would come to something like this. I don't know why. She gave me my brothers, she gave Juliet her brothers and Japan, then we all departed. I was walking home. Hopefully Izzy could take all seven of them. A thought occurred to me that she has some perverts while we got the ones that weren't.
"I hope she'll do fine." I mumbled over my breath.
"Why love, she'll be fine. She'll torture them most of the time anyways." I heard England. I almost forgot he was shrunk. I almost asked where he was but I didn't. I finally got home.
"I apologize for her behavior today she normally isn't like this. " I let them out of their jars. "I will warn you, stay away from Jeanna cat and Quebec." Speaking of them both. Jeanna cat looked ready to pounce and the polar bear known as Quebec was just staring at them curiously. "No. You can't do anything to them unless they do something bad." I told my animals. I sighed. Well America wanted to play tag. So he tagged Matthew. Matthew tagged France. France tagged England.
"I don't have any time for these childish games." He placed his hand on Jeanna cat, tagging her. England ran and actually smiled. I thought it was cute. I was given the chance to play but I thought it would've been unfair since I was a giant compared to their 4-6 inches. I could tell this wasn't a bad idea. None of them caused me trouble yet. I just wondered how the others are doing with this.
~ Juliet's P.O.V. ~
When we got to my house I let them out. I let them do what they wanted to go. Romano found a tomato and started eating it. I was planning on saving that for later but I knew he loved it.
"Can I have pasta?" Italy asked. I said he could. That meant I had to make it but it means I get some too. "Veee~" I went into the kitchen and boiled the water to make the pasta.
"Get away from me and my siblings you damn potato bastard!" I heard Romano yell.
"Cut it out would ya?" I asked. I started getting maybe a little annoyed. I just had to push that aside. It passed. I realized I could've picked a different group or I'd be the one getting yelled at. They all seemed to be well behaved. Japan helped me get the others to be quiet. It was less stress for me. Germany and Romano did start at it again and I flicked both Germany and Romano. "If you don't mind, I need you to shut up." I put the pasta noodles in.
"Is the pasta done yet?" Italy asked. I shook my head.
"Not yet but soon." I told him. I had a smile on my face to make him feel better. This was fun taking care of small little countries.
~ Izzy's P.O.V. ~
I let all of the countries out of their jars. I warned them about my cats, Jeffery, and a couple of other things. I told them about some rules.
"Those are quite some rules, Senorita. You sound like a German." Mexico said. He heard fine but I was still mad.
"I understand. I know." I replied getting a bit more mad every time I look at the damned Russian. I started cursing under my breath. Waiting for someone to try to do something. They stood there. "You can do something if you wish. I'm not stopping you." Russia and Prussia were already gone. If those two are together, that means hell could possibly be raised. Funny, right after I say that, the stove started burning. I put that out and found those two. I hammered a nail to my wall and hung Russia there by his coat and Prussia I put him in a hamster jar to be chased around by cats, Jeffery, and the other animals I had. I wasn't exactly in the greatest mood.
"Can I have a taco, please?" Spain raised his hand and asked. I gave him one. He seemed happy.
"Yo, sexy Senorita, make me a taco." Mexico yelled rudely. I made him a taco but threw it at him. Everyone looked at the Mexican to see if he was ok or not.
"If he's dead... I don't care." Mexico was fine. He mumbled something but that didn't matter to me. "You do NOT talk to a 'lady' especially me like that, ye here?"
"Yes Scotland." One of them said. I turned around and glared at them to what seem like I had fire in my eyes.
"Which one of ye said that... I want honest truth." I looked at all of them. I know Spain didn't only because he isn't rude or mean to me. Prussia and Russia didn't. China knows better than to smart off to me. Austria was a smartass sometimes. It could've came from him. But I glared at Austria, Serbia, and Mexico. Mexico doesn't know many of the European countries anyways. "Serbia. Austria. Which one." I crossed my arms.
"Ok just to clarify, he whispered to me saying it." Austria admitted.
"That isn't true! Sister! He's putting words in my mouth!" Serbia started whining but then getting pissed. "I might've mumbled it but that doesn't mean I told you to say it you selfish ass hat!"
"Who are you calling an ass hat? You're the one with the serious issues." Austria comeback with before I told them to shut up. They wouldn't. I put Serbia is his jar, put it under a water faucet, and turned it on.
"Hope you can hold your breath." I smirked evilly. I came across Austria. I taped him to a ceiling fan and had turned it on. Making him spin around. I didn't care for their well being right now.
"Are you ok, aru?" China said. I felt bad that he had to witness such behavior. "If you must worry, I've had t deal with them for many years, same with you but you don't annoy me like the others. They are such douches." We both sighed and just watched everyone else's torture. I was enjoying most of their torture while he was a bit disturbed by it. I went to check up on Serbia. He was floating at the top of the jar. I stopped the water. Opened the jar, took him out, and emptied the jar. He was catching his breath.
"Da, well we'll just wait until England or someone messes up a spell and we'll see what happens to you." Harsh words came from him. I knew he wasn't serious. You can tell he was simply bluffing. I stopped the ceiling fan and got Austria off. He was unconscious, I just put him on my coffee table. I was going to get Prussia out of the hamster ball but he seemed to like it a bit. I got Russia down after being mad at him for a while.
"Why exactly are you mad at me?" The Russian asked tilting his head at me. I didn't want to acknowledge him. "If it was about this morning, that was a huge misunderstanding. Wont happen again." I sighed and crossed my arms. "Everything ok?"
"Well the others didn't exactly need to be shrunk. I feel bad. If I wasn't so worked up on trying to get you back, none of this would've happened." I got up and wanted to follow China around. Why? Because he wondered off for a little while and he was the person of sudden interest. Panda came in and started to chase his owner. I picked up panda before he did anymore harm. I patted panda's head and put him down. I tried gathering them all in the living room. I did but I had Jeffery problems.
"I want food!" Jeffery whined when there was a fridge. I went into the kitchen and made him a sandwich.
"Happy now?" I sighed. He took the sandwich and nodded. Jeffery went into the other room. I went back into the living room where the rest of them were. I find then as their younger chibi selves. At least their clothes grew too. I got a phone call. I answered it.
"WHY IN THE BLOODY HELL ARE WE CHILDREN AGAIN?!" England screamed in my ear. I swear I felt liquid running down from my ear. His voice was so childish when he said that, I about started laughing but I didn't want to be yelled at even more. Jeanna took the phone.
"I'm sorry for his behavior. How are they children?"
"I actually have no idear. I'm confused myself." I looked at Spain trying to play with fish. "No don't do that!" I put the phone down for a little. I got him down from the fish tank. "JEFFERY!" He poked his head through the doorway. "Watch these devilish children while I'm on the phone, please?" He sat down in a chair watching them. I picked the phone back up. "I apologize. Spain was going to play with fish."
"Alright... Sounds... Interesting. I think it'd be best to get the children over there?" I said yes. We hung up and there was a knock on my door. I open it and looked down to see chibi Germany glaring at me. I saw the others come.
"Well you're no longer 4-6 inches tall." I smiles and let them in.
"I find them cute looking." Juliet told me. I agreed. Japan examined my Doitsu koi fish along with China. Serbia was hitting Austria and Austria was trying to use a pillow as a shield. I face-palmed and separated them from each other.
After another hour or so, Jeanna got here. I told her to let herself in. England kicked me but it didn't hurt. I hit him in the face with a bible. He held his cheek.
"He's only a kid." Jeanna felt bad for him.
"Well for starters if a child kicks me there is no way in hell I'm not hitting them back. It's discipline. Children need discipline." I crossed my arms. "But I'd rather have Iggy as a kid here than Sealand. I love Sealand but he bothers me at times." Next thing you know Sealand barges in my house.
"Speak of the devil." England said with an annoyed face.
"Where is my best friend?" He looked at me with wide eyes and a smile. He started tugging on my shirt. I asked him to quiet down. He only got louder. "If you don't tell me where he is- YOU SHALL PLAY GAMES WITH ME!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me in the other room to play. This was against my will. I know how to deal with children but I haven't exactly played with children with such games and toys.
"LATVIA. Where the hell are you~?" I didn't want to upset Sealand but I had other things to do. Latvia came down. "Sealand's here. I have other things to do if you don't mind." Latvia nodded. Sealand and Latvia went outside to play.
~ Jeanna's P.O.V. ~
"I wonder when this is supposed to wear off." I started thinking. I saw Izzy come back with a book.
"The spells get stuck in my head for some reason." She said flipping through the book. She found the spell she did. "Isn't this jolly..."
"What is it?" Juliet and I were curious to know.
"Well there is not reversing the spell. It wears off. However, it wont wear off until 6 hours from now." She was annoyed. "Well they could try to pass the time by." Sealand had to go. Latvia snuck back in the house.
"And how might we do that~?" France-pants asked.
"Sleeping is a way." I mentioned. Izzy said exactly. I guess most of them wanted to get it done and over with. The only one's who couldn't sleep very well were France, Serbia, Prussia, and Spain. Everyone else slept. Izzy and I were awake too. Juliet fell asleep out of boredom. Spain kept looking at the fish tank. "Do you have any music?" I asked. Izzy nodded.
"Do you want to compose music or get records?" She asked.
"If you'd like to compose music, that's fine with me." She owned two pianos. One in the living room and one is the music room. She cracked her knuckles and decided to play. She played something sweet in the beginning then it got bittersweet. She sang along with it.
It is not bad . Let them play.
Lets the guns bark and the bombing-plane.
Speak his prodigious blasphemies.
It is not bad, it is high time,
Stark violence is still the sire of all the world's values.
What but the wolf's tooth whittled so fine
The fleet limbs of the antelope?
What but fear winged the birds, and hunger
Jewelled with such eyes the great goshawk's head?
Violence has been the sire of all the world's values.
Who would remember Helen's face
Lacking the terrible halo of spears?
Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar,
The cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?
Violence, the bloody sire of all the world's values.
Never weep, let them play,
Old violence is not too old to beget new values.
"The tune you played was sweet but when you listen to what you say it's-" I was interrupted.
"Well I thought it was pretty." Prussia said. Serbia and Spain fell asleep. "Can you play another song?" Prussia's eyes widened wanting her to. She shrugged. She played an older one. Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I told her she might need to play the slower ones. They still didn't want to sleep. We were a bit annoyed. We went into the kitchen and warmed up milk and put maple syrup for flavor. "Play another song." They both insisted.
"Wait, don't you play all instruments?" She nodded with France's question. "Can you play a song on the violin?" She nodded. I gave them their sippy cups filled with the maple syrup milk. She started playing something in the lines of depression and very beautiful. I checked from her and them. I could tell the milk was affecting them. France started to fall asleep but he was trying to hang in there. The "Awesome" one was still awake but he looked like he'd be able to pass out in the next 30 minutes. I swapped France's sippy cup for a stuffed animal. I put the cup in the kitchen and took her violin in the room with the other equipment.
"Ok, one more song then you're going to have to go to sleep, alright?" Izzy said. We had at least another three to four hours until they're normal again. I needed peace and quiet. Composed music helped me though. She played once more on her piano. It was a song she made on her own. I remembered hearing this one. I liked it. She got into her music a lot like Austria did. She stopped. I didn't realize it but she played it twice. I looked at Prussia and saw him asleep. Izzy had Gilbird on her head and I took the cup and she put Gilbird by his owner. He looked very peaceful just sleeping there. She and I retreated quietly. She let me sleep in a guest room while she slept in her room.
~.*Time skip*.~
"Jeanna! Jeanna! Jeanna!" I was woken up by a hyperactive Juliet. I glared at her for waking me up and about giving me a heart attack. I got up and went downstairs. There were many stories to this house. The men were now their actual age. Everything was quiet. "Izzy. Izzy~ IZZY~!" Then there was a gun shot. They both came downstairs.
"Is everything ok?" I raised my eyebrow and Germany went to hug Juliet. "Izzy you're normally good about waking up and you don't normally sleep for long."
"I just fell asleep." She wiped her eyes. She sat down at the table and slammed her head on it.
"Everything alright?" Jarvis looked curiously at her giving her tea. She mumbled something but he understood what she said. He smiled and went on doing what he was going to do. She put her head up. Serbia started smacking her face playfully to wake her up.
"Can I help you?" She asked. He said nothing but started smiling. "Devilish child." She smiled lightly. He stopped smacking her. She drank her tea.
"You're the one to talk and you're younger than I am." He smiled and gave her a noogie.
"Quite a day it was yesterday." England stated.
"It sure was." I said slower "It sure was."
