The Fighter (Minecraft Story) Book One Of The Moone Trilogy

Chapter 24: Gordon Can Sing Soprano

Night sky picture.

Longer chapter to balance out perfect chapter endings. Lol.

~<>~

"Miss, is everything okay?" The person asked me.

I had my head down and my hoodie covering part of my eye, so the guy on the other side of the desk thingy that was giving us our tickets was probably worried. I nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"She doesn't talk much," Infinity informed harshly. "And she's been through a dramatic experience involving her great aunt Lola so we would all appreciate if you'd stop butting into lives."

The guy's face turned slightly red. He cleared his throat. "My apologies. Here are your tickets." He handed us 5 white tickets. "Have a great day."

"Don't tell us what to do." Infinity grabbed the tickets, and continued down the line.

"Me thinks she's mad bro." Gordon whispered. Jake nodded.

I also noticed that Infinity kept her arms crossed the whole time.

As we went down the line, we stopped at the next person to inspect our inventory bags. I was a little nervous, considering we had stabby objects.

The lady inspected our bags. "It appears you have weapons. No matter. We just have to put these in the baggage hold. Nothing too bad, right?"

"Left." Infinity said.

The lady looked at her, but shook her head and put our bags on a cart behind her along with others.

"Let's go." Jake said behind me.

We started walking along the train, where people were getting inside. I guessed that we had our tickets checked inside.

"Right here." Abby got behind a guy filing inside.

We all got inside. It was a small walkway, but when we got into a room, it had velvety seats for 6. A train window showed a stone wall, which was a nice view.

We sat down, me on the left by the window next to Abby and Gordon, and Jake and Infinity to the right.

"So we just wait?" Abby asked.

"Yep. Train doesn't move till all the rooms are checked for tickets." Jake informed.

So we just waited. It was a bunch of throat clearing and awkward silence, while Infinity just stared into space with the same negative expression.

The door opened, and a young man walked in. "Tickets?" He seemed to be only a few years older than us.

His gaze lingered on me, and I forgot I didn't have my hood up. Crap. I jerked my head toward the window.

I saw Infinity's reflection through the window shoving the tickets toward the man. He inspected them, then handed them back without a word. He glanced toward me again, and left, shutting the door. I looked back.

Infinity sighed and uncrossed her arms. "Finally."

"What?" asked Gordon.

Infinity unzipped her jacket just a little, and reached inside. She pulled out something small and furry. Gabriel?

"Gabriel?" I asked.

She winced. "Yeah. Sorry I was so grumpy. Had to keep up the act."

I raised an eyebrow toward Jake. "And you allowed this?"
