No Big Deal
Chapter 1: A Story Served with Pancakes
———
Alejandra Sanchez is an average girl starting her Sophomore year of high school. She’s got good grades, great friends, and a loving, if a bit dysfunctional, family. Perfectly normal… almost. There is something that makes Ale different from the rest of her family, the rest of the world even. She’s only 4 inches tall. But it’s fine, her height hasn’t stopped her from living a perfectly normal human life and nothing’s gonna stop her now. That is until one night she encounters someone and he’s just as small as she is. Her whole world view shatters as she encounters someone who knows what she is, a borrower.
———
Alejandra dashed into the Queen’s hedge maze, the entire deck following closely behind. She hoped to confuse them but she didn’t really know the maze any better. She knew she couldn’t out run them for long, they were cards after all. They didn’t need to breathe, or eat, or rest, if the Queen demands, “Off with her head!” They won’t stop until heads rolled.
Unfortunately for Alejandra, her breathes we’re getting slower, her steps heavier, she was going to collapse any second. She stopped by the rose bush she had helped to paint red earlier. Little did she know then that would be exactly what lead her to becoming a fugitive, mere minutes away from saying goodbye to her own head. She could not rest easy as the stomping of the guards’ marching grew louder and louder. If she could not out run these soldiers she had to come up with a plan, her only two options being to hide or fight. The clearing she found herself in was large and spacious with no obvious hiding places in sight. She could attempt to hide in the walls of the maze itself but she worried the sound of the leaves rustling would alert the guards to her hiding spot. The only other plan would to be to prepare for a fight, but that don’t seem like a viable option either. She had just used up most of her energy running and even if she had her full strength 1 V 52 hardly seemed like an even match.
As the stomping and the shouts drew closer and closer, Alejandra resigned herself to her fate. She sat down at the foot of the rose bush and hugged her knees. She prayed that maybe now would be the time she would wake up from her dream, that her alarm would pull her back to reality before it became a nightmare. But no such thing happened. She did everything to stifle her tears but she just couldn’t hold back any longer. Tears ran down her cheeks like water from a waterfall. This whole thing felt too familiar. It was just like this when she first fell down and found herself in that wondrous little hallway with the impossibly tiny door. At the time she thought she never escape the hall until she had found the bottle simply labeled, “Drink Me.”
Then another memory came rushing back, one that inspired some spark of hope within her.
Alejandra reached into her pockets and pulled out two pieces of mushroom from either pocket. She had encountered a snobbish caterpillar earlier that afternoon who had instructed her to eat a piece of his mushroom to change her size.
“But which is which?” She muttered under her breathe. She had too much on her mind to remember which piece should make her grow and which piece would make her shrink. Lost in thought she didn’t realize how close she was to being found.
“I THINK I KNOW WHERE SHE WENT!”
“WELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST STANDING THERE, LEAD THE WAY 8!”
Their shouts were too close to be coincidence, they were going to corner her any second now. With no better ideas she ate both pieces whole. She hoped they’d still have an affect on her and not cancel out.
“If it makes me grow bigger, I stand a fighting chance… and if it makes me grow smaller, I can hide until they give up the search..”
“Halt!” Came a shout from one side of the clearing, “By order of the queen!”
The guards had finally caught up and the mushroom was not having any sort of affect. In a panic, Alejandra tried running to the exit on the other side of the clearing only to run into another group of guards. Their pursuit pushed her back to the center of the maze until she was completely surrounded.
Two cards, the Ace of Hearts, clearly the leader, and the Ace of Spades, very clearly the executioner, stepped forward.
“Alejandra,” the Ace of Hearts began to read aloud from a large scroll, “You have been declared guilty of heinous crimes against our beloved Queen of Hearts including but not limited to conspiracy to cover up illegal white roses by painting them red, causing chaos in the courtroom, insulting her majesty, so on and so forth. By order of the Queen you shall lose your head effective immediately!”
The Ace of Hearts grabbed Alejandra before she could attempt any sort of escape while the Ace of Spades happily prepared his axe, lifting it above his head. Alejandra tried to fight back, doing everything in her power to free herself from the Ace’s grip, but she couldn’t get him to budge. A terrible feeling began in her, was this stress? Was it terror? She shut her eyes waiting for the axe to swing when she felt the Ace’s grip loosen. Suddenly, confused shouting began amongst the crowd.
“What’s this?”
“How dare she do such a thing!”
“This shall be added to your list of crimes I assure you.”
Alejandra opened her eyes to see that she was now nearly two feet taller than the soldiers, and still growing at a rapid pace. She realized that feeling wasn’t fear, at least not entirely, it was the mushroom finally taking affect. Looking down she could see the cards attempting to flee from her, trying not to be crushed under her feet. She felt herself stop growing and by then her head had grazed the clouds in the sky. As for the soldiers below?
“Hmm..” She bent down with a cocky grin, picking up the two Aces, “What was that you were saying?”
The Ace of Hearts wriggled in her hand, clearly terrified but doing his best not to convey it, “Y-You are breaking the rules! You shall put me down, make yourself an appropriate size, and properly face your execution!”
The Ace of Spades nodded in agreement.
“Why should I listen to you?” Alejandra tossed them aside and watched as they floated down like autumn leaves, “You’re nothing but a pack of cards.”
While several cards retreated, just as many tried fruitlessly to attack Alejandra. However at this size, even their weapons did nothings. Alejandra would simply brush them to the side with her foot, they weren’t a threat any longer.
Suddenly, a sinking feeling at the pit of her stomach made itself known. She knew that feeling, what it meant… She wouldn’t be this giant any longer, she was beginning to grow smaller. Afraid of what might happen if she found herself at her normal size amongst the aggravated guard she ran. Her first giant steps kicked up large clouds of dirt and dust that blinded the remaining perusing cards. As she stepped over the walls of the maze she felt herself getting smaller and smaller, faster and faster. Luckily she was able to escape the Queen’s domain by the time she returned to her normal size, but she didn’t stop shrinking. She kept running and running, shrinking and shrinking until she found herself seeking refuge under a towering tree root.
She took a moment to compose herself and check her surroundings. She assumed she was in a very dark wood of some kind, but something wasn’t right. The area didn’t look like she was in a forest filled with trees and plants and the fantastical creatures she expected from this place. No, it was more accurate to say that she found her self in a pitch black void with outlines of trees and grass extremely sparse and just barely visible to her eye. She had never been here before nor did she think she could navigate in such a massive space that was nothing but darkness. Instinctually she leaned her hand against the root she was hiding by and through she could barley see it, she most certainly felt it was there. She felt around the ground until she found what felt like a giant leaf. She did her best to fashion it like a tent or even a giant blanket. She felt comfortable resting there for the time seeing as she didn’t hear anything that sounded like the cards’ patrol.
“I-I’ll just wait here til dawn,” She said to no one in particular, “When the sun rises I’ll be able to see, and maybe find a way home then.”
“But there is no dawn here,” No one in particular replied.
Startled, Alejandra looked around for the source of the voice, finding nothing. That is until the no one began to laugh. Alejandra jerked her head up and noticed the moon, the only clearly visible thing in sight. Its beautiful crescent descended down and oriented itself into a large smile as the owner of the smile materialized in front of her, the Cheshire Cat. His fur seemed to glow in the darkness, it’s color overwhelming the space around them. Alejandra had encounter this mischievous cat earlier, but she was much bigger than him earlier and it was hard not to be intimidated by his wide grin now that that alone was significantly larger than her.
“What- What are you doing here?” Alejandra yelled, fearing her voice would not be heard unless she did.
The Cat looked down, finally acknowledging the girl with his eyes rather than his grin, “I noticed you found yourself at a dead end, thought I could lend a paw so to speak.”
“This isn’t a dead end. I was stuck in a dead end back the Queen’s maze, but this place is huge. In the morning I can look fo-“
The Cat cut her off, “But there is not morning in Tulgey Wood, and this is a dead end because you’ve stopped moving, but haven’t reached your end,” Then there was a pause, “Unless this is where you want to call your end?”
“I- no! I don’t want to spend of my life here! I want to wake up already! I… I WANT TO GO HOME.”
“Home? If you want to go home, and you go home by waking up… why haven’t you woken up already?”
That question stuck Alejandra like a ton of bricks. Why hasn’t she woken up? It wasn’t for a lack of trying. Was she just trapped in this dream for the foreseeable future? All she could muster was, “I don’t know…”
“I see, perhaps,” His spoke, grin unchanging, “I could help?”
“Help? Help how?“
“Isn’t it obvious? I can wake you up.”
“You can? Then please, wake me up!”
“I don’t think I should right now.”
“What?!” Alejandra wanted to scream so many thing at this troublesome cat but she felt like her lungs couldn’t continue for much longer, “You just told me I should wake up and now you refuse to help me?!”
“You see, Alice, my services come at a price. Are you satisfied with who you are right this second?”
“What does that have to do with your price?”
“That is the price, Are you satisfied with who you are right this second?”
Before she answered, Alejandra took a moment to ponder the question. Was this some weird trick? Had she some how changed as a person between now and when she first fell down? She didn’t hesitate a second longer, she was happy with who she was now and after everything she’s gone through, she’s ready to go home.
“Yes,” She said, “I am satisfied with who I am right this second.”
The Cat’s grin found a away to grow wider, “Very well,” He took a few steps closer to Alejandra who in response backed up until she back struck the root behind her and she could move no more. “You see Alice, in order to wake up, first you must fall asleep.”
As he said this, the tip of the Cat’s tail had lightly brushed Alejandra’s forehead. In that moment she felt a rush of clam and drowsiness overcome her body. She blinked a few time and found herself now laying on the ground which now felt as soft as her bed.
“Goodnight Alice.”
Then she drifted into a deep, deep slumber.
——————————————————
“Then what happened?!”
“Oye, not so loud, you’ll wake up the neighbors like that.”
“Sorry Mamá, but that can’t be how the story ends! That still doesn’t explain why Ale’s so small.”
“I’m getting that part.”
Ms. Sanchez had finished washing the last dish and took a seat at the kitchen counter next to her youngest son, Marcelo, “Now promise me, that you’ll finish your breakfast as I finish the story, Sí?”
Marco stabbed the last bit of his pancake and stuffed it in his mouth, turning to his mom with a proud smile, “Yes Mamá”
“Dios Mio” She muttered as she corrected her son’s table manners. “So when Alejandra woke up, she was back home in her bed but she brought a bit of magic back with her.”
Marcelo swallowed the last of his food and gasped, “The mushroom!”
“Well, yes and no. You see when the Cheshire Cat asked Ale about her being satisfied with who she was, she though he was asking if she felt like a good person. What he actually meant was her height, she was still a few inches tall after all.”
“So, he sent her back home, but at the same height she was at that moment?”
“Correct.“
“How did you and Papí react?”
“How did we react? Dios Mio, we were absolutely shocked, but Ale explained the whole story to us. Of course we wouldn’t have believed it if she wasn’t standing in our palm when she told us.”
“Mamá, will Ale ever grow back to normal?”
“Well, you’re just gonna have to ask your sister that.”
Marcelo nodded. He grabbed his plate and dashed to the kitchen sink placing his dish in the sink and trying very desperately to reach the handle to turn the water on. His mother, of course, turned it on for him, and he began cleaning his plate Mrs.Sanchez called out, “Oye Mijos, Marcelo already finished breakfast, if you don’t hurry you won’t have time to eat! Same thing applies to you Jośe!”
From upstairs she heard her oldest son, Juan Carlos, “Be down in a second, just waiting on Ale!”
Down the hall she could hear her husband, Jośe, accompanied by the sounds of haphazard typing, “Just finishing up this document, save me some pancakes!”
As Marcelo finished cleaning his dish and drying his hands, they could hear the cacophony of foot steps, Juan Carlos’ racing down the stairs and Jose’s rushing from the first floor office. It was only the first day of this school year, and already the familiar sounds of the family frantically getting their footing were falling into place. Mrs. Sanchez sighed, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I’m here,” With a stack full of documents barely in hand Jose took a seat at the table, “Did you save me any-“
“Pancakes?” Mrs. Sanchez handed Jose his breakfast before he finished his thought.
He leaned forward to give his wife a kiss, “Rosa, what would I do without you?”
“Make your own breakfast?” She quipped, “Don’t take too long. Marcelo needs to be dropped off in 40 minutes and your are not leaving without cleaning your plate.”
Jose looked up, his face already stuffed, nodding as of to say, I understand.
Rosario pinched the bridge of her nose, “Jose, small bites please. You’re even worse than Marcelo.”
Marcelo, who had been checking to make sure he had everything in his little backpack, chuckled with delight. It’s always fun when you get a win over a parent, even a minor one.
“Morning!” Entering the kitchen was Juan Carlos, but he wasn’t the one to greet them, “What’s for breakfast?”
Sitting on Juan Carlos’ shoulder was a small figure, barley 5 inches tall. Her hair was tied back with a bread tie to keep it in place. Despite the huge size difference between her and the everyone else in the kitchen, no one seemed to bat an eye at her presence. Makes sense, this is her family after all.
Juan Carlos took a seat at the table next to his father while letting the tiny girl climb down so she could take a seat on the table top itself.
“Oh look at you two,” Jose said nearly teary eyed as he cut his pancakes into more manageable bites, “Sophomores already… time flies. How’s the uniform Ale? Not too baggy, right?”
The tiny girl posed for her father, “It’s perfect dad. Not too baggy at all!”
Juan Carlos snickered, “Gee, it’s like it was tailor made for you.”
Mrs. Sanchez put down another plate of pancakes, this time for her son. She then addressed her smallest, “Ale, I made chocolate chip pancakes this morning but I know that it gets really messy. Would you like something else?”
With out hesitation Ale responded, “Can I have a slice of strawberry then?”
“I don’t know mi amor, the juice is just as messy as the chocolate chips…”
“Mama,” She pleaded, “I’m not a toddler, I can have strawberry without staining my clothes. Besides, dad just made me this uniform, you really think I’d be so reckless that I’d ruin it before making it to class.”
“Alright,” Rosario put her hands in the air as if surrendering, “One strawberry slice it is.”
While her mother rummaged through the fridge, Ale was greeted by her larger younger brother, “Ale!” He had his face pressed against the table.
Alejandra ran to the edge of the table, “Hey kiddo! Excited for your first day of 5th grade?” She playfully messed with his hair as she asked.
“Yup! Papi’s taking me this year! I’m super excited to see Justin and Danny again too!”
“Good, I’m glad.”
“Ale can I ask you something?”
Rosario passed by with Ale’s slice of strawberry, handing it to her on a napkin. To her, it was less of a strawberry slice and more of a strawberry steak. “Yeah of course, what’s up?” She replied before taking a bite of her sweet steak.
“Are you gonna grow back to your normal size?”
Ale was dumbfounded, What is he talking about? Ale’s eyes shifted until she found herself looking her mother’s way. She shot her a confused look while her mother responded with a suspicious grin. On a hunch Ale asked, “Did mom say anything about being bigger before?”
Marcelo nodded excitedly, “Yeah! She told me about how you followed the white rabbit and how the Cheshire Cat asked if you were ready to go home and-“
Above her, Juan Carlos nearly spat out his drink. She looked up to see him stifling his laughter. Ale rolled her eyes and held her hand up to Marcelo before taking another bite of her strawberry. That explains it, she thought. “Well Kiddo, I’m not sure if I can grow back, not without going back to Wonderland at least.”
“Oh…”
“But that’s ok,” She began, “I’ve been this small for years and I am satisfied with who I am. And I know Mom and Dad and even JC like me like this too. You’re ok with having a tiny older sister, right?”
“Of course! I love you no matter what Ale! I just feel bad that you can’t go back.”
Alejandra sighed before finishing off her strawberry. She wiped her lips with a piece of the napkin before returning to the edge of the table. She gestured for her brother to put out his hands. He did so and she stepped on before he brought her closer.
“Don’t feel bad kiddo, I’m just fine. Sure there are things I can’t really do at this size… but there’s so many cool things I can because I’m this size!”
“Like sneaking in my bag and coming with me to school?” Marcelo asked.
Jose interjected with a concerned tone as he took his plate to the sink, “Which is not happening again.”
Ale laughed, “Yes, like that. What I’m trying to say is that I’m not upset or sad I’m like this ok?“
“Promise?”
“Promise. I’m fine.” Ale leaned forward and gave Marcelo a boop on his nose which made him giggle.
“Alright, Macelito!” Jose bend down to meet his son at his height and place a hand on his shoulder, “We better get going, don’t want to be late on the first day. Say bye to your sister.
“Bye Ale!” Marcelo placed his sister back on the kitchen table. He grabbed his backpack and his father’s hand and headed for the door. “Bye Mama! Bye JC!”
“Have a good day!”
“¡Te Quiero Mucho!”
“See ya!”
When Ale heard the door shut, she turned her attention to her mother, who was putting away the dishes. “Mom,” Ale called, “We need to talk about this.”
“¿Que Pasa? You didn’t stain your uniform did you?”
“No, I mean we need to talk about this story you keep telling Marcelo.”
Rosa stopped what she was doing to take a seat at the table. She knew her daughter preferred to have conversations face to face as opposed to across the room. “What about it? It’s a fun little story, no harm in it right?”
“I mean, I guess? But don’t you think Marcelo is too old for it?”
“Yeah mom,” JC joined in as he washed his dish, “You should tell him she’s Tinker Bell’s lost cousin instead.”
“Not funny JC!”
“But he loves that story,” Their mother began to lament. “He always believed you were something out of a fairytale. You should hear him at school, ‘My sister has been to Wonderlnad you know!’ He takes such pride in it.”
“I get it, but maybe you should just tell him the actual story? I’m not magically shrunk I’m was just… born like this.”
.
..
…
“But where’s the fun in that?” She asked so plainly. Ale could only facepalm.
“I can’t win with you, can I?”
“Mija, I’m just teasing. It’s just, I love telling that’s they as much as Marcelo loves hearing it. But, you’re both growing up so fast. Giving up on the story feels like admitting you’re basically adults now.”
Ale put her hand on her mother’s, she gave her a sincere smile, “Mama, Marcelo’s 10. He’s not gonna move out and get a job just cause you slow down with your story telling.
“It’s not that simple it’s… well….” Mrs. Sanchez struggled to put her thoughts into words, after a moment she just settled for, “You’ll understand when you have kids of your own.”
Ah, mom’s classic conversation ender. Not a moment later, they heard a loud honk from outside. Ale didn’t have the best view of the window from where she stood, but she knew exactly what was outside.
“Bus is here,” JC gathered his things before walking up the table, “You ready to go Ale?”
“Yeah you have my bag right?” JC nodded and pointed to his backpack’s front pocket, “Then I’m good to go-hey!”
JC picked up his sister by the back of her shirt and placed her on his shoulder, “You got a good grip?” He asked.
“Yeah, but a warning would have been nice.”
“Juan Carlos, how many times have I told you to be careful with how you carry your sister?”
“Mom, she’s fine, we do this all the time.”
“Dios Mio, I hope you don’t do this kind of thing at school.”
“I don’t!”
Ale concurred, “He doesn’t.”
Mrs. Sanchez sighed before stretching out her arms, “Alright, give me a hug before you go.”
JC was pulled into his mother’s embrace, both of them being mindful of Alejandra who had to settle with hugging her mothers arm.
“¡Besos! I love you.”
“Love you too!”
“See you later mom!”
Finally free of his mother’s grip, JC made it out the front door and towards the bus. The door swung open and as JC stepped inside, the bus driver greeted them, “Morning, I’ve got both of you on with me, right?”
JC turned so that the bus driver could better see Ale, “Morning Patty!” She waved to ensure Patty could see.
The driver, Patty, nodded, “Good to see you. Careful finding your seats.” JC and Ale both gave her a thumbs up before making their way further down the bus. The bus was decently full, the Sanchez siblings knew they were one of the later stops. Ale always found it amusing seeing the other students turn their attention towards her and her brother as they boarded. She’s known most if not all of these kids her entire life, but seeing a tiny person casually riding on a human shoulder never seems not interesting. There were plenty of empty seats but Ale and JC were looking for someone in particular…there she is!
“Hattie!” Ale called out. Luckily her friend heard her small voice over the other students. Ale felt her brother walk straight for Hattie’s seat as soon as he made eye contact. When he made it to Hattie’s seat he held out his hand for Ale and she rode it until she made it into Hattie’s hands.
“Keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn’t hurt herself.” He said as he passed his sister off to another student.
“Oh please,” Hattie scoffed, “Ale is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.”
JC smirked, “That’s nice and all, but I was actually talking to my sister.”
Ale laughed as Hattie feigned offense. JC then took his seat closer to his friends, leaving the girls alone for the remainder of the ride.
“Hey Hattie,” Ale greeted again, “What’s up?”
Hattie held her hand up to her face so that she and Ale would be properly facing one another, “Oh not much. What up with you?”
“Well, I had a funny thing happen with my little brother this morning.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, he asked about Wonderland again.”
The girls laughed at the absurdity of it all. They continued to go back and forth, sharing anecdotes until they made it to school.

(I had a South Park OC, but I can't draw to save my life, But these are the parents of that South Park OC, So here's their bio)
Alistair Newcastle Hemsworth- A 30 year old British man who did serve in the British army during his 20s, and was eventually transferred to the U.S at age 23, where he met his Hispanic wife, Luz, whom is or rather, WAS a rank higher than him: A Lieutenant Colonel.
Luz Alejandra Sanchez- A 32 year old Hispanic woman who served in the U.S army, became Lieutenant Colonel at age 21, there she met her now British Husband, Alistair. Luz was very tomboyish and disciplined, when she met Alistair, something clicked and they got married, as her honorable discharge came when she was pregnant with her and Alistair's daughter, Victoria.

( i don't have an animated fc for her yet but meet Halo's Noble Six )
NAME: Alejandra Marcela Sanchez
AKA: Noble Six (or Six)
AGE: unknown
GENDER: female (she/they)
OCCUPATION: soldier, mercenary
Alejandra Marcela Sanchez is more commonly known as NOBLE SIX (SIX to most) on documents. No one truly knows what they look like, never shedding their armor around people. Six's past is mostly shrouded in black marks and secrets; it's often alluded to that Six is a lone wolf in missions, being noted that they're capable of taking down entire militias by themselves.
Treated more as a machine than a human, Six wears their armor almost as if to detach themselves from the world. They don't talk much about their past, often stonewalling people when they try to poke further...But despite their cold nature, Six is a rather friendly and amicable person...So long as people don't ask about their past.
MODERN VERSE
Six wears a motorcycle-like helmet to cover their face; it acts much like a barrier between them and the others, a way to detach from the world
Will swap to a face mask and sunglasses in more civilian areas
Six's callsign was given to her due to her achievement of clearing an enclosed area full of militia soldiers in around six minutes
OTHER FACTS
Six stands at 205cm (6'9) and towers over a lot of people
Doesn't care if people don't look at her when they're talking; knows it's because the other party can't see her eyes so doesn't take offense to it
Very protective of people around her
knows sign language

Multicultural Children’s Book Day
I was gifted the book Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War! The book is being published by an imprint of Lerner books (www.lernerbooks.com). The book was researched by children’s author, Talia Aikens-Nunez whose previous publications include the OMG series.
Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War is a nonfiction chapter book. While war history is not really my favorite subject to read about, Aikens-Nunez does a great job of capturing your attention with a great introduction. The book is filled with great facts and maps at the beginning of each chapter. I love the inclusion of a glossary as well as a bibliography. While it was a struggle for me to read because of the topic, I really appreciated learning about a facet of history I was not super-familiar with before.
Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023 (1/26/22) is in its 10th year! This non-profit children’s literacy initiative was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural books and authors on the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young readers and educators.
Ten years in, MCBD’s mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in homes and school bookshelves continues. Read about our Mission & History HERE.
