Chapter five
"Okay, Wes, how do these clothes feel?" Prussia asked as he pulled a new t-shirt over his younger brother's head then took a step back. In response, Germany tried to move around in the new clothes to then nod that they were satisfactory.
"Good, then my awesome sense of your size was correct," Prussia replied relieved as he picked up the rest of the bag filled with child-sized clothes. He then continued, "Then we should pack up and head over to England's house."
"So it was England's fault? If so then why do we need to go over there? He did this to me from his house so why can't he do the same?" Germany complained.
"France did not go into too much detail, but apparently he asked me to bring you and for Spain to bring Romano," Prussia answered as he looked through Germany's items to pack necessary toiletries along with a few things for himself. He was not sure how long they would be at England's house, but since it was already the afternoon he assumed that they would most likely spend the night somewhere.
"The same thing happened to Romano too?" Italy asked.
"Ya, according to Spain, Romano is roughly ten years old now. That's why he was not answering his phone," Prussia answered.
A look of disappointment came over Italy as he heard this, only to then comment, "Hey, as much as I would like to come with you guys and check on Romano, I think I should probably go home. I was hoping that he would have done my work, but since he's a kid I doubt he did his own let alone mine. But keep me in the loop, okay?"
"Sure, we'll tell you as soon as we learn anything," Germany agreed with a nod. Italy smiled at this, happy to see that his friend was still acting all in-control like he was used to. With this, Italy said his goodbyes and left. A few minutes later, Prussia buckled Germany into his car and they were off to England's house.
Prussia and Germany arrived at the same time as Spain and Romano; Romano no longer in a bed sheet but in appropriate sized clothes. As they met, Romano had to hold back a laugh at seeing the now smaller then him Germany while Spain gushed at seeing the small Germany in person. Germany glared at the other two nations for this, not pleased to feel like he was being made fun of. Prussia noticed this, and took the chance to laugh at how ridiculous Romano looked as a kid.
After a few moments of Romano shouting, France opened the door and greeted his friends. In response, Romano shouted at him, "Forget the hellos, where's that bastard who did this to me?!"
"I agree, where is he and why isn't he fixing this?" Germany also asked.
"Well, England is currently in time out. That's part of the reason why I asked you guys to come over," France answered. When he saw the confused looks of the others, he allowed them in and led them to the kitchen. There seated on a stool in the corner sat a young England scowling at the world.
The room was silent for a moment as the guests saw the sight, only for both Romano and Prussia go into a laughing fit. As the two laughed at him, England blushed and yelled back, "What are you lot doing here? And stop laughing at me, you guys look just as ridiculous as me!"
"I'm a bit confused, why would England turn himself into a little kid?" Spain asked France.
"According to England, the spell used turn each of our favorite past charges into children. And he forgot that for a while I was in charge of him," France answered.
"That still shouldn't have counted! You stupid Frog, this is all yours and your idiot friends fault!" England yelled as he heard what France was telling Spain.
"England, I've already told you, you can't leave time out until you stop yelling names at me," France replied both sternly and a little smugly. England looked a little deflated at this, as he reluctantly went back to glaring at the unwanted guests. France nodded when he saw this and continued, "Good. Now stay like that for another three minutes and you can leave time out, alright?"
"Fine," England complained more than answered. He then spotted the absence of one person and asked, "I thought Germany was here. Where did he go?"
To the question the others looked around to the then hear a clatter from by the stove. Instantly alert, both Prussia and France rushed to the other side of the peninsula to the stove to see the frying pan with the dinner on the floor and a seated and startled Germany next to it.
"Wes are you okay? What happened?" Prussia asked as he reached his brother and looked him over for any damage. Despite the hot water and food from the pan now on the floor, it looked like Germany was more startled then injured.
"I was hungry and wanted to see what France was making," Germany answered as Prussia helped him to his feet.
Prussia gave an annoyed growl and asked, "Then why didn't you just ask instead of trying to move a hot pan. You know better than that!"
Germany looked at his feet for a moment, displeased to have his brother yell at him. At last he replied, "Italy let me help him cook lunch. And I was curious."
"Is Italy here?" Prussia asked.
"Nein…"
"And now that the food is ruined does your curiosity really matter anymore?" Prussia continued.
"…Nein…sorry bruder," Germany reluctantly answered.
"Apologize to France also," Prussia nodded with a sigh. He was relieved to see that his brother was not injured and that he could at least still understand some reason. But at the same time he did not understand why his brother would make such a childish mistake.
"Thank you for the apology Germany. Speaking of Italy, I would have figured he'd followed you here," France commented after Germany reluctantly apologized to France.
"Italy said that he wanted to go home and do his and Romano's work since he figured that Romano didn't do it," Germany answered.
"Well, that would be true. When I mentioned the idea to Romano he threw a fit," Spain commented casually.
"I did not! I simply stated that I could not do adult work like paperwork since I'm a kid! Speaking of kids, now what are we going to do for dinner since that little kid over there decided to ruin it? You promised me food tomato-bastard," Romano complained.
"Well, when I got here it looked like England needed to go grocery shopping, so it looks like we'll be ordering delivery," France commented.
With this said, the group split into the groups of Prussia, Germany, and France to clean up the mess while Spain and Romano chose what to order and called for the delivery. Half an hour later, the group was seated to dinner. After dinner, Spain decided to ask, "So that was a good dinner, but now back to the reason we're all here. When is England going to turn him and the others back to normal."
England visibly jerked at the mention. Seeing that England was not eager to admit his problem, France explained, "Along with turning himself younger, England forgot how to read. Because of that, he can't change himself and the others back. That's why I called you guys over. Maybe if we put our heads together we can figure this out."
"How could you forget how to read?" Germany asked.
"Well, when I was last this age most of my population couldn't read so neither did I," England weakly answered.
"Okay, so then how are we supposed to fix this?" Spain asked.
"Doesn't his brothers also know stuff about magic? Maybe one of them -," Prussia began only for England to cut off with, "-NO!"
The group was silent by England sudden start, only for France to explain, "When I brought up that idea he gave me the same response."
"What, along with forgetting how to read you became a wimp when it comes to your brothers?" Romano asked. England made no response to this other then to look away with a scowl.
"So, then what are we going to do?" Prussia asked. When no one responded right away, he looked at the clock to see that it was already late at night. He then commented, "Well, it looks like we probably will have to wait until tomorrow to figure that out."
"What? No! I have work to do tomorrow," Germany protested.
"That's okay, I had a feeling this might happen so I used my awesome forethought and told your boss you were taking some time off," Prussia answered.
Germany looked like part of him wanted to protest against this plan, but instead looked over to England and asked, "Does he even have room for all of us? This isn't exactly a large house."
"I have three bedrooms, counting my own. I suppose there would be room for everyone," England answered as he hid a yawn behind his hand.
"Are you tired now England?" France asked.
"I'm not tired, it's only *pm," England answered.
"8pm…I suppose that would mean that it's your bedtime," France commented with a slight smile.
"You are not in charge of when I go to bed," England retorted.
"Oh, but you turned people smaller to help us relearn how to act like adults. And being an adult taking care of a child means making sure that they go to bed on time," France replied with a slight smile. With this said, he stood up and picked a fussing England up. He then proceeded to take England up to his room as the others watched.
"Are you getting tired Romano?" Spain asked, only for his charge to scowl and say no.
"What about you Wes?" Prussia asked.
"Bruder, you don't ask the kid if he wants to go to bed," Germany answered.
"Okay then, it is getting late. How about I tell you a story like when you were little to get you in the mood for bed," Prussia offered.
At first Germany looked as if to dismiss the idea, only to instead ask, "Which story?"
Prussia could not help but laugh at this as he led Germany to the first guest room.
Well stop here for now
