Well, I made this right after I finished the last one, so this will be uploaded along with the second chapter.

If only I did all-nighters more often, I'd have other fanfictions done.

Oh well, this seemed a bit more important to me.

Well, I'm rambling, so please…

Enjoy.

Joe awoke with the sun shining in his face, as he sat back up, a felt his joints crack like the previous morning.

"Man...I see why a bed is a must…" He said as he stood up and made his way downstairs.

He walked through the first floor and put on his shoes.

A slight breeze blew on Joe, giving a very refreshed feeling.

"Man, people just don't see what Vanilla worlds are like. All about the mods and crap…I just can't believe I'm seeing the sight in front of me." He said, with a smile.

After a few moments of awe, he then went back into his home.

"Well, time to go to work." He said as he closed his door.

He placed his bench against a wall. he made two chests out of more leftover planks, and placed them right next to each other, making a large chest.

Now that he had a storage unit, he then emptied everything he had into the chest, except for his pickaxe, sword, shovel and axe.

"What to do, what to-" He said, until he felt the same presence as he felt the day before.

He looked at the windows, and he could swear he saw something disappear as soon as he looked out the windows.

"Something's there, but I can never see it. Am I being stalked? Weird…" He said as he went to his business.

"Maybe I should make a hoe, in case I find seeds...But I'll need iron to make a bucket to make a proper irrigation system..So, that can wait...I need to get cobblestone to make a furnace, and make better equipment. I could use raw wood blocks to make charcoal, and make some torches and something to fuel it...Man, so much to do!" He said as he walked out and went into the wilderness.

He then wandered until he found a cave, rimmed with cobblestone.

After he mined it, he heard a familiar tone.

"Cows. I can get some food to eat, and some leather for armor! I'm off to a great start!"

After finding a few cows, he harvested raw beef and some pieces of leather.

After, he went all over and found many materials and food items. Wool from sheep to make a bed, some eggs, apples, and some meat from cows and pigs. Coal for torches and fuel, and plenty of cobblestone.

"No string, so no fish...screw it, I don't like fish anyways."He said as he walked on his way home, carrying all he had collected.

He was almost home, when he noticed something outside of his home.

Well, more like someone than something.

He saw a small figure, looking through the outer side of his windows inside his house.

The figure seemed to be a girl, with a jacket with the same design as the creepers, wearing light grey stockings, and didn't seemed to be wearing any pants. She was wearing brown gloves that could be seen as she tried to scan the windows.

"Uh…" He said in surprise. He walked closer to the girl, who didn't seem to notice he was behind her.

He saw what looked like sunset-orange hair poking through her hood, but he couldn't see her face.

"Er...Can I help you?" He said to the girl, who seemed to jump at his voice.

The girl then turned around to reveal her face, which looked as if she was about fifteen-sixteen years old, and she looked nervous.

Wow...shes pretty cute...

"U-Uhm, Its not what it looks like! I was just...er…" the girl stuttered saying.

"So you were what I felt. You make a good hider." He said, smiling.

"O-Oh? Really? I guess…" The girl said, still nervous.

"How can I help you? Don't think I've ever seen anyone like you around here." Joe asked.

"Well...if its not to much trouble, could I get something to eat and drink from you?" The girl asked.

Joe then chuckled. "Is that all? Sure, I'd be more than obliged to help." He said as he walked towards his door.

"R-Really? Thank you! I haven't had anything to eat in a while…" The girl said, following Joe inside.

He placed all he collected on his crafting bench, and got to more work.

He was making his furnace when he asked: "So, what's your name?"

"Uhm...My name's Cupa...what's yours?" The girl named "Cupa" replied and asked.

"My name's Joseph, but everyone calls me Joe. Nice to meet ya." He said as he placed his finished furnace next to his crafting table.

"N-Nice to meet you too…" Cupa replied.

"No need to be nervous. I'll make some bottles to get water for ya, and I'll get the meat cooking." Joe said as he loaded the furnace with coal, and began cooking his raw beef.

He then made glass bottles out of leftover glass, and started walking towards his door.

"Wanna come? It'll take a bit for the meat to cook." He said, outside his door.

"Sure!" Cupa accepted, then followed after Joe.

They walked outside t to the well Joe built his house next to, and started filling the bottles with water.

"So, where are you from?" Joe asked, filling bottles with Cupa.

"I don't know. I woke and found myself here, so I guess all my life. I can't think of anything before that." Cupa replied.

"Huh? Weird…" Joe said back, filling his last bottle.

"Well, I guess its the same for all creepers…" Cupa then said.

Joe froze in place. he turned his head towards Cupa.

"Er...Did you say...Creeper?" Joe asked, almost scared to death.

"Oh, well, I thought you would have that reaction! D-Don't worry, I'm not like the others, I won't hurt you." Cupa then said, slightly worried.

"T-True...If you were a normal one, you would have killed me by now…" Joe said, slightly feeling revived.

"So...You're not scared of me?" Cupa asked.

Joe then winced in guilt.

"W-Well...I was a bit, but now that I know...Its alright!" Joe said back, smiling.

"R-Really!?" Cupa exclaimed, looking at Joe.

"Y-Yeah. I'll trust you." Joe answered back.

"Thats the first time I've heard anyone say that! I'm so relieved…" Cupa said with a happy tone.

Joe then chuckled. "Well, if you're a creeper, then why do you look like a girl?" Joe asked.

"To be honest, I don't know. And as far as I'm concerned, I'm the only one who looks like this." Cupa replied.

"Weird...Well, We've got the water. Maybe that beef is done, right?" Joe asked.

"Yeah! I can't wait! I'm so hungry…" Cupa exclaimed, hugging her stomach.

Joe laughed a bit. "Well, don't want to keep it waiting then."

"No we don't~!" Cupa chirped, then followed Joe.

They went back into the house, the smell of cooked beef permeating their noses.

The smell made their mouths drool, as they approached the furnace.

Joe grabbed the steaks, and offered one to Cupa.

"Here, eat up." Joe said, offering the steak.

Cupa took the steak, holding it in her hands. "Thank you!" She said, as she sat down on the floor,and took a bite.

Joe then took a bite out of his steak, watching Cupa, leaning on his crafting table.

"Huh. Not bad." He said to himself, chewing on the steak.

He then offered a bottle of water to Cupa, who took it and took several gulps, nearly emptying the bottle.

"Wow, you weren't kidding…" Joe said, noticing how Cupa was eating.

"Well, when you're a creeper, the locals don't exactly trust you…" Cupa replied, with a mouthful.

"Heh, I can see why." Joe said, taking another bite.

After a while, They ended up eating all the steaks that Joe had.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry...You got all that food yourself." Cupa said, slightly guilty.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I can always get more." Joe said, patting Cupa's head.

He then noticed it was getting dark out.

"It's starting to get dark out. Should I walk you home?" Joe asked.

"Eh? Well…" Cupa started, slightly nervous.

"Consider it repayment for not killing me." Joe said, giving a thumbs-up.

Cupa remained quiet, then spoke. "Alright, thank you." She said, then stood up with Joe.

He pulled his sword from his chest, in case any Mobs come after them.

He placed the sword at his hip, with a sword loop he made of leather, and walked up to Cupa.

"Ready?" Joe asked.

"Y..Yeah…" Cupa replied, then followed Joe.

Cupa led the way, through trees and such, until they came across what looked like a small cave, but it looked very poor in terms of living conditions.

"We're here…" Cupa said.

"Huh? You live here?" Joe asked. He looked inside, and saw nothing but dirt and stone.

"Yeah, I've been here for a while…" Cupa replied, with a somber tone. "It's not the best, but it keeps me cool and warm...well, at least a little…"

Joe then looked at Cupa, and saw a bit of fear on her face.

He could feel her fear. Fear of not knowing if she would freeze to death while sleeping. He now knew why she seemed desperate.

"H-Hey, you know, if you want…" Joe started.

"Huh?" Cupa replied, curious.

Joe was a bit quiet, because he didn't exactly know what to say."..You could stay at my place for a bit...This doesn't seem like suitable living space. I could craft an extra bed for you."

Cupa was taken aback at his offer.

"You..You would let me?" she asked.

"Of course. I mean, I don't want you freezing or such out here. It wouldn't seem right." Joe finished.

Cupa was silent. She was very suprised at Joe's offer, but then smiled.

"Thank...You…" She murmured.

Joe placed his hand on Cupa's head.

"Not a problem. Always willing to help."

They then walked away from where Cupa's former home was, and started back towards joe's home.

They approached the home, when Cupa stopped.

"You alright?" Joe asked, noticing her.

"I just...feel like a burden…" Cupa replied, twiddling her fingers.

Joe sighed. He then offered his hand to Cupa.

"Don't worry. Come on in, Its getting dark out." Joe asked.

Cupa looked at his hand, and slowly took it.

Joe then lead Cupa inside his home. He went over to his crafting table, and used wool to make Cupa's bed.

He held it in his arms as he faced Cupa.

"Where you want it?" He asked.

"O-Oh, just over there, near the window...If you could…" Cupa replied, pointing at a spot next to one of Joe's windows.

He carried the bed over, and placed it, perfect to Cupa's liking.

"This ok?" He asked.

"Y-Yeah...Thank you…" Cupa quietly said.

"For the last time, no need to be so nervous. I feel obliged to help you, so calm down." Joe said, clearing dust from his hands.

"A-Alright…" Cupa replied, smiling.

Joe smiled back. "Well, you might want to get some sleep. Don't want you up all night." He said, as he made his own bed.

Cupa then found this an opportune moment, and walked up to Joe.

"Huh? Need anything?" Joe asked.

Cupa said nothing, as she pulled Joe into a tight embrace, wrapping her arms around Joe's side.

"H-Huh? Hey, what's wrong?" Joe said, a bit of red in his cheeks.

"Thank you…" Cupa said.

"Huh?"

"Thanks for taking me in...feeding me, giving me water, and a place to stay…" Cupa said, slightly nervous.

Joe was silent. He then hugged Cupa back, wrapping his arms around her head, resting his head on the top of her head.

"Is that all? Come now, I've already said this before." He said, noticing the sweet smell coming from her hair.

After a moment, Cupa then let go, then looked at Joe.

Joe looked back at her, noticing her cute face.

"You have to be my first human-friend…" She said.

Joe chuckled. "Well, you have to be my first Creeper friend, so I'm about as obliged to you as well."

Cupa went silent, then smiled.

Joe smiled back. "Well, lets get to bed. Its pretty late out" Joe said, picking up his bed.

"Alright...Good Night…" Cupa said, watching Joe carry his bed up his stairs.

"Night!" Joe said, eventually disapearing out of sight.

Cupa stood there a moment, then walked to her bed, and crawled in.

For the first time, she felt warm...cozy...safe…

She wrapped herself in the warm blanket, thinking of only one thing before she drifted to sleep.

Thank you...Joe-kun…

Meanwhile, Joe placed his bed where he slept last night, and plopped on it.

"Man, this is more comfy than I thought. No wonder Steve likes these beds." Joe said to himself as he layed back on the bed.

He laid there, lost in his thoughts."This is still all too crazy...A girl, who claims to be a creeper...Man, this is all to weird…" He said as he scratched his cheek. "Heh….Cupa's pretty cute too…" He said, before feeling tired himself. "I wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow…?" were the words he said as he eventually drifted to sleep himself.

But, outside his window, seemed to be a figure, staring at him through the window.

And here, we meet the Creeper-Girl, Cupa! Joe has taken her him to keep her from facing the elements, and it seems shes developed a fondness for him. And we seem to have a new visitor coming in...Who will it be? Well, Tune in to find out.

I will see you all, in the next chapter.
