"I thought you agreed to help me out with this potion! Ugh! Jesse! Get over here!"

Jesse groaned in his bed as Ivor whined from outside. His voice wasn't usually the best wake-up call. Usually, he just leaves Petra or Olivia to deal with potions. Lukas was too busy writing to do anything.

"Ivor, gimmie 5 more minutes. It's been a few weeks after our Admin defeat, remember?"

Indeed, an administrator very recently struck Beacontown, but Jesse took it down with a group effort of Jack and Petra. Petra hit the road and Jack was just Jack.

"JESSE!"

"Fine! I'm coming!"

He came out of his bed with his classic suspenders still on. "What a drag.." Jesse never really wore any other clothes than his suspensers. He always wore things on TOP of them. Armor, straps, you name it. He finally mustered the effort to FULLY get out of his bed... and instantly flopped down the stairs into the Order Hall, where Ivor was waiting.

"So nice of you to drop in! Now, come! If my potion explodes, I'm pinning it on you!"

"Why not Axel or-ugh, forget it. I'm coming."

Jesse follows the rushing Ivor outside the Order Hall, and exits into Beacontown.

He exits, seeing how bright and beautiful everything was. People have already fixed the Admin problem so brilliantly, it's almost like he was never there to begin with. However, he was, and that meant another adventure to mark off. He looked up seeing the Primary Terminal. It was covered in foliage since Radar started the Beautification Project. Speaking of Radar, Jesse surprisingly didn't see him in the Order Hall today. "Probably helping out up there", he thought. He makes his steps downward and onto the main street.

You could mistake this town for a freak show and it was perfectly acceptable. There was a house that looked like a squid, dang it! He also saw his Enderman he built for Endercon. How he desperately wanted to meet Gabriel. How naive he was. They slayed a dragon, or so the stories told. Everyone - even Ivor, kept that a secret. A secret that determined their fate as heroes.

Jesse was definitely getting sidetracked for sure. He walked passed Nell's house. Surprised she didn't jump out at him like she usually did. Well, at least he got peace. Being a hero and a mayor wasn't easy. He walked past Reuben's Memorial.

"Oh, hey Jesse!"

He turned around and saw a familiar character in a blue striped jacket and brown hair, and had a dog with her. Of course, this was a friendly character Jesse met at the White Pumpkin's Mansion. Her name was Stacy Plays. At first, she didn't trust Jesse, but is now staying in Beacontown.

"Hi, Stacy! Been a while. How's house rebuilding with Stampy going?"

"Going okay, I guess. He's at his house right now, with some blonde guy. Forgot what his name was."

"Lukas?"

"Right. Well, I, on the other hand, just got back to exploring. We only just moved in and 5 seconds later there's an Admin attack! So, that's why I'm taking the time to explore this beautiful town." She said, with a smile, and then looked at the Reuben Memorial.

"I assume he was your best friend?"

Jesse looked down on himself and then the memorial, and his smile faded.

"Yeah. Best pig that ever lived. I'm sure you heard of my battle against the Witherstorm. In the end, Reuben saved all of us. He was a hero." Jesse said, nearly tearing up from just mentioning him.

"Oh, well, I'm so sorry, Jesse. I.. uh.. I'm gonna get back to Stampy. See how he's doing with the build. Bye.. Jesse."

"Bye.."

Jesse, of course, was still staring at the memorial. At last, he picked up the courage to keep going.

He kept moving forward, unsure of all the residents. Nobody really talked to him much. At all. He eventually reached Stampy's house to find Lukas on the outside, rebuilding with tons of wool & wood blocks. Stampy's house DID seem very flammable, but the Admin's lava never burned it.

"Soooo, Lukas! How's it going?" Jesse slid right onto a nearby seat. Stampy was very audience-friendly. He decided to set up a seating area in front of his house in case he had visitors.

"Oh. Hey Jesse. I-uh, it's going alright. Why are you up this early, anyway?" Lukas questioned Jesse. Jesse was definitely one for late sleeps.

"Ivor."

"Oh. Right. Well, I'm sure you'll help him out no problem."

"Tha-"

Jesse was interrupted by a loud fellow.

"HEEELLOOOOOO, Jesse!"

Jesse recognised that intro from anywhere. A normal being wearing a not-so normal hoodie.

"Stampy! Hi! How's the build going?"

"Well, uh, it's almost done! Just need some more wood & wool."

Lukas chimed in. "I'd do it myself but I'm too busy working on the interior."

Jesse smiled, "Well, luckily, I happen to have more time. I'll see what I can do!"

"Thanks Jesse." Lukas faintly smiled, and Jesse got off the seat and went to work.

A/N: Well, guess that's the end of Chapter 1!

Jesse: Yeah, but why am I still in Beacontown?

A/N: More like, why did you run away with Petra? I decided it's time for you to settle down. Here. In Beacontown?

Jesse: Well, who else am I gonna meet in Beacontown?

A/N: For now? Definitely Jack & Radar. We can't forget about ol' Nurm too. Don't wanna keep Ivor waiting too long, though. Until then, see you around!
