"Okay… light it up."
"Dragon Fist!" Beat's fist glowed, seeing a purple aura surrounding his hand. "Oh-hohoho, yeah!" Chris places a brick on two pillars. "HEEEEYYAAHH!" delivering a mighty karate chop, the block of rock crushed in two pieces. "Oh yeah! I'm going to love this spell forever!"
One of the Construction Coven workers nodded to the boys. "Thanks for the help, kids," he said and held a bag of snails. "Come by anytime if you feel like breaking down more rocks for us."
"I will totally come back to do that." Beat said, grabbing the bag. "See you later, Mister Parker."
"See ya boys around."
"This is awesome," the large teen flexes his arm. "Having indestructible fists! Though it was to have super powered gauntlets like in the anime, this is as close as I can get!"
"I'm glad that spell is working out for you Beat," Chris said looking through the Holotome. "With the odd jobs we've been doing we can make lots of snails to keep food for us for weeks."
"Yeah, super sonic," Beat elbows his spiritual brother. "That Hyperstride spell got delivered so fast, they tried to hire you."
"Indeed, good thing I'm too fast for them to catch up." Chris smiled. "But I'm surprised that Luz isn't using her Seeker skills to go for some odd jobs."
"You know her, she's determined to become a witch, and stubborn as a Tanakas," the tall teen said, knocking his head. "But we still need to find the other Amulets out there, if they are still out there." Beat said then they spotted Edas stand where the three are arguing. "Hey woah where's the fire guys?"
"Okay, King thinks that being a teenager is easy, I thought Eda's life is a no breather, and Eda thinks Being King is a walk in the park." Luz said in a quipnotes version on what's going on. "So have you two wonder what it feels like to be in each other's shoes?"
"Being a teen is not easy!" The large and small teen shouted at locals of the Boiling Isles just looked at the two… but went back to their own business.
"You had to deal with zits, armpit hair, the awkward hormones-agh!" Beat shudders at the thought. "It's gross!"
"I accepted every single one of your lives as your own individual challenges." Chris bluntly stated to them. "So no, I'm good, thank you very much." Wisely, he took a huge big step out of the crowd.
"And I have a family with lots of shapes and sizes, so count me out." Beat also bluntly said, crossing his arms.
"Well there's only one thing to do if friends can't see eye to eye." Eda began to plot an idea… a sinister idea.
"Hug each other until we pass out?" Luz said, hugging King.
"FIGHT TO THE DEATH!" The hugged demon king shouted.
"Roleplay each other's parts in a safe manner?" Chris said, adjusting his glasses.
"Good Witch Azura Brawlers Tournament!?" Beat held up his portable gaming consul he brought from the human world.
"No, body swap!" Eda said, crossing her arms.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..." King eyes to the humans. "Are you sure you human's don't shoot venom?"
"No we d- wait, where did that come from?" Beat doubled back in curiosity.
"Bosha said that to insult me." Luz filled them in.
"Ah I see."
"Shouldn't we think about this before we do something brash an-."
"BODY SWAP!" Eda shouted as she twirled her staff, covering all four of them with orange powder.
"Did it work, I need a mirror," Luz's voice said, but Eda's body moved to the mirror but crashed onto it leaving her make-up. "Found one."
Beat/King looks at himself, feeling the body fur and wagging his tail. "Wow… so soft and cor-." He then stops… looking up to everyone. "… Huh… so that's what it looks like from King's perspective." he realizes what had happened. "Hey wait a minute! I said to leave me out of it!"
Luz/Eda checks herself within Eda's body, then sees her hands. "Oh wow, I look super old… and pointy~..." then Luz with her hair slid back and had King's eyes. "Oh my gosh that's me!"
"That's right! Be afraid of my giant meaty hands!" King/Luz shouted.
"... Uh… King…" Luz/Eda pointed out the King in her body, to point out the larger magic cloud. "I think that one has bigger meatier hands than you."
This revealed Beat's large body, but to see Eda's eyes with her signature fang sticking out of his mouth. "How do I look?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"I-I got some… very confusing emotions right now…" Beat looked stunned with utter loss and confusion of his own body now housing Eda.
"Alright here's the deal, whoever proves who has the better life, gets out of house-cleaning duty," Eda/Beat said to the three. "And we all know what that means."

Back in the owl house, Hooty was busy playing in the mud. "HAHA-HEHEHEHEHEHA!" roll around the mud, He stuck his body down to the ground.

That made the switched people shiver. "Won't be me," King/Luz said to him/her self. "Life as a teenager is a tyrant's dream! By the end of the day I'll be ruling over your febal demographic!"
"Good luck with that," Beat/King said with a blank stair. "Don't come crying to me when you'll almost get ripped to shreds and chewed out."
"Well I got magic, Eda don't get too mad if your inventory's gone and the guards are none the wiser." Luz/Eda said, while making a circle and made a friendly fire into the sky.
"Wait… where's shortstuff?" the short fluffball of Beat said looking around.
"Over here guys," Chris crawled out of a hiding spot from the Human junk pile and dusted himself. Personally glad that he escaped from the spell circle Eda had casted. "Think of me as running damage control or a contingency plan in case this!" He gestures to everyone. "Goes all sorts of wrong."
"Okay," Beat/King nodded as he waddled over to the edge of the table. "I wonder how much destruction I can do with this little body?"
"MY LIFE IS NOT A PLAYTHING!" King/Luz shouted to his body double.
"Oh you have no idea how much mayhem I can do with ordinary stuff." Beat/King said with a devious look in his eyes.
"He's right," Luz/Eda nodded. "Even unintentionally he can cause some chaos."
"That's just the way I like it!" Beat/King jumps off the table. "Now if you excuse me I'm off going to do some stuff."
"And i'm going to test out this body," Eda/Beat said walking away while trying not to trip over. "W-whoa…"
"Just remember to meet up here 2 hours after noon, 2 o'clock," Chris clarified the group and started his analog watch. "Now just be careful not to get you-they're already gone aren't' they?" The short teen flatly said as he and Luz/Eda are the only ones left in the store stand.
"Yep," Luz/Eda crossed her arms. "Should you look after me- King?"
"Sure, I doubt that Beat can cause lots of trouble in King's body." Chris said only to receive a stare from the swapped Heart of the Trio. "... I have to find a Beat." he runs off… but stops. "Luz, stay where you are, and don't use your magic unless it's an emergency." he dashes off to find the others.
"Okay, you go find him, while I'm here." Luz/Eda said with a smirk and looked at her hands. "It's magic time…"

Beat/King is walking around town while looking around as everyone who he walks by is always calling him cute and adorable. "This is getting unconquerable."
"Stop right there!" a voice shouted as the small demon turned to see an Emperor's Guard with a four snout dog.
"Hmm?"
"Thought you could get away with it, didn't you?"
"Um… maybe? You know who I am?"
"Of course I do, your… the cutest little angel i've ever seen!" the Emperor's Guard said, then handed Beat/King a lollipop. "Who wants a lolly?
"Oh thanks!" He grabbed the lolly and started licking it. He waved his tiny paw at the Guard as he walked away. "Now that was a weird experience, maybe being King is not so bad." he said but saw two old ladies standing before him. "We~h?"
"Oh Dottie, look at this lost little dumpling." the skinny old lady said, reaching for the small furball.
"I'm not lost, I just left my friends for an errand." Beat/King said but was ignored and picked up like a baby. "Hey let go of me!"
"Poor baby, do you want us to make you a delicious meal?" the skinny old lady said to the small fluffball.
"Uh no thank you, I'm good." Beat/King said, patting his tiny tummy. But he was ignored and was taken away. "Hey, hey, where are you taking me?"
They made their way to a small building called the cat cafe where Beat saw everyone cuddling with a small cute beast. "Welcome to our Kitty Cafe."
"... I got a bad feeling about this."
"This is our little safe haven for cherubs like you." the skinny old lady said. "Precious cargo like you should be taken care of, nothing but belly rubs or tasty num-nums."
"Where're the teens," Beat/King asked Roselle as this place is nothing but full of adults. "If a teen is depressed about a bad grade or break up, shouldn't it be a cuddly creature's job to help them out?"
"NO!" Roselle shouted. "Teenagers will tate this safe paradise for you babies."
"You are missing out on some opportunity proffits lady." Beat said as he was placed in a cradle. "And this place is filled with creepy old men."
"Now take a good nap my dearest, and welcome, to your new home." Roselle said in a sinister voice as she and Dottie walked inside the room.
"Creep alarm is at full eleven over ten," Beat looks left and right at the cafe. "I'm starting to think King's life isn't as easy as anyone thought?"
"Leave this place!" shouted the tuxedo cat demon!
"What do you think I'm planning to do? Stay? Yeah right." Beat said, jumping off the crib. "Beat out, peace!" he said, making a peace sign on his hand.
"Baby demon!" The cat demoned looked frightened and scampered off. "Where are you!" The skinny old lady came out of the staff room. "We found you a cute widdle bumblebee cos-." they ladies gasped to see Beat/King trying to reach for the door knob. "What are you doing!?"
"Uh… getting out? Am I not supposed to have free will?"
"The world is not safe for you baby demon." Roselle stated to him.
"Uh duh, i'm still growing," Beat/King side then pointing at them. "You can't just force me to stay!"
"Dottie," She snaps her fingers. "Bring Baby Demon to time out."
Out of Beat's shock and surprise, he sees the stout lady growling in fangs, snowling as she hopped on the furniture like a predator. "¡Santo cielo!, that just screams thriller theme! I hate anything higher than that!"
"Now come along little baby, time for your little outfit~!"
"Why not see what my fists can do to you, DRAGON FIST," Beat sees his purple glowing hands only to sputter like a car out of gas. "... Oh right…I'm in King's body… but on that note, BEAT HEADBUTT!" he jumped high and slammed his skull head… only for a squeak noise. "... Also note… I'm weak and pathetic…"
"... No…" Roselle lets out a sinister grin. "You're a cutie patootie."
"Uh… HEY LOOK! ANOTHER LOST CUTE THING!" Beat/King shouted while pointed to outside. They quickly look out the window to find the said cutie. "Psych!" He then made the run for it to the door.
Beat made it to the staff's room, closing the door and barricading it with a chair. "Let us in this instant! It's NOT time for you to be in there!" Roselle's voice shouted while trying to push the door.
"Phew, those old ladies are surprisingly agile," tTen he turned around to see something… disturbing. What he saw were all of the small monsters in rocking chairs with blank stares "... whoa….. This is…. A whole new level of creepy."
He then waved his paw at one of them but didn't respond… only said… "Tasty num-nums…."
"No ones home." Beat/King start looking around the others to see all of them drooling. "Yesh."
"Don't bother!" This made Beat quickly turn to see the cat man. "Their minds are tragically gone, they've been coddled for so long, they forgot to live on their own! Their brains became mush."
"Holy Croutons." he said out of shock. "Guess King is trying not to get cuddled his mind out of being treated like a… baby…" he then looked at his new friend… "You think it-"
"Purrr…" Bowtie was busy playing with a ball of yarn… looking at him with blank eyes. "Meow… meow… meow…"
"... okay that's it." Beat then smacks the cat's face, snapping him out of it.
"Ow! T-tha-"
"TEN-HUT SOLDIER!" Beat/King shouted which caused the cat to stand straight. "Now listen here bowtie and listen good! We're not going to let this go on any longer! We need to wake these guys up and jog their brains again while we have time," he then saw the cat man start to go out, but he started slapping his face more. "DON'T YOU GO OUT ON ME SOLDER! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?"
He shaked his head and saluted. "SIR, YES SIR!"
"GOOD! Now get that ridiculous outfit off and let's get rough."
-few seconds later-
When the old but surprisingly agile ladies bust through the doors they saw their 'babies' are gone. "W-what? Where are our babies?" Then they saw the outfits and the ones that were hanging were ripped apart and scattered on the floor. "*gasp* no! Our cute outfits for our babies!"
"HEY!" They looked up to see Beat/King up top of the furnisher with an angry look. "You two looking for me?"
"You naughty cute thing! You come down ri-"
"I AM NOT A BABY YOU OLD HAG!" He shouted which surprised the two. "And you're about to see how deadly a 'wittle guy' can do. SOLDIERS OF CHAOS! ATTAAAAAAACK!" All of the little monsters without their cute clothes all came out of the shadows and started attacking the two old ladies and started breaking free from their captures and prison. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" He then saw his two little claws…. Then a devious eye smile was made. "Looks like this 'weak and pathetic' cutie got some claws. KITTY CAT POKES OLD HAGS EYES OUT!" He shouted while diving at Roselle's face to claw.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!" The elder women screamed in agony as they were overpowered, soon they destroyed the inside of the cafe and burst out. A flood of small cute tiny demons roamed the streets, with relief and happiness.
"FREEDOM MY SOLDIERS! GO FORTH AND LIVE YOUR LIVES!" Beat shouted as he's now on top of the wave of little demons.
-0-
"Oh boy, where can Beat in King's body go?" Chris said, looking around. "He's so small, he could be anywhere?" The short teen sees erupting tentacles in town, and a familiar cackle nearby. "You gotta be kidding me…"
"BOW BEFORE YOUR RULER!"
"King!?" Chris sees the King of Demon's in Luz's body, flying upside down. "Beat will have to wait. King is more destructive with anything." He started jogging after the switched Demon King. "King… Luz… King, get down from there!" Chris shouted while trying to get up the cliff.
"Oh, what are you gonna do, last time I checked, you can't fly~!" the teens started laughing… only to find King/Luz to be grabbed by a lasso. "... Uh oh…" he was soon dragged down to earth, a dust brawl was made with Chris finishing hog tying him up.
"You've forgotten I had to deal with Beat and Luz back on Earth, you are by far the least challenging today." the short seeker said, tying up the knot at the switched King.
"Hey, what gives killjoy," Boscha's voice is heard, having Chris turn around to see the very three eyed girl, along with Skara, Amila and a teen with wooden skin, purple sleeves, a beanie hat and blonde hair. "Trying to ruin our fun?"
"No, trying to make sure this little baby is under wraps." Chris said while pointing at King/Luz.
"I am not a baby!"
"Awe," Boscha mocks with a coo. "Wittle tiny mama gnome babying the human, how low are y-." This caused Chris to boil his blood and turn his entire skin all red while steam came out of his ears. "What are you glaring at?"
-0- five seconds later -0-
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Boscha in a mummified rope cocoon dangling on a tree tries to wiggle free. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU REGRET YOU GOBLIN!"
"... Yeah right Bosha, or should I say, Mummasha." Chris taunted the mummified girl with his smirk.
"... Woah…" the snow cap teen looked in shock. "He took down Boscha… without magic?"
"And Luz too," Amelia whispered. "Are humans this strong?"
Chris dusted his hands off and turned to the other teens. "Now if you excuse me, I need to take him home." he then starts dragging King away from the other teens.
"Let me go! I haven't even embraced the taste of a teen yet!" King/Luz squirms out of his binds.
"You had your fun when you unleashed a Kraken in Bonesborrow," Chris said with a blank look. "And plus you do not want to be a teen when you face hormones and aqweredness." he then shivered a little as he's still in his teens. "Trust me, it ain't pretty."
"Boscha's right, you're a real killjoy."
"Shut it," Chris said and checked the familiar buildings. "Now I just have to drag you back to the stand, then try and find Beat."
"You're looking for the beef cake with my body? Then your efforts are in vain! He could be anywhere in Bonesburrow, you'll never find him."
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Luz's scream was heard in the distance, causing Chris to blank his face.
"Luz?... oh boy…" Chris sighed… "gotta need an extra boost." Then he looked at King's flying shoes. "..."
"... don't you dare."
-0-0-
Chris is now flying in the air with the flying shoes, with King on his back as they flew.
"CURSE YOU GNOME USURPER! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS!"
"Don't make me drop you King." he said, making King shut up. He flew through the sky to where the source of the scream was heard. "Now I need to find Luz in Edas body… which now I think is terrifying." It didn't take him long to see a very bright and extravagant sign where Eda's shop is and the Emperor's guards are apprehending Luz/Eda. "... of course."
-0-
Eda backed up to the wall, grinning with youthful adrenaline as she wiped her lip, seeing her opponent to be a large elf. "Now we're cooking." The witch herself had set herself in Monster Brawl, with Beat's muscular body, it is perfect to go all out the limited time chance to feel her teenage youth. "Wooah! Wow! This is what Beat felt!? I can do this all day!" She then started punching hard and throwing an uppercut sending the Large elf out of the ring and crashed to the floor. "Wow, I should get Beat to do some of the heavy lifting often." she said and took the money.
She then saw her next opponent.. Opponents…. They are the Emperor's guards. "Stop right there!"
One of the demons with an afro looked shocked. "Cheeze it Carl, it's the Fuzz!"
Another Demon appeared to be wearing disco-like clothing and pointed out. "Let's boogie Shein!"
"Oh, I've waited a long time for this, Stonefist." Eda clenches her fists as it glows and is coated in rocks and stone. "Mama gonna punch your lights out!" she then punches her fists together making them spark.
-0-
"You're under arrest, Owl Lady!" said the constable of the Emperor's Coven… but he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Not know, I'm trying to arrest the Owl Lady." The finger tapped again making him grunt and turn to what's behind him. "What?!" Caliban stands before him, reeling a fist back and punches his lights out.
"What the heck!?" another Emperor's coven shouted then was kicked away by the meso titan. "... doy….."
Soon the warrior Titan begins brawling with the guards, soon they are knocked out, leaving himself, Luz/Eda standing. She sighed in relief and smield. "Thanks Caliban."
Chris lands on the ground with a sigh of relief with King on his shoulder. "Thanks buddy," as he shook his head to Luz. "So… not so easy using magic huh?"
"Okay, okay, being Eda isn't easy… but~ I still sold a lot of stuff and made a lot of mulla," Luz/Eda plucked her left arm, using it to help scratch her back. "And, having dismembering limbs does come with some perks." King looks left and right, seeing a knife from the human junk.. And wiggled to try and cut himself free.
"Luz focus, we got to find Eda before she uses Beat's body to rob a bank," Chris said to his best friend. "Now we need to find where Eda is." Then they hear a punching noise and look to see a blur flying up and crashing down in the distance.
"Hey kids," Eda wiped the sweat off her brow. "Phew. you have no idea how long i want to cut loose, and Beat's body is the perfect way to do it."
"What did you do?"
"I just won a lot of fight money, beat up some Emperor police, and here we are."
"... Okay, Eda's in first place, leaving the rest unknow- hey!" Chris tripped, seeing his flying sneakers are snagged by King/Luz. "King!"
"These are my shoes! I still need to rule the teens!" He puts them back on and flies away.
Comically, Luz and Eda see Chris's blood pressure starting to rise to dangerous levels. "Eda, protect Luz in your body, I'm going hunting," Chris grabbed a harpoon from the human junk.
"You got it short stack." Eda/Beat said, holding her hip.
"But don't hurt my body!" Luz said with a little worry.
"Hyperstride!" with his legs glowing, Chris leaps out rooftop after rooftop.
"Alright kid, let's drop this bunch of Snails off and go find Beat." Eda/Beat said fathering more snails into the bag. "After that we'll be back in our normal bodies in no time.
-0-
"Ugh, what a drag," Boscha pats her body as she is freed from her imprisonment. "I'm getting that Gnome back if it's the last thing I do." She was about to walk away, but a Harpoon had punched through a tree nearher face in front of her. "WHAT THE HECK!?"
"You'll never take me alive!" King flies past Boscha's group, as if fleeing for his life.
Chris in a blue blur of speed grabbed the Harpoon, leaping over building after building in attempt to catch him/her. "When you're changed back, I'll make sure you're skewered and turn into a ball and use your fur as a coat!"
"... Wow…" Amilia started writing down her notes. "Humans are constantly fighting each other… it's no wonder they are physically stronger than witches." Boscha just stared at the jumping teen and crossed her arms trying to not be amused.
Using hyper stride, Chris leaps rooftop after rooftop, trying to catch up to King/Luz, an opportunity as he got close, the harpoon turned into a net-.
*throb!*
Then a sudden pain throbbed on his back, soon his legs started to numb. "I-I can't move?" his glowing blue legs stopped as he descended. "Why can't I… move?…" His body started to numb up… unable to move… falling from the sky…loss of balance… down to the alley walls...
*GLASS BREAK!* "OW!" *CRASH!* "OOF!" *CAT SCREAMING!* "THAT SMARTS *BOOM* "I'M SORRY *I'MANANGRYSUMOOWOW!" "AAAAH!"
This made Boasha and her group to wince for every crash Chris has to endure. "Owch…" the snow cap teen said. "Major wipe out."
"... Welp, he's dead," Boscha turned around. "Come on, let's get out of here, these Humans are getting too annoying to hang around."
They were about to go until Skara looked back at the alleyway. Using her flying sneakers, she flew to find Chris groaning in pain on the ground. "Oh my titan!" The world was spinning for the short teeen… he soon sees three Skara images orbiting around him. "Are you okay!? Talk to me?"
As his senses got together… their eyes met… and a purple flash orbits around their irises and back to normal. "…Yeah… I'm alright…" As he rolled to his back. Chris tries to get up… looking down to see and feel his shoe twitched. Struggling to get up, he sees Skara offering a helping hand to him. "Thank you."
"No problem," the red sleeve girl said, getting the short Seeker up. "What are you going to jump off of buildings?"
"Long story," Chris did not say another word… but he looked ahead. "I need to stop my friend before he gets himself hurt."
"… You mean her?"
"Long Body Swap story."
"Oh… say no more…" Skara looked to the sky and thought… then to a couple of Ratworms. "Can you ride a Ratworm?"
"I can give it a try." Chris said as he was escorted to one of the Ratworms. "Never got your name properly, I'm Christian Davis, but people call me Chris."
"... Skara… it's finally nice to meet you," the bard track smiled at him, as she helped him mount on, as she sat in the front. "I'll drive."
"Okay, now let's find my friends before they get into serious trou-."
"STAMPEDE!" One of the adults shouted as they all ran away from the large group of small monsters.
Skara then saw all of the naked little monsters running off in a rampaging stampede. "... did i just…"
"Yeah, so did I." Chris said then spotted Beat/King riding on top of the wave of the stampede. "... Beat?!…."
Hopping on a mailbox, his tiny arms roared out with great pride. "VIVA LA REVOLUTION!" the small king shouted then spotted Chris. "SUP SHORT STUFF! I'M LIVIN THE DREAM! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHH!"
"It's him." Chris said with a blank stair.
Beat then spotted Skara in front of the short teen. "Oh what's this? Your girlfriend?" Beat guessed.
The bubbly kinder hearted bully blushes and looks away as the short teen sputters. "Just get on the Ratworm and help us get King before he hurt's Luz's body!"
"You got it!" Beat then jumped up and landed in front of Skara as she slapped her Ratworm and it mustered as fast as it could towards the wave of little people.
"What did you do, start some kind of Cuddle Rebellion against their pet owners?" Skara asked in curiosity as she steered the ratworm left and right.
"Yep, pretty much spot on." Beat said. "Except for the rebel against the pet owner part, these guys were actually imprisoned by the Kitty Cafe people."
The dark skinned witch blinked, "Wait a minute, isn't that the same pet cafe with all those cute monsters dressed up."
"Yes! I unleashed a revolution that King could not do for ages, isn't it beautiful?!" he said, gesturing to the stampede of cuddly dangerous monsters.
Chris and Skara looked around…. Seeing the tiny creatures wreaking havoc… and the short teen turned to the furball. "To be honest, I'm totally okay with it."
"Good, because if you said otherwise, you'll hear about their terrible prison they were forced to live in."
"We'll hear about it later! We got to get to King… Luz… King in Luz's body! Before Boscha tears her/ him apart!"
"You got it! SOLDIERS OF CHAOS! FIND THE HUMAN TEENAGER!" Beat/King shouted as the small monsters saluted and scattered all over the town which made Beat tear up. "... I am so proud of them…"
"You take this to a whole new level aren't you Beat?"
"Nyep!"
-0-
King flew left and right, throwing water balloon filled potions, as one had struck the three eyed girl. "Ugh… hi!"
"Grr….." Bosha starts to glare at King/Luz. "YOU'RE DEAD HUMAN!"
"Nyaahahahaha!" King held his stomach in the air. "Consider this a declaration of war feeble teens!" His hands are in the air with triumphant. "Nothing can stop me no-!" Another lasso grabbed him, "Not agai-!" He was grabbed down on the ground as Chris tied King up again. "I will have my reveng-!"
"You're not gonna start, King!" Beat/King said then slapped his/her face. "bab!"
-0-0-
With Eda and Luz, they continued to look for Beat/King. "I know Beat's inside King, but how can one widdle guy do, he's so tiny?" Luz/Eda said, thinking of King's body doing a little dance.
Eda looked around and saw something that made her speechless. "Uh, you might want to rethink that."
"RUN!" Chris shouted with the tied up King/Luz and Beat/King, riding and steering the Ratworm is Skara herself with total terror. Behind them are the old ladies from the Kitty Cafe, the flying shoed Boscha and her bully group, the Emperor's Coven, several brawlers from Eda/Beat's monster fight club.
"Oh heck!?" Luz looked fearfully,
Eda then snatched her staff and it sprouted wings. "Body Swap!" She then twirls her staff over the four of them as they change back.
"OW! EDA!?" Beat cringes as he falls to his knees, spazzing not he ground and groans. "What did you do to me…!?"
"I had some fun Kid, don't argue with some of mama's fun." Eda said with a smirk on her face.
"Chris!" The short teen sees Luz back and her body… and tied up. "No soy una piñata!" She angrily shouted at him in Spanish.
"Oh sorry Luz," he untied her, freeing her from captivity. "You know I have to get king one way or another."
"No!" King cried in agony. "I'm back in my worthless cuddly body!"
"End of the line Sister," Lilith readies her Raven witch staff, as everyone surrounded the Witch group and Skara.
Boscha looked angry as heck, creating a magic circle of a fireball. "Skara, out of the way, these humans are done for!"
Skara looked at her in fright and hid behind the short teen. "What do we do?" Chris said, pulling out King Basilisk Amulet.
"Don't worry kid, I got this." Eda then smirks which causes Chris to know what she's going to do.
"Duck!" Chris tackles Skara into an Alley.
"BODYSWAP!" Eda then unleashed the bodyswap powder at the guards, guard dog, the teenagers and the old ladies and the monsters. As the chaos was unleashed, the owl house residents and the little army all looked at them seeing the fun happening.. "Go!" Eda rushes with her witch's staff. "Go go!"
"Are you okay?" Chris said getting up, but Skara is blushing hard for him being on top of her.
"U-uh huh…"
Chris then saw what's happening….. Then blushed and got off of her. "S-sorry about that."
"I-it's alright." Skara said, still blushing hard, watching him escape in a blue blur.
Lilith watches flew off, and let out a dog howl of anguish and rage.

"Wait, none of us won the bet, so who's in house-cleaning duty?" Luz said to everyone.
"Technically, Eda won," Chris said as he was at the end of the flying staff after hopping on Owlbert. "Since she enjoyed using Beat like a fighting machine-."
"You will regret it Owl Lad-ow!" Beat cringes in pain.
"So, to tally the final results, last place i-."
"Not it!" Eda, King, Beat, and Luz shouted in unison.
"Why do I even bother?" the short teen grumbled.

After half an hour had passed, Chris was busy cleaning up Hooty… until the Demon Owl looked up. "Huh, what is it Ho-."
"Hoot! Hoot! A new playmate!" he dug under the mud… again…
"Hooty! I JUST WASHED YOU!"
"OW!? HEY! WOAH!" Chris hears a familiar voice, Hooty comes back in his… coiling body to see Skara in his hold. "HELP! IT'S GOING TO EAT ME!"
"Skara?" Chris said with a raised eyebrow. "Hooty let her go!"
"Okay!" He let go of the girl and went back to his door. "Hoot Hoot!"
"..." this left the two teens, as the short teen spoke out. "So… Skara, what brings you here in this part of the woods?"
"I.. came here to see you," the barb witch said walking up to him then blushed a little. "I was wondering if you're okay after your… fall?"
"Oh… yeah I'm alright," Chris motions his body to show no harmful damage. "See, I'm all better."
"G-good... uh… here," Skara hands him a pair of winged shoes like the other teens were wearing. "Boscha stole these, they're boy size… I thought just in case you would… fall… again..."
"U-um… sure… why not." he started putting them on and to make it fit. "Huh, they fit." He feels them flying, seeing the bat wings on his heels. "Wow, these are really handy?"
They heard a voce, Skara could recognise that it was Boscha. "Skara?! Where are you?!"
"Oh, it's Bosha, I have to go." Skara said, then started to look a little shy. "So… um… I'll see you later?"
"... Yeah…" Chris smiled at her. "I'll… see you soon." she sees her off , leaving the short teen smile… and Hooty scooting to him.
"..."
"..."
"Oh don't worry," the owl door demon spoke out. "I won't blab… unless you wash me again."
"... deal…"

"So, what have we learned," The Owl Lady pours a new cup of Apple Blood. "What have we learned today?"
"Is that everyone's lives totally different, and difficult?" Luz said the answer.
"Says you," King pointed out and gestured to the front part of the inner house. "I didn't get to live my fullest when Meanie Gnome Killjoy kept ruining all the fun!" A harpoon flew through a window, stabbing through the table which missed the fured teen. "Weh!?"
"Living a reckless life is not one to live with," Luz said to him. "We can't live irresponsibly, making people's lives miserable, or to influence others." The abnormal girl explains the life of a teen. "I have to live through all that, and I have good friends to keep me company."
"Are you kidding," Eda puffed her chest with pride. "Living like Beat is a walk in a park, who knew you were built like a Minotaur."
"And I would appreciate that if you don't use my body like a wrecking ball… again." The large teen held an ice pack on his shoulder. "My body is not some wreckless monster truck, it's a temple to use violence as a last resort."
"Oh please, you're the destructive one of your trio, and it was a blast." the owl lady shrugged.
"Are you kidding, being King wasn't easy either." The large teen shivers. "All those people calling me cute and cuddly, so… tiny and helpless that you will lose your mind to the point of mindless dependency!"
"Ha! Told you my life wasn't easy, I won!" King announces with victory.
"You haven't won king," Beat said. "You nearly got killed by Bosha and her group."
"Not to mention you got caught by Chris… twice," Luz held her fingers to count. "I didn't win because being Eda was almost half fun until you're chased by the Emperor's Coven and Lilith."
"Meaning that I lived the life of a muscular teen without problems, so, does that make me the winner?" Eda looked at the teens and demons… who were all disgruntled with agreement. "But the most important thing of all is we know each other's limits… and make Chris do all the house chores." Eda quickly ducked from another harpoon.
"Wrong! I wasn't part of the competition, so I'm out!" Chris's voice shouted from outside.
"Where does he get all of this Whaling equipment from?" Luz raises her brow in curiosity.
"Battleforge and the Garbage Eda smuggled." Beat said, holding his head up.
*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*
The owl lady looked at the back door in curiosity, opening it… then closing it quickly. "Oh right, There is one thing we have to deal with." Eda said of the large boy and abnormal teen girl.
"What's that?"
The Owl Lady opened the back door, revealing a small army of tiny demons. "ALL HAIL BEAT! ALL HAIL BEAT!" They all chanted to their savior. "OOH~ SAY CAN YOU SEE~! BY THE DONZERLY LIGHT~!"
"Holy crap!" Beat shouted and laughed. "This is awesome!"
"What?!" King shouted. "You have an army?! No fair!"

A Coven Guard platoon is at the gates of the Owl House. "Young human, you are charged for-."
"Shhhhhh!" Chris held his finger, pointing at the house. For Eda is sleeping peacefully and turns on the couch to snuggle deeper into the furniture.
"... Oh… young human," the leader of the platoon is now in a quieter tone. "You are charged for use of wild magic, you must come with me."
The short teen held up a pillow, cocking it like a shotgun as Hooty slithered at the ready. "I don't think so," the human quietly spoke. "Prepare to feel the wrath of the short stack."
The Emperor's guards quietly charge at the demon and human as they softly but forcefully punch Chris, some of them punch his gut to try to knock him out. The short teen however used his pillow to slam at their helmets and pulled out his amulet. "Redcap." he whispered his titan out, it was about to roar but Chris hushed it and shut its mouth.
They all stopped to look at the window, showing Eda snorting to be awake… but continues to a deep slumber.
The Swara Titan whacked the Guard up into the air, as the guard flew, Hooty quickly grabbed a pillow to soften the land and mitigate the sound. Both of them shushed at one another and continued fighting
As a guard threw a knife at Chris which stabbed his arm, resulting in him biting Hooty's body, and vice versa Hooty biting his shoulder. The short teen groaned and clenched his teeth… throwing it back at the guards shoulder… The Guard grabbed a pillow and stuffed it into his face and screamed in pain. The guards all dog pile Chris, but despite his short size, he crawled out of the pile as they fought one another. One of the guards pulled the knife off and started crowding Chris and Hooty.
"What are we going to do?!" Hooty whispered panicky at the short teen.
Chris looked around his surroundings and thought of something. "I'm kind of glad Eda doesn't clean herself up." he picked up a box, opening it… to see it full of bells.
"*gasp*" They looked back at the house where Eda is sleeping. What is worse than death, is to be tormented by a cranky awakened woman. "You wouldn't dare…." the captain whispered in a panic.
"I totally dare." Chris whispered and chucked the bells at them. The Emperor's Guards all try to catch the bells without making a nose and catched them by the handle and bell, as all of them were caught Redcap is hovering over the clustered group and cracked it's neck.
Hooty and Chris watched the guards being beaten up… for the Demon to turn to the short teen. "Are you going to tell them you actually put earmuffs on Eda?"
"No, it's more fun this way." Chris said as he enjoyed the show unfolded.
