(FRED'S POV)

It had been seven years since Hadrian and Mevia were banished to the world of giant chickens, and in that time, Fred and Otto have worked tirelessly to make the games great and fun again. Looking over it now, Fred couldn't help but smile at just how far the games have come since then. They've had lots of new competitors come and go, and even though Fred only visits once a month, he has become somewhat of a prodigy to the people of this world.

Which is why he must leave that sign up at the portal to his home world. With various people scurrying around the Portal Hallway like ants, he could not risk word of his heroics reaching Romeo's ears.

Right now, he was just returning home from another monthly visit with Otto to see how the games were going. Quickly applying his human form, he took a quick glance at the sign, warning people not to mention his heroics in this world and stepped through the orange portal.

Travelling through Sky City each time to visit the Portal Hallways was going to become tedious, and Fred knew it, so he replaced the temple's Nether Portal with an Exit portal, and changed the location where people spawn when they enter the world to the front of the Temple.

After the swirl of colors had faded, Fred looking around for the colorful sprawl known as Beacontown, and quickly set towards it. Lately, Fred has noticed that Jesse and his friends aren't quite as close as they once were. Fred didn't really pay it much mind, he knew how busy Jesse was with Beacontown and how busy Axel and Olivia were with Boom Town and Redstonia.

But, there was one red flag that Fred did not miss, Petra was starting to get annoyed that her friends were starting to waste their lives with responsibility over adventure. This alarmed Fred, because that was exactly what drove Romeo to snap and attempt to kill Fred. No matter what it takes, Fred swore that he was going to stop that happening to Jesse friends at any cost.

Arriving at the gates to Beacontown, he encountered Jesse's intern, Radar who was doing his usual duties around town. He was coming out of the mines, and he seemed to be heading towards the Order Hall, obviously looking for Jesse.

"Hey, Radar!" Fred called out.

"Ah! Oh. Hello. Fred, sir." Radar responded, stammering a little bit.

Fred could understand why, it was only last month that Fred decided that Radar could be trusted enough to know about his Admin Powers. Ever since then, Radar had been treating him as though he were some kind of deity. (To be honest, his powers could classify him as such.)

"Could you inform Jesse that I have returned, and that if he needs me, I'll be in my house?" Fred asked.

"Roger that!" Radar said, making a salute gesture before running off towards the Order Hall. Fred couldn't help but chuckle at Radar's antics. Turning around towards his own house, he walked inside.

(JESSE'S POV)

"And that's how those five friends, plus the bravest pig in the world, took their place in history as some of the greatest heroes who ever lived." Lukas finished reading.

A snoring sound got their attention. Yep, Axel had fallen asleep again. Olivia gave him a hard elbow in the ribs. He woke up instantly.

"Ah! Whowahuh? What part are we at?" Axel asked. "Am I being awesome?"

"We thought it was great, Lukas." Olivia commented. "Although, not always technically accurate."

"Yeah, I mean, well, I definitely exaggerated here and there, but it was for the drama." Lukas explained.

"I mean, it made us sound cool, and that's a good thing." Axel pointed out.

"Yeah, but it might make people think we did stuff that we didn't actually do." Olivia reasoned.

"It's all fair game if it's helping you to tell a good story." Jesse said. "It's not like you're lying to, like, trick anyone."

"Yeah! That's exactly what I thought." Lukas agreed.

"If you're planning on including schematics we should talk though." Olivia said.

"…I think I'm okay." Lukas responded. "I had been hoping to have it ready to read at Founding Day, but, uh… next year."

"I can't believe it's Founding Day already. Sneaks up on me every time." Olivia remarked.

"Congrats buddy, I'm proud of you for finishing it. That took a lot of work." Jesse congratulated.

"I'm glad you liked it. You did so much, Jesse, you're a real hero." Lukas said.

"But, we all did, right?" Axel asked.

"Yeah. We were all there." Olivia said.

"For, uh, most of it anyway."

Jesse stood up.

"Hey, come on guys. We all did it together. We're the Order of the Stone, after all." Jesse reminded.

Lukas scribbled something down in his book.

"It is a good note though, I'll keep that in mind when I'm editing." Lukas said. "Well, this has all been really helpful feedback, guys. Once Ivor and Harper get back from their adventures, I can add a chapter about them, and then it will finally be done."

"Man, they've been gone a long time." Axel commented.

The front door of the Order Hall opened, to show Jesse's intern, Radar walking through.

"Jesse, your intern." Olivia announced.

"Jesse?"

"Oh! Hey Radar." Jesse greeted.

"Oh, gosh. Wow. I didn't know all of you would be in here." Radar said. "Olivia, ma'am. Axel, sir. Lukas, sir. So sorry to interrupt everyone."

"Aw, he is just adorable." Olivia commented.

"My deepest, sincerest, utmost apologies if I've caused any inconvenience." Radar apologized.

"You don't need to apologize, we're just hanging out." Jesse said.

"Right. Sorry. Uh—uh—Sorry. I mean, uh—" Radar stammered.

"Aw."

"So, what's up?" Jesse inquired.

"I got a few messages to give to you. The first is from Fred, who wanted to let you know that he's back in town. The second is from Petra, who is on her way to the mines, for that adventure you scheduled?" Radar relayed. "If you hurry, you should still have time for that AND your Founding Day duties."

"Oh, nice! We should get going!" Jesse said. Axel, Olivia and Lukas gave him a nervous look.

"Yeah, about that…" Lukas began.

"We've actually got our OWN Founding Day stuff we need to prep for." Olivia pointed out.

"Yeah, I need to get back to Boom Town. I'm judging a TNT Rally in the morning." Axel agreed.

"Aw, that's okay. I get it. You have your life and so do I." Jesse understood.

"Thanks Jesse." Olivia sighed in relief.

"Yeah. Thanks." Axel added.

"Petra will never let you hear the end of it though." Jesse warned.

"Tell Petra I said next time for sure, okay?" Axel said. "I can't wait to see how that sword of hers is coming along."

They began to walk towards the door.

"Yeah, I'll tell her."

"I can't believe I'm walking out of the Order Hall WITH the Order! Ha!" Radar exclaimed. He looked like he was going to explode with excitement right there and then.

"Ahh, so freaking cute!" Olivia commented again, sounding a lot like Petra.

Outside.

"So, the other towns have Founding Day celebrations, huh?" Radar inquired.

"Of course, we were all part of taking down the Wither-Storm. Redstonia even hosts a whole dance in Ellegaard's honor." Olivia said.

"Yeah, it's mostly TNT and fireworks in Boom Town. Magnus let me help design the firework finale this year." Axel added.

"Well, I promise I will try and stop by. It was awesome to catch up with you guys." Lukas promised.

"Totally!" Axel agreed.

Jesse sighed.

"Won't be the same without you guys."

"Aw, buddy. You're gonna make me sad." Axel complained.

"Thanks again guys. I'll let you know as soon as I'm done with the revisions." Lukas said.

"Oh, cool. Can't wait." Axel retorted.

"Axel." Olivia responded sternly.

They walked off.

"I tell ya, I am just the luckiest." Radar said.

"Yeah?"

"Oh year! Getting to work with you, hanging out with the Order, and living in the coolest town in the whole world, Beacontown!" Radar commented.

Jesse took around. Beacontown was definitely cool in his opinion. A colorful sprawl of various different builds. Beacontown also happened to attract a lot of parrots as well. In Jesse's opinion, the place was perfect.

"I realize that somedays you'd rather be out adventuring with your friends, but I'm really glad you're our leader." Radar admitted. "You just make this place awesome."

"Yeah, but being out there, adventuring. That's good too." Jesse pointed out.

"I mean, I guess. I've never really been the adventuring type, myself. Too uh, heh, too dangerous." Radar responded. "I know that Petra is waiting for you in the mines, but I bet people would really appreciate you helping set up for the celebration."

"I'll keep that in mind." Jesse said. He approached a Tiki Head build.

"I bet one of those would look awesome on the Order Hall's front lawn." Jesse commented. He saw Radar eyeing a purple octopus build.

"You craving sea-food?" Jesse asked.

"Always, why?"

Jesse's attention was grabbed by Nell's voice.

"JESSE DUDE!" Nell exclaimed.

"Nell, I thought you were out seeing the worlds?" Jesse said.

"Did that! Righteous times! Thought I'd try settling down for a while though." Nell suggested. "Like, I love danger and derring-do as much as the next person? But sometimes you just wanna have a place to store your junk, okay?"

"I can't believe you settled down. I thought you were all about the wandering, the adventure!"

"Augh, you make it all sound really good again when you put it like that." Nell admitted. "Between you and me, I'm worried that I won't, like, fit in here. So many rad builds, awesome people. I really want to make, like, a good first impression, you know? Which, I thought might be helped if my front yard had a statue by the one and only Jesse?"

"Not sure if I have time, but I'll see what I can do." Jesse said.

"Hey, hey, hey! This is gonna be so cool." Nell exclaimed. "Scoop up that clay over there and let's get to business!"

Jesse scooped up the clay before returning to the blank canvas.

"Ah, a blank canvas!" Jesse commented.

Jesse spent the next few minutes building some type of statue. He didn't know what he was building exactly, but he liked it.

"That is some sweet work, Noice!" Nell commented, she grabbed Jesse and pulled him into a hug. "Ah, Jesse dude! Thanks!"

"It was my pleasure!" Jesse responded.

"Well, it is an honor, mi amigo, and don't be a stranger, okay?"

"Well, she is a… fascinating woman, isn't she?" Radar remarked. "Very free-spirited."

"Heh, yeah." Jesse agreed. "Kind of reminds me of Petra back in her early days. Speaking of whom, you said she's waiting for me at the-"

"-Mineshaft. Mmhm." Radar finished.

A puppy dog got Jesse's attention as it barked and ran right around him. Looking up, Jesse saw that it belonged to StacyPlays and StampyCat.

"Oh, wink! Get back here! Leave Jesse alone!" Stacy scolded.

"Hello there Jesse! I was wondering when we'd run into each other!" Stampy greeted.

"Thought we'd give this town of yours a try." Stacy said.

"It's quite lovely!" Stampy commented.

"Yeah, and I can't believe how many people are here!"

Wink was still running around Jesse, barking happily.

"Well, it's so great to see you! We need to hang out!" Jesse said.

"That sounds wonderful!"

"Yeah, totally!" Stampy agreed.

Radar approached them.

"Radar, this is Stacy Plays and Stampy Cat." Jesse introduced.

"Oh, Wink! Here, Jesse. Give him a bone and he'll calm right down." Stacy said, handing Jesse a handful of bones. Jesse offered one to Wink.

"Here, Wink. Nice tasty bone?"

Wink took it.

"Aww, see? He likes you."

"Ha, yeah! You want the rest of these back?" Jesse asked.

"Nah, hang onto them, I've got TONS. You never know when you're gonna need to tame a wolf." Stacy pointed out.

"Well, thanks."

"I imagine you're terribly busy, so we won't keep you. But you should come and see what we're working on because, it's pretty cool." Stampy suggested.

"Yeah, what Stampy said. Anyway, our place is by the gate, next to your friend Fred's house." Stacy pointed.

"Will do! See you guys later!" Jesse responded.

Jesse approached a dark-skinned citizen standing by herself. She seemed to brighten upon seeing him.

"Oh wow. It is really you." She exclaimed. She pointed towards the Creeper build. "My friend told me this was a recreation of your first big build, way back before the Wither-Storm, before all that stuff. Is it true? You have got to tell me more about it."

"Ha, alright. I love talking about the good old days." Jesse said.

"Yes! I'm just so curious, where does your inspiration come from?" The citizen questioned. "Was there a deeper meaning? Oh, or like, a critique of the world maybe?"

"I draw my inspiration from my friends." Jesse answered. "We were a team. It was a group effort."

"Oh, classic Jesse. I love that. The build I really wish I got to see was what you built to take down the Wither-Storm. Now that must have been terrifying."

"Well, it's like I said about drawing inspiration from my friends, we all gave each other strength during that fight." Jesse said.

"Amazing. I hope I have friends like that someday." She responded. "Oh and thank you so much for taking the time to stop and talk to me."

"Not a problem. I'll see you around alright?"

Jesse approached Reuben's memorial next.

"Best pig that ever lived. Miss ya buddy." Jesse said.

"Aw man, I wish I could've met Reuben. He sounded amazing." Radar commented. "I read Lukas's book the other day. That chapter about Reuben almost got me crying right there."

"He was a hero." Jesse said. "Saved everybody. He'd be really excited about how great Beacontown is now."

"I bet that's totally true." Radar agreed.

A male citizen approached Jesse.

"OHMYGOSH IT'S YOU!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, yep. It's me. What are you doing here?" Jesse asked.

"Oh, wow. This is actually perfect. For Founding Day this year, we're picking a pig to play the part of Reuben on the float!" The citizen explained.

"Oh, that's really cute." Radar remarked.

"Right? Would you be interested in, maybe helping me pick? I mean, who knows Reuben better than Jesse, right?"

"I would love to, seems like the least I could do." Jesse said.

The male citizen jumped up and down in excitement.

"Oh that's fantastic! Thank you so much."

"Alright, let's see 'em!"

"Okay piggies. Show Jesse your good side!" The citizen instructed. He pointed to the first pig.

"That's Estaban." He said. He moved to the second pig. "Smushy Cutecheeks."

He stopped at the final pig.

"And Lord von Thunderpork VI. Tried my best to bring the pigs that felt the most, Reuben-esque. Hm?"

"My vote is for Lord von Thunderpork VI. No question. Look at the regal little guy." Jesse decided.

"Ah! I knew that's who you'd choose. Fantastic!" The citizen coddled the pig. "Congratulations!"

He stood up.

"Thank you, Jesse. I'm going to go get him ready, and I'll see you at the celebration." He said.

"Bye!" Radar waved.

Jesse approached a group of people, one of them bouncing on a slime block.

"JESSE! Well, hey, hey, look who it is!" The citizen on the right exclaimed.

"Jesse! Hey!" The citizen on the left greeted.

"Hey guys! What are you doing?" Jesse asked.

"Glad you asked! We're working on a new game for Founding Day that I guarantee you is going to be all the rage this year; Slime Diving!" The citizen on the right showcased. "Wanna give us a hand finishing it up? I'll letcha take the first dive. Bob designed the schematics, didn'tcha Bob?"

"That sounds awesome, let's do it." Jesse agreed.

"We're going to be diving off this excellent pagoda Bob designed, but we can't decide what material to use." The male citizen explained.

Bob jumped off the Slime Blocks and they pulled out different blocks. The female was holding stone, Bob was holding wood while the Male on the right was holding Pink Wool.

"I'm just conflicted because I like all of them." Bob admitted.

Jesse decided on Pink Wool.

"Nothing prettier than pink wool! Let's get to it." Jesse said.

The four of them built the tower with Pink Wool, leaving Jesse at the top.

"Nice, that turned out great!" Jesse remarked.

"And just like I promised, you can take the first dive!" The male citizen said.

Jesse did a belly flop on the slime blocks, flipped over and landed on his feet on the ground.

"H-ha woo! TA DA! Thanks everyone!"

"Jesse! That was INCREDIBLE!" Radar remarked.

"Seriously, amazing dive." The male citizen agreed. "Thank you for that, thank you for the help before."

"No problem. Look, my friend's waiting, so I gotta run, but nice work!"

Jesse saw another citizen staring at something in the distance.

"Whatcha looking at, Citizen?" Jesse asked.

"Oh! Jesse, wow. Hi." The citizen greeted. "Just checking out my latest build from the ground. I'm worried it doesn't, y'know, 'fit'."

The citizen pointed to a floating Hamburger shaped build.

"Is it putting the right energy into the universe?"

"'Doesn't fit?' I think it's perfect!" Jesse commented.

"Oh! Wow, maybe I'm overthinking this." The citizen said.

"Yeah! I love it!" Jesse repeated.

"This just gives me even more to think about!"

"Uh, okay then. We'll just leave you to it." Jesse said. He turned towards Radar. "Is he okay?"

"No, I don't think so." Radar responded.

Jesse approached Stampy and Stacy in-front of their house next, who were in an argument.

"I am telling you, Stampy. It needs to be pumpkin pie." Stacy said.

"But cake is the best!" Stampy reasoned. "And I would know, I have it every morning for breakfast!"

"There some sort of problem here guys?" Jesse asked.

"Hello Jesse!" Stampy greeted. "We heard about this Founding Day celebration of yours and thought we'd make some sweets!"

"Yeah, and now I'm trying to convince Mr. Stampy here to make the right decision and pick pumpkin pie." Stacy added.

"There you go with those leading presentations again." Stampy groaned.

"Just, not everyone likes cake, Stampy." Stacy pointed out.

"Oh, and pumpkin pie is the universally loved food? I think not." Stampy retorted.

"Well, I'm all about cake, personally. Love that stuff." Jesse said.

"Ha, ha! Yes! Exactly my stance!" Stampy agreed.

"You don't need to rub it in." Stacy responded, crossing her arms. She reached into her pockets and shoved a mountain of ingredients into Jesse's arms. "Here, you should just take the ingredients and decide for us."

"Yes, I fear we're gonna be debating in circles all day otherwise, heh." Stampy agreed.

Jesse turned around and was almost startled when he saw Fred standing right behind him.

"Hello, Jesse." Fred greeted. "Couldn't help but overhear your conversation with Stacy and Stampy over there. I was thinking, there could be extra eggs and stuff around town. I bet you could find enough to do both cake AND pie."

"Hmm, don't have a ton of time. But I bet they'd be super surprised by that." Jesse agreed.

"Well, I'm not doing anything." Fred said. "Tell you what, you go onto the mines and do whatever you were planning to do in the mines with Petra, while I handle this cake and pie business."

"Oh, perfect!" Jesse responded, handing the ingredients to Fred. "Thanks so much."

Fred, Radar and Jesse went to the entrance of the mines, Jesse high-fiving a fan on the way.

"And here we are at the mines!" Radar announced.

"Nice, thanks for walking with me." Jesse replied.

"Oh no, thank YOU Jesse. It was a pleasure watching you work, it truly was." Radar corrected.

Jesse pulled out an Iron Chest-plate.

"Stopping to help all those people, helping them prepare for Founding Day, very inspiring." Radar continued as Jesse put the chest-plate on.

Fred snorted.

"Iron? Really, Jesse?" Fred deadpanned. "You know Petra's going to make fun of you for wearing that instead of your real armor."

Jesse rolled his eyes and approached the mine entrance.

"I'll, uh, keep watch on things here while you're gone." Radar said. "Off doing your, adventure things."

"Just stop worrying so much, would ya?" Jesse suggested.

"'Stop, Stop worring.' I can do that. It's so simple. Just 'stop worrying.'" Radar said, trying to make sense of it. "Am I oversimplifying it? I-I'll work on it."

Jesse shrugged before continuing on down into the mines.

"BYE! HAVE A GOOD TIME!" Radar waved.

"Don't I always?" Jesse responded.

"C'mon, Radar. Let's see if we can get Stacy and Stampy both Cake and Pie." Fred suggested.

"That sounds awesome." Radar agreed.

Author's Notes: So, that's the first chapter done.

The reason why I am able to update so fast is because I pre-write every chapter of an episode before I start posting it. Also, I had already started writing this before I posted the final chapters of 'Fred: Into the Multiverse.'

Like it? Review. Don't like it, look up something else.

More to follow.
