As Arius continued her trek into the woods, she wondered about her past. Why did she forgor everything? What happened exactly? She figured all she could do is find more people who know her. She just wanted answers. Since Dream logged off, that's all she could do.
The forest was dark and crowded by leaves. Occasionally, a bee would buzz by her or a random sheep would bleat at her. She'd been walking for about 10 minutes now. Coming across a clearing, she stopped to look around. Every part of the forest looked the exact same. She looked up at a tree above her, and decided to climb to the top to see better. Hopping up through the leaves, she made it to the top.
Looking around only showed more forest, more forest and more forest. Except...
"What the fuck?" She said, peering in the distance. A big red Kum & Go sign glowed atop the millions of trees, at least 100 blocks away. Is this a new mod or something? She shrugged, and decided to head towards it.
Finally reaching the gas station, Ari observed it. It looks about the same as any other Kum & Go would. Just in Minecraft. There may be some supplies or a map or something she could use in there. She pushed open the doors and the smell of donuts and cleaner greeted her. I should grab some juul pods while I'm here, she thought. She noticed a couple people in the store, mainly the workers and a few customers. There was a man and woman ordering at the deli, and what must be their pet cat standing between them.
Arius made her way to the back of the store and grabbed a Dr. Pepper from the coolers. She picked a bag of Funyuns out, and made her way towards the donuts. Deciding if she wanted one or not, she could overhear the two people ordering food.
"Hmm... I might go with a salad, or perhaps a turkey sandwich..." The woman trailed off. "I'll have a burger please!!" The cat said to the worker. The cat? "Ooh and make it double!" The man spoke. The worker nodded and began their order. Why do gas stations always have the weirdest people?
Ari decided to skip the donut and made her way to the cashier. "This and a pack of juul pods please, 4 pack 5%." She pulled out her wallet, which had about 45 emeralds in it. As she waited for the cashier to return, her wallet was suddenly gone from her hands.
She whipped around. The cat from the deli had her wallet between his paws. "Haha! Thanks lady for the money! You're very kind!" He said in a heavy New York accent. "Hey!" Ari tried to grab her wallet, but the cat was too quick for her. "Sorry Lady, no refunds on donations!" The cat had a very smug look on his big head. The man and woman from before walked over to them. "Meowth, what did we say about stealing peoples wallets?" The red haired woman said with a scolding tone. The cat, Meowth, sighed. "Ya not steal wallets in public places and only when you get someone alone..." He begrudgingly handed the wallet back to Arius. She sighed. "Thanks, I guess..." she looked up at the woman, and noticed that she was kinda hot. The man they're with walked up to join them. Uh oh, he's hot too. He had blue hair almost to his shoulders and parted in the middle. "Did I miss something over here? Who's this?" He asked the two. "No James, just Meowth being a bad criminal." The red haired woman responded. "But aren't we all bad criminals? Aren't criminals inherently bad?" The blue haired man asked. "No, it's just you." The cat said, looking annoyed. Ari heard the cashier clear their throat. She turned to finish checking out, trying not to think about the strange people behind her.
Finally, she got out of the Kum & Go. As she walked away, she saw the trio walk out the doors as well. The man named James was holding what looked like a double cheeseburger and a bottle of bug juice. The woman was eating a sub sandwich, and the cat had a whole bag full of snacks and candy. As Ari watched them, she noticed a car pulling up going way to fast. The car ran straight into the trio, knocking them high into the sky. "Looks like Team rocket's blasting off agaaiiinnn!!!" They shouted as they went towards the moon. A little twinkle appeared in the sky.
Ari figured it was a good time to get the fuck out of this place. She started to continue her journey into the woods.
