"Punz?" He was sitting on his porch steps, solemn as ever. I'd never seen him in such a gloomy mood, even during the roughest of times he was usually relatively upbeat. His head was down and it looked like he was crying.

I rushed to his side and gave him a side-hug. Softly I spoke, "Honey didn't show?" My friend nodded his head and raspily said, "I just thought we had something special." I comforted him for a minute then replied, "Well if I ever see that b- I'm gonna tell her off real good!" I chuckled, "You've always got me pal!"

"Thanks Y/n, I know you always have my back." My heart swelled at his words.

"Are you gonna be okay?" I leaned my head on his shoulder, it was an oddly romantic moment between the two of us. Punz sighed and cleared his throat. Pausing for another moment he said, "I'll be just fine. Sometimes I wish there was a place without all of this. Where people can simply be happy. A place where people can gather, and aren't so lonely and isolated all the time." It was officially time to launch my new idea.

"What about L'womanburg?" Punz raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Nervously I explained my idea about building a community, or a nation away from everything. A place where Dreams wrath wouldn't affect anything (not like he was doing much these days anyway) and everyone could work together.

"I'm intrigued," His face changes suddenly, "Let's do it. Why not? Otherwise what else are we going to do; wander around like headless chickens seeking adventures that we've already played? There is so much to do, to build, why not just do it with somebody else? The only thing though..." He contemplated, "Is the name. I feel like it should be more inclusive."

"That's a very fair point," I remarked, "I guess L'womanburg just clicked for a reason. Why don't we call it..." I stopped mid-sentence, "I was going to say Dream Smp Two, but I don't want Dream nor smp in the name. It's more than that, it's a country!"

"Agreed! How about- how about 'The End?'" A look of confusion flashed on my face, but I soon realized the metaphor. It just didn't seem fitting though. Who knows what the future would bring? Something so firm like that, so ridgid, wouldn't leave room for what was to come. More brainstorming for the name would definitely have to be done.

"Or," I was awestruck with my brilliant idea, "The Beginning. The beginning of a new life! Think about it, Punz, doesn't it seem warm and inviting?"

"Y/n I know this might be kind of soon after me and Honey and all or whatever, but-" He took my hands, "I really like you. I don't want to ruin our friendship or anything, but maybe our beginning could be together?" My eyes lit up and I smiled.

"I thought you'd never ask..." I grabbed him sort of roughly and pressed my lips against his. It was a bit awkward for the first second, but we soon got into a little rhythm. When we finally pulled away, a smile said it all. This was going to work.
