A friend of mine suggested this one. :)

Also, Fizz calls Barbie 'Babie' as a bit of a joke. I headcannon that when he was younger, he had a bit of difficulty with the letter 'R' at times. 'Babie' is pronounced baa-bee and it means Queen or Princess. Only Fizz is allowed to call her that. :)


Chapter 6

Fizz was walking down the street with a few bodyguards with him and just enjoying the day as Oliver was home with Ozzy, the larger being helping the boy out with some homework from school while the jester went to grab some things from the stores.

"Fizz, look out!" A familiar voice called out to him.

He turned to see it was Bee, but before he could ask, some type of liquid fell on him and in a flash it seemed, Fizz felt himself shrinking until he was no taller than Oliver. "Hey, what happened?!" He asked before realizing his voice sounded different.

Bee quickly flew over to him and scooped him up. "Oh, hon, I'm so sorry!" She apologized before ordering her helpers to contain the mess and she told Fizz's bodyguards to head back for Ozzy's home. "And don't breathe a word of this to anyone," she said firmly.

Fizz wasn't sure what happened, but he was quite startled to see he was a kid again. "Um, Bee?" He asked, making her look at him. "What was that liquid?"

"It's a formula I've been working on as like a 'Fountain of Youth' thing," she admitted. "But I could sense this batch didn't come out right, so my helpers were going to discard it properly, but one of them tripped and the liquid landed on you." She hugged him. "I'm so sorry, Fizz."

What she didn't see was someone had posted the video on the web and Mammon saw it, to which he grinned. "Perfect!" He said, going out to find the now-shrunk clown.

What he didn't see was Blitz just happened to be spying on him to make sure the greedy being didn't hurt Fizz again and Blitz's eyes widened at seeing Mammon had just seen Fizz get turned into a kid. "Oh, no you don't," he growled and quickly booked it to where Fizz and Bee were.

Bee held Fizz and jumped when Mammon teleported close to them. "Mammon," she growled, hugging Fizz protectively. He clung to her as he saw Mammon too, afraid especially now because he was a kid again. Despite having been turned into a kid, he still had his memories and he didn't want to even be near Mammon.

"Oh, come on, Bee! No need for that," the greedy being said with a grin that was frightening to the poor kid in Bee's arms.

Just then, something kicked the side of Mammon's face so hard that he was knocked aside with a dark bruise appearing on his face. "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Blitz growled as he stood in-between the greedy being and the kind being who was holding Fizz protectively.

Bee made up her mind then. "Blitz, take Fizz and run," she said, her voice brooking no room for argument. "I'll handle Mammon. You keep Fizz safe until he returns to his normal self."

"How long will that be?" Blitz asked as he accepted Fizz from her, seeing his friend was on the verge of tears at the predicament and he quickly wrapped the left side of his coat around him to act like a shield around the small being as he held him protectively.

"Hopefully no longer than a few hours," Bee said before gesturing to the back of the store. "Go!" She urged gently, but firmly.

Nodding, he began moving, cradling Fizz and making sure one hand was free in case he had to grab something to defend himself and the child or to grab something to help them escape. "Blitz!" He heard Fizz say and he looked down at him. "Tail knot tie!"

Though he hadn't heard that phrase in many years, the scarred being felt his body move into a series of moves that not only swung them up in the air and over everyone's heads, but also made them vanish fast, confusing everyone as to where they went.

Bursting out a side door into an alley, Blitz continued moving, not stopping until he got to the building that held his office. No one was there at the moment he had closed it down for the day to rest and he was glad he had now. Taking a few moments to catch his breath, he looked down at the smaller Fizz in his left arm. "Fizz? You okay, buddy?" He asked, gently sitting the kid down on the desk in front of him.

Tears welled up in Fizz's eyes and he bit his lip, to which Blitz scooped him into a hug. "Hey, I gotcha, buddy," he said soothingly. "Don't worry, you'll soon be back to your normal self and back with that rooster you can't stop talking about."

The kid hugged him, sniffling as the tears were gently wiped away. "Blitz?" He asked. "How did you find me?"

"I was spying on Mammon to make sure he wouldn't come after you and happened to see that someone had posted you getting turned into a kid," his friend said. "I booked it over here fast when I saw Mammon come after you. I didn't know Bee was with you, but I'm glad she was."

"Me too," Fizz said. "Can...Can you call Ozzy?"

Deciding not to tease his friend this time, Blitz made the call and Ozzy picked up on the first ring. "Blitz?" He asked curiously.

"Sorry to bother you, big guy, but don't know if you saw the story yet," the scarred being said.

"What story?" Ozzy asked, feeling concerned.

Blitz told him what happened and Ozzy was furious that Mammon had tried to kidnap Fizz. "Knowing Bee, she'll send him running back to his home," he said.

"Ozzy?" Fizz asked, his voice sounding small.

"Froggie, are you okay?" The larger being's voice cooed to him, soothing the now-smaller being.

"Yeah, I'm okay, despite being a kid again," he said. "Blitz and Bee both kept me safe."

"I've got a feeling Mammon may try something," Ozzy said. "Blitz, I hate to impose, but can you keep Fizz safe until he's back to normal? I'll pay you triple the price you charge."

While Blitz normally would have agreed quickly for the money, he shook his head. "Nah, big guy, I'll keep him safe for free," he said. "Fizz did save me back at the warehouse that one time, so I'll keep him safe until he's back to normal and then I'll bring him by."

"Thank you," the larger being said, deciding that he'd still pay Blitz because he liked Blitz now that the misunderstanding between his favorite jester and his friend had been cleared up.

Fizz was surprised to find that Blitz was an excellent babysitter, making sure he was fed and didn't belittle him. The jester then saw a poster of Blitz and Barbie and cocked his head to the side. "Hey, Blitz?" He asked.

"Yeah?" His friend asked.

"Where's Barbie?"

Blitz was quiet. "I don't know," he admitted. "She...She told me not to find her. She's...She's really upset."

Fizz knew why and he got an idea. "Hey, can I see your phone?" He asked.

"Why?" The taller being asked curiously.

"Just trust me. Like how you trusted me to create that distraction at the warehouse."

Smiling as he recalled how he and Fizz had worked together to escape, he gave the child jester his phone and within moments, Fizz had found out where Barbie was. "Found her," he said. "And she's actually nearby. Can we go see her?"

"I don't know, Fizz," Blitz said. "She doesn't really want to see me."

"I think she will if I ask her," Fizz said, looking earnest. "Please?"

The taller being didn't have the heart to tell his friend 'no'. "Okay, but stay close," he said. "I don't know if Barbie will even be willing to listen for a moment, even if you're with me."

"I'll smooth things over, Blitz. Don't worry," the jester promised.

Barbie was annoyed for a moment until she saw Fizz and her jaw dropped. "What the-!" She exclaimed before clapping her hands to her mouth. "It was true," she said quietly.

"Yeah," Blitz said, nodding.

The jester kid reached towards Barbie, making grabby hands. A bit hesitant at first, she sighed softly and gently lifted the smaller being into her arms. "Hey, Fizz," she said softly.

He looked up at her. "Please talk to Blitz, Barbie," he pleaded.

She looked unsure, to which he gave her puppy eyes. "Pwease, Babie?" He said softly.

Hearing the nickname that she only let Fizz call her when they were kids, she looked at him in surprise before a smile came to her face and she began laughing.

And it was genuine laughter, which made Blitz smile.

"Oh, come here, you goofball!" Barbie said, her tone playful as he began tickling the jester kid's ribs, remembering that had been one of his main tickle spots.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BAHAHAHAHAHAHARBIE!" He pleaded as he squirmed to escape, but she had him trapped in a hug.

"Oh, no you don't," she said, blowing playful raspberries into his neck, making him squeal. "Hey, Blitz? What was the one thing that would make Fizz really squeal?" She asked her brother.

He grinned. "A Barbie raspberry right on his cute wittle belly button," he said teasingly.

"NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Fizz laughed out in protest, but didn't try to escape as Barbie moved the jester's shirt up just enough to expose his belly button and took a deep breath, blowing the biggest raspberry right into his belly button.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The smaller being squealed, his squeal making the twins laugh before Barbie gently lifted Fizz up to sit upright on her left arm.

"I'd almost forgotten about that," she admitted before looking away. "I...I don't know if...I'm quite ready yet to...to talk."

"I get it, Barb," Blitz said understandingly, though he looked sad.

"Barbie, please?" Fizz asked, making her look at him. "Will you do it for me? Let Blitz explain and talk with him? He misses you. I do too."

The jester's sad eyes gazed at her and she couldn't bring herself to say 'no'. "Okay, Fizz," she said, smiling. "For you."

He smiled and hugged her before motioning Blitz closer. The oldest of the twins moved closer and Barbie pulled him into the hug too, the three of them hugging before Barbie let go and Blitz pulled away a little.

Fizz smiled. "I'll ask Ozzy if he'll let you two come visit more," he said. "You can meet our son, Oliver."

The twins looked at him in shock. "I'm an aunt?" Barbie asked in shock.

"I'm an uncle?" Blitz asked, also shocked.

"Yup!" Fizz said, giggling before he felt an odd sensation and he noticed he seemed to be getting slowly taller. "Um, Barbie? I think I'm going back to full size now."

She gently set him down and in moments, Fizz was back to his normal self again and hugged the two. "I missed my siblings," he said.

Barbie sniffled as tears filled her eyes. "Miss you too, ya goofball," she said affectionately before she nodded to her brother. "Let's have lunch or dinner sometime?"

"Yeah. My treat," Blitz said with a nod before he and Fizz left and headed back to Ozzy's palace. "Hey, Fizz?" He said to his friend.

"Yeah?" The jester asked.

"Thanks. For helping me start to patch things up with Barb."

Fizz smiled. "You're welcome, Blitz," he said as they arrived and Blitz left to head back home. Fizz raced into the palace and soon found Ozzy, who looked up from the book he had been reading and a look of relief was on his face.

"Froggie!" He said happily, seeing the smaller being jump towards him and he was quick to catch the jester in his arms. "Oh, I'm so glad you're safe!"

"Yeah, Blitz kept me safe," Fizz said. "And Bee took care of Mammon."

"Oh, she did alright," Ozzy said with a smile, pulling out his phone to show the jester the picture that Bee had sent of Mammon being tied up in colorful lights and was unable to get free. Both laughed heartily at that and Oliver came into the room, having heard both his dad and papa talking, thanks to his hearing device.

His face lit up and he ran over to them, to which Ozzy scooped up the child with his free arm and Fizz accepted the boy into his own arms for a hug. "Hey, Noodle," he said, feeling the boy hug him tightly. "Oh, a hug from my kid and my favorite big guy always make me feel better."

Ozzy smiled, nuzzling his forehead against the jester's and ruffling Oliver's hair, making the child smile. "Alright, let me order dinner and we'll have a game night," the larger being said. "Our little Oliver got the highest grade on his math test today."

"Good job, buddy!" Fizz said, proud of the boy, who grinned and used sign language to tell his dad and papa about his day.

Ozzy smiled before sending something to Blitz, who was shocked to see an envelope with not only the promised payment from the larger being, but some extra cash too. Blitz knew immediately what to do with it.
