14. Haven

"What is this place?" Artemis said.

"This is Haven." Holly said.

"Hey, Holly, what's this?" Mulch said.

"He's a human." Holly said.

"A "hoo-man"?" Mulch said.

"Hey! Oh, no! I'm blind! Oh, no! I can see! It's a miracle! Another perfect landing. No worries. I'm okay. Thank you for caring. It's just a few bruises. Nobody cares about me." Trouble said.

"I do, bat man." Artemis said.

"You sure?" Trouble said.

"I'm positive." Artemis said.

"Only fools are positive." Trouble said.

"Are you sure?" Artemis said.

"I'm positive. I fell for it!" Trouble said.

"I should have known!" Artemis said.

"Come on, Artemis." Trouble said.

"Holly, we were so worried about..." Root said. "What's that?"

"Father, I'd like you to meet Artemis." Holly said.

"Hi." Artemis said.

"He's a human!" Holly said.

"Somehow I thought they'd be...bigger." Root said.

"Well, I had a little accident, and he sort of shrank. But just think...humans back in the forest." Holly said.

"Yep, there goes the neighborhood." Trouble said.

"Be nice, Trouble." Holly said.

"First thing, all these trees go. Then come your highways, then come your shopping malls and your parking lots...and your convenience stores." Trouble said.
