The Incredible Shrinking Babies
Dil frowned as his daddy picked him up and took him away from Tommy and his friends. He'd just wanted to show Chubby he could be a good Dil and play with the rest of the babies… but Chubby wouldn't let him play with the little toy (which looked like Tommy and Chubby!) and it had made Dil so upset he'd cried. But now he'd been placed in his crib while Tommy and his friends got to lay on his bed to take a nappie… Dil wanted to be on the bed to take a nappie!
Maybe… maybe that was only for good Dils?
He whimpered as he shut his eyes…
"Oh nos!"
Dil suddenly opened his eyes… only to gasp when he saw his brother and Chubby and Phillip and Lillip were so tiny! They were the size of toys!
"RUN!" Chubby screamed, fleeing behind MooMoo. Dil frowned and looked around. What was so scary?
"Don't lets him get you!" Lillip declared.
Dil swallowed. Was there something mean and scary coming for him?
"What should we do?" Phillip asked. "He's so big… Dil will eats us!"
Wait… DIL was who they were afraid of?
He stuck out his lip before he began to whimper. "No… no eatsTommy!" he declared between sniffs.
"Wait, you hear that guys?" Tommy said, coming out from where he was hiding. "I don't think Dil is gonna eats us or hurts us!"
"Tommy!" Dil declared, happy his brother was understanding.
"Do you wanna help us, Dilly?" Tommy asked.
"Uh huh!" Dil said, bobbing his head up and down. He could help!
"I don't know Tommy… it might be a trick to eats us," Chubby said, shaking his head.
"No!" Dil proclaimed, slowly reaching out his hand. Tommy, after a moment, wandered over and Dil gave him a hug, careful not to squish him.
"See guys!" Tommy called out. "Dil can help us!"
And he did! He lifted them up when they needed to reach Tommy's bed, and wiggled his bottle to get them all milk when they were thirsty, and let them ride on his back as he crawled around. It was a lot of fun… but he wished they were his size again so they could all play…
"Hey Dilly!" Tommy said and Dil opened his eyes to find that his brother and the other babies were back to normal. "You have a good nap?"
Nap? Was… was that all it was? A nap dream? Dil sighed… it had been nice to play with the others but it was just-
"Hey, Dil," chuckie said slowly. "Would… you like to play with us? If you promise not to chew the toys?"
Dil's eyes sparkled before he squealed in delight.
"What made you decide to trust Dil?" Lil asked as they watched Dil play carefully with Chuckie's dolls.
"I don't know… I had a dream where Dil helped us out, that's all."
Dil and Chuckie shared a look.
