HI...!
everyone, welcome to my newest story! I am not going to say too much but this story does follow the MCSM plot with my own twist. I made this fanfic because I just thought 'what if Lukas and Jesse were freinds before the events of MCSM' and I couldn't find anything on the subject. I thought it was kind of surprising, so why not just create my own! I am super excited for this fic, I hope you guys enjoy!
Disclaimer- If you've seen it before it doesn't belong to me...
Nothing built can last forever, and every legend, no matter how great, fades with time. As the years pass, detail after detail is lost until all that remains are myths, half-truths… to put it simply, lies. But the legend of The Order of the Stone indoors as self-evident fact.
The first member of the Order of the Stone was Gabriel, the best warrior in the land. He was strong, smart, strategic and used the best weapons. Anyone who met the bad end of his sword would end up regretting it.
The second member was Ellegaard, she was a redstone genius. Her inventions inspired millions of other redstone experts to invent new contraptions and even new blocks. No one would ever be as great as her, and everyone knew it.
The third member was Magnus, he was their TNT and mob expert. He knew every dangerous mob on the planet like the back of his hand and was also the inventor of TNT. A block that when ignited will blow everything around to bits and hurt people… he was the original griefer, and anyone who was a griefer besides Magnus worshipped the ground he walked on.
The fourth and final (?) member was Soren, he was the leader of the Order of the stone, and was known for his amazing architecture. Every builder studied his designs and the city buildings he created like they were build by notch himself.
They were everyone's heroes, not only were they a great team but they defeated a mob that was so old people started to believe it was a myth… the Ender Dragon… the mob that ruled over the Enderman.
Their legend would continue for decades… but every person… every team has their secret; and The Order of the Stone was no exception. The difference?
Their secret almost caused the whole world to be destroyed.
They created a mess, and no one knew it when they first heard about the great Order of the Stone… that they would need to be saved, from their own demons.
POV: JESSE
FOUR YEARS BEFORE
After a few days in the brand new tiny town she moved to, Jesse had learned two things;
One, the people there were about as closed minded as a pig being offered to eat sand. (Yes they were that bad) She felt like the new kid in the middle of the school year, she walked down the streets and everyone made a clear path for her and whispered about the new girl from Oak city. It wasn't exactly what she was expecting when she moved there;
Two, the small town was exactly like a stupid high school, a day and anyone with a quarter of a brain could figure that out. Each part of town was divided into sections from geeks, to nerds, to populars, to redstone freaks, to losers, and like you would expect she didn't know where she fit in and quite honestly she didn't know it she wanted to.
All that Jesse knew, one hundred percent, besides the two things above, is that she just needs to have a sliver of faith, and hope that her life will get better.
So to start off, Jesse decided to start on her treehouse. She bought a piece of land out in the dark oak forest and planned on living there, she decided to go with a treehouse because… she felt bad for cutting down all those trees to make her new home.
So, using all the tradable goods she had, she hopped around town buying all the supplies she would need to build her home. So far, it had been successful. The town was small but had everything you can imagine.
Jesse was done with her shopping and was heading down the path to her piece of land. She was juggling so much stuff, her inventory being completely full to the brim. Jesse felt like she was going to drop something important.
Along the way, she past a young man about her age, maybe a few years older. He had long blonde hair that fell into his cyan blue eyes. He was a little taller than her by a few pixels and wore a plain purple T-shirt with black jeans and white tennis shoes. Jesse had seen him around town a few times, and he would just stare at her like everyone else, so her hopes were low.
Jesse started to walk faster to get away from him. As soon as she got within a few blocks he looked up and stared at her, moving to the side a bit to give her more space to move. She internally cursed at him and walks about two blocks past the stranger before she hears someone clear their throat.
"Hey," Jesse heard behind her. Jesse managed to turn around to face the blonde stranger. "Need some help?" The blonde gulped and cleared his throat again.
Jesse was at first a bit sceptical but smiled in relief.
"Oh Notch, yes," Jesse said in thanks, she walked closer to him and dumped about half her inventory into his hands. "Notch, you have no idea how hard it is caring all this supplies from town to the middle of the forest. Thank you so much by the way, you are literally the only person who has spoken to me since I have gotten here. I don't understand why, I mean I get I'm new but I don't have eight arms or a glowing red eye. I might be crazy but I am not that much of a freak. By the way, are they like that with everyone… that… comes… to… town…?" It hit her that she was rambling and clenched her jaw shut.
"Sorry, I talk way too much." Jesse blushed in embarrassment. The stranger laughed good naturedly
"It's alright, just thought you needed some help," the blonde said. "And don't worry too much about the towns people, they'll warm up to you, sooner or later." Jesse couldn't fight the kind smile off her face.
"Again, thank you so much, I am taking all this stuff this way, just follow me, thank you," Jesse and blondie started to walk down the path with their inventories full. The blonde shrugged again.
"Again, it's alright, besides, if I was carrying all this by myself I'd be begging for people to help," Jesse snorted.
"Yeah, no kidding," Jesse sighed. "This is a lot, and this might not even cover what I will need." The blonde looked down at him arms.
"You building a mansion or something?" He asked. Jesse blushed darker red and shook her head.
"No, I'm building a treehouse, but most of the stuff will go into furniture and decorations… that's why I have so much…" Jesse trailed off. The blonde chuckled.
"Huh, smart." He said. Jesse smiled at his kindness and they walked a little bit more. He cleared his throat for a third time. "So, you just moved here?" Jesse nodded quickly.
"Yup, a couple days ago, have you lived here your whole life?" Jesse asked. The blonde bit his lip.
"No, I moved to the arena about eight months ago. And trust me, that was an absolute nightmare as well." The blonde shook his head. Jesse chuckled to herself.
"Yeah, I am pretty sure either I'm back in high school or I have the plague." Blondie hummed.
"Yeah, sounds about right." The two continued to walk until they came across the trees Jesse would be using for her treehouse. Four small chest stood at the base, and with blondes help Jesse managed to organize her supplies into each chest.
They duo talked the whole time, laughing at some stories from when they first moved there, and getting along.
Jesse felt like she finally made a friend.
"... yeesh, that must have sucked." Jesse told the blonde. He nodded. "What was it liked living in glass central?" (Glass central is the nickname for a city in the middle of the desert that specializes in making all things glass.)
"It's hot," The blonde deadpanned. "I moved here for the cool air, the snow in the winter, and because of Endercon." Jesse turned her head.
"I have never heard of Endercon." Jesse told him. He crossed his arms in surprise.
"It's a convention, honoring the Order Of the Stones defeat of the enderdragon." Jesse made an 'o' with her mouth.
"Sorry, I'm from Oak city, which is… across the map," Jesse blushed. The blonde smiled.
"You don't like attention much," Jesse shook her head at her friends comment. "It's okay, I get it…" they both stood in silence, because their job was done and they had no excuse to stay in each other's company.
Jesse sighed.
"You better get going," Jesse said, sadly. The blonde nodded, before looking up.
"You know," the blonde said. "I'm told to be a pretty good builder." Jesse frowned, not knowing where this was heading but liking that he'd get to stay longer.
"Yeah?" She asked. The blonde nodded.
"Yup, but, I could be wrong too, my mom can be pretty biased." Jesse tried to force a smile down but she only made it worse with each passing awkwardly silent second. She ended up bursting into a fit of silent laughter that got a chuckle out of her friend. "So~, how about I help you with your treehouse." Jesse quickly sobered and nodded.
"Yeah, that sounds great!" Jesse exclaimed. They exchanged smiles before the blonde flinched.
"Oh Notch, I'm an idiot." The blonde offered Jesse his hand. "I'm Lukas, by the way." Jesse smiled and shook his hand.
"I'm Jesse, it's good to meet you."
Jesse knew she found a friend, but she didn't know how crazy her friendship with him would get.
Two months pass by, during that time, Jesse and Lukas progress on Jesse's house had been amazing and Lukas was a great builder. Whenever Lukas showed up to help her out Jesse had a fun time. She really liked his friendship.
But that's not all;
Jesse made two other friends Axel and Olivia. (Though Jesse's new friends and Lukas hadn't met, sadly.) Jesse met Olivia first then Axel later. She quickly learned that they were the odd men out of the small town, or the way Olivia put it, "The Losers." Jesse quickly found out that the might have been made of (what is supposed to be) mature adults but the town being like a High school, the majority bullied or teased her new friends. Then her in return just because she was associated with them.
As for Lukas, he was never around to see her teased, but whenever she told him about it later on he would scowl in disapproval.
Lukas seemed to be very kind to Jesse, he would tell her about the few friends he's made in the last few months. He told her that they were good people with good heart, but he said that they loved to gossip which bugged him but he chose to see past that. Jesse nodded agreeing with him on his decision but advised to not get hooked into it as well, and to make sure the gossip didn't go too far over the line.
Besides that, everything was fine for Jesse. Her new friends, Olivia and Axel even asked for her to be on their team for The yearly Endercon building competition.
Jesse agreed happily; she even instantly told Lukas the next day in excitement when he came by to help out with her treehouse.
Lukas seemed happy for her, but was a little sad as well. He explained that they were going to be rivals since he agreed to join his other friends team.
Jesse (being the competitive girl she was) kicked him out of her treehouse and told him, "We will continue construction after the competition, and we aren't allowed to speak to each until then, so we keep our builds a secret… now; SHOO YOU EVIL CAT!" (Turns out, Lukas was a huge cat person, unlike Jesse who was more into dogs.)
Lukas laughed in reluctance but agreed.
The day of the competition was when they realized the messed up situation they were in.
As soon as they (Jesse, Olivia and axel) went to registration, Jesse heard an annoying snooty voice say, "Look, Gill, The Order of the Losers got a new member." Olivia flinched but Axel groaned. They both turned around before Jesse.
"Ahh man, not them," Axel hissed in Olivia's ear.
Jesse, frowning and fist clenched, turned around to face whoever said the rude comment.
At first all she saw were two guys and a girl, one with military short brown and light green eyes, the other guy with black eyes and short black hair. The girl with thin brown hair and grey/blue eyes.
Then she saw who was behind them, looking at her with wide blue eyes.
Lukas.
"Great, another one," Olivia muttered obviously referring to Lukas.
"Hey, Lukas," one tapped Lukas shoulder. "Those are the losers we were talking about earlier." Lukas eyes hardened, as he looked away from Jesse.
"Why are they building again," The only girl, who Jesse assumed was Maya, sneered loudly for Axel and Olivia to hear. "They've lost every year!"
"Lets just get to our booth," Olivia muttered, turning to walk away. Axel was bright red with flushed anger but followed Olivia.
Jesse was about to follow, with little hope that Lukas was going to be friends with her anymore… because he didn't defend her friends and quite honestly it angered her; but she found hope when she heard Lukas say, "Guys come on, was that necessary?" Jesse stopped behind the gate to listen more.
"Who cares." The one who made the comment about them being the, "Order of the Losers," said. "They are just a bunch of hopeless nerds."
"Your opinion is your opinion but you don't have to be so rude about it."
"Lukas, just forget about them, they aren't worth your time." Maya said.
"So why do you make fun of them?" Jesse didn't hear any of Lukas friends utter a word after that.
"Just forget it, Lukas." One guy said. "But once you see their building abilities you will know what we are talking about." The other two snorted with a, "yeah."
"Sad too," One said. "That new girl, I thought she was good material but now… she must not be too bright if she's hanging with those two duds." Lukas was silent, Jesse could hear the internal struggle within Lukas.
"Lets just sign in and get to our booth." Lukas said hollowly.
Jesse risked turning around and looked at Lukas, he must have noticed, or maybe he planned it, but he looked at her too. They exchanged a silent conversation in half a second.
"We need to talk," she said.
"I know." He responded.
"Come over tomorrow."
"I'll be there, and sorry about them."
"... thanks for sticking up for us." With that Jesse walked around until she found her booth with her friends.
As soon as she found her friends Axel motioned his head towards the registration booth.
"Those are the guys we were telling you about," Axel tells her. "They've been tormenting us since we were both 14 new year's." Jesse didn't responded.
"What's sad is that they got their claws in the new guy," Olivia told Axel. "I thought he was different." Axel grunted in disagreement.
"Well he's not if he's buddy-buddy with those jerks." Axel turned his back to both Jesse and Olivia.
"Can we not talk about this," Jesse asked. Both her friends looked at her, Axel with narrowed eyes and Olivia with confusion. "Sorry… it's just, his name is Lukas and he helped me carry supplies for my treehouse… maybe he's not that bad?" Axel snorted but Olivia slumped.
"That was before he knew you were associated with us," Axel sneered, looking at Lukas specifically this time. "Just forget him, Jesse." Jesse frowned at that, because that was the exact problem.
The next day, Jesse was up on the top floor of her treehouse, working on the first wall, figuring out a good design when she heard someone climbing the ladders.
Jesse turned to see Lukas climbing out of the little hole in the floor. They exchanged looks quickly, the silence was suddenly awkward between them. Jesse was the first to look away and walked to the closest chest, where she dumped forty blocks of spruce wood planks into it.
Lukas slowly climbed onto the third floor and sat down, his legs still in the entrance from the second floor to the third.
"So~," Lukas broke the silence. Jesse sighed, and walked to sit next to him, she was curled into herself chin resting on her knees.
"Your friends bully my friends," Jesse stated the obvious. Lukas flinched and it was like the dam broke.
"Jesse, I am so sorry about yesterday," Lukas blurted. "I didn't know they would act that way, sure they gossiped but… but… bully, I didn't know they would go that far. I don't know what I would do if I had known they were like that… I don't know what to do Jesse! Sure they do… that, but at the same time… they are my friends and they have good hearts, you've heard the stories I've told you about them. But they do that, and I don't want to hang out with jerks, but they are good people…" Lukas held his head, his long blonde hair hiding his eyes.
"I don't know what to do," Lukas sighed. "I can't help but see their good qualities but at the exact same time I can't help but see their bad ones too. And I don't think I can ignore the bad ones anymore than I can like their good ones." Jesse sighed, not knowing what to say even in the slightest.
"I believe you," Jesse muttered. "And I understand, I got a sister the exact same way; can be a real jerk, a plain old bully, to the people she didn't like for the dumbest reasons... but when I see her at home, cooking dinner and cleaning my old house or babysitting… it's like they are two separate people in one body. You can't help but love them but also… deeply dislike them..." Lukas nods, knowing that it was true.
"So what are we going to do?" Lukas asked, voice hollow and hard with distaste for the situation they found themselves in. "I don't want to chose between my friends, Jesse, and I am not going to make you chose. And I have a feeling neither one of our friends will except our friendship… this is like some messed up version of Romeus and Juliet." Lukas covered his mouth with the palm of his hand while Jesse thought.
"What if…" Jesse thought. "What if… we find some middle ground? I might have not have known Olivia and Axel for long, and I know they will not like you for who you associate with, but if we could get… at the least… get Maya, Gill and Aiden...?" Jesse asked just to make sure she got the names right. Lukas nodded.
"To stop with the teasing, and get them to at least agree that we can be friends without them having to have anything to do with us, maybe… maybe, we can have our friendship, still manage to keep our friends, and get your buddies off Olivia's, Axel's, and I'm guessing mine too, backs. What do you think?" Lukas face was passive for a few minutes, with each passing second Jesse started to see the flaws in her plan. She started to doubt herself, and it came in the form of a heavy blush.
Suddenly, Lukas nodded.
"I think it's doable." Lukas agreed seriously. "And as a bonus I can keep the teasing to a minimum… I mean, Aiden, Gill and Maya might be arrogant but they aren't evil. I think I could get them to see the error of their ways… the only problem is, they can't know I'm associated with you, and we have to ease them into this; It might take awhile." Jesse huffed, thinking some more.
"Well then, Lukas, Welcome to Romeus and Juliet, FRIENDSHIP RIVALRY ADDITION, playing Romeus we have LUKAS, playing Juliet we have, THE AMAZING JESSE!" Lukas cracked a smile that he couldn't ease off his face, smiling like an idiot… before frowning mockingly.
"Why am I just 'Lukas' and you are the 'amazing Jesse?"
