I made my way home, or, rather, I began my way home, but chasing after Cupa had led me into an area with which I was unfamiliar, and it was dark, I could find my way in the daylight, but not now. I backtracked my way back to where Cupa had tripped, looking for her. After a minute or two(during which I luckily encountered no other monsters), I found her.

"Hey, Cupa!" I must have surprised her, as she jumped up about a meter into the air.

"Steve? Weren't you going home?"

"Funny story about that..."

"You're lost, aren't you?"

"I might be..." Cupa started laughing. "Anyway, I'm going to make a quick shelter here for the night. You said you didn't have any kind of shelter, and you could spend the night at my temporary shelter if you promise not to attack, I could make another room."

"Oh... Okay, I promise I'm not going to hurt you." I already had enough materials in my infinite-seeming pocket to make a two-roomed house out of wooden planks, and placed a wooden door in the front.

"Well it's not much, but it's enough for the night."

"You put that together pretty fast!"

"If you think this is good, you should see my actual house." Once we were inside, I placed torches to add some light. Luckily, torches don't set wood on fire. It was bright enough now that I could see Cupa's face more clearly, she looked tired. Also I could make out her clothing a bit better. The hood of her jacket had the design of a creeper face, how it looks without this strange item. She was wearing gloves on both hands, I couldn't tell if they were leather, plastic, or what they were. She also had no pants, rather, she just wore dark green panties and leggings that came up half way up her thighs. I wouldn't bother describing her outfit, but it has more importance than you, or I, would think at the time. I placed one bed down in the room farther from the door.

"So where would you like to sleep, Cupa?" She started to blush.

"Umm... could I sleep in this room, I'd feel more comfortable farther from the door."

"Oh okay." I grabbed another bed to place in the other room, and walked through the "doorway".

"Oh! Umm... I think I'd feel safer if you slept in this room, also."

"Oh, you sure?"

"Yeah, just don't try doing anything to me while I'm asleep." Her voice sounded tired, as well.

"Don't worry." I walked back into 'our' room and placed the other bed down with 2 meters in between the two. We both got into our beds, mine being the one closer to the door. "Cupa?."

"Yeah?"

"Do you ever think that, maybe we're not real, but just parts of some... virtual simulation on a machine somewhere?" Her response took a while.

"No, Neo." I don't know why she called me that, but I guess I was 'Neo" now.
