Anna:


It feels like we slept for five minutes but I wake up as the sun is rising. Grace is already awake and looks to be taking advantage of our early rise.


I see her reflection from our mirror and it's coming from the backyard where Grace is sitting at the old pond fishing.


I get up, get dressed, and run outside. She's sining a song from Dj Creepers latest album but I can't make out the words over the noise of her stacking fish.


"Surprised you caught something." I say laughing and sit next to her.


"Lily and Lightning might want some fish." Grace says stacking more.


How many did she catch..


"It sounds silly but I want our dogs home!" Grace says frustrated.


"I miss them too." I say wiping the tears now rolling down my cheeks.


I give her a hug and go back inside. I tumble back into bed and look at my desk next to the bed. A picture of Lightning and I when he was just a puppy is framed next to my lamp. Along with a picture of Grace and I riding pigs for the first time.. That day we had so many injuries we couldn't even compare that to mob injuries! Pigs are very wild when carrots are around.


I look across the room and see the wall closest to Grace's side of the room. It has dozens of pictures of us so let's take another looksie.


I get up and walk over to her side of the room and look at her wall. The biggest picture and center picture is of all 4 of us. Lightning, Lilly, Grace, and I. I notice the picture of Grace's arm in a blue cast. To answer your question no that was not from a mob or pig, it was simply from spinning around the room too fast and carelessly! Silliest thing! The picture takes place at the Minecraftia football game, biggest game of the year. Everybody asked her about the cast and we'd just laugh and make up tremendous stories of us fighting mobs or going on a great journey! They'd totally buy it too..


"Hey!" Grace says running in and holding pointing to the pond,"The fish ate gone!"


"What? How?!" I exclaim getting up running outside.


"I turned my back for a minute or so looking around the yard to see if any animals were around who would think of stealing my fish and when I turn back.. BAM! They're gone!" Grace yells frustratedly.


I stifle a laugh and pick up a remain of fish. It has animal bites in it and turn and point to an ocelot run out of a bush with a fish. About 15 or so more charge out of the boat with fish.


"MY FISH!" Grace yells angrily.


She runs after the ocelots and they quickly outsmart all her tricks and attempts of getting the fish back. They run into the forest by our house and Grace still runs after them. Worried I run after her too.


What feels as hours the ocelots stop and eat some fish. I turn to Grace and she's starring at them and I can tell she's racking her brain to find some good snacks made of ocelot hide..


Grace:


I run my hand through my loose curls and furry my brow. I've got to get my fish back.


In the corner of my eye I see Anna glance over at me and I quickly replace my smug look with a dumb look and she looks away. I furry my brow again and put my smug look back on.


There are many ways to outsmart an ocelot it's just I don't have any weapons, blocks, and obviously fish with me.


I run off further into the jungle. Anna seems to notice but is too lazy to come retrieve me. I sneak up behind the dumb cats and take my fish.


The angry ocelots chase after me and Anna chases me too. We lead the ocelots into our empty corral and lock them in there. We used to have pigs in there but we aren't very good riders and we were hungry one day..


Anna:


After running around so much I see Grace doze off into sleep. She killed almost all the ocelots but figured a few of them might have some information and we could translate what they're saying in the morning. It's now sunset and oddly I'm not tired.


I get out of bed, grab my computer, and go to the front yard. Before Grace fell asleep I downloaded the Ocelot translating app and now I can use it!


I run over to the corral and start talking to them.


"Do you know 2 wolves with the names of Lightning and Lily?" I ask.


"Dumb human thinks we can actually talk to her.." one says to another.


"I can hear you." I say with a straight face.


"Oh! Well now it depends." The rude one says.


"What's in it for us?" a kitten says.


"Fish." I say with a smile creeping across my face.


They all adapt smug looks and the kitten starts talking,"Well I did see the pups when our good friends Oco and Kitt saved them. It was shortly after the huge blowout on Mushroom Island a few hundred-thousand blocks from here."


"I heard about that! All I saw was the creepers and the dying Mooshrooms!" I say.


"Yeah. It was a good thing our cat-pack was crossing the ocean at the time, Lily was hurt by a creeper!" the kitten says.


"Oh my gosh is she okay?!" I ask nervously.


"She's fine! We gave her some fish and we went around asking who would take them in." a oddly oranger one says.


"Oco and Kitt quickly agreed and by now they are almost across the Big Blue Sea and then going to head to Mob Mountain to talk to the Endermen to see if they can go to The End World to talk to the Enderdragon. They said something about seeing if he can fly them over there?" the kitten says,"My name is Kiki by the way."


The rest of the cats stay silent as they much on the fish. Yes munch because they are now bad..


"They can't go to the End World! You can't leave unless your teleported and we know EnderDragon can't do that anymore and neither can they Endermen!" I exclaim.


"So now what?" Kiki asks.


"You, Grace, and I are on a journey to Mob Mountain." I say confidently.


Everybody gasps as I let Kiki out of the corral. Her orange/yellow stripes turn into a bright orange and she purrs.


"Come on kitty." I say leaning to pet her. She purrs louder.


I put torches around the corral and we run inside because we hear the monsters.


"We have a big journey tomorrow." I whisper getting in bed.


Kiki purrs and Grace moves around in her sleep in reply.


Tomorrow is a big day.
