AN: Not to confuse people, but when I address a Minecrafter, I call them by their skins.
Example: Sky.
But when I have someone talking to another Minecrafter, I have them address them by their real name.
Example: Adam.
(And Dawn's real name is Rachel, just a heads up.)
Enjoy!
. . .
Eyes.
One of the best features of a Minecrafter.
It was Deadlox who first thought of the idea as he was walking the streets of GeoCity, casually chatting with TheBajanCanadian.
"So what's up, Ty?" Bajan, or more commonly known as Mitch asked him.
Deadlox shrugged. "Nothing. Hey, I was just thinking…most of Team Crafted have sunglasses or helmets. What color are their eyes?"
Mitch laughed. "Whoa there Ty, what brought up this question? Surfing Tumblr at 3 in the morning?"
The headphone wearing Minecrafter noted to himself to delete his web history next time. "Maybe…but think about it! We don't know what color Adam or Ian's eyes are!"
"And Jason too…you're right, dood. We've got to find this out." Mitch stroked his invisible beard.
"Where to first, my Canadian friend?" Deadlox looked around. "Seto is off somewhere making potions, and I never know which pond Quentin is in."
Mitch glanced towards Blocky Lake. "Where's Dakota and Jordan?"
A new voice came up, a furry figure popping out of the shadows. "And Martin and Bashur!"
"What the freak, Biggums. Were you there the whole time?" Mitch sighed as Deadlox screamed.
Jerome grinned. "Maybe. What's this about eyes?"
Mitch quickly explained what was going on as Deadlox thought to himself quietly.
I've got crimson, Mitch has a light coffee color, Jerome has dark chocolate, Rachel has blue and green, Dakota with an almost black, Quentin with a bright yellow, and Seto with dark blue and hints of purple. What color are Adam's eyes?
"Hey, guys! What's going on?"
The boys looked over to see Dawn jogging over to them, her engagement ring securely on her right ring finger. It was a beautiful citrine* color with emeralds and sapphires surrounding it. Sky had gallantly told Dawn that it reminded him of her eyes.
"Hey, Rachel! We're just wondering if you knew the color of Adam's eyes." Jerome shrugged.
Dawn thought about it for a moment. "Now that you mention it, I haven't. Wow, Jeremy, you were on Tumblr again weren't you?"
The Bacca's cheeks went a bright red. "N-No, I wasn't!"
Dawn laughed and patted Jerome's cheek. "I was kidding, but I guess you weren't. Jeez guys, you all have a point. Ian and Adam are always wearing those sunglasses and Jason wears the visor. We need to find out this mystery!"
"And then onto the discussion of which ships to sail?" Mitch asked hopefully.
Jerome started laughing as Deadlox glared at the Canadian. "I swear to Notch, if you put up more pictures of Skylox in my bedroom from the Internet, I will murder you in your sleep."
Dawn patted Deadlox's cheek. "Don't worry, Ty. I'll help you with the Merome photos."
The two best friends went pale and shook their heads. "No, no, we're fine. Please don't, Rachel."
"That's what I thought."
There was an awkward silence before Deadlox coughed. "We should go find Ian, right? He should be first."
Everyone agreed as they headed off into the city, walking towards SSundee's house.
…
"I win."
"What?! What the balls, man?! You're cheating!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
"I swear, his laugh!"
"Martin, shut up! Minecraftia could hear us if Adam made you laugh even harder!"
"It's on my bucket list."
"Another game? I want black, because…you know."
"Shut up, Batman!"
"You should talk, Jordan!"
"Guys, shush! Rachel thinks I'm fighting some squids…just shut up!"
BANG, BANG. The door caused some of the guys to scream.
"HOW DID THEY FIND US?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"SHUT UP, ADAM!"
"BASHUR, THROW THE DRINKS AWAY!"
"WHAT THE BALLS, DUDE!? IAN, GRAB THEM NOW!"
"SOMEONE JUST THROW THE DAMN DRINKS AWAY!"
The six Minecrafters froze in fear as the door swung open, the cause being a beautiful, gleaming diamond axe named Betty.
Jerome cackled as he ran into the house, swinging Betty as he grinned. "HERE'S BETTY!"
The lights were clicked on by Dawn to see Bodil under a table, SSundee hiding in the kitchen, CaptainSparklez stuck in a window, xRpMx13 running around in his cape, Bashur holding some watermelons in the fridge, and Sky rocking back and forth in a corner holding butter.
"Adam?!" Dawn cried.
Sky looked at his fiancée guilty and pushed Sparklez out of the window, shouting, "Jeffery! Here, boy!"
The named pig snorted and came up to him, a carrot on a stick tied to its back. Sky silently thanked TrueMU for lending him Jeffery as an escape route.
"Giddyup, Jeffery!" Sky yelled, grabbing the carrot.
Jeffery snorted and ran off, Sky whooping with excitement as the pig took him to TrueMU's house.
Dawn was silent as she watched Adam ride off into the sun, her gaze blank. "Were you guys gambling?" She turned, her eyes full of fear as she spotted the table where SSundee sometimes played poker.
xRpMx13 laughed nervously. "Well…not exactly gambling…"
Dawn whirled around furiously as Deadlox and Mitch peered in. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NOT EXACTLY GAMBLING?! YOU'RE IRISH FOR NOTCH'S SAKE."
Jerome slurped some Capri Sun. "What Ryan means is that they weren't gambling with money, Rachel. They were gambling with Capri Suns and potato chips."
"Oh, and butter. That was Adam's idea, obviously." Sparklez added, walking in through the front door.
SSundee shrugged. "It was all over a game of checkers."
Dawn glanced at the table, where scattered checkers coated the oak tabletop. She was absolutely dumbfounded. "You guys were playing checkers…over butter, potato chips, and Capri Suns?"
"Pretty much, yeah." Bashur shrugged.
Dawn groaned and smacked her hand against her forehead.
"Anyways, now that we've been busted, what can I do for you guys?" SSundee dusted off his pants, glancing at the four Minecrafters that had broken into his house.
"We just wanted to know what your eyes looked like." Dawn gave a sheepish look.
Bashur cackled. "And whose idea was this? Ty's or Jeremy's?"
Mitch pointed at Deadlox and mouthed, Tumblr.
Everyone else snickered.
Deadlox, who was redder than the color of his eyes, coughed awkwardly and glared at the Canadian.
"Soooo, Ian, would you mind fulfilling our desires?" Jerome smirked.
Bodil leaned over to Sparklez and whispered, "That's what she said."
SMACK!
Bodil grumbled as Dawn sat back down, smiling as a red handprint glowed red on his cheek; the Captain was laughing his head off in the background.
SSundee looked around, raising his eyebrow. "Uh…sure. But you should know that when I take these glasses off, you've got 60 seconds. For the weirdest reason, my sanity goes down faster than that one game…what was it? Forgetfulness?"
"No Ian, that was Amnesia." Jerome sighed. "I still have nightmares from that."
Everyone nodded fearfully as Bashur shuddered.
An awkward silence descended.
"So can we see them?" Dawn asked hopefully.
SSundee sighed, reaching up for his sunglasses. "Sure. Here goes nothing…"
He pulled them off, and everyone gasped with shock.
SSundee's eyes were amazing.
His eyes were pure ice blue, with little flecks of cobalt circling around in his irises. Every time he blinked, they would swirl around and flicker.
The seconds ticked by, and the blackness of his pupils started to spread. The Minecrafters nodded once they were done, and SSundee breathed a sigh of relief as he put his glasses back on.
Dawn was dazzled. "Wow, Ian…that was awesome!"
SSundee scratched the back of his head and blushed sheepishly. "Well…I guess so. Most people don't see it until it's too late."
Mitch straightened his back. "Off to the spaceman, Biggums!"
Jerome brandished Betty. "Let's win the Hunger Games!"
Dawn and Deadlox watched as the two leaped into trees and whooped as they dashed across the leaves, Mitch firing arrows for good measure.
"WE GONNA WIN THE HUNGER DEANS!" Mitch shouted, jumping onto Jerome's back as the Bacca raced to the large spaceship that stood out against the sunset.
"YEAH BUDDY!"
The other two Minecrafters looked at each other and sighed.
xRpMx13 tugged the wrinkles out of his cape. "Well, I'll you all later. I have some important business that needs tending to, such as food and sleep. See ya!"
The Batman leaped out the window, trying to 'fly' but failing miserably as he faceplanted the ground. "I PLANNED THAT!"
SSundee glanced at Bodil, who was trying to climb out of the house by using the chimney. "Why does no one use the door anymore…?"
No one commented on why Bashur decided to pick up the fridge and throw it out the wall, cackling as he threw watermelons in the air as he frolicked out the hole in the wall.
Sparklez quietly added 'Broken wall' to the list that he had tacked to the door under the name of 'Things Bashur has broken'. There were others such as 'Blown up entire house' and 'Put TNT in the fireplace'.
Dawn slowly edged away from the hearth.
The Captain yawned and glanced at the sun setting. "I'll see you guys later! Gotta go and see Jerry; he must be worried sick."
He walked out the front door and hugged the remaining three Minecrafters, then headed off to his house in the distance.
Deadlox nodded at the sunset. "We better get moving, Rachel. We can crash at Jason's place for the night."
Dawn smiled at him and twisted her ring, still marveling at the image of SSundee's eyes. "No time to lose! And besides, we have to catch up to Mitch and Jeremy."
She linked her arm through Deadlox's, and they both grinned.
"Movie reference?"
"Movie reference."
They started skipping off as they headed towards MinecraftUniverse's spaceship, singing at the top of their lungs.
"WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ!"

AN: *Citrine is a shade of yellow. :3
