Everyone in the Task Force HQ woke to a surprise that morning, even L, who rarely slept. They woke to find they had been deaged, and many years, from the looks of it. The one who didn't seem affected was Light. The first one up was L.
This had been the first time he had slept in nearly 5 months, usually being kept awake from all the sugar and caffeine he ingested during the day. That's odd, L thought. He didn't remember going to sleep. As L decided to start working again L heard a wail. It was faint, like it was coming from far away.

L ran towards it, alarmed. It wouldn't be good if anyone was hurt. It would slow down their productivity. L was running past a window when he first saw his reflection, causing him to skid to a stop. L studied his reflection, trying to figure out what was wrong... He felt well rested, which was unusual. Even when he slept it didn't balance out the time he spent awake.
Taking a closer look L realized what was wrong. He had no bags under his eyes. L's hair had also shortened by a few Inches, and he was several inches shorter in height. He wasn't slouching as much, either. L blinked a few times, his mouth opening to form a small 'o'. He stood there for a few minutes trying to process what was going on.

He could handle murder cases, blood, gore, and all that just fine, but give him supernatural things and he gets freaked out. Another wail pierced the air, louder than before. L remembered why he had been running in the first place. He ran to the 'Living Area' that was only a few couches surrounding a coffee table, the noise was coming from the couch closest to L. L looked over the couch, only to fall back in shock.
'A baby? What was a baby doing here?' L thought. He didn't remember a baby being at HQ the night before. Said baby hadn't stopped crying; It was hungry, confused, and frustrated.
L, trying to pull himself together, reached down and gently scooped the baby into his arms. 'If I'm younger.. Then maybe this person is too?' L thought, trying to reason this out. 'The baby is about 2 so the only person it could be was Near, Yagami-kun, or Yagami-kun's girlfriend.' Walking to the kitchen L pulled out a carton of strawberries and began cutting them into smaller pieces.
It's a good thing that I used to babysit Near so much, L thought- 'Wait Near had been visiting last night, and fell asleep on the couch... had he been affected by whatever it was too?' L's mind raced, placing all the pieces together. Putting the strawberries in front of the baby, L took a moment to examine him.
The child had appeared hairless but at closer inspection had short white hair. There was a 90% chance that this child was Near. 'Make that 100%' L thought as the child looked up at L, his eyes were a dark grey. Near gurgled happily as he ate the strawberries.
CRASH!-
The door was busted down by Soichiro Yagami.
"Is everything OK? We heard wailing!" Soichiro exclaimed loudly, causing Near to cry. L picked up Near, rocking him gently.
"Everything was fine until you broke the door down." He said blandly. Soichiro blushed and several chuckles were heard from behind the Chief of Police.
"I told you everything was probably OK, Dad." Light said, walking up beside his father. Everyone looked at Light in shock, he looked to be about 5.
"Well, you can never be to sure."
"Um... I don't mean to interupt but Ryuzaki, why are you holding a kid? And why are we all different ages?" Matsuda asked timidly. L looked at Matsuda, he had been affected as well as Soichiro, it seems. Matsuda was in his mid-teens, probably around 15, with short, semi-curly hair and was also shorter. Soichiro was in his late-thirties, his hair had lost most of its grey and he hadn't lost any height.

The day before:

Ryuk laughed as he began to glow red. At first he was hesitant about not telling Light about a Shinigami's full power, then he realized how much entertainment it would produce. He hadn't told Light some key things about his power like how he could de age a person though they still had the same mindset they fell asleep with. After all he had told Light he wasn't truly on his side, or theirs.
'Light should have asked for all the details' Ryuk thought as the 'spell' ended.

This was going to be fun.
