Author's Note- Heh heh... Um, hi, I guess...
First of all, I would like to explain my absence, but there aren't any excuses. I didn't update. I was lazy. I didn't feel like writing. Blah blah blah, I don't really want to waste your time.
The good news is, school's out! For the past three weeks, almost. Oops, sorry, again...
Enough of my life! Story time. There was confusion last chapter, and I just want to clarify-
Italy is in Prussia's body,
Prussia is in Italy's body,
Spain is in Japan's body,
Japan is in France's body,
Which leaves France in Spain's body.
There. That's done. Also, I may have figured something out. What if, when referring to the body, I would use apostrophes like 'Italy' or 'Spain'?
Which would mean I would be referring to Prussia or France. I would use this no matter who's thinking it is. I'll use it for this chapter, but let me know what you think.
Arghhh, I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore...
Four more things-
One, I apologize that this is kind of all over the place,
Two, sorry for such a long Author's Note,
Three, watch out for Romano's potty mouth,
And four, Thanks for putting up with me! Enjoy~!
"Excuse me, England-san, I was wondering if you found a way to fix the body switching?"
"Hmm?" England looked up from his daydreaming. He saw France, but he was aware of the whole situation.
"You're Prussia, aren't you?"
"Oh, no, actually. I'm Japan. The five of us passed out about twenty minutes ago. When we woke up, we had all switched around. Do you know why?"
England thought for a moment. "I don't know. Magic can be strange sometimes. It doesn't really have any 'rules'; it can really do whatever it wants. Or maybe the potion is wearing off. I can't give you a definite answer."
Japan listened. "I also have another problem- I used to be in Prussia's body. I couldn't really control my thoughts or what I said to anyone."
"I can't really explain that, either. It could of been the potion, but if no one else was having the same problem, then you were probably just influenced by being in Prussia's body." (His awesomeness is too much for Japan to handle, basically.)
"Okay, then. Last question- Have you found a way to fix this?"
England thought for another moment. "No. The potion I originally gave to you and Italy was supposed to switch you back. How Prussia, Spain, and France got ahold of it, I have no clue. I don't really want to make another one because, well, how should I put it..."
He paused before continuing. "The potion I gave you and Italy- it was meant to cure the spell that was accidentally performed. When the other three interfered, it put their bodies up for switching, too. After that comes what can't be predicted. Pretty much anything could happen at this point. If you pass out again, you might end up in your own body, or still someone else's. I can't tell you how long you'll be in their body, either. It's kind of complicated. It wouldn't be good to try and make another one either- The mix of two potions would be too much for your bodies to handle."
Japan took it all in. He didn't know how long he could keep this up.
The group of three were just outside the meeting room.
"Wait a second." Germany stopped walking before they got very far. "What if we just called them instead of hunting them down blindly?"
Spain smiled. "Oh yeah~! Why didn't Italy and I think of that before?"
Germany took out his cell phone. "Alright, who should it be?"
"I think you should call Fratello~ We forgot about the phones this morning."
Germany went through his contacts. He never called many of them, but he still had every nation's number just in case of an emergency.
"What the fuck do you want, damn potato eater?"
Romano had Germany's number, too.
"Where did the three of you go? We have a meeting to get back to."
"How the fuck should I know where we are?"
"Just try to get back here."
"DON'T YOU THINK WE'VE FUCKING TRIED THAT?"
"Then we'll come find you. Do you know which way you went when you left?"
"I think it was... right?"
"Alright." Germany started walking and motioned for the other two to follow. "What after that?"
"How the hell should I know?"
"Okay, we'll take it from here."
Romano hung up without saying anything else.
"Was that We- Germany?" Prussia caught himself quickly.
"Si. He's trying to find us."
France was awake as well, walking around with them. "Maybe we should stay here, then. It'd be easier to find us in one place than as a moving target."
Was waking up in Spain's body surprising? Yes. Did he freak out? No.
"I don't need that potato bastard's help. Let's go."
"Aww, Fratello, let's just stay here. If Germany's already left to find us, then we should wait!"
France couldn't tell if Italy had switched back or not. He just went along with it.
"He's right, Roma~!"
Romano didn't have to say anything else. The group of Germany, Italy, and Spain were at the end of the hall.
"The meeting room is right around the corner." Germany said, approaching them.
"Yay~ Germany's here~! Let's go, Fratello~!" Prussia skipped towards Germany, being the best Italy he could.
Germany sighed. "Let's go."
The group of six walked back to the meeting room. They were pretty close, actually, after going in circles for a while.
When they got there, Romano ditched the rest to get some water and sit down. He didn't want to spend any more time with 'Spain', 'Italy', or Germany.
Japan was sitting with England, still discussing the problem.
"So, would it be too much to ask of you to help us switch back?"
"Not at all. Maybe if I found a private room somewhere, I could try something right now. Not a potion, but perhaps there's a spell. We're still on break, though. Germany will probably call the meeting back to order any minute."
Italy, Prussia, France, Spain, and Germany walked over to the two.
"Back already?" Japan looked up.
Italy smiled. "Yep~! What are you talking about?"
"Oh, um-" England noticed Germany was with them. Did he already know?
It was like Germany read his mind. "Well, if you don't need me, I'll leave you to sort this whole thing out."
So that was a yes.
"No, Germany, stay with us! Please~?" Germany saw the sparkle in Italy's currently red eyes.
"Fine."
"We were talking about the whole body switching thing." England answered Italy's question. "If I could find a private room, I might be able to fix this right now. I'm not sure how long it would take, but it's worth a try."
"You're never sure of anything, are you, Angleterre?"
"Shut up."
"What about the meeting?" Spain spoke up. "I know we don't get anything done, but we're still supposed to be here, right?"
"I don't think anyone would notice our absence..." Japan glanced across the room, finding Russia smiling innocently at the Baltics, Greece asleep, and Switzerland continuing to chase after America with his gun.
"Then it's a plan. I always have a small book of basic magic with me for emergencies." England pulled a small, leather book out of his briefcase. "You never know."
"Wait, you're going to guide us around the place, right?" Prussia didn't want to get as lost as Spain and Italy had.
"Of course, now let's go. The sooner we get you all to normal, the better."
The group of England, Italy, Japan, France, Prussia, Spain, and Germany slipped out of the crowded meeting room.
"Let's go upstairs. There's a lesser chance of someone wandering in on us."
After going up the large staircase, the group followed England into a room nearby. He flicked on the lights. A brown carpet, a green couch against the right wall, and a chalkboard across from the door. Along the left wall were two chairs, a small table in between them.
"Perfect." England smiled. "If you would all sit tight for a moment, I can get this ready."
Author's Note- Short chapter, but I plan on updating this week. Seeing how I last updated three weeks ago, I don't know if I can keep those plans...
But thanks for reviews, favorites, all of that. Oh yeah, and thanks for not killing me~!
There was something else I wanted to say, but I forget now. Whatever. Bye~!
