Here's the newest chapter of Curse of the Genie! And good news! Iggy explains stuff! But wow! 5 reviews, 7 favs, and 5 alerts! I WUV YOU GUYS! GRAZIE! XD …and I need to lay off the sugar again. -_-; Strange how often that happens…

Don't own Hetalia…but I still want to….

"…what the bloody hell are you ranting about now Spain? Did years of drinking with your so called friends finally destroy what's left of your intelligence?" Arthur asked with a look that obviously said that he didn't believe them.

"UGH! Will you fucking LISTEN bastard? We already told you! For some damn reason when the tomato bastard wished for a tomato I felt something happened and when my fingers snapped a tomato appeared in his hand!" Lovino yelled.

"Si~! I was watching Lovi the whole time! Right before he snapped his fingers and made the tomato appear his eyes glazed over for a second!" Antonio perked up while holding on to Lovino protectively.

When he heard that Arthur stiffed. "W-wait…it was right after his eyes glazed over and he snapped his fingers that a tomato appeared?"

"Uh, yeah, dumbass! That's what we've been trying to tell you this whole fucking time bastard!" Lovino growled.

"..B-bollocks! It wasn't supposed to happen to YOU!" Arthur yelled. "It was supposed to happen to that damn frog!"

Lovino's eye twitched, "and…just what was supposed to happen to the French bastard?"

Arthur quickly looked away and muttered, "the potion I made was supposed to turn that wanker into a genie…I thought that a few centuries of servitude would help cure his pervertedness…."

Both Lovino and Antonio stared at Arthur in shock before Lovino yelled, "A fucking GENIE? You can't be serious bastard."

Arthur simply said, "oh, but I am Romano. Please tell me that you noticed the bottle next to your leg." Then he pointed at it.

"Huh? Bottle?" Lovino asked as he looked down and saw it. It looked like the one from the TV show 'I Dream of Jeannie' except that the colors on it were of the Italian flag. "…you have got to be kidding me. Someone just wake me up from this damn nightmare already…."

"I'm afraid that this isn't just a nightmare Romano." Arthur said while standing up and walking to the door. "But I suppose we'll have to go explain this to the others right now."

!~!~!~!~!

Surprisingly the explanation went very well.

"DUUUDDEE! So Romano's all magical and stuff now? AWESOME! I wish-!" Alfred started to say but got cut off by Arthur covering up his mouth.

"Before this git goes and does something completely stupid, I need to give you all a warning. While it's okay for all of you to make wishes you need to think about them very carefully because you don't know what the consequences of them could be."

Everyone stood around in silence for a couple of seconds until Alfred laughed and said, "Man you are such a worry-wart Iggy! You really need to loosen up! Anyway I wish that I had a really awesome super hero outfit and super powers!"

Lovino groaned to himself as he felt his arm move and his fingers snap.

Now Alfred was outfitted with the stereotypical spandex and cape costume that you always see in the old super hero shows. "AWESOME!" Alfred yelled as he jumped up into the air and started flying around the room. "It's a bird! It's a plane! NO!...it's HERO-MAN! DA DADA!"

Just about everyone in the room face-palmed when they heard that.

!~!~!~!~!

Lovino was feeling ready to beat his head against the wall because of all this genie business. It was okay (and not surprising) with Feliciano making a wish for pasta, but now he had people like Feliks (who the hell wants more ponies anyway? The cross-dresser has more than enough!) making wishes. Francis had tried to make one but Lovino ran off before he had the chance to say anything.

After running off Lovino leaned against a wall and slumped down to the floor.

"Are you okay mi amor?" Lovino looked up and as Antonio sat down next to him.

"Do I fucking look okay bastard? All these people are treating me like their damn slave!" Lovino cried.

"Ah..Si…I guess that would be a problem wouldn't it?" Antonio said and then he said with smile, "But just know that I'm here for you~! I won't let anything happen to you. Ever."

Lovino blushed and then quickly turned his head away. "F-Fine…do whatever you want to bastard." He stuttered.

They sat in awkward silence for a few minutes until they heard Arthur yell, "Why the bloody hell are you wearing different glasses Alfred?"

"Because every superhero needs a secret identity! Duh!"

"UGH! YOU ARE SO- I SWEAR SOMETIMES I JUST WISH THAT YOU WOULD SHUT UP!"

Lovino sighed as he felt his arm move and fingers snap. But this time felt a little different. As soon as he had finished granting Arthur's wish it looked like everything around him grew.

He looked up at Antonio who stuttered, "I-I think that we need to talk to Inglaterra again."

!~!~!~!~!

"Will someone tell me what the hell is going on now?" Lovino demanded as Arthur was busy checking him. After he spoke he realized how weird his voice sounded.

"Yes, I'll explain it. But first you might want to look in that mirror over there." Arthur said while pointing.

Lovino rolled his eyes and then looked at the mirror, and then he jumped back in shock. Instead of seeing his normal 22 year old self he saw what looked like (and apparently sounded like) a 5 year old version of himself.

"W-What the hell! H-How did this happen?" Lovino stuttered as he looked away from the mirror and back at Arthur.

"It's your body's way of conserving energy." Arthur stated.

"HUH?"

"Ugh, let me rephrase it. To start with a genie doesn't actually have a body. They are basically made up of a magical essence, the same essence that allows them to grant wishes. When this essence is severely depleted the genie's body takes a smaller form that is easier to maintain. In Romano's case it is his childhood body." Arthur said from memory.

"WAIT! Don't tell me that I'm stuck like this bastard!" Lovino yelled.

"No, you're not. As soon as your body builds up enough essence you'll return to your normal size."

"OOHHH! So like a battery!" Alfred perked up.

Arthur sighed, "Yes, I suppose for a non magic user that term would suffice." Ignoring Alfred's cheers about how smart he is Arthur continued. "Thankfully since his magical essence is depleted Romano is unable to grant anymore wishes right now, so I guess this could serve a temporary break for him."

"Yeah….whoop-de-fucking-do." Lovino muttered.

!~!~!~!~!

Later that night Lovino laid in bed looking up at the ceiling.

When he let out a yawn Antonio walked over and hugged him. "aw~ you look so cute mi amor~! You look just like you used too! Remember how you used to always climb into my bed in the middle of the night when you got scared from noises?"

"Of course I remember I'm not a dumbass like a certain tomato bastard I know. So shut up and let me go to sleep already." Lovino grumbled as he rolled over onto his side.

"Si~! I will! Buenas noches Lovi~!" Antonio said as he laid down and pulled the covers up.

When Lovino was sure that Antonio was asleep he whispered. "Bouna notte…Antonio.." Then he fell asleep too without noticing the small smile on Antonio's mouth.

…somebody draw that picture of them! I wanna see it! ..I'd draw it myself but I lack the drawing skills for it. T^T

Anywho..Review!
