"Come on Nod. You said you would go easy on me," I said while walking around, trying to find him. I don't know why I thought playing hide and seek with a two inch leafman would have been a good idea. He could literally hide anywhere.

I sat on my bed, carefully searching around my room. Every nick and cranny has had my eyes scanned past it but nothing seemed out of place.

"At least give me a hint. It's been like twenty minutes."

After I said that, one of my old dolls fell over. My eyes zipped towards that area. There was a dollhouse with dolls surrounding the outside. I searched, thinking he might be hiding behind one. A small speck of leaf green through the dollhouse window caught my eyes instead.

Getting up, I walked over to the dollhouse.

"Finally found you." I slowly swung the doll house open, watching as Nod gave me a small wave. He was sitting in one of the plastic chairs, laid back and relaxed. He started to move his lips as I quickly dialed my ear piece that Dad made for me.

"*Static* *Static* -only afte- *Static* -asically just told you where I was. I wish I could tell you that you were getting better but I don't want to lie to you."

"This is officially my least favorite game," I exasperated. But it was his favorite.

Nod stood up, leaping onto my shoulder in one jump. "Then why don't you just ask the Queen to shrink you down for a little bit," he asked.

I gave him a small smile. "You know I'm leaving in an hour. I can't risk not making it back in time. You're just going to have to suffer through three days without me. Your leafman duties will probably keep you busy enough anyways."

I felt his head knock into my neck; his breath brushing my skin.

"Just hurry back."

"Okay," I promised him.
