Jack walked in the door and flopped on his bed with his shoes still on. He sat up threw his shoes and socks into the corner of the room, fiddled about in his drawer and pulled out his laptop and headset. He powered it up, plugged in his headset and placed in on his head. Once the laptop had loaded he logged onto his area and turned on Minecraft. He created a new server and skin, he was wearing a blue hoodie and brown jeans, and he started to chop down a tree when someone joined his server. They had multi-coloured skin and purple eyes with the name 'Tooth Fairy 101' above their head, another person joined this one was dressed like Santa Claus with 'North' above his head, two more people joined one entirely gold called 'Sandy' the other looked like a bunny with the name 'Bunny' above his head. "Hey" said Jack finally plucking up the nerve to speak "Hey" they replied in unison except Sandy who typed his, "Do I know you?" asked Jack. "Not really, but we know you!"

"Does anyone have food? I'm gonna stave in a minute" asked North "I have raw pork?" answered Jack "Give it here, and I'll cook it" said Bunny standing in the cave with all the supplies. I found iron! Said Sandy in the chat, "If we make an iron pick then we can mine diamonds!" exclaimed Jack. "Is there a way to make flower boxes?" asked Tooth "No, but you can make flower pots or just put trap doors around a block of dirt" answered Jack "Who wants pork!" said Bunny and everyone rushed over. "Wow" breathed North "What is it" asked Tooth "I found an iron chest plate and leggings!" said North "Was it in a Dungeon?" asked Jack "Yea" "Did you destroy the spawner?" "Uhhhhhh..." "I guess not" said Jack.

After they had destroyed the spawner and made the cave some walls and a door "Dinner time!" called Jacks mum "I got to go now" sighed Jack awwwwwww complained Sandy "same time tomorrow?" asked Jack "Sure thing" answered North.

Jack ran down the stairs and into the kitchen diner. He sat down in his chair, they were having chicken curry for dinner. He went to bed thinking about his new friends, he didn't even care if they were old people who were just using him for something or other, he had friends.

"What are you so happy about NERD?" teased Harry at break time the next day "nothin'" replied Jack as he carried on drawing his picture of the block people standing together in front of the cave house.

Jack rushed into his house up the stairs and onto his bed where he grabbed all of his equipment and opened his Minecraft server and waited for his new friends to log in. When everyone logged in he set about getting all of them started. "... And Tooth you need to collect wood for the inside, okay guys?" he said "Yep" they replied again in unison. Once they were finished they had built a wizards tower with all their beds in along with their chests, crafting tables and furnaces. "Sandy where did you put the iron pick?" asked Jack in my chest you can get it just don't touch my stuff okay "Ok I won't I just want to go digging in the mineshaft for diamonds!" said Jack. A couple of hours later... "I FOUND DIAMONDS!" screeched Jack "Awesome!" exclaimed North "What are you going to do with it then?" asked Bunny "I'll make an item frame for it and hang it on the wall!" said Jack. "Jack dinner time it's lasagne!" called Anna, "Coming, I gotta go guys see you tomorrow?" asked Jack probably 3:50 as I have work to do but yeah!"Bye for now then said Jack as he shut down his computer.
