While England was panicking about Canada, Canada was panicking about whatever England had done. What exactly had happened to his new found baby sister? She'd said that she felt unwell, but according to Norway, nearly every spell made you feel sick. He had now borrowed a book of symptoms from the Nordic country and was flipping through.
The transformation spells all made you feel sick, apparently. Half of them caused dizziness if inhaled, and half of those caused shock. He had a list of ones which needed to be made in large amounts, and his brain suddenly lightbulbed.
Why would England bring it to the meeting unless it needed supervision?
There was only one that required a long time of supervision aside from the one from Wales. It turned the recipient into a fairy.
Which explained why Coats Island had disappeared.
Because Canada couldn't see her…
But Norway could. He grabbed the Nordic gently by the arm and tugged him along, determined to reach Coats Island before danger did.
…
"So you're saying that even with your mighty and powerful black magic, you can't turn me back."
England's face reddened and he hid his face with a fold of his cloak.
"Well, yes. And it's more difficult than you'd think!"
The wings vibrated again and Coats Island flew quickly up to England's head where she hid in his hair.
"Why are they all trying to talk to me? I've had enough with your flying imaginaries, you…" She tugged on his hair and he half smiled at the island. She was very cute, and acted like Sealand for some reason.
"How come I don't see you at the meetings?"
"Because I'm invisible usually. I'll try and catch attention but no one notices. Same thing happens to Canada; at least I don't get sat on." England's eyes widened slightly as he thought about poor Canada, getting continuously ignored by all the other countries. Coats Island nodded at him, satisfied and he went back to the happy smile. "Coats Island is so cute like this…" He picked her up and she tried to bite his finger.
"If you've done this before then I can see where Jim Henson got his inspiration for the annoyed fairies in Labyrinth. Honestly, can you just not turn me back so I don't get annoyed with you?"
The door opened with a bang and Canada stood there, furious.
"England! Where's Coats Island?"
England looked up as Coats Island perched on his finger and sulked and laughed nervously. "Oh, hi, Canada!" Coats Island sighed, realising Canada couldn't see her. She spotted who he'd brought with him and waved at Norway, who blinked slowly.
"She's sitting on his hand." Norway began to wave his hands about slightly and Coats Island flew upwards before landing on the ground full sized, and unable to see any more imaginaries/ magical creatures.
Coats Island stood upwards and seized her brother in a hug. "You ran away! I tried to stop you and I was so tiny!" She began to cry a little and Canada patted her dark blonde hair, smiling while giving out a creepy aura that Coats Island seemed completely oblivious to.
"Hey, Norway, can you take care of Coats Island for a minute? I need to talk to England for a minute…"
Norway nodded, picking up Coats Island and taking her outside with Kumajiro, and Coats Island looked up.
"What's brother doing to make England scream like that?"
Norway looked down at her and blocked her ears with his hands.
…
England had a black eye, and hung his head.
"Coats Island, I am most terribly sorry." He looked down and then sideways.
"Would you care to come to tea sometime?"
Coats Island was silent for a minute and then smiled sunnily. "Of course!"
Next chapter will be the tea party!
