Chapter 28: Rekindling Love


(After the departure of Bashur and Ronix, PewFace had return back to everyone to explain why Bashur had left in such an emotional rush because of Ronix. After he had discuss this to everyone, everyone seems surprised that Bashur ever even had a crush).

-Jerome: Huh. I never knew that Bashur was in love with Ronix. But, why didn't he tell any of us?

-BajanCanadian: I guess he was too scared and he didn't have enough courage to reveal his love to her.

-PewFace: Exactly. Ronix was defenseless when Herobrine threatened her to work for him. So really, you shouldn't blame her for Sky's death. She had no other choice. If she had refused, Herobrine would have surely killed her and Bashur would have never meet her in the first place. Sure, I was jealous of his new affection towards her, but it took me this long to realize that he would never replace me with her because I'm his friend. And she is his crush.

(Everyone glances at each other. They knew Ronix was overall, innocent and had no other option but to do what Herobrine told her to do).

-Dawn: So...if Ronix never meant to kill Sky, does that mean that Herobrine was the one who killed him?

-GoldSolace: I'm afraid that might be the case, Dawn. Even if Ronix had never worked for him, Herobrine would have still found a way to get to Sky and ultimately, take his life.

-ChimneySwift: Well, we can't just move on without the two. They'll die here.

-GoldSolace: You're right. PewFace, you go and find Ronix. Explain to her about Bashur.

-PewFace: Got it.

(The canine dashes in the direction where Ronix had gone. Solace turns towards Luclin).

-GoldSolace: Luclin, you know Bashur the best. You think you can go find him?

-Luclin: Of course. I know where he would go.

(Luclin takes off in the direction where Bashur had gone).


(Several minutes later, Luclin is seen padding across the fire field, looking intensely around for his melon friend. Then, he gets a lone tree, undamaged by any of the flames. Luclin looks up at the oak tree).

-Luclin: Bash, get out of the tree. I know you're up there.

(Bashur suddenly pokes his head out of the leaves).

-Bashur: How'd you know I was up here?

-Luclin: Dude, after our years of adventuring and escaping from space zombies, you would always seclude yourself in a tree when we were over-swarmed by them.

-Bashur: (Sighs) Just leave me alone. My heart is already shattered enough. All that I could think about is...Ronix.

-Luclin: Bash, listen. PewFace explained to us that you were in love with her. We understand that, and we also figured out that Ronix was just being used by Herobrine for his plans. We figured out that she would never do anything to hurt Sky.

-Bashur: Exactly! But now, she's gone for good, and I'll never see her again!

(Luclin sighs as Bashur hides himself back in the tree again).


(Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, PewFace is sniffing the ground, following Ronix's faint scent. Despite the smoke in the air, PewFace concentrates on the scent on the ground and not in the air. After several paces to the east part, Pewaface glances up and spots the female, standing alone by herself in a ring of fire. PewFace carefully navigates himself around the ring and finds a narrow path. He slips through the path and ends up inside the ring of fire and walks up to her).

-PewFace: Ronix?

(Ronix pick her head up and turns. She is slightly apprehensive about seeing Bashur's dog here, talking to her).

-Ronix: What do you want, PewFace?

-PewFace: Look, I just wanted to say...I'm sorry. I just thought that you would steal my owner away from me.

-Ronix: I wouldn't do anything like that, PewFace. Bashur is funny and...he's a real friend to have. I wouldn't steal him away from any of his friends.

-PewFace: Well...here's one thing. Bashur...he..li-lik...he...well, he li...uh...he likes you!

-Ronix: Wha...what?

-PewFace: Yeah, he...has a crush on you. Ever since he rescued you, he had been lovestruck with you, but he couldn't tell you how he feels about you because he's afraid that you might regret him. And during all that time, I thought he would forget about me, but after all this madness, I realized that he still wants me as his best friend, and wants you. He thinks you're beautiful and innocent, and that he would risk anything for you.

-Ronix: Wow...he...really said that?

-PewFace: (sincerely) Of course.

-Ronix: Well, to be honest, I...kinda like Bashur back. But...I never really convinced myself to tell him about my feelings for him.

-PewFace: Well, here's your chance. Right after you left, Bashur had an emotional breakdown and just run off. That's how much he cares about you.

(Ronix looks down, pondering at the decision. Then, she looks back up at PewFace).

-Ronix: PewFace...take me to Bashur. I need to tell him now.

-PewFace: Okay. Follow me.

(Just before PewFace can escape out with Ronix, the path that he had entered the ring fire is engulfed in glames. The two beings realized that they're trapped. They huddled together in the center of the ring, the flames only get closer).

-Ronix: Ah! We can't escape! What are we gonna do?

-PewFace: There's only one thing I can do. I just hope it works.

(PewFace turns his head upwards towards the sky and howls loudly, his wolf instincts still alive. His howl echoes from the ring of flames and travels in all directions).


(Back with the others, they are waiting patiently when they hear a loud howl. They turn their heads towards the direction of the howl).

-Caveman: What is that!?

-AntVenom: It sounds like a wolf's howl. It must be PewFace.

-GoldSolace: Come on! I think he might be in trouble.

(GoldSolace leads everyone as the howl still continues).


(Right at the same moment, Luclin is seen comforting Bashur, who has finally climbed down the tree. They suddenly hear a loud howl).

-Luclin: What is that?

-Bashur: It sounds like...PewFace!

(Bashur quickly takes off, away from the tree. Luclin follows him as well).


(Back with Ronix and PewFace, the dog ends his howl. He looks ahead as he sees nothing but the flames coming closer. Ronix grabs and wraps her arms around the canine for comfort).

-Ronix: If I could meet Bashur one more time, I would have told him...that I love him. I love everything about him. His personality, his willingness to protect me and anyone around him. But it seems that I'll never get that chance again.

-PewFace: He'll come and save us, you'll see.

(Back with the gang, they run several meters more until they come across a giant ring of fire. They stop dozens of feet away from the blaze, not wanting to get burned. PewFace senses their presence).

-PewFace: Help!

-Jerome: Don't worry! We'll get you out of there.

-HuskyMudkipz: What are we gonna do? The fire is too strong and violent now. Who will be risky enough to jump through the flames and save them?

-Voice: I will.

(Everyone glances behind them. Bashur is standing there, Luclin right behind him. The watermelon takes off from his friend, past the group, and leaps through the fire).

-Dawn: Oh my gosh! Is he insane?

-Sierra: Well, he is, but not to that extend.

-Griffinblitz: But how is he gonna get out?

(Everyone looks nervously and anxiously as the flames continue to spread and get stronger. After a few minutes pass, Bashur doesn't appear out of the fire).

-Griffinblitz: Guys, I don't think he's coming out.

-Rex: He's getting burned alive! What do we do!?

(Suddenly, Bashur leaps out of the ring of fire. Ronix is clinging to his chest and PewFace is on his back. A couple of small flames burn at his melon skin, but Bashur doesn't seem to have a reaction to it. They crash onto the less fiery side of the hell ring, Ronix and PewFace are thrown away to safety. Ronix quickly looks up and sees Bashur on the ground, not moving).

-Ronix: Bashur?

(The female gets up and runs over to Bashur, ignoring the raging fires a foot away from her. She kneels down and caresses Bashur's head. His head limply falls over as she picks his head up. Ronix's eyes begin to tear up, glistening and reflecting the flames off her iris and pupils).

-Ronix: Bashur...you risk your life once again to save me. I can't thank you enough. But...don't leave us...don't leave me. PewFace told me everything you said about me. Did you really all that stuff about me?

(Slowly, Bashur lifts up his head looks at her, 2nd degree burns marked his face).

-Bashur: (weakly) Of...of course. You're the most beautiful, kind, and nicest person to be around with. I loved you since the first time we met. I care about you, and I don't want anyone else to hurt you and use you in a evil way. I..I..I love you, Ronix.

-Ronix: I love you, too, Bashur.

(Gaining strength, Bashur pulls himself to his feet and holds Ronix's hands in his hands. The Minecrafters look deeply into each other's eyes, then slowly, they lean their heads close to each other and embrace their lips in a loving kiss, expressing all their feelings towards each other in an extremely heartfelt rush. Within the group, Bodil and Snowy look at each other, happy for Bashur and Ronix. Snowy side-hugs Bodil, the Bulgarian wraps an arm around her and brings her closer. Luclin and PewFace look on as the new couple continue their kiss).

-PewFace: (Sighs) I'm happy for them, but will Bashur ever have time for me?

-Luclin: Dude, Bashur will always have time for his friends. Don't you ever doubt that.

(PewFace smiles as he looks back at his owner, happy that things between him and Bashur will remain the same).
