Hey Doods! You know, I really think that people are starting to like my story, and I've only wrote 2 chapters so far! So now I'm going to add chapter 3 into the mix! I'm so excited!
Chapter 3: Friends reunite
Part 1: Herobrine's Triumph
Back to where we left off….
Dr. Phillipstein: There, that should keep the sniffles away.
Andr: Thank you.
Cody: Thanks, but did you really have to do a checkup on me too?
Dr. Phillipstein: You never know when someone will get sick or is sick. That was just to make sure you're healthy as a jack hopper.
Cody: Oh, in that case thanks a lot!
Dr. Phillipstein: You're welcome. But right now I need to ask Andr a few questions.
Andr: What is it?
Dr. Phillipstein: Do you have any allergies?
Andr: No.
Dr. Phillipstein: Do you know why you got sick?
Andr: Well, I guess it was because of Cody's hair.
Cody: *genuinely surprised* my hair?
Dr. Phillipstein: And why is that?
Andr: Well, I touched it and some yellow dust was left on my hand. I put it close to my face to see it closer but then I sneezed when I did.
Cody: Dust? In MY hair?
Dr. Phillipstein: Hm… Let me see your scalp Cody.
Cody: Uh… okay.
He tilted his head as Dr. Phillipstein took out a cotton swab. He swabbed Cody's hair. It felt kind of weird for the orange haired boy. The doctor peered at the swab, and saw the yellow dust Andr was talking about.
Dr. Phillipstein: I see it now.
Cody/ Andr: What is it?
Dr. Phillipstein: This isn't any regular dust, this is glowstone dust.
Cody: *Blinks* Glowstone dust? How is that possible?
Instead of answering Cody, Dr. Phillipstein was deep in thought.
Dr. Phillipstein: You know, this is all reminding me of that old folk tale.
Cody: What is it about?
Dr. Phillipstein: It happened centuries ago. It was a lot like now, when monsters attacked humans way more often than usual. Some said that it was because of Herobrine.
Andr: Herobrine? You mean he's real?
Dr. Phillipstein: Yes Andr, more real than you can imagine. The legend said that Herobrine was planning to destroy the entire world at his full power. He used the mobs to attack humans and possibly exterminate them. It was so catastrophic that people called it 'Herobrine's Triumph'
Cody and Andr were surprised to hear this.
Dr. Phillipstein: As the humans began losing hope, Notch stood up and decided to fight back. But he couldn't do it alone. He chose a group of teens from the real world because he believed they had the power to stop Herobrine. Together, they pushed the evildoer's forces back.
Cody: And then what happened?
Dr. Phillipstein: Herobrine unfortunately was not one to give up so easily. Notch chose 3 people from the humans, and bestowed them the power to defeat Herobrine and end the war. The battle was fierce, but the humans finally won. Herobrine was destroyed and peace was finally restored.
Andr: But what does this have to do with Cody's hair?
Dr. Phillipstein: The story leaves it out but the legend says that Notch used a device to transport people from the real world to this world.
Cody: Now may not be a good time to say this but… I'm from the real world too.
Dr. Phillipstein: Are you serious!?
Andr: Cody, why didn't say anything before?
Cody: I sorta… forgot.
Dr. Phillipstein: Oh dear, and the glowstone dust in Cody's hair just reminded me of the story! That, with the possibility that he actually WAS from the real world, makes it more likely that…
Cody: That what?
Dr. Phillipstein: That the legend just might be true. And Herobrine may be back for revenge.
There was a silence filled with fear and confusion for everyone.
Dr. Phillipstein: Oh! I almost forgot. Andr, if you sneezed because of glowstone dust, then you may be allergic to it.
The ender lady watched silently as the doctor walked up to her and gave her a potion of regeneration.
Dr. Phillipstein: Drink one potion of regeneration a day and you'll be cured of your sickness. Unfortunately for Cody, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about his hair.
Cody: It's fine. Thanks.
Andr: Thank you.
Dr. Phillipstein: Your welcome kids. Now go have fun and remember, stay healthy.
Cody: We will. Bye.
Andr: Goodbye Dr. Phillipstein!
Dr. Phillipstein: Call me Dr. Phillip from now on. Farewell you crazy kids.
He smiles and waves as Cody and Andr left his office and walked back to the village. His face switched to a serious expression once they were gone. He looked back to his bookshelf and focuses on a red book sticking out of it.
Part 2: Meet Mindy the spider
Cupa: Oh wow…
Cody: Yep.
Snowy: So you are from the real world.
Cody: Uh-huh. But as of now, I have absolutely no idea how to get back.
Iris: In any case master, if that legend really is true, then we need to stay alert.
Andr: I agree with Iris.
Cody: Me too. We can't start being so carefree from now on.
Cupa: But to think… Herobrine…
Cody: I know.
Everyone heard creepers outside.
Andr: Looks like we have some guests.
Snowy: It sounds like there's creepers in the front and back of the house.
Cupa: Aahhh! What do we do!?
Cody: Everyone stay calm. Iris, deal with the ones in the back, and I'll take care of the ones in the front.
Snowy: I'm coming with you.
Cupa: Me too!
Cody: No way. The rest of you stay have to stay here. I don't want to risk your lives fighting with me.
Cupa: But Cody…
Cody: *takes out a bow and arrow* don't worry Cupa. *gives a thumbs up* I'll be just fine.
Andr: You might need this. *tosses him a potion of regeneration*
Cody: Thanks. You girls wait for me here. I'll be back before you know it!
The teen went to his front door. He looked out the window and saw a few creepers waiting outside. It puzzled him for a second. Then he realized it.
Cody (thinking): They must be waiting for someone to go outside so they can make the kill!
With that, he drank the potion of regeneration and burst out the door. He started shooting at the creepers and killing them one by one. One creeper blew up next to him and damaged his health. Cody saw that he had three hearts left, but it healed completely. He was glad Andr gave him that potion! Little did he know, there was someone lurking along the side of his house. She smirked as Cody kept his back to her, shooting creepers instead of focusing on her. The girl had long purple hair, four red dots in her hair, red eyes, a grey jacket with black stripes, and a short black skirt with long grey and black striped socks.
Spider girl: *quietly* hohoho…. I will surely scare the shit out of him now!
She crept slowly towards Cody. The orange-haired teen kept his back to her while fighting off the remaining creepers. She raised her arms, ready to give him the scare of his life. She stopped short when she heard a creeper behind her. Her eyes widened when she looked back and saw it. The creeper blew up, sending her flying over Cody. The teen boy looked back just when the spider girl flew in from of him and landed in a tree.
Cody: Huh. Looks like a creeper tried to blow me up from a bad distance, which is lucky for me. But it looks like they're all gone now.
Iris: *calls from the door* Master Cody, the creepers in the back have been taken care of. There are no casualties whatsoever.
Cody: Awesome. I'm just about done here too.
As they were talking, the spider girl fell from the tree and landed on her butt.
Spider girl: Owie… that hurt…
She looked up when Cody and Iris just about finished their conversation. The iron woman went back inside the house but the spider girl kept her eye on Cody.
Spider girl (thinking): This… was just a little setback. Mindy the spider isn't the one to give up so easily. I will surely scare that boy so much that he will have a heart attack!
Mindy: Hohohohoho!
Meanwhile, Cody was looking around for something to do. He spotted a pond a few yards away from his house.
Cody (thinking): I think I'll go fishing and bring some fish back to the girls. Luckily I downloaded that sushi mod too. Sushi for dinner sounds awesome. But don't I need to make calamari? *thinks for a second and shrugs* whatever.
He walked to the pond and Mindy chased after him. When Cody stood in front of the pond looking for fish, Mindy flung a string of web at Cody's legs, but missed.
Mindy (thinking): Damn!
Cody looked down and saw the string he thought 'magically' appeared.
Cody: Oh cool. I can make a fishing rod!
He took out a stick, picked up the string and crafted the fishing rod. He pulled his arm back, and threw the line into the water. He whistled as he waited for a bite. However, he might literally get a bite when Mindy ran at him. The line tugged in the water.
Cody: Caught one!
He threw the line back with a silly and triumphant look on his face. However, the line went so far back that the fish smacked Mindy right in the face. Cody looked back at the spider girl. Her face was crumpled up as the fish slid from her face into her hands. There was a red mark where the fish smacked her.
Cody: *runs up to her* I'm so sorry miss! I wasn't looking when I threw it back.
Mindy: *opens her eyes to meet Cody's*
Cody: Are you okay?
Mindy: *looks down at the fish wobbling in her hands. She looks away in an angry expression and tosses it to Cody* Here, take it.
Cody tried to grab the fish but it kept sliding out of his hands. Mindy almost giggled seeing this but she kept to herself and walked away.
Cody: *finally catches the fish and sees the strange girl walking away*
Cody (thinking): What's her problem?
Later
Cody is seen walking with Cupa through the forest. However, a certain spider girl was waiting behind a tree. She smirked as they approached closer. By the time the creeper girl hugged Cody and he blushes, they walked by and she missed her chance.
Mindy (thinking): Dammit!
She runs toward them but trips on her own feet. Both teens looked back and saw her.
Cupa: Hey, are you okay?
Mindy looked up at the two teens looking down at her.
Cody: Hey, you're that girl from earlier!
Mindy gave a slight gasp and ran away.
Cupa: What was that about?
She met Cody's eyes and they both shrugged.
Inside a cave
Cody was mining as Mindy watched from a distant wall. Thanks to the fact that she was a spider, she could climb walls and stick to them whenever she pleased.
Mindy (thinking): I'm not giving up!
When Cody was seen off-guard, the spider girl sprang towards him, but ended up falling straight down a cliff instead. Cody looked back, wondering what that noise was. He just shrugged and went back to mining. At the bottom of the cliff, Mindy propped herself up with her arms. She felt like crying because of the pain, but instead she smirked.
Mindy (thinking): *painfully* I'm not giving up! I will scare him! I just need one… last… try.
Back at Cody's house
Cody was walking along the side of his house toward the door. Just then, Mindy appeared behind him. Her expression was serious. It was sunset, but she could still pull it off (yeah right).She ran at him at full 100% scare mode. She jumped, but ended up doing a face plant on Cody's door when he opened it. She slid downwards to the ground. The orange-haired teen stood in the doorway until he closes the door and looks at the girl boo-hooing next to him.
Mindy: *cries loudly*
As she cried, Cody knelt beside her and spoke to her softly, despite the surprise that it was the same girl again.
Cody: Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?
Mindy: I wanted to scare you but, I kept failing every time I tried.
Cody (thinking): Every time?
Then it clicked.
Cody: Hold on, you're the one who caused that noise from the cave when I was mining!
Mindy: I just wanted to scare you. *cries*
Cody: *pats her shoulder* I understand but- Wait, I don't understand. Why did you try to scare me?
Mindy: Because I'm a spider you dummy! I scare humans; it's like a hobby to me.
Cody glanced up at the sky.
Cody (thinking): So this girl is the spider. No wonder she tried so hard to scare me. But, don't spiders become hostile at night?
Mindy: *keeps crying*
Cody: *comforts her* its okay. You don't have to cry about it. Just calm down, everything will be all right.
Mindy: *takes a break from crying and looks up at the sky. It was night* Uh oh…
Cody: What is it? No, don't tell me…
They were both frightened when they heard the zombies moan in the darkness.
Cody: Come on! *he grabs Mindy's hand and pulls her inside his house*
Cody slammed the door just as the zombies appeared into view. Both he and Mindy sat on the floor, panting.
Cody: That… was close.
The orange-haired teen glanced at the girl in from of him.
Cody: So, what's your name?
Mindy: It's Mindy. Mindy the spider girl.
Cody: Nice to meet you Mindy. I'm Cody.
Mindy: Yeah, thanks.
Cody looked outside at the zombies, the monsters trying to get in but can't. Then he looked at Mindy, sympathy for her failures and fear for her safety filled him.
Cody: Um, Mindy?
Mindy: What do you want?
Cody: Would you like to stay here for the night?
Mindy: *surprised* me!?
Cody: I know it's a little sudden, but at least until morning when the monsters are gone.
Mindy: Well um… heh, this is kind of awkward.
Cody: How so?
Mindy: The person whom I tried to attack a bunch of times today if offering me a place to stay. It's ironic so it makes me feel awkward.
Cody: I think you're just shy. But there's no surprise that I'm being nice to you after you tried attacking me. It just shows that I have a good heart and is kind to others, friend or foe.
Mindy: *smiles as she acknowledged what Cody said*
Cody: *smiles back*
Just then, Cupa walked in and saw Cody and Mindy sitting on the floor.
Cupa: Cody!
Cody: *blushes as Cupa jumped and hugged him* Cupa!?
Cupa: It turned night and you weren't back yet. I got so worried and-
Cody: Uh, Cupa?
Cupa: *looks at him* what?
They both heard the spider girl giggling at the both look at her.
Mindy: Hey Cody, who's your girlfriend?
Cody: *blushes* Cupa's not- I mean, we're not dating! Right?
Cupa: *breaks the hug and turns to Mindy* Hey, you're that girl from earlier. Remember, when you tripped?
Mindy: Yeah, I remember…
Cody: Ahem, Mindy this is Cupa. Cupa this is Mindy, the spider.
Cupa: Oh cool. Nice to meet you Mindy.
Mindy: You too.
Cody: I was just offering Mindy a place to sleep for the night. Is that okay with you guys?
Cupa: Yes of course! Hold on; let me tell the others so they know. *runs upstairs*
Cody stood up with Mindy. The orange-haired teen looked around his house, wondering if he should expand it. He glanced at Mindy, who was looking outside at the monsters. From her expression, not only was she scared of them, but she was heartbroken that there were spiders outside trying to kill her too.
Cody: Mindy?
Mindy: What? Oh, hi.
Cody: Is everything okay? You look kind of sad.
Mindy: It's… nothing.
Cody: Are you sure?
Mindy: Yes but, *yawn* I'm tired. I should get some sleep.
Cody: I'll craft you a bed. Follow me upstairs. Everyone's waiting.
After leading her to the second floor and introducing her to everyone, Cody crafted some extra beds for Snowy, Andr, and Mindy. He made one for Iris too but instead she continued patrolling the house. He rested his head on his pillow, thinking about what a day it has been. He wondered if any one missed him back home. He sure did.
Part 3: Multiplayer mode
It had been three days ever since Cody had departed reality into minecraft. The news was buzzing worldwide. This is a scene from Channel 5 news that is currently playing on TV right now:
Reporter: This is Rachel Delany from Channel 5 news. Three days ago, a young 17 year old boy named Cody Dawson had suddenly disappeared from his own home. The police investigated the crime scene, but there was absolutely no evidence on Cody's disappearance. Although what was reported was his chair being toppled over, but that was it. The boy could've just run away but the mother explained that he was inside playing minecraft when the incident happened. Channel 5 had questioned family and friends if Cody had any enemies, but he didn't have any. Parents are becoming more and more worried because a similar incident occurred a few months ago when a few high school kids had suddenly disappeared from their households. There was nothing to report, no evidence to be found, except for the things they all had in common. One, they were all high school students. Two, they were 16 to 18 years of age. And three, they all played minecraft. No one knows what is happening exactly but the police do not seem to be investigating this any further.
The screen switched to an African American male wearing a police uniform. In the heading it said 'Chief of Police'
Chief of Police: It's crazy. No, it's insane. These kids were living such good lives from what I heard, but all of a sudden they just vanish into thin air from their own homes. It's just crazy. Either these kids ran off somewhere, or they were kidnapped by a pro. Cops are everywhere searching and asking about them. I understand the concern of their parents but without any evidence to go on with, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.
The screen was switched back to the reporter.
Reporter: What kind of crime leaves absolutely no evidence? Police are working hard but what happened is still a mystery. In other news-
The TV was shut off. Mrs. Dawson set the remote on the table in the living room.
Mrs. Dawson (thinking): Cody…
She buried her face in her hands, and she wept.
After school
Cody's friends, Matt and Darren, were talking outside campus along with Arianna. They all met Sunday, the day Cody promised to take them all out to pizza. Like Matt and Darren, Arianna was also concerned for Cody's safety.
Matt: So, what are we going to do?
Darren: I don't know. Cody's usually the one who plans everything. But now he's gone… *he was close to tears when he said the last sentence*
Arianna: Poor Cody… I really hope he's okay.
Matt: Look Darren, Cody's not dead. He's just missing. And I agree with Arianna. I really hope he's okay too.
Darren: But what do we do now?
Matt: I don't know, but Cody wouldn't want us to mourn him forever. I'm going home to play minecraft.
Darren: Wait, I think I know how to find Cody!
Arianna: Really!? How!?
Darren: You said that you were going to play minecraft right?
Matt: Yeah, so?
Darren: So the only other person I know who loves to play minecraft is Cody. And he plays it wherever he goes.
Matt: So you mean that wherever Cody is, he is most likely on a computer or on his phone…
Matt/ Darren: Playing minecraft!
Arianna: Wow, I never thought of that!
Matt: But how will we know if Cody is playing minecraft and on which device?
Darren: We'll search on the forums and ask. Or we can join his server and search for him there.
Matt: Doesn't sound too reliable… But what have we got to lose?
Arianna: Um, I actually play minecraft too. I can join his server as well as you guys.
Darren: Awesome! You know how to join a server right?
Arianna: Yes but I need to know which one I have to go to.
Darren: Just join the server named Geromianse129 and you'll meet us there.
Arianna: Okay. Well, I've got to go. Bye Darren! Bye Matt!
Matt/ Darren: Bye Arianna!
The light haired brunette went to the bus stop where the school bus was waiting for her. Matt looked at Darren with a concerned expression.
Matt: Darren, do you really think this is going to work?
Darren: Like you said: what do we got to lose? We are just going to have to try.
Matt: If you say so…
Darren: We'll find him Matt. C'mon, I'll drop you off at your house.
Later that night
Darren was the first to logon to Cody's server. Even he was unsure of his plan, but at least he had to try something. Once he was in, an abnormal static appeared on his screen.
Darren: Huh? Mom, something's up with my computer!
Then his entire screen lit up and a flash of light shone all over his room.
Darren: W-What is-?!
He was not able to finish his sentence, since he wasn't there when the light faded.
Matt's house
Matt (thinking): I hope Darren's right about this…
The dark haired teen scooted his chair closer to the computer. He was sipping a cup of soda from Burger King with a straw. When he joined Cody's server, the same static appeared on his screen. He barely had time to respond when the light absorbed him. His soda fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he found himself flying upside down through a golden swirling vortex. He straightened himself and saw a light at the end of the vortex. Matt stuck his hand out and touched it. It was dust which broke apart when his hand touched it and faded away. He looked forward at saw the light coming closer and closer…
Matt: Whooooooaaaaaa!
Inside a pink room with a pink bed and white nightstand with a mirror, Arianna activated her computer and joined the server she was told to go to. By then, a little girl had entered her room. She had long light brown hair, and held a notebook in both arms.
Leslie: Arianna! Can you help me with my homework?
Arianna: Okay Leslie, just bring your backpack here and we'll start.
Leslie: Okay!
By the time she left the room, static appeared on Arianna's computer. It made a strange noise.
Arianna: Huh?!
Leslie: *looks into her room* Arianna… what's going on?
Arianna: No! Stay back!
It was too late. Both girls shrieked, and the light appeared again and consumed them both. A few moments later, their mother entered the room with candy cane mittens and a tray with cookies on it.
Mrs. Jamison: Girls, would you like some-? Arianna? Leslie?
Inside minecraft
Darren opened his eyes and found himself in the strange cubed land.
Darren: Where am I? Am I in… minecraft?
He looked down at the chat screen and it said El Toro Leon joined the game. Then the chat boxed said TechnoMani321 joined the game. Darren looked to his right and saw Matt next to him.
Darren: Matt?
Matt: *looks at him* Darren? Is that you?
Darren: Matt what are you doing here?
Matt: What am I doing here? What are you doing here? How did you get in here?
Darren: That's what I wanted to ask you! What the hell happened? How did I get here?
Matt: Let me guess: your computer screen started to static strangely and then a light appeared and had you flying through a swirling vortex made out of glowing dust?
Darren: …! How did you…?
Matt: Same thing happened with me.
Darren: So that's what happened! But I'm not sure about that swirling vortex thing…
Both boys heard a hiss and both saw a bunch of creepers approaching them.
Darren: Oh shit, run!
Both of them ran at full speed away from the creepers. As they were running, the chat box then said FlowerPetal678910 joined the game. Princess Daisy joined the game.
Matt: Who the hell are FlowerPetal678910 and Princess Daisy!?
Darren: Just forget about it and just run!
Just then, FlowerPetal678910 (Arianna) and Princess Daisy (Leslie) spawned inside the world, a far distance from Matt and Darren. The young girl clutched her older sister.
Leslie: Arianna… What's going on? Where are we?
Arianna: Calm down Leslie. I… I think we're in minecraft.
An sssssssss… sent a shiver up both of their spines. They saw three creepers approach them.
Arianna: Run!
She grabbed her sister's hand but stopped in her tracks when she was about to make a break for it. More creepers appeared. Pretty quickly, they were surrounded with creepers, every one with a killing intent for them. Arianna picked up her sister and was forced to back up. Her back bumped into a tree, and she instantly found that there was no way of escape. They were trapped, doomed to die by a gang of creepers. Both girls clung onto each other hard and screamed like they never screamed before as the creepers closed the circle around them. A shadow of a creeper was in front of them. Their first entry into a new world, and they were greeted by an explosive death. It was that moment when all hope was lost.
Meanwhile
Matt and Darren had their hand on their knees, taking in air like they were going to dive right into the ocean.
Matt: My God… those creepers are fast!
Darren: I know… We were lucky enough to get away from them.
Darren leaned his back against a tree and rested. Matt walked up to him, his expression was confused.
Matt: Dude, you don't look like your minecraft skin.
Darren: What do you mean?
Matt: Aren't you supposed to look like some stupid bull when you're in minecraft?
Darren: Depends. Aren't you supposed to look like some retarded robot when you're in minecraft?
Matt: Touché. You know, even though we don't look like our skins, we don't look blocky either like how we were supposed to look.
Darren: Hey, you're right!
Matt: Well whatever happened, we'd better find some shelter and food and stuff before nightfall.
Darren: Yeah, let's do that.
Once they agreed to do that, they worked together to find everything they need to survive. Matt collected the wood and mined for coal, while Darren gathered wool and food for them to eat. They built their house when sunset had just arrived.
Darren: C'mon before the monsters show up!
Both boys went inside their temporary household. Darren handed Matt some raw pork.
Darren: It's raw, but since we have no furnace we can't cook it.
Matt: I think I can see that, but thank you anyway.
The house they built was just a one room home with only a crafting bench and two beds inside, alit with four torches. Zombies were banging on the door outside.
Darren: Ah ignore them. They won't hurt you as long as you're inside.
Matt: It's not that. I'm just getting worried.
Darren: *jokes* about what? the monsters?
Matt: About Cody.
Darren: Cody? How come?
Matt: Cody had disappeared without a trace. And the only evidence we found was that his laptop was still on and his chair was toppled over.
Darren: What does that have to do with what we're in now?
Matt: If my suspicions are correct, the reason Cody disappeared is the same reason we're here!
Darren: You mean that Cody…
Matt: could very well be here too? Yes. And yes.
Darren: *stands up* Well what are we waiting for!? Let's go find him!
Matt: Hold on. *grabs his shoulder* We can't go out now. Just wait until tomorrow, when there are fewer zombies out there.
Darren: *tightens his fist* …okay. Let's get some sleep if we want to start searching for Cody.
Matt: Good plan bro.
Both teens get into bed at the same time. Darren however, stayed up while Matt slept in bed. Worriness for his friend and confusion overwhelmed him. He just hoped by tomorrow, everything will be just fine.
Part 4: A dramatic reunion
A few days later
Two teen boys stepped out of the woods and into the open. The brown haired teen wore an iron chest plate, while the dark haired teen wore an iron helmet and boots. They each had an iron sword in their hands.
Matt: Dude, we've been walking for hours.
Darren: Quit complaining. You can go a little farther.
Matt: Hold on. *stops walking and points* look.
Darren looked in the direction Matt was pointing at, and saw a house.
Darren: I don't believe it. We're-
Matt: We're saved! Yahoo!
Darren: Ah- hey wait up!
As they ran towards the house, the structure became clearer and clearer to see. It was a two-story house with a medium-sized section attached to the right hand side of the house and the back. Matt held out his arm and stopped himself and Darren when they were right in front of the door.
Matt: Hold on, I just had a thought.
Darren: *puts Matt's arm down* What is it now?
Matt: What if no one lives here?
Darren: Dude, you've gotta be kidding me. Somebody had to build the house so they could live in it, am I right?
Matt: I honestly don't know. What if nobody's home?
Darren: Well we'll find out! *knocks on the door*
As he knocked, a certain orange-haired teen looked up from the book he was reading.
Voice: Coming!
The orange-haired teenage boy opened the door and looked at the two boys standing in his doorway.
? : Can I help you?
Matt: Hi um, my friend and I are kind of lost and we wondered if we can stay here for a little bit. We've been walking for a long time and we need to rest, so can we stay here?
?: Hold on. You guys look familiar to me.
Darren: But we've never met, right?
The orange haired teen studied them for a moment until he realized something that brought great joy to him. He didn't show it though.
?: This may sound kind of strange but, can you take off your armor?
Darren: Our armor? Why?
?: I just want to see something really quickly.
Matt: *sigh* Just do it.
Darren and Matt took off their armor and the orange haired teen smiled in recognition. Darren wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans, while Matt wore a blue patterned button up shirt and light blue pants. But someone like Cody Dawson wasn't the one to forget old friends so easily.
Cody: Matt? Darren? Is that really you?
Darren: Wait, how do you know our names?
Cody: It's me, Cody!
Darren: Cody?
Matt: *makes a fart sound* Don't make me laugh. Cody has brown hair and brown eyes. You're not him!
Cody: Want me to prove it?
Darren: Okay. Shoot.
Cody: Ahem. Darren when you were ten you slipped on your skateboard and I laughed. Your favorite color is blue yet you have a red car. Matt, you're a techno geek who helped me with that science project a few months back. Darren told me once that from time to time you go on your computer and you ma-
Matt/ Darren: Cody!
Both teens give him a bro hug and Cody returned it. When the embraced ended…
Matt: Too much information bro. Too much.
Cody: Well, at least you know now that I'm the real Cody.
Darren: But dude, what the hell happened to your hair? It's orange, and your eyes are blue!
Cody: It's a long story…
They all heard a voice inside Cody's house.
Voice: Hey!
Darren: Who was that?
Cody: That I think was…
Andr teleported right next to Cody. The ender lady was holding a golden block in her hands.
Darren: Whoa!
Matt: Holy shit!
Cody: Andr!?
Andr: *looks at him* Oh. Hi Cody.
Voice: Come back here you thief!
Mindy the spider girl came running and tried to take the golden block away from Andr, but of course she was too short to reach.
Andr: *sticks her tongue out*
Mindy: *pissed* Why you-!
Cody: *puts his arm in the way* that's enough you two.
Then Snowy appears and asks Cody about what was going on.
Snowy: Cody, what's going on?
Cody: Snowy! It's nothing I-
Cupa hugged him from behind.
Cody: Cupa!?
Cupa: Come hang out with me Cody!
Cody: Um… Cupa, I have a bit on my plate right now…
Mindy: *struggling to pry the gold block from Andr's hands* Cody!
Andr: *effortlessly grabbing on to the block* Cody…
Snowy: Cody?
Cupa: Cody!
Cody: One at a time please I- *remembers something* Oh that's right! I have to introduce you all to my friends! Everyone, this is-
He stopped at the sight of his friend's faces. They were white and were glaring at him.
Cody: Uh… heh heh. I can explain.
After
When everyone was inside the house, Cody introduced the girls to the guys.
Cody: Darren, Matt, these are my friends. This is Cupa, Snowy, Andr, and Mindy. Everyone, this is Darren and Matt, my two best friends.
Every girl: Hello.
Darren: Hi
Darren (thinking): Cody befriended all these girls!? Do they all live here too!?
Matt: Yo.
Matt (thinking): God damn you Cody! Leaving us guys for all these cute girls living in your house!
Then Iris walked through Cody's door. Matt and Darren looked back and were surprised to see the iron woman.
Cody: Just in time. Matt, Darren, the lady who walked in is my iron golem, Iris. Iris, this is Matt and Darren.
Iris: Hello there. Are you friends with Master Cody?
Matt/ Darren: *stuttering*
Cody: Yes they are.
Iris: Oh good. Also, there were a few mobs approaching your house but I took care of them all.
Cody: Awesome job Iris. Keep up the great work!
Iris: Thank you master. *leaves to continue patrolling*
Cody: She's a nice person. She calls me 'master' even though I tell her not to.
He was silenced when Matt and Darren looked back at him. There expressions were unamused.
Cody: *sweat drop* Hey girls, why don't you go outside and get to know each other more? I'll stay here and have a chat with my friends.
Mindy: Whatever.
Cupa: Okay!
Snowy: Sure.
Andr: …
Once they all left and after Andr closed the door, Cody started the conversation.
Cody: So guys, what's up? I'm glad you're here. You saw my girl friends- Uh, I didn't mean it like THAT, I meant that they were my friends and they were girls so I guess that makes them my girl fr-
Matt: *softly* Dude. What the fuck?
Cody: What do you mean? I was just saying that they were all my friends but they're all girls. That's it.
Darren: And do they all live with you?
Cody: Yeah pretty much. Not that we actually do anything like THAT.
Matt: Did you even think about your bros once Cody?
Cody: Matt of course I did! I would never forget! It's just that there was a lot going on and I-
Darren: *nods* Oh, I see how it is.
Cody: How what is?
Darren: *walks up to Cody and looks down on him as he spoke* You forget about us, the people you grew up with, like some… toy that you don't play with anymore?
Cody: *appalled* I didn't-
Darren: *interrupting him* you throw us aside like some gummy wrapper after you ate the gum?!
Cody: No I didn't I just… I…
Matt: Dude. *walks next to Darren* I'm ashamed at you.
Cody: It's not like that at all!
Darren: Really?
Cody: Yes really! What made you think otherwise?
Darren: Oh, nothing, just that while you were missing those three days we looked for you everywhere in town.
Cody: *struck speechless*
Darren: *went on* And yet here you are, living the good life with a bunch of girls living with you.
Matt: Did you get laid already?
Cody: No! It's just that-
Darren: Just what Cody? That you get an awesome life while we work?
Cody: *suddenly angry* Okay, you know what? I think that you two are just jealous of me living with all these girls in minecraft in my house.
Darren: *walks even closer to him* And do you know what Cody? Perhaps we are jealous. But that doesn't mean that we have to be separated.
Cody: *surprised* What did you say?
Matt: If… If you're going to live a good life, then at least include us in it.
Cody: Guys I…
He stood speechless for a moment when he saw Matt's face. Even Darren's expression changed.
Cody: *smiles* Okay. From now on, we stick together, no matter what.
Darren: And that's how it should be.
Cody: I missed you guys a lot.
Darren: And we missed you too.
Matt: *close to tears*
Cody: *voice cracks* Aw come here you sons of bitches.
He opened his arms and he hugged Matt and Darren, and they returned it.
Every girl outside: Aw…..
Cody hugged his friends like he never hugged anyone before, regardless of the fact that they were guys. He never knew how much he made everyone back home worry about him. And they never knew how much he missed them. At first, he got a little worried himself about how they were all going to get back, and about all the mobs that were attacking. But he instantly forgot about it. In any kind of situation that shows its face at anytime, he forgot to worry about it. At least he was with his bros now, to face these situations. Together. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
So was chapter 3 a good one? If it was or you want to comment about it, let me know by writing a review. By the way, I'm planning something big in chapter 4 that I know every butter fan will love. Oops! I gave too much away! *pause* Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and there is a lot more headed your way! Until then, Later!
