A/N I don't really have anything to say about this story yet. This idea is partly taken from the episode of Fairy Tail called "Changeling". Anybody who has seen the show will get what I mean as the story progresses. And also various cosplays. FYI this is probably going to be a looonnngggg chapter. I have been writing a lot of Hetalia fanfictions lately...Anyway, I OWN NOTHING!
(I will be calling the countries based on who is talking, not by their appearance)
*trumpets play in backround*
Here it is!
Chapter 1
Britain was just finishing up practicing his magic when a book fell through the window and hit him on the head. Of course, he assumed it had been one of America's 'pranks', but when he ran outside, there was nobody in sight. He looked around, rubbing the bumb on the back of his head, but he couldn't even find a footprint.
"Hello?" he called. "I know you're out there. Show yourself!" But there was no answer. Whoever it had been, they left quickly.
How peculiar...he thought as he went back downstairs to see what had hit him. It was a book of spells! He opened the book slowly, as if something was going to leap out and scare him, and read over them. Most of them were pretty common, but then he noticed one of the pages near the back was folded. He turned to it and realized that he had never heard of the spell described. The book said it was used to change one's personality temporarily. It would have been useful if one wanted to seem well-behaved or smart at a conference or party. Britain stared down at the incantation, vaguely noticing that some of the letters had been changed or erased all together. Unfortunately, all the directions and warnings were in an ancient language that Britain could not decipher. In the end, curiousity got the best of him and he spoke the words of the spell. There was a sudden burst of light and everything went dark.
Britain woke up and stretched, thinking to himself. That's funny...I don't remember going to bed...What happened? Then he remembered the book and the strange spell. I wonder if it worked? Would I feel any different if it had?
After deciding to get out of bed, he realized he wasn't in his bed at all. In fact, he wasn't even in his own house! He tried desperately to remember where he was and how he had gotten there, but he couldn't! I must have drank too much last night...yes, that's it. And then whoever I was with brought me here until I was well...Although he tried to convince himself that was what had happened, he knew in the back of his mind that he hadn't left home last night. He reached up to feel the bumb on his head from yesterday, only to find that it was gone. He also realized that his hair felt a lot longer then he remembered. That's odd, maybe...maybe I just need a haircut. Then he stumbled into the bathroom and found himself face to face with...France? Why was he at France's house? He rubbed his eyes, and France rubbed his eyes too. Britain said, "Stop copying me!" and so did France. Suddenly, Britain realized he was looking at a mirror! His eyes grew wide-or ..France's eyes...whatever. Something had gone horribly wrong. It must have been the spell he used yesterday. When it said it changed personalities it literally meant it changed them with someone elses. Damn it..what am I going to do? Wait...does that mean...oh god! He ran out of the bathroom and found a phone. He called his own number. France picked up.
"Oui?" Oh God...Britain thought as he heard his own voice with a French accent.
"Have you looked in the mirror?!" Britain yelled.
"Calm down, mon cheri. What is so important?"
"Just-just go look. I-I made a mistake and used a spell. And it...well, you'll see."
There was a scream at the other end of the line. "What-What have you done! I look hideous! Mon Dieu!"
"I know..I know. Hey! Don't call me hideous. I'm the one who has hair longer than Repunzel!"
France didn't even notice the insult, he was so appalled. "How do we fix this!?"
"Um..I don't know..sorry." Britain said tentatively.
"You don't know!? You're telling me you just used a spell that you didn't even know -switched our bodies-and you don't know how to change us back. That's waht you are saying?"
"Well, when you put it like that...yes."
America had a moment of confusion when he woke up because he could have sworn he fell asleep on the couch watching horror movies. He shrugged and got up to get some breakfast. But, on his way there, he noticed that he wasn't even in home! "Where...Where am I?" he looked around, thinking. But he figured that he would remember soon enough and continued on his way to the kitchen. But, when he looked around, he realized that there weren't any burgers! In fact, there was no meat at all...so, he settled for some eggs. After he was done eating, he still felt strange. So, he tried to figure out what was wrong. Oh! I'm not wearing my glasses! That must be it. He walked back to the bedroom, but he couldn't find his glasses anywhere. Maybe in the other room? But, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find his glasses!
Meanwhile...
Japan couldn't see. Everything was blurry and he had no idea where he was. Finally, after searching for what seemed like hours, he found a pair of glasses. After putting them on, he quickly realized that he was at America's house. Soon after that, he noticed his reflection in the window. He blinked a few times before realizing that he wasn't only in America's house, but that he was America. Immediately, he phoned Britain, but was surprised to hear it was France's voice that answered. "What do you want America?"
"Uhh..." Japan started. "France? I-I was looking for Britain." he said quietly.
"Well, that is a little complicated at the moment. you see..." France told Japan what had happened.
"Well...that explains it then. Because I'm not America. This is Japan."
"WHAT!? You too!? One second..let me phone Britain."
France hung up and dialed his home phone.
"What?" Britain said harshly.
"England...I'm afraid we have a large problem...I can't even...just...call Japan." What he meant to say was call America so that Japan could explain what had happened to him.
"Um, alright."
Britain listened to the occasional buzz from the phone, thinking, What has France so freaked out? And what does Japan have to do with any of it, I wonder?
"'Sup!" said...Japan?
"Umm...Japan, are you alright? France told me to call you." Britain replied uncertainly.
"Huh? Dude, this isn't Japan. You must have called me by mistake, Iggy."
"What-but, I'm sure I-" Britain broke off as he realized what had happened. "Oh, shit. America...have-have you seen yourself in the mirror today?"
"Nope. I can't find my glasses. I've looked everywhere."
"You've looked for your glasses. So...you're telling me you can see well enough to actually go and look for your glasses which you need to see with?"
"Yea-! Oh...OH! How come I can see without them? Weird. Anyway, I have no idea where I am. Do you? I want to leave! There aren't burgers here!"
Britain could not even begin to imagine how stupid you'd have to be not to realize you could see without glasses. And yet, somehow America pulled it off. "Ahem, just-just go look at yourself."
There was a rustling as America walked over to a mirror. "WOAH! I LOOK JUST LIKE JAPAN! HOLY TEXAS HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?" he laughed.
"Are you saying that you aren't even remotely freaked out by this?" Britain said.
"Nope! Does that mean Japan is in my body? HAHA! How are you gonna fix this?" America replied.
"I don't know. I thought it was just France and I-" he was cut off by a huge laughing fit from the other end of the line. "Shut up! It's NOT FUNNY! Anyway, I just this means...the whole world...all of our bodies have been switched!"
