Description There was something about this like finding Waldo.  Almost anything could be in her line of sight and block him.  It was a little embarrassing.  She kept looking.

Finally!   She noticed some movement out of the corner of her eye and turned towards it...  definitely waving and definitely a guy.

“Matt?”

“Yeah..  it’s me!”

He changed his waving and she though she heard him, but it was a little too far for his voice to carry.   It had to be him.  There was someone else nearby - it looked like a woman, but she was walking away now.  

Sandy looked mostly at the ground as she started down B Street.  She stopped and turned at the normal sized toolbox.  A loose roll of gaffers tape told her someone had been working here recently.  Straightening back up she was able to spot him immediately.

“Sorry — didn’t see you before.”

“You’ll probably get used to it.  It bothered Mel so much that she got new contacts, but it’s just experience.”

“ ‘guess I should come closer?”

“You can sit or lay down if you want. The park’s all normal-rated microturf.”

“I don’t wanna mess up this top.. “ she said as she pulled it over her head.  “mind if I take it off?”

Watching normal people take off any piece of clothing was something he never managed to get used to. Something so familiar, but so huge and they just toss ‘em around.  

“ok if I put it on this building?”

“You’re the one doing sets from the outside.”  He wondered what it’d be like inside watching something like this coming across your view.  It’d easily cover either either of his houses.  

She found a spot and sat side saddle on her right thigh before realizing she hadn’t placed herself very well.    “Umm..  I’m too far over..  could you walk that way?”  There were so many subtle maneuverings two people did when they talked that you didn’t think about.  Maybe with experience.

Beginner, he thought.  But he got a better view of her legs and the rest of her was a lot closer too.  Even as a giant she was prettier than he had remembered.

“So you do custom homes…”

“Sort of.  I build the frames from scratch, but only have a few working plans. Eventually I want to do full custom, but that means getting an architect’s license.”

“The prices you mentioned are good for real stick frame construction.  I’m used to twice that.”

“They’re just shells.  I’ve got the pipes and wires in, but..”  she brought her thumb and index finger together to indicate size.

“I’m good at interior work, but you have to start out with a good foundation.  Trying to fix up a Mattel house is hopeless .”

“How long do you think it’d take to paint, wallpaper, install fixtures.  Get it turnkey ready?”

“Three bedroom, two bath-ish?”

The ground under the fake grass was rock hard. She shifted to get more comfortable and nodded her head.

“If you move the heavy stuff and help with the cabinets  probably three days.  If you pre-paint the walls we could cut a day off that.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Pre-painting looks ok, I mean to you?”

“You’ve gotta do it right.  There’s a special brush for normal sized people textured to look like the wall was done by someone my size.  You put the wall in a jig of some kind and pull the brush over. It’d take you about two minutes to do a wall and me fifteen to finish the edging. There’s also great micro-wallpaper that’s almost as fast.”

“So you go in after I’ve got the walls up?”

“No ..   before putting the walls in place. It means you probably have to be a bit more careful.  I’d do the edge work and that’ll cover some things you can’t see”

The position wasn’t working. She shifted again.

“That looks uncomfortable.”

“Yeah..  I pulled something kickboxing the other day and this is just wrong.  Mind if we move?”

“I can come up closer to you”

“How?”  

She was moving to sitting on her heels forcing his to tilt his head back further to keep eye contact.

“Some of these buildings have enough flat space on their roofs”

He’d still be too low, she  thought, but it’d be closer.  

“I’m game..  how do you get up?”

“That would be you.”  

“I’ve never picked anyone up..”

“Yeah.. we established that a few hours ago.  Just put your palm down face up.”  

Her right palm came down about five feet - five of his feet - away.

“Good ..”  

“I can feel you!” she said before she realized it may not be the right choice of word, but she felt the hairs on her back go up.  There was a guy on the palm of her hand.  It shouldn’t seem that weird, but it was.    She watched him bend down and felt him touch her thumb.

“OK - raise your thumb so I have something to grab”

It wasn’t exactly his favorite way of getting around plus he’d never had a virgin. Not that there was any choice.  He steadied himself on her erect thumb and waved with his free arm.  

“Slowly now.”

He was used to smooth motion and the right speed, but this was neither.

“You’re trying too hard.  Don’t think it.  Speed it up a little and it’ll be smoother”

“Sorry”

“Your fingers curl nicely”  it was normal, but he had to give her something,  

“Thanks”

She was standing now carrying him just below her chest level.  Both of them started to look at roofs.

“Looks like the second building  up on B street” he said.

She looked down at him to see where he was pointing.  There was a pitched roof leading up to a flat place that looked wide enough for him to stand on.

“Yeah.. hang on”

She tried to watch him and the street at the same time  Thank god the little people were mostly away.  She bent a bit and set her palm on the rooftop.  The flat area looked about eight inches across - wider than he was tall.

“This ok?”

“Yeah”  he let go of her thumb and stepped off onto the roof and then watched as she straightened up.  One of the tallest buildings on set and he was not quite up to her navel.

“Try backing up a step or two…  yeah.. that’ll work for me.. you?”

“I’m ok.”  Carrying him she realized how cute he used to be.  Just her type.  Tall, thin, great eyes.   He still had that shape and she imagined the rest.   “I like your hair that way.”

“You’ve got great eyes.”

“No really…  I had a thing for you at NYU..  You had the best comments in class plus you were really cute.”

“You liked RSDI?”

“Not Providence, but the school was exactly what I needed.  I think I can make about anything and make it look good.  I wanted to work on the movies.. not in them like you.”

“At least you’re doing what you wanted.  I’m still trying.  You need to be lucky and good.” He paused. “You don’t want to hear about that now.  But your proposal.  I’ve got a couple of days a week.  I’d have to figure out transportation.”

“You could travel with me - if you could stay over.  Have an overnight place?”

“I can rent one, but...”

“commutes too long to take you back and forth.  Uber?”

“Too expensive. .. I can fly almost anywhere for peanuts, but if it’s just me and a car it costs the same as you.”

“We really should work together at first.”

“Probably most of the time…  having a sky crane who can pull a roof is really useful.”

You’re having to bend your neck too much. “I’ll try kneeling.   there..  how’s that?”

“Sweet - I’m not used to looking down at normals..”

“Yeah..  works for me too..  maybe we can set something like this up if we work together.”  Thinking she was on a roll Sandy switched gears  “you remember much about me at NYU?”

“Yeah.. tall, blonde, shy..  too bad we didn’t hook up then.. we might have gotten along.”

“You were going with someone.”

“really?”

“Yeah.. two of them.”

“Oh yeah..  the short brunette or the athletic one?”

“both..”

“You didn’t figure out that Abi was lesbian?”

“No way!”

“We roomed together since our sophomore year and were really close..  she’s on a soap now.”

“You mean…?”

“Gail was the short brunette.  High maintenance chick.  It only lasted a couple of months.”

“Shit”  she realized she shouldn’t have let it out, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

“And here we are again.  I guess we should talk more about your business proposition or lunch’ll be over.  Have you had yours yet?”

“Before I came.  You?”

“I’m fine.  I’d have to buy some tools.  I can get them at Amazon and have ‘em sent to your place. Alright if that’s my contribution to get going?”

“I should pitch in too..”

“You’ll need some tools too.. maybe we can go fifty-fifty.”

“How much? I’m pretty tight right now.?”

“Hey - I’m the actor - that’s my line.”  He stopped and made a mental list.   “Maybe a few hundred each”

“I guess I can swing two hundred  for now.  But we should be able to make it back on our first sale.”

“How do we spit the profits or losses?”

“Maybe keep track of hours?”  she had been thinking more about the lost opportunity at NYU and that he was interested then.   “Look - I don’t want this to be anything that could get in the way of a friendship..”  

“Then why don’t we go fifty fifty on the first and then work it out from there..  I coild work on contract or be a partner if that seems better.”

“I’d better look into the mixed size compliance rules.”

“Those are only for firms with more than five employees.”  

“Yeah.. but I really haven’t worked much around you guys - I mean that was my first time handling someone”

“How was it?  I mean losing your virginity like that?”  He watched as the hint of a smile came to her lips and she started to blush.

“You know what I’m saying…”

He smiled and nodded.  “Here’s a  safety tip.  Don’t say handled around us. You should hang out with Mel and get some tips.  She’s almost a natural now.”

“You like her?”

“She’s a friend..  like to everyone plus her SO is a normal guy.  There aren’t many mixed size relationships.”

Sandy hadn’t been thinking along those lines.. mostly she was remembering him for what he had been.  Of course he was still the same guy except …

She seemed lost in thought.  “Tell you what.  I’ll rent a travel house that you can pick up and I’ll go to your place on Friday. If your free tomorrow I’ll make up a list of things we need and we can start..   If you have a house under construction.”

“Maybe you should just come over and see what I do first… before you order anything.  “

“OK..  tomorrow night?  Still overnight?”

“I could bring you back, but do you have something that’ll work in my car.”

“Yeah..  can we meet at lunch tomorrow?  And can you give me a ride to the sidewalk now?  I need to get back to work.”

Sandy put her palm down wondering if he was feeling the same sort of thing she was, but she didn't know how much was attraction and how much was curiosity.
