"Oh brother I can't,
I can't get through,
I'm so scared about the future,
And I wanna talk to you"

"Yes, we're going to take you home."
The boy instantly relaxes at Chris' words. Chris panics and looks back at Will, Guy, and Phil, who all look angry. You pillock! He thinks to himself. You can't take Jonny to Wales! He has a family in London!
But how is he gonna take care of them in this state? He argues with himself.
"Really?" Jonny asks, a grin creeping across the child's face.
Chris sighs. How could he fuck up so badly by saying only one sentence? "Jonny, we're going to try to take you home," Will says. "We can't make any promises, though, ok?"
"Why not?" The boy asks, his face falling.
"America is very far away from Wales," the drummer replies. "Your mummy and daddy know where you are. You're safe with us, I promise. It just may be awhile before we can get you home, is all."
Jonny sighs. "But I want them now!" He whines.
"Now, Jonny, don't be whiney," Guy scolds.
"Sorry, Guy," the boy mumbles, sounding almost identically like his grown self, giving Guy an idea.
"Alright, Jonny. We'll be in the room next door if you need us, alright?" Phil says, grabbing Chris' aggressively and pulling him out of the room.
"Ok, Phil. Nighty night!" The boy waves, cheerfully, and the band all smiles back at him, before closing the door.
"Chris! What were you thinking, you pillock?" Phil asks as soon as the door is closed.
"I'm sorry! I know I fucked up!"
"Ya think? Now he thinks we're taking him to Wales! We have shows to do! And his kids will worry! Poor Chloe is already worried sick," Guy says.
Will sighs. "Chris, I know that you want to make Jonny happy, but there's simply no way to do so without it interfering with our plans."
Chris humphs. "Alright, then tell me what the plans are so that I don't fuck it up next time."
The band members all look at each other. "I think we should stick to the original plan," Will suggests. "This was our last show before the month-long break. You go back to LA with Phil, and Guy and I take Jonny back with Chloe."
"Ok, and what are his kids gonna say when he's the same age as them?" Phil asks.
Guy sighs. "We don't have to tell them, I suppose."
"Or we could take him back to Wales, like he wants," Chris says, folding his arms over his chest like a child.
Phil sighs. "Chris, as bad as I feel keeping the poor lad away from his parents, we need to figure out how to change him back."
"We can't do that without him? Besides, we're not scientists, or fucking wizards."
"We need to talk to the cloaked man that did this," Guy argues. "If he doesn't want to change Jon back to the way it was, then the least he can do is tell us that."
"Why the hell would he want to do anything to help us?" Chris argues.
"I'm with Guy on this one," Will says.
"Of course you are. Take the side of your boyfriend. Not like it matters anyway."
Guy and Will blush. "You know our relationship is complicated," Guy mumbles.
