Luis was busy browsing his favorite forums when his mom called out for him. Sighing, he closed his laptop, not bothering to exit out of anything. His mother was a big proponent of trust being given and expected in return. Thus, his parents were pretty chill when it came to his privacy, Luis didn't even bother putting a password on his computer or locking his door. Making his way downstairs, he found his mom sorting through an old box labeled "Family Memories".

"Oh, there you are honey. I need you to take this box down the road to Mrs. Brown's place. Her daughter, you know her, the one you're always staring at-", she was interrupted by an upset groan from Luis before continuing, "Oh shush. Anyway, her daughter Tiffany apparently is wonderful at computer stuff. We have all these old cameras, VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, I don't know what else, but I want it all on the cloud. Y'know, the cloud! Anyway, she can do that according to her mother, great woman. So, take all this down there, say hello, and here. Her mother said she'll do it all for $20, so be sure to pay her up front. Ok? Got it? Alright, go fix yourself up and skedaddle."

She handed Luis a $20 bill and pushed the heavy box of aged electronics into his arms with no hesitation. Groaning about what a pain this all was, he made his way towards the front door. Pausing at the mirror, he checked and saw a rather skinny boy with black hair, a baby face, and clothing that looked like it had just come off a Hot Topic rack. Today, that meant his usual 'Life is sad' t-shirt and black, baggy pants. Thinking about whether he'd actually see Tiffany, he decided to at least tidy up his hair and wear his best skeleton-with-a-broken-heart hoodie on the way over.

After some time, he was at the front door of the Brown residence, only slightly winded from the walk and having to carry the box. After ringing the bell, the door was answered by Tiffany. He must have stood gaping at her for way too long. She was about the same height, cute, and was living in an e-girl aesthetic. She was currently decked out in a pastel green and black crop top-and-skirt ensemble. Her matching makeup highlighted her fake freckles and blush while her hair was pulled up in a messy bun.

"Oh hey, Luis from school, right? What's up?"

Realizing he'd been staring awkwardly for way too many seconds, Luis stammered out, "Uhh- Yeah, my mom sent me over. She said...you doooo computer stuff? Or maybe your mom said it. Anyway...she wanted to know if...you could transfer this stuff...to the cloud?" He gestured to the box he was carrying.

"Ugh. I bet my mom has been going around telling other moms about what I did for her. I transferred her photos off an old tablet she'd been using and transferred them to her phone so she could post them on social media. Then she's been pulling out everything in our attic for me to transfer. I convinced her to buy me some stuff like a VHS-to-digital converter so I could use it for the school website job I got wrangled into- Y'know what. You probably don't need to know all that. Soooo, what do you have here?"

She took the box from him and started digging through it. Out came an old VHS tape labeled "Luis Year 2". "Aww, cute. Looks like I'll be looking at your old baby stuff," giggled Tiffany. Luis blushed a deep red.

"Uhhh, my mom says your mom said to pay you $20 so hereyougobye." Alex threw the bill into the box and ran away. Tiffany felt bad for teasing him but also incredibly annoyed that her mom was basically giving away her free time. Rolling her eyes, she carried the box inside and made her way back to her room.

Once at her PC, she began sorting through the box of memories. Sighing, she realized that this was going to take forever as Luis's mom basically had years’ worth of their families old photos and videos stashed away here. Looking up at her computer, she made an audible, exasperated noise as she realized she still had tons to do for the school website. The administration had asked her to upload the most recent set of Homecoming parade pictures to the front page, which all came from one of the older teacher's outdated digital cameras. The quality on almost all the pictures was horrendous and out of focus.

It wasn't her problem, but the old woman had still taken hundreds of these awful photos. They were taking forever to process, so foreseeing a long night she grabbed an energy drink and pulled out the 'Luis Year 2' tape. Sipping on her drink, the VHS to digital conversion barely took a minute before it was done. Skipping throughout the video, she almost spit out her drink upon seeing little Luis. He was such a big baby! At some points, he looked so much like his current self that it was hilarious. Her favorite part was a section in which his mother had dressed him in an outfit that probably came with a child-sized doll. Combined with his diaper, he looked absolutely precious.

Looking over at the monitor where all the school photos were still loading, she got an idea to help keep herself entertained. Popping open another energy drink, she loaded her photo manipulation software along with a screenshot of baby Luis. Looking up his yearbook photo, she carefully shopped the picture to make it look more and more like the current 18-year-old was wearing his baby outfit. Spending the better part of an hour on this, Tiffany laughed aloud at her creation. She was pretty proud of her photo editing skills, but this took the cake. Luis looked like a giant baby!

Sniggering, she considered sending the picture over to him to poke some fun at him. She thought he was fairly cute, their e-girl and goth vibes would go well with each other. Lost in thought, she reached for her now fourth energy drink and missed. The clear fuel went flying all over her desk and keyboard! In a panic, Tiffany grabbed the closest piece of clothing she had and tried soaking up the liquid.

In the process, she managed to knock both her keyboard and mouse off her desk while simultaneously disconnecting her monitors. Repetitively and quietly cursing to herself, she did her best to clean up the mess while pressing an old shirt to the keyboard. Once she was satisfied that she hadn't broken anything, although now everything was sticky, she set up her station again. Turning on the monitors, she realized that in the lapsed time, the school photos had finished uploading and were ready to publish!

Excited, she pounded down on her enter key in order to get this project out of her hair. Once that was done and hundreds of photos were now available to the school, she closed out of that window. Smiling, she tried to get back to her photo but...

"Huh. Did I exit out of it by accident? I probably clicked on the keyboard and mouse too much while trying to dry them off...oh well. I’m pooped…”

Tiffany shut down her PC and went to bed, she would get back to Luis about his mother's "cloud" upload later. As she fell asleep, she didn’t notice the flurry of notifications her phone was receiving overnight. Apparently, something hilarious had gotten the attention of several students and was trending for the high school.

            The next morning, it was on his way to his locker that Luis noticed the snickering. He wasn’t a popular kid but like most high schools most people recognized one another. Figuring that they just didn’t approve of his goth vibes, he ignored the other students until he got to his locker. That’s where he saw it. A picture of himself dressed up as a big baby was taped to his locker door. Blushing a deep red, he tore it off his locker and ran to the nearest bathroom.

            Closing himself in a stall, he took a better look at the picture. It was definitely his face, only photoshopped onto the body of a toddler wearing a dress. Peering more intently at the photo, he realized this was actually one of the outfits his mother had dressed him in! His embarrassment turned to anger as he slowly deduced who was responsible for this.

            “Tiffany Brown. Urgh!” Luis simmered with rage throughout the day, ignoring the constant taunts about whether he brought his diaper to school or needed a pacifier. One of his friends felt bad for him and showed him how he was trending on the Twinkle Twinkle video app. His photo was being stitched together with popular sound clips such as “Who’s mommy’s little girl?” and “What a big baby!” He also let him know how the picture got around. Apparently, it was uploaded amidst a giant backlog of Homecoming pictures, so the cheerleaders had seen it first and texted it to all their friends.

            This made Luis angrier, knowing that the only person to have access to that original picture was Tiffany. She must have wanted to mess with him or something. “Ugh, I can’t believe I thought she was cute…I need to get back at her!”

            On the other hand, Tiffany was a bit more popular and got wind of the photo earlier. She was feeling incredibly remorseful all day. Once she got on the phone and saw the picture that morning, she realized her mistake. She must have accidentally moved the picture into the uploaded batch of Homecoming files! She knew she’d have to apologize profusely to Luis once she got a chance today.

            Luckily for her, she spotted him on their way out of school and rushed over to get his attention. Unluckily for both, one of the cheerleaders decided at this moment to yell, “Hey big baby Luis!” and tossed something at his back. At that moment, Luis turned around while Tiffany tried to catch whatever was being thrown at him. With their impeccable timing combined, Tiffany managed to trip forward and stuff the thrown pacifier right into Luis’ mouth.

            The hallway burst into laughter as Tiffany was sprawled on the ground looking up at Luis’ pacified face. Both of their faces turned a bright pink for different reasons, as Luis spun around and ran out the doors. Tiffany was mortified at what just happened, not only had she ruined Luis’ reputation but made it worse by stuffing a pacifier in his face. Stunned, she didn’t move while the cheerleaders clapped and cheered for her.

            Luis on the other hand ran as fast as he could, not stopping until he was in his room. Sitting down at his PC, he booted up his browser and started to angrily vent on his favorite forums. It took a while for him to realize that the pacifier was still in his mouth, sucking on it unconsciously since it was put there. Spitting it out, he wiped away his mouth, his anger and embarrassment continuing to build.

            After a few minutes of venting, he got back a few responses. Several were people reaching out to comfort him, others joked about the situation, and still others gave suggestions for how to get back at Tiffany. Most of them involved the seemingly proper step of reporting her to the administration or telling his mom, but none of them were satisfying to Luis. Instead, one seemingly odd suggestion struck him as gratifying.

            One anonymous poster said, “It would be amazing if you could get back at that girl by making it seem that SHE was the bigger baby! Like, what if there were some photos of her that got out, where she was dressed like a big baby or something. Not just photoshopped too!”

            This comment was drowned amidst the sea of responses, but it got Luis thinking. What if he could make everyone forget about that photo by making Tiffany seem like the bigger baby? He couldn’t and wouldn’t want to make her dress up in an embarrassing outfit, that was a weird and creepy idea. No, instead what if he had someone dress up like her…except baby-ish…look like her…then “leak” those photos. He couldn’t ask his mom and Luis didn’t really have many friends that would be willing to do this.

            Getting up and walking around his room, he got to thinking. He was stumped for several minutes until he saw himself in the mirror. A light bulb turning on inside his head, he pulled out the Twinkle Twinkle app and found Tiffany’s profile. She posted several videos of her doing silly dances and playing games, but also makeup tutorials. He found one where she compared herself to a filter that looked incredibly like her own makeup. Making a video draft, he tried out the filter on his face.

            Recording a short video, he looked over the results. With the e-girl makeup filter, aka heavy blush, big doe eyes, and over-the-top lashes and false hearts stickered throughout his face…Luis realized that he looked strikingly similar to Tiffany!

            Running back to his computer, he asked that same commenter what would constitute a more embarrassing outfit for a big baby. The commenter simply linked to a website called ‘sissysmooch.com’ and said that the people on that forum probably had a better suggestion for this situation so why not ask.

            Glancing over the suggestion, Luis thought over his developing plan. He’d have to make sure he looked just like Tiffany for this to work, but he couldn’t show too much of his face. He also had to work out an embarrassing outfit to make everyone forget about the debacle today. He didn’t want to do anything disgusting or creepy like making her seem naked. No, it should be her in a giant diaper and something massive and frilly. Finally, he had to figure out a way to make a “leak” seem legitimate. What if he made a fake Twinkle Twinkle account over time and “accidentally” set it to public instead of private? With some videos being clearly shot at the school?

            Slowly but surely, Luis got his plan for revenge in motion. “Who’s going to be the big baby now, Tiffany!”
