I woke up to the sound of tiny knocks on my window. Half awake, I made my way to my window, tripping over things and bumping my head on the low ceiling. When I got there, Nod stood on the windowsill, looking at me. Oh, in case you didn't know, Nod is 2 inches tall. As usual, he looked really good, even in his Leafmen uniform. He was wearing this charming smile of his. My heart skipped a beat. "Hi!" I squeaked. He waved back at me. That's when I realized.

Now that I'm back to normal and not 2 inches tall, I'm not like them. "Them", referring to the tiny people in the forest. About a month ago, I moved into my Dad's home, right in the middle of a forest. My Dad was obsessed with tiny people living in the forest. He believed they existed. I didn't. So when I couldn't stand his madness (or so I thought it was madness), I decided to leave. Then, when I was just about to leave, my three-legged dog, Ozzy ran into the woods, I had no choice but to follow him. Believe it or not, I got shrunk into one of those 2-inches-tall human my dad was obsessed about.

After saving the entire forest with Nod, Ronin, Mub the slug and Grub the snail (long story), I Turned back into my normal self. Occasionally, Nod would come and visit me, but I would have to wear this gadget of my dad's, as tiny people talked and moved faster than us humans. Like a lot faster. I remembered when I was tiny and Ronin, Nod and I went broke into my Dad's house (I wouldn't exactly call it break into the house, it's my house anyway), Ronin and Nod were joking about how Stompers (that's what they call humans) walked and talked so slow. "And they're like 'IIIIII HUUUUUURTTTTT MYYYYY ELLLBOOOOWW'" Nod had said, between laughter. So right now, Nod would hear me saying "HIIIIIIII!" instead of just a short "Hi."

Oh god. That was embarrassing.

Stifling a laugh, he smiled. I motioned to him to wait and rushed down stairs to get my leafmen goggles (that's what Dad called it). I ran back up to my room and opened up the window. Nod crawled in, jumped down, and jumped on my bed. From my experience, when you're so tiny, you jump really high. I wish I could jump like that in my normal size. I would be world champion for long jump.

I sat on the bed with him and adjusted my leafmen goggles.

"Hey, MK," Nod said.

"So why'd you come?" I asked.

"What, can't I visit my girlfriend?"

I blushed. "I am not your girlfriend," I replied, looking away.

"In case you've forgotten, we kissed," he said with a smirk. God, I hate it when he does that.

"I remember, Nod," I said, shooting him a glare. We did kiss. Right before I Turned back into a Stomper- Great, now I'm starting to talk like them.

"So anyway," Nod said, "I've got something for you but I'm going to have to go outside and get it."

I told him I would wait. A few minutes later, he came back with-

"A pod!" I exclaimed. A pod was the reason why I turned tiny last month. But why had Nod brought it in?

"Got that right," Nod said, handing it to me. "Feel like turning 2 inches tall again, MK?"

I grinned. Of course, I missed the people in the forest, but I missed being with Nod the most. But what about Dad? I can't leave him alone.

Nod seemed to read my mind. "Your dad can come, too," he said. I still hesitated. I missed being tiny, but what if I can't Turn human again? I couldn't take the risk.

"Oh, come on, MK. Think about what we could do together. I promise you wont regret it," he said, with this look on his face.

I nodded. I told him I would have to go tell my dad first. I ran down the stairs and found Dad reading a book on his usual reading spot- his worktable.

"Hey Dad," I smiled. He turned around, returned a smile and went back to his reading. I groaned. There were times when he was not preoccupied with stuffs, but now wasn't those times.

"Listen, Nod came over and he thought of a brilliant idea. He said maybe we could Turn-" I started.

"Oh, it's okay, MK, you can go, I'll just stay at home," he replied.

I sighed and went back up. "Dad doesn't want to go," I told Nod. "But I do."

He grinned, "Let's go then."

Author's note: Hey there! So, I wrote this chapter like right after I watched Epic a few months ago, but Fanfiction didn't have the category for Epic yet, so I waited and waited and I forgot about it. UNTIL TODAY. So, here it is! I'm really sorry my Percy Jackson fanfic (Sarah J. Jackson and The Ruby Of Olympus) was last updated like a gazillion years ago (not really, it was just 5 months ago). I've been really busy, but now that summer break is here... I AM BACK! With a few juicy ideas mehehe :D So review, like and follow!
