Author's Note: Just a little headcanon: Nilesy's (or Nellsy's) Best and Greatest Number One Importer and Exporter of Really Good Pools and Pool Accessories is more like a badly-made house, not a one-block-wide shack.

Nellsy looked up at the sky and gulped. It was dark. Very dark. Dangerously dark. Nervously shooting a look behind her in case there was a creeper or some other ungodly denizen of the night stalking her, the poolwoman slowly drew her stone sword.

"I'd better get back to the pool shop," she muttered to herself, nervously.

Turning around, she began walking, at first with a forced calmness, but soon breaking into a run. Casting another frantic look behind her, the poolwoman gulped before picking up her pace. Her belly growled indignantly, but Nellsy ignored it, instead focusing all her efforts on getting back to her shop.

"Dammit dammit dammit," she hissed, her glasses and tie askew as she hastily side-stepped a zombie that lurched out at her from the shadows. Behind her, she was beginning to here the hissing of spiders and the twang of skeletal archer bows, but no telltale hissing yet.

Praying to Score that her luck would hold, Nellsy slashed out blindly with her sword at a particularly bulbous spider, which withdrew, shrieking angrily, green bloody oozing from its eyes.

Nellsy started to feel the toll her sprinting was taking, and was forced to slow down lest she tripped over her own feet. Scared out of her mind, she yelled hotly at some skeletons in a tree, deflecting their arrows with her sword, in an attempt to reduce her fear.

"BUGGER OFF!" she shrieked, before running headfirst into a tree.

Stumbling backwards, rubbing her head and swearing, Nellsy didn't realise that an all too familiar hissing noise was raring up behind her. Not until, of course, the damned creeper blew Nellsy and the tree up, propelling the poolwoman fifty feet forwards.

Before blacking out, Nellsy heard footsteps running up behind her, human or monster she did not know. All she did know was an aching pain, a searing pain, a lot of pain, even more pain, then blissful unconsciousness.


Nilesy opened his eyes. Had it worked? No. No it... well, kind of. It had kind of worked. Kind of.

He was still in a cave, but it was well-lit, and much bigger than the Mistral Forest cave. What really made Nilesy nearly jump back in alarm was that only he appeared to be in the cave.

Where the heck was the rest of the Yogscast?

Nervously, the poolman looked around. Yup, a cave alright. It appeared to be purposefully hollowed out, however, as if someone had stumbled across it and had decided that it would make the perfect storage spot for a giant lopsided interdimensional portal.

Notch, that was a weird sentence.

The poolman decided that exploring was the best course of action right now. Getting up and dusting himself off, Nilesy looked around for the exit. It wasn't hard to locate it, the said exit being right in front of him, but it was always good to rule out any other possibilites.

Gulping, Nilesy the poolman ventured out into a world familiar and yet unfamiliar to him.


It had been a while since Nilesy had started walking aimlessly around, punching wood and making basic tools. He felt slightly humiliated as he smashed his fist into the bark of the tree, but what could you do?

Looking around, he realised with a shock that it was getting dark. Shivering slightly, he began walking, where he did not know. Knocking on a tree as he passed, he muttered to himself, "Please let me find someone..."

Nilesy continued to walk aimlessly around, raising a wooden sword nervously. It was quiet tonight... too quiet.

"Where are all the monsters...?" demanded Nilesy of thin air.

Of course, he got no answer. Squaring his shoulders, the poolman stalked on. However, he had not taken two steps before he heard it... a high-pitched female scream that sounded a lot like, "BUGGER OFF!"

Another person! Shrugging off his fear, Nilesy raised his sword and ran towards the sound of the voice.

Then he heard an explosion.

Emerging out of the cover of the trees, Nilesy registered four things in quick succession: the unconscious woman beneath a tree, the approaching mobs, the large crater in the ground, and the large amount of blood.

Nilesy reacted on pure instinct. The first zombie went down without knowing what hit it. The second, third and fourth were soon decapitated by a few slashes. Skeletons collapsed at the blade of Nilesy's wooden sword. Spiders hissed and spat, one of them missing an eye. Nilesy took the other eye, and beheaded the creature. He stabbed creepers in the back and ran away to kill more mobs before they could blow him up.

Pivoting on one foot, Nilesy felt his bloodstained sword, and realised that it was close to breaking. Swearing at the weakness of wooden tools, he rushed towards the briefly visible woman and hauled her up. Skirting around the crater with difficulty, he fought off the approaching mobs with one hand, the other propping the woman up.

Swearing a lot now, Nilesy turned and headed for the jungle. Hopefully, they'd have more shelter in there at least.


Nellsy groaned. She stirred, and felt a sharp pain in about every part of her body. Opening her eyes with difficulty, she saw that the world was blurry and swirling a bit. Panicked, she tried to sit up, but felt a fresh wave of pain course through her and fell back onto the bed she was lying on.

Her comprehension catching up with her senses, Nellsy groped to her side and found her glasses, which she slipped on. The world came into focus, and she saw that she was in her pool shop.

Sitting up - slowly this time - and looking around, she saw a few familiar things: the chest, the pane-free windows, the comforting wooden walls. She heard the soft crackling of torches, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now... how in Score's name had she gotten here?
