So I'm REALLYYYY sorry for not updating for like, a long time, (I guess) I planned on updating earlier, but the weather's been awfully crazy here at the Philippines, and the worst thing that could happen (and on a Friday the 13th at that) our internet crashed and was gone for like 2 days.

Anyway...

Thank you so much for the reviews! :) And I'm so sorry and I didn't update sooner just as you wanted, so here, without further delay, Chapter 14- "Trouble, TROUBLE, Trouble, OH!" (Credits to Taylor Swift for that title!)

(Boomer POV)

"Hey Lanny, check out this rock!" I picked up the donut shaped rock.

"Y-yes my king?" Lanny was scratching his head nervously.

"Why are you so nervous Lanny?"

"C-c-cause we're here already," he said pointing at the oracle's dwelling.

He was seated in deep thought, before looking up and greeting me. "King Boomer, what a pleasant surprise. I have been expecting you."

Disregarding his creepy message, I asked, "Yeah, I really need to know why my brother's been acting strange. And don't you find your dwelling, I don't know too dark and hot? You're living inside a volcano, for crying out loud!"

The oracle brushed off my remark. "The reason behind your brother's awkwardness lies in that piece of paper in front of you. Like I said, I've been expecting you."

I picked up the piece of paper, but just as I was about to open it, he warned me. "A little reminder. Once you open it, whatever happened to your brother will be permanent. Forever."

I gulped. Brady like that forever? No. But didn't he want to be with Mikayla forever? I sighed. I cared for my brother too much, even with how he treats me for the past few days with Mason away. He was my best friend, my only family left aside from Uncle Bill and Aunt Nancy. Oh and Lanny too. I will do anything that will make him happy.

"It's fine."

"Go ahead, open it."

"BOOMER WAIT!"

I turned around. Brady and Mikayla were standing from afar, then started to run towards me. Where were they? And they're together again?

I pushed Brady to the ground just as he came up and was about to hug me.

"How could you hurt me like this Brady! This isn't you at all! First you leave me all alone, then when we're together you escape and go back to the castle! Why Brady!?

Brady was in tears. He looked like he was beaten up, with small bruises on his arms and face. Why was he looking like that?

"You know what? I'll open this letter and make everything permanent, whatever secret you are keeping from me. That's what you want anyway, right?"

Mikayla's face paled.

"Boomer, don't open it. Please. For everybody's sake."

"I don't care, Mikayla! I'll open it right now!"

"BOOMER WAIT!" Brady was panicking.

"Too late Brady!"

"But please..."Brady was at his knees.

"You know what Brady, I'm fed up with your attitude for these past few days. You haven't been acting like the brother I was bullied side by side with in Chicago."

"Boomer," Mikayla stood up. "I'm sorry"

My eyebrow creased. Mikayla was the one saying sorry? I don't get it.

"Boomer," she came up closer and fell at her knees. "Brady hasn't been acting like your brother, because he isn't really your brother. Boom, it's me Brady, it's really me. The real Brady. "

"And Boomer, it's me Mikayla," Brady said, joining Brady.

"WHAT? I DON"T GET YOU!" I stared at the 2 people in shock.

"We've been switched."

And that's when I lost my footing and fainted.

(Brady POV)

"WE'VE BEEN SWITCHED."

Boomer's eyes bulged in horror as if it was going to pop out right of it's sockets. He turned pale, and passed out.

"I had to tell him."

Mikayla nodded. "I know. He must understand what's going on with us."

"Let's get out of here."

I threw the letter down into the abyss that lay below, and I heard a child sobbing.

"Lanny? Is that you?"

Sure it was him. He was staring at the raging pit of magma that was bubbling below. He had tears in his eyes.

"Lanny, I need to talk to you."

"Why do you just have to be so lucky, I MEAN I'm so sorry, please don't kill me," he pleaded.

"So you did this switch thing, didn't you?"

"Yes I did. But it was an accident, I promise!"

"Lanny..."

"King Brady, you've got to believe me! It was all an accident. I was playing around with some magic potions and one of them fell into the batter of those muffins. I'm so sorry. I only knew too late."

"But Mikayla told me that you had planned it all along...I don't know Lanny.."

Lanny fell at his knees. "It was all an accident I promise. I had planned to make a magic potion to make me taller, but instead everything backfired," he squeaked.

"BRADY! We have to go!"

Oh right, Boomer's passed out.

The Oracle was bitterly angry with all of us, because for the 2nd time, we didn't read it again. Thankfully, it already fell into the volcano, or if even somebody tried to open it, I'll be "Mikayla" for the rest of my life.

We ran as fast as we can, and raced our way out of Mount Spew. We hopped onto the king cruiser and drove back to the castle.

Lanny was quiet the whole time. He look mortified and very sheepish. I guess he feels bad that I didn't believe him. But now I can't even tell truth from lies, like how now, I don't know if everything happening was just a dream or what.

"BRADY!"

My head veered in the direction of the voice. It was my voice, but I knew it was Mikayla. Those brown eyes were staring at me, horrified. And that's when I saw it. I swerved the king cruiser before we crashed right into the castle doors. Unfortunately, I was too late. I was only able to stop before we crashed into the couch in the throne room.

Hurriedly, we brought Boomer up to our room. We tried to rouse Boomer. Lanny ran downstairs and came back with a muffin. He placed near Boomer's nose.

No reply.

Then he came up with another idea. He grabbed Boomer's Ipod and played "If I Were A Boy", and shouted at the same time, "BEYONCE IS HERE, MY KING!" Mikayla looked offended. Oh. I think I get it. Since, yeah, I think you'd get the picture.

Sure enough, his idea worked.

Boomer propped up with a big smile on his face. "WHERE!?"

I patted Boomer on the back. "She said she'll come in a couple of years, though."

Boomer shook his head irritably. "Don't joke me like that."

Then silence hit the room.

Then his eyes bulged again. "WAS IT ALL A DREAM A WHILE AGO?"

"No, we've been really switched."

"But who miserable creature would do that?"

Lanny was sitting quietly in a corner. "Me."

Boomer stood up, and walked up to Lanny, and was about to pummel him, but I stopped him in time. "Boomer, we have to hear his side, first."

"BUT HE SWITCHED US BRADY! I heard him! It's true!"

I held Mikayla's hand. "Let's hear what he has to say first."

Mikayla shook her head vigorously. "I know exactly how and why he did it. It was a failed scheme of his. He wasn't able to exchange you with someone else, because I ate the muffin for that specific person. Brady," she held my shoulders. "Believe me now. Please."

I hung my head low. "Mikayla..."

"You know what, instead of trying to get me to admit whatever truth you want to get out of me, you could ask me to help you both out of it, isn't that a better way?!" Lanny was pouting.

"Okay, but once we're back to normal, you're dead, you troll," Mikayla sneered.

Lanny smirked, and went downstairs to get something. After a long time, he came back with a little pocketbook of his. Mikayla snatched it from his hands.

"Hey!"

"Now where's the antidote."

"It's gonna take a week to bring you both to normal, though."

Mikayla flailed her hands . "But we don't have a week!"

Just then Muhamma came in with an envelope with him. Mikayla took it from him, much to Muhamma's surprise. Guess it was for me. Mikalya glanced at the name from who it came from.

"So, from who's it from?"

Mikayla swallowed hard. "My dad."

So did you like it? If it looks a bit hurried or something, then truly, madly, deeply, I am sorry.
