Not a Game //Camp Minecraft AU

Chapter 6

Alxton

Alxton had just completed the villager farm in his base. Since the moment of the Ambrew almost dying, the fox had been hard at work trying to get diamonds and grinding to get higher levels to get better gear. Basically, trying his best to survive.

It had took him ages to get all of these villagers set up. He wasn't sure how trading worked yet, but he had a stack of paper ready to go. (I will not go into detail on how he obtained the paper- that would be more boring than a paragraph of The Hobbit describing a tree)

"Alxton? You in here?" A voice called out.

"Yes," Alxton called back from where he was. 

"How'd you get all these villagers?" Zud had just walked into Alxton's trading hall. "Also how'd you get so much wood?"

Alxton shrugged. "A lot of time and effort," He said as he was about to give a piece of paper to a villager when Zud stopped him.

"Dude, are you really gonna give that to a villager?" Zud asked.

"Yeah," Alxton replied. "What else would I do with it?"

"Alxton, not everything has to be about surviving." Before Alxton could reply, Zud snatched the paper away from him. The fox gasped as tried to take it back, but Zud kept it out of his reach. Zud swiftly folded piece into a paper plane. Alxton was surprised.

Zud shrugged. "This...this doesn't just have to be about playing." Zud inhaled sharply. "Everyone's just been grinding as if this is actually Minecraft. I- I just want this to be a chance we can all hang out, together. Something special. Not just about playing some...some stupid game."

Zud looked at the paper plane in his hand. "Everyone is here together. Why don't we just, for once, put everything aside and just have fun?" 

Zud threw the paper plane in no particular direction and they both watched it glide through the corridor and outside a nearby window and disappear into the distance.

Alxton glanced at the amount of paper he was holding. There was more than enough for everyone. He took one sheet out of the stack and, like Zud, made it into a plane. He smiled. "Let's show them."

"Three, two, one-"

Lookumz threw his paper plane and glided into the distance.

Kate looked at him. "I didn't say go!"

Lookumz turned pink and everyone else laughed. Loaf smiled and threw his paper plane as well. Then Kate and Blushi, Nico and Ambrew and Zud and Alxton.

"Mine's going the furthest!" Ambrew called out.

"No, mine is!" Lookumz retorted.

Nico giggled. "That's because you threw it early!"

"Ooh! Do you guys wanna do a paper plane flying contest?" Blushi asked.

"Sure," said Loaf. "But let's have a timer so that Lookumz doesn't throw it early again."

The group laughed again in a unified laughter and altogether watched as the paper planes glided across the campsite. And the song- the song- unbeknownst to them, was gently playing beyond the skies...

Paper planes

Paper planes

When I am blown away
I know I'm not alone

As we glide
Through the sky
Wind will guide
It won't leave us behind

When I am blown away
Like a tiny little paper plane
I'll keep in mind
There's always someone by my side
I know I'm not just a tiny, little

Paper plane!

A/N: When I'm free and able to record it, I'll upload the full version of the song Paper Planes. Maybe an animation? But for now, I'm still really busy, and I've just come back from being sick, so my voice sounds terrible...

This chapter was very short- I'm really sorry (but there's a few hints in it *wink wink*)

I hope y'all like this story- it's very pretty and calm and there isn't much plot progression because technically, this is just exposition. And the next chapter will also still be exposition- maybe a hint of actual plot progression? Idk yet.

Anyways, if you have been, thanks for reading =D
