Minecraft YouTubers But In Space

c-4

Sparklez looked at Tubbo, who seemed a bit worried. "What's going on?" He whispered, trying not to attract attention from others in the crowd.

Tubbo looked up at him cordially. "Are they all trusting in us?" Sparklez understood the weight that his young friend felt on his shoulders.

He smiled at him sympathetically, tilting his head. "Yeah, but I won't let them bully you too much," he assured him, ruffling his hair. He was willing to share that weight with him so it wouldn't be as hard to hold up.

All 108 people followed their three advisers as they walked to their community. They were placed very near c-2, so they were looking forward to trading with each other. Tubbo thought about the many benefits of merging their communities but also the problems that could come up. Tubbo's mind raced with ideas that flew through his mind, trying to think of an invention that could be useful to them all.

"Captain!" Tubbo gasped, making his friend turn to him quickly, alerted from the boy's tone. "We should make hiking trails! Once the Adventurers' Group is made up and explored in different areas to make sure they're safe, we can start the construction. I think the other communities would be glad to have something to do too." Tubbo finished, Sparklez grinning at him.

"You're pretty smart, kiddo," he said to the young boy, patting his head. "We'll have to see; we need to set up the Adventurers' Group still." Tubbo nodded his head, accepting the counsel.

Tubbo sat on an empty crate, watching people pass by and conversing with them to brighten up their day. Fundy went to the mines with 62 other members, talking casually with them. Sparklez helped fill and organize the storage house with the remaining 46 people. It came to be evening, and the advisers just let everyone split off into their own houses. They were to leave curtains closed if houses were occupied since every home already had them open. That would allow people a taste of independence, something that Tubbo felt was most important for a community. The advisers had the most elegant house, but no one was bothered because they knew they had earned it.

The advisers sat at the table in the dining room, eating some soup Sparklez had made. Fundy finished quickly, then looked impatiently at the others. Tubbo and Sparklez finished their food, and Tubbo reached for everyone's dishes, starting to get up. Fundy gripped his shoulder.

"Sit."

Tubbo sat.

"What are we going to call ourselves?" Fundy asked, looking to Sparklez. Sparklez just leaned back in his chair, waiting for Tubbo's input before he said anything (he valued his young friend's opinion more than his own). After sitting in silence with Tubbo said nothing, Sparklez spoke up, asking a plausible question.

"Is it necessary to name ourselves?" He asked Fundy, crossing his arms.

Fundy looked at him funny. "I guess not, no... But it would make us stand out." Sparklez chuckled, confusing Fundy.

"Don't you think that all the other advisers have thought that picking a name would set them aside from everyone else?" Fundy sputtered at Sparklez's words but said nothing. Tubbo nodded his head.

"I think that's a valid point since it's normal to want to be unique," Tubbo said slowly. Sparklez looked at Fundy, smiling, knowing what was coming: a full-on explanation of his thoughts and a firm conclusion that would make them have to consider different possibilities. "We'd be unique if we chose to stay as just 'c-4,' but if we chose a name, we would also be choosing a unique name that's different from everyone else's. I don't think there's any harm in picking a new title, and I don't think there's any harm in just keeping the name we have."

Fundy and Sparklez looked at each other, grinning. They admired the youngest's thoughts, listening to his talk about them intently. Tubbo stopped when Fundy let out a snicker.

"Did- did I mess up?" Tubbo asked anxiously.

"No, Tubbo," Sparklez chuckled, sitting back up in his chair, amused.

"You're just being smart," Fundy laughed brightly, getting up from his chair to ruffle Tubbo's hair. Tubbo dodged, giving him a playful glare. They moved from their seats in the dining room to the living room, talking about different duties and things that needed to be done. 454-1C's moon rose in the night sky, and the stars came out. Tubbo looked out the window longingly from his spot on the couch.

"Can we go look at the stars?" He blurted. The other two advisers blinked, exchanging glances. Tubbo looked at the Captain, then panicked, seeing the pleased smile on his face. The tests to become an advisor were kind of stressful, and one of them was providing a just reason for everything you do. "Um... The stars are going to be more visible since there's no pollution to crowd the atmosphere yet," he stammered.

"Why not?"

-

The stars were definitely more visible than anyone thought they would be. Looking at the twinkling stars was refreshing, much like the feeling they got when first stepping onto the soil of 454-1C for the first time. It was nice to feel grounded (literally).

"Are you going to be like the Greeks, Tubbo?" The Captain questioned, watching as the boy's eyes scanned the sky.

"What do you mean?" Tubbo asked.

Fundy's eyes lit up. "Oh! I think he means that you're like an astronomer because it's believed that the Greeks made up some constellations that were back on earth." Sparklez nodded his head.

"That would be pretty cool to make up new constellations," Tubbo said, smiling.

Silence swelled in the sweet air, and the only thing missing was the sound of crickets chirping or frogs croaking.

"... Did you notice that stars don't twinkle in space? They only do that because of the atmosphere," Tubbo said, grinning up at the sky. He was glad to have an atmosphere again.
