STEVE'S JOURNAL

Day 10

I collected some iron today. I put it in the furnace but I used on all my coal for the torches so I'm using the left over oak planks from building the house. Tomorrow I'll build an iron pickaxe then see what armor I can make, then strategize from there. I need to start a garden to grow food. Ate my last apple for dinner.

I found the weirdest thing when I came up from mining, all the sheep that usually graze between the mine and the house were all missing their wool and the birch tree was missing its bottom block. Weird. I'll cut down the rest of the tree tomorrow then go find a village so I can get food. Now for bed. Good night.

I popped back into my room before he could notice I was gone. I put the birch block I'd collected and pushed it into my fireplace. He wouldn't let me have any netherrack but I make do. I then turned to the task at hand.

Collecting all my wool, I teleported to the bottom of Dragon Tower. I placed the white wool down and picked up a random block then popped myself to the top of tower. I calculated the drop and dropped the obsidian block I had. It fell just like I expected and when I popped back to the bottom my wool was flat.

Good. It worked.

I repeated the process until all my wool was flat. I couldn't help smiling mischievously as I popped back into my room with my flattened wool. I put the wool in my chest.

A pop behind me signaled I'd made it just in time. I popped out of my room and joined him in our living room.

I hugged him. He towered above me, even after growing to almost 2 blocks high, he still towered over me at 3. He hugged me back.

Welcome home I told him.

Thank you. How was your day? He released me and popped over to the table to set down what he brought home.

I recognized the coal ore. Good. How was the Upperworld?

Nice and dark. It wasn't raining today. I was glad he didn't probe my thoughts. If he did, he'd know I already knew that and what I was planning.

What's for dinner? I asked.

He popped away as I popped into my seat. When he popped back he was holding a watermelon.

Ooh. I reached out and punched the cube until it shattered into several slices. Thank you. I pulled down my mask, grabbed a slice of the red and green fruit and took a bite. The juice flowed down my chin.

Your welcome. Purple popped back and forth for the next several minutes bringing things in while I ate. Do you need more fuel thing for yours? He asked as he checked the netherrack in the fireplace.

No.

Let me know if you do. I don't want you taking from the archives.

I will. I finished my third slice of watermelon. I wiped my face then replaced the mask. I then collected what was left of the melon and took it and the seeds I spit out to a chest. I put them away so I could eat them tomorrow.

I popped over to the couch and took a seat next to him. Where did you go today?

To a villiage. That's where the melon came from. They had lots of melons and other food. I was there collecting some of the crops for the archives.

Where are you going tomorrow?

I think to the Snow Biome in the North.

We stared across at the map that was spread across the netherbrick wall. I identified the white area near the top of the map. The map wasn't quite complete yet, some areas were still uncharted but Purple had covered a lot of ground in his years as a Collector.

When will I get to explore? I asked.

For a moment, I couldn't tell what Purple thought. I had to look at him. He was as solid as stone and I couldn't read anything. I turned away and looked back at the map.

Ok I stood to leave. I didn't hold his silence against him. He had a reason not to answer and I would accept that. I'm going to sleep now. I told him, letting him know that I was ok with him not answering.

Ok. He stood too and hugged me. Good night Sheep.

I released him then I popped off back to my room and removed the wood from my fireplace to let it die. I then crawled into my nest and slept.

Le Me - Tada! So let me know what you think in a comment or PM. This is purely a random fic. I have plot for it but if you guys don't like it, I'll keep it to myself. Anyway, review or not, your choice. Peace.
