He did it (F.A.C.E)

7

The three of us finally stood up, and the other papa came up to him and started looking at him. Lifting his hair and making his eyes wide. It was odd.... "Matthew... gossip circle," I whispered. He nodded at me, and we both began to hunch beside each other. "Do you think it was because of those wishes last night?" He asked. "I feel like that would be crazy, but this seems crazier... So maybe?" I spoke.

"What were the wishes again?"
"One that they would slap themselves... And that they would see the parts that still love each other?"
"Wait... does that mean these parts of them still love each other?" He asked. We both turned to the other papa looking at our dad carefully, and we both shrugged. "Seems like it?...... is this supposed to be their nice sides? Papa doesn't look too nice," Matthew spoke confused.

"Yeah... he kind of looks homeless..."
"Oh! He said he was lazy! Maybe it's like his "chill" side?"
"Hmmmmm? Idk but both of them seem like they have some screws loose..."
"Yeah... What should we do?"
"Well, my guess is that the "spell" we did work... We made a wish during a full moon at eleven-eleven," I explained.
"Okay!! Well, how do we reverse it?"
"I don't know! Tiktok didn't tell me!"
"What? You saw it on TikTok?"
"Well yeah? I'm on it all the time."

He looked at me annoyed and tried to smile through it. "Maybe if we do it again and wish for a reverse?" He suggested. "Maybe... But the next full moon is in a month..." I spoke. He facepalmed and shook his head. "What is the point of this then? How do we undo it?" He asked.

"I don't know, but it seems like you are blaming me, and I don't appreciate it because first off I didn't think it would actually work" I tried to defend myself.

"What are you two talking about?" We both felt two hands on our heads, and we looked up, terrified. "Oh, nothing..." I said nervously. It was the other papa, he kept smoking, and it was so annoying. "Can you not smoke in here...." I said waving my hand around to get rid of the smoke. "No..." was all he said.

We suddenly began to hear banging on the front door, and Matthew and I jumped. We heard the door bust open within seconds and footsteps running towards our way. "ARTHUR? MATTHEW? ALFRED?!!!" Papa shouted.

He came into the room where we were and stopped in his tracks seeing them. He had this look of terror on his face, and it was like the blood drained. The other papa let go of our heads and walked beside our dad. "So... that's how I look?" He asked. He began to lean against our dad, and all he could do was push him away, disgusted. "Don't touch me, please," he spoke.

Our papa walked over to our dad and pulled him away, and began to huddle us together. "Who...? How?...." He asked, confused. "Oh, you are so cute!!! Please hug me!!!" The other dad shouted. He jumped towards papa and ended up dropping him to the floor.

Matthew and I stepped away and looked at them, horrified. Papa didn't know what to do and kept trying to push him away. "Francis!! Really?" Our dad spoke. "What?!!! Are you blaming me? Really? Right now?" Papa asked.

"Yup... This is my cue to leave..." Matthew spoke. He grabbed my wrist and began to pull me away as they all started to argue with each other. "This was a nightmare..... I'm actually going to jump off a building," I spoke. 

"Listen to me!!! We have to figure out a way to stop this! We have to think of how to... combine them?" Matthew said, confused. "Ugh!!! We are both idiots! How are we supposed to do that?" I asked. He suddenly slapped me across the face and shook me "get ahold of yourself! Now think!"

"Hey... did you have to slap me?" I cried.
"Sorry, but still! I think that the wish we made might have been taken literally! We said we wanted them to SEE the parts they loved about each other! They are seeing them! Literally! Those people! Our parents? They are our parents... but the parts that still love each other," Matthew spoke. My eyes widened, and I nodded.

"Wait!!! What if the way to "combine" them.... Is they need to realize those parts?..... or no? I'm overthinking it!"
"No!!! You might be onto something! What if the only way is for them to figure it out? Like they need to realize what they love so much..... I mean, that's why we made the wishes in the first place... we wanted them to get back together, maybe this is a chance at it?" he said. He looked a little confused and began to mess his hair up, annoyed.

"It's either that or we wait a month for the next full moon."
"Honestly.... This is going to be difficult! I know we wanted to parent trap them, but I was thinking more of we trick them into going on a date or something.... I explained that not having them solve a riddle that we don't know for sure is correct and that we probably can't just tell them the answer, " I explained.

"Well.... Do you have anything else to do for a month?" Matthew asked. We both began to peek into the room at all four of them arguing with each other. "Well... how should we start?" I asked. I did not want to hear them for a month.

"I'm not sure..... but you know what they say about relationships?"
"No, I don't... I've never been in one... and neither have you...."
"Oh!! They say that one of the ways you can tell if someone loves you is through jealousy!" Matthew wiggled his eyebrows. "Yeah... unless they are possessive and crazy," I rolled my eyes.

"Wait, so your plan is to make them jealous? How? With who?" I asked.
"With them!!! Don't you see? My plan is perfect! The answer is in front of us."
"You haven't said your plan!"
"Ugh!!! Look! The second parents are the parts that still love each other/ probably love about each other.... So..... if you crisscross those pairs..... there might be a chance for jealousy," he tried to explain.
"Dear god.... This is going to backfire."
