Chapter 1 - Mary Katherine, Queen of the Forest.

"I present to you...Mary Katherine of the forest!" the loud troll yelled.

"Or you could just call me MK?" she grumbled. She didn't like being crowned by a dang TROLL. Nod could do it! Or Ronin? Why a troll? UGHHHHHH! she thought.

Just then, Nod and Ronin flew in on their birds. Of course, Nod's bird was still the same old fleabag. But she appreciated that he found a bird he found special, like Tara did for the pod.

"Nod!" she shouted to him.

"MK!" he yelled and flew faster toward her.

"You are to call her the queen," Ronin said.

"Noooooooo! He had called me MK, he calls me MK and will call me MK. And I kinda feel uncomfortable if you call me "queen"."

Nod winked at her. "Yay!"

Ronin kneeled down and motioned for Nod to do the same. Nod looked at MK, smiled, and whispered, "I'm really glad you're the one who is queen. I don't mind kneeling to you" before kneeling.

She giggled and said, "No need! Kneeling's not necessary. Please get up!"

Nod absolutely loved the sound of her giggling. It was a sound he could listen to the whole day. It helped him relax. "Wow, things are going perfectly! No kneeling, no calling queen, and I get to see my favorite person every day!"

Ronin rolled his eyes at Nod's behavior. He wondered when the boy would learn. Nod had great potential. He just needed to reach within and pull it out.

"Ok, um I gotta go do something. Be right back!" MK told them, "and Ronin, please don't follow me. You wouldn't like to see this."

"I can handle anything, My lady," he said, "anything."

"Yeah well, you can't handle this," she said before whispering something into his ear. At once, Ronin's face flushed and he looked away in embarrassment.

MK ran off to someplace and Nod began his ultimate convincing. "Well? What did she say?" he was curious since Ronin looked really embarrassed.

"Nothing..." he mumbled, "she said not to tell."

He grumbled some gibberish. "SO hard to convince these days!"

"Anyway, let's go make the throne for her to sit on." Ronin pulled out his sword and got to cutting grass and leaves and flowers(ofc not the flowers which talk). So did Nod. When they were finished, the throne looked fit for a queen.

It had lots of yellow flowers for comfortable seating. It was made of wood and covered with leaves and grass. It was tall and the back was covered with pink flowers. Nod and Ronin had outdone themselves.

They heard her before they saw her. "I'm back!"

(look at MK and pretend Nod isn't there. I do not own this. Credit goes to whoever made this beautiful piece of art)

Nod gasped. Her usual ponytail was not there. In its place, her hair was let loose with a white dahlia as a pin. Her hairstyle was marvelous(look in pic). Nod liked the reddish-brownish color of her hair. Her shining green eyes shone even more in the sunlight. Her gorgeous lips which he had once laid his lips on were painted a magnificent red. Her skin was pale tan, a beautiful color for a queen. The chest plate was in the shape of a heart, beautifully carved. Her waist was small and perky. The bottom of the dress was inspired by Tara's dress. Leaves put in order and petals coming out from below, making a train. Her usual shoes were replaced by green whatever those are(sorry I forgot the name ?. Look in the picture for a visual).

She looked absolutely stunning. Nod's jaw dropped to the ground. "M-M-MK?!"

"What? I was gonna-"

"No no! You're beautiful just the way you are."

MK laughed and booped(OMG WHY IS THIS SO FUNNNYYYYY) his nose. "Silly Leafman."

Nod was tempted to pull her into his arms but he couldn't since Ronin was there.

"What did you whisper to Ronin?" he asked.

"I said, 'You wouldn't wanna see a girl change though'."

He clutched his stomach and laughed his head off(NOT LITERALLY). "Really Ronin? Your overprotectiveness leads to this! HAHHAHAHHAHHAHHHA!" he huffed.

"Whatever. Let's just get on with the crowning and sitting," he glumly said.

"Ronin, I know you're still upset about Queen Tara, but you have to go through the stages of grief. My mom passed away but I don't mourn and huff at everyone. I just move on. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. But you shouldn't waste your life being sad. Is that what Queen Tara would've wanted you to do?" MK consoled him.

Ronin respected MK a LOT. She still called Tara 'Queen Tara' even though she was the queen. She was a good friend to Nod. But Nod seemed to think more than just a friend(I HATE THESE WORDS! IF YOU'VE WATCHED MIRACULOUS, YOU WOULD KNOW. UGHHHH jUsT a fRiEnD hUh?). He seemed to love her.

"HDENDOWEIMALLJFJRRFEIOFIR! GUYS! YOU GUYS! COME HERE RIGHT NOW!" MK's voice thundered through the room.

"Uh oh. What did we do? Did someone destroy the throne? Did I?" Nod panicked.

"Let's go see," Ronin answered and walked into the throne room(kinda).

MK was sitting on the throne with her hand over her mouth. "This is amazing! Did you hurt yourself while getting the materials?"

"No...OWW! Ow!" Nod hopped over to a rock and sat down, examining his leg.

She rushed over and sat next to him and gasped. "Oh my gosh! That's a huge bruise! I'm could fix it if you'd let me, Nod."

"Alright, you can." No sooner than he had said that, MK was rubbing her hands all over his leg. He tried frantically to control his hormones. He tried even more frantically not to moan.

"There, it's softened. Now all I need to do is wrap some leaves around..." she mumbled to herself as she healed him in a matter of minutes.

"WOW MK! I feel so much better!" Nod exclaimed, admiring his completely healed leg.

"I do spend time alone so I usually have more time to learn and do this stuff."

"You won't be alone from now," Nod winked.

She chuckled, "I know I won't with you here!"

Ronin cleared his throat. He had felt uncomfortable so he was going to quickly post-crown her queen and run away so the two could be alone.

"Oh! Ronin, sorry. Let's get to queening," MK said.

After the queening...

MK went to her room(kinda) and found that it was nicely done for her. She trudged over to her leaf and sat down. Suddenly someone jumped down from the trees into her area.

"Ah!" she exclaimed and slapped the figure.

It let out a yelp as it fell. She looked closely and saw that it was Nod! "NOD?!"

"Owwww..."

"I'm so sorry!"

"It's ok."

"What are you doing here?"

"Can't a handsome leafman come to see his favorite person?"

She giggled and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

"Yes, Nod. He can," she said.

He was blushing like crazy but then something took over him and he pulled her into his arms.

MK was surprised but she welcomed the embrace.

"Um, Nod. Can you ask Ronin to make me big again so I can return to Dad?" she asked. There was a potion that Ronin had to make MK big and small.

"Sure!"

After convincing Ronin...

"ALRIGHT! FINE!" Ronin grunted in frustration.

"Thanks, Ronin!" MK tittered.

MK becomes big but suddenly something happens.

Nod is carried up into the air with her! "MK! WHAT IS HAPPENING?"

"Y-you're becoming my size!"
