The Enderdragon's Baker (A Minecraft Story)

I'm Not Mad; I'm Just Disappointed

"What did I do this time?" I jumped, my head popping up from the book I was using as a pillow. Not a very comfy one, either. Brine snickered and sat at one of the other chairs. I just pouted and pulled the blanket back around me.

When did I fall asleep? How long have I been asleep?? The last thing I remember is sitting down to wait for the ender rolls to cool. I promised Endie another batch since I ate the last of his other one, but I apparently fell asleep while cooling them. They should be fine. Probably.

"I just woke up, B, you've got to elaborate." I yawned.

"A new one? Really?" He scoffed and I smiled. He spotted the Ender rolls and teleported away, only to come back with about five of them.

"Don't eat them all, their for the enders." He waved his hand dismissively and I rolled my eyes.

"Notch said you were pissed with me. Mind telling me why?"

"How about the two weeks it took for you to not find me?" He almost choked at that. "Or the telling me you'd protect me only to let me get kidnapped. Twice."

"I thought I made up for that when I helped Notch tell off Creeps and Wither."

"And I appreciate it; But how many times am I going to end up kidnapped before you keep your word? Especially since both times were to help you." Brine set down his food and looked away from me. I don't mean to hassle him but I'm getting real tired of getting kidnapped, whether I'm in danger or not. "Look, I'm not pissed or even a little angry anymore. I'm just tired of being taken by people I can't even fight back."

"It's not like you had to, neither of them intended to hurt you." Brine mumbled.

"And what if it's the Fairways next time?"

Herobrine froze, giving me a surprised look. He was about to say something when footsteps shuffled in the hallway. That woke me up immediately and I grinned, saving this conversation for later. Ed peeked into the kitchen doorway and smiled at me weakly. This man...

"Eddy, aren't you supposed to be resting? You just spawned in, right?"

"Ann, you've been gone for two weeks, I think resting can w-" Ed lost his footing on the way over, Brine and I both panicking to get up and catch him. I caught one side and Brine caught the other, both of us wrapping his arm over our shoulder. "-Ok, so maybe I need to rest, but I wanted to see you."

"Than call me, dang it, your a dragon and loud as Nether!" I scolded. He chuckled awkwardly.

"Does seeing a pretty girl just make your brain shrink or something? You can barely walk!" Brine added.

In seconds, we were back in Ed's bedroom. Brine and I walked him to his couch and helped him lie onto it. The End crystal glowed a bit brighter and I let out a breath of relief. I wonder if this is a forever feeling. I hope not: grey hair is not my look. I noticed Brine glance at me but he looked away when I turned to him.

"We'll... continue that talk later. Don't let him do anything stupid." He telelported away before I could answer and I frowned. Wasn't today supposed to be peaceful.

"What was that about?" Ed groaned as he sat up and I helped him halfway through. I sighed deeply and sat down beside him, lying my head against his arm.

"What do you call an argument that isn't an argument?"

"Uh... I don't know. Is this some kind of riddle?" He chuckled. He lifted his arm so I was leaning against his side instead, him hugging me closer. It was comforting and helped me forget how awkward that conversation ended. Wait, nope, it's still there. "What was it about?"

"It's... nothing you have to worry about. Trust me."

"It's hard to do that when your so stubborn about doing everything yourself." He said with a laugh.

"Touche." I giggled, closing my eyes. What if I just go back to sleep? I imagine he would too, honestly. "So how was the first few days of panic?"

"Damn it. For someone so quiet, Endie really is a gossip." Ed huffed and I laughed. He is. He really, really is. "They were exactly how it sounds: chaotic. Endie told me Brine lost you and all I could think about was that stupid island your brother was at. Checking it didn't help; when I couldn't find you, I got angry and blew a hole through it. Needless to say, they can't really use that as a base anymore."

... I know I shouldn't be happy about him being so worried and angry at my disappearance, but I can't help it. Knowing he cares so much makes my face warm up and I could hide my big dumb grin. I hugged my arm around him and giggled. I glanced up and he looked surprised, and I was surprised to see his pale face a little redder, too. It just made me laugh more.

"Not like I'm condoning that, but it's sweet you care so much." I giggled. I relaxed again but kept my arms loosely around him. "I'm glad you all care so much, but I really need to get you and Endie some therapy or something. Your so violent when your worried."

"Hey, it's only fair that I get to know what he did when he told you what I did." He eventually said. I think he had to let the shock wear off. For someone so 'big and bad', he's adorable. "Spiiiill."

And so I did.
