"That cake was good." Alex said while wiping her mouth. "I wonder if there's more." Alex looked around the room and noticed something strange.

"W-what's going on?"

Slowly the items around her shrank as she grew bigger, almost taking up the whole room. She was forced to bring her knees up against her body as the space for her legs decreased. Startled and scared of what was happening to her, she lifted her head up and instantly wacked it against the ceiling. Tears began dripping down Alex's face as she clutched her head.

"Ow!" She cried out.

Tears continued rolling down Alex's face as the throbbing in her head slowly disappeared. Alex was too much in pain to notice the rising water level caused by her tears. "Okay, on my tenth birthday when I wished I was taller, I didn't mean it like this!"

"E-excuse me," a little voice said, catching her attention.

Alex then noticed that she was getting soaked by the puddle of water she created as she looked down towards the voice. That was when she saw a small, black haired man wearing a grey kimono and matching mouse ears trying to swim by her feet.

"C-can you please stop crying?" the man asked. "I'm going to drown."

Alex just shook her head. "I'm sorry little random mouse wearing a bathrobe, I can't stop."

Alex noticed the man's eye twitched. "If I save you, can you help me?"

The little mouse nodded as the water was up to his chin now. Alex quickly picked up the mouse and placed him into a small pink teacup that was floating by.

"Okay now that is settled, make me small again!"

"Umm…"

"What? I saved you like you asked, now make me tiny!"

"Y-you just placed me in the t-tea."

"What tea?"

"The tea that will make you small again."

"….Oh….. Okay," Alex said calmly, slightly unnerving the mouse, before doing a completely 180, "Why didn't you tell me sooner! You slow minded, little piece of-!"

Alex began throwing a tantrum, slamming her fists into the water, created large tidal wave which seems like small ripples to the giant Alex.

"Well, I guess I'm stuck here, forever… and ever, and ever…" Alex said defectively.

Alex continued to sulk as the little mouse glanced around nervously inside the teacup. His head suddenly snapped to the side as he just saw a flicker of a shadow figure. The shadow stroke fear into the mouse causing him to shrieked, "Hurry, drink the tea! It's coming! It's coming!"

"What's coming?" Alex asked, surprised by the mouse's sudden fear.

"T-t-the.." the man turned pale and sat there, frozen in the small teacup.

"Dude! Talk to me! You're freaking me out!" Making a split decision, Alex quickly picked up the small teacup to her face. She glanced in distain at the liquid with the man shivering in it. Closing her eyes and holding her breath, she chugged down the tea while the man holds for his dear life on the rim of the cup. Once she finished, she started to cough vigorously, disgusted, as she felt the liquid flow down her throat.

"Yuck! Ewww, I think I just swallowed a hair. You better not be covered in disease," Alex told the man before she felt a tingling sensation spreading throughout her body. Immediately there was a 'poof' and white clouds covered her vision. Once it cleared, Alex looked down and found herself several feet above the water.

"Oh shi-" Alex, fell, unable to finished her sentence. Alex struggled in the air, waving her arms around like a mental duck, wondering what was the best position to be when she lands in the water. Not having enough time to think, Alex landed in the water with a huge splash. Instantly she swam up and broke through the surface, greedily gulping down air. Alex swung her hand around, trying to find something she could hold on to. Alex then felt something grab her hand and pulled her up out of the water.

"Quickly! Get up before it gets to you!" It was the man.

"Before what gets to me?!" Alex asked, failing to get into the teacup.

"Just hurry and get in!" the man helped Alex into the teacup and used his hands to paddle towards the door. Alex felt a bump from under the teacup and the man shrieked again.

"It's here!" Feeling the man's fear, Alex started panicking as well. So she bolted to the side of the cup and helped the man paddle to the door. The flow of the water grew faster as they neared the keyhole. It was like they were going river rafting down a river before the fall to their doom over a waterfall. The water pushed them through the hole before they started to slow down. The water slowly disappeared underneath them before they came to a complete stop outside of a forest.

The man, noticing that they had stopped, quickly got out of the teapot and fled into the forest. "Well bye! I-It was nice meeting you!"

"Wait! What's your name?" Alex quickly got out of the teapot. She heard the man yell 'Japan' before he disappeared into the forest.

Alex took a look around, not noticing the shadowy figure slinking behind her. Suddenly the figure attacked Alex… glomping her into a hug, forcing the breath out of her.

"Alex! I was so frightened! The big hole was super scary and you know my fear of heights and all! Remember that time when I was stuck in that tree? I was so scared! All of that water too! I almost drowned! Anyways, Alex I'm so happy that I've found you!" a voice stumbled beside Alex's ear.

Alex's face started to turn an interesting shade of blue. "C-can't b-breathe." Alex choked out.

"I'm sorry!" the figure exclaimed as he let go of Alex causing her kiss the ground. Alex took a few seconds to catch her breath, coughing out the dirt filtering her mouth before she turned to look at the figure.

"What the…" Standing in front of her is an extremely handsome young man with straight blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Alex also noticed a small curl of hair on top of his head. The man was wearing a large beige sweater and white jeans. On top of his head was matching coloured cat ears and a matching tail sprouting from his buttocks.

"Who are you?" Alex asked.

"I'm Canada! Your sister's cat!" Canada proudly announced.

"Shouldn't you be with her then?" Alex deadpanned.

Canada smiled and said in a cutesy tone, "Secretly, I like you better."

Alex stared at him, her eyes twitching as she watched his left ear twitch and his tail wagging back and forth. She calmly wondered if she should bring him along with her so that she could bring him back to her sister so that her sister can torture him or to leave him behind so that this world can murder him.

Suddenly she realized something. "Wait, if you're our cat, why are you human?"

"Um… I turned human when we fell through the hole." Canada cautiously said.

"What do you mean by 'we'?" Alex said, trying to remember if she recalled a cat anywhere near her.

"You didn't notice me Alex?" Canada asked, tearing up a bit.

Alex simply shook her head. "I don't remember seeing you."

"Alex! I was with you the whole time! I jumped in the hole after you did and landed on a pile of pots. Then I quickly got up and saw you run through a door. After that, you were trying to get through a small door. I saw you talking to yourself and saying that there was no way you were going to lick some sort of liquid so I scratched the wall because I saw a golden key hanging from the ceiling."

"Wait, the scratching was you?" Canada nodded as he continued his explanation, unaware of the sinister thoughts Alex was having of him. He was the cause of all the misfortune she was having. Here she though black cats was unlucky, but she guess she was wrong. It was the beige cats you had to look out for.

"After you ate the cake you grew and started crying. I was practically drowning and tried to get a mouse to help. Sadly, he freaked out and you helped him leaving me in the cold water. When you turned tiny again, I tried my best to save you, but that mouse got to you first. I saw you two struggling to get to the door and so I helped by pushing you two. And now here we are!" Alex didn't know what to do. Part of her wanted the company while the other part just wanted to strangle the nine lives out of the cat.

"So it was you who was causing all that mischief," Alex said giving Canada cold smile. Canada gulped as he slowly nodded.

Quick as lightning Alex's had shot out and began tugging rather harshly on Canada's right ear. "Well I ought to skin you before butchering you up and eat you alive myself! I heard cats are a delicacy in Asia! Wait!" Alex yelled, pausing for a moment, "Would that make me a cannibal?"

Alex pondered for a bit, giving Canada a moment to prepare himself before she gave up and went back to shouting abuse to the cat-man. Alex tugged Canada forward by his ears as she dragged him into the forest with her, Canada still being verbally abused.

Despite the abuse, Canada was glad to be with her. He'd rather be there than with her sister. Canada shivered at the thought of her sister. Never again was he ever going back to his, urg, torturous, master.
