The hunt was on in the Slender Mansion to find the younger version of KageKao, who had gotten away with the one item that could turn all the children Creepypasta back to their normal age!

Some of the kids even pitched in to help catch the prankster; they would run about all around the upstairs area, searching in rooms and under beds. (Y/N), Jane, and BEN stuck together, being the only three who were of normal age in the mansion. Kid Masky had tagged along with them, offering his aid in their search.

"What an asshole," BEN muttered, shaking his head, "Even though he's a little kid now, Kage is still such an as-"

"Watch your mouth BEN-if Nina or one of the others hear you say those words, they'll shame you..." Masky warned; he had already been called out for cursing before. BEN rolled his eyes and bent down to check underneath the bed of KageKao's room.

"He's not in his closet either," Jane sighed, shutting the closet door and turning to the others. (Y/N) sighed deciding to search out of KageKao's room. She tried to think of all the places the trickster would usually hide, but none in particular came to mind.

She walked out into the hall where the other kid pastas were still searching. "Dwid you find Kage-Cows yet?" Kid Hoodie asked, looking up at (Y/N) curiously as she passed by him. "Not yet buddy, but we will soon. He's hiding somewhere."

"I wanna help!"

The young version of Hoodie quickly stumbled after her, trying not to trip over his own feet. "Can I get on your back?"

(Y/N) sighed and turn to the child, gently picking him up and allowing him to get to her back. He giggled as he wrapped his arms around her neck and kicked his legs excitedly. "You alright up there Hoodie?"

"Yes, let's wook for Kage-cows now!"

Just as (Y/N) was about to start walking with Hoodie aboard, she was stopped by something that had grabbed ahold of her leg, and she turned behind her to see. "It's not fair!" She saw the kid version of Candy Pop clinging to her leg, keeping her from moving. "I want to ride up there too!" He pointed up at Hoodie.

"Maybe you can get a turn after, okay?" (Y/N) tried to assure the young jester, but he wouldn't let go and kept crying. "It's not fair it's not fair it's not fair!!!"

(Y/N) sighed heavily and slowly removed Hoodie from her back, putting him down and then taking ahold of both his and Candy Pop's hand. "Why don't we all just walk together, okay?"

"B-But I thought I was gowing to wide on your back?" Hoodie whimpered. He brought his hands up to his masked face and began sobbing, and Candy Pop tried to climb on (Y/N). "This is hopeless," (Y/N) muttered, bending to try and calm Hoodie down. She rubbed his head and removed his hands from his face, assuring him with comforting words to make the child silence his crying. In the midst of doing that, she felt the weight of someone on her back and she grumbled, forgetting that Candy was trying to get on.

"Come on Candy, get off and I'll give you a ride later," She tried to get him to listen, but the kid shook his head and held to her tightly, "I don't want to!"

(Y/N) frowned, resorting to just giving up at this point, and she let Candy Pop stay on her back. She then picked up Hoodie in her arms and held him in front of her. Good thing she had become a bit stronger in her time growing as a proxy.

Carrying the two children with her, (Y/N) began looking around for JageKao again, this time searching downstairs. Few Creepypasta kids were down there, playing around with each other, and the baby ones were either crawling around or napping.

"Has any of you seen KageKao anywhere?" (Y/N) asked aloud. "Look in the trash," kid Laughing Jack snickered, and the other kids began laughing at his comment. (Y/N) rolled her eyes and head for the training room area. She head down the steps, careful to make sure that Candy was secure on her back and Hoodie in her arms. The lights were on in room, which most likely meant someone was in there since the lights were always turned off when none were present.

She looked around for a bit to see if she could catch the thief somewhere, but there was no sign of him. "Guess this place is clear then," (Y/N) mumbled to herself, beginning to head for the stairs again when she heard a loud "Hmph!" coming from one of the dark corners of the room.

"Whose there?" (Y/N) hissed, quickly turning to where the corner was. Candy and Hoodie held tighter to her in fear as (Y/N) slowly stepped towards the area. "Wh-What If it's a mwonster??? It's gonna attack us!" Hoodie shrieked, squeezing (Y/N)'s neck. "Ack-! Can't bReaTh-hOOdiE!" (Y/N) gasped, and quickly put him down on the ground. Candy jumped off of (Y/N)'s back and exclaimed, "don't worry! I'll protect us from the monster even though I'm a little scared!"

"Hey Candy Pop, Wait-!"

The child had already run off where the sound had come from and jumped on whoever was there, surprising them. "Oww! Get off meee!" The voice of the other cried, and they quickly ran from the spot towards (Y/N).

(Y/N) tilted her head and frowned, "Offender...kid?"

"He attacked me!" The younger version of Offender whined, pointing at Candy Pop. "I thought you were a monster like Hoodie said!" Candy defended himself, crossing his arms with a pout. (Y/N) looked down at Offender questioningly and asked, "What were you doing down here by yourself?"

Offender looked up at her and then huffed, crossing his arms and turning away. "No one wanted to play with me so I came here to be by myself," He grumbled.

"What do you mean by, 'play'?"

"No ones playing tag with me, or giving me any toys to play with, or even talking to me! Everyone's afraid of me for some reason and I don't know why!"

He uncrossed his arms and let out a saddened sigh, and (Y/N) felt sorry for the slender brother who seemed innocent and unaware of his horrible doings as an adult. "Come on Offender. If you want, you can help me, Hoodie and Candy Pop search for KageKao. Do you want to join us?" (Y/N) asked lightly.

Offender looked up with a wide smile, held his hands together excitedly at the offer, "Really!?"

(Y/N) nodded with a grin and Offender hugged her happily, "Thank you! Now I don't have to be all alone anymore!"

(Y/N) gently pat the top of his hat and he let go of her, already heading for the steps, "Let's go! Maybe we can find KageKao because I'm helping now."

"The only reason we're going to find KageKao is because of me," Candy Pop huffed, taking ahold on (Y/N)'s hand and trying to walk in front. "Am I going to find Kage-c-c-crayon...? too?" Hoodie questioned, stumbling over the pronunciation of the demon child's name.

"Yes, we all are-together. Now come on, let's go," (Y/N) said, taking Hoodie's hand as well and leading the two to the stairs. Offender bolted away as they got closer and waited for them at the door. "Come on!"

Once the four were upstairs in the main room, Kid Former ran up to (Y/N), jumping up and down, a gleeful look on his face. "Fwormer found Kageko! He's wight there!" The child turned and pointed to Laughing Jack, then grinned widely, proud of his 'find'.

"That's not KageKao, Former. That's LJ," (Y/N) sighed, and the little pasta tilted his head at her, "but (Y/N) sed he was bwack and white?"

"Yes, but that's a different person, you'll have to keep looking."

Former slumped his shoulders and stumbled back to the living room, his face now deprived of pride.

"I know," Offender spoke up, turning to (Y/N), "we should trick KageKao into coming to us. Let's get something he likes and try to...try to....u-um....."

He looked down as if trying to think of a word, and (Y/N) grinned, finishing his sentence for him, "try to lure him to us?"

"Yes!"

"That's a good idea. But the only thing I can think of that KageKao's likes is wine...and he's only a kid now..."

"Let's use it to lure him here, and then when he thinks he's gonna get it, we grab him!"

"Yep. Good thinking Offender."

"I was thinking it too!" Candy Pop exclaimed, "so it was my idea too."

(Y/N) rolled her eyes and lead her small group of kiddies back to KageKao's wine cellar to retrieve one of his stashed bottles of wine. "What are ya going in there for?" BEN asked as she passed by; he wasn't even searching anymore, instead he was sitting on KageKao's bed playing on DS.

"Why should it matter to you? You're not even looking for Kage," (Y/N) muttered, stepping into the cellar. She quickly retrieved one of the bottles of wine and then dashed out, not too fond of the dusty, cobweb filled area.

"Can I have some?" Hoodie immediately asked when she returned, pointing at the bottle. "No Hoodie, you can't until you're an adult again," (Y/N) replied, beginning to walking out of the room. Hoodie, Candy, and Offender followed her all the way to the kitchen where she opened the bottle and set it on the counter, hoping this plan would really get KageKao to come.

"Hey KageKao! Come get some of your wiiiiiiiiinnneeeeeee!!"

"Hey KageKao! Come and get some!" Offender shouted. "Come our come out wherever you are!" Candy Pop yelled. All the other Creepypasta children looked at them and then began calling out KageKao's name as well, until the whole mansion rang with the sound of children screeching his name.

"Stop it!! Leave me awone!!" A voice cried out above the rest, and (Y/N) saw KageKao coming out from somewhere he had been in Slender's Hall. His mask was an irritated frown as he stormed past everyone-the aging spray in hand!

"Hey Kage, give me that, and I'll give you this bottle of wine. You want it," (Y/N) cooed, holding it out to him. "Yes I want it! Here here!" He snapped, throwing the spray at (Y/N) and grabbing the bottle.

Right before he could take a sip, (Y/N) smirked and quickly sprayed KageKao, making him hiss and drop the bottle as reaction to the essence. The child version of KageKao slowly began to transform into his regular adult form, his height growing and his mask forming its normal gruesome horror-like features.

When Kage was done transforming, he looked around in confusion and then realization soon hit him of what had happened. "Well. I just want to say that I'm sorry-" He began, but (Y/N) turned away from him, already pissed and not ready to hear anything from him.

"Alright, Candy, Hoodie, Offender, you three come here," She ordered, and the three came to her, looking up at her eagerly. "Gosh, I'm really gonna miss you guys being little..."

"Are we gowing to be really big?" Hoodie asked, folding his hands behind his back. "Yeah you are, and then you'll go back to telling me what to do all the time. At least you're not as bad as a Masky," (Y/N) sighed, and she held the spray to Hoodie first, "Goodbye little guy..."

"Wait!" Hoodie exclaimed. He jumped at (Y/N) and hugged her tightly, murmuring, "Goodbye..."

"You're not going anywhere," (Y/N) chuckled, hugging him back. Once he let go, she backed up a bit and waited before spraying him with the essence, making him cringe and then lower to the floor as he began changing.

After a few seconds, the normal, fully grown Hoodie stood up to his feet and looked around. "What's....What?" He uttered, glaring at (Y/N) KageKao, and the other children that were around them.

"I'll explain-no wait-KAGEKAO will explain everything later. Just let me fix the rest of them," (Y/N) said, turning to Candy Pop and Offender. The two looked up at her and the spray and then each other. "Don't worry," (Y/N) assured them, "it doesn't hurt or anything, it'll be real quick."

They both slowly nodded and she sprayed them both with the essence, making them both grow into their regular forms. "I'mmmmmmmm back!" The normal Candy Pop exclaimed, but then frowned, "I'm back...what just happened?"

"I'm just as clueless as you," Offenderman stated, scratching his head. "Apparently, it had something to do with KageKao and I'm just waiting to hear what the hell he did to us," Hoodie remarked, crossing his arms as he glared at Kage. Kage nervously chuckled and began backing away from them. "I don't have time to deal with you right now, I have to take care of the others," (Y/N) growled walking away from them to where the other children were.

"Alright kiddies!" She exclaimed, immediately catching the attention of all the Creepypasta kids, "who wants to be apart of a magic trick?"

They all gasped and raised their hands eagerly, their eyes wide with excitement.

"ME!!!!!"

~
Once (Y/N) was through using the aging spray on everyone, the Creepypastas were all back to normal-no more in their juvenile forms. They were most all completely clueless to what had happened, while only few of them could actually remember since they were older than the rest.

"Your transgression will not be taken lightly! I'm so furious with you that I can't even explain my anger right now!" Slenderman was busy screaming at KageKao in the corner, his tendrils flaring wildly behind him and crease marks forming an angry look visible on his face.

(Y/N) watched KageKao get yelled at, a smirk on her face at seeing him get what he deserved. "I'm just glad this mess is all over with," Masky sighed from beside her, "it was absolutely humiliating being a little kid again."

"It was cute though, your voice was so high and squeaky..." Jane snickered, and (Y/N) nodded her head in agreement, "it was!"
Masky muttered a "whatever" and looked away, embarrassed.

"You all were, since I basically saw all of you as kids, including you Jane," (Y/N) said with a smirk, and Jane merely shrugged.

"I guess we can all say that it is my fault in a way," Trenderman spoke up from behind them, and (Y/N) turned to him. "Trender?"

"If baby Slender hadn't gotten ahold of that veil, KageKao would've never had the potion in his grasp," Trenderman said, "that's a fault on my part."

"Yeah, but it was worth it. Getting to see everyone as babies and all, telling Masky what to do-it was great while it lasted," (Y/N) chuckled, with a smile. "I'd have hopes that maybe in the future I can see everyone like that again."

Another chapter where they turn to kids? Or maybe where (Y/N) turns into one and they have to take care of her? You decide.
