As Iris slowly woke from her deep sleep; she suddenly realised something wasn't quite right. She wasn't lying on her warm cosy bed, but what felt like a cold ground. Her dark brown eyes snapped open and she sat upright, her long brown hair flowing over her shoulders. Her eyes widened and she gasped, her mouth forming a perfect 'O' shape. Iris just sat there, not moving. She couldn't think, she didn't want to. Her head slowly turned round to look at her unfamiliar surroundings. Trees towered above her head, green grass sprouted from the ground; hills stretched across the land as far as the eye could see. Flowers were growing; making vibrant patches of colours appear. Birds of all different species were singing in the background, butterflies were flying round the forest, happily perching on a flower petal before flying off again. The sun's golden rays were streaming through the trees, illuminating every shade of colour found in the forest. Iris found a small laugh escape her lips, this place was unreal. It was so different. Almost dreamlike.

She stopped looking around and thought to herself. 'Where. The hell. Am I?' Iris scrambled to her feet to find some clue of where she was, when she noticed that her balance had somehow changed. Her gaze turned towards the ground. She screamed in shock and fell to the ground. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY FEET!'Iris grabbed hold of her left foot. Her feet had grown to about twice their normal size! Whereas before, Iris's feet were smooth and small, now there were huge and had tuffs of hair growing out of them. She just stared, her mouth agape. 'Great...' she thought to herself 'I have no damn clue where I am, I'm in my pyjamas; and I must look like a right freaking idiot sitting on my backside screaming at my new circus feet!' She hoisted herself up with help from a nearby tree. Cursing under her breath she tried get used to the feeling of having abnormally large... and hairy feet.

She walked slowly round a trunk of an old oak tree, and as every second passed, she got used to the fact she had 'circus feet'. Iris let out a long sigh, 'well' the thought drifted through her mind 'I better find out where I am, and how in god's name I ended up here'. As Iris started walking, her eyes took in the breath-taking forest; she had never felt more peaceful. Thud. Iris faceplanted the ground. She groaned. Obviously, she didn't have the hang of walking around with 'circus feet'. As she was wiping mud and leaves of her annoyed face, the thing she tripped over, moved and moaned. Iris screamed and ran for cover behind a tree, before she looked back, she made a mental note; to stop screaming. Iris shook her head rapidly, she was tough, and her black belt proved it! She grinned at the memory of winning her first fight, despite the situation she was in. Iris took a big breath, hoping, in some way, that a lung full of air would give her more courage. Well, it didn't. But she didn't care; she looked round for some sort of weapon. 'This is a forest Sherlock;' she thought to herself 'there's hardly going to be a random gun on the ground'. Something on the forest floor caught her eye. A grin spread across her face. It was... a big branch? She grasped the branch tightly, and eyed the 'log' on the ground. She liked to think of herself as stealthy, truth be told, she really was. Iris crept silently along the forest floor, until she was about five foot away, then she crouched. Her breathing became quiet; Iris let herself blend in with her surroundings even though her mind was on red alert. Her brown eyes scouted a possible escape route, she tightened her grip on the branch; her pulse was pounding in her ears as she let her dark brown gaze settle on her target. The sounds of the forest slowly disappeared as Iris leapt through the forest air, swinging the large branch at the 'log'. Her face fixed with determination.

Arianna woke to the feeling of something sticking into her back. She fumbled around her side, trying to find her light switch, but her eyes shot open in an instant. Beneath her, instead of feeling her nice, warm bed, she could feel grass and twigs. Hardly daring to breathe, she looked around her as she lay on the ground, and gasped when she saw a pale blue sky, surrounded by towering trees. But what surprised her most was that she could see all the little details of the trees, from the small upper branches to the birds nest partially hidden in the leaves. Everything looked so much clearer.

Arianna was just about to push herself up when she heard groaning and mumbling coming from a few meters away. Her eyes snapped shut, and her heart beat wildly against her chest.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY FEET!" Arianna jumped at the shout, but the voice sounded familiar… She just couldn't place it. She began thinking of a way to defend herself if needs be, or attack the person and run away. She heard them getting closer, and bean to panic. They were going to find her any second now…

Thud.

Arianna let out a long groan as whoever it was kicked her hard and fell over. She rolled onto her side and clutched her stomach in pain, still groaning. She momentarily thought this was not a good idea, as the person could have attacked or even killed her easily because of her vulnerability. But, instead, they let out a very high-pitched scream and ran away. A girl! She let out a sigh of relief, scolding herself for being so worried. She sat up hesitantly, making sure she wasn't hurt. She felt dizzy and her back was a little sore, but other than that, she felt alright. She stood and quickly looked around, assessing where she was. It wasn't anywhere she recognized. 'How on earth did I get here?' She thought, miserably. She was too focused on wondering where she was that she didn't hear the pattering of feet until it was too late. She whirled around to see a large branch coming straight for her head. She closed her eyes and raised her arms to shield her head, and waited for the impact. But it never came. She opened her eyes slowly, and gasped when she saw she had caught the branch in her hand! And she hadn't even felt it!

"Let go! I'll hurt you, I swear I will…" Arianna looked down at the small figure that had spoken, amused. Her amusement was quickly replaced by shock, and her surprise was mirrored in the small girl's face.

"Iris?" She asked in disbelief. "Arianna?" Iris gasped as well. Arianna nodded mutely, dropping the stick, and Iris launched herself at her friend. "Ari!" They were laughing and crying, hugging each other to death. After several minutes, they finally pulled apart, and Iris frowned.

"But…. Why are you so tall?" She asked, puzzled. Arianna raised her eyebrows.

"Why are you so small!" She replied, and her little friend's frown deepened.

"I'm not…." She looked down at herself and her eyes widened. Arianna Smirked and rolled her eyes. "I'm a freaking midget!" She finished, sounding worried.

"Yes, you are! Why? You know, you look like those things off that film, what's it called? Lord of the Rings!" Arianna laughed, but Iris looked troubled. 'Wait,' Arianna thought, 'what if…? We're in a forest, somewhere we don't know, and Iris looks weird. I don't think that's a coincidence…'

"Iris…" She started slowly, "I think you're a hobbit."

"I'm a WHAT?"

Iris's mouth hung open. 'Lord of The Rings... Hobbit?' Iris kept replying her friend's words in her head. Her brow continued to crease as her confusion grew. 'If I remember correctly' she thought 'Lord of the rings was that film that we watched agess ago. And a Hobbit was them short little midget people with big... hairy... feet...'

"Damn it!" Iris said, out loud "Why do I have to be the weird midget person!" Iris crossed her arms over her chest in a frustrated manor. Her friend started to giggle next to her. Iris glared at her, and then her eyes narrowed slowly, she realised something had changed about her friend. Iris looked closely at Arianna's face. 'Now don't get me wrong' she thought to herself 'Ari did look pretty before, but dangg! That girl got beautiful!' Iris, much to her annoyance, had to reach up to poke Arianna's cheek; her friend gave her a questioning look "Are you using a new face cream or somthin?" Arianna just grinned and shook her head

"Only you could be talking about face cream at a time like this"

"well" Iris started "it's just... you look beautiful! And we both know you looked like mong before" Arianna hit her playfully on the arm.

"well" Arianna said while she flicked her long golden hair over her shoulder, giving her little friend a mocking smile.

"Maybe I have turned into one of them beautiful elf's" Iris, much to her annoyance again, had to reach up to poke her friend's ear.

"You got the ears for it" Arianna's brow creased and her light brown eyes narrowed as she felt her ears, she gasped when her fingers grazed the pointed top. Iris, however, had a massive grin on her face; she was amused at the sight of her friends shock

"See!" She said while pointing a finger in Arianna's face.

"I'm not the only freak around here" At this point, Iris forgot how scary Arianna could be. Because Iris's new height made her really small, Arianna wanted to advantage. Iris was laughing at the death glare she was receiving from her friend, when Arianna took a step towards her, clearly showing the height difference with the fact that Arianna had to move her whole head down just to look at her friend. Iris's laughter slowly died away, she stood still for a moment. A flicker of mischief flashed through her eyes, and she grinned. Iris suddenly bolted away from Arianna. Laughing to herself, she started screaming

"HELP! THE CRAZY ELF LADY'S GONNA KILL ME!"

Just a remainder, please review! :D Thanks!
