Hey guys! Here is chapter 2!
[Blake gasped when he saw a little Tori running around, chasing a little Dustin. "CYBER CAM!! I thought you said they will only behave like four year olds! Not look like them!"]
"Sorry Blake dude! Their brain scans said they would act like four year olds, looks like Lothor went that, like, whole extra step and changed their bods too dude!"
"Cyber Cam is right, Blake. I didn't know that Lothor would have gone to this much trouble to completely change someone. It would have been enough to make the Power Rangers think they were children." Sensei said from Cam's desk.
"I don't believe this." Hunter said, still shocked from seeing his friends and fellow rangers in children form.
At the sound of Hunter's voice, Little Cam looked away from Cyber Cam, towards Hunter. He stared at Hunter for a few seconds before he started to throw a tantrum.
"Cyber Cam! Lemme go! I wanna go to Hunter!" Said Little Cam, struggling in Cyber Cam's arms.
"Chillax mini-me! Here you go..." Said Cyber Cam as he put Little Cam on the ground.
"Thank you. And don't call me mini-mi!" Yelled Little Cam, while stomping his feet. "That's Creator Dude or C-man to you! Remember who made you!" Said Little Cam, with the amount of dignity that a four year old could muster; before he ran up to Hunter and stretched his arms into the air, so that Hunter could pick him up.
Hunter froze for a second, not knowing what to do. Instinct said to him to pick up the small child, yet his brain said to him that this was one of his friends and you don't go invading their personal space. His heart told him that this was Cam and to pick him up and never let him go. Hunter chose to go with his instinct, and bent down to lift up Little Cam.
"Hey Cam." Hunter said awkwardly, while balancing Little Cam on his hip. "You okay?"
Little Cam nodded, then placed his small arms around Hunter's neck and gave him a hug. Little Cam didn't move, he just stayed there, resting, while keeping his arms around Hunter's neck. Well this was new. Hunter had never seen Cam give any physical sign of affection. Except that one time that Hunter had hugged him, which he had initiated, not Cam. He could get use to this. Maybe when Cam was changed back into his adult form, Hunter could try hugging him more often without it looking suss. Nah, that would never work, Cam always questioned everything. But that was just one aspect of what Hunter liked about him.
"Shane! Dudey dude! Cm'ere! Lookey what I got!" Said a small voice from behind Cyber Cam.
"Dustin? Wow dude! There is no way you can go factory pro now, man." Said Shane in awe, seeing his best friend like this was like some very weird Déjà Vu, as it was around the age of four when Shane first met Dustin.
"Dude! Factory pro is so, like not that cool! I wanna be a Power Ranger!" Said Little Dustin, running up to Shane, while holding what looked like a Power Rangers comic book.
Shane chuckled, shaking his head. That was what Dustin had said to him when they first met. Shane had been playing in a sandpit when Dustin fell on top of his sand castle, and instead of crying that his sand castle was ruined, Shane picked up the little boy, making sure he was okay. Then Dustin asked Shane if he wanted to play a game with him. And coincidently, the game was Power Rangers. All afternoon both Shane and Dustin pretended they had ranger powers and were defending the sand pit from the evil pigeons. From that day on, Shane and Dustin had always been close friends.
"Pick me up Shane! I wanna be tall!!" Little Dustin said. Shane picked up Little Dustin, while trying not to laugh. It was such a four year old Dustin thing to say. Dustin was always a little too short for his age, until of course puberty happened and Dustin's height had caught up with Shane's.
"What are you reading there, Dust?" Shane asked Little Dustin, using his childhood nickname for him.
"Power Rangers! It's the mega issue!! When that yucky Ivan Ooze tries to, like, destroy the world! And then the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers meet that Dulcea and gain extra super powers and then become ninjas, like us dude! Because, you know, we are ninjas too! You get it dude? How awesome is that!" Exclaimed Little Dustin with a lot of excitement. Shane had forgotten that Dustin's favourite rangers were the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers.
"Blake! Can you help me with my hair?" Asked a Little Tori as she ran up to a still shocked Blake and pulled him to the little table in the centre of the room. There were colouring books all over the table, crayons, hair clips and glitter.
"S-sure Tor." Said Blake, who didn't seem to be taking this well. Which Hunter seemed to notice.
"Bro, you alright?" Asked Hunter, walking towards the table to stand near his brother.
Blake just gave him a look that said 'drop it, we'll talk later.' He then sat down beside Little Tori and tried focusing on what she wanted him to do, which was braid her hair then cover it with clips. Little Tori was acting very different from the Tori he knew, she was acting very girly. This made him calm down a bit and nearly smile; he was so never going to make her forget this if they changed her back. If.
"Uh, Cyber Cam? Why is it that you have colouring books and glitter on standby?" Asked Hunter, who was trying to change the subject and who still had Little Cam resting on him.
"Dude! Never forget this! Cyber Cam is always prepared!" Said Cyber Cam.
Hunter just raised his eyebrow and looked at him.
"Okay dude, father-dude sent me for a few rug rat supplies for when they woke up. They changed some time in the night, so when I went to check on them, they were already turned. But it's totally cool dude, because now that you are all here, we can go and get more stuff!"
"I don't think that was Hunter's point Cyber Cam, but you're right, we should get more supplies. I mean, who knows how long they are going to be like this." Said Shane.
"Good idea Shane." Sensei said, jumping from the computer desk and landing on the small table. "We need some more clothes, a few toys, maybe a film for them to watch and food."
"I'm hungry, Hunter." Said Little Cam, while he was still hugging Hunter's neck, the word food had triggered a response from him again.
Hunter let out a small chuckle, as he sat down on a massive pillow, next to Blake, and lightly pulled at Little Cam's shoulder so that he could see his eyes. "Well, I can make you something to eat. What do you feel like?"
"Noodles". Said Little Cam with a small smile.
"I want macaroni and cheese dude!" Yelled Little Dustin, as he struggled against Shane's arms. Shane got the message and put Little Dustin down, who then ran up to Hunter and jumped on him, sending Hunter on his back.
"Nuh uh! Peanut Butter sandwiches are better!" Said Little Tori who mimicked Little Dustin and also jumped on Hunter.
"Hey, let's pretend Hunter is made of jelly and jump on him!" Said Little Dustin, excitedly.
"Jelly?" Asked Little Cam.
"Dude! You need to watch Finding Nemo!" Said Little Dustin, as he was trying to stand on Hunter's stomach.
"Whoa, no Dustin! Bad Dustin! Hey guys a little help here?" Asked Hunter trying to sit up, which was a very hard task when one had three children sitting on his torso.
"No way dude, now we can go and get the supplies." Said Cyber Cam, walking towards the exit.
"Good idea. Hunter you stay here and baby sit while Cyber Cam and I get supplies." Shane said as he followed Cyber Cam. "See you soon Sensei."
"I'm coming to." Blake added. Hunter was about to protest but when he saw Blake's face he knew Blake needed some air, space and time to think, away from Ninja Ops.
"Fine, just leave me here to fend for myself." Hunter said, dramatically, but they had already left.
"It will be fine Hunter. I am here to assist you." Sensei offered.
"Uh thanks Sensei, but no offence, I need human sized arms to help me handle things." Said Hunter, as he wrapped his arms around the three mini rangers so that he could sit up without them falling off of him. The last thing he needed was for one of them to cry. However the little rangers didn't seem to want to budge.
"You will be fine Hunter. For a little while, I am sure you can handle things." Said Sensei as he jumped to the kitchen. "Why don't we make them something to eat?"
Hunter huffed. This was going to be a long day. He tried standing but it seemed that none of the children wanted to get off him.
"Hey, how about this! Hunter is a boat and the floor is water! Whoever falls in gets eaten by a shark!" Yelled Little Tori.
"Yeah!" Said Little Dustin, as he held onto Hunter's shirt in case he fell into the imaginary water.
"Why would Hunter be a boat? He is more surfboard shaped. Not boat shaped." Said Little Cam.
"No he isn't Cam!" Yelled Little Tori, it seemed she was a feisty child. "I know surfboards and Hunter isn't a surfboard!"
"Whoa, okay, no fighting and please everyone, use your inside voice!" Hunter said, trying to stop any future arguments.
Little Dustin started pinching Hunter's left arm. "I don't know dudes! I don't think Hunter is a surfboard! He's got arms, surfboards don't have arms. I think Hunter is a grown up!"
"Ouch! Dustin! No pinching the grown up!" Hunter said, looking at his arm, which was starting to show little pink spot marks where Dustin had pinched him. Who knew a four year old could be so strong?
Little Tori and Little Cam rolled their eyes at Dustin misinterpretation of their conversation.
"We know he isn't a surfboard Dustin! He just looks like one!" Said Little Tori.
Little Dustin pouted, tilted his head on an angle and then stared at Hunter's face.
"Nope. I don't see it!" Little Dustin exclaimed.
"Okay everyone, new game!" Said Hunter, trying to get their attention. "When I say go, why don't you chase after Uncle Sensei and, umm, whoever gets there first is the winner!"
"Yay!" Said Little Dustin and Little Tori at the same time. They both jumped off Hunter's stomach and stood near the table, waiting for Hunter to say go.
"What does winner get?" Asked Little Cam, who was still sitting on Hunter's chest.
Of course Cam would ask that! Tori and Dustin didn't notice that Hunter never said an actual prize.
"Uh, winner gets to pick their prize?" Hunter asked, hoping that would satisfy Cam.
"Wicked!" Said Little Cam, uncharacteristically, as he too climbed off Hunter and stood next to Little Tori and Little Dustin.
"Okay, ready...set...go!" Said Hunter.
The three little rangers ran towards the kitchen, leaving Hunter to have a few seconds of peace. Hunter let out another sigh and sat up. He looked at his arm, noticing the still pink spots where Dustin pinched him. If the spots don't fade soon, Hunter was not going to go easy on Dustin in their next sparing match. That is, if they are ever changed back.
"I win!" Came a voice from the kitchen. It sounded like Dustin's.
"Hey lookey! A guinea pig!" Hunter heard Little Tori say.
"Tori! Put down Uncle Sensei!" Sensei exclaimed, sounding just a little scared.
Oh that can't be good.
"I'm coming Sensei!" Yelled Hunter, as he jogged towards the kitchen.
As he opened the door he found Little Tori rocking a distressed looking Sensei in her arms, while singing 'Hush Little Baby' to him. Little Dustin and Little Cam were trying to reach for a cook book that Sensei had left on the counter. Little Dustin had went on all fours so that Little Cam could stand on him, using him as a stool.
Hunter shook his head at the madness. This was going to be a very long day!
Hey guys! Sorry it's a bit shorter than the last chapter, hope you liked it! Please review! I hope I managed to get Tori, Dustin and Cam to sound like four year olds! Lemme know!
Obrigada! =]
