A Taste of Madness

The Time Continuum Dilema

I think I dedicate thinks too much but this one is dedicated to my newest friend, KawaiiBunneh! She's a sweetheart! Thank you for your kindness, KawaiiBunneh!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of the countries, genderbent or otherwise, sat in a circle

"The good news is..." Isabella pipes from between Elizabeta's genderbent and hers "...I look like quite handsome as a guy!"

Isabella's genderbent self chuckles "Well, you don't look bad yourself!"

Most of the countries chuckle as the girl thought 'Huh! I still have it!'

"The bad news is..." Isabella glumly adds "...me as a guy is going to quite annoying!"

"We have names, you know!" Chuckles Elizabeta's genderbend

Isabella blushes

Every genderbent country introduces themselves, starting from Elizabeta's and ending with Isabella's

"Okay Juan! How are we going to fix this?" Isabella chimes

Juan, Isabella's genderbend, shrugs "I don't know! It's not like I did this!"

Isabella sighs

"Hey! Don't worry! We'll find a way to!" Daniel, Elizabeta's genderbend, pats the girl's head

Isabella blushes as Juan chuckles "Hey! Man, you better not be flirting with me!"

Daniel and him chuckle at this

Alice, Arthur's genderbend, clears her throat "We have to, of course, explain ourselves!"

Everyone started paying attention, Alice continued "This is caused by the idiots over there!"

She points at Norway and Romania

"Ey! It's Arthur's fault too!" Romania argued

He was ignored, Alice still continues "You see, we come from an alternate universe! Where everyone is of opposite gender!"

Isabella listens more closely

"We've been watching over your universe, to see if you're doing okay or if we have to intervene! But someone opened a portal from our universe to yours!"

"Wait!" Isabella interjects "You're saying you're superior to us?"

"Only in magic!" Alice corrects "And it's because time in our world is in the future!"

Isabella backs off immediately

"Anyway! We know all about you but you don't know anything about us! You feel what we feel but we don't feel what you feel!"

"Eh?" Alfred tilts his head to the side in confusion

Alice face-palms

"It's like this!" Maria, Gilbert's genderbend, pipes

She then proceeds to sit between Isabella and Juan

"You see, if Juan here is in love with... let's say Elizabeta over there!" Maria points to poor Elizabeta two persons away "That means poor little Isabella HAS to love Daniel over here!"

Isabella, Daniel and Elizabeta blush while Juan just sits there with a I-get-it-now expression

Maria goes back to her seat

Alice continues "Exactly! And furthermore, you can't date your own genderbend! Because of one sole reason!"

"You'd be affecting the time continuum..." Arthur mumbles loud enough for the whole room to hear

"Exactly! Being here right now is affecting the time continuum as well!" Alice sighs "So we have to find a way to return back to our normal universes!"

"But, like, how...?" Poland chimes which his genderbend, that looks a lot like him, nods at

Alice shrugs "I don't know..."

Isabella jolts up "I have a plan!"

She then immediately blushes and sits back down

"Well, my dear?" Romania encourages "What your plan?"

"Well..." Isabella muttered but grew louder and more confident the longer she spoke "Some countries are missing! The only countries with genderbends are..."

Looking around, she smirks "Perfect! The ones missing are Romania and Norway's genderbends!"

Arthur furrows his-albeit thick yet handsome-eyebrows "Cuba seems to be missing too..."

"Yes, he said he was sure he would make the party so I don't really..." Canada wonders out loud

"W-Would..?" Isabella chokes out

Daniel looks at her worriedly "C'mon! Spit it out, love!"

Isabella blushes at the pet name "W-Would it be possible that Cuba traded places with all the genderbents?
