Hey, throwing stars! I know that you guys are probably getting impatient with me not updating my other stories, but you guys have to realize that I am stuck on HUGE Writer's Block on each and every one of them. Menaces of Minecraft, The Past is the Key, and Sucked Into Reality will not be updated for a while, at least until I fix some things and get out of Writer's Block. While I was trying to figure out how to fix those stories, I came up with a new story idea (which comes to me quite frequently). Well, this is the story!
I am sorry that I haven't been able to update them, but you guys have to understand. I promise that I will try to update them as soon as I get out of Writer's Block. While you guys are waiting, you can read this story! Hope you enjoy it!
"What are you doing, Carter? We have to be studying for the Spanish test we have tomorrow. Señor Christensen will flunk us if we don't do it!" My best friend April cried out, staring at me as I pulled up YouTube on my laptop.
Looking up to April, I then said, "I know, but I was on Twitter earlier and I saw that Adam had an important message to tell everyone at 5 o'clock EST. I just have to find his live stream…" April's face immediately lit up. We both were Sky Army recruits, and we both loved watching the 20 year-old's videos. Sky was the very first Minecraft YouTuber that I ever watched, and I had been watching him ever since the beginning. I was very proud of myself, because I was the very first Sky Army recruit ever. I'm not even joking you. Carter Christiansen, the 17 year-old girl that was the very first person to subscribe to his channel… sounds kinda ludicrous, but it is the complete and honest truth.
Averting my attention back to my screen, I then quickly found the link to his live stream video. The very second that I entered the chat room for his live stream, everything turned chaotic. April sat down next to me on my bed, brushing her long brown hair from in front of her sparkling brown eyes. I'm not kidding you. Her eyes actually sparkle. She is always so happy, never being mad or sad for long. April had an internal happiness to her that I always longed for.
Right away, I spotted the small webcam screen in the top left corner of the live stream screen. I instantly looked at Adam, or in other words, SkyDoesMinecraft. Now, I wouldn't say that Adam is the handsomest man ever, but I still thought he was moderately cute. Adam had a small beard growing, his curly brown hair being matted slightly. He must have been stressing over something before… but what could SkyDoesMinecraft have to worry about? He is the biggest Minecraft YouTuber on YouTube, having passed up Tobuscus and CaptainSparklez in subscriber amount about six months ago. His brown eyes were filled with worry, although obviously nobody else saw it. I usually could tell another person's emotions just through their eyes. He wore a simple long-sleeved black shirt, dark blue jeans (of what I could barely see of), and he had on his black and dark blue headphones. He wasn't hot like Mitchell Hughes was, but he still had certain qualities to him that made him "attractive".
"What song should I sing now, guys?" Adam asked, looking towards the webcam screen. It almost looked like he was looking directly at me, but I knew that couldn't be possible. I lived in Southern Utah, while he lived in Washington. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of miles separated us from each other. How could that be possible?
After a moment of reading the chat list, he then said, "OK, so most of you guys wanted, Hack That. I haven't done much rap before, but I can give it a try. Don't hit me with copyright, please."
I leaned back against my pillows, a small smile creeping up on my lips. I had never heard Sky rap that much before, so I was actually looking forward to watching him attempt to, and possibly fail, rap.
Taking in a deep breath, Adam then began to sing, Hack That, in his freakin' amazing singing voice. "I see you sneaking; I can see you crouching down low. Wanna hop up in my mine cart and take a ride home? Then we'll go to my place and craft us up some iron swords, and possibly make some potions. Stand back and watch me hack that (out at my foe), hack that (Zombie KO), hack that (MLG pro), hack that (ooohhh). Hack that (my iron sword), hack that (it's good to go), hack that (you mobs don't know), hack that (ooohhh)."
I continued listening to him as he attempted to sing that song without messing up. Every time that he messed up, though, April and I would laugh. Sky was very funny, which was one of the main reasons that we loved watching him.
For the next two hours, Sky kept on playing different survival games rounds, singing whenever he chose to pick a song. Of course, we didn't watch him the whole time. I left up the live stream on my laptop screen, and while we listened to him, we quizzed each other for the Spanish test we had to take.
After we were done studying, I walked back to my bed, looking at the screen. Adam was currently finishing a round of Hide N' Seek, still managing to stay hidden. "No, no, DJBacca, don't do dis!" Adam cried out, immediately running from his hiding spot and running from the Minecrafter DJBacca. April immediately got excited, cheering on Adam to run faster, even though he couldn't hear us. Lucky for Adam, though, the end of the round came soon after he started running, and he won that round as the very last hider.
Leaning back in his seat, Adam threw his hands in the air, crying, "Yes! Take that, DJBacca!" Looking down afterwards, Adam then seemed to tense up. "Guys, I have an important announcement to tell you," Adam said, then pulling his face cam to full screen. April and I fell silent, watching the laptop with full interest. Adam looked worried… how bad could this announcement be?
The chat seemed to freeze when Adam said that. Taking in a deep breath, Adam then said, "Guys, I have been playing Minecraft for three years now, and I am thrilled to have hit 6 million subscribers since I started. However, everything that starts must have an end." April and I immediately looked at each other. What was this getting to? "Well, this is my end. I am quitting YouTube."
Not even a second later, the chat exploded with people crying out, "WHAT?!" I stared in shock at the screen, unable to breath. SkyDoesMinecraft was quitting YouTube?! April looked just as shocked as I did. Her brown eyes were widened in shock, and her mouth was gaping wide open. Not a very attractive look to any girl.
"Guys, I know this is shocking and all, but I have decided to stop recording videos. Even with having your guys' support ever since the beginning, I cannot afford to do any more videos. I want to start a normal life: get an education, start a family someday, all that other jazz. But in order to do so, I have to stop certain things. I am sorry, recruits, and I hope that you guys can forgive me." Adam then reached forward to something, and then the live stream shut off. Everyone was left there in shock. He didn't even say goodbye to us. He just up and left. Looking over to April, I saw that she was bawling. Sky was her absolute favorite YouTuber, and he just quit YouTube.
Looking back to my black screen, I then took in a deep, shaky breath. But a single tear slipped from my eye, landing on my keyboard. SkyDoesMinecraft just quit YouTube… forever.
Hope you guys enjoyed this prologue! Sorry that it was so short, but that's how prologue's are. Once again, I promise that I will try to update my other stories as soon as I can, but that will have to wait for a while until I get out of Writer's Block.
If you guys have any questions that you want to ask me or the characters in my story that are going to be coming up soon (this also includes the plot of the story), then leave a review! Let me know if you guys liked it so far as well, because I might not continue it if it is not something you guys want to read.
I will see you throwing stars later :)
