An Adorable Turn of Event(3)

(Dr. Amelia Buck's Office, Site-19 - 8:30 AM) 

Amelia and Little Rodeo entered the office. The office had a bookshelf and a usual office desk, on it was a computer with a chair next to the desk as well and the foundation logo on the wall with the words Secure. Contain. Protect written in a white text on the wall. 

Amelia sits on the chair and turns on the computer and starts doing her work. Little Rodeo just looked around and then asked Amelia. 

"What are you doing? :3"

"I'm going to be doing some work. So I need you to be a good boy and sit on that chair and I'll be with you shortly." Amelia replied back as she pointed to the chair next to Rodeo.

"Ok! :3" Little Rodeo then sat on the chair which was in the corner of the room and let his small legs dangle at the edge of the chair. 

Amelia looked at Little Rodeo who was sitting on the chair casually. She then thought to herself. 

'I'm an idiot. I just gave him an order, rather than normal talk. I'm really not good with kids.'

Amelia sighed and continued her work while Rodeo was looking at his golden skull plates on his hands. Amelia looked again and noticed he was poking his cheeks. She found it cute and gave a small smile. She looked at the computer again and continued her work. Little Rodeo spots something on the book shelf. A cardboard box. 

"Could there be toys in it?" Little Rodeo looked at Amelia who was busy typing on the computer and decided to go get it himself. He jumps off the chair and heads for the book shelf and starts climbing up the book shelf using his small legs and arms. 

Amelia was still too busy not noticing the child Rodeo climbing up the book shelf. 

"Almost there." Little Rodeo was now close to the box and tried to reach it with his left arm but couldn't. 

Amelia looked at the chair to see that he was not on it. Her eyes widened and then looked to her right to see Little Rodeo on the bookshelf. But then, Little Rodeo loses his footing and was about to hit the ground, but Amelia immediately catched him, saving him from getting hurt.

"Rodeo! What were you thinking?!"

"I just wanted to know what's in that box." He said while looking down.

Amelia looks at the box, picks it up from the book shelf and shows it to Little Rodeo to see that it was just filled with blank white papers. 

Little Rodeo then got an idea and asked, "Can I draw something on these?"

Amelia thought for a moment, well, it would be a good idea since it will keep him busy and that it would at least allow her to do her work without distractions. 

"Sure."

(Few Minutes Later ) 

Little Rodeo was now sitting on the floor drawing some pictures on the blank papers with crayons. Amelia was continuing work as usual, but she would peek at Little Rodeo from time to time doing his childish acts and she would always smile. 

'Adorable.' She thought.

Amelia then saw him approaching her, showing her a crayon drawing of him and her holding each other's hands and smiling. 

"Do you like it? :3"

Amelia looked at the drawing again and she smiled. She then had a flashback from when she was five years old and would always make crayon drawings even when her parents were continuously bickering with each other, just to keep herself happy, but her father would always told her that it was a waste of time and effort, and so, he would just take away her drawings and throw them away.

The flashback stopped and Amelia looked at the Little Rodeo with tears streaming down her face, but they were not tears of sadness, they were tears of happiness because Little Rodeo made something for her as a way to show his kindness. 

"Why are you crying?" The Little Kitten asked while tilting his head in confusion.

Amelia then hugs Rodeo close to her chest, "I like it, Rodeo." 

"I'm glad you do :3" 

After letting go from her grasp, Amelia wiped away her tears, "I'll keep this drawing as a gift."

"Sure :3"

Amelia then puts him back down, with Little Rodeo continuing making his drawings while Amelia continues to work. 

'You're still the same person, Rodeo... Even as a child.' She thought.

———

(10 Minutes Later) 

At the moment, Amelia was done with work, she then saw Little Rodeo had used up all the blank papers up and was done with drawing.

"Want to go visit the others?"

"Yes! :3"

Amelia lifts him up and carries Little Rodeo in her arms before leaving the office.

(Break Room, Site-19 - 9:00 AM)

Evan was in the break room with Carlos and both were doing an arm wrestling competition, while Green was just looking in amusement. The door then opens to reveal Amelia holding Little Rodeo in her arms. 

"Hello again! :3"

"Hi, Rodeo." Green greeted the little kitten.

"Hello mister! :3"

"Yep, he's forgotten about all of us alright." Green mumbled.

"What have they been doing?" Amelia asked, gazing at Evan and Carlos that were still busy with their competition in the background.

"You know, being competitive on who is stronger."

"Through arm wrestling?"

"It was Evan's idea. So how have you two been going along?"

Amelia sighs, "Well, I was busy with work, and he was well making crayon drawings." Amelia then sits down on a chair next to Green and continues, "I didn't interact with him much and still he doesn't seem to mind if I pay attention to him or not. He always stays positive in his child form and curious as well. I'm not too familiar with handling a child... even when some of them are SCPs."

"I know this whole taking care of a kid thing is new to you, but you'll get it."

Amelia looked at Little Rodeo who she was holding in her arms and smiled as she pats the little guy's head.

"Thank you, Green."

"Anytime."

And then, Evan was able to slam Carlos's right arm on the table and was victorious. 

"Ha! I won, bird brain!"

Carlos looks away in anger and crosses his six arms. 

"No fair! Birdy should have won." Little Rodeo yelled angrily. 

"Rodeo, I won fair and square with physical strength. You can't deny it."

"You're a baka. BAKA!!" He shouted in a cute angry voice.

"Now that's adorable, but I'll say it again. I won."

"Whatever, jerk." The little guy muttered, looking away and crossing his arms in anger. 

"So Rodeo here hasn't changed back yet?"

Amelia shook her head, "No, not yet."

"Rodeo, I really suggest you do some experiments so that we can bring you back to normal."

"No! No! No! No!"

"Yep, he still doesn't want to do it."

"You can't force a child to do something he doesn't want to, Evan."

"I know, but still if he stays like this forever, then what?"

"I'll try to persuade him."

Carlos comes close to the Little Rodeo and snuggles his face while the little kitten pats his beak.

"You're such a good boy! :3" Rodeo says, which Carlos growls happily. 

"Hey Rodeo, can your bombs work?" Evan asked.

"Oh yes, they work!"

The four looked at him in surprise, Evan then asked again.

"You remember how your bombs work but you don't remember us?"

"Yep :3"

Evan rubs his chin, he then brings an empty can and shows it to Rodeo 

"According to Jojo wiki fandom, they said that when a Stand is in its youngest years along with its user and are starting to develop they tend to be quite weak. One good example is Polnareff's Stand Silver Chariot being affected by Alessi's Stand Set and due to that, Silver Chariots attacks and durability has incredibly reduced to its youngest days since the Stand Set can make people into a child." Evan explained.

Amelia then realized something, "Is that why you're desperately trying to get him back to normal?"

"Yes and if our enemies know how Stand logic works then it's gonna be a problem for our friend Rodeo here."

Now Amelia felt more worried for Rodeo that now that he's a child that means he's gonna get hurt easily. 

"So Rodeo, turn this can into a bomb."

Little Rodeo then looks at the can and touches it with a beep sound is heard, and then Evan puts the can on the table which Little Rodeo does a thumbs up with his right hand before bringing it down.

*Boom*

And as usual, the bomb exploded, and when the smoke cleared, everyone's eyes widened except for Rodeo. 

"I was right."

In front of them, the Can was still intact but a black scorch mark was left on it. It means that Rodeo's bomb didn't atomize it.

"Rodeo, call out Sheer Heart Attack when I say do it." Evan says as he opens one of the desks in the break room and finds a match box, he takes one out of it and ignites the matchstick and starts burning the match box before throwing it in a trash can.

"Do it."

"Sheer Heart Attack."

Then, from his left hand came out SHA but its skull had a more cartoony look to it and was a bit smaller than its original version. 

"Kocchi Wo Miro :3" It says in a squeaky child voice.

The little RC Stand then went into the trash can and exploded. Little Rodeo calls back SHA, Evan looks inside the trash can to see the trash got scorched, the steel of the trash can was also scorched from the inside as well, but no atomization took place. 

"Same like the first."

"Do you want me to use Bites the Dust?"

"Nope! Nope! This is quite enough to understand that your powers have weakened."

"I actually do have a fourth bomb if you want me to test it :3"

"What!? How in the hell did you get a fourth bomb!?" 

(A/N: Oh yeah, Rodeo forgot to mention it completely to the others regarding his 4th bomb. So whoops from his side I guess.) 

"Do you really want me to show it to you?" 

"Yes!!" 

"Say the magic words."

"...Please."

"Good ^w^"

Amelia sets him down on the floor which Little Rodeo then walks towards a wall. As he reels his right fist back, everyone then sees that his golden plated skulls on his hands were glowing in a pink hue.

'This is totally different. Why didn't Rodeo tell me about this ability before?' Evan thought.

Little Rodeo then punched the wall and when his fist made contact it, it creates an explosion, scorching the wall in the process rather than blowing a hole into it. But it also burned his right hand as he started crying. 

"Oh god, Rodeo!"

Amelia, Green, Evan and Carlos approached him and kneeled next to him.

"It... *sobs*... hurts!!"

Amelia slowly looked at his right hand to see it was burned pretty badly. 

"Carlos, freeze his wound for now."

Carlos nods and touches Little Rodeo's right hand and freezes the burn mark. Little Rodeo still felt a stinging sensation coming from the wound. 

"It still hurts." He uttered while crying.

Amelia picks him up and hugs him close to her chest and pats him on the back to comfort him, he hugs her back as well. 

Meanwhile, Evan was more focused on the fact that Amelia was hugging Little Rodeo close to her busts and due to this he made this face. 

[IMAGES]

"Hmm!"

"Uhhh Evan, you alright?" Green looked at Evan oddly.

*Slap!*

Evan immediately slapped his face to break away from his thoughts and said to Rodeo. 

"You could have told us that your fourth bomb can injure you."

"I'm sorry :( "

"You know what, forget it. It's my fault. Let's take him to the infirmary."

Everyone nods and heads for the infirmary.
