Chapter eight

It took the group a few hours, but by later that afternoon they reached Denmark's house. Eager to have some help with the situation, Germany knocked on the front door, then stood back expectantly.

"Hey Ice, get the door will ya!" Denmark called out from somewhere inside the house.

"It's your house, get it yourself," Iceland ordered back.

"Sounds like Nordic bonding time isn't going so well," France commented as they listened to the argument. As he said this, he could not help but notice England move behind him and grip tighter to his pant legs.

After a few more moments of arguments, the door finally opened to reveal Denmark who without even looking commented, "Hello, how can I help you?"

"Hi Denmark," Germany greeted.

Denmark instantly looked down when he heard the younger voice, only to see that his guests included a child Germany and Romano. He then complained, "Ah, man, why did you have to go and become a kid. Here I was going to ask you if you wanted to drink at your house tomorrow. I doubt any bar would let a kid drink though."

"Hey, it looks like Germany really does have some friends besides Japan and Italy," Spain commented.

"So let me guess, England did it?" Denmark asked.

"Right you are mon ami. We heard that Norway might be here. Is he?" France answered then asked.

"He's in the living room. What, can't England fix his own curses?...where is England?" Denmark asked. In response, France moved out of the way slightly so that Denmark could see the child England. Denmark looked dumbstruck as the child stared at him frantically. The Dane then gave a wicked grin and continued, "Hey, England, I'm going to get you!"

As he said this he pounced towards England, only for England to burst into tears and grip tighter to France. Upon seeing this France called out, "Hey, hey, England it's okay! He's not going to get you. Now stop gripping me so hard before I get bruises!"

"What's going on out here?" Norway asked as he came to the door. He had heard a commotion and was curious. All it took was for him to see the younger nations for him to understand what happened and asked, "Let me guess, England played a curse and does not know how to fix it, so you came to me."

"Do you think you can?" Spain asked.

"Do you think you can make Denmark stop scaring England?" France asked as he tried to calm down the child.

Norway sighed then requested, "Why don't we all come in and you can give me the whole story."

With this said the group entered the house and headed to the living room. The other Nordics gave a curious look when they saw the group, to which Norway asked, "Would you guys mind going someplace else while I talked with my guests?"

"Why are some of them children?" Iceland asked, refusing to leave his place on the sofa until he got an answer.

"So is that a little Italy or a little Romano?" Finland asked.

"I'm Romano you fucking idiot," Romano answered.

"Careful, Romano, you don't want to be put on Santa's naughty list," Denmark casually commented.

To his surprise, Romano looked thoughtful for a moment, as if contemplating if his one outburst would really get him on the naughty list. Before he could comment his thoughts on this, Germany commented, "Oh ya!" then try to go through Prussia's pockets.

"What are you looking for?" Prussia asked.

"Italy wanted us to keep in ouch with him if anything changed, remember," Germany answered. Prussia gave a look of remembrance to this and handed Germany his phone.

"So you're going to talk with Italy while we talk with Norway?" France asked. Germany nodded to this and left for a different room.

"Okay guys, everyone out," Norway ordered as he pulled Iceland off of the sofa then pushed him and Finland out of the room. Once the other Nordics were gone, Norway continued, "So tell me exactly what happened."

"England tried to curse Spain, Prussia, and I by turning some of our past charges younger. Only he got turned younger and like the last time he was this age forgot how to read. Then the idea came to us that maybe you could help him figure out how to turn them back to their right ages," France answered.

"We brought the books that England thinks the spell was in," Spain continued.

Norway looked in thought for a moment, then answered, "I will help on one condition. I want England to ask me to help him."

The group looked to England, who was pouting at the request. After a moment he finally answered, "Fine. Norway, can you please help change us back to normal?"

"What's the magic word?" Norway asked.

"…Please," England reluctantly answered.

"Alright, show me the books," Norway answered as he then looked to the pile of books the others brought. He could only hope that after this England would consider putting his favorite curses in one book.

As he considered this Germany re-entered the room and handed Prussia back his phone. As he did so, Prussia asked, "How's Italy?"

"Busy. He said he wanted to come but his boss just gave Romano a lot of work that he has to do since Romano's still a kid," Germany answered.

"That's too bad. I bet he really would have liked to join us," Spain commented.

Germany nodded to this as he sat next to Prussia. He could not help but think as he looked over to Romano, that the Italian looked a little guilty. Romano may not be the most active nation, and at times seemed to have no qualms with letting other people do his work; whether it be Spain or Italy. But, perhaps, even he realized that it was making things harder on others and that it was not always fair.
