A sudden downpour of leaves filled the area and Pips' vision. Something hard and rough suddenly pressed irritably against his back and he was finding it hard to keep balance. Once he found his footing and the foliage ceased falling, Pips couldn't help but stare at himself in shock and amazement.

He had grown far bigger than normal human height. He was hunched over as his head and shoulders had hit the branches of the trees and could practically see the whole area from a birds eye view. Being used to either being smaller or the same size as the things around him, he was more than a little freaked to be seeing things from a hugely different perspective.

He could also feel different textures beneath his feet, because his foot span was so big. From his right foot he could feel the rush of water against his toes and the rocky edge of the stream under the ball of his foot. The rest of his foot rested on either dry sandy ground or luscious green grass. Having never felt these textures all at once before had him very confused indeed.

A flicker of blue near his face had him frowning disapprovingly.

'Crysta if you don't turn me back right now, I'm going to go over to the human camp and trample on it.'

Crysta had to cover her ears at the volume of Pips voice and looked at him carefully, trying to think of what she did wrong. She was also trying to suppress her giggles. If she had done this to Zack, she would've been terrified at his reaction, but since this was Pips, it didn't matter at all.

Crysta shrugged her shoulders and told him, 'I guess I could take a bash at it.'

Pips frowned, clearly unable to hear what she said.

'I'LL TRY!!!' she shouted.

Pips sighed and prepared himself, although he wasn't sure what to prepare for.

Crysta summoned magic to her hands and it sparkled and flew from her fingers. She willed the magic to shorten, to shrink, to reduce and hoped it worked better than when she first tried with Zack.

She stopped the magic flow and opened her eyes. A smile bloomed on her face.

Pips wasn't fairy size but at least he was the size Crysta had first intended him to be. Human size.

Pips quickly looked at himself and another frown graced his face.

'This is still too big.'

'No it's not, it's perfect. Now we can talk to the humans on their turf.'

'We?' he said, looking down at her to demonstrate an obvious size difference, 'I don't see you turning into a giant fairy.'

Crysta made an incoherent sound and placed her arms behind her back, innocently looking around with no intention of changing herself.

Pips rolled his eyes.

'You owe me big time for this.'

Pips leapt into the air to take off...only to fall face first into the ground. He spat out a mouthful of dirt and growled in frustration. Looking at his wings accusingly, he made them beat so frantically that they made a loud droning noise and everything within a 2m radius either bowed over or blew away. Pips barely even lifted himself off the ground.

Collecting what was left of his dignity, Pips picked himself up and brushed off the dirt.

He ignored Crysta, who hovered near by, clearly restraining the hysterical laughter that was about to burst.

'Lets go then,' he said bitterly.

Pips began walking and had to resist his natural urge to take off. It was going to be an interesting morning.

Reaching the edge of the forest, Pips peered at the human campsite nervously. He felt uncomfortable in his human getup, his physical size and weight made it impossible to fly and he was constantly conscious of Crysta who was standing on his shoulder and hiding in his hair.

'You ready?' she asked softly.

'As I'll ever be,' he commented, 'I still don't see why I'm the one who had to be enlarged seeing as you're the one who's going to be doing all the talking.'

'Well...I didn't know what would happen if I became human size. For all I knew I might have become too human and lost my magic and then how would I be able to change back?'

Pips blinked. He never thought of that, but then he frowned and thought she probably hadn't either at the time she enlarged him. He let out a huge sigh, personally he thought that she had screwed up too many times to dare try doing anything to herself.

He quickly checked if he still had access to his magic and was happy to find that he had. Not that it would be of any use at this point.

'So where am I going?'

Crysta pointed straight ahead.

'You see that tent right at the back? The one that's slightly bigger than the others? Head for that one.'

Pips carefully avoided stepping on any shrubbery underfoot and then once clear, strode rather stiffly towards the camp.

Many of the humans stopped what they were doing and stared at him.

Pips ignored these probing eyes and continued onwards. Never really having much of a problem with self-consciousness, he didn't fully understand the feeling of it until now. Being almost completely exposed with only his yellow petaled skirt covering his privates, as well as his inhuman ears and wings, to them he must look really weird.

He almost got through the campsite unchallenged, until one of them finally broke out of their staring stupor and stood in his path.

'Whoa whoa dude, where did you come from? Look you can't really come here cuz we're working on a serious project and...' the human sniggered. 'Dude where did ya get your outfit?'

Pips looked at him confused. The human confronting him was no more dressed than he was, wearing only a pair of denim shorts and boots.

'I could ask you the same thing.'

'Nah, seriously. Those must be the most realistic wings I've ever seen and man! You've even got the pointy ears. Talk about authentic. Let me in on your secret man, where'd ya get'um from?'

Pips was beginning to get irritated with the way this human spoke. Not only did he call him by his least favourite word (dude), he was breaking up sentences by randomly saying 'man' and if Pips hadn't already known that the guy was intentionally missing out letters to make words blur into each other, he would have thought there was something wrong with him.

'Look, I need to speak with whoever's in that tent,' Pips said, completely ignoring the guy's question.

The amused smile soon vanished from the human's face and his expression turned uncomfortable.

'Dude, listen, its pretty clear you're a forest fanatic and we really appreciate the support but ya can't just waltz in 'ere dressed as a Sugarplum and expect to voice your opinion. We've got regulations man.'

'Say you know Zack,' Crysta whispered.

'I know Zack-' Pips relayed.

'He's a friend of mine.'

'...he's a friend of mine.'

Pips swore she was teasing him and stabbing at his pride, but surprisingly it worked. The guy took on a more friendly but annoying attitude and practically welcomed them into the camp...with a forced detour to Zack's tent first.

There was a groan and a rustle of material from his tent, clearly unhappy about being disturbed. Pips made a point to enjoy every moment of his discomfort. The zip finally opened and a ragged Zack's head poked out.

'Crysta said you looked terrible but its worse than I thought,' Pips said rather smugly.

Zack gawked at him.

'Pips?! When did you get so...'

Zack blinked and drew his gaze to the little fairy waving at him from Pips' hair.

'...big.'

Rather short but amusing little chapter, things will start to go up a notch next time :) R&R
