"Dude, where am I?" I looked around the scenery. "Did I die?"
I started walking around aimlessly. The wind tried to tell which way to go but sadly… I don't speak wind. In its attempts to throw me in the direction it wanted me to go, the wind blew my blond bangs all in my face.
"Excuse me... who are you?" When I finally fixed my hair into a comfortable position, I turned to the owner of the voice. He had brown eyes, and matching hair. His red checkered hoodie matched his shoes and I'm positive that this is now heaven. "I'm Julianna, can you tell me where I am?"
"Minecraft…I'm Mitch. I take it your new here."
"Maybe." If he's thinking of trying something, I might as well act like I know what I'm doing. "How does one tell if someone is new?"
"You're in the default skin. Teal shirt, partly tucked in and blue pants, although you're wearing shorts, I'm guessing only because you're a girl." He shrugged.
"Sexist much?"
"What? No! That's not what I meant. Look, I was just walking around for more food since back at our camp."
"Our? There's more people?" I almost jumped with joy. The very thought that I won't go through this alone is enough because although Mitch seems like a nice guy, it doesn't mean that I should trust him.
"Yeah, it's almost dark, do you want to come with me to the camp? Being on your own at night isn't the best idea. The monsters here can be a pain, literally and metaphorically."
"Monsters?" All of this is about to take it's one of these monsters, and I don't have anything to fight back with.
"Yes, monsters, now do you want to come with… or stay here? Either way I need to go back to the camp or the others are going to worry." Mitch started taking a few steps back.
"Lead the way, I have nowhere else to go anyway and you've obviously been here longer than I have." I looked to the ground in embarrassment.
"Ok, well then we'll have to leave now, or we'll be fighting monsters on our way."
I nodded and followed Mitch through the forest. We took various twists and turns, we leaped over fallen trees and climbed over rocks. In the end we finally made it...or at least I think. It wasn't mich…just a few cabins (about 10) and a huge fire pit in the middle. There were a bunch of people around the fire talking and laughing, I couldn't tell about what though. "Welcome to the camp!"
"Cute." I smiled.
"What? Me?"
I rolled my eyes. 'Obviously' "Your camp…it looks warm and friendly."
"Yeah, it is, but I'll warn you that my friends can be insane and say insulting things." Mitch put a hand on my shoulder anf finally announced that we were there. "Hey doods! What's cooking?! Smells good!"
"Hey Mitch! How was the hunt?" One of them ask, couldn't tell who tough, Mitch was blocking my view.
"Good, good, listen, I have someone new that I want y'all to meet." Mitch stepped to the side so that EVERYONE could see me. I waved. "Guys this is Julianna."
"Hey a newbie!" One guys yelled out. He was in a blue space suit with a pig next to him. On his other side there was a girl with pink hair and brown eyes. She had a red long sleeved shirt with blue straps holding the sleeves up and demin shorts. At least I won't be the only girl. "Hey Julianna!"
"Biggums! You finally found yourself a girlfriend!" A VERY furry guy in a suit called out. Mitch turned to me. "Ignore him, he's just a silly bacca. His name is Jerome but everyone pretty much calls him Fluffy."
"Ok." I shrugged.
"The guys in the space suit if Jason and next to him is his girlfriend Brittany." I nodded in understanding. "The pig next to him named Jeffery…don't question it."
"I wasn't going to."
"Adam! Where did you put my budder sword?!" Another girl came running out of the first cabin. She had light blond hair that covered her right eye with a bit of orange on her bangs, her blue eyes stood out vibrantly. She was wearing a white hoodie with yellow rims on the sleeves, the bottom rim and on her hood. She was running around the camp looking for this "Adam". When she passed us, I saw that the back of her hoodie had the letters B and W. Her grayish-blueish short contrasted against her white high tops with yellow laces (seeing a pattern here?). Mitch chuckled. "That's Allison."
When Allison finally found who she was looking for, she jumped on the guys (I'm guessing he's Adam) back. The guy had a strange out-fit on. It's hard to describe. "That's Sky or Adam. He shares the same cabin with Allison, although they say they're just friends, most of us can say that they like each other. Even if they refuse to admit it."
"Ohhhhhh…"
"Let me introduce you to everyone else." Mitch grabbed my hand and lead me to the fire. I sat down on a stump while I took in everyone's characteristics. "Hey I'm TY!"
"I'm Maddy." Said the girl sitting next to Ty, who say next to Brittany.
I waved. Ty had brown hair covering his left eye. He had a white v-neck shirt on with gray pants and he had purple bracelets that matched his shoes. Ty had a black head set on that glowed green on both sides. Maddy had medium blond hair that went to her waist, her shirt was similar to Waldo's with 5 stripes in total of red and white, and she had white straps on her shoulders holding the sleeves in place. Maddy had gray shorts and black high-tops with purple laces. She had a head set similar to Ty's but with a red microphone, but the thing that stood out the most were her eyes. I've never seen anyone with light pink eyes before.
Sitting next Maddy was a blue creature with an orange sail thing on his head, in a suit. "Not to be rude." I started. "but what are you?"
"My name's Quinton, I'm a-"
"Fish!" Adam yelled out when he passed the group, Allison was still chasing him. "Ok, let's get one thing straight, I'm an amphibian, not a fish."
"Oh, ok, then what kind of amphibian are you?" I asked.
"A mudkip."
"See! He's a fish in denial!" A new guy yelled out. I never noticed him before. He had sunglasses on just like Adam and he was basically wearing all black, but I was able to make out a bit of blue. "I'm Ian by the way!" Ian held out his hand for me to shake, which I did.
"AHH CRAP! ALLISON WHY!?" Adam yelled. Allison came walking over to the fire victoriously. "BECAUSE YOU STOLE MY SWORD! Heeeeey guys!" Allison turned her head in my direction. "Who's this?"
"I'm Julianna."
"Welcome aboard to the land of insanity! Where we party all night and have prank wars by day!"
"No, Allison, that's YOUR normal day." Brittany grinned and leaned against Jason. In response, Jason put an arm around Brittany's shoulders.
"Yeah, yeah, anyway do you want to change out of that?" Allison offered. "It's ok if you don't want to."
I raised an eyebrow. "Change out of what?"
"The default clothes that you're wearing. Allison's really good, she helped me and Maddy with our cloths." Brittany sat up and looked into the pot that was hanging over the fire. "Dinners almost ready guys."
"Yuuuussss!" Allison hugged Brittany from behind thus pulling her away from Jason. I couoldn't see his face from behind his helmet so I don't know what his reaction was.
"Yeah baby, bring it on!" Mitch laughed.
"So, you in?"
"Uhhh…." I looked down at my cloths than back at theirs. They had more color and personality than mine, might as well give it a shot. "Sure?"
"Was that a question or a statement?" Maddy finally said something.
"Both?"
"Ok, I'm taking it was a statement, come on! We'll fix you up all pretty, that even the sun would jealous." Brittany stood up and pulled me over there by my hands. Maddy and Allison came along and we walked into the cabin that Allison ran out of when I first saw her. "Ok, so the first thing we got to do is get your measurement ." Allison said while looking through a drawer. "Hey Maddy, can you go keep watch? We don't want Adam or anyone else coming in here while we're doing this."
Maddy groaned. "Why can't Brittany do it?"
"Because I trust you more!"
"Hey!" Brittany yelled out.
"Oh, ok, that makes perfect sense." Maddy walked out and closed the door behind her. I laughed.
"Anyway, let's get started." Allison walked toward me with a tape ruler.
After what seemed to take forever, my new look was finally finished. I now have pink shoes, a gray shirt, jeans and rainbow colored bracelets because I can. I did a happy dance/fangirl moment in the middle of the living room….den… place. I don't care what you call it, I LOVE MY NEW LOOK! "you look…absolutely fabulous darling." Brittany played with my short hair. It was as short as a boy's hair cut but my bangs were longer and just way more epic.
"You look like a star!" Allison walked me to the door. "Ready to make your grand entrance?"
I shrugged. 'Where are they going with this?' "Well, while you guys do that I'm going to start serving dinner." Brittany walked out the door.
"I have a quick question." I spun around, feeling the flow of the outfit.
"Yeah, what is it?" Allison looked up from the drawer as she was putting stuff away.
"Is there anyone else here besides you guys?"
"Oh yeah, thousands, but all have their own group and places to live, we just choose to be here because it's more peaceful despite all the noise we make. You can stay with us until you learn the works and how to survive if you like."
"Thank you."
"No problem…let's go show the others."
Allison opened the door and yelled "TADA!"
Everyone turned to look at me. They gave me multiple compliments and nods of their head, silently saying that they approved of my outfit. Allison and I walked over to the fire and sat down on a few open spots. "Mitch? Mitch? Earth to Mitch?" Brittany had a bowl in her hands while trying to get Mitch's attention. I'm guessing she was serving and he wasn't taking the food. In the end she gave it someone else and continued serving everyone else. I patiently waited for my turn to be served and I hummed a tune that was stuck in my head. Brittany turned to me and grinned after multiple attempts to get Mitch's attention, when she tried again. "Oh, I get it."
"Huh-what?" Mitch snapped back into reality. The group chuckled. "Oh, nothing, nothing, here you go." Brittany handed Mitch his food and continued serving those who hadn't gotten their fill yet. When I finally got my bowl of food, I couldn't help but feel so…..so…..oh what's the word? Humbled. These people don't know me, yet they gave me new clothes, food and Jason said that I can share the cabin with him and Brittany! I slowly ate the food and after a while I realized that Brittany didn't get anything to eat. "You're not hungry Brittany?"
"Not really, there's not enough anyway. By the way, Ian it's your turn to do the dishes."
"What?! I did the dishes last week!"
"Liar! You haven't done the dishes in over a month!"
"Fine, fine, whatever, who has to make dinner tomorrow?" Ian put his food bowl on the ground.
"I think it's Ty." Quinton also put his bowl on the ground.
"OH GOD! Let's just have the amburlamps on speed dial!" Adam laughed.
"My cooking is not that bad!" Ty stood up but Maddy pulled him back down. "I'm sorry to say this but you can't cook."
Most of the guys burst out laughing. Brittany giggled. "I'll help you Ty…It's not like I do anything with Mr. Over protective around."
"I'm not over protective!" Jason stood up. I rolled my eyes. The group was still laughing except Mitch, he was staring at me in a daze, I pretended not to notice him starring.
"Then let me leave the camp tonight with Maddy and Allison to fight some zombies and skeletons." Brittany took a step forward.
"…fine…"
"Finally! Took you long enough to let her, she's a good fighter." Maddy smiled as she leaned into Ty.
"I'll be fine Jason….Julianna do you want to come along?"
"Uhhhh… I don't know how to fight." I hung my head in shame.
"Don't worry we'll teach you." Allison pulled me into a side hug.
'I think I'll like it here' I turned to Mitch and winked. He winked back and smirked. 'Yup, I'm defiantly going to like it here.'
