DK's POV: After what seems like a Millenium, Alex comes, randomly chopping at the air and crying out so loudly it could challenge Bruce Lee. Ediwn is grumbling stuff and all I can catch is something about "spider" and "riding" and "hugging" and "creepers". Brooke, something seems different, I can always see it. She keeps shuffling around, every so often trying to exaggerate being ok, and all the time she keeps staring at Alex.

"You ok, girl?" I ask, patting her on the back.

She stares off for a while, not paying attention. Then she snaps back to reality. "Yeah, just the stress of all this teaching stuff. Hehe"

I look at her, uncertain, but when she does a quick backflip and whoops, I relax.

"Ok! So that went 'well'" I use my two fingers and do what people normally do when being sarcastic. "I hope she learned well. So what next?"

"You, that's what's next!" Edwin throws two iron pickaxes into my hands and I barely catch them, stumbling over. "Tell her how to dig a diggy hole (Yogscast reference! XD)"

I grin, then pass one to Alex. "Come on, TO THE MINE THAT'S OVER THERE!"

TIME SKIP WITH A CORNY SUPERHERO DA NA NA NA, DA NAAAAAAAAAA

"When can I mine blocks like the Brooke?" Asks Alex.

"Either with a diamond Pickaxe with the efficiency enchantment or if you are like her, in which case you can't, because Notch made you a default. Which means you can't have powers" I reply, walking to the mine.

"What are we going to mine?"

"Coal, iron, lapis lazuli, gold, red stone, diamonds, and emerald. Also stone, maybe dirt, obsidian"

"Any dangers?"

"Mobs, long drops, getting lost, lava, dungeons, abandoned mineshafts. In noobish cases digging at gravel causing it to suffocate you"

"Does 9 plus 10 equal 21?"

"No, it's 19"

"Why am I asking random questions?"

I sigh as we step foot into the cave. She follows, gaping at everything, despite its just stone, coal, and dirt.

"To answer your question, I don't really know" I point downwards. "Don't get to surprised here already. The real part of this place is there, this is only the entrance"

I pass Alex a full set of iron armour, and two iron pickaxes, shovels, a water bucket, and 10 chicken breasts (that just sounded wrong). I also hand her a sword, a bow, and some arrows. I load myself with the same, but I also have my special bow, a.k.a the M.A.B (Multi Ability Bow) instead of a normal one.

This bow is pretty OP. Not only is it super lightweight and durable, it generates unlimited arrows with any ability I want. Explosive arrows, fire, poison, heat-seeking, you name it. If I loose my sword, then the bow can even be used as a melee weapon. And my favourite thing is that it teleports to my hand if I want it to.

"Why do we need weapons and this bucket of water?" Alex asks, pulling on a random not-so-heroic pose.

"First," I tell her. "Don't ask me questions all at once. Second, we need these in case mobs attack, and with the bucket of water I'll tell you later"

We head down deeper into the mine. I also have stacks of torches, and every 5 metres (blocks) we take I place one on the smooth stone walls. Alex 'oohs' and 'aahs' at everything, points at every moving object, gasps at every iron ore. She looks especially stunned at a lucky gold ore that has generated above its level.

"Don't let the gold fool you, it's really not that durable. It only lasts a bit" I tell her, tap her shoulder, then drag her away.

I start acting like a tour guide. "Welcome to the wonderfull cave system! There are many more like this, maybe hundreds, even thousands. Cave systems are amazing, but in what way dangerous, so I'll show you everything in here!"

We encounter a mob dungeon. "This is a dungeon. They either spawn zombies, skeletons, or spiders. Light it up with torches before they spawn" I place torches around the spawner and finish off the lone zombie that spawned.

Alex starts looting the chests, but all she finds is horse armour. "Hey what's this?"

"Ugh, it's for horses. Don't worry, loot is normally better than this. Probably just bad luck" I reply. "Come on. I'm going to show you something real nice"

I lead her through the dark corners, only to suddenly be lit up by the hot slow liquid. Lava. Alex, being Alex, widens her eyes. "Can we swim it it?"

I facepalm. "No, you can't. That is lava. You will burn up faster than you can say HELP MEEEEEEE. And what really sucks it that all your items will burn up, too. But then again, it is useful of some things"

"What sorts of things?" Alex asks, now backing away from the boiling magma.

"Well, it makes cobblestone, the substance you get when you mine stone. It also makes obsidian, if you put water over it. It's also a useful trash can, and you can use this to make traps if you collect it with a bucket. It can be a useful light source, but the main reason for me is..." I reply, then hesitate for effect.

"What?"

I gesture my hand to the walls, and Alex's mouth drops. "... The main reason is that it's a great way to find some ores"

I point to different types. "Coal, the basic, is the black stuff. You make torches with it, as well as a fuel for furnaces. Otherwise it's pretty useless. The beige-like stuff is iron, the stuff we are wearing right now is made of it, as well as the tools and bucket. Players just over beginner use this. The yellow is the weak but nice looking gold. People normally use this to make golden apples, redstone things, and more. Sky army members love this, though. The red is redstone which people use to make electronics. In weird cases people use it to look like blood. Weird. Anyway, the dark blue stuff is lapis, it's used to enchant items and things as well as dye to make colours. Then there are emeralds, the green. It's useless really, but you can trade it to villagers for items. But it's the diamonds that are the real deal. They are the most useful, awesomest, and durable gem in this game. It also signifies you are a pro Minecraftian."

"There are three types of lava. Streams, which are like mini lavafalls of it in caves. Surprise lava is when you are mining and suddenly you find a huge amount of it and it barely gives you time to run. But the best lava is underwater pools, like this. And..." I continue, but it's my instinct to know something's wrong. "Hang on, something's watching us"

There is a small thud behind me. Before I can react Alex has grabbed her bow and aimed it directly at the thing's head. The unknown mortal's eyes widen, then they speak, impressed.

"Seriously, DK! Since when did you get yourself some a new buddy here? Or is that just you with a new look?"

The figure steps out from the shadows, and I laugh. "Ha! Nice try, but I guess it didn't go that well, Piper!"

She still has her blue tunic and black jeans on, like I last saw her (which was like about 7 weeks ago). Her lace-up boots are untied. Piper blows a bit of her reddish hair off her face from being caught off guard, as I attempt to stifle my laughter.

Alex, knowing she's fine, we're safe, pulls down the bow. She also grins.

"Really, guys? Piper, please stop it with the ambushes! You might kill someone soon!" Another familiar voice echoes off the cave walls. "DK, I knew you would be a great teacher!"

I smirk. "Yeah, well, it's not really me. It was my other friends, Edwin and Brooke. They got the combat into her blood. I'm just teaching her to mine right now. Just started, actually. So, how are you two going, Icy?"

Crystal Icy Waters plops onto the ground, not from another tunnel like I expected, which makes me jump.

She notices, and grins at Piper. "And that's how you do it. Come up with original ideas, not the same trick over and over!"

Piper grumbles, then lights up. "DK, you said something about Brooke"

"You know her?"

She thinks, then shakes her head. "Nah, can't be. When I still lived with the testificates, they always talked about this legend called The Assassin. They said her real name was... Ugh. I don't really know. When you said her, that clicked in my mind. Just forget it, now" (Anything that clicks in YOUR mind?).

"I literally have two groups of friends right now" I mutter to myself. "Edwin, Brooke, Steve, and now Alex. And Piper and Icy"

I shake my head to knock myself out of my thoughts. "So, guys, can you help?"

"Sure! Why not?" Piper grins, then slaps Alex on the back as if a kid. "You've got a lot to learn!"

I walk up to a stone wall and start mining. And a huge spurt of lava emerges.

"WHAT THE DERP?!" I exclaim, cursing.

But with quick as lightning reflexes, I grab my bucket of water and pour away. The lava quickly turns to obsidian. I grin, then turn to face Alex.

"And that my friend, was an example on why water buckets exist!"

"Don't dig straight sideways!" Alex replies.

We all laugh a bit, sounding like some strange ghosts planning a prank due to the cave walls echoing everything we say and do.

"I think you have got it now" I say. "Let's head back"

And with that, Icy, Piper, Alex and I walk together to the exit.

VVVVVVV
