A Worthy Playmate {Jack-Jack, Dash}

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

The three princes of ancient Scotland's respect towards, and listening to, authority figures, like the many Cast Members about, was still about as good as it was when they first got here. Poor. Not even the skeleton lady's attempt at curbing them had made any sort of dent, and since she was not their mother they didn't recall any of her good advice.

It was still a shame she'd been stuffy; she, as a skeleton, would have been so much more amazing if she hadn't been!

Oh well, fake skeleton props did. The three were currently engaged in something that was a cross between throwing the Pirates of the Caribbean prop skeleton skulls they had snapped off between them in keep away and...three person juggling.

Hubert giggled, and rushed further out so Hamish could pitch one of the skulls further than when they'd all been standing in the display and dirt patch the props had been placed in. His brother threw it with both of his tiny hands, and Hubert jumped up to catch it, but it rolled away. Then one Harris threw whacked him in the head, but he shook it off as they all three did with mishaps, and rushed over to pick up the first of the rolled skulls, pitching it back.

[Deleted]

Zzt! Suddenly, a ginger baby floated through the wall with a giggle until he blinked in surprise upon his tiny hands catching something in the air, the skull that he thought was a ball that made him squeal excitedly, especially at the sound of the other kids below him having fun. With a happy gurgle, he shoved the skull against his mouth in attempts to bite it, like he mostly did to anything he found interesting. Unfortunately, he was unable to control his powers and floated straight through the white mast, crashing into it and thankfully cushioning his fall. Upon blinking his blue eyes opened in confusion, he noticed that he was draped like he was under a blanket, which in reality was the mast that seemed to cover him after crashing into him. Jack-Jack attempted to stand up, appearing like a humorous tiny ghost just as the bellowing voice boomed: DEAD MAN TELL NO TALES!

Unfortunately, Jack-Jack lost his balance and wobbled down until he sat down again. "Mmn.." He lifted his tiny arms to try to get the blanket off of him, but was unable to. Unfortunately, this mast blanket was not cleaned out as frequently, so it was only a matter of time the dust would cause him to sneeze if he stayed underneath it much longer..

(Hope this is okay! I could add to it if you want more to work with! Just send me a pm! <3 )

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

<<Just fine Similar with my rambling though. Let me know too>>

Hamish found another skull to throw right after the one he had just pitched to his brothers and turned to pick that one up, letting Hubert or Harris catch the first. Or it might have been the second put into play. Either way.

Harris meanwhile bent for the one he’d thrown and Hubert hadn’t caught. So it was the middle of the triplets (though even they at times forgot their birth order. They thought Hamish was oldest) who watched the skull’s path and noticed it never came back down to earth.

A flying baby caught it!

”L’uk!”, Hubert pointed out the phenomenon to his brothers. Hamish and Harris quickly glanced up just in time to see the baby drop, but not to know it was a baby.

The other two just saw a white sheet and a voice booming out about Dead Men. Other children might have been frightening; they were not. Well Harris looked a bit unsure.

”A Gh’ust!”, Hamish exclaimed.

”Nu! It’s a baby!”, Hubert rushed over to the ship to check on and check out the flying baby. How he knew it was a kid younger than them was perhaps just guessed out. People mistook them for toddlers more then preschoolers all the time.

Hamish and Harris quickly followed suit. If their brother said it was a baby, it was. Though a ghost was cooler.

Unless...

”How’d it get there?”, Harris asked as he lifted Hamish and Hubert up so Hubert could grab the ship and haul himself up, then his brothers.

”It’s a flying baby!”, Hubert said. This got the others attention and they quickly climbed up. Of course all this took so long that they soon heard a sneeze.

They didn’t think ghosts sneezed anyway.

Now on the deck, the three walked over as Hubert lifted up the sheet. ”Hullo flying baby!”. Hamish and Harris came around to have a peek too.

[Deleted]

Jack-Jack blinked up to find a gingered-haired boy that reminded him a bit of his own brother except with his own colored hair and that the boy was able to use his powers to multiply himself! "Bababa.." The one year old ginger tried to copy the word baby and giggled with a clasp of his hands. Then, in an instant, he multiplied himself 3 times, reproducing 3 replicas of Jack-Jack just like the boy had! All three Jack-Jacks happily got up on their tiny feet and walked underneath the blanket that the boys had lifted up with a happy gurgle, one of them walking over and bending over to pick up one of the skulls he had dropped in order to place it back in his mouth, while another one played with the cloth as if he were playing peek-a-boo, and the last Jack-Jack observing one of the boys, ready to copy the next interesting thing he might do!

(hope this is okay! I can add more if need be!)

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

The baby before them could have been a forgotten member of clan DunBroch, with his blue eyes and similar shade of hair. All three of the triplets blinked at him too even after Hubert gave his greeting. He babbled, maybe trying to speak, then...

It was a rare thing that would surprise King Fergus DunBroch's sons! But this did. The baby didn't even sneeze and he just...suddenly was more babies! Three of them!

Hubert glanced over to Hamish, who again they thought was the oldest, "Ye can't du' that can ye? 'un you forgot to say?", maybe that was how they were triplets, they just didn't know about the rejoining! Not even Hubert really thought this was true, but it was an interesting thought.

Hamish shook his head and then all three watched the three babies again. They could each watch one now! Hubert bent before the one chewing the skull, while Harris watched the one playing peek-a-boo, next joining in on the game by covering and uncovering his own eyes, while Hamish watched the one watching him. He then sneezed, not on purpose, just did.

[Deleted]

"Da!" The Jack-Jack clone with the skull threw it at the older ginger boy just like he had seen the boy throw it back and forth to each other before, wanting to copy them and play the game, too. The other baby clone was giggling contently at the game of hide and seek with the blanket, continuing the game with him and still laughing as if it were the first time. The easily amused baby could do this all day! The original Jack Jack was observing the third ginger boy next to him, copying the older boy's movements and even pretended to sneeze with a "Bbff!" noise, before giggling at the funny sound he made.

Unfortunately, the flapping of the blanket in playing hide and seek actually did cause Jack-Jack to sneeze for real this time. FWOOSH! The baby clones suddenly merged together and he instantly zoomed up several feet in the air like a rocket before he began to fall straight down again, head first. Before the baby could hit the floor this time, the ginger tot recalled how the strong man with long hair saved him just before falling and stopped himself from falling just about 3 feet away from his head hitting the floor, actually suspending himself in the air by floating upside down, holding his tiny feet in the air as he did.

Watching the boys and everything upside down greatly amused the baby, causing him to unleash a squeal of delight as he pointed and laughed at the funny faces everyone had. Turning himself to the side, he was able to land on his hands and feet safely on the ground again. "Buh.." He glanced around a little disoriented as he adjusted to seeing the world right side up again. "Bugah.." He tried to stand up, but wobbled and then sat down again. Jack-Jack balled up little fist and rubbed his eyes to get himself reoriented, blinking up at the three clones with a broad grin that bared his four little teeth."Ehn.." The baby garbled as he suddenly grew a large tuft of ginger hair over his head as he attempted to look just like he were a part of the triplets!

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

The baby threw the skull (a fake skull though even if it had been a real one it probably wouldn't have phased any of the three) and Hubert scrambled to catch it half off instinct! He succeeded, but then succeeded in just dropping it, not that he let that detour him, and he got the fact that the baby wanted in on the game, so picking it up again he grinned and tossed it to the other clone.

Harris' current clone companion kept giggling excitedly every time he covered and uncovered his eyes his own self with the blanket, and around doing the same with just his hands, the young prince giggled as well. This kid was cool! All three of them! The baby with Hamish only pretended to sneeze, but still got a giggle from the older triplet for it!

Then, he really sneezed, and merging, zoomed up into the air! Three pairs of blue eyes watched him go up and then come back down, Harris and Hubert making an unsure dart out to try to catch the baby as he looked like he was coming down fast! He stopped himself, and their reaching hands were not needed, and just stayed there as they watched! Hamish too! The baby floated, giggling at them, and then plopped back to his hands and knees. All three bent to look at him as he tried to stand, sitting back down, and then rubbing at his eyes.

He soon faced them again, giggling and babbling and then...

He already looked a little like them, but now his whole face looked more like them! "Woa!", the three blinked at each other next, then faced the baby with a smile. "Yer one a' us!", Hubert said happily, or if he was not he now was! He bent over and hugged the baby, Harris and Hamish joining in before they stood back. "Come 'un!", Hubert attempted picking the baby up, gently, and walking off with him, but he was so close to their own size! Still, they knew travel wouldn't be a problem, not for him! He could float!

"We'll name ye later!", Hamish said happily, and knew they had to come up with something with a H, like them.

[Deleted]

"Yer one a' us!"

"Ba..!" The now fourth Scottish looking clone, Jack-Jack, gurgled excitedly at the enthusiastic tone that the boy used, parting his mouth opened to reveal his four teeth in his wide grin. Suddenly, one of the clones bent down and hugged him, which caused him to blink his large blue eyes in surprise before feeling the other two clones follow along and hug him. "Mmn!" The one year old cooed upon feeling the warmth of the hug that felt so familial to him, being reminded of his older brother or his sister, or even his parents hugging him like that. For the baby, with no concept of time, it felt like it had been too long since he had last felt that kind of embrace.

One of the ginger clones soon picked him up and carried him as he walked next to the other two brothers, causing the newest quadruplet looking baby to giggle in amusement. The one year old always liked to be picked up, but this was the first time where he was not picked up so high off the ground, so it made him laugh. As he watched at things moving passed him, his blue eyes caught the picture of the icecream sandwich cookie on an icecream cart that caused him to utter an excited squeal before pointing at the icecream cart with his tiny finger. "Nommmmnommmm.." He began to gurgle words as he pointed at the cookie in his attempts to tell his newfound older brothers that seemed to have adopted him. Despite previous experiences in which money was a consequence of not getting certain items here, the one year old still had no concept of money, and he thought he could just have it if he asked for it. He hoped his brothers would want some too!

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

As Hubert waddled along with their new brother, Hamish and Harris kept an eye on how it was going and whether he was slipping or their middle triplet in need of help. He had it though, and they continued along until their new brother, of all of them, noticed the cookie ice-cream truck first!

See, he was just so perfect an addition! The three turned and looked at the truck.

"Ye wanna' snack?", Hubert asked. For being 'one of them' now, he was younger and so the three got that it was at least their job to help him out and watch him; like Merida did for them! When she was here.

The three walked over to the cart, but not too close, since they still needed to hide for their plan to work. "Ok", Hamish bent down to the baby, "The cookies are in there", he pointed to the door in the cart that the man was standing in front of. "Float up an' get 'em!", he encouraged happily, but not too loudly and waited.

Their new brother could float. They had seen him.

Of course he would need a covering distraction, and all three of the princes knew the best ones. Harris was the one convinced to do it this time, and he readily agreed, walking over to the middle of the concrete and then screaming at the top of his lungs like the world was ending and he had lost his mother. She was back home he knew. He was just faking so the baby could float and get the ice-cream without the man there.
Several adults turned and the cart runner did dart over, "What's wrong little fella?".

Harris blubbered nonsense and wiped his eyes and pointed in a random direction, then squealed and pointed in the opposite one as the man tried to touch his shoulder comfortingly, just trying to confuse him as long as he could.

"Ok, float!", Hubert whispered again, glancing down to the baby he still held and telling him the coast was clear.

[Deleted]

The Scottish quadruplet look-a-like, Jack-Jack, grinned happily with a giggle upon seeing the happy reactions of his adopted brothers. He watched as they neared the cart that he had pointed at earlier.  "Bawamasnah!" He gurgled excitedly, so happy that his adopted brothers wanted to eat the cookies too! They were just as fun as his older brother Dash was in eating yummy stuff!

Jack-Jack glanced over at what one of the triplets was pointing at just as he said the word "cookies," which Jack-Jack understood quite well. With the gesture and the familiar word, Jack-Jack understood that the cookies were in there, much like the cookies hide in a box sometimes. The best cookies were out of the box though. "Euh?" Jack Jack tilted his head curiously when the triplets said a word that he did not understand. He never heard the word float before, nor was given any indication for what they could mean.

Unfortunately, the slightly older toddlers seemed to do something next that was beyond Jack-Jack's comprehension. The one year old quadruplet blinked his large eyes in surprise and parted his small mouth in confusion when one of the triplets suddenly broke into tears. "Mmn.." He wore a confused frown tugging on his little lips, not understanding why one of his brothers was crying.

However, all that confusion instantly went away when the two other brothers did not seem to be sad, and told him the same word that did not understand. "Mlam?" He gurgled with a puzzled expression and stuck his hand in his mouth. That was when he realized that he was still hungry for the cookies. Vwoosh! In an instant, the baby suddenly disappeared out of thin air from one of the triplet's arms and blinked when the ginger baby found himself in another altered reality. Jack-Jack giggled at how funny everything seemed in the altered reality before he suddenly found himself appearing in the cart full of boxes of cookies. "Da!" He gurgled excitedly in his triumph from inside the cart and tried to bite on the box, using his teeth to chew through the box container with ease to get to the cookies inside. However, Jack-Jack didn't understand that he also needed to get out and was not given an indication to understand that he needed to do so. 

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

Things were still going good with Harris and the confused man, in fact many of the adults were now chattering and trying to help, while Harris expertly both shied away from a lady picking him up, and kept the cute angle working for maximum distracting, including looking like he wanted picked up...before running away.

Meanwhile, Hamish noticed that their newest brother seemed confused by what he had said, beyond cookie (he'd clapped like he knew that one). "Uh...fly!", he tried another word, only sounding excited, and flapping his arms like a bird, to try to further get the point across.

It didn't seem to be working though, since their new brother (who Hamish thought Hedd might be a good name for) stuck his hand in his mouth and chewed his fingers next.

Hamish glanced up to Hubert, who just shrugged. What did they do now?

The oldest triplet next sighed, and for the first time felt the frustration akin to what Mom or Merida might feel when dealing with them and when they didn't understand or listen to an order. As part of the set of youngest kids, he'd never had to feel responsible or frustrated like that, and not when Hubert and Harris understood any made up plans intuitively.

It was a short lived feeling though. 'Hedd' next disappeared!

"Hedd!", Hamish shouted, and glanced around for the baby.

Hubert, who had just been holding him, blinked at his arms that now held nothing!

"Oh...tha's what I decided tae' call him", Hamish quickly explained to Hubert as he continued glancing around for the baby. The other just nodded. Sounded like a good name to him.

Harris dropped his act and ran over, where had he gone?!

They all soon heard the baby from inside the ice cream truck! All three triplets rushed over, Hamish pressing his ear to the box. "He's in there!", he said. Harris instantly climbed on top of Hubert to try to reach the lid, Hamish rushing over to block in case any of the adults tried to get in the way.

Harris pulled himself up onto the lid, and knocked on the metal. "Baby?"

"We're callin' him Hedd!", Hubert supplied.

"Hedd!", Harris instantly went with it, "Hold on, I'll get ye 'ut!". He crawled over to the lid, to try to lift it.

[Deleted]

"Baby?"


"Papapapamm!" Jack-Jack's gurgle declared inside the icecream box with an echo, hitting the box against the metal walls of the container that he found himself in upon hearing a knock against the wall from the other side. He then began to hit the box against the wall when suddenly the cookie came out, causing him to squeal in delight. "EEE!!" He uttered excitedly with a toothy glee, and proceeded to eat the cookie, stuffing it in his mouth and causing quite a mess with the snack and his drool. Suddenly, he heard some yelling from the outside that caused him to feel a little nervous. It sounded like his adopted brothers, but he did not understand the word they were repeating. The sound of worry that he heard being uttered from his brothers though, was enough for him to start to whine fearfully. What if something happened to them from the outside? "Mamamama!" He cried for his mother as his blue eyes eyed the metal walls around him.

"Hold on, I'll get ye 'ut!".

It was when he thought he heard the words "out" that the one year old felt trapped now. "Mmmmn!" His little eyebrows narrowed and he suddenly expanded his little body inside the container until he broke through it with his head, his body not being able to feel a thing and not even having so much as a scratch with his father's durability. He was able to get himself out the more he began to expand, grabbing onto his adopted brothers into his hands as he did so. As soon as he blinked, he found himself outside several feet tall and very fat, though enough for him to stand and be moveable. "Mumumuh.." He uttered softly with a soft whimper, still not sure what happened, before he blinked down curiously into his hand to find his adopted brothers and opened his hands with the palms facing up for them to be able to be moveable. "Gabamm.." The sight of his adopted brothers calmed him a little. With another hand, he grabbed a handful of the icecream cookies and brought them over to his brothers in the other hand as a sign of apology. 

"Help! Someone!" 

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

They could still hear noises as Harris asked out after their newly tagged brother, Hedd. He babbled something. They had to get him out before he got scared! Unknown to all three of the princes, this had already happened, and mostly due to their own actions and words. Harris backed away from the lid as he heard...something...it didn't sound good.

Hubert and Hamish followed suit and did the same, all three glancing at the metal as it expanded and then, before they could think to scramble down the box was...gone! They flew up and to the side but were soon caught in enormous hands. All three blinked up at the person. It was Hedd! He was now as tall as their father's castle maybe! All three blue eyes went wide. Then they glanced to the ice-cream their awesome new brother brought over.

Each grabbed at least one thing to start eating.

"Wow! What else can ye do?!", Hamish asked stunned, and around a bite. The now very far away adults calling for help down below went past their notice, and unlike them they weren't scared a bit. For one they had been raised hearty, and also it was just Hedd still.

[Dash Parr]

Dashiell Robert Parr was feeling very pleased with himself! It...was why he should have known something was going to go wrong with this day...

And not that at first it looked like it at all. No, he was just heading out to pick up something Mom had ordered; he only had to go to the shop, pick it up, and bring it home. Simple! As for Jack-Jack missing, the family hadn't exactly figured that out yet, and Mom thought Dad had him...or some sort of confusion.

Anyway, cutting through Adventureland, and reminding himself that he didn't have time for rides, Dash was all set the get to the shop he needed when a commotion paused him.

"Look out!"

"Oh my...What is it?!!"

People, running in a panic?! It must have been a Super Villain! But Dash was a normal boy...

Darting behind a nearby cart, where no one was, Dash quickly changed to reveal his Super suit underneath and put on his mask. He then rushed the other way and towards what the people were running from. "Don't worry folks! I got this!", Dash sped over and then quickly put on the brakes and as he saw the commotion starter...

"Jack-Jack?!", Dash exclaimed stunned. His brother was huge! And walking along seemingly unconcerned with...three kids in his hand!

Oh no, no, no, no, no!

Dash realized that if Jack-Jack got upset, now, it would be really really bad. He had to deal with this calmly. Thankfully he was in his suit if he had to do anything powers related and to help his brother and the kids.

Dash rushed over to be in front of Jack-Jack, "Jack-Jack, hey!", he called, and was only loud to get his brother's attention, but kept his voice calm, "Uh...whatcha doing?", not that Jack-Jack talked yet...

Just keep the conversation calm...somehow get him to come down to normal height...

[Deleted]

"Wow! What else can ye do?!"

"Ba ba ba ba!" After smiling when his adopted brothers happily took some icecream, the enlarged John Jackson Parr couldn't help but form a smug little smirk on his face upon hearing his brothers say that! He definitely understood that much, and he definitely liked compliments and positive attention. Showing powers was something he was good at, just like his big brother and his big sister in the house! Unfortunately, his attention fell quite literally down at the people screaming frantically for help, which caused him to whimper slightly, making him slowly upset. It was like he was a bad guy in the cartoon shows, and he wasn't a bad guy!  "Mmn..!" The giant chubby baby uttered a whimper from the frown he wore on his face, with his expression that looked as if he would cry at any moment. 

Suddenly, however, the baby giant's expression changed when he saw a familiar face zooming over. His blue eyes widened upon noticing that it was his big brother down below! His frown suddenly turned into a gleeful smile. "Dah!" The one year old giant bellowed contently from his great height. He understood what his brother had said, and he dropped the remaining icecream from his hand down in front of Dash to demonstrate what he had been up to. "Wamasnah!" He repeated the words that he recalled his adopted triplet brothers saying when they asked if he wanted a snack, maybe his older brother would want some too! With his freed hand no longer holding icecream, he stuffed his hand into his mouth, creating a line of drool seeping from his lips that threatened to drop onto the floor. 

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

Their new brother smiled, before frowning as people ran away. "Aww, dun worry", Hubert pat his arm, somehow getting perhaps more so than others would that he was upset because he thought he'd scared them or something. The preschoolers were very close to the baby's age anyway, and could sort of recall when they were babies.

They'd made Maudie scream a few times too even then! But then...Maudie also screamed a lot...

"Jack-Jack?!"

As the three tried to calm Hedd, someone else rushed up and exclaimed this. Who was Jack-Jack? Hamish had a suspicion and frowned, Oh no, he was here to steal him back! Well that was just no fun!

"We named him Hedd!", he informed the older boy.

"Yeah, an' he's so fun! Can we keep him, please", Hubert at least understood that when they were talking about a real person he had to ask, unlike with cakes! The three princes' code of honor was made up by themselves, but a bit influenced by what their mother would advise and...they were childish, wild, Scottish princes, subject to no one but their mother and maybe father...but they weren't brutes.

"Ye could come with!", Harris added. Why not! So long as he wasn't not fun!

[Dash Parr]

Jack-Jack seemed to say his name, if the sound Dash often heard from his brother in connection to him, was such.

"Yeah, it's me...", Dash began, then dodged the ice cream dropped. Maybe that was an answer to his actual question...

The blonde Super glanced back up, but then one of the kids in his brother's grip spoke.

"We named him Hedd!"

What? Named him?! Hedd?

"Yeah, an' he's so fun! Can we keep him, please"

"What?!", Dash blinked up at the kid, "N-no!"

"Ye could come with!"

Dash frowned, "No! You can't have him! He's mine! Ours!", he told the boys, forgetting what he'd previously reminded himself about avoiding conflict. Dash then sighed, and took a step back in the situation. They were little kids, he could tell. "Look I agree, he's super fun...", he began, "But you can't have him, he has a Mom, who will be super sad if he's gone, and his Dad and sister, and me!".

"Jack-Jack...", he went back to appealing to his brother, "Ok, put the other kids down...good baby...and come down here and we'll talk...". Of course as soon as his brother was normal sized he was going to grab him and run and let the other three deal with it...or maybe they could come along and he would let Mom decide what to do with them.

[Deleted]

Jack-Jack smiled innocently as Dash and the triplets began their little tug-of-war argument. He was blissfully unaware of what was going on, but it reminded him of how it was between Violet and Dash, so the enlarged one year old was feeling pretty at home right now. "Mamamama...! "The baby giant echoed upon hearing the word, then brought his freed hand to rub his eyes as he began to bellow a whine again simply because he missed his mother.

"Jack-Jack"

The large one year old softened his whine and blinked at the recognition of his name and then stared down at his older, smaller brother quizzically. Jack-Jack wasn't sure what the whole sentence meant, but his older brother mentioned the word "down," which he understood enough to suddenly sit down on his pampered bottom underneath his red onesie and then gently lowered his triplet friends down to the floor. He liked putting things where they belonged, like blocks, or garbage back in the trash can. He was a superhero after all!

"..good baby.."

The giant Jack-Jack smiled brightly with his four-toothed grin then wiggled his little feet, causing the ground beneath to tremble from his excitement. He liked hearing the word "Good," and a smug smile formed on his face, feeling pretty proud of himself. Unfortunately, the baby was at a loss for what "come down" meant. He was already sitting down in front of him! Jack-Jack was trying really hard to understand what his brother wanted, so much so, that his concentration caused him to trigger his abilities and he suddenly disappeared! At least, that's how it would have seemed, except that he was as small as an ant on the black pavement! 

"Mmn!" The tiny Jack-Jack cooed excitedly with a gleam in his blue eyes upon suddenly finding himself in a world of ginormous icecream right in front of him! With his attention distracted away from what he meant to do, which was to go to his brother, the minuscule baby boy began walking towards the icecream pile greedily, not realizing that he was easily susceptible to being squished by the pedestrian tourists walking around! 

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

The older boy seemed frustrated by their answer and question.

"No! You can't have him! He's mine! Ours!"

Three identical pouts. Well this was the saddest day ever! He didn't even say yes to just going along with them, which would solve all the problems!

"Look I agree, he's super fun...But you can't have him, he has a Mom, who will be super sad if he's gone, and his Dad and sister, and me!"

Again, the boys were only selfish because they were five-year olds who didn't ponder very far in their "schemes" or pondering. Even now, Hamish was still putting up a determined front, until Hubert (after a glance at Harris) poked his arm. Glancing over, the eldest triplet (they all thought, though it didn't matter) noticed that look on both of his brother's faces!

It was like when they almost lost Mom to being a bear...well they would have been bears too, maybe they almost lost Merida and Da' either-way!

It was not like that at all! Hamish would defend.

Hedd echoing what was probably saying his mom's name didn't help. Hamish sighed and all three sort of admitted...half-defeat as they were lowered by Hedd or Jack or whatever his name was sitting. Now they had to face the blonde kid.

All three glanced at each-other, then Hamish sighed. "Alright...", he began.

"hey he's gu'ne!", Hubert suddenly exclaimed. Hamish turned to where his brothers were looking at a bare spot of sidewalk!

[Dash Parr]

The three boys in Jack-Jack's grip all pouted at his determined statement, Dash saw it even from here. He groaned and rubbed at his face; not that he was in any way thinking of relenting and giving them Jack-Jack, but he recognized they were little kids who kind of didn't know any better and...

When did being the Older Brother get so hard? He was the Middle. He was supposed to enjoy the perks of being a bit attention grabbing and not having any actual responsibility!

"Mamamama...! "

Jack-Jack gurgled. Dash glanced to him again. This was how to do it, yeah, just mention Mom again...within reason. Dash waited until Jack-Jack glanced to him again to go on with his soothing words. Or attempted soothing. How effective would be seen, but Jack-Jack sat down! Yes! Ok, so he had this.

The three younger kids were standing before him sort of sheepishly now that they were put down. As a Super, Dash supposed he should see if they had guardians themselves, but his focus was mainly on Jack-Jack right now...who one of the kids said was gone!

"What? Oh!", Dash slapped his forehead, realizing what had happened of course. The small power. Great.

"No one move!", he told the three kids, "He's here, he's just small as an ant!".

Dash went down on his hands and knees (carefully) and began scanning the ground. "Jack-Jack? Jack-Jack?".

A woman walked a bit too close to where they were for Dash's liking. "Hey!", he zoomed over and....lifted/pulled her out of the way rather than pushed, but still she looked shocked and a bit offended. "Sorry, closed off area...close the area!", he shouted to the triplets, before going back (carefully) to try to look for his brother again.

[Deleted]

With his large blue eyes on the prize - or in this case a ginormous pile of icecream - mini Jack-Jack walked over with his little arms extended out towards it. Ginormous icecream was truly a sight to behold for a little baby. If only you could be as tiny as him to experience it. Just as he was able to touch it, he tilted his head towards the icecream and opened his mouth to bite onto it through the wrapping that was over it. Already, the drool was seeping out of his little mouth in anticipation for how delicious the giant icecream would be. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard that caused Jack-Jack to blink several times in confusion, causing him to stop what he was doing.

It was only then that he realized that he was starting to miss playing with his three fake brothers, and his real brother! As he veered his little ginger head, more booming noises were soon heard. The next booming noise he heard was so nearby, however, it caused the ground he stood on to quake enough for the tiny baby to lose balance and fall on his pampered bottom. "Buh?" The miniscule Jack-Jack uttered in confusion upon hearing a convoluted mess of loud noises that were hard to distinguish from his shrunken state. He never once bothered to listen for all the noises in this tiny state, so wrapped up in his attention on one thing all the time when he did have this power.

Jack-Jack wobbled over to walk, though the booming noises were making the ground quake every so often that it was hard to really move very far without falling down again. Eventually, he was able to make it a few paces away from the icecream pile when he fell to his bottom again upon feeling the floor vibrate again. Then, he saw two big, black thing slamming onto the ground, heading towards a direction. It almost stepped on him if he hadn't moved from that spot. This was similar to what it felt like in one of the dimensions he had visited. He'd tell you, even the dimension number, if only he could. Jack-Jack wasn't fully aware of numbers, though he did start understanding the pattern of 1, 2, 3 by the intonation that people often used to produce those sounds, especially when his mommy played him and his toys. 

"Mmmmnn!!" Thinking of his mommy, the tiny Jack-Jack began to wail for his mommy again. His loud cries only stopped when he noticed the booming noises seemed to clear, no longer causing the ground to vibrate as much. There was a bit of a vibration, which caused him to look up. It took him some time to recognize, before he brightened up to a toothy smile upon realizing who it was. "Dah!" He pointed to Dash with a giggle. Jack-Jack didn't change back to his normal size though, currently too excited to see his brother presently to focus on what his next plan would be. Jack-Jack was too young to plan ahead.

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

Jack-Hed's (Ok, his name couldn't be Hed, the three were realizing) brother didn't seem as surprised as he should that the baby disappeared. Upset, yes, but not seemingly stunned by it.

"No one move! He's here, he's just small as an ant!"

Hubert looked more surprised now. Even after all they'd seen Ant seemed a new thing, and he took it a bit literally that he was an ant now.

"Did ye run into a witch tu'?", he asked even as the older boy went down on hands and knees to look for the baby. After all they'd seen, they should stop blaming witches for everything similar to when they'd been turned into bears, but it was still just so logical and convenient an answer.

Trying to not move too much, the three glanced around also.

"I bet if we were bears we cu'ld smell 'im", Hamish added to his brothers; not that he would go back to being bears just for that, but still.

A woman walked a bit close, and the older boy rushed over really quickly to move her to the side! "Woa!", Harris looked impressed, along with Hamish and Hubert.

[Dash Parr]

Dash wished he had rope, or something, to make the perimeter a bit easier to distinguish, and even then he was guessing at where Jack-Jack was and would move to. He continued to scan the ground, starting to, in earnest, wonder how the "Jack-Jack shrunk and I couldn't find him" conversation would go with Mom...

Around this the three ancient boys talked.

"Did ye run into a witch tu'?"
"I bet if we were bears we cu'ld smell 'im"

These were some pretty weird kids...

Maybe all 'old kids' were.

But Dash didn't have time or focus to really even answer them. Wait...he had heard something! Dash listened again. It had sounded like Jack-Jack's form of crying, or babbled crying even.

"Dah!"

Maybe it was this, or just luck (though Dash would go with the first), but he next spotted his brother. "Jack-Jack! Hey!", he didn't yell, but did sound his usual excited, and maybe that might still be too loud. "Com'er", Dash held out a hand, and gently scooped Jack-Jack over to his black gloved hand, but watching for any other powers.

At any rate he'd found him, and grinned, "Ok, let's go home". He then noticed the other three again. Mom wouldn't want him leaving unattended little kids without checking if they had anyone to watch them. "Come on, you three can come with", he told them.

[Deleted]

Jack-Jack smiled brightly when Dash greeted him, not perceiving his loudness for a threat given how much he was used to his older brother's enthusiasm. He gurgled in amusement when he was promptly scooped up into his older brother's black gloved hands. As he sat down on the gloved hands, the baby in his red super jumpsuit gazed down at the material of his brother's gloved hands with an intrigued gurgle, before he peered around curiously for the sight of his triplets and smiled at them.

"Ok, let's go home"

The ginger haired baby knew what that meant! Instantly, Jack Jack turned back to his normal size, but still being held by his older brother. ""Guhmm!"  Jack-Jack enthusiastically uttered to echo the word "go" but then it got jumbled up with the word "home."  "Buh?" He turned his head to gaze at the triplets, to see if they'd copy too, still thinking that they were clones and not really understanding that they were entirely separate given that Jack-Jack's own clones would do separate things as well. If he liked to copy things, then the triplets did too! That was why they were like his own brothers!

[Hamish/Hubert/Harris]

The bigger boy could claim he hadn't run into a witch all he wanted, but the way he found his brother so fast, and with him so little, it was impressive and he probably had! Only after he'd scooped Hed up (who was so tiny now!) did the three notice the problem and how he was going to now just go away with their newest triplet brother (they didn't know about counting or care about technical terms like one more making them not triplets anymore)!

But Dash surprised them, turning to offer for them to come too!

The three grinned, it wasn't so bad, gaining two brothers (and Hed turned back to normal size even!), they supposed...before they realized there were probably parents to this equation...

All parents except their own were no good, and...well they had to tolerate their own. And loved them they supposed.

They glanced to each-other unsure, but then Jack-Hed's encouraging gurgles won them over. Hubert shrugged, Hamish and Harris following suit and all three trailed after the older boy.
