He came to the middle and sat on the tree. "I think there's space monkeys."

"Oooo where?" Lilith asked, climbing up the tree as well.

"Over there!" He smiled pointing to on of the lower hanging branches.

Lilith followed his finger, and burst into laughter. "Those space monkeys are hilarious!!" She imagined the space monkeys playing a funny game, and broadcast the image into the real world. Another thing that came with being one's invisible friend, she could do all sorts of stuff now. Of course, it was only an illusion, but it worked. It looked really cool too.

Adam's mouth dropped and a grin broke on his lips. "Woah! That's sweet!" He grinned climbing closer to the monkeys.

Lilith grinned. "Don't get too close to them, they might bite you or something. Remember, they're still wild creatures!" She sent out a tiny bit of personality to each of the space monkeys, drawing from a "cloud" of random personalities, each different. It was a storage of random personality types, ready for use by any invisible friend, as it would make it easier. One of the monkeys curious about Adam, and crawled slowly over to him, sitting down on the branch as it neared him, and then started feeling all over his face. Lilith had almost seen this coming when the monkey started to crawl down the branch, and quickly made it a "solid" creature, although all she was doing was giving Adam's brain a little boost of creativity, so he would interpret that specific monkey's actions as actual touch.

Adam giggled poking the monkey's stomach. "Can he- or she talk? I want to know it's name." He asked Lilith with excitement in his eyes.

Lilith shrugged. "I don't know, they're space monkeys. They have their own personalities." She burst into laughter again, however when one of the other monkeys moved to pull the one that Adam had poked away from him, but then they started play-fighting when the monkey that Adam inquired about refused to move.

He looked at them with curiosity. "So strange…" He mumbled getting closer.

"Strange indeed," Lilith admired them from afar, smiling slightly. The other monkey saw Adam's movements, chirped a small warning to the other, then scampered away, watching him warily. The first monkey, not at all scared of him, jumped onto his back, curious about every single thing.

Adam tried to back up away from it, but he lost his footing and slipped. Not yet falling, but it came close. "Yikes! Lilith!"

(Oh okay)
"Adam! You okay?" she asked, actually worried about him now. "What happened?"

"It's the monkey! Can you speak monkey?" He asked shutting his eyes tight and hugging the branch.

"The monkey? I… I can't speak monkey, unfortunately. Even if I could… there's really nothing they could do, sorry," Lilith sucked in a breath. SHe hated feeling this way. Helpless. Unable to do anything. Remember, you technically don't exist. But wait! Where was that note she'd gotten the first day? All she'd need to do was write out a note and leave it for Adam's mother to see… wait. From what she'd seen, she wouldn't be likely to help, would she? "Can you… can you inch backwards?"

"I can try…" He mumbled sliding backwards. His heart was pounding and his knuckles were white. "Am I getting close?"

"Yes!" Lilith encouraged him the best she could. "You're doing great! Keep going!"

He nodded and kept inching back. "How much further?" He asked going Little faster.

Lilith said nothing, waiting until he was back at the main area where the branches, well, quite literally branched out. "You're there!" she told him as he reached the area. "See, I knew you could make it back."

He pulled himself back and looked at her. "I did! That was so fun! What now?" Adam asked with shining eyes.

"Fun? You were so scared!" Lilith exclaimed. She saw it in his body, the way it had tensed up, the way Adam had gripped the tree branch, the terror in his eyes, the fear that he would fall. It brought back memories. Memories she didn't want to remember. Her whole body stilled, and now it was her turn for her eyes to fill with terror, as she re-lived that day.
It was a cold, cold day. The snow fell down in sheets, and the temperatures had to be close to freezing. Actually, they probably were below freezing. Her small, small body shivered in the cold, and still, the bus didn't come. How long had she been waiting? It seemed like forever, like she'd been waiting forever. Her small eyes flickered with fear, and her body tensed up. She wrapped her arms around her body, trying so hard to get warm…

"Yeah, but that's part of the fun!" He grinned looking at her. "Hey- you OK?"

"No," she whispered, unintentionally answering his question while responding to the statement. Lilith closed her eyes, desperately trying to seek comfort in the dark, groping around blindly for anything, anything at all. She couldn't let herself show a weakness. No. It was about Adam, not her. "Y-yeah, I'm okay," she managed after a long couple of minutes, whispering so softly Adam could barely hear her.

"You don't seem OK, do you want to go back inside?" He asked looking at her concerned. "It's getting dark outside." He noted as he went to start climbing down.
