Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. I wish I did. ^^;; Cole would never have turned evil in my Charmed!! *tear* Well, okay, here we go! BTW, I kinda took the spell from Spyder's Yu-Gi-Oh! fic called Chibi For A Day. Sorry Spyder!! *gives cookies and chocolate*

Other Stuff: Cole is around. ^^ Can't have a mini-person fest without Cole around! *huggles a chibified Cole* And he's half-demon. Not invincible, not human, half-demon. ^^ And there is tyke-speech in here. May be hard to understand in points, but it's generally 'r' replaced with 'w'.

Part 1: Well, That Was Stupid…

Paige sat in the attic, the Book of Shadows open on her lap, reading. Flipping to the next page in the yellowed, antique Book, she noticed a spell that hadn't been there earlier, written in curling French script.

"Ce qui était, n'est pas ce qui est. Ce qui était grand, est maintenant ce qui est petit. Grandissant, ou accroissant vers le bas. L'innocence est la clef. La clef à la manière you.re censée pour être. Bons, mauvais, mauvais bons Vont de nouveau à votre enfance…" Paige muttered.

As she finished speaking, lightning cracked over the Manor, and thunder rumbled the house so deep the windows rattled. "I just read that spell aloud, didn't I?" Paige realized, slapping herself on the forehead. "And I don't know what it meant." She ran downstairs to see if anyone in the Manor (particularly Leo) could speak French.

"Leoooo! Leo!" Paige yelled as she thundered down the stairs. He poked his head around the door casing, a questioning look in his eyes.

"What is it, Paige? Piper and I were watching 'The Joys of Home Birthing!'" Leo announced, and Paige could hear a groan from Piper as the woman in the documentary screamed.

"Umm…yeah. Anyway, Leo, there's a spell in the Book of Shadows that just appeared, and it's in French. I was wondering if you could translate it for me?"

"Sure. I'll be right up." Paige sighed in relief and trudged back up the stairs. She was stopped short by a wailing sound coming from Cole and Pheobe's shared room. Pheobe wasn't home, so what was going on? Paige pushed open the door to tell Cole to quiet down, but she couldn't see the half-demon in there anywhere.

"Cole? If you're in here, could you quiet it down?" Paige left, shut the door, and continued on her way to the attic. Leo was already there, and reading over the page in the Book of Shadows that Paige had read off of. "Well, what's the verdict?" Paige asked, sitting down by her brother-in-law.

"It reads in English…'What used to be, is not what is. What was tall, is now what is small. Growing up, or growing down. Innocence is the key. The key to the way you're supposed to be. Good, bad, bad good. Go back to your childhood.' It sounds like a spell to cause the target to become a child again."

"Oh shit…" Paige gasped.

"Don't tell me you read it aloud!" Leo exclaimed.

"All right, I won't tell you." Paige then realized something. "Oh crap." She ran back downstairs and to Cole and Pheobe's bedroom. "Cole? Cole, are you in here?"

"Who awe you?" a little voice asked plaintively. Paige looked around first, then down into a pair of large brown eyes.

That were much closer to the ground than they should be…

"Cole?"

"Dat's my name, don' wewr it out!" he declared, laughing like it was the funniest joke he had ever heard.

"Okay then…"

"I wike you! You'we funny!" Cole declared, throwing his arms around Paige's legs in a hug (since that was all the farther the little tyke could reach.)

Piper chose this moment to shout for Paige. Sounds of a scuffle (and quite a few random blowing-up of items) drifted up from downstairs.

"Oh no…Cole, stay here, alright?!" Paige rushed downstairs to back up her oldest sister.

Paige never figured on the young Cole being the kind who always broke the rules. The pint-sized half demon snuck down the stairs after her. The demon slammed into the wall beside the stairs, and seeing Cole, grabbed him to use as a human shield.

"Oh no! Cole!" Paige exclaimed.

"Cole?! What do you mean? That isn't Cole! He happens to be fully-grown!" Piper roared, ticked off about the fact that her exploding power didn't work on this particular demon.

"Put me down!" Cole commanded. The full effect of the statement was lost on the demon, however. After all, what demon is afraid of a three-year old?

"Yeah right. Okay witches, if you want the kid to stay in one piece, you won't attack."

Cole was getting quite upset, and starting to cry. He didn't like the demon, he was threatening the nice people. Before the attacker knew what was happening, Cole bit down hard on his hand, and was dropped to the ground, where he promptly kicked the guy in the shin and ran to hide behind Piper's leg. He peeked out cutely and then hid again when the demon shot a glare his way.

"Hey, no threatening the little kid!" Piper declared, her maternal instinct kicking in. Whoever this child was, he was NOT going to be hurt, Piper would make sure of that. Paige rushed the attacking demon, but was knocked to the ground, and almost shot by an energy ball.

Cole was very angry, and even though he was only three, he was still half-demon, and he was aware of it. An energy orb formed in his hand, it was almost as big as his head.

"LEAVE MY FRWEND AWONE!!" He threw the energy ball at the other demon, who was promptly and thoroughly incinerated. Piper and Paige stared at the mini-Cole. "Wat? He was a meany-head." He ran over to Paige and threw his arms around her neck.

"Paaige…what's going on?" Piper asked, drawing out the 'a' in her sister's name to sound more impatient.

"Umm…I kinda read a little spell from the Book aloud…and I guess it turned Cole into a little kid…"

"You GUESS? Great. Just great. Please don't tell me that it will turn ALL of us into little five-year olds eventually!"

"I don't know!" Paige defended. "And don't yell in front of the kid!"

"I'll yell all right! You haven't heard the end of my yelling!"

Leo came downstairs then to see what the noise was all about. "What's going on?"

"Oh, nothing. A demon just attacked and was vanquished by a three-year-old Cole, nothing to worry about!" Piper declared, being quite obviously sarcastic. "Did you know Paige cast a spell?"

"Is that the one you had me translate?" Leo asked the youngest sister, who nodded and winced, as if expecting more yelling. Leo sighed and sat down on the couch. "Well, we can't do anything until it wears off. I'm guessing the spell will affect everyone that was here when it was cast eventually. We'll just have to wait it out."

"So Phoebe will be the only one taking care of a bunch of little kids? We're all gonna die," Piper said flatly.

End first chapter! I'd really like a beta reader for this'n. I had one of my friends read it over but she doesn't exactly know a lot about Charmed. If there are any glaring mistakes, review and tell me.

Also, another option is to bring in Prue! ^^ I don't know if I'd do this, but vote in your review if you want the oldest Halliwell sister in this. Thanks!
