So, you all should be happy now that I'm on a writing kick! So...ENJOY!

Chapter 11: Preparations

"Hey Steve." Creeper whispered somewhat loudly. "Are you up?"

"I am now." I groaned.

"Oh good, could you help me get some food? I'm starving." Creeper complained.

"Fine." I finally answered after a couple of seconds of pondering whether I should or not. I decided to help solely because I know how bad his leg was cut. As I was standing up, I heard foot steps below.

"Sounds like the girls are up, eh?" Creeper joked. I simply smiled and nodded, then I helped Creeper up and hobble down the stairs.

"Morning!" Evie chirped.

"Morning." I responded as I sat Creeper down.

"Morning, and where is Niar, if you know." Creeper sounded a little more humble.

"She said that she's harvesting." Evie answered. She gave Creeper and me some milk, but I refused the milk.

"I prefer water." I said. "But I don't need it. I'm fine." Evie sighed. Niar came in quickly.

"Take my melons!" She yelled. I gave her a questionable look. "Here! Take my melons, Steve!" She yelled again. I hesitantly stood up and walked to her. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a few melons. Evie, Creeper and I let out a sigh of relief. Niar ran out again. I took the melons to what looked like a makeshift counter and set them down.

"Such a crazy girl." Creeper commented. I just nodded. Niar came running in again.

"Okay! Time to eat?" Niar yelled.

"Woah, girl. What's up with you?" I quickly asked.

"Nothing, just happy that my melons grew." Niar exclaimed. I shrugged and sat in the empty seat in between Creeper and Evie. Niar reached into her pocket again and pulled out a few more melons and gave one to each of us. "Eat as much as you can." Niar offered. We broke our melons into four to six slices each. I had gotten five. I wasn't too hungry so I ate three. Creeper had gobbled up what he had and I gave him my two extra.

"Thank you." He mouthed to me. I nodded in response.

"So what's the plan for the day?" Evie asked.

"Today we are going to Craftsburg to raise some money before Herobrine takes over too bad." Niar answered.

"Why can't we just tell the people that I'm the person to kill him?" I asked.

"NO!" Evie quickly answered.

"We can't let anyone know what we are doing. Then they will want to help, which will lead to unnecessary deaths. That was the mistake that Jeb made, he let too many know. That resulted in a very large amount of deaths that could have been avoided." Creeper explained.

"Sorry I asked." I mumbled under my breath.

"Any plans, Niar or Evie?" Creeper asked.

"Yes, Creeper and I are going to roleplay as husband and wife. Niar has so nicely made some raggedy looking clothes. Niar, well I'm not too sure what she's doing. She said that she's doing what she does best." Evie started to explain.

"Yep, it's an art I use to get money, food, or anything that I need or want." Niar explained happily.

"Anyway, Steve, you will go around town trying to find odd jobs." Evie finished.

"Any role you want me to play?" I asked. I had done some roleplaying back in my world, so I was fairly good at acting as another person.

"Up to you." Evie answered. I nodded and decided to inspect my looks. First, I felt my face, my simple goatee had changed into a short beard. Then I looked at my clothes, and they were quite tattered.

"Something the matter, Steve?" Creeper asked. I quickly shook my head.

"No." I answered as well. "Just wondering what I looked like." Creeper nodded.

The four of us sat around the table. Niat was the one who broke the silence.

"Don't bother with lunch, if you are offered one take it, but remember, we are playing as very poor people. Also, if we don't get enough money, we can mine for some of the materials." Niar explained. The three of us nodded.

"Creeper, Steve, why don't you two head upstairs and Creeper, put these on." Evie instructed, handing Creeper a set of clothes. I helped Creeper stand up and hobble back up the stairs.

"Any lady back home waiting for you?" I asked Creeper.

"No." Creeper answered sternly. "Why do you ask?"

"I don't know." I confessed. "Just wanted to make a conversation."

"How about a more lighthearted subject? Long story short, I've never had any luck with the ladies." Creeper said as he sat down on his bed. He set the clothes he needed to change into next to him. He took a deep breath and I quickly turned around. "How about you tell me about your world?" Creeper asked.

"I...I don't really don't want to talk about it." I said quietly.

"That's fine, I'm done anyways." Creeper said, and I turned back round. I was surprised at Niar's handiwork. Creeper surely looked like a peasant. I checked my pockets again to see if I had any dirt, sadly I didn't.

"Let's go downstairs, I have an idea." I quickly said. Creeper sighed and we hobbled back downstairs. Evie had also gotten into he clothes.

"Okay, now for the finishing touches." Niar happily exclaimed. She was in a nicer looking version of Evie's outfit. I gawked at Evie. I shook it off, I wouldn't allow myself to be distracted by Evie, I needed to focus if I were to ever get home.

"What is it, Niar?" Evie asked with a sigh.

"You two should look dirty, so..." Niar said as she reached into her pockets and pulled out dirt and whipped it at Evie. The dirt hit Evie in her legs. Niar giggled a bit. "Creeper, stand next to Evie, if you please." Niar asked. I helped Creeper over to Evie and returned to Niar. She gave me dirt.

"On three?" I asked. Niar nodded quickly.

"One...two...THREE!" Niar yelled with increasing volume. WE threw dirt at Creeper and Evie, making sure to hit them as evenly as possible. Niar was giggling quite a bit. At one point, Evie and Creeper turned around. Soon, Niar and I ran out of dirt, and there was a lot of dirt on the ground. Niar and I cleaned up the dirt and ourselves slightly. It was mid morning when we were ready to head out.

I helped Creeper walk, and he was looking more and more winded with each step. Suddenly, Niar spoke.

"Sudden change of plans. Steve, I forgot about your situation. So instead you are going to be my husband." Niar explained, somewhat quietly.

"Okay." I said. I was getting tired from supporting Creeper's weight. Soon, Craftsburg came into sight. I let Creeper and Evie take their roles. Niar and I stood still for a moment and watched Creeper and Evie. Before they got too far, I was able to say something to Evie.

"Be safe." I said. Evie looked back at me.

"You too." She said, then continued to walk. As soon as they were out of sight, Niar and I followed, but instead of going to the center of town, Niar and I stayed on the outer parts of town.
