《 Chapter 7 》

3rd pov

It has been days after meeting with the Thin Man. (Y/N) kept visiting him through her dreams and talk to him. The two grew closer as they ask each other questions. During the day, (Y/N) would tell Chip and Ted the conversation she had with the Thin Man and the things they did. Both nomes gained more interested every time she describes him. Chip was fascinated hearing them, and so did Ted. He was relieved that the Thin Man didn't harm his friend and slowly trusted him. The Thin Man was in fact happy to meet (Y/N). He still doesn't recall how she ended up in the city, but he's glad she's willing to stick by his side.

One time while roaming through the city, (Y/N), Ted, and Chip found a television that is turned on inside a building. Remembering what the Thin Man told her, she went towards the television, causing the nomes to jump at her action. The two of them began to tug the girl's cape to stop her from going towards it. She stops her tracks and looks at them, understanding what they're trying to do. "It's okay, Thin Man told me it's fine," she claimed. She looks back to the television with a small hesitation. She doesn't know if she should do it and trust Thin Man. She gulped, "But if I stare at it for too long, I want you guys to pull me away..."

She walked towards the tv with her eyes closed. When she stopped few feet away, she opened her eyes, blinded by the bright light through the screen. The screen showed nothing but noise and static sounds. She pulled down her hood and smiled as she slowly waving at the screen, knowing the Thin Man watching through it. The man indeed saw it. He let out a small gasp and felt a sudden warmth throughout his body when he saw her smile. He smiled, waving back through the screen. Then he saw a nome with a paper boat on its head ran towards the girl and hid behind her as the other nome with the purple bow went beside her. He remembered (Y/N) talking about them. 'So, that's Ted and Chip,' he thought. The girl whispered something to the two and Chip shyly waved to the screen along with Ted. The man chuckled.

A few seconds later, Ted pulls (Y/N)'s cape and gained her attention. He began to do sign language when the (h/c) girl looked at him. She looked away and answered the nome's question. "You're right, we should continue to scavenge around the building... But I feel like staying here." Ted crossed his arms and tried pushing (Y/N) away from the television. The girl snickered and continued teasing him. "Oh no, gravity is increasing on me." She fell backward towards Ted, causing him to carry her back. Chip could only watch in amusement as the nome with the purple bow tried his best to carry her weight. In the end, he failed and ended up getting squashed below her. Ted tried to wiggle his way out and called Chip for help. Chip pulled him out from (Y/N)'s body and both pulled her up as she laughed. Ted began to push her away from the television to proceed with their scavenge when she stood up. The girl waved to the screen again, "Bye-bye Thin Man, see you later!" she giggled. Thin Man, who watched the whole scene, chuckled and watched the girl being pushed away by Ted. Chip waved goodbye to the screen and followed behind them.

The time came and (Y/N) is once again visited the Thin Man through her dreams again. They're in the same room as before, talking to one another. The two have grown closer and learned to trust each other. The (s/c) girl was in the middle of her story of the journey she had with the nomes before she visits the Thin Man

"We found a barbershop while walking around and decided to go check it out. It turns out a barber was inside the building and chased us around. He has this pair of huge scissors that's about his size and nearly snips my head off, and I thought I was a goner," she sighed. The Thin Man looked at her in concern, "So what happened next?" he asked. The girl continued, "Long story short. After running from him twice, I tripped and the Barber got me. He tied me up on the chair and left the room. Luckily, Ted and Chip untied me while the Barber was distracted. A few moments later, the Barber caught us and we ran for our lives." The Thin Man grew interested in her story. "What happened to the Barber? How did you all escape?" he asked. (Y/N) answered. "While running, me and Ted had the same idea and we sprayed the Barber's eyes with his hairspray. He fell backward and yell in pain. While he's on the floor, we ran out of the building before he can get up and see again." The man winced when he heard what they did to the Barber. "Ouch, that's gotta hurt," he says. (Y/N) chuckled, "Yeah, he really did get hurt." She looks down with a small facial of guilt showing. "To be honest, I felt bad doing that. But he deserves it for tying me up on a chair."
