Sky (POV)
Glenn
I sat in the middle of the back seat. Ant was sitting on my left and TrueMU to my right. The front seat went Megan, Deadlox, Seto. Sparkly, Bajan, Jerome, and Ssundee rode in the back. It looked fun, but Sparkly wasn't enjoying the bumps in the road. I saw Megan flick a lever and a clicking noise started. She turned the wheel to the right and onto the stone road.
"This silence is bothering me, so I came up with something for us to talk about," Megan announced, looking to the mirror in the middle of the car, "You guys'll need some names to go by in this world. Sky, yours and Jerome's are fine, but we can't go around calling someone Deadlox or CaptainSparklez."
"What exactly should we call ourselves, then? We don't exactly know what would qualify as normal," Seto pointed out.
She thought a second, "Uh, things like Jacob, Kevin, Austin, stuff like that."
"Oh, I saw one guy in Minecraft with a name that had Andrew in it," Ant noted.
"Yeah, that's a good one. A few others are Jared, Chris, and Garrett," She told us.
"I'll just be Jared, since no one else is choosing," TrueMU announced.
"Since I found it, I'll be Andrew. Seems easy and it starts with the same sound as AntVenom."
"Can't I just be Seto?" He complained.
She pondered the idea, now turning left, "I guess. It'll just be a nickname for you, though. I'll say your real name is Steven if anyone asks."
"So why can't we use our real names as names for this world?" Deadlox asked.
"So you really think people will think it's normal if I call you Deadlox?"
I was just sitting there listening to the conversation, wondering what we'd call the other three in the back. Maybe Sam was a normal name. It sounded right for this world. Sara might also be a good name.
"What about Tyson? You can be Tyson," She told Deadlox, driving onto a road not well marked.
"Well, won't the other three in the back need a name? What about Sam? Or Sara?" I asked, curious.
She burst out in laughter, "You really want a guy to be named Sara?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"Uh, I dunno. It's a girl's name, maybe?"
"Sam?"
"Both a guy's and a girl's name. But yeah, I actually think Sparklez could pass as a Sam," She said.
"We still need a name for Bajan and Ssundee, though," I told to no one in particular.
"How 'bout Will? It fits both," She told us, "Oh! We're here!"
She pulled off of the path on the right side and onto a less marked road into a pit. As soon as it leveled out, she stopped the car and opened up her door, allowing Ant to get out. Eventually, we all got out of it.
"Sooo... Where is this guy who can get my sword 'up and running'?" I asked.
She walked down the path a bit then took a sudden right. A hidden trap door was in front of her.
"Right here. Lemme do the knock," She started tapping on the old wood using fast knocks and longer knocks.
The door screeched in pain as it swung open. A guy, a little older than Megan, was standing on the other side. She went forward and hugged him.
"Megan! It's been a while! How are you?" The guy asked.
"Pretty good," Her voice went solemn, "Did you hear about what happened?"
"Yeah. I did. I think it was pretty gruesome for them to not even show it on TV. But, who are your friends?"
"Oh, uh, this is Sky, over there's Tyson, Seto, Jared, and Andrew. And back in the back is Jerome, Sam, Will, and..." She stopped. We forgot to give a name to one of the people in the back, "... Chris. Everyone, this is Glenn."
Glenn cleared his throat, "Well, come on in!"
We piled in one by one into a plain wood room with a flickering light bulb lighting it up. Glenn closed the doors behind us.
"Welcome guys! So whatcha need?" Glenn asked.
Megan shrugged, "Nothin' much. We just need you to sharpen this sword for Sky. He insisted on using it."
Megan handed Glenn the sword I had been holding, "Nice. Leather grip with the rest of the hilt golden plated. You're lucky it's a longsword; you won't get by with much less. But are you sure you want me to sharpen this? It could be worth a fortune!"
"Well, in retrospect, collectables aren't very much good in an apocalypse," Megan pointed out.
"True, true. Well, it shouldn't be a hard task. I'll be a little while, though, You guys can wait here," And with that, the guy left.
"Uh... He was strange," Ant stated.
"Yeah. He is. I have a feeling you want to know how I met him," Megan said.
"Well, now that you say it, yeah it could be interesting. So how did ya meet him?" Deadlox questioned.
"He's my brother's friend. They met just before the virus was created. Both of 'em were science nerds at the time," She told us.
I pondered a second, "Huh."
She laughed, "And that is the brilliant response from the guy who, more or less, has millions of subscribers on da YouTubez."
"Wait, wait, wait. That reminds me. You knew who we were because of YouTube, yet we're from different worlds? How does that work?" Bajan asked.
"Well, yeah. YouTube is awesome. And plus, it is an internet thing and so is Minecraft most of the time, so it would make sense," She replied simply.
"Yes, but how would you know all of us and not some other people?" TrueMU wondered.
"If you really want to hear the whole story, I can tell ya," She cleared her throat, " I was introduced to the idea of 'trolling', so I looked it up and found a guy who trolled on Minecraft. On one of his episodes, he trolled as Sky, so I decided to look him up. I watched quite a few of his videos and you guys were in some of them. So yeah. End of story."
"Wow. Could you have said that any faster?" TrueMU questioned.
"Probably."
"The sword is ready!" Glenn yelled, bursting through the door opposite the one we entered, "I also found a sheath that would work for holding it, so Sky, try it on!"
He handed me a leather belt-like thing. I threw it over my shoulder and around my head. It fit a bit loosely.
"Lemme get that," He sinched up the sheath, "Perfect!"
I reached over my left shoulder and grabbed the grip of the sword. Unsheathing it, I gripped it in both hands and got into a battle stance.
"Wow. You must be, like, a pro sword-wielder or something because I've never seen such a perfect posture. Arms out at the perfect length so you're able to make a quick move, legs in a strong posture..." Glenn mulled over me.
"Uh, Megan?" I asked.
"Oh, uh, Glenn, we'll be going now," She said.
"Already? Okay. See you guys!"
We walked back up to the ancient trap door covering the place. Megan forced it open and we continued our way back to the dark green car. I jumped in the back along with Ant, Deadlox, TrueMU, and Ssundee. The rest crowded into the cab.
~Meanwhile in the cab~
CaptainSparklez was twitching his leg when Seto spoke up.
"So, when you were telling us about that virus, how did you know so much about it?" He asked.
"Ya know. The news," She replied simply.
"I may not be from this world, but I do know what news is. And if I know it well enough, they won't release that much detail, let alone what happened."
"What? How would you know how much they release to the public?"
Seto stared at her.
"Fine. The scientist, he wasn't just a scientist. He... he was my uncle. His journal was how I knew so much."
Not my best cliffy, but hey. Anyway, Ima be accepting OCs for a scene or two in the upcoming chapters. So yeah. Send 'em in. I only need their name, personality, and appearance. Oh, and I have a joke for you. Look below dis.
So, a guy was a junior in high school and he was so excited. He was gonna go to prom no matter what. He went up to a girl and asked her to prom. She said yes and he knew it was going to be the best prom ever.
He first went to the tailor to get his tux so he could look good. There, the line was soooo long! He waited. And waited. Waited some more. Finally, after waiting forever, he got the measurements and was on his way.
His next stop was the limo place. Once again, there was a loooong line! So he waited. Waited a bit more. Kept waiting. Eventually, he got to the front of the line and got the last limo there was.
The next day, he went to go get a corsage to look nice. And again, the line stretched forever. He waited in line. Still was waiting. Continued to wait. Although there weren't very many flowers left, he got a nice corsage and was on his way.
On prom night, he went in the limo to go pick up the girl. She looked nice and got in the limo. They drove to prom without any hitches. Once they got into prom, the girl asked for some punch. He went to go get it and guess what?
There's no punch line.
