-The Treehouse-

(Part One)

(3rd POV)

(Narration)

"Nothing built can last forever. And every legend, no matter how great, fades with time. With each passing year, more and more details are lost... until all that remains are myths. Half truths. To put it simply, lies. And yet in all the known universe, between here and the Far Lands, the legend of the Order of the Stone endures, unabridged, as self-evident fact. Indeed, it is only a troubled land that has need for heroes - and ours was fortunate to have, so long ago, four heroes such as these: Gabriel the Warrior, before whose sword all combatants would tremble. Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer, whose machines would spark an era of invention. Magnus the Rogue, who would channel his destructive creativity for the benefit of all. And Soren the Architect, Builder of Worlds and leader of the Order of the Stone. These FOUR friends together, would give so much to gain their rightful place as FOUR heroes. Their greatest quest would take them on a dangerous journey to fight a mysterious creature known as the Ender Dragon. In the end, the Order of the Stone emerged victorious and the dragon was defeated. Their story complete, they slipped away into the pages of legends."

The scene then clips to a poster of Gabriel the Warrior hung on a tree. It then flew off into the wind flying into the unknown. It then showed a big tree house.

"But when one story ends, another one begins..."

(Narration Ends)

Inside the tree house a person named Jesse held their sword in their hand swinging it at an armour stand practicing their skills.
Another person named Olivia watched Jesse and then spoke with a curious tone asking a useless question. "Would you rather fight a hundred chicken-sized zombies, or ten zombie-sized chickens? Just to be clear, you wouldn't have any weapons or armor. So you'd have to fight them with your hands."

Jesse thought for a while still swinging their sword. They then responded with a little confusion in their voice. "Huh?" Jesse asked as they swung their sword again at the stand.
"Huh?" Olivia asked with a mocking tone. "What?" They asked and looked at Olivia.
Olivia sighed and waved her hand dismissively. "It's just a dumb question. Forget it." She then walked over to a small counter in the small tree house and rummaged around fiddling with the small redstone dust placing it near a small device. "Soo... I made a daylight sensor on the roof... And if I did this right..! These lamps should turn on once it gets dark." Olivia spoke and then stood up rubbing her head a little.
"I didn't want to just leave Reuben here with nothing while we're at the building competition." Olivia sighed and rubbed her hands from the redstone dust sticking on her finger tips.

"Oh! He's coming with us." Jesse said confidently as they held Ruben in their arms. Olivia raised an eyebrow in surprise "Really?"
"What kind of question is that? Of course he is!" Jesse exclaimed as they held Reuben close and then put him on the ground carefully and then Jesse began petting Reuben's head. Making Reuben make a small happy squeal. " Okay.. I'm not saying he shouldn't come! I'm not..! But don't you think it is a little weird that you take him with you everywhere you go?" Olivia asked wiping her hand on her pants. "He kind of makes us look like... I don't know... losers.."
"Reuben's my best friend!" Jesse said standing up a little crossing their arms. "I thought I was your best friend!" Olivia exclaimed putting her hands on her hips. "Both of you are!" Jesse reassured with a positive tone putting their hand on Olivia's shoulder. "I didn't mean anything by it. I'm glad he's coming. I just don't wanna give people one more reason to call us "losers". I'm getting tired of it! I'm tired of being a laughing stock." Olivia sighed and moved from Jesse and crossed her arms.  "Who CARES what people think?!" Jesse exclaimed with a smile on their face. "I know, I know, I just... it wears you down after a little while." Olivia stated with a saddened look on her face. "You say you're not a loser, Olivia! So WIN!"
Olivia chuckled at Jesse's response with a small smile. "Okay, fine!"

Then suddenly there was an eerie sounding hiss that sounded like the sound of the monster the Creeper. The small pig gasped nervously and rushed behind Jesse's side shaking a little. Jesse held their sword out slowly  creeping towards the trap door ready to defend themselves. 
Then Axel opened up the trap door with a Creeper mask on his face. Olivia jumped a little in nervousness, Jesse screamed as they dropped their sword on the floor. Reuben fell on the floor bumping his head.
Axel began to laugh at his friends reactions and climbed up the ladder and stood in the tree house with his best friends. "Oh, man! You guys totally freaked out! That was awe-!" Axel exclaimed and was interupted by Reuben charging at Axel making him nearly fall. Axel jumped a little and looked down at the small pig with a bit of frustration and disappointment. 
Olivia looked at him furiously her arms crossed giving him an angry glare. "Axel! What is the matter with you!?" Olivia then sighed in frustration shaking her head in disapproval.
"Great. Now I'm gonna smell like a pig at Endercon. I thought we were buddies!"
Jesse just glared at Axel with their hand on their hips. 

"That's what you get Axel!"
Axel just scoffed in annoyance and responded back. "I brought you good times, and now I am being punished for it?"
Jesse just shook their head. "You scared us half to death!" Jesse shouted now their hands on their hips. Axel just sighed and rolled his eyes "Nothin' is fun if you're not scared half to death." He joked a little with a small dry chuckle. Jesse just gave Axel an angry frown shaking their head.

Olivia sighed and rubbed her head a little and spoke in an irritated voice. "Did you get the fireworks?"
Axel nodded "Yeah I did! Also I got something for the little guy!" Axel had a bright smile on his face and he pulled out a small detailed Ender Dragon costume. Jesse gave Axel a smile and they nodded. "That's wonderful Axel!"
"You brought Ruben a disguise?" Olivia asked with a hint of disbelief in her tone. "Uh.. Yeah? We are going to a convention! Somebody's gotta wear a costume!" Axel then walked towards Reuben and he then knelt down towards his level and began fixing the costume onto the small pig. Once Reuben had the small cosplay on he squealed happily and jumped in joy acting like he was flying like the real Ender Dragon. Jesse gave a small smile as they watched Reuben prance around. Olivia gave a small snicker. She couldn't help but smile at Reuben's enthusiasm. 

"As long as Reuben is happy, I'm happy!" Jesse said with a small chuckle kneeling down to Reuben's level petting Reuben's floppy ears. Reuben oinked happily jumping around happily. "Happy? Well zippity doo dah!" (Authors note: What is this line bruh? I love this game so much!!😭🤣)
"You definitely brought the fireworks, right?" Olivia asked making sure they were totally ready before going to the convention. Axel nodded and sighed a little "Yes! I'm ready. I'm waiting for you guys!" Axel then opened the trapdoor and then climbed down the ladder carefully. "If he was really your best friend, you wouldn't let him go outside dressed like that..." Olivia said getting ready to climb down the ladder. "The only thing more dangerous than putting a costume on a pig, is trying to take off." Jesse chuckled looking down at the cute pig.
Axel then sighed halfway down the ladder. "Hurry up and grab your stuff!"
Olivia then got ready to go down the ladder as well and stretched a little. "We'll meet you downstairs. Okay?"
Jesse nodded and began looking for some items to take with them to the convention.
