Mitch and Jerome continued through the forest.
"Do you even know where Notch lives?" Mitch asked.
"Well, not exactly, but it's somewhere this way," Jerome said, turning to Mitch and walking backwards.
"So you don't know where you're going," Mitch concluded.
"I do so!" Jerome said, "I just don't know exactly how to get there." Mitch rolled his eyes.
"I know the way," he said.
"Liar," Jerome said.
"Turn around and go straight," Mitch ordered. Jerome did, and stopped. A house sat just ahead of him.
"You little-" Jerome said, turning back to Mitch.
"Got ya!" Mitch laughed.
"Is this really Notch's house?" Jerome wondered. The two cautiously circled the house. A sign above the door confirmed their suspicions. This was Notch's house.
"Well, knock," Mitch prompted.
"Why me?" Jerome demanded.
"Coming here was your idea!" Mitch pointed out.
"Yeah, but-" Jerome sighed. There was no way he'd win this argument. He lifted his hand, and knocked on the door. Notch opened the door, and stared down at the pair.
"Jerome, Mitch," he said, nodding to the boys, "I wondered when you'd get here."
"You knew we were coming?!" Mitch asked.
"I did indeed, Mitch," Notch said, scratching Mitch's ears.
"So, you know why we came then?" Jerome asked.
"You want to return to your old forms," Notch said, removing his hand from Mitch's head, "The truth is though, you don't need me to do so."
"So how do we change back?" Mitch asked.
"You must re-create the situation," Notch said simply.
"What?" Mitch and Jerome said at once.
"Go back to where you were when you switch, and repeat your conversation and actions, but in a positive manner."
"So, we switched because we were fighting?" Jerome checked. Notch nodded.
"Fighting in a forest where it is safest to be at peace," he elaborated.
"So if we go back, and do the same thing with nicer words, we change back?" Mitch said uncertainly.
"Indeed," Notch confirmed.
"Thank you," Jerome said.
"No need," Notch said, "Now, head on home." He followed the boys to the door.
"Bye!" Jerome called as they scurried off.
"Thanks!" Mitch added.
