Note: This story is inspired from the episode "Three Ghosts and a Baby". It is a different story however and might contain some elements from the episode.
It was morning at Whipstaff Manor. Casper had just finished his chores. He was supposed to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. He was currently at the living room, facing his uncles, who looked at him viciously.
"So, Caspeer~? Ready for your next set of chores~?" Stretch asked tauntingly. Casper was shocked when he heard that he would get more chores. The little ghost barely had any breaks.
"Do I have to get more chores?"
"Well, Short-Sheet, ye are the friendly ghost in dis house. So, ya get chores!" Said Stinkie mockingly as he unleashed his smelly mouth breath at Casper's face.
"And you are the one who does 'em all!" Said Fatso rudely as he spanked Casper in the back.
Stretch handed a list to Casper. He unfolded and saw a long list of chores. The small ghost's eyes wide in shock as he saw the list.
"There are way too many chores! I don't think I'd be able to finish them all in a single day!" Exclaimed Casper in frustation. The Trio, however, didn't care about his frustation and were still mocking him.
"If ya want ta live wit' us, ya do your chores. Since ya hate scarin' fleshies, ya gotta do the housework." Stretch scolded mockingly. Casper didn't know what to do as he saw there was no point of arguing with his uncles.
With a sigh, Casper decided to do his chores, much to the Trio's delight. His first chore was to dust the attic. He went to the attic and looked around. The attic was full of dust and cobwebs and he held a feather duster in his hand. He started to do his work as he was thinking of how he was treated as a slave by his uncles just because he was friendly. As he was working, he accidentally knocked over a stack of old books, that caused him to pause and get startled.
"Oops..."
He quickly put the books back and continued his work, a bit more careful this time. Out of sudden, a faint smoke bursted and Casper was unexpectedly transformed. He was... a baby!
He was so small, had big blue eyes and even had a diaper on him. He was sitting on the floor, looking around the attic with his innocent eyes. The only thing he would say was babbling and cooing. After a moment, he started crying. His crying was so loud that it would hear the entire manor.
Meanwhile, the Ghostly Trio was at the game room, engaged in a card game. As they were in the middle of the game, they heard the crying. Though, they were unaware that their nephew got turned into a baby.
"Hey, what's with the racket now?" Asked Stretch in confusion. His brothers also wondered too.
"Sounds like a baby crying." Assumed Stinkie.
"A baby? In this house? Nice joke, Stink." Said Stretch in annoyance.
The Trio dismissed it and they continued their game. However, the crying grew louder and Stretch slammed his cards into the table in frustation.
"I have enough of this!" He glared at his brothers. "One of you boneheads better go check on that noise. It's drivin' me nuts!"
Stinkie and Fatso looked at each other before Stretch decided.
"Fatso. Why doncha go see who's causing this noise?"
"Why me?" Whined Fatso.
"Because I say so. Now go befo' I'll whack your mindless head!" Fatso grumbled under his breath but he reluctantly leaved the room.
The large ghost was in the hallway, trying to find the source of the crying. He followed it carefully. He speculated that the cries came from the attic and floated above, passing through the floor of the attic. Much to his surprise and shock, he saw baby Casper crying on the floor.
"Oh boy... Casper?"
He floated to his baby nephew and picked him up carefully and held him in his arms awkwardly with baby Casper stopped crying and looked at Fatso with teary eyes.
"What happened to ya, Glow Worm?" Asked Fatso in confusion. Baby Casper only cooed as he couldn't talk.
"Ok... Let's go downstairs."
At the game room, Stretch and Stinkie continued the card game without Fatso. Just then, Fatso entered the room, with baby Casper in his arms.
"Guys... You might want to see this." Fatso showed his brothers their baby nephew, much to their surprise.
"What the... Is that Casper?" Asked Stretch in disbelief. Baby Casper looked at Stretch and his expression changed from sadness to joy.
"Dada!" Shouted baby Casper.
The Trio was at loss of words. They were shocked about what baby Casper had just said. He called Stretch his own "dada", much to Stretch's awkwardness.
"EH?! No way!" Exclaimed Stretch in embarassment. Fatso and Stinkie found this amusing.
"Well, looks like Casper thinks you're his dad." Said Fatso with a grin.
"Yeah, pops!" Said Stinkie jokingly.
Stretch only hissed at them for this prediction. Baby Casper was still in Fatso's arms and was reaching out to Stretch.
"Dada! Dada!"
"I ain't your dad, Bulbhead!" Said Stretch in annoyance. Baby Casper pat Stretch at the cheek and latter rubbed it. Baby Casper giggled at this.
"I never wanted this to happen..." Admitted Stretch.
The Trio were thinking of a way of how to deal with baby Casper.
