Jason groaned as he woke up on something soft, it felt like grass. He was lying on his back and ached all over.
Jason looked up and saw square-shaped clouds. He slowly sat up and looked around him. His vision was blurred and he couldn't see things clearly, but it looked like everything was...blocky. Jason also noticed that his vision seemed to have some sort of orange tint in it, not huge, but enough to notice it.
He looked to his right and gasped.
There was a limp shape lying on the ground a couple feet away from him.
He gulped and slowly crawled towards it. As he got closer, Jason was able to see that figure better. It looked like Dan's skin, but it looked so real.
I wonder if... He thought, poking his face with his finger.
"Dan?" He nervously asked.
The figure groaned, and his eyes slowly opened. They landed on him and widened. He screamed and jumped back, crawling away from Jason.
Jason quickly held his hands up. "Whoa, whoa Dan, calm down it's me!"
He stopped, and looked at Jason weirdly. "Jason? Is that you?" he stuttered.
Jason walked over to him, and helped him up. "Yeah, it's me, Dan. Why would you think it wasn't?" Dan looked at him with more surprise.
"Jason, you look like your Minecraft skin."
"WHAT?!"
Jason looked down at his hands. They were covered in some sort of blue fabric in the shape of gloves and he saw his fingers were now square shaped. The fabric had other pieces of metal of the same color over it. He looked at the rest of him. It all looked like his Minecraft skin. Jason stood in shock for a few moments before another thought entered his mind.
His skin didn't have a face.
Jason slowly lifted his hands to his face and saw them stop a few inches in front of him, blocked off by the tinted glass. He felt around for a latch, and unhooked the helmet from his face and slowly lifted it off.
He looked at Dan. "Do I really have a chicken head?" He asked.
Dan stared and shook his head. "No, you actually look like the real you. You have your blue eyes and hair still. It's just…"
"Looks like Minecraft?" Jason finished. He nodded. Jason looked at Dan's skin more closely.
Dan looked just like his skin. He was wearing a black hat with a white pixelated "Y" mark on the front and on the sides, a black shirt with a yellow and green tie that went down to his waist, and black and white striped sleeves and pants. He had blue-green eyes and wild brown hair that poked out from under the hat and a matching brown beard.
"You look like your skin too."
"I do?"
"Yeah," Jason said. "You even got the beard." Dan looked down himself, and back at Jason.
"Whoa, this is super weird. Jason, what's going on?"
"I don't know, but... doesn't this seem familiar to you?" Jason asked him, tucking his helmet under his sleeve. Dan looked around at the trees and pond that was near them.
"Yeah, is this...Minecraft?"
"I think it is." Jason replied. He turned to Dan. "But how is this even possible?"
Dan shrugged in response. "I don't know, but maybe we can-"
The two got cut off by a scream that sounded not that far off.
"AAAHHH!"
Dan and Jason looked at each other and spoke at the same time
"Adam?"
Jason turned and ran in the direction of the scream with Dan following. They knew that scream anywhere.
They came into another clearing and saw someone kneeling over a figure on the ground. The person was wearing a gray and black outfit, ruby red boots and a golden medallion that had a glowing purple stone in the center. He had messy brown hair and dark sunglasses.
"Adam?" Jason asked as he cautiously stepped closer. The figure looked at Jason and a look of shock went over his face.
"Jason, is that you?" He asked and Jason immediately recognized it as Adam's voice. "Why do you look like your skin?"
Dan walked over from behind Jason. "I think we can ask you the same thing, Adam."
Adam looked down and gave a quiet gasp as he took in his appearance. "What the Nether?"
His head shot up and he covered his mouth. "Did I seriously just say that?"
Jason and Dan's eyes widened. "Oh my Notch…" Jason breathed before widening his eyes. "What the heck? Why are we talking like this?"
Adam thought for a moment. "It sounds like the lingo people use in…Minecraft." Adam's eyes widened and they locked with Dan's and Jason's.
"Are we…?" He started to ask but trailed off.
"I think we are," Dan said as he helped Adam up.
"But why'd you scream?" Jason asked. "We heard you over there and that's how we found you, but…why?"
Adam turned to the figure on the ground and Jason and Dan took their first real look at the figure and gasped.
A bacca in a suit was lying on the ground. He looked just like Jerome's skin except it looked a lot more real. He had the black suit on along with the red tie. He had brown fur that seemed to cover his whole body, and he wasn't wearing shoes. He also had two small pointed teeth that stuck out of his mouth and his eyes were closed, though they could imagine they were black like his skin.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
He's breathing, but I don't know when he'll wake up, I'm no doctor.
Jerome recognized that voice... was that Dan? He slowly opened his eyes and noticed everything seemed fuzzy and out of focus. He groaned, and slowly sat up.
Jerome turned and saw three odd figures standing around him. They were all shaped like a Minecraft skin. Their arms and legs were long rectangles, and their heads were squares. One looked like a blue astronaut, one looked like an oddly dressed caveman, and the other looked like a guy wearing sunglasses and a gray and black outfit.
Now that he thought about it, they all looked like Jason, Dan, and Adam's person who looked like Adam stepped closer to him.
"Jerome?" he asked. Jerome's eyes widened. That voice... it is Adam!
"Adam, is that you?"
Adam nodded, and turned to the other two people. Jerome glanced at the two who looked like Dan and Jason.
"Jason? Dan?"
They both nodded in understanding while Dan stepped over and helped him up. "Are you alright, Jerome?" He asked.
Jerome turned to him puzzled. "Yeah, I'm fine…Why wouldn't I be?"
Jason walked over to a pond, and gestured for him to come over. "I think you should see this, Jerome."
Jerome slowly approached the pond and looked over the edge and nearly gasped as he took in his appearance like Adam did. "What the…?"
Jerome's head shot up and looked at the others.
"Are we in Minecraft?" Jerome asked.
"I'm not quite sure, but I think we are. I mean, what else has trees that look like this?" Jason said, gesturing to the forest around them.
Dan covered his head in his hands. "Okay, someone pinch me, I must be dreaming…" He yelped as Jerome pinched his arm. He shot Jerome a glare who only shrugged sheepishly.
"What? You asked." Jerome said, a smile curling at his lips.
Adam glanced around. "Okay, so this isn't a dream, we're in Minecraft, and we all look like our skins, and the sun is starting to go down."
"Wait, what?" Everyone asked, snapping their heads towards Adam.
He pointed at the sun, which was starting to set.
"Crud..." said Dan. "What do we do?"
Jerome walked over to a tree. "Well, I guess we should get wood." Jason went over to the tree after him.
"You sure, Jerome, I mean, what if you break your wrist or something?" He just shrugged, and raised his fist. He held his breath and swung his hand straight into the tree, waiting for immense pain, but was surprised as it didn't hurt at all, no broken bones or anything.
Sure enough, he got a piece of wood in a matter of seconds. After about a minute they had five pieces of raw wood. The guys quickly huddled together with their backs to each other, and watched for a few minutes as nothing came out of the woods.
"Maybe the world we're in is on peaceful?" Dan asked. Jason looked at the moon. It wasn't that high up, but we could still see it, and it was definitely dark enough for mobs to spawn. Adam looked at all of them. "I guess we build a fire, then?" The small group nodded, and got to work.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yay, they're in Minecraft now! Now the real adventure can begin! Onto the next chapter! *jumps onto nyan cat and flies off into the sunset*
