(Y/N)'s POV

It was Friday afternoon. We were all at LRN discussing plans for tomorrow night's mission. LRN was currently closed due to remodeling, so having meetings here were a lot easier..

Riki: "And that should conclude this meeting. Any questions?"

Riki asked as he made eye contact with each of us, waiting.

Hiro: "Nope from me! I think we got this mission in the bag~"

Hiro flashed his signature smile, a look of confidence on his face.

Kenshi: "Hell yeah! We'll get those paintings back!"

Kenshi chimed in happily as Riki nodded with a grin.

Takuto: "It'll be a piece of cake."

Takuto said with a smug look on his face.

Riki: "Of course. This mission will be successful as usual."

Riki said, the grin still there.

Boss: "And I'll be waiting here with a feast to celebrate!"

Hiro: "Hehe, thanks Boss!"

Kenshi: "Yeah, thanks!"

Riki looked at Jenny.

Riki: "So you're good, Jen?"

Jenny: "Nah, I'm perfect. But yeah, the plan sounds great."

Jenny winked playfully and Riki chuckled in amusement. He then looked at me.

Riki: "And (Y/N)? You're okay with the plans too, right?"

Leave it to the leader to make sure everyone's okay.

I smiled at him and nodded.

(Y/N): "Of course. The plan sounds perfect to me as well."

Riki: "Heh, of course. I did write it up after all."

Suddenly, Jenny got up from her seat, an alarmed look on her face. Hiro was the first to speak up.

Hiro: "Jen? What's the matter?"

Jenny: "I have to go! I forgot I was supposed to be somewhere around this time! Really sorry guys, but I'll have to take my leave. See you all tomorrow!"

Riki: "Let us know if you need us for anything."

Kenshi: "Mhm, what Riki said."

The rest of us nodded and she smiled at us.

Jenny: "Thanks a bunch everyone, do the same as well! See ya~"

And with that, Jenny was gone like the wind.

/ / /

The door shut with a clang and the room was silent. Thinking back to what Riki had said before Jenny left, I turned back towards him.

(Y/N): "You have a big ego, Riki."

Riki: "Say what you will, but I call that 'confidence'."

Takuto: "Nah, it's ego. You're also pretty narcissistic."

Riki: "That's pretty rich, coming from you, Takuto."

Takuto: "Oi! What's that supposed to mean?!"

Riki: "You always boast about how great of a hacker you are.."

Takuto: "Even if I boast, it's a true fact kinda boast."

Riki: "Yeah yeah."

Hiro: "To be honest, Takkun and Rikkun are always full of themselves, majority of the time."

Takuto and Riki: "WHAT?!"

Hiro: "Oops, did I say that out loud? Hehe sorry~"

Riki: "No you're not!"

Takuto: "Apologize you stupid orange!"

Hiro: "I did!"

Takuto: "Genuinely!"

Hiro: "But I did!"

Riki: "Bullshit! We're not full of ourselves! At least I'm not!"

Takuto: "What's that supposed to mean?!"

Riki: "It means exactly as I said!"

Takuto: "Do you wanna fight?!"

Riki: "Gladly-!"

(Y/N): "Knock it off, you guys!"

I sighed in frustration, resting my chin in the palm of my hand, watching the scene play out before me. I shook my head slightly and made eye contact with Boss. He chuckled in amusement at the boys' banters.

Boss: "They really haven't changed at all."

Takuto: "You sound old as hell, Beardy."

Boss: "Takkun.. So mean."

I smiled slightly and that's when I heard a ping from my phone. Taking it out, Jenny's name was on my lockscreen.

Hmm, she sent a text..

'Hey girlfriend!

I forgot a package I was supposed to deliver for Boss upstairs! Think you can grab it for me? I'm on my way back to get it! Please don't tell anyone about it though! I don't wanna get teased by the guys about how forgetful I am! 🙏🏻

JJ'

I laughed a bit and sent my reply.

'No worries, Jen, your secret is safe with me! We just have to figure out how to get it to you without the others noticing'

'Drop it from the window when I get there, I'll try to catch it'

'Isn't that kinda reckless? What if whatever is inside breaks?!'

'Relax girl, it's just some dry herbs and dry foods that Boss wanted to deliver. It'll be fine! :)'

'Alrighty! See you in a bit then!'

(Y/N): "I'm gonna go to the restroom."

I announced to no one in particular and made my way upstairs. Once I got up there, I walked into the room with the bunk beds, where Jenny had forgotten the package. I picked it up and was surprised on how light it was.

I guess it can survive a drop after all.

I thought and sent another message to Jenny with my free hand.

'Here yet? I got the package.'

'Almost! And (Y/N)? I'm sorry girl ❤'

'Wait, what do you

I stopped typing when I noticed smoke coming out of the box. And just before I could scream, the box exploded, sending me into darkness.

Third POV

Downstairs, the boys had continued with their pointless banter when there was a loud bang from upstairs.

Takuto: "What the hell is that woman up to?"

Kenshi: "We should go check it out."

Hiro: "Maybe (Y/N) dropped something?"

Hiro suggested as the guys quickly made their way up the stairs.

Riki: "Hope that's the only thing that happened."

The boys were just about to walk past the bunk bed room when they heard giggling coming from the said room.

Riki: "Hey, think (Y/N) is in here.. (Y/N)?"

Riki knocked on the door and the giggling died down.

Riki: "Are you okay? Can we come in?"

There was silence and the guys looked at each other worriedly. As the leader of the group, Riki made the choice to open the door.

And what they saw wasn't what they had expected.

Sitting in the middle of the floor with a box on her head, was a little (Y/N). She pushed the box up slightly so she could see what was in front of her, and when her eyes met the guys, she giggled and smiled brightly, quickly scrambling to stand up.

(Y/N): "Hai~!"

(Y/N) waved cutely and walked closer to the surprised boys, the smile still on her face. She stopped in front of them, her height only reaching to about mid thigh. When the guys said nothing and just stared, (Y/N) frowned, her lips slightly trembling at the lack of response. And the next thing the boys knew, (Y/N) started crying.

Riki: "Crap, don't cry!"

Riki knelt down and embraced (Y/N), picking her up gently. He turned towards the others who looked at each other, a puzzled look on their faces.

Hiro: "This.. This is (Y/N).. Right? Or..?"

Kenshi: "But how is that even possible?"

Takuto: "Who the hell knows.."

Boss: "This girl is wearing the same clothes (Y/N) was wearing.."

Riki: "I don't suppose we should ask.. Hey."

Riki turned his attention to the little girl in his arms. Her cries turned into small sniffles as she looked up at Riki tearfully.

(Y/N): "H-hi."

Riki smiled gently and bounced her a little bit, to try to get her to stop crying. She giggled and held onto Riki, as she didn't want to fall.

Riki: "What is your name?"

(Y/N): "I'm (Y/N). You don't remember me, Rikkun?"

Riki: "Rikkun?!"

Takuto: "Hahahaha.."

(Y/N): "Don't laugh at Rikkun, meanie Takkun!"

Takuto: "..."

Hiro: "Haha! Takkun is stunned to silence!"

(Y/N): "Hiro the Hero!"

(Y/N) beamed and outstretched her arms towards him, and Hiro quickly came over, taking her from Riki's arms.

Hiro: "Hello you~!"

Kenshi: "Hey (Y/N)!"

(Y/N): "Kenny!"

Now it was Kenshi's turn to carry (Y/N).

Boss: "Remember me, (Y/N)? Want me to carry you as well?"

Boss smiled happily at (Y/N), and she started to cry, turning away from Boss and burying her face in Kenshi's shirt.

Hiro: "Boss! You made (Y/N) cry!"

Boss: "I'm the one who's going to cry! She cried after seeing me.."

Takuto: "That's because your face scared her."

Takuto spoke with a smug look on his face.

Kenshi: "Don't be mean, Takuto. And Boss, please don't be butthurt at the fact that your face scared (Y/N)."

Boss: "Kenny, even you.."

Riki chuckled and shook his head in amusement.

Riki: "Be nice to the old man, guys. We should be trying to figure out what and why this happened."

Kenshi: "And how."

Hiro: "Mhm! Let's go downstairs."

Guys: "Alright."

The guys walked downstairs and Kenshi set (Y/N) on the ground, watching as she started running around the place, giggling away. Hiro was the first to talk as they made their way back to their seats.

Hiro: "Should we phone Jenny about thi.."

Hiro stopped walking as well as the others. They all looked at each other as something had clicked into them.

Each of them suddenly had a flashback to when they were unexpectedly turned into little boys, almost trashing LRN.

To be fair, they did though, not gonna lie.

And the cause of it was..

Hiro: "Jenny."

Hiro breathed out the name of the woman who started that previous mess, the others nodding slightly. Kenshi bit his bottom lip in thought and shook his head.

Kenshi: "Can't be though. She left quite a while ago. How could she have even..?"

Riki: "Apparently, (Y/N) and Boss said that we opened a box, and in it was some potion shit that turned us into boys."

Takuto: ".. And she was playing with a box when we found her."

Takuto said slowly, eyeing (Y/N) as she tried to climb up the stool that was next to him. His eyes widened when she slipped and he quickly reached out, catching her.

Takuto: "Careful you idiot. What if you fell on your head? Then you'll be stupider than you were before!"

(Y/N): "Hehe, you caught me, Takkun~!"

(Y/N) exclaimed happily as she ignored his rude statement, her arms wrapping around Takuto's neck, pulling herself closer to him.

Takuto: "W-what the hell, girl?! Get off!"

(Y/N) shook her head stubbornly and giggled, not loosening her grip on him.

Takuto gave up and sat back in his seat with (Y/N) in his arms, feeling too tired to even try. There was no point, especially when it seemed like she turned from a little girl, into a koala.

Riki chuckled at the sight.

Riki: "As amusing as this is, we should probably figure out what happened, and if Jenny is really the culprit."

Hiro: "I can call her."

Hiro walked away with a phone in his hand.

Riki: "We need to figure this out soon. But we also need to take care of (Y/N)."

Kenshi: "We can't really do both, can we?"

Riki: "Well, it would be a little tough to. But either way, we need to fix this before tomorrow's mission."

Kenshi: "Damn.."

(Y/N)'s POV

I watched as the guys go back and forth, giggling when they made funny faces as they talked.

Hiro the Hero: "Jenny, are you sure you don't know about this?"

JJ: "I admit I was the one who changed you guys into boys. But I swear it wasn't me this time."

Rikkun: "You really don't know anything about this?"

JJ: "I swear."

Takkun: "Then who the hell would do this then?"

Rikkun: "Like I said, either way, we need to figure this out and fast. We're all playing a part in tomorrow's mission. We need everyone. And Boss is too old and crummy to help us."

Beardy: "I'm not old and crummy.. I just don't wanna slow you guys down during the mission."

Rikkun: "Yeah right."

Beardy: "But hey, maybe I can watch (Y/N)!"

Takkun: "Hell no."

Beardy: "Why not?"

Rikkun: "You're an old geezer, figure it out."

Beardy: "Hey! I'm not that kind of person!"

Kenny: "Haha.. Guys, focus?"

Beardy: "Alright, alright. Who will watch (Y/N) as we try to figure this out at least?"

Hiro the Hero: "Maybe.. We should ask her?"

The guys all looked at me.

Rikkun: "Who do you want to watch over you, (Y/N)?"

JJ: "Maybe we should just let her boyfriend watch over her. Cause if we all know him well, and we do, it wouldn't sit well with him if it's not him that's watching over her."

I tapped my chin with an index finger, looking between all of them as I listened.

It would be fun with any of them, but JJ is right. Who I want the most is..

Who?

Riki

Takuto

Kenshi

Hiro

And that's the end of the prologue ;) Be sure to choose who you want to be with! :D
