Ana, walking into the room with a baby in her arms: Uh-

Lia: OH MY GODS WHEN DID YOU HAVE A CHILD???

Ana: I didn't!

Baby: Mama! *grabs at Ana's hands*

Markos: Uh...

James: It seems like it...

Ana: No! I found her!

Lia: Where? And why is she calling you Mama?

Ana: Near Eliza's studio! And I don't know!

Ali, walking in: *loud gasp* A CHILD

Markos: We should probably check if there's a missing child report...

Lia: But she's so cute!

James: You said she was near Liz's studio... did you see Liz?

Ana: No... she probably went into the city

Ali: I'll call her *Dials Liz*

Phone: *ring... ring... ring... voicemail*

Ali: That's weird... she's always around her phone

Different phone: *ringing*

Markos: *digs Liz's phone out of the couch cushions* Welp... found it

James: Great... how do we find this kid's parents?

Lia: And what if we don't find this kid's parents?

Ali: ...Can we keep her?!

Markos: Can we even handle a child? We're all super immature

Cho, walking in: Hey guys, has anyone seen the bar of chocolate I left outside the studio?

Ana: Um, no, why?

Cho, panicking: I was gonna use it to prank Jojo!

James: Prank as in how?

Cho: I stole some magic herbs that makes someone revert into a baby!

Markos: Why would you want to do that?

Cho: It'd be funny! And she basically is one, anyway!

Lia: I haven't seen it

Ana: Yeah, me neither

Cho: Okay...

Baby: *coughs*

Cho: WHOA, WHERE'D THE KID COME FROM??

Ana: I found her!

Cho: You just picked a random baby off the streets?

Ana: No! I found her near the studio!

Cho: Oh.... wait, what's a baby doing near the studio?

Markos: ...I'll call the police to see if there's a missing child report *leaves the room*

Ali: Maybe someone abandoned her

Lia: Why would someone abandon a child near a studio?

James: Maybe they didn't know... maybe she ran away

Ali: Why would a baby run away?

Cho: Chasing a butterfly, maybe?

Ana: *sets the baby down*

Baby: *punches Cho's ankle*

Cho: ...what was that for?

Baby: *makes a face and runs over to Liz's knife on the coffee table*

Ana: *grabs the baby* NO!

Markos, walking back in: There haven't been any missing child's reports...

Lia: So she was abandoned...

Baby: *facepalms*

Ali: Can she talk?

Baby: Eh- E

Cho: I think she's trying to...

Baby: K-pop!

Ana: *almost drops the baby*

James: *falls down*

Ali: WHAT THE FACK-

Markos: Language! There's a child present!

Lia: SHE JUST SAID K-POP!!!

Ana: YES, WE HEARD

Lia: WHERE DID SHE LEARN THAT??

Ana: I don't know!

Baby: K-knife!

Cho: KNIFE???

Ali: IS THIS CHILD LIZ OR SOMETHING???

Everyone: .................

Ali: What- OH MY GODS-

Lia: THAT'S LIZZY!!!

Markos: *narrows eyes and leans towards the baby* Are you Elizabeth Cameron?

Baby: *blinks*

Ana: She wouldn't know! Would she?

Baby: Wuh— wiz

Markos: She said Liz!

James: No, she said wuh wiz!

Lia: Babies can't pronounce L's!

Cho: Hm.... Eliza, who's the best member of Itzy?

Baby: ....... Ryuin

Ali: I'm assuming that's Ryujin?

Ana: That's her all right...

Ali: Coffee or tea?

Baby: Tea!

James: Aight... how do we turn her back?

Everyone: *glares at Cho*

Cho: don't look at me!

Lia: What do you mean?? You're the one who took the herbs!

Cho: So?? I didn't think that far ahead!

Ana: the alchemist probably has the antidote

Markos: *shoves his phone at Cho* You make the call

Cho: Me? Why me???

Markos: Because you turned her little in the first place

Cho: Fine... *rings the shady alchemist*

Alchemist: Hello?

Cho: Hey, my old dude. Do you have any herbs that would make someone turn older?

Alchemist: Tomorrow's Tea?

Cho: Yeah, that

Alchemist: Why do you need it?

Cho: There was an accident.... and long story short, Eliza's now a baby

Alchemist: I don't have any more, but the effects of the magic herbs should wear off in twenty-four hours

Cho: What?? That's too long to be stuck with a knife-loving baby!

Alchemist: Sounds like a you problem *hangs up*

Cho: NO DONCHU DARE HANG UP-

Ana: Ugh... so we have to wait until Eliza turns back?

Lia: Yep... I mean, could be worse. She's kinda cute when she's not always trying to kill us or loudly sharpening knives

Ali: I CALL NOT BABYSITTING BAIIIIII *runs out of the room to go ransack the kitchen*

Baby: *facepalms*
