Okay, so someone in the comments on wattpad... I think it was that_minecraft_girly. Anyways, she wanted me to update this daily, and I only update weekly. As you know, there's a big difference between daily and weekly, and now I feel really bad, so... I might POSSIBLY update TWICE on weekends. MAYBE. PROBABLY. POSSIBLY. HOPEFULLY. I DON'T KNOW. Thanks, though, for all the comments/review on fanfiction . net and wattpad, guys. I literally love you all so much. :) Anyways, take this boring chapter.

Games

Ch 3: The G-Word

Three hours later, we've all got our rooms built. Mine has walls and a floor of budder, a budder-colored bed, a budder-colored desk, and three budder-colored chairs surrounding a budder-colored TV.

It's missing something...

OH! BUDDER! THAT'S WHAT IT'S MISSING! I quickly place a random budder block in the middle of the room. Good, now it's perfect.

Okay, so you know that idea I was talking about earlier, the one that required that my room be on the first floor? Yeah, I went through with that. There's a staircase hidden beneath my budder bed, and it leads to a small underground 'lair' of sorts. It's basically just a room of budder with a large desk and some paper on it. Whenever I find out something new about the GameMaster, I'll write it down in this secret room. I also have a small glass tube in the corner of my secret room.

Wanna know why?

Well, I realized something while I was building my buddery room of budderiness. You see...

I still have my Skybrine powers.

I noticed this while decorating the secret room. I was placing torches everywhere, and I realized there was one spot in the room that just refused to light up. Out of habit, I pulled off my sunglasses and stared at the dark block in an attempt to light it up with my eyes. I forgot that, since I had been stripped of my powers when I entered the game, it wouldn't work.

But it worked.

I took out a glass block as quickly as possible and used it as a mirror. Sure enough, my eyes were still glowing; I guess my sunglasses kept everyone from noticing my eyes. They must have kept the GameMaster from noticing my eyes, too.

So, knowing that the GameMaster will eventually realize I still have my powers and then take them from me, I made a glass cylinder made specially to hold powers. I'm not going to explain that any more than I already have.

Now that my room is finished, I can check up on the others. I open the wooden door to my room and turn to the right. Ty's room is directly to the right of mine, and Ian's and Quentin's rooms are across from us. "Hey, Ty, you done yet?" I call, knocking on his door.

His door swings open. "Yeah, almost," he says in a quiet voice. Man, I'm really not used to Quiet Ty. It's like we've gone back in time to the week when we first met.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure." Ty steps back and allows me to enter, and, dude, his room is awesome. "Do you like it?"

"Do I like it!?" I spin around, taking in the glowing neon green and black checkered floor, the beautiful quartz walls, and the black and green furniture. "I love it! It's so... MAJESTIC!"

He giggles, smiling slightly. Aw. "Thanks. Can I see your room?"

I nod, saying "Of course," in a horrendously terrible British accent. Ty's smile widens, and he follows me to my room. "Welcome to Sky's Majestic Room of Budderiness."

Ty's eyes go wide as he glances around the room. "Oh, wow... That's a lot of gold. It looks cool though."

I almost pass out then and there. "T-TY!" I screech, falling down dramatically on my budder-colored couch.

"What? What's wrong?" he asks worriedly.

I put my hand on my forehead and sigh loudly. "You... You've done the unspeakable!" Again!

"What? What did I do!?"

"You- You said the..." I lower my voice to a whisper. "The g-word."

"The g-word? What's that?" Ty asks.

"G-G... G-G-G... I can't say it! It's against my religion!"

"What? God? I didn't say that."

"No! G-gol... g... g-g-go... gol... I CAN'T DO IT! I CAN'T!"

"Oh, you mean 'gold?'"

"SETO!" I scream. Seto immediately runs down the stairs to my room.

"What is it? Is someone hurt? Did Ian try to-" He pauses, looking at my dramatically fallen form and Ty's confused expression. Then he sighs, looking at Ty. "You said the g-word, didn't you?"

"I don't see why it's such a big deal!" Ty shouts. "It's just gold!"

I wail loudly, rolling off the couch and onto the floor.

"He has this thing with..." Seto whispers, so I can't hear him (but I can), "gold." I glare at him, and he rolls his eyes. "He calls it budder."

"Why?"

"Because," I respond. "It's budder. Just call it what it is and we won't have a problem, buddy."

"But it's not budder, it's gol-" Ty begins.

Seto slaps his hand over Ty's mouth. "No. Don't say it. Sky only has so much self-control, don't go pushing your luck with the g-word."

Ty sighs and peels Seto's hand off his face. "Fine, I won't say it. Notch, you guys are all mental."

I sit up on the floor. "Oh, Ty! Don't say that, it's mean!"

Ty huffs. "Let me get this straight. I call you mental and you gently reprimand me, saying that it's mean. I call budder 'gold,' and suddenly you're dying on the floor. What?"

"HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE G-WORD!" I yell, covering my ears. "LALALALALALA!"

"JUST TELL ME WHY YOU HATE THE WORD 'GOLD' SO MUCH!"

"AHHH! HE SAID IT AGAIN! SETO, HELP, I THINK TY'S BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE SQUIDS!"

Seto sighs and walks over to me. "Sorry, Ty," he apologizes, though I don't know what for. Ty's the one saying the word. "Sky is weird sometimes. I have a feeling you guys would be best friends if you'd stop saying 'gold,' though."

"SETO! NO, NOT YOU, TOO! THE SQUIDS ARE GETTING TO EVERYONE!" I shriek.

Seto rolls his eyes. "Sorry, Sky, but this is for your own good." Then his fist is flying at my head, and I'm collapsing on the ground, for real this time.

xXx

I groan and slowly sit up, rubbing my head. "What..."

"Sky!" Ty exclaims, getting up out of a buddery chair and speed-walking toward the couch I'm lying on. "You're awake!"

"Uh, yeah... What happened?"

"Seto knocked you out after you went crazy about me saying... budder. You looked like you took the hit pretty hard, but Seto said you'd be fine. Still, I wanted to make sure you were okay, so I stayed with you... You know you've been out for four and a half hours now?"

My eyes widen. "What? Well, actually, I'm not surprised. Seto sometimes forgets how powerful he is. He also often forgets how intolerant I am to life in general. He could probably just poke me in the head and I'd pass out." Ty laughs. "Thanks for staying with me though." I try to stand up and instead end up falling back down on the couch. "Oh, my head..."

Ty sits down next to me, getting up on his knees so he can look at my head. "Don't move too much," he instructs as he tilts my head around, separating the hair slightly. "You've got a huge bump on the right side of your head. That's gonna hurt for a few days."

I sigh. "It's okay."

He smiles sympathetically. "I'm sorry."

"Hey, don't be. Seto's the one who punched me, right?" I chuckle.

Ty frowns. "Yeah, but I'm the one who made you mad... That's why Seto had to knock you out."

"You didn't make me mad, Ty. I'm just kind of insanely obsessed with budder. It's definitely not healthy. Seto probably expected me to start gathering supplies for an attack on the squids soon if someone didn't calm me down. And knocking someone unconscious is a pretty good way to calm them down, in my opinion."

"So if I started going crazy and you needed to calm me down, you'd just punch me?"

"No. I'd get Seto to punch you."

"I thought you said Seto didn't know his own strength? Wouldn't it hurt more to have Seto hit me than it would to have you hit me?"

"Maybe, but I wouldn't be able to hit you."

"Why not?"

Snap. What do I do? I'm not sure how he'd respond to 'Because I'm deeply in love with you and have been for several years now.' Uh... "Because I'm a nice person," I cover up. Okay, yeah, that works. Niceness.

"Hmph. Well, a nice person would want me to hurt less, right?"

"Kay, fine, I'd get Ian or Quentin or Jason to do it."

"Why not Mitch or Jerome?"

"'Cause they're PVP masters. And they're idiots."

"Oh." He's silent for a moment. "So how do you and Seto know each other? No one else seems to have any idea who anyone else is..."

"What if I told you that we used to be best friends, all of us, but then we signed up for a game show that erased everyone's memories but mine and Seto's?"

"... I'd call Seto and tell him you're going crazy again."

"What if he confirmed what I said?"

"... Is that really what happened?" Ty asks.

I nod. "Yup."

"Well, that sucks," Ty groans, laying his head on the back of the couch. "Were Ian and Quentin dating before we all lost our memories?"

"No, but they should have been."

"Were Mitch and Jerome?"

I laugh. "No, neither were they, but, just like Ian and Quentin, they should have been."

Ty smiles. Then he frowns, looking worried. "Will the dude who erased our memories be mad that you told us he erased our memories?"

"Um... I hope not?"

"ATTENTION, PLAYERS! BUILDING TIME IS UP! PLEASE MAKE ANY LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR ROOMS. WHEN YOU ARE DONE, EXIT THE LIVING QUARTERS AND ENTER THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR," the GameMaster's voice screams over some invisible intercom.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL!" I screech.

"NEITHER DO YOU!"

I roll my eyes. "Fine, be that way," I mutter, standing up slowly. I groan at the intense headache that comes with standing. Geez, Seto, I really hate you right now.

Ty's eyes widen. "Sky, you're not supposed to move a lot!" He stands up next to me and puts his arm around my waist, balancing me and letting me put some of my weight on him.

Seto, I really love you right now.

xXx

Okay, so yeah, it's a little boring right now. But the drama is coming soon!

And, luckily for you, I will most-likely never skip an update on this story, because I've got most of it already written. So that's good, right? The story's moving slowly, but it's still moving!

*sigh* Ever so slowly...

Baiii.
