Chapter 4 : Meet Your Doppelganger

(A/N : this story takes place after the Unmasked.)

Let me tell you something about living on Edwin's Farm, first you must be helping him with all the farm job on 7 AM, which including cleaning the pig cage, helping him harvest the fruit, milking the cow, and worst of all helping him cleaning a pig that always running in the mud puddles.

Second, you have to be careful about the mud puddle, they were everywhere on the farm, if you step on them, it took almost forever to get your foot out from them. This is why the reason they only stay here 1-2 days only, and I have four words to describe all these 'I. Hate. Farm work."

After we say goodbye to Edwin we went to the forest, "You sure this is the way?" I asked.

"We often going through this way, so don't worry." Maxwell answered.

"Why don't we just use the magic globe to get us to your home?"

He stunned for a second, "Uh, it's better that we just walking isn't it?"

I just smiled to him, "Why didn't I think of that?" I could heard him mutter.

We continued walking through the forest, luckily we were walking on a road in the forest, and the trees aren't too thick. We keep walking until we heard some strange noises coming from bushes. A figure appeared from the bushes, he wears a light blue rooster hat, headphones, red hoodie, a star necklace, green shorts, red socks, and blue shoes. He also had a evil grin on his face.

"Doppelganger." Maxwell grumbled.

"Who?" I asked.

"Doppelganger, he's my evil clone." He answered.

"We meet again at last Maxwell." Doppelganger greeted him.

"What do you want Doppelganger?"

"I just want to introduce my new friend."

"Friend? How people like you could have a friend?"

"You'll see Maxwell, you can come out now." He said to the bushes.

Another figure appeared, he wears gray rooster hat, orange headphone, blue hoodie, a star necklace, brown pants, white socks, and light blue shoes. A complete resemblance of me, he also has my blue eyes, and also an evil grin on his face.

"His name is Schwartz, lovely name huh?" Doppelganger said to us.

How did they have a resemblance of me and Maxwell? And most of all, where did they come from?!

"Now I still have some job to do, we'll leaving now Schwartz." He said before leaving with Schwartz.

"Who is Doppelganger?" I asked Maxwell.

"He-he's my evil clone." He stammered,"I may have created him when I tried to spawn myself when I first received my notebook."

"Does this mean, Lily and Sarah has an evil clone of theirs too?"

"I don't know, let's just hope they don't have one."

We continued walking for a moments until we saw a 3 story white house, it was located not far from the savanna on it's right, and a huge city that is visible from here on it's left.

"We're here." Lily said.

We walked toward the front door and Maxwell knocked the door, a man with a fedora hat, mustache, and brown suit opened the door. He suddenly hug Maxwell and Lily tightly.

"He-he-hey, look who's back!"

"Yeah dad. We're just staying on Edwin's Farm for 2 days. That's what we do every month." Maxwell said to him.

"And you bring your friends here?"

"Yes dad, they're Scribblenauts too dad. Alex, Sarah this is Edgar, my father. Dad this is Alex and Sarah." Maxwell introduce us.

"Nice to meet you sir." I said to him.

"It's good then, now get inside, your mom is worried about you two."

The house is quite comfortable, there is a fireplace near the living room, the dining room has a very long table, on the edge of the table a woman with pink rooster helmet like Lily's and brown clothes sat.

"There you are sweetie." She said as Maxwell and Lily hug her.

"Mom, this is our friend, Alex and Sarah. They are Scribblenauts too." Maxwell explained to her.

"It's good then. You two now have a friends to play. Alex, Sarah, Maxwell will show you two around." She said to us.

Maxwell shown us the house, the bathroom, the bedrooms in 2nd floor (I have no idea how did they have so many bedrooms.), and the playroom on the 3rd floor. After he finished, my phone vibrated and I pulled it out, I got a phone call from my friend, Sophia.

"Uh, excuse me for a minute?" I asked.

"Sure." Lily answered.

"Thank you." I replied as I answer the call.

Sophia : "Alex! Glad you answer it."

Alex : "What is it Soap?"

Sophia : "I've been called you many times, and you didn't answer it. What's happening?"

Alex : "My phone is kinda low on battery, so I turn it off and charge it."

Sophia : "And your house is empty, the door's unlocked, where are you?"

Alex : "I just traveling with my friend Maxwell and Lily."

Sophia : "You never told me about them, and you didn't told me that you're leaving."

Alex : "Listen, I'm just gone for a few days."

Sophia : "So, where are you now?"

Alex : "I-I have no idea."

Sophia : "Just as I expected, maybe you sucked into a game like those story on FanFiction."

Alex : "I'm not sucked into a game, I got a letter from them, and they was the one who brought me here. How did the hell you could call me in here?"

Sophia : "Dunno, what did they told you about?"

Alex : "They said I had a potential, a potential to be a Scribblenauts, and they gave me a magic notebook and globe to Sarah. Then they offered us to be Scribblenauts, I accept and I have no idea where are we."

Sophia : "Just I expected, you're sucked into a..."

Alex : "I'M NOT SUCKED INTO A..."

Sophia : "Alright, alright, chill out man, I'm just kidding. Anyway, I've to get home now, so bye."

Alex : "Alright, bye."

After I hung the phone I turned around and saw Maxwell leaning against the wall, and Lily entered a room next to him.

"You heard the conversation, aren't you?" I asked him.

"No, I heard the whole conversation. And tell me, who is Soap you talking to?" He asked me.

"Soap is a nickname for Sophia, me and my friend always call her like that because she wants us to, and yeah... She's one of my friend."

"And, what is she doing every day?"

"You must be wondering huh?" I sighed, "Alright, she like other kids in your age, like to hangout with friends, reading and writing stories for fanfiction, and yeah she's like to play some boys game."

A smile appeared in his face.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't tell me you're going to send her here."

"Maybe, I'll think of it later."

I rolled my eyes and entered the room that Lily has entered, I saw Sarah and Lily chatting and stopped when they saw me.

"Psst, Alex come here, and close the door." Lily said to me.

I closed the door and approached Lily.

"Tomorrow is Maxwell 13th birthday, and we have to make a surprise for him." Lily told me.

"Aren't you and Maxwell are siblings? I thought you guys were born in the same time." I asked.

"Maxwell was the first to born, a minute before midnight. And second is me, a few minutes after midnight." She answered.

"Alright, so what's the plan?" I asked.

"That is what we talking about, do you have any ideas?" Sarah asked me.

"Hmm... How about you guys set the surprise on the 1st floor, meanwhile I will scared him from his room to downstairs." I explained.

"So, what costume are you going to wear to scare him? Vampire? Zombies? Or Slenderman?" Sarah said as she and Lily chuckled.

"We'll going to discussing it more tomorrow, 5 AM, at dining room." Lily said.

I nodded.
