Liz: Life has been super hectic for Ray and I. We've both been so busy and have had little time to update.

Ray: With Thanksgiving Break coming, we hope that we'll be able to update more often. Now, let us begin!

"Okay, I call this official meeting of the Junior Magic Club to order!" 10-year old Maddie announced. Her, Amelia, and Bell sat in the basement of the Nordic household trying to conduct their monthly meeting of their Magic Club with the lights dimmed and the only source of light coming from candles that Maddie had lit with her fire magic. 

"Now, first order of business, an update on our magical ability process. Bell, what's new?" 

"...I froze the water when Dana was taking a shower," Bell flatly stated, cracking only the slightest smile. "It was for messing with my room while I was practicing my flute lesson." 

"Oooh~," Maddie said. "Amelia, what about you?" 

"I was able to stop Father's latest black magic curse from destroying the kitchen," Amelia declared. "It took most of my strength to do so, but the worst of the damage is that we need a new stove." 

"Sweet! My turn, and I think I can top the both of you by a mile; I, Maddie Lupei, have perfected the art of body swapping magic!" 

Amelia, who had been sipping tea when Maddie had been speaking, immediately did a spit-take and ended up hitting Bell, who sat there a bit irritated at the liquid that she was now covered in. However, the bigger issue that needed to be dealt with was what Maddie had said; "You did what?!" The two asked at the same time. 

Maddie smirked, satisfied that her news had brought attention to usually less-than-eventful meeting. "That's right; I've worked on body swapping magic. In fact, it's currently being tested as we speak on two, uh, unsuspecting volunteers." 

"Maddie this is dangerous and not to mention reckless!" Amelia shouted. "There could be undesired consequences from using this type of magic!" 

"Who did you use the spell on?" Bell asked, a dark aura surrounding her that could rival that of Susan or Sweden. 

Maddie laughed nervously. "Well...."

Tye woke-up to find himself looking up at a ceiling that wasn't his own. He sat up and found himself not in his bedroom but in one that was slightly familiar to him. Great. This must be someone's idea of a prank, he thought as he got out of bed and went out the door to check out the rest of the place. What he found was that he was in what appeared to be Germany's house? How did he know? Well all the family pictures on the wall were a dead give-away. How the crap did I get here? 

As he walked down the hall, Tye passed by a mirror that was on a stand and stopped after passing it. He quickly turned around and went back to do a double take. What he found was surprising; his reflection was that of Aurel! "Vhat the crap?!" Tye shouted as he looked at his reflection. He moved his hair, blinked, and even pinched himself to try and convince himself that this wasn't really happening. "Vhat is going on here?!" He quickly covered his mouth when he heard how he sounded. "Oh gosh! I even sound like him! This can't be happening! This just can't be happening!" 

That's when one of the bedroom doors opened and out came a yawning Katrina. "Aurel, vhy are you yelling?" Katrina yawned. "This is the one day I actually sleep in and you voke me up." 

"Katrina!" Tye quickly ran over to the slightly shorter girl and grabbed her by the shoulders. "You've gotta help me! I'm stuck in Aurel's body and I don't know vhat's going on!" 

Katrina just stared at who she assumed was her cousin and then sighed. "....Vell you've lost your mind," Katrina stated, removing "Aurel's" hands from her shoulders. "I'm going back to bed." 

"No, vait, Katrina, it's me, Tye!" 

"Right," Katrina sarcastically stated. "And I'm Queen Elizabeth." Then she slammed the door shut and tried to go back to sleep, only to have Tye knock on the door. She groaned in annoyance as she got out of bed and went to open the door to find who she assumed was her cousin standing outside looking frantic. "Aurel, I'm not in the mood to deal vith one of your games, I-" 

"Katrina, I am being serious vhen I say that I am not Aurel!" Tye interrupted. "I am Tye and I'm somehow stuck in his body! You've gotta help me figure this out!" 

The young German girl looked up at the young man in front of her, just staring at him. Then the house phone downstairs went off. "Excuse me," she said, walking downstairs to answer the phone. "Hallo?" 

"Katrina, it's Aurel!" A voice on the other side of the phone shouted. "I'm stuck in Tye's body and I  don't know what's going on! You gotta call Amelia or something!" 

Katrina face-palmed at the news and then rubbed her temples. Can't I have one shred of normalcy in my life? She thought.

"Now do you believe me?" Tye asked Katrina, surprising her since she hadn't known he was right there. 

"Ja, I believe you." 

That's when Prussia came down the stairs, yawning and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Morning Aurel, Katrina," He yawned, patting "Aurel" on the head. 

"Guten Morgen Onkle Prussia," Katrina greeted. 

"...Vhat she said," Tye said. 

"Oh, Aurel, ve're heading out later today to go and play paint ball. Better get your gear on!" Prussia stated, smacking Tye hard on the back. 

"Vhy the crap vould I go do something like that?!" Tye shouted, not realizing that he was in Aurel's body and not his own. Prussia looked at the young boy in confusion and then at Katrina, as if she had the answers. 

"Uh, ve actually have somewhere important ve have to be today so ve vill have to reschedule," Katrina quickly spoke before she started pushing Tye to the door. "Ve vill be back in a few hours." 

After they were out the door, Prussia was still confused. "Maybe I just need a coffee."

"Oww, oww, oww!" Maddie winced as Bell dragged her by the ear into the meeting hall. Amelia followed behind with Maddie's spell book in hand and a very disappointed look on her face. The three of them were at the world conference, trying to undo the mess that Maddie had made. Waiting for them was Aurel, Tye, Katrina and Rose, who were still in their PJs. They were all tired and restless, wanting things to be fixed right away. 

"Hurry up and fix this!" Katrina shouted at Maddie.

"I will, don't worry," Maddie insisted. "Now then, let's fix this up. Okay, I need you both to stand next to each other, hold hands, and then close your eyes." 

Aurel and Tye looked at her in confusion. 

"Come on, just do it! Or do you wanna stay like this because that can be arranged." 

The two sighed and held each other's hands and then closed their eyes. 

"Okay now, stay just like that." Maddie then pulled out a camera from her back pocket and took a quick picture. The others gave her a look and then she chuckled. "You never know when you're gonna need some blackmail." 

"Fix this!" Amelia whisper-shouted at Maddie. 

"Okay, okay!" 

Maddie then went over to the two boys and placed hands on both of their shoulders and said a chant in Romanian. Her eyes were glowing as she spoke and then they stopped when she finished speaking. 

"Okay, we should be good." 

"Well?" Bell spoke first. 

Aurel and Tye opened their eyes and then looked at each other. The Italian was the first to pull away from the hand-hold and glare at Aurel. "I never want to experience that, ever again!" Tye shouted. 

Aurel shrugged. "It vasn't that bad." He admitted. 

"Hopefully no one else we go through that again, right Maddie?" Amelia asked. 

Maddie chuckled. "Well, you never know." 

So Maddie caused a bit of trouble. What else is in store for the capitals? That shall be revealed next time.
