Matt's Pov:

"What happened?", I mumbled and rubbed against my face. "Why does my face hurt...?" It felt like somebody hit me or something like that. But I was always careful that nobody hurted my beautiful face so I had no idea why it hurted. I also wondered why my voice sounded different like the voice of somebody else. But my face was more important now.

When I stood up from the ground I felt strange like something was different and not right. I had no idea what it could be...

Then I remembered the magic amulet and the fight of my friends. And the light that came out of it and filled the whole room. They said it wouldn't be a magic amulet but I was right! But I didn't know what kind of magic happened. Had even anything changed?

And where was the amulet? I had it in my hand when I passed out but now it was somewhere else! I was confused. Where could it be?

Maybe one of the others had it. I looked to my friends who were still laying on the ground and saw one of them actually had it in his hand. I smiled and wanted to take it but then I noticed WHO lay there on the ground and held it. My eyes dilated.

"N-no! This can't be!", I gasped and stepped backwards. I turned around to the mirror on the wall. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. I could only watch on my reflection in the mirror. A man with black eyes looked back.

THIS wasn't my body. I screamed.

Edd's Pov:

I woke up from a scream. I saw Tom standing in front of the mirror and he looked very scared. I had no idea why. I knew he was the one who screamed but he acted weird like wouldn't be himself.

I felt strange like something was wrong with me but I had no time to think what it was.

"Tom...? What's wrong? Why-", I asked and stood up. I had no idea why but my voice sounded like Matt's voice. Tom turned around.

"Give me my body back!", he shouted angrily. His behavior and the way he moved remind me somehow at Matt.

"Er... what? Tom, are you drunk or something?", I asked slowly.

"You will see what I mean when you look at your reflection, thief!", he yelled."Give me my beautiful face back!"

I was confused. He acted like he would be Matt. I turned around to ask the others if they know what was wrong with Tom.

I froze. I couldn't believe what I saw: My own body lay on the ground. If my body lay there... I sneaked a peek at my reflection in the mirror because I hoped I was wrong. I really wished I wouldn't have.

I was in Matt's body. And it looked like Matt was in Tom's.

Tord's Pov:

I woke up to see Matt and Tom standing in front of me. Oh shit, I passed out! I hoped I didn't mumble anything about the army, the giant robot or something else I had to hide while I passed out.

But it didn't seem like I would have. They looked worried and Tom looked like he was mad at Matt. I didn't know why he was but I didn't really care about it. I had to take over the world and I would leave after I got my robot.

"Give it back to me right now!", Tom shouted.

"Do you think I like it?", Matt asked back. "I don't even know how it happened!"

I pretend to care. "Tom? Matt? What-" I stopped talking. My voice sounded like Edd's voice for some reason. I had a strange feeling I never felt before. Like I wouldn't be myself. I noticed that I wore a green hodie instead my red one. Wait, did that mean...?

I walked in front of the mirror and saw Edd instead of me. I raised an eyebrow, he raised one, too. I grined evily, he also did it. Well, at least I wasn't in Tom's body.

"We swapped bodies.", I mumbled and turned around to the other two. Looked like I had to get my own body back before I could take over the world. But if I was Edd who was me then?

"Holy carrot cake on a kitten!", a voice shouted. I saw myself staring at us. So Tom was in my body now.

Tom's Pov:

It felt strange to me that I used the voice of the commie. The others were standing there and looked confused. Myself (or better the person who was me right now) looked angry and scrowled at Matt.

"We swapped bodies?! How?!", I wanted to know. I hated the commie's voice and the accent. The fact I had to speak with it didn't make it any better. I was in Tord's body. Why his body of all people?!

"Okay.", Matt commenced. "First we have to know who is in whose body now. And then-"

"So you are Edd.", I interrupted him.

"Yes.", he answered. "And Matt is in your body, Tom." That explained much.

"I am actually Tord.", Edd growled. "And you must be Tom." He grinned. "It could have been worse."

"How could it be any worse?! I am not the handsome man anymore!", Matt yelled with tearful eyes. I don't want to see him crying in MY body so I went to him to cheer him up. He whined.

"It would be worse if I were in Tom's body.", Tord explained. I really wanted to strike him in the face but that was actually Edd's body and I don't think he would like it. But hey, I was in HIS body right now so I could easily break his arm.

I looked to Matt who looked like a picture of misery. "There are some things positive things about it, too. You never saw how your body back looks like.", I whispered. I just had to say something he could see positive and this was the first thing what came into my mind what could cheer him up. "You can see your body in a new perspective."

"R-really?", he asked. "Do you really think so, Todd?"

I nodded. "Of course! And this won't be forever, right? I'm sure we will be in our own bodies soon.", I lied. I WASN'T sure that there was a happy end and that we would be in our own bodies but I didn't want to see Matt crying in my body. It was a thing the commie would always remind me if he saw it. "It isn't Todd, it is Tord. And I am Tom.", I corrected him.

We walked back to Tord and Edd.
