Bipper curiously followed this strange tiny man into a different part of the forest. All attention from the other tiny men turned to stare at him as he was brought into their home.

" Hey guys, this is leafy. Leafy, this is Carson....Steve...Jason....and Carl...and...Boy, do you have a lot of fellas to meet." Jeff continued to say names but most of them were ignored.

Bipper sat down and looked at his surroundings, feeling the grass and the moss surrounding him. The moss was soft and moist, like a tiny pillow. His fingers dug into the ground, watching as the dirt broke and crumbled between his fingers.

"And I think that's everyone...Welcome to the Gnomes, kid!" Jeff smiled, pulling Leafy closer to him," How about we make u some actual clothes first...kinda weird having you walking around almost naked..".

Bipper was taken to a small room where he was shoved to a small set of gnomes, who started to measure the different parts of his body. He was fascinated with everything around him, all of it was so new to him..

He grabbed some of the fabric and fumbled it around. He looked closer, analyzing the intricate design with each thread that wove together to make this strange new material. His attention switched back to the gnomes who shoved him into a chair and went to work.

Bipper walked out with his new, gnomish attire, he especially liked his new hat. He waddled around as he followed Jeff, these new things on his feet felt weird...

Bipper's attention turned back to his surroundings, everything had a soft, peaceful feel to it as the tree loomed over them, as if the trees were their guardians.

As days passed, Bipper blended in and learned how the gnomes behaved...mostly. He was a very curious little fella and often got into situations he shouldn't be in, luckily Jeff always found a way to get him out.

Bipper watched outside the door as it rained heavily outside, it was the first time he ever saw rain. Jeff started to block the door with a rock that was twice his size, grunting as he did so. Bipper watched as the rock closed out the view of the rain and the moss that blanketed the trees, trapping them inside..

"Why can't I watch the rain again?", He asked, hugging his knees.

"Because..." Jeff wheezed, short of breath," The rain...can..be...dangerous."

Bipper just became more confused, it seemed just fine to him. He decided not to question it any further, Jeff always knew best anyways...

Bipper crawled over to his bed and covered up with his small blanket. Jeff said goodnight and went to bed as well, clearly tired from his kingly duties. Bipper stared at the rock as the darkness consumed his sight. The putter of the rain was very soothing, like nature was trying to make a song...a lullaby perhaps.

His eyelids became heavy as he drifted off into a deep slumber.

When the next day came along, the rain formed puddles that scattered across the ground overnight. He looked onto the puddles, his face became slightly pale...

Little did he know he saw his own reflection for the first time...

He quickly tried to get the person out, panicking as he truly believed someone was stuck in the puddle. The person could've be sincerely hurt, or worse!

"SOMEONE'S TRAPPED!!". He exclaimed as the gnomes came over, all muttering in confusion as they couldn't see anyone but murky water.

"What do you mean there's someone trapped?",Jeff came over and asked, due to the draw of attention Bipper gave to himself...

He paused, noticing the person was gone," They were right here!", he stared at the puddle as the dirt soon settled once again.

Bipper panted as he looking back the puddle as saw a faint reflection of himself return into view. Jeff came over and looked into the puddle as Bipper pointed straight at his reflection, which made Jeff burst into laughter.

"W-what's so funny?! They need our help!".

"Leafy, that's your reflection!", he chuckled.

"My reflection?", Bipper stared at Jeff," What's a reflection?".

Jeff breathed heavily, leaning against Bipper. Bipper was a bit curious, but also agitated because Jeff laughed at him, making him feel a bit...stupid.

"Your reflection is um...it's what you look like...ya know...." Jeff explained.

Bipper looked back into the puddle," So...that's what I look like?"

Jeff nodded and turned to the others," Alright, false alarm, false alarm! No one is hurt!".

The gnomes scattered, grunting and mumbling as they left. Bipper continued to stare at his reflection....Was this how he really looked? Is this what everyone saw everyday? Bipper touched his face, watching his reflection mimic his movements....

This....was him.

He sighed, feeling kinda stupid for thinking someone else was in the puddle. He hated not knowing things, making him seem like a fool to everyone else. He felt everyone gave him judging glances, no matter how hard Jeff convinced him everything was ok.

"Hey, you ok?",Jeff sounded concerned...

Bipper looked at him, then back at the puddle. There was a small moment of silence...

"Is this really me?", he croaked.

Jeff stared at Bipper, his face brightened with an idea. He stuck his hand into the puddle, swishing the murky water around. Bipper watched as his reflection quickly vanished, then appeared.

Jeff smiled," see, there's no one in there, so that's definitely you!"

Bipper smiled at Jeff's efforts to make him feel ok. Jeff became someone he could look up to, not physically cause he's so darn short, but mentally. Jeff taught Bipper almost everything he knew...but yet it wasn't enough..

Bipper hugged Jeff," Thanks, Jeff.."

Jeff was surprise by the sudden hug, but slowly hugged back....

Bipper helped the others clean up what damage the rain happened the night before. Then He returned to his small bed he had, curling up with his blanket wrapping around him. Sounds of crickets chirping and other forest sounds filled the air. He breathed heavily, glancing all around.

He couldn't tell that he already closed his eyes or if it was the darkness that surrounded them.

When he opened them again the atmosphere was completely different and new. There was no ground or sky, only stars and darkness...

"Hello?", He called out.

There was no reply...

His golden eyes glanced as he floated around in the vast pit of space. It felt so, so very cold, like a endless loop of cold air wrapped around him. He didn't like this, he was scared......

Suddenly he heard a voice echo....

"khos ph"

Bipper turned to the echo, looking around the empty void of darkness to see no one. His body stiffened as he began to feel he was being watched...

Before he could even turn around, something grabbed him by his waist and yanked him down, deeper into the dark abyss.

He snapped awake to see a group of gnomes crowding around him with shady looking faces. One covered his mouth with a cloth, which made his body feel...weird.

Everything started to blur and spin. It felt like he was in a blender, everything going around and around and around....

The colors started to flicker and change rapidly...

Yellow..

Red...

Grey..

Pink..

Green...

Blue..

Pink...

Then everything went black...

Sticks...with grass?

No, No...that can't be right...

Bipper thought to himself as he slowly awoke...

Wait...Those are trees! What..why am I seeing trees?

"gr brx have the wkh vwxii?",a voice rang out.

Bipper tried to move his hands but his wrists were bounded by a strange vine. He looked around to see the gnomes from before talking to two strange beings with yellow clothes covering their heads so their faces couldn't really be seen...

"Yeah we jrw lw. Now, Zkhuh duh wkh vwxii zh wanted?", One being asked, tossing a bag to one of the gnomes.

Bipper didn't understand what was going on, the dizzy feeling and the weird way their words were changing didn't help out one bit...

"We couldn't ilqg lw vr wklv lv wkh ehvw zh frxog do.."

The two beings came over and looked at him, from their point of view, he looked really high and very out of it...

Their eyes widened as they stared him, as if they recognized him....

"Fine, We'll wdnh klp...", The other one said as they tried to grab Bipper.

Bipper blinked slowly, stumbling and tripping over everything as the Two took him away. He didn't know what was going on or why this was happening...

"Don't worry, zh jrwfkd Glssb...", One smiled at him.

"Im not vxuh lw Glsshu wkr, look at his eyes..." The other pointed out.

The two continued to chatter as Bipper continued to stumble, their conversation becoming more and more scrambled until he eventually passed out in their arms...
