Washington POV-

I look around the camp for Alex. I can't find him, which is worrying me.

I start looking around the borders of the camp, and I find him sitting down and looking.

I slowly walk over, not wanting to scare him. And I see him sitting infront of poison ivy.

"Alex!?" I say pulling him back slightly.

He looks up at me and does a blep.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch that?"

"I kwnow..."

I was, confused. He was talking like a child. But I shook it off.

"You can get sick bud, alright?"

He just slightly nodded.

"Dwadwa!"

I stare shocked, and just slightly laughed.

"You stay here son, got it?"

He nodded.

I went to Laurens' tent and I found him and Lafayette talking.

"Have you seen Alex sir?" Laurens asks with slight panic in his voice.

I nodded.

"Can you lead us to him?"

I nodded again.

"But...he is acting weird..."

"About that, he has age regression, so sometimes he acts like a child,"

"What caused this?" I ask as they come out the tent.

"We...aren't sure...he isn't either,"

I nodded and lead them to Alex who was curled in a ball.

"Alex!" Laurens yells running over to him and sitting down. "What happened prince?"

"He likes being called Prince in his state," Lafayette whispered.

Alex got out his ball and pointed to his knee which was bleeding.

"Aw prince, it will be okay, do you have any bandaids?" Laurens asks to Lafayette who shook his head.

I went into my pockets and pulled out one.

I walked over and bent down infront of him. He looked up at me and said.

"Dwadwa!"

Laurens and Lafayette giggled as I put on the bandaid.

He hugged me and I laughed slightly.

Laurens patted his head which made him giggle.

"Jwamie?" He says.

"That's his bear, let me get it," Lafayette says getting up and walking away.

He came back a few minutes later with a bear that looked older than him. Alex made grabby hands for it and cuddles with 'Jamie' when he got it.

2 weeks later

I have gotten used to the age regression. Doesn't happen all the time everyday. But it happens often.
