(:Small Reality:)

Dear Readers,

I am so very happy that you all liked the last chapter! I worked really hard on it just for you guys who read and like my story. I SHALL CONTINUE! Plus, I passed my classes and I'm going to the next grade! (I just found out yesterday) I will remain in the same school and I won't get kicked out. So I would update all my stories when I get the chance. My schedule is kind of tight so that's why I don't get to update my other stories. If those of you that want a preview of the next chapter, I will give you another challenge. I think the last one was too hard, heh heh. So if you want to see the next challenge, finish reading this chapter and then read the authors note at the bottom of the page.

P.S I hope that you all are reading the authors notes. It will help you so when the author is not going to update in a while at least you know why. In this case, you need to know that the challenge is on the bottom.

"That was too close," I said breathing hard; leaning against the wall for support.

'That scared the shit out of me! That 'Big one' came out of nowhere! We got lucky that the dumb ass managed to bang his head on that thingy that….I don't know what that is. I guess you can say that it helps them see what's outside?'

"Veh~…You could say that again," Feliciano said, hand on his chest and breathing hard. He probably looks worse than me…and he definitely needs to start working out more because who get tired from running that fast? I mean, looks at how fat he is!

I look at Feliciano's stomach and then his hips. Actually, he just has a feminine figure… HAH! He looks like a women and I look manlier! HA HA HA! I look down at myself and see that I have the same figure.

'Man~ I do too,' I thought, frowning.

"Lovi~ are you listening?"

"Hm?" I hummed.

Feliciano pouts, "I was asking if we could go home now."

"Oh…yeah…sure," I said walking further into the hole with Feliciano.

'Now that I think about it, I have never seen that 'Big one' before and he looks like he knows that we exist…I don't think I want Feliciano to hang around outside now that he has actually confirmed that we exist.'

We walk father into the hole and start to see light. Once we got close enough to the light, we look up to see Matthew a few feet up.

"HEY! MATTHEW!" I yell, cupping my hand around my mouth to make my voice louder.

Matthew looks down at us and smiles, "HEY! I'll let down the string just wait a minute."

Matthew has blonde-curly hair and violet eyes. He is one of my best friends next to my other best, Kiku. Matthew works as the Roper, he brings down a rope for the Adventurers who travel from outside the house to find Special things and food. He sometime just helps out with other stuff like cooking and cleaning. I guess you could say that he acts like a house wife most of the time.

"Feliciano, Lovino I'm letting the rope down now!" Matthew said turning from whatever he was doing. He threw the thick-brown rope down and it landed in front of me.

I looked up at Matthew with a grin. "Thanks!"

(^_^)

"So don't do it again, okay?" Ludwig said with his arms crossed.

After I totally missed the chance to catch the Petites, Ludwig came in the room to check up on me. I tried to tell him that I saw the Petites but once again, he was not trying to hear me and that's how it lead to me getting a long lecture about how it's not possible for small people to be on Earth and how it's not scientific. Ugh! He gets on my nerves when he does that! THEY ARE REAL! I know I'm not crazy and I will prove to him that they are real.

"Gilbert! You're not going to do it again right?" Ludwig said louder; getting angry because I didn't respond.

"Yes! Yes! I understand. It won't happen again," I mumbled, slouching in my seat; pouting.

'I am so not doing what he says! I will catch one and show it to him! No matter what it takes,' I thought, slouching even more in my seat.

"Okay, well, I am going to go down stairs and continue to read what I was reading before I got distracted by someone," Ludwig said saying 'someone' louder and walking outside of my room.

I sigh and look back outside the window.

'I will catch you…'

(=_=)

"Veh~," I sighed, sitting on my bed and staring out the window.

It has been two days since I went outside and that is because nonno and fratello says that I won't be careful enough if I went outside and that that guy that we saw knows about us. Why can't they trust me on certain stuff! They are acting like I'm completely vulnerable, weak, and fragile like a girl. Yes, I like people to protect me when I know that I can't do something but I know that I can handle myself when I'm outside. I'm also the best runner here!

I sigh again and turn around to face the picture on the wall of the 'Big one' that I have a crush on. The picture was of him watering flowers. His blonde hair was loose and not pushed back like it always is and he was wearing a white tang top with loose grey sweats. My brother says that it's not normal to like a 'Big one' but to me, I think that there is nothing wrong with that.

"Aah~ If only I was a 'Big one'," I sighed dreamily.

So, that's the third chapter! XD I hope that you all like it!~

And for the next challenge so that special person could win and get a preview for the next chapter, You will have to translate the following word below:

Ich liebe dich italien

So that's it! Make sure you review!~

-Ciao~
