The Gromble looked at the three now younger monsters in shock before glaring at them. "WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU THREE DO," he yelled making the three of them shake in fear.

"We…. We do…. Don't know wha… what happened," Ickis said in a squeaky voice as he hid behind Oblina and Krumm. The Gromble sighed before shaking his head hoping this was all a weird dream, but it wasn't the three of them really did become younger over night.

"Gromble sir…. Pwease stop looking at us that way…. Your…. Your scaring Ickis…. and Krumm," Oblina said sounding scared herself. The Gromble was about to yell again but stopped and sighed knowing yelling wont help anything.

"Ok… tell me what happened before I lose it," he said glaring at the three. "W…. We don't…don't know we…we went out scaring… they ran off then….then got this goo on us and…and we went home," Ickis said from his hiding spot.

"YOU THREE WENT OUT SCARING ON A NIGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TOO," the Gromble yelled but stopped himself. He would punish them later for not listening to him when he told them to stay in their rooms and study for a few nights to bring up their grades. Oblina didn't have to but she was told to make sure the other two studied.

"I…. I know, and….and now we see… why we should listen to you….we wouldn't hav…have gotten covered in goo…and wha…what ever we did to get smaller….I mean younger," Ickis said in fear.

"What…. What type of goo," The Gromble asked getting confused.

"There was this weird purple goo that got dumped on us after we scared those humans," Oblina said as she looked down at her feet.

"Hmm… do you have any left over I could look at," the Gromble asked as he eyed the three little Monsters. Ickis, Krumm and Oblina look at each other then shrugged a bit.

"No I don't think so… but maybe Krumm has some left over in his stomach I mean he did eat some of it after all," Ickis said as he pointed to Krumm.

"Yes maybe, but he could have… oh what's the word… oh yes digested it already," Oblina said looking a bit worried.

"Only one way to find out…. Come with me," Gromble said as he waved his hand to show them he wanted them to fallow.

"Ok, but what will," Ickis started but when he took a step he tripped on his ears and fell over making his two friends giggle a little. The Gromble sighed as he rolled his eyes while Ickis got up off the floor.

"Hey stop that… it's not my felt," Ickis said as he glared at his friends.

"Well if you kept them up you wouldn't have to trip on them," Oblina said as they fallowed the Gromble down the hallway.

"Well they are a bit umm…. heavy so it was easier for me to drag them when I was little," Ickis said as he rolled his eyes at her.

"Will you two SHUT UP we have work to do if we want to find out what made you all younger," the Gromble snapped at them. Ickis and Oblina jumped back but did as they where told as they fallowed him to the Monster Doctor's office.

"What are we doing here," Krumm asked as he looked up at the Gromble.

"You will see," the Gromble said as he opened the door to let them all into the room. As they walked into the room they saw the Monster Doctor putting some paper work that was covered in slim away before looking up at the four that walked into his office. The Monster Doctor was gray with one eye, but had two pupils in it, and the hair that stuck out on the side of his head was a bit of a darker gray color then his skin, and he had an old thrown away stethoscope around his neck.

"Why is there three monster that look like Krumm, Ickis and Oblina but younger doing here with the Gromble," he asked with out showing any emotion at all while saying it.

"That's what we came here for… We need something from Krumm's stomach," the Gromble said while pointing to him. Krumm made a bit of a worried look in his eyes as he looked at his friends who gave him the same look of worry.

"Alright come this way," the Monster Doctor said as he let the Gromble and Krumm into another room but stopped Ickis and Oblina from coming in.

"Oh no you two wait out here, and try not to get into anything," he said before closing the door in their faces.

"Now what do we do," Ickis asked as he looked at Oblina.

"Now we wait," she said while going over to an old broken chair and sitting down.

"Sounds fun," Ickis sarcastically said before sitting on the ground next to her.

-Break line—

After an hour of waiting and doing nothing but hoping, Krumm, Gromble and the Monster Doctor came out of the other room. Krumm had a dizzy look in his eyes as he walked over to his friends, and once they looked up at their friend they looked over to see a bucket in the Monster Doctor's hands.

"Did you find the purple goo," Ickis asked as Krumm sat on the ground while still looking dizzy.

"Well it will take me awhile to go threw this to find it… if its even in here so looks like you will have to do some more waiting while I do that real fast," the Monster Doctor said as he held up the bucket.

The Gromble tapped his foot as he watched the Monster Doctor go threw the bucket while Ickis and Oblina walked up to Krumm. "Are you alright Krummy," Oblina asked as she looked down at him.

"Yeah… I… I think so, but I could go for something to eat," Krumm said as he looked up at his two friends as he got up off the floor. "Ok then lets go eat then come back and see if the Monster Doctor found that goo," Ickis said as he was about to leave with his friends.

"YOU THREE AREN'T GOING ANY WHERE," the Gromble yelled making everyone even the Monster Doctor jump.

"But Gromble Sir… Krumm, Ickis and I haven't eaten all day and he just had his stomach emptied cant we go up to the dump and eat something real fast pwease," Oblina asked in her sweetest voice.

"You three aren't going up to the dump till we find out what is going on. So until then SIT YOUR BUTT'S DOWN," the Gromble said as he glared at the three of them. They shook a bit in fear before doing what they where told and sat on the ground.

"So did you find anything yet," the Gromble growled under his breath as he watched the Monster Doctor pull his head out of the bucket holding some sort of purple goo in his gloved hands.

"Yeah I think so… hey this the goo you where talking about," the Monster Doctor asked as he looked at the three younger Monsters. They all looked up at it before nodding their heads happy to see Krumm didn't digested it. "Alright then all that's left to do is study it and see what I can find… why don't you four go and I will call you back here once I found something," the Monster Doctor said before turning away from the four Monsters to study the goo.

"Ok… now can we go eat," Ickis asked as his friends and his own stomach growled loudly with hunger.

"Not yet we still need to talk about something… WHY WHERE YOU THREE OUT SCARING THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSE TO TILL TOMORROW NIGHT," the Gromble yelled out.

"Well… uhh Gromble sir… we where…well," Ickis started but stopped hiding his face with his ears. It was true they weren't aloud to go out scaring the other night because the Gromble wanted everyone to study for a few nights before going out scaring again so they where ready for their test, but someone talked them into it.

"You see Gromble we where talked into it. He said that we weren't able to handle a scare and be able to keep up our grades and in the end we fell for it," Oblina said looking down at her feet. "Who talked you into it," the Gromble snapped at them.

"Z… Zimbo," the three monsters said at the same time in fear. Zimbo… I think he loves getting other Monsters in trouble just to see what happens to them some times, but the Gromble was also mad at the other three for letting him trick them so easily like that.

"I will have to deal with him later, but for now you three are going back to your rooms," The Gromble said as he walked to the door.

"But… but what about class," Oblina asked as she looked up at their teacher. "But what about lunch," Krumm asked as he got up off the ground.

"NO BUTT'S until we find out what is going on you three are to stay in your room" The Gromble yelled as he glared at them.

"What about getting something to eat, or go to class or even scaring," Ickis asked in shock.

"Not until you all are back to your real ages none of you are going scaring YOU GOT THAT," the Gromble snapped at them.

"What? But we are Monsters we where born to scare," Oblina said as she looked up in shock.

"Well Oblina we have no idea what this change will do to you and your two friends here so no more scaring until we find out more about this goo. Now MOVE YOUR LITTLE BUTT'S BACK TO YOUR ROOM," The Gromble yelled and with out another word the three monsters ran out of the room and back into the safety of their dorm room.
