Hey, Epic fans. Or if not, hi. Anyway, I saw Epic a million times and thought: What if M.K. was a leafwoman? Therefore this fic was born.

Disclaimer: I do not own Epic or it's characters.

"M.K.! Time to wake up!" M.K. groaned and snuggled deeper underneath the leafy blanket. It was morning already? Her father threw open her bedroom door, "Rise and shine! Another beautiful day." He drew the curtains and sunlight filtered into the room.

"Don't wanna'." She mumbled, burying herself deeper underneath the covers. She felt the bed sink under his weight," You're going to be late for your first day of leafman training." He said in a sing-song voice.

M.K. shot upright,"What?" She half-yelled, half-screamed at her father, who watched her with an amused expression,"Calm down. It's not for another hour, but you should have seen your face!" He hopped down the stairs, still laughing. She just sat there for a few seconds.

Good luck, M.K. You'll need it, she finally thought to herself and got out of bed.

After a quick bath and a few pieces of berries for breakfast, she felt like herself again. Her fiery-red hair was tied up with a piece of leaf. She was wearing her old blouse and leaf-woven skirt over a leggings-sort-of-thing that stopped mid-calf. She even forgot about the little joke earlier.

"Good luck, dear!" Her father called out as she left. She smiled and waved goodbye.

Once she got to the training grounds, she didn't feel like herself anymore. Rather a very nervous 16-year-old girl who barely knew a thing about fighting or flying a bird.

M.K. hesitantly pushed open the door and stepped inside and watched in confusion as Jinn walked from one direction to the next. Little bits of conversations floated toward her. She almost wanted to step outside to avoid the noise. At least, until someone saw her standing there.

He was handsome with his chocolate locks and hazel eyes. What was she thinking?

He awkwardly stepped forward and extended his right hand out to her,"Hi. Haven't seen you around here. I'm Nod. And, yes, I know I have a funny name, just deal with it."

M.K. laughed, her nervousness disappearing in a blink of an eye," I'm Mary Katherine. But you can call me M.K." She seemed to feel electricity when she shook his hand. What in the name of the forest was she thinking?

Awkward silence.

"Uh, I should take you to see Ronin." He said and led her through the maze of Jinn and training rooms.

When they found him, he was training some Leafmen in the art of kicking butt. Yes, fighting.

He was watching them fight and saying some tips like 'When your opponent attacks, try to hold your ground. Don't let him knock you over. Bad defense' or 'Keep your weapon out and away from you. Makes it easier to block or attack.'

"Ronin!" Nods called. The general looked over and seemed to understand immediately. He walked over, "Nod. Go and get some armor on. I'll handle this."

Nod nodded (couldn't help it guys xD),winked at me, and joined the class.

Ronin crossed his arms, "So you're the new recruit."

I nodded mutely. His eyes seemed to stare holes through my skull.

"You resemble your father, kid." Ronin chuckled, resting a hand on my shoulder, "He was an old friend of mine."

"You know a lot of people, Ronin." Nod stepped back out, wearing traditional Leafmen armor, his helmet resting between his hand and hip,"My dad, her dad-who else?"

"You underestimate me." Ronin's stern fatherly face was planted back on,"Help her with the armor. Meet me and the class in ten minutes."

Nod grinned," Sure. Come on, M.K."

I love those two. So cute! Did you like it? I hope you didn't hate it.

Please review.

If any of you know Maximum Ride or Percy Jackson, you'll hear from them in my AN's. :D

Fang: No, you won't.

Me: Fang, don't be so negative.

Fang: I am negative. What you gonna do 'bout it?

Me: I'll make a fic about you and Max :)

Fang:*eyes widen* Um...I'm not negative, not at all.

Me: Muhahaha! Too late, thinking about it!:D
