"So uh..Alex."
"Yes?"
We were riding some type of mob called a horse along the roads of the city. The streets were sort of dark,since the tower were blocking the sunlight so there were poles that illuminate the streets.Lots of other people were riding horses, but most were walking.
"Where exactly are we going?"I ask.
"To my apartment."She says.
"You mean like a sort of house? A fraction of a building?"
"Yes,absolutely."She answered.
"But your house is out if the city!" I say.
"That's right. But this is where I live. I stay in the other house for peace and quiet,hanging out with nature."She says quietly."In the city,is the noise enough to keep you awake all night."
"Cool."
As Alex came to a stop,so did I. She said. "We're not quite there yet, but I'm doing something in this building and then I'll come right back.So wait for me please." Hmm.. Suspicions arise. Why does everyone seem to be planning against me? Alex tied up the horses and went into the building. A few minutes later, I felt a gentle poke on my shoulder. I turned around. There was a man standing in front of me with brown hair and sort of tan skin. He started talking.
"Excuse me, have you seen a woman named Alex?"He asks.
"Yes" I say." She's my friend. She says she went to do something in that building."
"Thanks. And by the way,I haven't seen you around before."
"Oh that,I'm newly spawned."
"Ok. Thanks for helping me find her."And he went into the building.

Alex came out of the building with the man.
"Oh Cecilia, thanks for waiting." She says. "This is Steve. Steve,this is Cecilia."
"I believe we have met before." He says.
"Cecilia, Steve will be staying with us in my apartment. He is an old friend of mine and I'm willing to help him out. He has bin out of gold nuggets lately and hasn't bin able to pay for his apartment's fees for this month."
"I'm fine with it. Nice to meet you Steve."
When we arrived at Alex's apartment, it was bigger than I expected.
"I already have spare rooms."Says Alex."Choose your rooms, you will be staying here for quite a long time."
"Thanks for your hospitality." Both Steve and I said at the exact same time. We look at each other and giggled.
"You're very welcome, and I believe it is the time of sunset, so goodnight."
