" Ok what just happened ? " Kim whispered so her two friends as Jason fell back asleep on Billy's lap.
" Hey, he fell back asleep ! Just like twelve years ago ! " Zack smiled.
" Wow, he's just like he was when he was four years-old. Waking up fifteen minutes after daybreak, grabbing something ... well, anything actually, and then he goes back to sleep ... " Trini mused.
" Why fifteen minutes after daybreak ? " Kim asked, temporarily forgetting about the current problem.
" I don't know, he was always like that when he was four ... " Zack reminisced.
" Well, Jason was a strange child. " Trini explained.
" Yes, I see that, though he turned out well huh. " Kim mused.
" Yes he did, now, the question is, what caused this to happen ? " Trini said.
" Ummmm, he didn't hit his head or anything, you don't think ... that it was something he ate ? " Zack asked.
" But the only thing he ate ... " Trini started as her eyes opened in shock.
" Was cotton candy ! " they all shouted.
" Shush. " Billy hushed as Jason started moving. Kim motioned for them to go outside into the hall as they continued talking.
" I guess Sophie drugged Jason ... again. " Kim sighed.
" So, how 'bout me and you go get Sophie and see if she can fix this while Trini stays here and helps Billy with Jason. " Zack quickly devised a plan. They nodded and were about to take off when they heard Kim's dad.
" Kim, are you ready ? " her dad asked. She looked away in confusion and then it dawned on her.
" Yeah ! I'm going to go change first ! " Kim smiled until her dad turned and walked away.
" Oh shoot ! I forgot I have to spend the day with him ! " Kim quietly yelled as she turned back to them.
" I guess you can't bail huh ? " Zack sighed.
" No, I can't. I mean he's been so understanding about you guys and lets me have whatever I want and he just wants to spend some time together and he deserves it and- " Kim listed.
" Kim, you're ranting again. And don't worry, we can do this without you. Go on and have a good time. " Trini said as she pushed Kim upstairs. After Kim was out of site, Trini turned back to Zack.
" So, what's the game plan ? " Zack asked as he clapped.
" I guess both of us have to go and find Sophie. " she sighed.
" But what about Billy ? " Zack asked in worry.
" I don't know. I guess he's going to have to handle Jason himself because I am not going to let you go to that carnival alone. We don't know how many more of those people are left. " Trini said.
" I guess so. Hey, Jason wasn't that bad when he was four right ? " Zack shrugged as they opened the door to tell Billy the plan.
--
" Help ! " Billy uttered out as Jason wrapped his arm and leg around him.
" Oh, sorry about that. " Zack gave an apologetic look as he slowly unhooked Jason's arm and leg from Billy.
" Yeah, Jason kinda ... cuddles against whatever is closest to him while he's sleeping. " Trini explained.
" And how do you remember this ? " Billy asked as he got up off the bed and stood next to them.
" Well, because Jase acted like that up until he was seven, and I roomed with him every single year. But he only sucked his thumb when he was four. " Zack said.
" Wow ... and how do you know ? " he asked, pointing to Trini.
" Because I know everything that happens to my boys. " she smiled.
" Which did get creepy after awhile ... like one time, I realized I had this crush on this girl and then the same night, Trini asked me if I told her I liked her yet. " Zack remembered.
" Yes ... well, what did you guys come up with out there ? " Billy asked, glancing over to see Jason shifting around.
" Well, me and Trini are going back to the carnival and try to find Sophie. We think she might have done something to Jase's cotton candy. "
" Why would you think that ? " Billy asked as a sudden flash of that night during the festival shot through his mind but he shook it off.
" Well, we just have our suspicions. " Trini calmly said.
" Well, ok. But what about Kim ? " Billy asked.
" She forgot that she had some plans she couldn't get out of. " Zack said.
" Ok then, but what about me ? How am I going to take care of him by myself ? " Billy asked nervously.
" Well, Jason is pretty low matinience. He's going to sleep until morning and he's going to take another one in the afternoon, after that, we would probably be home already. If he gets hungry, get something simple for him to eat, nothing too hard or hot. If needs to go to the bathroom, take him to Kim's room and don't worry, he won't put anything in his mouth as long as he is still sucking his finger. " Trini said.
" You mean he still does that ? " Billy asked in confusion.
" Well, it took him awhile to ... uhh ... mature. " said Zack.
" And if he wants something else to suck on, get the baby pacifier from Kim's room. I think all that's left is to say, don't let him out of your sight or outside this room. And don't take the toy away, he might start crying. " Trini directed.
" Ummm ... ok ... why does Kim have a baby pacifier ? "
" Because, girls are prepared for everything. " Trini smiled.
" ... great, but we should hurry up and go. The sooner we find Sophie the better ... wait, how do we get there ? " Zack froze.
" Ummm ... we'll think of something. " Trini said as she hurried Zack out. Billy looked over and saw Jason and started grinning. He grabbed his camera and took a picture of the baby-faced Jason sucking his thumb and hugging the triceratops.
" Hmmmmm, what to do with this ? " Billy yawned, realizing it was still early in the morning. He fell on top of his bed and fell asleep, not noticing that Jason had woken up.
--
" So dad, where are we going ? " she asked as they proceeded down a dark hallway.
" Well, I know that we haven't done this in awhile, but I remember you used to love it. " he said as he opened the door. It opened up to a stable, home to Kim's favorite animal.
" Oh my god ! " Kim yelled happily as she looked around at all the horses. She walked around and petted a few before she came to a pure white stallion.
" Perseus ? " Kim yelped excitedly as she hugged it.
" Yup, the same horse from seven years ago. " her dad smiled. She smiled back at him and hugged him. Kim picked up a small brush and gracefully combed it's mane.
" How about we go and ride these stallions. " her dad chuckled as he unhooked the reins on his own black stallion. He hooked on the saddle and climbed up, looking at Kim.
" You still got it I see. " Kim complimented as she mounted her own horse. The end door opened and they rode through.
--
Billy suddenly woke up when he felt something prodding his face. He looked down and saw Jason's wide eyes staring up at him. He pulled back and noticed that Jason had somehow squeezed himself onto Billy's bed.
" Jason, what are you doing in my bed ? " Billy asked.
" Bored. " he muttered out.
" Jason, why do you have only boxers on ? "
" Hot. " Jason replied simply. Billy sighed and moved off the bed, Jason following him. Billy sat on Jason's bed while Jason sat on the floor and started playing with the stuffed toy. He smiled as he sat back and watched how Jason happily played with the simple toy. After awhile, Billy got out his drawing book and started to sketch the infant Jason.
" Hey Jason, what do you think ? " smiled Billy as he showed the picture to Jason. He didn't care that he was showing Jason his pictures, Jason was probably going to forget all of this anyway. Jason hugged the triceratops to his chest again and bounded over to Billy happily, still sucking his thumb. He smiled when he realized it was a picture of him and finally took his thumb out of his mouth.
" Me ? " he asked, his eyes shining happily. After Billy nodded, Jason bent over and gave him a kiss in thanks, ignoring BIlly's blush. After that, Jason started sucking his thumb again and went back down to play.
--
" Geez Trini, never knew you were so adventurous. " Zack panted as they ran the rest of the way to the carnival. After they managed to sneak out of the castle, they started walking on the path towards the carnival but then Trini spotted a passing-by carriage. Zack immediatly disagreed, saying it was too dangerous but Trini had already hitch-hiked on the back, pulling Zack along.
" Shush Zack, we must find Sophie. " Trini said as they made their way to the toll booth.
" Zack, do you have money ? " Trini asked worridly as she realized she left her gold bag at the castle.
" Ummm ... no. " Zack said as he searched through all his pockets.
" I guess we'll just have to sneak in. " she whispered.
" Hey, what happened to the honest Trini I used to know. " he joked.
" This is a dire situation, we can't risk losing time. " she replied as she slowly walked around back with Zack following. They walked swiftly around the back and headed into forestation.
" Well, this is pleasant. " Zack said sarcastically as he pushed a branch out of his face, having no idea how Trini managed to weave through the brush so well.
" Come on, I think we're almost there. " Trini said. As they made their way to a clearing, they heard something behind them.
" Gotcha. "
--
" Jason. " Billy called.
" Yeah ? " he called back.
" Do you need to go to the bathroom ? " he asked.
" Uh-huh. " he replied.
" Come on, let's go. " Billy couldn't believe how fast he got into the role of big brother, already able to read Jason's expressions and actions. As Billy opened the door and peeked outside, Jason slowly got up and grabbed Billy's hand, making Billy blush ... again. After making sure once again that the coast was clear. He quickly dragged Jason up to Kim's room. They quickly ran the last distance and Billy shut the door behind him.
" Ok Jason, the bathroom is over there. " Billy said, leading him to it. Jason hesitated, the slowly walked in and closed the door behind him. Billy heard some private sounds so he decided to wander around Kim's room. He looked under Kim's desk and saw a baby bag.
" Wow ... where do girls get this stuff ? " Billy wondered, quoting Zack as he pulled out the pacifier just in case. He heard Jason finish his business and flush the toilet.
" Remember to put the lid down ! " Billy smiled as he heard a small thunk. Jason walked out of the bathroom and washed his hands and dried them on his boxers.
" Jason. " Billy called, seeing it. Jason smiled sheepishly as he went back in and dried his hands on a towel. He was about to start sucking his thumb again when Billy nodded no.
" It's a bad habit to suck your thumb. " Billy told him as he put the pacifier in front of him. Jason looked at it and then clamped his mouth down. Billly smiled and went out again to check if it's clear.
" Come on. " Billy whispered, feeling his hand being grabbed again. He dragged Jason out the door and almost made it down the hallway when a voice called out to him.
" Hey Billy ! Jason, is that you ? " he heard Ernie call. Jason turned around at the sound of his name and gave a small wave after he unhooked his hand from Billy's. Ernie looked at them strangely, staring at the pacifier and realizing Jason was only wearing boxers.
" Uhhh, Jason's sick. " Billy said as he waved goodbye and continued dragging Jason back to their room, only to be stopped once again.
" Hey Billy ! Jason, that you ? " called Harry ... a very sexually active teen they all know and love, very popular because of his looks.
" Hey Harry. " Billy said as Jason gave another small wave, sucking on his pacifier.
" Hey, ... uh, are you guys doing this role-playing thing or something ? " he asked, pointing to the pacifier.
" What do you mean ? " Billy asked as Jason held his hand again. Harry smiled and whispered something into his ear which made Billy pull back and blush furiously.
" No ! " Billy almost yelled.
" Really ? Cause I mean, word around here says you and Jason kissed ... a lot actually. " he said.
" Since when ? " Billy asked, aghast. Suddenly, Jason started whining and pulling on his arm.
" What's up with him ? " Harry asked.
" I don't know. I think he wants to go back to our room. " Billy replied.
" He's probably jealous and wants you to himself. " Harry whispered back.
" Are you serious ? " Billy asked unbelieving as Jason tugged on him again.
" Hey, I don't know. Just offering my opinion. " Harry said as he left Billy to be dragged by Jason back to their room.
--
" So dad, what's up next ? " Kim asked.
" I don't know baby, I guess it's time for lunch. We're a little late but that's ok. " he laughed as their stomachs growled in unison.
" Well, I guess we can go to Stone Cafe in town ? " Kim suggested.
" That sounds great baby. " he smiled.
' Gotta keep him as far away from the castle as possible. ' she sighed.
--
" God Sophie ! You scared the heck outta us ! " Zack yelled as they made their way to Sophie's ... lab.
" I'm sorry ! I didn't know who guys were ! I just saw two people getting too close to my lab ! " she apologized.
" Why do you have a lab in the middle of the forest ? " Trini asked.
" So nobody would find it. " she simply said. They proceeded through the woods and made it to a wall.
" Ok, what are we doing here ? " Zack asked as Sophie walked up to it.
" We're here. " Sophie said as she walked up to it and pressed the side, a door revealing itself. They walked through to see multiple test tubes filled with strange liquids.
" This just screams mad scientist you know. " Trini said.
" Thank you. So how old is Jason again ? " Sophie asked as she made her way to a few test tubes.
" Four. " they answered together.
" Ok, and how old is Jason really ? " she asked as she started pulling out an empty test tube and started pouring stuff into it.
" Sixteen. " they answered together ... again as the smiled at eachother. Sophie started adding more things to the test tube, then she added one more thing and then it exploded.
" Dang, I guess that was the wrong combination. " she grumbled as she continued mixing liquids.
" Uh-oh. This might take longer than we thought. " Zack sighed.
--
" Sshhh ... sshhh ... go to sleep Jason ... " Billy said softly as Jason closed his eyes and fell asleep. Billy sighed and his stomach growled, realizing that it was past lunch time already. He made sure he was tucked in and quietly made it downstairs.
" Hello Ernie. " Billy sighed as he rested on the kitchen table.
" Hey Billy, where Jason ? " Ernie asked as he placed a plate full of food in front of Billy.
" Thanks. And he's sleeping. " Billy said as he began to eat. Ernie just nodded slowly and went back to business. After a short moment of silence, pandemonium erupted in the dining room.
" Aaaaaggggghhhh ! " girls squealed in delight at Jason. He had somehow made it downstairs, still rubbing his eyes sleepily, still sucking on the pacifier, still hugging the triceratops to his chest, still wearing only his boxers, and his hair was adorably mussed up, a dangerous combination to females.
" He's so cute ! " they yelled as they slowly crowded him. They started pinching his cheeks and trying to touch him but he was able to deal with it fine so far, until they knocked the triceratops out of his hand.
" Oh no. " Billy said in worry as he saw Jason's eyes start to water, though the girls didn't seem to notice as they continued swooning over him. Suddenly, Harry got through the crowd and held them back, motioning for Jason to go to the kitchen. He saw Billy, and then jumped. He jumped onto a table and splattered the food, then he jumped across the room into Billy's arms.
" Oomph. " Billy said as they fell against the ground. Jason started to whimper, then the pacifier fell out of his mouth and he started crying into Billy's shoulder. He just laid there stunned, he didn't realize how much Jason crying would affect him. After the initial shock, Billy gently patted Jason's back while he whispered into his ear.
" Ernie ... uhhh ... can you get the stuffed toy out there ? And don't let anyone else in ... besides Harry. " Billy asked as Ernie slowly nodded and went outside. Suddenly, Harry burst through the door and pressed his back against it.
" Back, you demons ! Cute boys repel you devil's advocates ! " Harry yelled as he opened the door and then closed it again when objects where shot at it.
" Cute boys repel you ? Isn't more that cuteness attracts them ? " Billy asked in confusion as Jason was reduced to only sniffling. He picked up the pacifier and put it back in Jason's mouth while wiping the remaining tears away.
" I have no idea, just saying whatever pops into my mind. " he smiled as he opened the door let let Ernie in. Ernie handed the toy back to Jason and he gripped it to his chest. It was quiet for awhile until Jason's stomach growled.
" You hungry ? " Billy asked as Jason nodded.
" Ernie ? " Billy called.
--
" Whoa ! " they all yelled as Sophie added one last ingredient and the concoction gave a small poof.
" I guess it's done. " Sophie coughed as she waved some of the smoke away and picked up the small tube.
" Wait, it's too strong, let me mix it into some cotton candy. " she said as her cart magically appeared from the shadows and it started up.
" Are you sure about that ? Because every single time you make cotton candy, something bad always happens. " Zack said nervously.
" Ta-dah ! " Sophie said as she scopped some cotton candy into a bag and gave it to the others.
" Are you sure this is going to work ? " Trini asked as she stared at the bag incredulously.
" Yes, yes. I'm very sure. Now go along, and turn Jason back into a teenager. " Sophie said as she pushed them out.
" What about you ? " Zack asked.
" I need to go and man my cart. " Sophie smiled as she pulled on a cap and left then as they continued and made it to the path back to the castle.
" Ummm, how are we going to get back ? " Zack asked as Trini suddenly turned and widened her eyes.
" Doesn't that carriage look familiar ? " Trini asked as she pointed to a pure white carriage.
" Kim ? " he asked.
--
" So, where do you want to go ? " her dad asked.
" I think I want to go home. I'm ... uhhh ... tired. " she said, as she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye.
" What was that ? " her dad asked as a small thump vibrated throughout the carriage.
" Let me see. " she said nervously as she stuck her head out the window and looked back. She slightly gasped as she saw Zack move over the side and wave at her before Trini grabbed him and pulled him back.
" Uh, it was nothing dad. " she said. The ride went much more quietly than usual, when she thought she heard Trini's voice so she peeked outside.
" Zack, is that the cotton candy ? "
" Oh shoot ! " Zack said as he flipped off the carriage. Kim pulled her head back in and pretended to look sick.
" Dad, can you tell him to stop the carriage, I feel kinda sick. " Kim whined. Her dad nodded and stuck his head out his window and told the driver to stop as Kim quickly checked outside her own. She saw Zack pick up the bag and get pulled back on by Trini.
" No dad, it's ok ... I ... uhhhh ... made a miraculous recovery ! " she said enthusiastically.
" Are you sure ? " he asked, raising his eyebrow as she put on a smile.
--
" Come on Jason, last bite. " Harry urged as he held the last small bit of sandwich in front of him but he nodded no.
" Come on Jason, you have to eat all of it like a big boy. Do I have to get Billy ? " Harry challanged as he looked over to where Billy was finishing up his lunch. Jason quickly nodded no and ate the rest of his lunch, then he got his bottle - also from Kim's baby bag - and drank his water.
" You ate all of it ? Good boy ! " Billy said happily as he put his plate away and went to kneel down in front of Jason and pat his head. Jason smiled brightly and put the pacifier back in his mouth.
" Come on baby boy, time to take a bath. " Billy said as he froze after making the strange comment. Then he checked outside to make sure the girls were gone.
" Hey, aren't we supposed to be working ? " Harry asked.
" Well, I guess we are ... I wonder why we haven't gotten in trouble for it yet ... " Billy shrugged as Jason grabbed his hand and they proceeded upstairs.
" Oh, bye Ernie ! I wanna go and be lazy with them ! " Harry said as he shot up.
" Ummm, no. I think you, should go back to work. " Ernie smiled as Harry sighed and walked out.
--
" What do you want to wear ? " Billy asked as he pulled out Jason's clothes trunk. Jason dove in and pulled out his silver shirt from the fashion show and a pair of red shorts.
" You want to wear this ? " he asked as he pointed to the platinum shirt. Jason nodded so Billy got out a pair of red boxers and led him out of the hall to Kim's room. They closed the door behind him and Billy started up the bath and added some bath bubbles.
" Jason, put the toy down. " Billy said but Jason nodded no. He sighed and took the toy from him, making Jason start to whimper and whine for it.
" Shhhh, shhhh. It's ok Jason, it's right here ok ? You get it back after your bath ok ? " Billy wiped the bottom of Jason's eye as it was starting to water. Jason nodded and started sucking his pacifier again. BIlly turned around and waited until he heard Jason take off his boxers and climb into the water. He turned around and was greeted with a faceful of bubbles. After it cleared up, he saw Jason had taken off his pacifier and was smiling at him.
" Jason, don't do that. " Billy said as Jason blew bubbles in his face again and started giggling.
" You want to play ? Well, I'll play. " said Billy as he took off his shirt and started splashing Jason.
--
" And we're home. " her dad announced as he got out of the carriage.
" Yes we are ! Let's go inside ! " Kim pushed him the opposite direction when she saw that he was going to the back. She nervously chuckled as she motioned for Zack and Trini to sneak back into the castle. After seeing that they managed to sneak in through the back, she sighed tiredly.
" Wow, I'm beat ! I think I'm going to my room and rest up a bit. " Kim said.
" Sure honey, but I have something planned after dinner alright ? " he smiled as he walked her up to her room. She heard a yell coming from the boys side so she hurried up to her room. Kim opened the door and froze.
" Jason ! Stop, get back in the tub. "
" No ! "
" Jason ! Hurry up so I can rinse you off ! " Billy yelled. Kim looked back and saw that her dad was staring at her.
" Ummm ... I'm fine ! I just ... need to go to the bathroom. " Kim said as she closed the door behind her and opened the bathroom door.
" Jason, close your eyes. " Billy directed as he covered Jason's eyes while he poured water on Jason's head and rinsed away the last of the suds.
" Jason, stay under the water. " Billy said as he pulled the drain and turned around.
" Aahhh ! " he yelled, seeing Kim there.
" Why do you keep on going into the bathroom when we're in it ? " he yelled.
" Why don't you ever lock the door ? " she also yelled.
" ... you have a lock on the door ? " he asked, still yelling.
" Yes ! " she yelled back.
" Hmm, interesting. Ok then, out ! " he said as he started to push her out the door.
" Why ? It's my bathroom. " she called back.
" Because, you are not allowed to see Jason full frontal. " Billy blushed as he said it.
" Why not ? I saw him back at the hotel. " she smiled as she saw Billy blush more.
" Yes, but he is wet now. "
" Hmmm, he is is he. " she smiled as Billy pushed her out the door and closed it behind her.
" Ok Jason, come out. " Billy said as he held a towel in front of him. When Jason was all the way out, Billy closed his eyes and somehow managed to wrap it around Jason's waist. He directed him to hold it there as Billy got another towel and started drying Jason's hair and upper body. Billy grabbed the sliver shirt and put it over Jason's head, tousled his hair and put the pacifier in his mouth.
" Put on your underwear by yourself ok. " Billy said as he turned around. He heard the towel drop and Jason picking up the boxers and putting it on.
" Well, they're backwards ... but you can fix that later. " Billy said as he turned around helped Jason into the shorts and give him back the toy. When he turned around, he felt Jason jump onto his back.
" Do you want a piggy-back ride ? " he asked as Jason nodded against his shoulder. He started walking and realized Jason was a lot lighter than he looked with all of his muscle. When he got out the door, Kim took a picture of them from the shadows, without them noticing.
" Awww, isn't that adorable ? " she gushed as Billy heard Jason yawn.
" Well, I guess you didn't get to finish your nap huh ? " Billy realized as he walked over to Kim's bed and Jason jumped off him and fell on her pillow. Billy laid down and realized how tired he was. He quickly fell asleep as soon as Jason did.
--
" Dang, they're still sleeping ? " Zack whined as his stomach growled.
" Yes they are. But it is dinner time, I guess we can bring up some food for them and you can feed Jason the potion candy then. " Kim suggested as they made their way downstairs. They got their food and sat down at their usual table when Harry decided to join them this time.
" Hey you guys ! " he said enthusiastically.
" Hey Harry ! " they all chorused.
" So, what brings you here today ? " Kim asked as she started eating.
" Well, I usually eat with my roomates but they seem to be missing today. Speaking of missing roommates, where's Billy and Jason ? " he asked as he too started eating.
" They're sleeping. " Zack said.
" Really ? Like, sleeping together ? " he grinned slyly.
" Yeah. " Trini said, not even thinking about it.
" Really. Because I know that our beds are pretty small, so how are they able to sleep together without being really close ? And I mean really close. " he smiled at their looks.
" Eeew ! You are nasty Harry ! " Kim smiled.
" Hey ! It's my job. So, I'm guessing they slept in your room ? " he asked, pointing to Kim.
" Yeah, how d'ja know ? " Kim asked as she continued eating, he was one of the other few people that knew that she allowed the others to go in and out of her bedroom.
" Because Billy said something about giving Jason a bath, and I know he wouldn't do that in the public ones. " he chuckled.
" Whoa, Billy gave Jason a bath ? " Trini asked.
" Yeah, didn't I tell you ? Well, I got a picture of them when they finished up but Billy pushed me out of the bathroom before I could see anything else. " Kim told them.
" Dang, we do miss a lot when we're not all together. " Zack groaned as he continued eating.
" Yes we do. " Trini sadly agreed as they continued eating.
" So, Harry, you have like no idea where your roommates are ? " Kim asked with concern.
" No, but you know them. They usually turn up sooner or later, so I wouldn't worry much about them. " he shrugged it off. Suddenly, they heard screaming from the hall and they just knew it had to be ...
" Jason ! Come on ! " they all sighed, they were right. A blur shot through the door and into Ernie's kitchen, followed by a horde of girls.
" AAaagggghhhh ! " they screamed as they were almost overrun by them as they made a dive for the kitchen door.
" Harry ! Zack ! Block it ! " Kim yelled as they braced themselves against the door.
" What happened ? " Kim asked as she saw Jason was being given a piggy-back ride by Billy again.
" Well, Jason woke up before I did and he got restless. So, he decided to adventure into the girls' dorms. " Billy sighed as he stared at Jason's innocent expression.
" I guess the idea of Jase acting like a baby was just too adorable to them. " Trini guessed.
" Dang, is Jason wearing a pimp shirt ? " Harry smiled as he braced himself against the door.
" Harry ! " they all shouted.
" This is so not the right time for this. " Kim said.
" Sorry, couldn't resist ! " he shrugged as he pushed himself against the door.
" Wow, now I know what it feels like to be famous. " Zack sighed.
" Yeah, but as if we'll ever be famous. " Kim joked. They all thought about it, but shook their heads.
" Nah ! "
" I guess this is a better time that ever to give Jason the antidote ... Zack, where is it ? " Trini asked.
" Ummmm ... I think I left it up in our room ... " he smiled sheepishly.
" So, who's going up there ? " Billy asked. They all were silent as they looked at eachother ...
" I'll do it ! " Zack suddenly spoke up.
" You know, you don't have to go. " Billy said.
" No, it's my fault I left it up there. " Zack said. They waited awhile when they thought the girls had quieted down and then Zack cautiously opened the door. When no attack came, he slowly walked out.
" It's quiet ... too quiet ... aaaggghhhh ! " Zack screamed when he was pulled the rest of the way out of the door by his feet. He hung onto the door but he was taken soon enough.
" Why is this happening to us ? " Kim yelled.
" I don't know ! We're being picked off one by one ! " Trini said along with her.
" Who's going to be next ! ... no ! No ! It's not going to be me ! " Harry yelled as he fell to the floor.
" Ummm ... you guys ? Don't you think you're being just a bit overdramatic ? " Billy asked as he saw them all kneeling on the floor and raising their hands in the air.
" Yeah, but who wouldn't be after that ? " Harry asked as they all got up and wiped off their knees. Suddenly, they heard a loud rumbling and the door burst open and a blur flew through.
" Corner her ! " Kim yelled as they circled the figure.
" It's me ! " Zack yelled. When they took a closer look, they realized it was Zack.
" Sorry, didn't recognize you for awhile there. " Kim apologized as she helped him up.
" Yeah, well, when they realized I wasn't Jason, they just threw me all the way back to the main hall and I managed to get this. " Zack said as he held up the cotton candy bag. Billy grabbed the bag and pull the pacifier out of Jason's mouth. He took out a piece of cotton candy and held it in front of Jason as he clamped his mouth down on it. After that, Jason whined for his pacifier again and he laid down on Billy's lap after he got it and started sucking it again.
" I guess we just have to wait and see what happens. " Trini sighed.
" Sorry guys, but I have to go. Plans with dad. " she said as she sneeked through the back door and went around to the main hall.
" Ummm ... why didn't we think of that ? " Harry asked as he pointed to the back door.
" Yeah ... but the only thing I'm wondering now is why we are still here. " Zack said as they sneaked out the back door.
--
" Dad ? " Kim called as she entered the room.
" Come on baby. " he said as he made his way to the window. He stepped onto the ledge and climbed above it.
" Ummm dad ? What are we doing on the roof ? " Kim asked as she climbed up to where her dad was sitting on a ledge.
" Look. " he simply said as he pointed to the sky.
" Wow ... " Kim said in amazement as she sat down next to her dad and looked up at the stars.

" Bye you guys ! Gotta split and head back to my room. " Harry waved goodbye as he left them at the guys' room. They all watched as Jason started to move around a little bit, and finally wake up.
" Hey. " he said ... well, he tried to say actually. It came out as a strange mumble because he still had the pacifier in his mouth. He slowly pulled it out of his mouth and stared at it strangely.
" Ummm ... did something happen to me while I was asleep ? " Jason asked as he looked down at the stuffed animal and gave it back to Billy.
" Well ... let's just get to the point. You turned into a four year-old. " Trini smiled as Jason just gaped at her.
" What do you mean ? " he asked unbelieving.
" Ummm ... let's just show him. " Zack said as he and Trini each pulled out a picture. It was the one where Billy was giving Jason a piggy-back ride and the other one was taken while the two boys were sleeping next to eachother. Somehow, Jason managed to wedge his head right under Billy's and press his body against his without waking him.
" When did you take this ? " both boys yelled in embaressment as Billy took the sleeping picture and Jason took the piggy-back picture, Billy forgetting he had taken a picture of Jason himself already. They quickly glanced at eachother's pictures and screamed again.
" Aaahhh ! Quiet ! " Zack said as he plugged his ears.
" Where did you get this ? " Jason and Billy asked them as they held up their pictures.
" From Kim. " Trini said.
" Kim. " Billy growled.
" I know I'm going to regret this ... but I have to ask ... why did I have a pacifier in my mouth ? " Jason asked as he held it up.

" Look Kim, a shooting star ! Hurry make a wish, you know how rare these are. " the king said excitedly as he pointed to it. Kim clapsed her fingers and made her wish.
' I wish ... I wish that ... I wish that I can ... I wish that Billy ... I wish that Billy would find true love soon. '
