Last Time
Lexi blushed as she smiled. Atticus took out some sort of concoction that he hoped would turn her to normal again.
Chazz bit his lip and squeezed his eyes shut. He did not want to see this.
Atticus put a drop or 2 on her arm but nothing happened to her.
Chazz cracked one eye open. When he saw nothing happened, he hit Atticus over the head. "What'd you do that for? What if that hurts her? What if it's poison? Atty, you didn't make that yourself did you? Please tell me Bastion helped..."
"He did but for some reason it didn't-" Atty got cut off by someone squealing in shock. -"Work?" Atty finished puzzled.
"What's wrong now?"
"That wasn't me." He said.
"Then...who was it?" Chazz's eyes darted nervously around the room.
"Oh, well, in that case, he's probably just afraid of the storm, too." Chazz muttered, waving it off.
"No chazzy I think Sy's in trouble." Lexi said.
"Ok, well, why are we standing here? Let's go!" Chazz seized Alexis and ran out the door.
End Flashback
There was a whimper from behind them. Chazz peered behind them and gasped. There, standing and looking bashful and frightened, was an even more miniature version of Syrus. He looked up at Chazz with big, shiny blue-gray eyes.
Chazz grimaced. "Yikes. This isn't good. What the hell did you do, Atty?"
"I don't know maybe Bastion screwed it up." Sy looked at Lex and smiled at her.
Chazz bristled. "Damn English people..." to himself, he thought, "Don't get any ideas, Sy, Lexi is mine!" He scolded.
"What do you mean Chazz?" He asked his voice more innocent than ever."
Chazz tried really hard not to scowl. It came anyway. "What's your problem? Why are you looking at her like that?" He managed to keep some resentment out of his statement. Taking a deep breath, he reminded himself that Sy was only 7. There was no way he realized what he was getting into messing with the Chazz's girl.
Sy giggled as he felt Lexi hold his hand gently.
Chazz bit his lip for the fiftieth time that day it seemed. He was so afraid to lose Alexis. He knew this could be nothing...or it could be everything. He held his tongue for the time being and just watched.
Lexi played with Sy's fluffy blue hair. It was still spiked like before.
Chazz wished that Lex was playing with his spiky hair instead. He wondered if maybe he should ask Atty to turn him chibi too. Then again, knowing Atty, he'd probably mess it up and make Chazz an 80 year old man. Chazz shuddered and tugged at one of his raven spikes. He liked his hair too much to be that old.
Lexi looked up at Chazz like he wanted something.
"What?"
"Did you want something Chazzy?"
He blushed. "Maybe. It's just...I feel awkward with you doing that. I mean, aren't we a couple? That's why it bothers me. I wish you'd play with my hair instead." As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt stupid. He mentally slapped himself. What a thing to say! Thank God she was only 7!
Lexi blushed madly. Had she been her normal self she would have probably gently slapped him. Not so much that it would hurt him though.
Chazz smirked down at her. "Well? Do ya wanna? Or not?"
"Do i want to do what Chazzy?"
"Play with my hair..." He blushed as he looked down at her, "of course, you don't have to if you don't want to."
"I think you want something else." She said with a gentle smirk.
He blushed redder and could not contain the smirk that escaped. "Well, maybe...what do you think that is?"
"You want to become like me and Sy. Isn't that right Chazzy?"
"Uhhhhhh..."he scowled, "What gave you that idea?" He couldn't believe she had figured it out. Now she was going to tease him.
"Cuz you said don't get any ideas to Sy." She said with an innocent yet playful giggle.
Chazz glowered. "Yeah, well, that could mean a lot of things. It doesn't necessarily mean..." he cut himself off before he made a fool of himself. He had to admit that he felt weird being non-chibi next to them. He felt...old.
"Well Chazzy baby?"
"Well, what?" he blushed at the pet name, "Are you asking me if you're right?"
"Yep."
"Well, what makes you think that I'm gonna disgrace myself by saying..." he stopped, realizing he'd given himself away. Finally, he relented. "All right, all right, yes, I wanna be like you guys. I feel so...old." He grimaced.
Lexi giggled. "Well why didn't ya just say so?"
"Because...I wasn't sure what you would think..."
"Well are ya sure you wanna be like us?"
"No...I don't know. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you if you need me."
"Of course ya will."
"Well, as long as it can be reversed, cuz I don't wanna be like that forever. But I do want to be closer to you."
"Alright." Lexi took the concoction from Atty and poured a drop on him. However the concoction was designed to make people chibis rather than reverse it it seemed.
Chazz squeezed his eyes shut. He really was afraid of what it'd do to him. And there was no guarantee that he'd be normal ever again. However, it was a risk he was willing to take to be with Lexi.
Lexi smiled as Chazz gradually grew a little shorter. His hair was stilll spikey but it was a tad smaller than before.
Chazz opened one of his eyes and looked at Lexi. She was now much closer to his height. He reached out and hugged her far more easily.
Lexi giggled and pulled out a small mirror for him to look at himself.
He almost screamed. It was so hard for him to accept this. He only looked back at her sullenly. "I hope you're happy."
"Chazzy baby what's wrong?"
"Nothing," he quickly said, now feeling a bit more calm, "I was just shocked, I'm sorry." Blushing, he leaned down and kissed her lips.
Now both Chazz and Syrus are chibis. Next time Jasmine and Mindy will hatch a plan to capture Chibi Syrus. Will it work? You'll have to wait and see.
