Home, I was finally home. I know it might seem that I was skipping out on people that needed me but I just couldn't stay. True I did like all the people that I had met along the way but I'm just not queen material, I can't fit in the mold and the standards that Ronin is trying hold me too. I know its childish, but I just got my dad back, and started thinking he wasn't crazy.

I shook my head to clear my mind. I had to concentrate.

"Big. Big..." Ok so it wants going like I planned in my head.

"Abracadabra?" Ok magic words are a no go.

Let me bring you up to speed, first off finally escaped Moon Haven, and after my little tussle with some guards, I still feel a little bad about that, made my way back to my dad's house. Where I now find myself. More precisely his backyard and going down a list of futile magic words to get bigger. I can make a plant grow but I can't make myself bigger.

I dropped down to the ground and leaned back against a blade of grass with a sob. I just wanted things to go back to normal, so be big again. Looking over at the little plant beside me I willed it to grow and swiftly it did, getting larger and turning into dandylion.

Great everything here grows but me... everything grows...that's it!

I retracted the growing unease that was forming in the pit of stomach and stealed myself, grow I had to grow not get bigger, that's where I made my mistake.

I concentrated on growing not getting bigger. While this seems like one and the same for what I was doing its not. When I make things grow its feeling, I guess it's more I'm feeling what ever it is that I'm making grow. I can feel how its reacting and responding to my, what? It's not like I'm forcing it to happen it's more like I'm encouraging it to grow.

I closed my eyes and concentrated and I could feel the power welling up inside me and encouraging me to grow larger not so much like the plants. It was strange like a looping in my head with a feeling that wouldn't stop. Before I could feel the encouragement of the planes but now I was on the encouraging end and the receiving end of the power. Like I said it was odd and loopy.

Finally I lessened the power and slowly very slowly I could feel the power fading from me and then I opened my eyes. The world around me was... more normal-ish? I was bigger well taller and not an inch tall. Then I started looking around and found that I was a lot taller than before. Where before I was around a solid five foot tall, now I had to be at least a foot taller.

Looking over my body I found that my clothes had become proportional to may now larger self. Part of me wanted to complain but I decided now was not the time that if I had to gain a a foot in height then I would worry about the small things... well small in comparison to being less than an inch tall.

As I was looking over myself I hear a creak and slam of a door which drew my attention to the porch and my father still disheveled from his joint through the woods and trying to outrun the bats.

"Mar... Mary Katherine?" He stuttered as a smile came over him and the concerned slipped away as he came toward me. "I mean MK." He said correcting himself as he took me into an ouquered embrace but not at all unwelcome.

"Yeah Dad, it's me. I'm back." I said genuinely happy to see him again. In the beginning I had just thought of my father as a loon, but over the last three days there was no way I could say that now. He smiled and pulled away his gaze appraising me and his brow furrowed ever so slightly.

"And your taller."

Well I was back at least.

I had been home for a whole week and for the most part, disregarding my extra height and the power to make plants bend to my whim everything was turning out ok. My father and I seemed to really have a chance to be a family and over the week I had learned a lot about my father that before a week and a half ago I would have just chalked up to him being a loon and looking for little people that didn't exist.

Now however I was living proof that he was 100% right. He was never crazy. If my mother and I had just had a little more faith in him we could have stayed a family.

Can't think like that, should'a, would'a, could'a.

"So MK," My father called from his desk, and I turned from my bird watching out the window to him. "You said that they would ride Hummingbirds, do you know why they used them?"

I really didn't but thinking it logically it was pretty simple. I looked out the windows and absentmindedly opened it as I talked to dad.

"Well think about it. There extremely agile and they can stop on a dime. I know when I was riding back it was much faster than Nod's Dove, while the Dove could go much longer distances before needing to rest it was not as agile as the Hummingbird." I looked out the window just as a small green streak flew into the house. Both my dad and I looked as the streak whizzed around and came to a stop right in front of my face.

It was the same bird that I had flown here on, I was surprised he was still around I would have expected him to have flown back to Moonhaven by now. I held a finger up almost meeting the little bird in midair as it landed on my outstretched finger. It was so light; if I had not been looking I would think it was just a breeze blowing over my hand it was so light. It seemed to still know it was me, even if I was a hundred times its size. I could see the saddle and the bridle was still on her and I worried that it might hurt her if it was left.

I smiled at the now small creature and looked to my dad.

"See very fast and stopped on a dime." I motioned for him to come over so he could get a better look as my ex-mounts riding gear. "Just be slow and don't frighten him."

My dad moved over and with his magnifying glass began to look as close as he dared as the small bird's head twitched from side to side taking in everything. I slowly raised my hand and gently stroked his head. The little bird seemed to look up at me expectantly wanting something.

"Dad." He look up from his scratch pad from his doodle and the notes he was jotting down. I didn't give him a chance answer. "Can you hand me those tweezers. On the table. I forgot to take off his bridal and saddle before I got bigger and I don't think it would be good to leave them on him. I'm sorry that I left them on him all this time."

Dad handed me the tweezers and went back to his sketches as I slowly and gently removed the saddle. This was so much easier when my hands were the right size to work the buckle. I was surprised that my once mount didn't fly off as I worked but he seemed rather content on my finger and to let me work.

"It's amazing that he just lets you do that. Amazing, just amazing." My father said as we each finished our respective work.

"Well it seems that after all this time he still remembers you."

The little bird hopped around on my finger for a moment then just like when he came in he was gone in a flash of green he was gone and out the window. I would forever admire the Hummingbird, before then were just kind of fun to look at when they would feed from flowers or those red liquid dispensers that some people put it out for them. However having the chance to ride one changes your whole prospective of the little guys.

"I think he just wanted to get that bridle off." I smiled at my dad and his exuberance that I know believed in his passion.

"Maybe. Well I think that's enough for now how about lunch."

"All right, that sounds good.

Time flies when your having fun. I'm not sure really how much fun I was having, I have been enjoying my overly exuberant father for the past two weeks but at the same time I can't help but feel I'm missing something. That something just wasn't right. The walls of my room felt like they were just closing in on me. Well every room in the house felt that way.

The only time that the feeling left me was when I was outside, even being out on the front porch was like a weight was lifted from my shoulders. I don't want to sound like a hippy here but I think it was being outside being out in the open and just being around nature.

Maybe it was the power that I had gained form Queen Tera, I did feel like that power was thriving and when I was inside it felt like it was coiling up inside of me like a snake that was irritated and ready to strike out against something it didn't like. I guess that made sense I had kind of taken it away from everything that it was involved with.

The door opened and out walked my dad with Ozzy in his arms. The little pug licked and grunted happily in my dads arms as he took a seat beside me. He was quiet for a while as he pet Ozzy and he finally calmed down.

"Penny for your thoughts... Well maybe an IOU, I don't really carry change on me." He said.

What was a supposed to say, I couldn't really tell him that I had magical plant powers or could I. he already knew that I had shrunk to less than an inch tall. Why was it so much more to take in that I could make plants do what I wanted. I looked out in the yard at the Oak tree there and the acorns that were on the ground. If your going to do something amazing in front of a parent then you might as well make it good.

"Ok dad I'll show you, better than trying to explain it before explaining it just won't have the same effect." Say what you will about my dad, he had let me have myspace and does not come off as the most observant when it comes to family. Tiny little people he can just about see everything family not so much, or so I thought. He pegged me, he knew that there was more than my exciting adventure just full of wonder but he didn't pray until I had been moping around for the last two weeks.

I had not heard or seen anyone from Moonhaven, and to be honest I think I was a little disappointed. I didn't want to go back, well ok that was a lie I wanted to go back but I just can't be the Queen that Ronin wants. I'm not Queen material, but I wouldn't mind seeing everyone again.

Especially Nod.

The realization that it wasn't so much that I wanted to see every but rather I wanted to see him. I'm not one of those love at first sight girls, nor was I so naive to think that we were in love for the time we had spent together, but there was something there that could be built upon. So maybe with time we could have had more.

Love is like a flower, you have to nurture it to make it strong and it can grow beautiful.

Mom was always more eloquent with words than me.

I stopped in the middle of the yard and leaned down and picked up an acorn. My father just looked own from the porch at me, a very curious expression on his face. With the heel of my boot kicked a small divot in the soil and placed the acorn in the hole then gently covered it. I make sure to stand back more and my father came down the steps of the porch and made his way closer to me, Ozzy still in his arms but still content.

"Stay right there dad," I held my hand up and he stopped a few paces from me. I to stepped back beside him and just gave him one of my award winning grins. "So yes there was something else that happened other than me shrinking to the high of a dime. Just don't freak out ok."

"MK I think at the point I'm freaked out as much as possible."

"OK" He had a point he was doing pretty good with everything. So with that in mind I let the power flow out of me, I let it touch the acorn, and slowly I felt it welling up inside of the small seedling and then start to expand, its life growing more and more and I encouraged it to grow. My eye were closed and I worked and I could feel it growing more and more, than it felt almost as if I was no longer in encouraging it and it was starting to pull the power from me.

It wanted more from then I wanted to give and for a moment it scared me until almost like a force of will I told it that it didn't need that much, that it was not the one in charge. It was like a child at the store that wanted the candy bar and I was its mother and I was arguing with it telling it no because it didn't need it. I could feel that the new Oak tree was growing larger and larger till finally I let the power lul and slowly stop like slowly turning off a forest of water.

With a fulfilling sigh I opened my eyes to see my hand work was really proud of myself once I saw what I had created. In front of me was a Oak tree that if left alone would have taken at lease a human life time to grow to its size. I turned to my dad wearing an impish grin.

"So what do you think?" My father for his part was silent, he looked up at the tree and then to me and in a swift movement handed Ozzy to me and promptly collapsed to the ground.

"Oh maaan!"
