To amuse the children and hopefully lull them to sleep, America started by telling a story about a dashing young gentleman named Arthur, who once sailed across an ocean seeking adventure, and Canada continued by adding his friend and rival by the name of Francis, as depraved as he was handsome, and he was absolutely gorgeous. America then recounted their exploration of the New World, how they adopted two tiny orphans they found there, named Alfred and Matthew. And how Alfred and Matthew got kidnapped by ninja-pirates…who flew an airship… to the lost city of Atlantis, which had resurfaced of course… and Arthur summoned a dragon… they flew to rescue Alfred and Matthew on this dragon… but were attacked by alien robots… but then a giant whale ate them… who, the robots or Arthur and Francis… umm, Arthur and Francis… okay… but it was a friendly whale, so they were fine… and this whale swam all the way to Atlantis… how did they survive without any food… it was a magical whale, stop interrupting my awesome story, Canada…
The next morning, Canada woke up to the sound of a horrified yell, which caused him to fall off the bed in surprise. As soon as he put on his glasses, he was greeted with the heartwarming sight of England, returned to his normal age, attempting to smother an also normal-aged France with a pillow.
“You filthy wine-bastard, how dare you try to take advantage of me!”
France managed to kick England in the stomach, protesting, “But you fell asleep on top of me! Why are you blaming me for something you did?”
“Liar, I would never do such a thing, not even if I was drunk!”
“Hold it, England!” America interjected, trying to pull him off of France. “Look, Tony was able to fix the wand after all, and now you’re back to normal. No need for fighting, yeah?”
“Fix the wand?” France was too bewildered to continue the train of thought to its inevitable end.
“Back to normal? Wait, what the hell are you talking about?” Arthur raised an impressive eyebrow at America, impressing everyone further.
“Yeah, you were turned into kids last night. Remember?”
They stared at him, the fight momentarily forgotten. With a look of increasing confusion on his face, America looked over to Canada for support.
“Britannia-angel accidentally turned the both of you into kids and we had to take care of you… Err, you don’t remember?”
England shook his head, and suddenly realizing that he and France were wearing nothing but nightshirts, he hastily scrambled off of the other nation in disgust.
“I don’t know what you two are talking about, and I don’t know how we ended up here, but I’m leaving. As soon as I find some clothes.”
“I must agree with England, you are both too old to be making up such unbelievable stories. Now… if you’ll excuse me.” France followed England out of the room as gracefully as he could.
“What is going on? How could they not remember? They made our lives a living hell for a night and they don’t remember anything?” America muttered to himself, pouting. He did not even have the wand to show England because Tony took it to his pod and refused to give it back. Then he sighed and shook his head. “Well, at least we don’t have to take care of them anymore.”
“...I thought it was kind of fun... America-daddy."
"Haha, whatever. I think you need to get back on your pills, Canada-mommy."
Canada sighed, but then America gave him a hug and everything was all right again.
[EPILOGUE]
Little did America and Canada know, that in the next room…
“Was that as good for you as it was for me, mon ami?” The soft, sultry voice was breathless, though not from lust but more from trying to not laugh.
“Even better.” And the other’s voice was just as amused, just as satisfied.
[LOL sorry for the lame ending, but I ran out of ideas. I hope I haven't messed up too much on everyone's characters, I did my best. Thanks to the OP for such an awesome prompt~!]
Thank you so much, author-anon!! This was exactly what I wanted! It was just so cute in so many ways. I loved your characterizations of everyone and how you managed to keep everyone in character (Oh, France...)
And the little epilogue was the best. Very cute also.
