This is the end of Role Reversal. The first post of this final chapter to be honest, was terrible and rushed. I decided to rewrite the ending so here it is.

Arthur finally found his spell book and drew it out from where it was placed on a nearby bookshelf.

"Angleterre do you really think nonsense like zat will help?" Francis asks the other, not wanting to waste time in their search for Matthew and Alfred.

"It is not nonsense. Now shut your mouth or I will turn you into an actual frog." Arthur responds to the other before walking over to a closed door.

Within the door was a small closet that Arthur had been using to store the materials that he had used to perform the spell that had gotten them in this mess. Arthur opens the door and pulls out the candles that he uses for occasions such as this. He sets them out in a pattern that was mentioned in his spell book and lights each one. Francis watches what the Brit is doing and stays out of his way. Arthur pauses in thought. Before Francis could question the sudden stop, Arthur walked out of the room, returning with picture of Alfred and Matthew that hadn't been taken too long ago. He tossed the photograph into the center of the arrangement of candles before looking back at his spell book. From there he chanted the spell that was on the page. Once he was done with the spell, he abruptly shuts the spell book and blows out the candles.

After a moment of silence as Arthur cleans up the items he had just used, Francis speaks up. "How did zat help anyt-"

"Just wait. The results shall be seen soon enough." Arthur tells him before continuing to speak, "While we wait would you care for some tea?"

"Non." Francis replies.

"Suit yourself." Arthur tells him, walking to the machine that made the water warm for his tea. He brews himself some tea.


Matthew and Alfred were still having a video game battle to declare who was better at Super Smash Bros Brawl when a sudden odd feeling washed over them both. A quick wave of nausea swept over them. It was unusual but because the feeling only lasted a short amount of time, they both decided to not say anything about it to the other. Soon the day came to a close and it wasn't long before they dozed off. Both of the brothers were feeling drowsy so it wasn't too hard for them to fall asleep. Without their knowledge, the spell had actually worked, taking effect as they slept.

Matthew was the first to wake in the morning. He sleepily stands and shuffles towards the bathroom so that he could brush his teeth. When he enters the bathroom, he catches sight of his reflection. To his surprise and dismay it actually was the familiar look of his own reflection staring back at him. Quickly he makes his way back to the room where the two beds stand side by side. Matthew takes a pillow from his own bed and tosses it at his brother's face. Alfred instantly awoke and moves the pillow off of his face.

"Mattie what do you want?" He mutters, his eyes still closed.

"What did you do?" Matthew asks the other in his quiet tone. Even though it had not been long since his voice had been back to normal, Matthew missed being able to shout and sound louder than he possibly could now.

Alfred looked confused before deciding to open his eyes. When he opens his eyes, he grins.

"Sweet! I'm back to normal! Wait 'til Iggy sees the real me back! I bet he missed me terribly since he had to go without his hero!" Alfred says out of excitement.

Matthew says nothing in response to that.

They pack up their things and Alfred drops Matthew off at his house before going home himself. After he had gotten home he called Arthur.

"Hello, this is Arthur Kirkland speaking." Arthur said into the phone.

"Hey Artie, it's me. I wanted to tell ya I'm back to normal!" Alfred informs him, a grin on his face.

Arthur sighs.

'well, there goes my peace and quiet.' Arthur thinks to himself.

"That is marvelous. Why don't we get together to celebrate?" Arthur suggests.

"Okay! We can have a party tonight at 5 'o clock at my place tonight to celebrate." Alfred replies.

"I will see you tonight then."Arthur says before hanging up the phone.

Alfred looked at his contacts to decide on who to invite to the party, but none of the people on there he wanted to invite besides Matthew and Arthur, but even with Arthur he wasn't too sure if he wanted the Brit to come. All of those people that he had loved to spend time with in the past didn't even acknowledge him when he was Matthew. They all only saw him when he was America, but what if America one day became just a small dot on the map? What true friends would he have then? He sat on his couch, his phone still in his hand as he thought about who really were his friends.


One thing that Arthur hadn't told anyone was that when ever he uses magic, there is a price to pay. Every spell that he casts takes a little of his life away. Depending on the type of spell made it so more or less of his life was drained away. Arthur had never done a spell as draining as he had done on Alfred and Matthew. Arthur himself was aware of the consequences to his actions only after he had performed the first spell that caused Alfred and Matthew to switch bodies. That spell had drained half of his life away. When he realized what he had done and knew he had to fix it, he had to perform the same spell that had the same consequences. He told no one about what he had to do to give the twins their lives back, but he felt it with each passing day.


Alfred had these thoughts make him think about his choices in friends and what ever was going on between him and Arthur. The relationship they shared seemed to almost fall in the lovers category, though Alfred wasn't entirely sure.

It had been a few months since the chaos with magic had happened. Over time, Matthew seemed to be back to his normal self. Alfred made an effort to hang out with him more too especially since Matt seemed to be the only one who would recognize the real him in a situation like this.

Alfred sat next to Matthew on his couch. They were waiting for the popcorn to finish popping in the microwave before they start a movie that they rented. Matthew had found a spy movie that he believed that they both would enjoy so that is what they were going to watch tonight.

"...So basically then Artie threw a fit since I shaved off one of his eyebrows." Alfred finishes his story.

"That was a little mean, eh?" Matthew responds.

Alfred opens his mouth to protest when his cellphone rang.

"One sec Matt, I'm gonna take this." Alfred tells him and grabs his phone out of his pocket.

"Hello?" Alfred answers his phone.

"Hello Alfred, this is Arthur speaking."

Something about how the Brit said that was off, though Alfred couldn't place his finger on what it was.

"Hey Iggy! 'Sup?"

"Alfred, I would like to tell you something..." Arthur trails off, not entirely sure if he could say what he had to, even though he knew it was needed to be said.

"What is it?' Alfred asks.

"We have become friends and now I realize that I have wanted to be even closer to you than that. I love you Alfred." Arthur tells him sincerely.

"honestly, I loved you back, but you didn't believe me when I was trying to tell you I was me and all of that has caused me to think about who I call friends... I'm sorry Iggy but I might have felt love for you once, but it has faded." Alfred tells the other.

There was silence on the line for a minute.

"I understand." Arthur responds and hangs up the phone.

Alfred hangs up the phone, not aware of what was happening on the other end of that conversation.

Arthur's time was up.


The end! Please review.
