It was just before a World meeting, and England and China- and a few more unimportant nations -were the only ones there. England wished for a piece of paper or something so that he could doodle, but he didn't want to have to get up and find one.
"Hey England, do you want some bubble tea, aru?" China suddenly asked, holding out a glass of the strange thingy. England looked at it distrustfully.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I told you, it's bubble tea, aru! Do you want some, aru?"
"...Can you... eat it with... scones?" England asked. China snorted with laughter.
"Of course not, aru! You just drink it! Here, try some!" He shoved the glass into England's hand
Suddenly Korea was there, staring wide-eyed at the bubble tea. "Did you know," he said in an intense whisper. "that bubble tea was invented in Korea, da ze?"
China rolled his eyes. "No it wasn't! It was invented in China!"
Suddenly Hong Kong showed up, deadpanned, as usual. "It was invented in Hong Kong."
Taiwan showed up suddenly, looking outraged. "It was invented in Taiwan! I can even tell you the story! It started in the 1980's when some Chinese guy went to Japan and saw cold-served coffee so decided to make cold-served tea-"
Suddenly China butted in again, with a small aru! "-and then, during a meeting in '88, some lady was eating some sort of Tapioca pudding thing, aru-
"Fen yuan!" Taiwan corrected. "It's Taiwanese!"
"Yeah, so they were eating that, aru-" China began.
"-and they poured it into their tea, sort of as a joke." Hong Kong said, looking slightly triumphant.
"I wanted to tell that part, da ze!" Korea said. "That's the part where it's invented in Korea!"
All of the other Asian countries turned to look at their brother, glaring. "It was invented in Taiwan, Korea." Taiwan said.
"Yeah," agreed Hong Kong.
"It's true," China said.
"But wait!" England protested. "You all just said that it was invented in your countries, and now suddenly it was invented in Taiwan? That's outrageous! Where was it actually invented?"
"In Korea-"
"In Taiwan," Hong Kong interrupted.
"Then why did you say that it was invented in Hong Kong?" England asked, huge, caterpillar-y eyebrows furrowed into a deep glare.
"I thought we were playing a game," Hong Kong said. "Were they all serious?"
"Well, China did help to make it, aru." China said.
"Did not!" Taiwan protested. "It was all Taiwan! All of it!"
"You never would have had cold tea if it weren't for China!" China insisted.
"Anyone can make cold tea." Taiwan said scornfully.
"But I was the one who did, so I helped to make bubble tea!"
"I would have made cold tea soon, so really you didn't help at all!"
"Yeah, but I made it first, and so you made bubble tea sooner, so that means I helped!"
"No you didn't!"
"Yes I did, aru!"
"No you didn't!"
"Yes I did!"
England looked around frantically as the door opened and, for once, he was actually happy to see America. He ran over to the blond, bomber-jacket-wearing country and grabbed him by the front of his shirt. "Make them stop fighting!" he said hotly. "Use your... y-your hero powers, you wanker!"
America's eyes grew wide and his smile grew wider. "Iggy, did you just say that I was a HERO?!" he asked. "You've finally admitted to yourself that I am your hero?"
England blushed. "Wh-what are you on about, you arse! You're not my hero! They're just all arguing over there, so make them stop! You're friend with their brother Japan, aren't you? S-so go get him and make them stop fighting, because they're annoying!"
America made a face. "All right, Queen Elizabeth."
England eyes bulged. "What did you-"
"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" the annoying American yelled. He ran off cackling, leaving England to stare after him, jaw slack with surprise.
America had gotten his Queens wrong.
A/N Okay, so I had a request for the invention of bubble tea, so I looked it up (because I figured, what the hell, might as well. And also that if anyone showed up and is like "BITCH, THAT IS NOT HOW IT WAS INVENTED!" and yells at me that would make me sad in my heart) and DUDE, ALL THIS SHIT I JUST WROTE TOTALLY FUCKING HAPPENED, LIKE WHAT THE FUCK? But it's also fabulous. X3 Anyways, if you've got any requests post a review and then I will bow to you and loudly proclaim my awesomeness. XD
And I'm so sorry that this was short too! DX At least there's two of them, right? Riiiiight?! *frantic*
