"Woah, why're the adults getting ready for a party?" Shocket asked.
It was New Year's Eve at the Avengers compound so there were preparations going on for a prty, makimg the kids excitable because they were having a party of their own, with Casey bringing soda from the fridge, Thrud bringing rainbow cake from Asgard from the regal kitchens of her family's castle, Scorpion bringing cookies which her dad had no clue about with Shocket bringing fireworks for midnight, from her dad's personal stash.
"It's an New Year's Eve party for us, and guess you guys are throwing one too, right?" Lylla said.
Rocket smirked at this, guessing they were going to have fun, guessing that was where some of hisfireworks had went, makimg the female kit smirk at her dad's reaction to her using some of his fireworks, guessing the other kids had brought stuff for the party..
"Awesome, plus Shocket's gonna be happy, when Howard and Linda get here!" Rocket said to Lylla showing her his phone with WhatsApp with Howard's reply makimg Lylla happy for them, since she would be starting school on Half-World in the new year which Linda would be part of, seeing Shocket in a dress, which made him and Lylla impressed because she normally wore her armour that she had made, guessing she wanted to dress-up for tonight.
"Wait, Linda's coming home early from Florida, along with uncle Howard?" she asked making Rocket nod.
But Shocket had a crazy idea, to make the new yr start faster, and it involved the time-stone, which she'd found in the tech-lab so had kept it a secret from the adults, including Casey, because she might freak or yell at her, for this deciding to wait until Linda got here to set her plan in action making Lylla wonder what Shocket was up to, along with Rocket guessing she was planning a prank, so letting her do it.
"You could say that, dad besides the fireworks." Shocket said to him.
She wasgoing to join the others, makimg them wonder what she was up to, especially Casey seeing her and the other kids , hearing Howard's voice and her dad laughing which made her happy, seeing Linda hugging her, makijg her giggle because she had missed her over the holidays, catching her up tellimg her what she was planning, makimg Linda impressed.
"Does your dad know, that you have the time-stone?" Linda asked her.
Shocket shook her head, makimg Casey wonder, what she was doing with an Infinity stone, knowing insanity was about to ensue, seeing it glow asshe activated it, unaware that it was affecting her dad, Howard and Lylla, hearing commotion seeing them as kids younger than her, Casey and Linda!
"What the heck happened, how're we toddlers?" Howard squawked.
"Shocket did it, using the time-stone by accident." Casey replied, seeing the age-regressed version of her uncle anxious, making her and the adults find this adorable, seeing the younger version of Lylla beside him, which was relaxing him, seeing him surprised that Shocket had used the time-stone to make the new year start faster, not turn her dad, mom anduncle Howard into little kids!
"Well, it was a mistake, but a cute one, plus it could be fun." Casey assured her.
"Yeah, it could be, you know?" Shocket said grinning like her dad.
"Get back here, Captain Rabbit, you have to put this on, alright!" Thor said, making the kids along with toddler Howard and Lylla gigglimg while wearing diapers, because Thor was chasing his aged down best friend who was refusing to wear a diaper making Shocket understand, because it might make him uncomfortable, because of his tail making Thor understand, asking Rocket, if that was why he was resisting wearing a diaper.
"Yeah, at least Shockie gets it, Thor, but how're you gonna get us back to normie?" he replied making Casey giggle.
"I think the adults will figure out how to fix what Shocket did, but you along with Lylla and uncle Howie are very cute like this, but Lylla looks nervous, maybe you should help her feel better." she told him.
He was scampering over to her, hugging her which was making her feel better, giving her a rock seeing the female toddler otter snuggling it making Shocket confused by this, until Casey explained makimg her get it seeing Lylla feelijg bether, and snugglimg Rocket makimg him giggle which the adults found sweet.
"You have to come down before you get hurt, okay?" Shocket said to her dad.
Casey then flew up to where her aged down uncle had climbed up to, scooping him up but flying down carefully, putting a forcefield on the tree so that toddler Rocket couldn't climb it again, or gt hurt, makimg him annoyed yet Shocket was impressed by her cousin using her powers without thinking, seeing Lylla agree, seeing Sif enter, with warm Asgardian milk giving it to the aged-down versions of Howard, Lylla and Rocket, wondering what had happened, or why there were ornaments on the floor.
"We should put them to bed, they've had a long day, you know?" Casey said yawning.
Sif and Thor agreed, picking the aged-down Howard, Lylla and Rocket gently, taking them to the living room, putting them on the sofa wrapping a blanket around them gently, kissing their heads leaving them to sleep making Casey and Shocket going to bed themselves since the events had worn them out relieving them.
