Your POV

Man! Today is soooo boring. Yesterday the Hand brothers said we're going to have the next day (which is today) off and go to a festival. They canceled the trip this morning during breakfast so every Smasher is bored. Including me. I'm currently in my room, looking for something to use/do.

"Grrrrrr... Thanks a lot Hands! Hmph!", I mumbled. I sat on my bed and out of the corner of my eye, I saw what looked like the corner of an old and worn out piece of paper underneath my bed. I picked it up, wondering how it got there, and tried to read it. But the writing is very faint.

After several minutes of deciphering the paper, I finally "decoded" it. It was written in a historic language. Being able to read pretty much anything with ease, I started to translate the ancient writing to present day English on a separate piece of paper. I read it aloud to myself without any second thoughts.

"On this paper who says this spell
Will certainly find the magic as well
To change the voice of who is chosen
For in the throat it is shortly frozen.
This spell shall end at the time of midnight
Then in the morning they'll wake in delight.", I spoke. Huh. That's weird.

A few seconds later I thought of a name and then the words started to glow. Not only did the words glow, but 3 words changed into the name I thought of. The words "who is chosen" became Luminary. Uh oh.

3rd Person POV

In the living room sleeping on the couch was Luminary (Eleven). He was in the middle of reading when he fell asleep. The mark on his hand started to glow and then he woke up from a sudden, sharp, freezing coldness in his throat. He rolled off the couch, landing on the floor while holding his neck like he was choking. Unfortunately, no one was around to see or hear what was happening to him.

The chill quickly subsided and Eleven sat straight up. "What the-?!", he spoke then immediately slapped his hand over his mouth. Luminary was completely astonished when he heard his voice. By this time his mark stopped glowing.

Oh my gosh! Why do I sound like a girl!? Luminary panicked in his head. He had no idea on what caused this, other than the cold feeling, but he was determined to find out.

Just in a nearby hallway, Eleven saw someone down the hall. He was going to shout their name but stopped himself. He didn't want to take the risk of embarrassment with this new voice. So he went to his room, got a pen and a notebook, then left.

Luminary walked down the hall and made a turn, in an attempt to find someone. He was so deep in his thoughts that he accidentally bumped into a wall. He fell down, dropping his things and covered his face.

Nearby, (Y/N) heard his fall and went over. She helped him up but Eleven only smiled.

"Hey. Don't I get a "Thanks" as well?", she asked, letting his hand go. But he only held one finger up, signaling her to give him one second. He got his notebook and wrote "Thanks".

"Wouldn't it be easier if you just said it instead?", (Y/N) asked. He nodded his head but that only started to confuse her.

"Did something happen? Why aren't you speaking?", (Y/N) asked, this time with slight irritation in her voice.

On his notebook he wrote as fast as he could, "I think I have laryngitis. So I plan to see Dr. Mario.". But that was a lie. Luminary knew the truth, but he didn't want her or anyone else to know it.

"Oh. He's discussing things with Master Hand right now so you'll have to wait."(Y/N) informed. Luminary nodded and they both walked their separate ways.

In (Y/N)'s mind she thought, Hmmm... He's not talking at all and he's only writing. So yeah. He's likely the one.

Time Skip

Eleven made it back to his room and flopped onto his bed. He had a few encounters with the other Smashers who asked how he was. Luminary just gave a sad look and wrote "I believe I have laryngitis.". The Smashers had different responses like "Hope you get better.", "Alright.", "Go see Dr. Mario." and "Oh."

In his room, Luminary thought of all the possibilities that could've caused this change. Then he came to the conclusion that it was a spell. Eleven thought that was the most likely reason because he wasn't sick recently so he didn't take any drugs, ice cold treats give brain freeze and not a voice change, and he didn't get his neck hit in any recent battles.

Thinking that Dr. Mario was still with Master Hand, Eleven decided to go to the library to see if he can find a solution. So he got his materials and headed there.

Luminary's POV

Geez... I've been here for hours and haven't found anything to help me out! This girl voice of mine is driving me crazy! I've read almost every tome in this large area, except for one.

Now that I'm finished reading this current book, I can now read the last one.

After reading this completely, I have both good and bad news. Good news is that in this last book I found a solution. Bad news is that I have to wait until midnight, and that there's no other solution! I don't know if I can make it through to midnight. Sigh... If that's the only way to get my real voice back, then I'll wait.

So I put the books back and left. I don't know how long I was in there though. But from how black the sky is, I know I was in there for hours. So I headed to my room.

It was 9:48pm so most of the Smashers already fell asleep and I missed dinner time. There were some Smashers that were still awake though, since there's light coming from underneath their door.

I was making a turn at a corner when I accidentally bumped into someone. We both fell down and got dizzy. After regaining consciousness, I saw the same person I "talked" to earlier.

"Oh! Sorry Eleven. Hehe..", said (Y/N). We both got up but unfortunately (for me) I said, "It's alright." I widened my eyes and slapped my mouth shut, while (Y/N) gasped and also widened her eyes.

Your POV

Omg.. Did he just speak in a girl's voice!? So that's why he was writing. I can't believe it. The spell I said earlier worked!

The second I was about to talk, Luminary started to go into a "panic mode". His eyes were wide and he started doing these weird charades, probably signaling me to be quiet, don't talk, or something like that.

I gave him a weird look, mumbled "Ok...", and headed straight to my room. I took a quick shower, changed into my pjs, turned off the lights, and went to bed.

3rd Person POV

When Eleven was back in his room, he did his usual night routine and went to bed.

In bed, Luminary didn't want to wait. He wanted the night to be over as soon as possible. So that in the morning, his real voice is back.

While Eleven was in his REM stage of sleep, his neck became slightly warm but he didn't notice.

Time Skip: Morning

Some Smashers woke to the sound of a loud cheer, while a few others were still sleeping. That cheer came from Luminary's room.

He woke up from a tingle in his nose. So he sneezed, saying, "Achoo!". And when he heard his voice, he became astounded. So Luminary let out a cheer, relieved to have his voice back. But he forgot it was morning, so he accidentally woke others up.

Minor Time Skip

Everyone's up and out of bed, all dressed up for the day. Like yesterday, there were no battles. So today, everyone went to the festival that the Hands had cancelled yesterday.

Everyone was having fun. Going on thrilling rides, games being played, prizes given out, different foods and drinks were sold, and everyone was talking. Now that Eleven has his voice back, he enjoyed this day like everyone else.
