Um…I'm not good with cuteness. Adult themed humor is more my specialty then cuteness…

This chapter was five pages long and a pargraph,I think it's one of the shorter ones.

Chapter Two: Three year old war

Leon sat watching the two small children that used to be his friends. They, in turn, watched him back. Leon looked from one to the other.

Riku was a little over knee high and didn't look that much different from his teenager self. He still had the same silver hair that swayed and bounced when he moved. His aquamarine eyes were larger and seemed full of childish innocence and mischief. His body was a little chubby with baby fat and he looked ridiculous in the oversized shirt his teenage self had been wearing.

Sora was much the same as Riku. He still looked like his older self with his chocolate brown hair sticking up everywhere. His eyes were larger then normal and wide as they looked at everything. His body was chubby with baby fat and, he too, looked funny in the oversized shirt of his teenage self. He was holding Riku's hand and sucking his thumb.

Leon was starting to wonder where Cloud was when the door banged open and Ansem stormed in, followed by a sheepish looking Cloud. The little teenagers turned toddlers looked at the man with fearful eyes and Sora went to hide behind Riku.

Ansem stared down at the scared children before rounding on Leon and Cloud.

"Explain," he hissed in a deadly voice.

"We were doing the experiment and Sora and Riku were helping us. We finished everything perfectly and when I went to pick it up I accidentally knocked over the chemicals and our experiment. It got on Sora and Riku and wouldn't come off when we tried to wash their hands. They then turned into children." It was the most anyone had ever Leon heard speak at one time and for a moment they were shocked.

Ansem shook his head. "Did your experiment do anything strange?"

"Ya, it poofed when we added the last thing," Cloud sighed. "Sora said that theirs hadn't done that."

"No, it's not supposed to," Ansem walked over to their station and started looking at it. He hmm-ed and frowned before finally standing up.

"You made a de-aging potion," he declared. "I don't know how, but you did."

"Is there a way to fix it?" Cloud asked.

"No, simply because no one's ever made a successful one before," Ansem grumbled.

"So they're stuck like this?" Cloud exclaimed.

"Maybe," Ansem frowned. "They'll still age at the normal rate all kids do."

"Oh great," Cloud muttered sarcastically. "So we just have to wait fifteen years for them to be back to normal?"

"Either that, or until the potion wears off," Ansem shrugged. "I'll try to find an antidote but until then you two have to take care of them."

"What?" Leon demanded.

"You two did this, so you two fix it," Ansem growled in a voice that left no room for argument. "You're just lucky it's spring vacation. Now I will do what I can, until then, keep on eye on your friends." He swept out of the room and Cloud and Leon sighed. They looked down at Sora and Riku, who had found teenage Sora's necklace, and were playing with it in fascination.

"I don't know how take care of a child," Leon admitted and stood up. "You do it."

"Oh no," Cloud grabbed him before he could leave. "I am not taking care of two toddlers. You take Sora, and I'll take Riku."

"No way," Leon frowned. "You take Sora and I'll take Riku."

"No, I'll take Riku," Cloud demanded. "And you take Sora."

Meanwhile, Sora and Riku had stopped playing with the necklace and were watching the two argue about who got Riku and who got Sora. Little Sora's eyes filled with tears because to him, it sounded as though neither wanted to take care of him and both wanted Riku. Little Riku saw his friend's sad eyes and took his hand.

"Shh," Riku whispered. "Don't worry, Sor-Sor, we gonna stay together, ok?"

"But they saying that we not," Sora sniffed.

"Don't matter what grown up people say," Riku nodded firmly. "Either we stay together or I'll scream and scream until they let us."

Sora smiled brightly at his friend and stopped crying. "K," he smiled shyly.

"All right," Riku nodded. "Now let's tell them that."

He pointed at Cloud and Leon who had stopped arguing. Leon reached down and picked up Sora into his arms and Cloud picked up Riku. Sora sat still while Riku squirmed. When Sora saw that Riku was squirming around, he started to as well.

"Stop," Leon ordered. Sora just looked at him for a moment before starting to wiggle around again. Leon grumbled at him and started to walk away.

Riku noticed the other man walking away with Sora and started screaming. He thrashed around in Cloud's arms, yelling and kicking. Cloud tried to hold him still and flinched at the loud noise.

"Will you stop that?" Cloud demanded. "What the hell are you screaming about?"

Riku's eyes widen. "Bad word! Bad word!" He pinched Cloud soundly on the arm and, surprisingly, it hurt. "Don't say bad word!"

"All right, fine," Cloud snapped. "Now why are you screaming?"

"Sora," Riku pointed at Sora and Leon who had stopped once Riku had started screaming. "Want Sora."

"Sora's going to go home with Leon," Cloud explained. "You'll see him later."

"NO!" Riku started screaming and kicking again. "WANT SORA WANT SORA!"

"WANT RIKU!" Sora started yelling as well. "RIKU RIKU RIKU!"

"All right fine!" Cloud shouted and walked Riku over to Sora and Leon. "There, see, there's Sora."

Still sitting in Cloud's arms, Riku reached over grabbed his friend. "My Sora," he glared/pouted at Cloud and Leon. "I stay with Sora."

Sora hugged Riku back. "I stay with Riku."

"No, Sora goes with Leon and Riku comes with me," Cloud said firmly. On cue, both boys started screaming again and the teens had a sudden urge to hit them both. Luckily, they didn't.

"This isn't going to work," Cloud called over their screams. "If we separate them they'll just keep screaming."

"What are we supposed to do?" Leon asked. "My parents are never going to believe this."

"Maybe we could go to Sora's house?" Cloud suggested. "He said that Riku was staying with him and that his parent's are out of town. We can call our families and tell them that we're staying over there."

Leon shrugged. "I guess that'll work. Do you know where Sora lives?"

Cloud blinked then shrugged. "Nope, not a clue."

"1212 Key Lane," Sora's little voice spoke up. The two looked down at him.

"What?"

"1212 Key Lane," Sora repeated. "Momma says if I ever get losted I'm suppose know where I live." He looked very proud of himself.

"Yup," Riku added. "And I live on 1213 Key Lane." He too, looked very proud of knowing his address.

Cloud and Leon looked at each other and shrugged. "Let's just hope they haven't moved," Cloud muttered. "How old are you kids, anyways?"

"Four, Sora's three," Riku answered. "How old are you?"

"Seventeen," Leon stated. Sora's eyes widened.

"Wow, you're old," he said in awe. Leon grumbled to himself, he wasn't that old. Although, to a three year old, he probably was.

"Whatever, let's go," Leon sighed. "So much for a peaceful vacation."

"Got that right," Cloud muttered.


The walk to Sora's house wasn't a long one since Key Lane was close to their school. Riku had demanded that he could walk on his own and jumped down from Cloud's arms. Sora immediately copied Riku's actions and walked next to him proudly.

The little boys were surprisingly well behaved as they walked. Sora kept trying to imitate Riku and Riku just smirked in a very cute way at his antics. Cloud and Leon walked after them in an awkward silence, not really knowing what to say or do. Neither had any idea about how to handle the situation and were very glad that the toddlers were being so well behaved.

When they arrived at Sora's house, Sora tried to reach the doorknob and failed miserably. Since Riku was taller then him, he reached up and turned the handle. The door swung open, taking Riku with it. Sora giggled as Riku calmly let go and landed on his feet. Leon and Cloud were amazed at the two's majority levels.

"Momma? Papa?" Sora yelled. "Sora and Riku's home! Momma?"

When he received no answer, Sora looked back at Riku, confused. Riku shrugged at looked at Cloud and Leon.

"Where's Momma and Papa?" Riku asked.

"Um…they're on vacation," Cloud said hesitantly. Did little kids know what vacations were?

"Again?" Sora sniffed.

"It's ok, Sor-Sor," Riku patted his head. "We'll go to Mommy and Daddy's then." He took Sora's hand and started to leave but Cloud and Leon stopped them.

"Wait a second," Cloud kneeled down. "Where are you two going?"

"To mommy and daddy's," Riku answered in a "duh" voice. "When mamma and papa leave then we go to mommy and daddy's."

"Yup and when daddy and mommy leave we come back to momma and papa's," Sora added.

"Wait, I'm confused," Cloud frowned. "Who's momma and papa and daddy and what-not?"

The boys looked at him confused. "Momma and Papa is Sora's parents and Mommy and Daddy are mine," Riku explained as if he was the adult and Cloud was the child.

"I'm starting to think that their parent's are very irresponsible," Leon muttered.

"I agree," Cloud turned back to the kids. "Riku's parents are gone as well. Leon and I will be taking care of you, ok?"

"No," Riku scowled at him adorably. "You tried to take Sora away from me. I don't like you."

"Ya," Sora agreed. "I don't like you." The older teens exchanged looks and Cloud was trying to figure out something to say when Leon kneeled down and looked Riku right in the eye.

"Deal with it," he snapped and stood up. Riku looked at him shocked and Sora mimicked his face.

"This means war," Riku pouted and Sora stood at "attention" awaiting Riku's "commands." Cloud found it pretty cute, until what happened next.

"Attack Sora!" Riku yelled. The little boy yelled and started running around the house, knocking everything over in his way. Wherever Sora ran, he left a path of destruction behind him.

"Hey stop!" Cloud commanded, but Sora didn't even glance at him. "Don't destroy the house!" He hurriedly chased after the yelling three year old and tried to stop him from destroying the house.

"…" Leon looked down at Riku who had his arms crossed and was looking triumphant.

"War, huh? You don't even know what that is," Leon frowned and the four year old frowned right back. "All right, state your terms."

Leon couldn't believe he was making a deal with a child. Even if the child was Riku in chibi form, it was still very strange and oddly degrading.

"Sora and I stay together," Riku stated.

"Fine, but only if you behave," Leon countered, trying to regain some dignity. "You two keep acting like this and we'll separate you until your parents get back."

Riku's eyes widen and he quickly nodded his small head. "K, we be good, you don't take Sora away."

"Deal," they actually shook on it. Leon was amazed once again by Riku's maturity.

"All right, Sora!" Riku called. "Stand down!"

Sora stopped mid yell and mid step. He was on the couch and throwing pillows around and Cloud was trying to get him without being hit by a pillow. Sora jumped off the couch and started to pick everything up that he'd messed up, putting it back in its proper place before running back to Riku's side.

"Ri-Ri," Sora tugged on his sleeve. "I'm hungry."

"Ok, let's get food," Riku shrugged and walked into the kitchen, Sora following close behind. Cloud and Leon exchanged looks and followed after the little kids.

They teens watched as the young boys seemed to know exactly what they were doing. They each grabbed a table chair and pushed it to the counter. After positioning it so that the chair back was facing away from the counter, Riku climbed up on it. Sora struggled a little but eventually made it as well. Cloud was absolutely stunned that they didn't trip over their long shirts since they still had their teenage selves' clothes on.

Riku then climbed onto the counter and Cloud was about to go stop him but Leon held him back.

"This is interesting, let's see what they're up to," he suggested quietly.

"And if they fall and break their necks?" Cloud demanded.

"I don't think they will."

Cloud rolled his eyes. Leon didn't think the little boys would hurt themselves, right, now everything was absolutely fine.

Riku walked carefully on the counter and started opening cupboards. He finally found the one with cereal and pulled it down. He walked over to Sora and handed him the box. Sora sat on the chair then leaned down and put it on the floor. Riku then went over to a different cupboard and got two plastic bowls, which he handed to Sora. Sora placed the bowls on the chair then carefully climbed down and grabbed the bowls.

Riku climbed off the counter, onto the chair, then onto the floor. Sora sat the bowls by the cereal and helped Riku push the chair to a different part of the kitchen. Riku then got on the chair again and opened the silverware drawer, pulling out two spoons. He handed them to Sora, who ran them over to the cereal and bowls, then climbed down. Sora and Riku pushed the chair back to the table together and Sora climbed up on it.

Riku grabbed the cereal and handed it Sora who placed it before him on the table. They did the same with the bowls and spoons. Once everything was on the table, Sora climbed onto the wooden surface and Riku soon followed.

The two sat crossed legged on table and Riku poured them each cereal. Seeing as how the cereal box was almost as big as him, it wasn't an easy task. Just as much cereal ended up on the floor as in the bowls. He put the box aside and grabbed for the milk, only to blink as he realized it wasn't there.

"We forgot milk," Sora pointed out.

Riku frowned and jumped off the table. Cloud nearly had a heart attack, thinking Riku was going to break something or twist his ankle, but the little boy wasn't even fazed by his jump. He walked over to fridge and grabbed a half gallon of milk that was on the bottom shelf. Dragging it back to the table, he handed it up to Sora and climbed back to his original position. He then grabbed the milk and poured it, making a complete mess, but still accomplishing his task. He handed Sora a spoon and took his own and the two boys ate their cereal in silence.

Cloud and Leon blinked in amazement. The two toddlers had this down to a science. They each knew exactly what to do without being told, and it was obvious from their practiced movements they'd done this many times before.

Riku and Sora finished eating fairly quickly and climbed down, passing their bowls and spoons to each other as they did. They pushed the chair over to the kitchen sink and Riku climbed up. Sora handed him their dishes and Riku put them in the sink.

He then climbed onto the counter again and grabbed the paper towels sitting there and tossed them to Sora who, surprisingly, managed to catch them. Sora waddled with the towels over to the table and started cleaning up the mess as Riku climbed down to help him. Soon, the entire mess was clean and Sora and Riku put the towels and milk back. The only evidence the kids left that they had eaten was the dirty bowls resting in the sink and their messy clothes and faces.

"Well, that was entertaining," Leon commented dryly.

"I can't believe a couple of toddlers did that," Cloud shook his head in wonder. "Sora, Riku, where did you learn do that?"

"Do wha?" Sora asked cutely.

"Get cereal like that," Cloud waved his hands.

Riku and Sora looked at each other and shrugged. "Momma and Mommy never have time in morning to get food for Ri-Ri or Sor-Sor and Papa and Daddy get up too late. So Ri-Ri figured out way to get food selves," Sora smiled as he explained everything happily.

"Oh ya," Leon sighed. "Definitely irresponsible parents."


A/N: Ya, ok, so I'm a day late, sue me. If you knew my schedule you'd understand. Everything's been mess up because of the MEAP testing we've been taking. Thank Goodness that ended today. Um…anyways…here's the second chapter. I'm not entirely sure if it's accurate to call Riku and Sora toddlers, but I'm going to anyways. Also, for anybody who wants to know, Forgetful Darkness will be updated either this weekend or this week. But ya, I guess that's all.

REVIEWS

Comment to Insert Bad Cliché Here: About Riku and Sora having a relationship, you're right. When they're kids they don't really have one, but when they become teens again then you'll see their relationship in full.

Comment to yaiofanboy: A Cloud and Leon angst? I don't know, I guess that would be fun. But not until I finish my other stuff first.

Major thanks to everyone who reviewed! I totally love you all! Feel free to do it again!
