Hey!

Vote the poll on my profile! ;)

Enjoy!

"It's so hard." Alex groaned.

"It's not hard." Josh said with a roll of his eyes.

"I'm not good at video games, Joshua."

"You don't have to be good at video games to play Minecraft. Video games come in all kinds of designs, stories and controls. Minecraft is easy."

Alex pouted.

Josh sighed. "I'll let you sit on my lap."

Alex's head shot up. "Really?"

Josh nodded and Alex was in front of him in a second. He sat on Josh's lap and took the PS3 controller from him.

"What should the seed be?"

"What's the seed?"

"It builds the world."

"Oh, um, 69."

"Oh, brother," Josh scoffed but created the world with that number anyway, "Just so you know, anything that has to do with sex will probably screw us over in the long run in this game."

"That sounds like fun."

"Trust me, it's not. It'll probably be nothing but jungle, and I hate the jungle biome."

He spent the next few minutes explaining the controls to Alex and answering any questions he had.

"…while you're walking, or flying, push the left joystick forward twice and you'll move faster. However, in survival mode, when you run, your hunger will get lower and you'll need to eat more. So you have to make sure you have plenty of food."

"You can fly in this game? Cool."

"That's all you got from what I just told you?"

"It's confusing!"

"No it's not!"

"What the hell is an end?"

"It's not end, it's The End. It's where you fight the Ender Dragon so you can get the Ender Egg. To get there, you have to find the Eye of Ender, twelve of them to be exact, which are dropped by Endermen—"

"See, this is why I don't understand it."

"What's not to understand?"

"His name's Ernie." Lynn giggled as the white and brown Boston terrier tugged on the toy she held in her hand. She ripped it out of his mouth and tossed it to the corner of the living room.

Matty jumped a little when the puppy bounded up to him and licked his cheek.

"Are you scared of dogs?"

He blushed lightly, shaking a hand over his curls. "I haven't met a lot of d-dogs."

Lynn smiled, scooting closer to him on the floor. "Look, he likes you."

Matty warily let her pull his hand and set it on top of Ernie's head. He smiled shyly, stroking the puppy's head.

"See? You don't have to be scared." She assured him as Ernie jumped out of Matty's lap and snatched up his squeaky toy again.

"You actually went out with Jacob and you didn't tell us." Fiona said with a shake of her head.

Sarah blushed a little and shrugged her shoulders sheepishly. "I just…it happened so fast – he asked me, I said yes, and then we were hanging out with you guys and you were talking about the play and your date with Leo and – I don't know. I just didn't think of bringing it up."

Louisa grinned, linking her arm with Sarah's. "So? How was it?"

"Sweet."

"That's it?" Danni scoffed with a roll of her eyes. "Give us the juicy details!"

"He took me out on a walk and we talked…about everything." She smiled. "And he was nervous at first, as was I, like he thought he was going to make a mistake."

"Oh, man, he really likes you!" Fiona realized.

"It's not weird right? Fiona, I'm sorry, I should've asked—"

"Are you kidding me? Water under the bridge – and I should've noticed how you had felt about him before I started dating him. You two are really cute. And speaking of cute…" she sighed heavily.

"You and Leo?" Danni asked teasingly.

"No, you and Eric." Her best friend retorted.

"There's not even anything there, what are you talking about?"

"You two are so cute! You thinking that you don't like him and him saying that he's going to get over you."

"He said he couldn't. Yeah, right." She grumbled.

Fiona and Louisa shared a hesitant look.

"You didn't hear?" Louisa asked.

Sarah made a sound of realization and smiled sadly at Fiona.

"Hear what? What's with the looks?" Danni chuckled.

"Eric started dating Jessica Parks a couple days ago. You didn't hear about it?"

"From drama? The blonde?" she let out a laugh of disbelief. "It came from a box!"

"I don't think Eric cares about her hair color." Fiona pointed out.

"He is doing what you wanted him to do Danni." Sarah said softly.

She halted on the sidewalk and her friends turned to her. "No he's not. I never told him to get over me. I just wanted him to hate me again."

"But he never hated you in the first place." Louisa said.

"He's dating Jessica Parks?"

"What did you want him to do?" Fiona questioned. "You turned him down, what did you expect him to do?"

"I thought he'd stick. I wanted him to keep trying. He hurt me and he thought he'd get me back with an explanation and an apology. I wanted him to show me that when he said he couldn't hate me that he really meant it."

Fiona wrapped her arms around Danni's shoulders. "Guys really aren't the best at deciphering what we really mean, D."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." She pushed away from Fiona and smiled tightly. "Guess I screwed up. Oh, well… What were we doing again?"

"Meeting the guys at the coffee shop." Louisa replied.

Danni nodded once and marched off down the street.

Yeah, I just stuffed a little random Matty/Lynn friendly-fluff. ;)

My brother acts like such a jerk when he comes home from his friend's place. He just comes in and starts throwing temper tantrums for very stupid things and calling me names for taking away his PS3 because he keeps being a brat about everything. -_- Jerk.

#21: "Now our lives have changed, I wish that I could heal. Time has taken love, a darker side revealed. For every lie begins, with what we used to feel. Blaming myself, tied to these chains, living in pain. All of your tears, everything's gone, is it too late? Walk away..." -Walk Away, Black Veil Brides
