Thank you to the cutie sisters, CooledCrimsonwolf, Silver Suzaku and Rae TB for reviewing. I am so happy that you like this story. (Does happy dance) I wrote the first chapter back in June & have been debating about posting it since then. The little chibis are just too cute, aren't they? You just want to hug them forever. Here is the next chapter as you requested. I hope you like it!
To Rae TB - Oh thank you so much for reviewing! You are one of my favorite authors on FanFiction & I was excited to read your review & see that you liked my story. Brooklyn is adorable, isn't he? He is my favorite chibi to write. I was laughing when I wrote the part about Zeus not liking Barney but I was laughing even more as I worked on Chapter 3. Poor Hiro hasn't seen anything yet & you did give me a great idea w/h the admittance of love & a kiss from one of the others. I'll see if I can work that in somewhere.
Chapter Two - What the Hell!
There was a knock on the door as Hiro thought it was some of the other bladers returning. "Come in," he called as he tickled the child sitting in his lap, who giggled from his ministrations. "You needed to see me, Hiro," Mr. Dickerson's voice replied, "you said there was an emergency on the voice mail you left." Hiro stood up so suddenly that he nearly dumped Brooklyn from his lap. "Why did Michael and Rick look at me strangely?" Judy questioned as she entered followed by Romero.
Hiro turned around to greet them, holding Brooklyn tightly. "Who is that?" Judy inquired, "does Brooklyn have a younger brother?" "This is Brooklyn," Hiro stated, quite calmly as he strode forward and closed the door behind them. "That can't be Brooklyn," she snapped, "he is what - sixteen? That child is no more than three or four at the most."
"I am twree," Brooklyn stated, holding up the proper number of fingers, "Hero, who are they?" It seemed that Brooklyn got along better with adults than he did with children as the adults paled and sweatdropped. "He is not the only one who was affected," Hiro stated, "fourteen of our bladers are now chibis." "Teen-agers don't turn into children for no reason," Judy argued, "how did it happen?" "No idea," Hiro replied, "Brooklyn was normal when we went to bed. When I woke up, he was sitting on my chest and that's not the worse of it."
At that moment, Daichi came running into the lounge with two of the other chibis hot on his heels. The other three adults sweatdropped as they recoginized Kai and Tala. "Get them away from me!" he shrieked, jumping behind the chairman for protection, "they are demons I tell you!" "Kai," Mr. Dickerson admonished as the dual haired stopped to face the elderly chairman. Mr. Dickerson had a past with the Hiwatari family and Kai probably recoginized him.
"Mr. D," he called as he ran to the chairman and grabbed him around the knees, "it's nice to swee you. Did you bwing me anything? A bwade perhaps or some candy?" "Who else?" Judy ask, "I see Brooklyn, Tala and Kai were affected." "You are about to get your answer," Hiro stated as the others started to wander in, "here is Rei, Kevin, Miguel, Mystel, Oliver, Enrique and Garland." "Romero!" came a shout as the twins appeared and tackled the older man around the knees; almost sending him to the floor.
"This can't be happening," Romero bellowed, "do you have any idea of what it is like to take care of twins?" "Hero," Tyson cried as he glomped his legs, "Max swares me." At that moment, Max came running into the room but ignored Tyson when he saw Judy. "Mommy," he cried, running to her as she looked on the verge of fainting. The chibis were all looking strangely at the three adults as Judy lifted Max into her arms.
"I guess it is a good thing that the tournament is over," Mr. Dickerson stated as he nervously wiped his forehead with a handkerchief. "What did this?" Judy questioned as Max hugged her tightly. "What are we going to do?" Romero ask as he whined. "All I know is that we can't look after all of them," Hiro remarked,stating the obvious, "they won't listen to us." "Could it have been something they ate or drank?" Mr. Dickerson ask as he looked at Judy.
She shrugged as Max babbled on about missing her non-stop. The others were oddly quiet while Tyson was pulling on his pajama bottoms and begging for attention. "I'll take the girls and buy them some clothes," Judy remarked, "we don't know how long they are going to be this way and they need something to wear. Do you big strong men think you can handle them for a little while? I would take Max but he has nothing to wear. I promise that we won't take long."
"I believe we can handle it," Mr. Dickerson informed, handing her a credit card, "here get whatever you need out of this." Hillary reappeared at that moment and left with Judy as they went to get Mariah and Emily. "Why don't the rest of you return to watching television?" Hiroshi suggested but they just stood there and stared at him like he had two heads. He sighed. This was indeed going to be a very long day.
He settled back on the couch with Brooklyn and Tyson who was now babbling non-stop. Romero seemed to have the same problem with the twins as he sat down in an armchair and they climbed into his lap. "What happened to the television?" Mr. Dickerson inquired as he sat down in the other vacant armchair. Kai climbed into his lap first and stretched out so Tala could not follow. He blew a raspberry to Tala, who scowled. "A certain chibi and a beyblade," he replied over Tyson's babbling, "Tyson, will you please shut up? Have you even taken a breathe since you sat down?"
Tyson whimpered and went quiet. Hiro felt guilty but he had a major headache forming and couldn't handle the noise. Miguel and Garland were near Kenny and looking as typed away on his computer while the others had returned to watch television. They seemed fascinated by Dizzy, who was talking to them. Max had started crying when Judy had left but Daichi was showing him his Gaia Dragoon beyblade to keep him quiet.
Hiro heard what sounded like the Teletubbies on in the bedroom and wondered what Brooklyn thought about that particular show. They didn't need another damaged TV to pay for as he kept him occupied. Their solitude was only interrupted by room service, who arrived with two carts of food. Hiroshi gladly paid for it as they looked at what the tray had to offer. The others were wanting something totally unhealthy like sugary cereal or donuts but they didn't want hyper chibis.
Getting the fourteen fed plus themselves turned into quite a chore for the three men and two teens. Kai and Tala almost started a food fight w/h their yucky cereal as they put it if Rei hadn't warned Hiro and Mr. Dickerson, who put a stop to it before it could even start. Kai gave Rei one of the nastiest glares he could muster at his current age but it only made him cuter instead of threatening. It seemed that little Rei was a tattletale from the smirk he had sent in Kai's direction. The other unaffected bladers still hadn't returned as Hiroshi made a mental note to do something totally nasty to them later.
Afterwards, Kai and Tala were actually behaving themselves as Hiro raised an eyebrow in their direction. He knew that the two were plotting something even if he didn't know what it was. Raul and Julia were sitting off to themselves like the two chibified Russians. They were use to only having each other for company at their current ages. They often would look at Romero, who would just smile in their direction. He seemed to be lost in a memory from the past when he looked at the twins.
The other chibis didn't seem like the type to make mischief but you could never be sure. Mystel was sitting awfully close to Rei and talking animately to his new best friend it seemed. Kevin and Oliver were sitting together as well and looking at a magazine together. Max was making Tyson nervous with his hyperness but he was getting use to him. Miguel, Enrique and Garland seemed to be hitting it off since they seemed to be a lot alike at that age. Brooklyn prefered his company and refused to sit with the others.
Hiro remembered what the ginger-haired boy had told him about his childhood and understood his behavior. He had been an only child and a prodigy so it made him different than the average child his age. After a while, most of them returned to the bedroom to watch television since it was boring sitting around with the 'old people' as Kevin had put it. Some of the other bladers started to wander in at that time to get some free breakfast. Max seemed to be fascinated by Rick and he seemed to still like Max.
Bryan and Spencer were surprised to see Kai and Tala behaving themselves. The twins had crawled back into Romero's lap and had fallen asleep while Brooklyn was dozing against him with Tyson curled up on his other side. They were all sitting in silence when the women returned with several bags of clothing. "I expected the suite to be declared a disaster area when I returned," Judy smirked, "I'm glad that you were able to handle the situation on your own."
She thrust several bags at some of them and handed one to Hiro. "These are for Tyson and Brooklyn," she stated with a wink, "I figured that you would be the one taking care of the two of them." "Well, you guessed right," Hiro replied with a sigh, "I'll take them back to my room since I need to change. Tyson, wake up!" Tyson stirred as he rose, clutching a sleeping Brooklyn with one hand and the bag with the other.
Tyson followed behind him as they went back to the BEGA suite. Fortunately, Hiro had remembered to grab his keycard before he had went out as he slid it through and entered. He vowed revenge against Ming Ming for her handling of the situation but knew that Crusher had planned to visit his sister the night before. He herded the sleepy Tyson to his room that was littered with his and Brooklyn's clothing. He hoped that they didn't stay this way for long. He didn't know how long he could survive without his boyfriend.
Brooklyn woke up as Tyson crawled onto the bed and Hiro set Brooklyn down beside of him. He opened the bag and decided to dress them first. He smiled at the clothing and was grateful that the women had went shopping since they had much better taste. They each had a set of clothing plus a pair of underwear. Hiro dreaded the thought of having to take them shopping later. He may have been gay but he couldn't stand the activity. Since Tyson was more awake, he dressed him first.
Hillary had obviously chosen the outfit since it was blue jeans with a yellow t-shirt with Big Bird across the front and a red shirt that went over it. The red trainers fit as well as the socks. "I wike," Tyson said with a yawn as he curled up on the bed and went to sleep. Brooklyn came next as he jumped up in excitement to see what he was going to wear. He fell and nearly bounced off the bed if Hiro had caught him. His heart was racing as he held the chibi tightly and instructed him to be more careful.
He dressed him after he had finally calmed down and wondered who had chosen his outfit. It was white shorts with a sailor top that was trimmed in blue. His shoes and socks fit as well but they were brown leather shoes that buckled. If possible, Brooklyn looked even cuter since his hoop earring was still in his left ear. He curled up beside of Tyson and went back to sleep. Hiro was glad that chore was done and decided to shower since he needed to take care of a pressing problem in his lower regions.
He locked the door to his room but left the bathroom door open in case they woke up. He stripped and then got into the shower. The hot water soothed his aching muscles and he was as quiet as possible taking care of his other problem since he didn't want to disturb the two sleeping toddlers. He came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He dug through his clean clothes and found a pair of blue jeans and a red shirt. There was no way that he was going to dress in the slacks and top he had worn before.
Other people would probably think that the two were his children instead of his little brother and boyfriend. He briefly wondered how the others were handling their own chibi problems. He left them to sleep since he had to pack their clothes and was glad that they had some time off from school for vacation since it would be impossible to explain this. Showing Grandpa Ryu was going to be interesting enough. He wondered how his grandfather was going to react to this situation.
He double checked the room to make sure that he gotten everything. He didn't want to leave anything behind. He put the suitcases out in the hallway as he grabbed Tyson and Brooklyn off the bed. Tyson woke up and was rubbing his eyes sleepily. He was heavier than Brooklyn as Hiro put him down so he could walk. Brooklyn was dozing on his shoulder. He took Tyson's hand and went back to his suite to gather his things.
Things were a bit chaotic in BBA Revolution's suite and Hiroshi was glad that he was only responsible for Tyson and Brooklyn. If he had to deal with Kai and Tala, they wouldn't have been able to sit down for a month. They were chasing each other and you couldn't hear Mr. Dickerson's protests over their screams. Hillary was chasing after them but most of the others had left. It didn't help that both Tyson and Brooklyn started to cry since they were cranky when they woke up.
Hiroshi thrust Brooklyn and Tyson to Hillary as he went after the two devils. "STOP THIS NONSENSE RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!" he bellowed, almost bursting a blood vessel. The two chibis froze in place. No one had yelled at them like that before and they looked uncertain at Hiroshi. He was tall, intimidating and radiating fury. He was glaring at the two in a way that meant business as Kenny came out of the closet that he had shut himself in for safety.
"Now that is better," Hiroshi added in a calmer voice as Tyson waddled over to the couch to finish his nap. Brooklyn had also stopped crying and held his arms out for him as he fought Hillary. "Hero," he was whimpering as he sighed and took the chibi back. This kid was all ready spoiled and it was his fault. "I want the two of you to sit down and shut up," he said, simply, "If not, I will spank you and you won't be able to sit for a month when I am through."
His glare convinced Kai and Tala to sit down and be quiet. It gave Hiroshi the opportunity to look at their clothing. Kai was wearing navy blue cargo pants with a red shirt and trainers. He didn't notice before but the shark fins were still on his face, signifying that they were not face paint as he had thought. Tala was wearing blue pants with a white shirt. His trainers were blue and gold.
"How did you know what size to get?" Hiro ask Hillary, who dazzled him with an all-knowing smile. "Dr. Judy handled the shoes," she informed, "she just knew for some odd reason. It was quite uncanny." She shrugged as the two chibis decided that a nap might be in order and joined Tyson on the couch. A few minutes later, there were the sound of three soft snores as Kenny took a picture of the three curled around each other to use for blackmail later.
It gave Hiro the time to speak with Mr. Dickerson, who looked relieved that it was quiet. "Where are the other brats?" Hiro inquired as he sat down with Brooklyn on his lap. "The other teams decided to take care of them," he informed with a sigh of relief, "the All-Starz took Max and Garland. The White Tigers took Rei and Kevin while the Barthez Battalion took Miguel and Mystel. Poor Romero had the twins to deal with by himself and he wasn't at all happy. Then Robert and Johnny took Oliver and Enrique." The older man chuckled as did Hiro from that image.
"Tyson and Brooklyn were very well behaved," Hiro complimented but then looked toward the two Russians, "but those two are demon spawn. Who is going to take care of them until they return to normal?" "I will manage the two of them in some manner," Mr. Dickerson informed with a smile, "I owe it to Kai's parents to look after their son. I was very close to them. The problem is the other teams will have to stay in Japan until we can sort this matter out. I do believe that some of the bladers will want to return home however."
"I am guessing that Ming Ming will be one of them," Hiroshi growled as Brooklyn was tugging on his shirt. "Hero," he was softly saying. "What is it, Brooklyn?" Hiro ask, turning his attention to the chibi on his lap. "I gots to go potty," the child said. "The bathroom is right there," Hiro said as he pointed to the door.
"But I need help," the chibi protested, "there might be a monster in the potty." Hiro sighed as he rose with Brooklyn and took him to the bathroom. He helped him with his shorts and undergarments and was glad that he sat down on the toliet instead of standing up after reassuring the chibi that no monster was lurking beneath the water. When he was finished, he had to clean him up and make sure that he washed his hands properly. Brooklyn ran out of the bathroom in front of him and to Mr. Dickerson, who gladly pulled the chibi into his lap.
He chuckled as Brooklyn pulled on his moustache, asking if it was real. "I see that this one is all ready spoiled," he noted, "but you are good for him, Hiro. Some may look down upon your relationship but love is love. As long as you have no intentions of hurting him, you should be all right." "Well, I can't do any of that now," he protested, "I wanted to take care of him but not when he was a toddler."
"I think you might learn something important about his character at this age," Mr. Dickerson advised with a smile, "I have all ready learned a few things about Kai that I was unaware of before." "Well, nothing about Tyson should surprise me," Hiro noted, "I was still living at home when he was originally that age. Brooklyn doesn't like to talk about his childhood but that is a thought. Maybe I can give him a better one until they return to their normal ages. It would work if the others aren't mean to him but he has all ready gotten on their bad sides especially Kai's when he destroyed the TV."
Mr. Dickerson looked at the TV and then at Brooklyn. "Why am I not surprised that he is the one responsible," Mr. Dickerson remarked with a good natured chuckle. There was a knock at the door as Judy returned with the rest of the All-Starz plus Max and Garland. Max was napping against Judy but Garland was still wide awake. He saw Brooklyn but didn't make an attempt to come to them.
They had dressed him in red shorts with a white shirt and was wearing a red jacket over it. He had on red trainers as well. His shorter hair was pulled back into his trademark ponytail. He couldn't tell much about Max at the moment since he was sleeping but Judy seemed to have chosen blue overalls with a red shirt for him. At least it wasn't the colours orange or green.
Judy put Max on the couch with the other three and sat down in a vacant armchair. Daichi offered to play a video game with Garland as they disappeared into the bedroom. "I forgot how demanding a child could be," Judy remarked with a tired sigh, "I think I am too old for this." "I am guessing that Max was hyper as a child," Mr. Dickerson added as Brooklyn's attention turned to the woman. "Yes, he was," she sighed, "Garland behaved himself and is more reserved than Max ever will be."
"Well at least he is not as bad as Kai and Tala," Hiroshi mused, "those two are nearly impossible." Brooklyn had climbed down from Stanley's lap and walked over to Judy. He was looking at her intently with his small hands on her knees. That surprised her as she looked down at him. "I knew that outfit would be perfect for him," she stated with a smile, "hello, Brooklyn, I'm Judy, Max's mom."
"Hi," he replied with a shy smile. He held out his arms as she picked him up and settled him in her lap. He giggled as he cuddled against her chest, put a thumb in his mouth and fell asleep. "This one is too sweet," she remarked with a smile as he napped and she was running her fingers through his soft hair, "Hiro, why did you get the best behaved out of all of them?" "Just lucky I guess," he replied with a shrug, "but Tyson behaved himself as well."
"Do you want to trade?" she ask, "I'll gladly give you Max for Brooklyn." "I don't think so," Hiroshi added with a laugh since he knew she was joking. Brooklyn cuddled into Judy even more if possible as the woman laughed quietly and continued to stroke his hair. When he started to fidget from the nightmares that had plagued him since the Justice Five tournament, she rocked him gently and sung a lullaby in a soft voice that comforted him easily. His shivering would stop and a content sigh would escape his lips.
At that moment, Romero returned with the twins, who were about as sleepy as the others. Julia was dressed in a purple overalls with a green shirt that matched the color of her eyes as Raul was dressed the opposite in green overalls with a purple shirt. He yawned cutely and rubbed his eyes with his little fists. The two saw an empty spot beside of Max, crawled onto the couch and promptly fell asleep entangled with their other half. "Thank the gods," Romero muttered with a contented sigh, "those two are cranky without a nap. So what do we do about this? Does anyone ideas?"
"We need to figure out what made them change," Judy said, softly as the door opened to reveal Mathilda coming in, pulling Miguel along while carrying a sleepy Mystel in her other arm. Miguel was attired in khaki shorts and a white shirt with hiking boots. He looked as cute as the others. Mystel was wearing dark navy pants with a white chinese style shirt that was accented in red. He had black slip on shoes.
Miguel didn't look sleepy and when he heard Daichi's victory yell from the bedroom, he went to investigate. "Hero," Mystel cried as he wrenched out of Mathilda's grip and ran to his coach. "What is it, buddy?" he inquired as the tot jumped into his lap; proving that his leaping ability was natural and he had learned it at a young age, "can I sit with you?" Since Tyson was asleep and Brooklyn was with Judy, Hiro thought why not and allowed the child to stay. He too fell asleep as the last of the brat pack entered with Mariah, Lei, Johnny and Robert.
Oliver was dressed in an outfit similar to Brooklyn's except that his was red and he had his beret on his head. It seemed that someone had pinned it to make it fit. Hiro bet that it had been the work of Robert's butler, Gustaf, who went everywhere with him. Enrique was attired in blue pants with a white shirt. He was wearing loafers like Oliver.
Rei was dressed in dark blue pants and a white chinese style shirt that was trimmed in blue. His trademark bandanna was smaller but still wrapped around his shorter hair. He like Mystel had black slip on shoes. Kevin's attire made Hiro do a double take. He expected the child to be dressed like Rei but he was attired in blue overalls with a white shirt and trainers. The four of them didn't seem sleepy as they joined Daichi, Miguel and Garland to play video games.
The adults seemed deep in thought as the teens settled around them on the floor. Hiroshi was considering something that he had thought nothing of before. "Did any of the others complain of a headache before they had went to bed?" he ask with interest. "Now, that you mention it," Hillary remarked, "Tyson did complain about his head hurting last night. We just gave him some aspirin and he went to sleep."
"Rei was rubbing his eyes," Mariah stated, "like something was bothering him but he hates to complain. He prefers to remain quiet like Lei. Kevin was all ready asleep by that time." "Miguel said that he felt a little dizzy," Mathilda added, "and his face was flushed." "Max was complaining of dizziness as well," Judy thought, "do you think it has something to do with their current states?"
"Brooklyn was complaining of a headache before he retired," Hiroshi informed, "he was a bit ill-tempered as well but maybe that wasn't his temper but his attitude changing. I did remark that he was acting a bit childish about the whole argument. He did act like a three-year-old by the way he whined, then whimpered and walked off. He was curled up in the bed when I went into our room. When I touched him, he pulled away from me."
"The question is why they were affected and we were not," Kenny remarked from the table where he was typing away on Dizzy, "but more importantly how was it done?" "Kenny does have a point," Hillary added, "how can teens turn into chibis? It is scientifically impossible." "It may be impossible but it was done," Judy reminded, "the problem is what do we do about it?" "Research," Mr. Dickerson suggested, "is all we can do but we can't involve anyone else in this matter. It is going to have to stay between ourselves and a few others."
"Bit beasts have the power to turn their bladers into chibis," Dizzy informed as they all turned to the computer, "but it would take a lot of power and influence to make them do it." "Why would any of them agree to turn their avatars into chibis?" Hiroshi ask the trapped bit beast, "they are defenseless at their current ages and if someone wanted to steal them, they would not have a problem." "Not necessarily," Dizzy added, "you saw that Brooklyn didn't have a problem launching Zeus. He still has his skill and ability at his smaller size if not the power to back it."
"Dizzy, is there anyway of talking to the other bit beasts to find out if this is true?" Kenny ask as the computer cut him off. "I have all ready tried, chief," she replied with a sigh, "none of them are talking especially the four sacred beasts and Zeus is keeping the other bit beasts quiet. Well, Zeus has never liked me anyway." She rambled on for a few minutes about they crossing paths on occasion and how it never went well. From the way she described Zeus' personality, he seemed to have the same arrogance as the Greek god he represented.
When Dizzy started to talk about an incident between herself and Zeus daughter, Athena, Hiro had to cut the female gossip off. "Dizzy, if a bit beast turns their avatar into a child," he began, "does that make the change permenant or temporary?" "Depends upon the bit beast," Dizzy remarked, thoughtfully, "if they are really powerful, it could last weeks; months even but I would hazard a guess that their change is not permenant." "That is the best piece of news I have heard so far," Romero added with a smile, "if that is true the twins won't be chibis for long. I feel sorry for the rest of you however."
Hiro knew that he was referring to Tyson, Kai, Rei, Max, Brooklyn, Mystel and Garland since they possessed the more powerful bit beasts. Hiro did not like the sound of that since he knew the two that were his responsibility were the strongest out of all of them. Why had fate given him both a powerful little brother and boyfriend was beyond him. He didn't know if he could survive their chibification for that long. As he was about to discover, it was going to be quite the undertaking and he would soon have respect for parents everywhere including his own.
