Oh hey guys.

Long time no speak ;)

If you're following me, I just want to say I'm glad you and I now share more than one fandom interest xD

Okie.

Anyways.

I love Epic. So I've decided to write some short one-shots for the movie. (Key word is SHORT)

So enjoy!

"You think he's okay?" MK asked warily as she approached Nod and his bird, looking up at him and seeing a goofy grin spread across his handsome face.

"Yeah, he'll be fine!" he replied enthusiastically, clasping his hand around MK's and pulling her up behind him onto the bird. "Their heads are like rocks – well, smart rocks." Nod cringed as they took off, preparing himself for a snarky retort from the auburn haired girl behind him. Instead, MK just wrapped her arms around his torso, silently turning her head to the side as she watched the ground grow farther and farther away. She sighed heavily.

Nod frowned. Something was definitely wrong if MK wasn't replying to his rather insesnsitave remark. "Hey, you alright?" he asked.

MK sighed again and his question was answered with silence.

"MK." Nod turned his head slightly to look at her over his shoulder and saw that her eyebrows were furrowed with concern, her mouth tight and her face pale with agitation. "MK," he repeated.

"I miss my dad," she whispered, bowing her head in embarrassment to hide her face from Nod. She didn't him to see how devastated she was.

Nod turned to look back in front of him. "I'm sure he's fine," he offered reassuringly.

"It's not that, Nod," she replied quietly.

"Then what is it?"

"It's just-he's my dad, you know?" she started. "And I'm trying so hard to think of a time I didn't hate him these past couple years." She took a breath, urging herself not to cry. "My mom and I moved away from here when I was 9 and I haven't seen him since."

Nod felt MK's arms tighten around his chest. "So why now?" he asked.

He knew he said something wrong the instant MK started crying.

She pulled her arms away from Nod and furiously began rub her hands over her eyes, willing herself to stop. But the salty tears kept running and she let out a sob. "It-it was something my mom wanted," she choked out. "She wanted me to live with him… to-to be his daughter again." She laughed dryly. "To be 'his little princess' again."

Nod kept silent.

"You know, before my parents divorced my room was pink – like a princess' room." She felt another wave of moisture form in her eyes and she tasted salt in her mouth as they flowed. "It's still like that…" She took a breath. Quietly, she added, "I-I guess I'm just upset over the fact that I've been such a jerk to him and now… now I'm scared I'll never talk to him again."

Nod pursed his lips, heart swelling with sadness as he thought of his own father and the grief him and the girl shared.

"Hey," he said softly. He released his grip on the bird's reins (miraculously managing to balance quite well) and reached behind him, finding MK's hands and pulling them around his torso. He gave them one last squeeze before returning his own hands to the reins. "Put your arms around me."

MK nodded, even though she knew he couldn't tell from being in front of her. She tightened her grip on him and leaned forward, burying her face into his back and taking in his scent. She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the tears coming as she silently sobbed into him.
