Angel—mentally regressed to six—was having a playdate with Alastor, whose mindset had regressed to one year old. Husk was watching the two color peacefully together in the lounge.
Angel, being mischievous, wrote a little A on the table he and Alastor were coloring on.
"Ooooh, cowor on 'able," Alastor called out.
"Nuh-uh, you did it," Angel blamed the radio demon.
"No didn't."
"Alright, kids, that's enough. Angel, we don't color on furniture and blame others for our mistakes," Husk scolded. "If we can't play nice, I'm gonna have to take the coloring stuff away."
"I'm sorry..." Angel huffed.
"That's better. Now, I'm gonna grab your snacks. I'll be right back, and play nice with Al, okay?"
"Okay, Papa."
Husk walked away from the lounge and into the kitchen. Angel looked over at Alastor, who went back to coloring. He then sighed as he boredly scribbled on his piece of paper. The spider was already bored of coloring and wanted to do something else. His face lightened up as he got an idea.
"Hey, Al, wanna watch TV?" Angel suggested.
Angel turned the TV on and flipped through the channels until he stopped at the Nickelodeon channel. Much to his delight, one of his favorite shows, Invader Zim, was on.
"You've gotta see this, Al! This is called 'Invader Zim'. It's about an alien who tries to rule Earth while going to school like a human kid. Gir's my favorite character."
The TV show was playing an episode where one of the characters, Dib, was confronting the lice queen after the school was infested with lice. It frightened Alastor so bad that he started crying and covering his eyes with his deer blanket.
Angel saw this and felt bad. He didn't mean to scare Alastor - he just wanted to show his friend one of the best cartoons ever.
"Hey, don't be scared. It's just a cartoon," Angel reassured.
Angel picked up Alastor's stuffed deer and gave it to him, but it didn't work. He tried giving Alastor his pacis, but that didn't work either. Angel tried everything to his ability to calm the baby down from singing to playing peekaboo, but to no avail.
"Aw, man, what do I do?" Angel panicked. He thought about going to tell Husk, but he was scared that he was going to be in big trouble for making Alastor cry.
Angel heard footsteps approaching the lounge and hid behind the chair. Having heard the radio demon's wailing, Husk came in from the kitchen and saw him tearfully cowering in fear.
"What's wrong, Al? It's okay, don't cry. I'm right here," Husk soothed as he picked Alastor up and swayed from side to side. "What happened, Angel?"
However, Angel was nowhere to be found. Husk set Alastor down in his playpen after handing him a pacifier and looked for the spider. After searching around and behind the couches, he looked behind the chair, where Angel was curled up into a ball, his hands hiding his face.
"Angel, what happened with Alastor?" Husk asked as he came down to Angel's eye level.
"Well... I, uh..." Angel gulped.
"I'm not mad at you. I just want to know why Alastor's crying."
After a minute of deliberation, Angel sighed heavily.
"I got bored from coloring and wanted to watch TV, so I showed Al one of my favorite-tist shows of all time, Invader Zim," Angel confessed.
"The one with the aliens?" Husk questioned.
"Yeah. I didn't think it would upset Al, I swear."
"I know, and I bet you were excited to show him the show, weren't you?"
Angel nodded his head.
"However, Alastor's a baby, Angel, and you're a big kid. He's too young to be watching big kid stuff like Invader Zim. It can give him nightmares. Plus, he doesn't really like to watch TV."
"Oh..." Angel's face dropped in guilt. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, buddy. You just have to be more mindful, that's all. How about after you and Al eat, we can come up with something fun for all of us to do?"
Angel nodded his head as he and Husk went back to the table. Alastor was feeling a bit better after crying, but he was still sniffling and rubbing his eyes. He was also clutching onto his deer stuffie and suckling on his pacifier.
"I'm sorry I scared you, Al," Angel apologized. "Forgive me?"
Alastor crawled over to Angel and gave him a hug, accepting the spider's apology.

"Alright, what should we do?" Husk said after Angel and Alastor ate their snacks.
"What if we played with my Octonauts toys and sea animals?" Angel suggested. "You know, that's actually a good idea! You like that idea, Al?"
Alastor—now feeling much better—nodded his head as he offered his deer stuffie.
"Yeah, maybe the deer can be a part of the Octonauts team! She can be our substitute photographer while Dashi's out sick."
"Ooh, I like that!" Husk beamed as the radio demon nodded his head again.
The rest of the play date was spent with Husk and the littles playing as Octonauts and rescuing the sea animals. Angel shared his toys and gave amazing facts about each animal toy they rescued. He even showed Alastor how to pretend to take pictures with a camera! Overall, the play date was a big success.
