*These events take place eleven years in the future*

CUPA'S POV

I'm not a great person. I'm just your average, boring creeper girl. Which is more than I can say for my dad. He was a very famous scientist, a geologist to be exact. He's been all over Minecraftia, and he always sent me stuff that he had collected over the years. Also, whenever I asked him why he left, he'd always give a different story each time. Meh, must have had a few mishaps, everyone does. I live in the Creeper Kingdom,which I've never left. And I have my own house, it's not my dads. At least it was, because one day he told me to take the house, because he needed to leave for a very long time, perhaps without communication. He told me that if anything should happen, all I needed was behind the iron door in the basement. After that, he left, and I'm still waiting for him. He also told me not to open the door until the note block tune played, but I didn't know what it meant. Until today. I was sitting on a couch in my living room, doing what I did whenever I was bored. That is, taking a stack of gravel, placing the blocks down one at a time, and punching them until I had a stack of flint.

That's when I heard it. A tinkling, melodic tune, that brought back memories by the metric shit ton. That was when I remembered my dad's instructions, the ones that said aboout opening the iron door in the basement. I jumped up from the couch and ran down the stairs. I saw the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. After an hour of trying, I was nearly ready to blow it up. Then I remembered Basic Redstoning 101 in school. After my dad left, I couldn't bear to go back to school, but it was a good thing that I learned that iron doors can only be opened via a redstone signal on my last day there. I quickly grabbed a lever off one of the walls and put it by the door frame. I pulled it, and it opened. Inside was very cold and very wet. Then I heard something that scared the gunpowder out of me. A voice in the shadows.

''Hello?''

''AHH! WHAT THE NETHER ARE YOU DOING IN MY BASEMENT?'' I yelled out in panic.

''Ow! Stop shouting! Ohh, my head...''

''Sorry, I was startled. I didn't expect to see anyone down here. How long have you been here?''

''I don't know, my head hurts so much...''

''Well, whats your name?''

''Steve.''

''Well, Steve, why don't you come out of the shadows, and we can maybe find out what the Nether is going on here.''

''Okay.''

When I saw Steve, I nearly fainted because he was so hot...

STEVE'S POV

The first thing I saw when I left the corner of the room was a girl.

And not just any girl, she was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She had gorgeous auburn hair which tumbled out of a cute creeper hoodie, which seemed to bring out her bright, sunset yellow eyes. I fell in love as soon as I saw her.

''Are you okay?'' I don't know how long you've been in there.''

''Neither do I.'' I managed to say, with some difficulty, as I was lost in her eyes.

''I can get you some food and stuff to help you get back on your feet. I have something to help with your headache too.'' She seemed a little bit disoriented, not unlike myself. She left, then came back with a golden apple, which I quickly ate. As my strength returned, I decided to get to know this beautiful girl.

''I never caught your name, you know.'' I told her.

She flashed a cute smile. ''Sorry, I never told you. I'ts Cupa.''

''Thats a nice name.''

''It's from the Latin word cupio, meaning want or desire.''

''Wow, you know Latin?''

''No, that was my dad. Geologist and part time archeologist.''

''Sounds like a great guy. Is he home?''

''No, he's been gone for years.''

''Years?''

''Yeah, but I don't know why. He kept changing his story. The last time I saw him, he was all skittery, almost like something was...after him...'' She trailed off.

''Maybe we should drop this, and go outside.''

''Yeah, good idea.''

''Oh, and there's something I want to ask you.''

''Go for it, I'm an open door.''

''Isn't the expression 'an open book'?''

''Okay, whatever you say. What's your question?''

''Where did you get that cute hoodie? It's nice.''

''Meh, its just creeper fashion.''

''Oh, I see. It's just...did you say creeper?''

''Yeah, because that's what I am, a creeper.''

I jumped out of the way and onto the table. Cupa didn't seem that concerned, but she wasn't happy. She may be an amazing girl, but she was a creeper, and creepers are very dangerous.

''Uhh, Steve? Can you, you know, get off my table?

''Please don't blow me up! I wasn't trying to hurt you or anything?''

''What the Nether are you talking about? I know my way around a TNT block, but I'm not going to hurt you!''

''You're a creeper! Creepers blow players up!''

''But... I...Did you say player?''

''Stop trying to copy me, and tell me what's going on!''

''I'm as clueless as you, but I think I know who can help...''

Cupa ran to the kitchen, where she had gotten the golden apple, and punched the buttons of a green cellphone.

''Hey... I have a really wierd problem...No...No...You know, I'll just come over...Oh, wow...Yeah, okay. So, the Biometanical Gardens?

Okay...Alright,bye!''

''She put down the phone, and turned to me.

''Okay, Steve,we're going to straighten this mess out, then maybe we can...y'know, be friends...''

''I was taught that you should never be friends with mobs. I have heard that song, and where I'm from,creepers are when I saw you, I knew there was something different here. Do all creepers look like you do?

''Yeah, more or less.''

''Well, I'm stumped, because the only creepers I've ever seen look like this.'' I drew a picture of a creeper on a piece of scrap paper, and showed it to her.

''Oh, my Notch... this is getting wierd. C'mon, it's time we went to the Biometanical Gardens. It's in the middle of town.''

''Lead the way,Cupa.'' I said to her.
