DISCLAIMER: I do not own Minecraft but all characters in this spinoff are mine. (A series of stage lights activate, revealing a talk show studio. The studio has potted ferns to the sides, two soft, red couches and a large sign that says, 'Ask Tella Swift and Friends'. A spotlight shines on a brunette woman wearing cat makeup sitting on the smallest couch, holding a piece of paper.) TCLK: Hello everyone! Welcome to the first episode of Ask Tella Swift and Friends! Today, we have five fresh questions for you, sent in by friends of mine! Now, if you don't know what's gonna happen here, let me tell you! You guys send in questions you'd like to ask the characters of my Minecraft stories, and they'll answer them! Now that we all know the rules, let's get started! (Another spotlight activates as four blocky teenagers enter stage right and sit down on the larger couch. Two of them are girls, while the other two are boys. One girl has brown hair in a ponytail with blue eyes, and is wearing a cyan t-shirt and a blue pair of short shorts. The other girl has glowing white eyes with her brown hair also up in a ponytail; she is wearing a cyan t-shirt with a blue skirt going down to just above her knees, and three-quarter black and red leggings underneath. One boy has brown eyes and black hair, wearing a brown t-shirt and grey pants. The last boy has green eyes and short, orange hair, and he is wearing a cyan shirt and blue pants.) TCLK: To kick us off, I wrote a question: (The cat-like woman looks down at the paper and reads from it.) TCLK: The Cat Loving Kid asks: Dear Nate, Steph, Stan and Brynne, Would you guys ever start a band? If so, what kind of music would you play? Who would play which instrument? (The woman looks up from her paper and at the four teens. In response, they look back at her.) Steph: I dunno; I kinda like rock music. I'd wanna play an electric guitar. Stan: Me, too! But I'd wanna play the drums. Brynne: I wanna play an electric guitar! Nate: I'm pretty sure I'd be the lead singer. TCLK: Onto the next question! (The spotlight shining on the four blocky teens shifts to the right side of the stage. A blocky woman walks out from the curtains and takes a seat beside the kids. She is wearing a black, ninja-like suit with dark purple outlines, with a matching hood and a dark purple facemask. Once comfortable, she removes her hood and mask, revealing bright purple lips, purple eyes and purple hair with a green streak running down the right side. Then, TCLK looks back down at her paper.) TCLK: DARKSOMEONE41 asks: Dear Tella Swift, Would you like to meet Dust one day? She's one of my OCs and she's an Enderman-Human hybrid, too! Tella: I guess so. I'm guessing she's a different type of hybrid to me; all of my kind were killed. But still, meeting someone similar to me would be pretty cool. TCLK: To the next question! (She looks back down at the paper.) Princess Unikitty asks: How good are you guys with Redstone? (TCLK looks up and looks at the five Minecraftians instead.) Tella: I actually don't know. I've never really had to use it before. I don't think I'd be good at it. Steph: I'm pretty good at it. Dad taught us about it. Stan: I'm rubbish at it. Steph: No, you're not! You're better than me! Stop being so modest! Nate: Redstone doesn't have much use in the Aether. Brynne: It doesn't in the Nether, either. TCLK: Onto question No. 4! (TCLK looks again at the piece of paper.) TCLK: DARKSOMEONE41 asks: Dear Tella Swift, How do you feel about Herobrine? (The woman scowls and narrows her eyes, as she sits up straighter on the couch.) Tella: I'll tell you how I feel about him! I hate his guts! HE KILLED MY ENTIRE SPECIES! How ELSE are you supposed to feel about a guy like that?! (The white-eyed girl glances nervously at Tella. TCLK sits up straighter as well and looks towards Tella.) TCLK: Tella, calm down! Next question! (She looks back down again at the paper.) TCLK: DARKSOMEONE41 asks: Steph: This DARKSOMEONE41 sends in an awful lot of questions. (The cat-like woman quickly turns to face the blue-eyed brunette.) TCLK: Don't interrupt! (TCLK looks back at the piece of paper.) TCLK: Dear Tella Swift, How do plan to kill Herobrine? Tella: I haven't thought about that yet. Before I can even get to my revenge, I have to find him first! TCLK: I'm not telling either! Spoilers! Anyways, ladies and gents, that wraps up the first episode in 'Ask Tella Swift and Friends'! If you like this series, don't forget to leave a review! If YOU have a question you want to send in, leave it in the review section below! You can find out more about Tella and the others by reading their stories, 'The Last of the Enderkin' and 'The Children of Minecraftia'! This is The Cat Loving Kid signing out! See ya, folks! Tella: Bye, everybody! (Everyone turns towards the camera and waves. The lights begin to dim, leaving just the silhouettes of the people onstage.) (A/N: I kinda used KittyJen1337's 'Skyshorts' story format here because it suited this kind of text best. Also, I described myself as a woman because I refuse to give out my real age. The cat makeup was just a random touch. And in case you were wondering, yes I am a brunette.)
