Ch 2 The Story Of The 5 Adventurers

Skylar, Bacca, Shadow, JB, Ward

Chapter 2

Chloe's POV

I wish Skylar didn't have to be so mean to me. It's not like I'm the one who killed her kids or anything. Although… I can see why she doesn't trust new people… I wish there was something I could do…

"Shadow…?"

"What?"

"How can I earn Skylar's trust?"

"Well… we all have a funny side… try and think of something funny.. Also she likes Minecraft YouTubers, like Skydoesminecraft and Deadlox. She also like regular YouTubers like Markiplier and Yami and Pewdiepie. Use references to them. Always call Gold 'Budder'. She hates when it's called Gold." Shadow explains.

"Ok… what else?" I ask.

"Just try those for now, see how that goes."

"Ok" I say as I start to think about what it would be like to earn her trust.

Bacca's POV

"I can't wait to get that stupid Egg… Then we can take down Mj and just be a family… not a team."

"I know… but we have no idea where it is. Plus that girl Chloe… I still think that she's a spy or something." Skylar said.

"True, but you never know. So… umm… when this IS over with… wanna take me up on that offer for kids again…?" I ask, super nervous.

Smiling and blushing, Skylar responds "Yea… I'd like that. But I'm so scared that… history would repeat…"

"I'm scared of that too… But maybe it won't happen again… you know? we could be a family again… A family of 7 instead of 5, like how it's supposed to be…" I say.

"Yea… I wonder what that girl and Shadow are up to… They just decided to go to a different part of these caves without my say so… I mean… it's not like I hate her… I just have trust issues and we've never met her before. I don't want Shadow to repeat me and Mj."

"Well… what if she helps us defeat him? Then would you allow her to stay?" I ask as I start looking for some diamonds.

"Maybe… but she would have to really help us.. I wanna get answers from her first though, before she helps. I wanna see if she'll crack."

"Alight."

We start looking for Shadow and Chloe, it took us a few minutes but then we hear Shadow talking. We follow his voice till we see him and Chloe, Skylar approaches them fairly quickly.

"Hey! I thought I told u to stay near me!"

Shadow looks up at her and frowns, "yeah you did… but you didn't seem to acknowledge us so we came this way."

Skylar makes a "hmph" noise, "Still! I need to know where you are at all times when we are in cave systems!"

"Whatever Sky… -sigh- do you need anything?" Shadow asked, rolling his eyes.

"Hmm… yeah there is. Shadow, you and Bacca go back to the ship. You -Skylar points to Chloe- are coming with me. Bacca, find out where Ward and JB are, have them track me and Chloe incase of enemies that could be near by ok?"

"Ok Sky." and I walk off with Shadow, who starts to look back a few times.

Chloe's POV

Now's my chance to-

"What do you think your doing?" Skylar asks.

"Umm…What?"

"Don't what me! I know your up to something! Who are you working for?! Do you work for Mj?! What's your plans?!"

"Okay, okay… I don't know who this Mj guy is and I don't have any plans… Why do you think I work for him?! You saw what he did to me when Shadow found me! He hurt me badly!"

"Maybe it was all an act! Part of his plan! I'm not as stupid as you think I am."

"Are we interrupting something?" someone from behind Skylar asked.

She turned around and looked at 2 guys. One was holding a plush Pikachu and the other was shifting a lot. They were also holding hands…cute I guess…?

"No… sorry to make you think you had to interrupt JB. Umm… we were just talking. Any news or anything on Mj's location or the egg?"

"Yeah about that umm…" the Pikachu holding one said "We found the egg's location… we also found Mj's location."

"Great! Where are they?"

"The egg has been found in an unknown, unexplored planet to us. We know it's where Mooshrooms live but that'a all we know about it. And Mj is actually closer to us then the egg, he's just one planet over. So that's good and bad for us." JB explained.

"Ok, well, lets go. Don't want him finding us now. JB, Ward, thanks and can you find out who's cooking tonight?"

"Sure!" and they run off…still…holding…hands…

Time Skip - The Ship

Ward's POV

"Hey JB…?"

"Yes Ward?"

"I've got a question…?"

JB looks at me, I haven't been my normal self lately and he was worried, I could tell. "What's wrong? What is it?"

"U-umm… What would you say if I told you umm…" I mumble something, though I don't think JB heard it.

"I'm sorry, what was that? I didn't hear you." JB said. I repeated myself, just a tiny bit louder.

"I still didn't hear you. Ward just speak up ple-"

"I said I like you ok!' I yelled… then started blushing when I realized I had yelled it to him. I look away from him.

"Ok, I like you too… I don't know why you- OH! You mean you…"

"Yeah… I 'like' you like you." I still refused to look at him. He was quiet. "You probably think I'm gross don't you. Go ahead. Make fun of me. Laugh. It wouldn't be the first time." I started to feel the sting of tears in my eyes, I tried to blink them away, but it only got worse.

"Hey… I'm not gonna make fun of to laugh at you… Hey…" I felt him wrap his arms around me, and he nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. I got really confused but leaned back against him nonetheless. "Would you believe me if I said I like you back?"

The need to cry had went away but I couldn't believe what he just said. He…LIKES me?! "Y-you…like me?" I asked, hating how weak I sounded.

"Yes… so much, for so long." I blinked and shifted so I was facing him. He was smiling. We just stared at each other for a few moments before he suddenly pressed out lips together. I felt amazing. IT felt amazing. I slowly closed my eyes and started to kiss him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. He broke the kiss off. We just stood there for moment before-

"DINNER!" Bacca yelled.

"…Way to ruin the moment Bacca…" JB said, making me laugh. We let go of each other only to hold hands and go on to find the others for dinner.

Once we were in the kitchen JB pulled out a chair for me, I sat, he pushed me in. I looked over to see Skylar staring at me and smiling but said nothing. I think she knew something was up.

"So how was your talk with Chloe? She hasn't come out of her room." Shadow said, his head laying on one of his arms as he waits for Bacca to bring the food to the table.

"Same old routine. I ask what her plan is, she acts innocent, someone comes and give me info. Why?"Skylar explains.

"Just wondering…"

Bacca set the food on the table. Cheeseburgers, fries, grilled-cheese.

"…can I eat in my room…?" asked Shadow.

Skylar looked up at him, "I guess." She was acting a lot nicer to him all of the sudden since Chloe's arrival. Shadow got up got his food and left. Skyar looks at me and JB.

"OK, I know you two are hiding something. Wanna tell me?" she was smiling and Bacca looked up but was confused. I looked over at JB who looked at her then me then nodded.

"Yeah umm… actually we do have some news," he said, "Umm… Ward and I are together as an actual couple. Not a troll."

Skylar looked at us, then her smile got even bigger, I could tell she was holding in a fangirl moment.

"Go ahead, fangirl." I told her.

"OMG! That's freaking awesome! I just knew that this would happen! OMG!" she tools a few deep breaths.

"You OK there?" I ask, barely containing a laugh.

"Yeah, I'm good… I might scream again… I don't know yet." Bacca was smirking and JB just stared at her and laughed a little.

Yup, that's Skylar for ya.

Bacca's POV

Ward and JB made Skylar's day apparently. She couldn't stop smiling when we were done eating, all the way to our room. I went over to our bed and sat down on it, Skylar came over and sat in my lap.

"Hey" she said.

"Hey" I said back, smiling.

"We had an interesting day. Shadow finally accepted the fact that Chloe won't stay long. Ward and JB finally confessed to each other their painfully obvious feelings. All that stuff."

"Yeah, been one heck of a day."

"What exactly did you say to Shadow?" Skylar asked.

"I basically just told him that he was lucky to have found his little sister and that he doesn't actually know this Chloe girl and that she could easily hurt any of us. He finally got to the point where he just gave up and gave in. He said he knew that all that was true but he was just in denial till I talked to him."

"Oh. That's good." she said.

She leaned back against me, and rested her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"I wanna do something. I don't wanna wait." she said.

"What do you not wanna wait for? What do you wanna do?"

"Mmm…I wanna do we haven't done in a while." she said.

It took me a second to realize what she was talking about. Then it came to me.

Heck Yeah!

Shadow's POV

-sigh- Why do they have to be right all the time…

"Hey Shadow…?" a voice said.

I turned around and saw Chloe. "Oh, hey Chloe…"

"Umm…did Skylar tell you what she told me…?"

"Yeah…"

"Oh" I looked at her, she was looking down but there was something different about her. I looked closer, her eyes weren't green anymore, they were a gold color… but why?!

"C-Chloe? Umm… are you ok? Your eyes look different…"

"Of course they look different!" I hear another voice, behind me. I turn around and see a figure in the corner of my room, in the shadows.

"Wh-who are you?! Come out here, NOW! What did you do to Chloe?!"

"What did I do…? Well, I only possessed her. And as for who I am," the figure steps out of the shadows, towards me. "Surly to the goddesses you remember me."

I gasp, "Mj-" suddenly there was a gag in my mouth and a blind-fold over my eyes. I tried to struggle but then I felt something hit my head… frying pan? Who put that there…? Then everything went black.
