Ep. 4: Jerome
"Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back".
(Halfway through the morning and into the early afternoon, Sky had cut his walk around the city short and returned to his home. He was still confused on why Deadlox accused him of something he didn't do. At the home, he is seated at the kitchen table, discussing his problem with Dawn).
-Sky:...And then he told me he wasn't my friend anymore. But I barely left the house. I couldn't have done that to him. Besides, I would never do that to a fellow Minecrafter.
-Dawn: Well, you know how Deadlox can be. He can be a little random sometimes.
-Sky: No...I think he actually meant it. I tried calling him several times, but he wouldn't pick up.
-Dawn: Huh...do you think...that someone is impersonating you and trying to ruin your life?
-Sky: That can't be possible! No one in GeoCity have something against me. Plus, I doubt anyone can pull off the looks that I have. What am I gonna do, Dawn?
-Dawn: Well, I guess the best thing you can do is pray that this problem never happens again.
-Sky: I guess...
(Meanwhile, halfway across the suburb in a nearby forest, Jerome is seen stepping out of his treehouse built into an old and thick tree. He stretches out his arms and legs as he overlooks the entire forest. But before he can start the day, he hears the sound of wood being chopped. He looks around to locate the source of the sound. Then, he looks below his treehouse and sees Evil Sky chopping his tree down with an diamond axe. With one more hit, the tree starts leaning to the left and being down Jerome and his treehouse. Leaves fall everywhere as the tree hits the ground with a hard 'thud'. Jerome crawls out of the fallen tree with tears all around his black suit. He looks up and sees Evil Sky standing in front of him, causally leaning against his axe).
-Jerome: Sky!? What did you do that for?
-Evil Sky: Uh...to get some wood, duh! Only a dumbass animal like yourself would know that.
-Jerome: Dude...that's cold.
(Jerome gets to his feet and brushes himself off of the leaves).
-Jerome: Besides, you don't normally come to this part of the forest to gather wood. AND you would use a butter axe to cut down trees.
-Evil Sky: Well, you know what!? Butter is boring to me now. Squids are the things that I'm into now.
(Jerome raises an eyebrow. He was so confused right now. He has known Sky for years now. He would never believe that his buddy would even dare say that he loves squids).
-Jerome: Sky...are you feeling okay? I think you should see someone.
-Evil Sky: What, me? Oh, I'm perfectly fine. Not a thing wrong with me. You, on the other hand, there is definitely something wrong with you. Your face, mostly.
-Jerome: Wha? What's wrong with my face?
-Evil Sky: Well, let's see...it is absolutely ugly, misshaped, and out of order. People will be like 'OMG, WTF IS THAT!? OH WAIT...IT'S YOUR UGLY FACE!'.
-Jerome: Sky, you're being mean.
-Evil Sky: I'm not being mean. I'm just being honest. And before I go, let me just say one last thing. Jerome, you make me want to eat shit every time I see you. So long!
(The evil Minecrafter picks up his tool and simply walks away. Jerome is disgusted at what Sky has told him).
-Jerome: Fine! If that's what you think of me, then I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND ANYMORE!
-Evil Sky: Good! I don't care! I didn't even need a fluffy...or a Chewbaca...or whatever the hell that you are, you walking piece of shit!
(The evil clone disappears from the forest. Jerome growls angrily. Meanwhile, back in Sky and Dawn's house, Sky paces around the house, trying to think of a solution for his situation).
-Sky: Hm...I know! I'll call up Jerome and get him over here.
(Sky pulls out his phone and dials down Jerome's number. He waits for a while until Jerome eventually picks up).
-Sky: Jerome? I need your help.
-Jerome: (angrily) After what you did!? No fucking way!
-Sky: Whoa! Slow down. What did I do?
-Jerome: You know what you did! So, fuck you and goodbye forever!
(The line goes dead. Sky looks bewildered at the device).
-Sky: But I...oh-no...someone is impersonating me and trying to ruin my life. But...who?
