And so began this whole chaos of how to wake up this gigantic sleepy Mita. The first plan that occurred to me was to yell directly into her ear.
I wasn't sure if it would work, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
Player: Ready. I didn't think it would be so easy to climb all the way up here, using her hair.
I looked around and walked carefully so I wouldn't fall.
Player: If I go around a bit here…
It took me about ten minutes to reach her ear directly.
Player: I've made it to her ear!
Mita (C): Great! Is everything okay up there?! —she shouted from below—
Player: Yes! Don't worry!
Now I just needed to find a good position so I could yell without falling inside.
I tried several spots until I found the right one.
Player: Ready. Better start now before it gets any later.
I filled my lungs with as much air as I could, then released it in a massive shout into Mita's enormous ear.
Player: IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!!
I screamed with all my strength into her ear.
Mita (SL): !!…!!
Suddenly, she swung her right hand at full speed toward where the player was standing.
Mita (C): Huh? Player!! Watch out!! —she screamed at the top of her lungs—
Player: Oh no!!
The gigantic hand of Sleepy Mita was coming straight at me. At the speed it was moving, I didn't think twice and jumped backward.
Player: Shit!!
Thud.
A loud slap echoed from above. That movement from Sleepy Mita had every intention of crushing me, as if I were nothing more than a tiny mosquito.
Player: Geronimo!!
During the fall I tumbled and got tangled in Mita's hair. The drop didn't last long—only a few seconds at most—until I landed back on the bed.
Mita (C): Player! Are you okay? —she said, full of worry—
Player: More or less. I can feel some parts of my body got scratched by the hair.
Player: Though I have to admit, that was a really bad idea.
I brushed off the few strands of hair still tangled around me and went over to where the little Mita was.
Player: Plan A failed. Time for Plan B.
Mita (C): And what's that?
Player: You'll see.
Player: But first, let's try it another way.
The two of us headed to the lower part of Mita, where her feet were.
Player: Now that we're here, I'll tell you how this is going to work.
Player: We're going to climb onto the sole of her foot and start tickling her.
Player: Maybe that will wake her up. Since she spends most of her time sleeping, I imagine the skin on her foot must be really soft.
Mita (C): Mmm… You've got a point. She does spend most of her time sleeping.
Mita (C): So we can try it.
Player: Good. No more time to waste.
I climbed up first, then Chibi Mita followed.
Once we were on top, it felt incredibly soft. I was right—the sole of her foot was quite soft.
Player: Are you ready, Mita?
Mita (C): Yes!
Player: Then let's begin.
Without a second thought, we both started tickling Sleepy Mita's foot in several places.
We kept at it for a few seconds until I noticed her foot beginning to show signs of movement.
Player: !!…!!
Player: Looks like it's working.
Player: Don't stop, Mita! —I shouted from a distance—
Mita (C): Got it!
We doubled the tickling. I even think I was hitting a sensitive spot on her foot until…
Player: !!…!!
Mita (C): Ahhh!!
Suddenly, Sleepy Mita lifted her foot, carrying both of us up as high as she could.
The little Mita was thrown a bit higher and managed to grab onto a handkerchief tied around Sleepy Mita's ankle.
But in my case, it went much worse.
Being on a smooth surface with nothing to hold onto, I spun several times and nearly fell.
If I hadn't barely managed to grab onto her big toe, I would have plummeted several meters down onto the bed.
Player: Oh my God!! It feels horrible from up here!!
As I said before, being this small is like jumping off a building—almost thirteen or fifteen stories high.
Mita (C): Player!!
The little Mita searched for some way to save me, but both of us were at a disadvantage.
Player: HELP!! —I shouted, completely terrified—
This damn ring still hasn't finished charging!! I might land on the bed, but if I fall wrong, in the worst case I could break some parts of my body!!
Mita (C): Hang on!! I'm coming to save you!!
Player: Hurry!! My hands are starting to sweat!! And so is Mita's toe!!
The distance between us was fairly far. The sweat on my hands made me slip slowly, but combined with the sweat on Mita's toe, my fall would be much faster.
Mita (C): What do I do?! What do I do?! —she looked around frantically—
Player: Ahhh!!
Mita (C): I've got it!!
Mita (C): Player! On the count of three, let go!
Player: What?! Are you crazy?!
Mita (C): Trust me again!
That same déjà vu. I had no choice but to do it.
Player: Fine!! I'll do it!!
Mita (C): One… two… and… three!
Player: Ahhh!! —I let go—
Without wasting a second, the little Mita used one end of the handkerchief she was holding onto like a vine to swing over and catch me.
Player: Shit!!
Mita (C): Here I come!!
I closed my eyes, bracing for the fall, but instead I felt someone hug me.
Mita (C): Got you!!
Player: You caught me!
Mita (C): I thought I wouldn't make it.
Our relief didn't last long. We noticed something.
The handkerchief the little Mita was holding onto came untied.
Player: …
Mita (C): …
Both: AHHHH!!
We both started sliding down Sleepy Mita's legs. She was already lowering her leg slowly, which helped us descend a bit more gently, but it didn't change the fact that we were tumbling as we fell.
It was like going down a slide.
In the end we landed safely on the bed, still a little shaken from the thought of falling from that great height.
Player: Ahh… ahh… Tha… thank you for saving me, little Mita.
Mita (C): Don't mention it… —she was still recovering from the scare as well—
I turned to the side. Sleepy Mita hadn't even woken up. In the end, this method of tickling her foot had been a complete failure.
Mita (SL): Zzz… zzz…
Player: What the hell… At this point I don't even want to keep trying.
Mita (C): Please, Player, don't give up. We're getting closer and closer to defeating Crazy Mita. We only have a few steps left to win.
Still doubtful, while I was falling earlier I had seen my whole life flash before my eyes.
I remembered my parents, my friends, even the other little Mita.
And my companions who had given their lives to save me from that crazy Mita.
I had come too far to fail everyone who had trusted me.
Player: You're right. We're very close to reaching our goal.
With my spirits lifted, I managed to stand up again.
Mita (C): That's the way! —she encouraged me—
Player: It's time to go—
I was about to finish what I was saying when we felt a tremor.
Both: !!…!!
Mita (C): Player!! She's starting to move!!
Player: This is bad! We have to move or she'll crush us!
Holding hands, we ran to the corner of the bed. Sleepy Mita was turning over, sending several tremors through the mattress with her body.
Player: If we fall, we'll have to go through that horrible hell all over again.
Her movements were short, but quite dangerous.
Thanks to moving quickly, we managed to escape the chaos.
Player: Phew, finally she stopped moving.
Mita (SL): Zzz… zzz…
Mita (C): Yeah… By the way, what were you going to say?
Player: Almost forgot.
Player: Let's go with Plan C.
Mita (C): What's that?
Player: You'll see.
Chibi Mita had a bad feeling about all of this.
Player: We have to climb back up again, but this time we need to be on her face.
Mita (C): Huh? —she looked confused—
And so we began climbing Sleepy Mita's hair once more. This time we were much more careful not to fall.
We helped each other as we climbed, and after about ten minutes of climbing we reached her head.
Then we descended toward her chin, almost near her lips.
Player: We finally made it. Plan C is to give her a kiss.
Mita (C): A kiss? Where did you get that idea?
Player: Let's just say… I saw it in an old cartoon when I was a kid.
Looking at her more closely, Sleepy Mita's mouth was almost three times bigger than me.
Big enough to swallow me without any trouble… But putting that aside, her lips looked very soft and pink, almost like a peach.
The player began to feel nervous. He also felt his heart start pounding hard.
Player: !!…!!
Mita (C): Are you okay? —she quickly grew concerned—
Player: Yes! It's just…
Mita (C): Mmm… Are you feeling sick? I can see your face is red.
Player: !!…!!
I'd be lying to myself if I tried to deny it, but… this is the first time in my life I've ever kissed a pretty girl on the lips (even if she's a giant, she's still a girl).
Mita (C): If you're not feeling well, we can leave this for later.
Player: No! It's not necessary… Just give me a minute and I'll be ready.
I tried to relax, breathing as deeply as I could, and even ran absurd equations through my head to calm myself.
Until at last I managed to settle down a little.
Player: I'm ready.
Mita (C): You've got this. I know you can wake her up.
Player: Well, here goes.
I slowly brought my face closer to Sleepy Mita's lips. My heart was pounding hard; my mind was going blank at what I was about to do.
Mita (SL): Zzz… zzz…
Player: …?
Only a few centimeters away, Sleepy Mita yawned.
Mita (SL): Ahh~
Player: Ah.
I had leaned in too far to give her the kiss, and that mistake caused half my body to end up inside her mouth.
Player: No! Wait!
When I tried to pull out, Sleepy Mita had already trapped me inside her mouth, half my body in.
Mita (C): Hang on! I'll get you out!
Player: AHHH!! I MESSED UP!! I MESSED UP HORRIBLY!!
At the end of the day, Plan C ended in complete failure, just like all the previous plans…
