Tom's POV

I walk through the village and towards some hills in the distance. I have a stone sword in my hand, and I twirl it around in the air as I look around. I can hear a river flowing in a distance. Being in minecraft is pretty epic, if you ask me. It's like a long, continuos minecraft animation. Or being in another dimension. But so many things were different; in the game, minecraft, you can only sleep in beds, and only at night. We slept on the floor and sure, it wasn't comfortable but no one was here to stop us from doing it. Also we could just nap all day if we wanted to, no one could stop us. Well, it's not all this good. In the game, you can sprint endlessly, forever. Well we can sprint for as long as we can sprint in real life, which kinda sucks but it's more realistic. If I could just mysteriously start sprinting and never stop, I would get a little worried, so at least I know
I'm me.
I approach the hills, and start to climb. Once I get to the very top, I sit down and look out. This place does look rather incredible. I get up and walk to the other end of the hill and I can see a desert with many cacti. I'm very interested and keen on further exploring, but I should really look for some food and wool. I walk past a few trees, and bingo! There's a whole flock of sheep! I walk over to them and look down at the sword in my blocky hand. I pull up the sleeves of my tux (I really don't know why I thought a tux was a good idea. And being a zombie? Creativity, huh?) but I can't bring myself to do it. I kill all kinds of things in the game, but when I am actually here with a sword in my hand, I can't even think of killing the sheep, or the little piggies over there. A fluffy sheep looks up at me. Oh they're such cute omg. I think about what I should do, then I take my sword and use it to help me cut the wool of the sheep. They get quite scared but they can't protest, so I carry on cutting the wool of them until I had twelve pieces. Perfect for four beds! I carefully walk down the least steep side of the hill and then walk in the direction which I came from. I look up and squint. It's midday.
I enter the village then I enter the little hut which we stayed in over night, and realise that it's empty and even all the book shelves and furnaces are gone. Then I remember that Sonja and the others said they were gonna go to build in the area where we chopped down the trees yesterday. They even took the door.

I walk towards the forest and sure enough find Tucker, Jordan and Sonja building quite a decent sized wood hut.

"Heeeyyyy!" I shout as I walk closer. They look up at me and wave. Jordan was on the roof of the hut, putting down wooden stairs for aesthetic purposes I believe. Tucker is placing windows. He must have grabbed some sand earlier. Sonja is more of the interior designer, swapping the dirt floor with cobblestone and arranging furnaces so they are stacked upon each other. I helped her place the last one on top, then looked around. This is a pretty cool house. It even has a staircase leading to the first floor. Jordan walks down it and announces, "it's finished!"

"I have enough wool to make us all beds. I just couldn't bring myself to actually kill anything though. But I see you've made a little farm outside, so we have plenty of bread for now, yeah?" I say. Tucker nods and opens a chest. I walk over to the crafting table and make four beds. "May I go upstairs?" I ask and run up them as everyone else follows. "Dude, this so cool."

"Pretty gnar buckle, right?" Jordan says, smiling. There aren't any actual bedrooms, just one big room upstairs. I place two beds on one side of the room keeping an equal distance between them. " For me and Jordan," I say pointing to the two beds I just placed, then Sonja put a chest beside each one and even signs reading who the bed belongs to. Then I turn around to face the other wall, and look up at Sonja and Tucker. I give them a cheesy grin and place their beds right next to each other to make a double bed. Sonja rolls her eyes and laughs. Then we all go and lay down on the soft red beds. This is so much better than sleeping on the floor. "It's like a big marshmallow."
After testing out the beds, we go down the stairs, and decide to make a small stairway downwards. I dig out a small staircase, two by two blocks. After going down a little bit, I run into coal, which I immediately mine and make plenty of torches. I light up the stairway, and come back up. I give 30 torches to everyone, and they run around lighting our house and the area around it up. Sonja put a sign outside the front door. 'Home Sweet Home.'
