A/N Hey everyone! I'm sooo sorry for not being able to upload another chapter. My parents took away my laptop for the summer, probably because I got a C in Math. Anyways, I got it back now so I can do "school work", so hopefully I can upload more often than I have been. Enough waiting, enjoy!

Chapter 4: Let's Get A Weapon!

I felt someone shaking me. "Wake up Jason!" Groaning, I opened my eyes a little bit. Sunlight poured in through windows, lighting up my bag. "Are you awake yet?" I rolled over and saw Skelly on my bed, leaning over me. She had her hands next to my head and was looking at me. "Wha- what are you doing in here?!" I asked. She smiled down at me. "Ahh! So you are awake!" she hugged me tightly. "Skelly, what the hell are you doing? Get off me!" I felt her chest on my stomach and my face went red. She looked up at me with a confused look on her face. "It's the morning ritual. I already gave Cupa her hug." I gently pushed her off of me. "Yeah, well, I'd rather not take part in that. Thanks for the offer though." She pouted, but got off of my bed and walked towards the doorway. "If you're hungry, breakfast is on the table."

I rolled out of bed and stood up. The smell of pancakes and bacon came wafting up the stairway and into my room. My stomach growled. Alright, I guess I could get something to eat. I put on a black hoodie and black pants, then headed downstairs towards the kitchen. I walked in through the doorway and saw Skelly and Cupa sitting at the table. Cupa looked over at me and motioned for me to come over and join them at the table. I pulled out a chair and sat down in it across the table from the two of them. A skeleton came over to me and placed a plate in front of me with my breakfast on it. She walked away before I could even say thanks.

I started to eat my meal. "Jason, today we are going to do some training. Are you up to that?" Skelly said to me around a mouthful of pancakes. I looked at her and shrugged. "I guess I have to. I know you weren't going to give me a choice either." "You learn fast, Jason. Maybe when we are done today, you could be smart enough to not refuse an invitation into my room." I gagged on my food, and dropped my fork. "Okay, can you not start that up today? I don't think I want that thought in my head while I'm trying to eat."

We made plans for later on in the day, so we went off to get ready. Skelly went to go shower, and Cupa went outside. I went back up to my room. We had an hour before training started, so I wanted to get a little bit more sleep. I set my alarm to wake me up in 45 minutes, and closed my eyes. I laid there for a while, but sleep did not come to me. Giving up after 10 minutes of trying to sleep, I got up and left my room. I walked around the house for awhile, trying to see if there was any other way out of the house besides through the front door. Walking through the hallway, I found a vent on the side of the wall. Strange, I didn't remember that last night. Upon closer inspection, the grate seemed to have been taken off and put back on. Frowning, I moved it to the side and crawled in.

Inside the ventilation, there were hand prints and what looked to be the marks of someone's knees in the dust. I decided to follow wherever the tracks lead to. The vents were long, twisty and cramped. I had to remember where I came from, or I would become lost. Left, left. There was a little air vent, and I looked through it. I saw the kitchen, and watched for a minute as skeletons walked around, preparing lunch. Right, left. Another air vent. This one was above another hallway, but I didn't see anyone in it. Right, right. A third air vent. The air became heavy and moist, and I heard the sound of water running. The trails ended here, and I looked down through the grate in the ceiling. I was above the shower rooms. More specifically, the woman's shower rooms. I peeked back in, and saw that Skelly was still showering. I started to blush, then decided that this wasn't right. I had to leave now or else I didn't think I could go away.

I tried to turn around, but the vent was too cramped. I almost got myself stuck trying to just turn around. How the hell did anyone who came up here get out? I tried again, but failed once more. I decided that I would have to crawl across and find somewhere else that I could escape from. I started to crawl across, but I put too much weight on the grate. With a pop and a screech, the thing gave way from underneath me. I was falling down, directly above a bathing Skelly. Oh shit oh shit oh shit. She turned her head up in surprise as the grate crashed next to her, and saw me falling down. I crashed landed right next to her on the floor, banging my chin on the ground.

I sat up and covered my eyes as quickly as I could. "Jason, what the hell were you doing up there?!" Skelly screeched. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't see a-anything!" I stammered out to her. I scooted away from her on the marble floor, and hit the wall directly below the shower head. I was getting soaked by water. "I can't believe you! I told you that you could see me like this at anytime! Why are you so afraid?" she said angrily. Wait, what? "Dammit Jason, open your eyes and look at me!"

I opened my eyes and tried to look her directly in the eyes. Skelly stood in front of me with her hands on her hips. She was leaning forward, and her breasts were hanging in front of me. Her eyes looked serious, but she had a hint of a smile on her face. I put my hand up to my chin because it had started tot throb. "Like I said before, I'm sorry. I was planning on turning back." I said. "I don't care. It's flattering that you chose to spend your time looking at me..." She let the end of her sentence trail off. Skelly came closer to me. "Jason, why are you showering in your clothes? That seems pretty silly to me." She sat in front of me, almost in my lap and put her hands on my chest. Sliding her hands down to the hem of my hoodie, she looked up and grinned. "If you want, I can help you get you more appropriately dressed."

My face was burning at this point, and I felt all hot and bothered. I wanted this, but I also didn't at the same time. It didn't seem right. To me, it felt like Cupa all over again, but I couldn't tell Skelly that. I would have to find some other way out of this. "Skelly, I don't think this is a good idea." I said to her. She frowned, but grinned again when she looked down. "You say you don't want it, but you're body tells me otherwise..." Skelly ran her hands down towards my crotch. She started to rub her "area of interest" and I started to squirm. "Ahh - Skelly, please don't do that – uhh." Skelly grinned at me. "why not? You seem to be enjoying it so immensely. I'm doing you a favor by not stopping." She took my hand with one hand, and placed mine on her breast. Skelly looked me in the eyes. "no one will have to know. It could be our secret."

I finally found myself and resisted. "No Skelly. Not now. I don't feel like this is something that we should be doing yet." I took my hand off of her chest and pushed myself up. I looked down at her while she was still sitting on the floor. "Maybe at some other time we can do this, but not right now." I offered my hand for her to get up, and she took it. Skelly looked into my eyes again. "I just want to be with you. I know I haven't known you for long, but it feels so right to me. Can we try at some point?" Well, fuck. Not wanting to hurt her feelings, I nodded. "Maybe we could at some point. But not right now, ok?" She smiled and hugged me. "Thank you Jason. I would like that very much."

Thinking about where I was, I started to feel heat go up to my face again. "Umm... I'm going to go back to my room and change now... can you get off of me?" I asked her. Skelly started to blush. "Oh, sorry." She let go of me and stepped back into the stream of water. I shoved my hands into the pockets on my hoodie, and looked at the ground. I shuffled my feet, then walked out. Damn, if Cupa finds out about this, I don't really know what to do. I sighed to myself. Getting worked up about little problems was one of the things that I did best it seemed.

-Time Skip-

I had made it back to my room, and to my dismay I found that I only had one more change of clothes before I would have to walk around with a towel wrapped around my waist. I hung up my wet clothes outside of the window, and started to get dressed again. Someone knocked on the door, then came in before I could answer it. It was Cupa. She saw me with just my boxers on and turned bright red. "Cupa! What are you doing in here!?" I yelled. She had startled me, and I was scarcely dressed. Cupa covered her eyes and turned around. "I'm sorry Jason! I was just coming up to tell you that it's time for your training. I didn't know you were still getting dressed." I quickly finished getting dressed before I answered her. "I'm dressed. You can turn around now if you want." Cupa turned around, but averted her eyes and wouldn't look directly at me. She was still a little red. "Thanks for telling me. Where are we meeting again?" After all that had happened already, I kinda forgot the important things. Like where to be and at what time. I'm so smart, right?

Cupa rolled her eyes and looked at me seriously. "Jason, if you want to get back home, you're going to have to work harder. Your lack of focus is disgusting." I hung my head in shame. "Yeah... I know. I'll work harder. Sorry." Her gaze softened. "It's in the courtyard. Apparently, Skelly has the tools that will decide what kind of trainings you will undergo. Better see you in the next 5 minutes, or you're in trouble." With that; Cupa walked out the door. I finished getting dressed, then went the same way she did.

I passed by the kitchen, then the living room, and made my way outside to the courtyard. As I opened the door, I was greeted by a blast of warm air. I looked up in the sky, and saw the sun shining directly above me. There wasn't a cloud in the sky today; nothing to keep the heat trapped in the sky. I looked back down to the ground, and saw that a path led from the door to where I was supposed to go. I followed it, and within 5 minutes, I came upon Cupa and Skelly standing in a clearing. They both had their arms crossed, and were looking directly at me.

Skelly was the first to say anything. "You're late. Very disappointing." I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Cupa gave me the same lecture. Can we get this started already?" Skelly narrowed her eyes and stared at me. "Don't mouth off to me, Jason. Come over here and sit in front of me." I followed her instructions, and ended up with Cupa on my left. I put my hands in my lap like the other two had. "Alright. Now, close your eyes. I closed my eyes, and felt her take my hands."Control your breathing and lose yourself inside your head..."

I don't know exactly how long it was, but when I came to, the sun was coming down on the horizon. Skelly let go of my hands. "So... how did I do?" I asked. She shrugged. "I don't know yet. This was just to see what kind of strategy you should go for in combat. What I think you should do is take a stealthy approach on everything in order to have a chance." Skelly said matter-of-factly. I grinned back at her. "I think I can do that."

Skelly stood up and brushed off her legs. "Alright Jason. You need to think of a weapon that you could use stealthily, and concentrate on it's image. Think about how it would feel in your hands. The texture, color, everything." I furrowed my brow as I thought of something I could use. I thought about a silenced sniper rifle from my world, and decided that I could use that. I squeezed my eyes shut, and thought about it.

After about a minute, I gave up. "I'm thinking of a weapon from my world. Would that count?" Skelly looked puzzled for a minute. "What do you mean, "your world?"" I face palmed and looked at her. "I forgot to tell you. Sorry, the CREATOR OF THIS STORY IS MORE LIKE IT!" I looked up into the sky, and felt some kind of invisible force thwack me on the head. Grumbling, I looked down to the ground. "Well, you know how I'm supposed to go back to my real home after this is all good and done? My home isn't a part of Minecraftia, it's like a parallel universe kinda thing." Skelly shook her head. "Too complicated. I don't like complicated. Tell me later when you can boil it down to something simpler." Cupa just sighed and rubbed the back of her head.

"Whatever. Since you can't get anything from... wherever the heck you're from, try to get something from this world." I closed my eyes, and decided to follow Skelly's orders. I thought about what else I could use that's ranged, and realized that all this world has to offer would be a bow. I concentrated on the image of a bow so black that it seemed to suck the light out of the air. Flames would be cool too. Yeah, fire. I like fire. When I felt something in my hands, I opened my eyes. In my hands was the bow that I had imagined. It was super black, and made me uneasy when I looked at it for too long. I grinned, and looked up to see what the other two what they thought about it, when I started to feel a burn on my hand. I looked back down and realized that the flames I had thought of were there as well.

I yelped and dropped the bow on the ground. Holding my hand, I started frantically stomping on the bow. "Ahh! Put it out! The burn! Kill it!" When I thought that it should be dead, I looked at the ground. There was a black burn mark where I had dropped it, but no bow. Dafuq? Quizzically, I looked up at Skelly and Cupa. They both had their hands across their foreheads and were looking at me. Skelly was the first to say anything. "You dip, the bow is basically a thought. When it becomes detached from the source of their existence, they disappear within a few seconds. It prevents anyone else from taking your weapon and using it against you. You've been stomping nothing for the past fifteen seconds."

I fell onto my back and groaned. "That's smart. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Cupa spoke up. "We kinda forgot. No big deal." I slapped my forehead, and flinched when my burned palm hit skin. Jerking my hand away, I squinted my eyes and looked up at her. "No big deal? That's a huge thing!" Cupa shrugged and put her hands on her hips. "Yeah, well, you forgot to tell us where you were from!" "No, I didn't. The creator of the story did." I felt the familiar thwacking on my head and clamped my mouth shut. Cupa shot her jaw forward and gave me a smug look. Getting up onto my feet, I started to walk back towards the house. "Whatever. Let's just go back home. I think I'm done for today."

-Time Skip-

I laid down in my bed and pulled the covers over my head. Closing my eyes, I turned over on my side. "Well, aren't you cute looking when you try to sleep." I shot my eyes open and saw Skelly inches away from my face, in my bed. I pushed my hand out towards her before I realized what I was doing. I meant to put my hand on her chest and push her away, but… that didn't really end up the way I thought it would. I put my hand on her breast, and squeezed it on accident. Skelly grinned at me. "Finally getting in the mood?" she pulled the covers down a bit and tried to climb up on top of me.

"No no no! That's not what I meant to do! I was trying to push you out of my bed, I swear! I didn't mean for it to end up like this!" Skelly was unconvinced. "Sure. Now be a good boy and let me do this." She put her hands on my chest and started to rub down to my sides. I managed to push her off, and before she could get back into my bed, I pulled the covers over my head and curled up in a ball. "Goodnight Skelly! Go to your room!" Skelly growled, but gave up her attack. She walked towards the door. I peeked through a hole in my defences and saw her turn around and look into my eyes. The hair on the back of my neck rose sightly. She stuck her tongue out a little bit and put her finger up underneath her eye, then pulled down just a tad bit. "I won't give up just yet. Sleep well." She then walked out of my room and closed the door, cutting off all the light.

A/N: Ahhh... I love the smell of a new chapter. I'm torn between the idea of keeping my lemony thoughts stored away in my head for now or letting them loose. I don't know. I think they should be kept in for now. Anyways, like I had said earlier, I'm really sorry I wasn't able to update the story. I won't be abandoning it ever, so if I don't update it's cuz... I can't :P I intend on seeing this to the end (whenever THAT may be). Hope you all enjoyed, and make sure you pet your... snake. Yeah, cuz we all have snakes...
