The Mysterious Block (XaraxRomeo)

Romeo's PoV

"Hey Xara!" Romeo called, looking down at the ravine. "What is it this time, dummy? A zombie? A creeper? All you gotta do is to shoot it in the head you know." Xara replied, mining at a chunk of iron.

Romeo rolled his eyes, "I was just wondering about this mineshaft. Have we been there before?" he asked. Xara jumped down from the ledge and landed beside him. "Hmm.. I don't think so. Fred? You remember a lot of things don't you?" Xara asked Fred, who looked up from the tiny slime he was befriending.

"We definitely haven't been here before." Fred said, picking up the slime and bringing it over to his friends. "Wha- why do you have a slime?" Romeo asked, looking at the bouncing green jelly. "His name's Benny. Don't touch him." Fred added, setting Benny down and watching him hop beside them.

"First it was a bat, then it was a squid. What now? A slime?" Romeo said. Fred rolled his eyes and the three of them continued venturing further into the mines. "Y'know, it would be nice if we found something else rather than iron or gold. I'm thinking an End portal or a giant ocean monument!" Xara exclaimed.

"You're thinking too big Xara. At least we found a mineshaft." Romeo smiled at his best friend. Xara rolled her eyes. "You always told me to think big! Fine.. at least we have this-."

Benny ventured ahead, and promptly fell through the floor. "Benny!" Fred yelped, running towards the hole and looking down. "Whoa.. that's a deep one." Fred commented, looking down into the darkness. "I gotta save Benny. You guys coming?" Fred asked, holding out a torch.

"Sure, big guy." Xara grinned, taking out some ladders and placing them down. The three of them climbed down to find Benny lying in a pool of water, peeking out. "There you are!" Fred exclaimed, splashing down and wading over to Benny. "Fred- wait!" Xara shouted and grabbed his shoulder just before the ground beneath him gave way.

"Phew. Thanks." Fred grinned at Xara, who smiled back. "Let go?" Romeo interrupted, pointing to a glowing cave at the other end. "We should be near the bedrock... so we have to be careful." Xara said, holding up her torch.

"Wait, what's that?" Romeo asked, pointing to a pedestal. "Whoa.. I've never seen that before." Xara said, "Does it look dangerous?"

"Gee Xara, why don't I touch it and if it's dangerous, I'll tell you after I'm dead." Romeo said sarcastically, making her elbow him. "Come on, this beats finding a End Portal or an ocean monument." she hopped towards the strange pedestal, examining the block hovering on top of it.

"It's a structure block." Fred noted, literally jotting it down in his diary. "What's that?" Romeo asked, eyeing the strange purple block carefully. "It's basically something you place down and boom, an immediate structure." Xara explained. "Oh."

"So it shouldn't be harmful, right?" Romeo's eyes glinted at the sight of the hovering cube. Xara wasn't so sure. "I don't think you should touch it Rom, it could be dangerous." Benny hopped up and down, as if agreeing with Xara. "Oh come on, it shouldn't be too bad." Romeo said, taking the hovering purple block.

For a moment, the threesome stood together and the next, there was a blinding flash of light... and Xara was knocked out.

"Xara, wake up, are you okay?" Romeo's voice echoed in her head, making her groan. "What? What happened?" she asked sluggishly. "We just got knocked out... and unfortunately, Benny got squashed." Romeo pointed to a hovering slimeball.

Xara sat up, feeling dizzy. "But why do I feel so strange?" she asked Romeo. Her eyes widened when she saw him clearly. "Whoa. You look glowy." she commented. Romeo snorted. "Is that your first word? Glowy?" he asked.

Xara rolled her eyes. "Wait, where's Fred?" Xara asked Romeo, who was picking up Benny's remains. "No? But have you looked at yourself recently?" he asked. Xara immediately looked at her clothes, which was now glowy as well. "Romeo what the heck did you do?" she asked, panicking a little.

"Jeez, calm down." Romeo said, suddenly summoning a sword out of nowhere, surprising Xara. "How-?"

"I think when this dumb dumb touched that structure block, we obtained powers." Fred said, making Xara turn. Sure enough, he looked glowy too. "Why, Fred. You look blue."

"Literally." Romeo said, looking at the slimeball in his hand. Fred rolled his eyes. "So now what? We have powers?" he asked.

"Amazing!" Romeo cheered.

"Jeez- no." Xara said. They looked at each other. "There are two types of people," Fred muttered. "Well, we should go home, see what we can do, and figure out how to use it to our advantage!" Romeo grinned, summoning a potato and wrinkling his nose in disgust.

"This... is so strange." Xara said, watching as Romeo summoned an iron golem. "What should we call ourselves?" Fred asked, heading back the way they came from.

Romeo tapped his chin. "An admin is a term to describe the leader of something, right?" he said. "So maybe let's name ourselves the Admins!"

Xara sighed. "Is that the best thing you can come up with?" she asked tiredly. Romeo grinned. "At least there isn't the word potato in it. I hate potatoes." Romeo said. "And why does that have to do with anything?" Xara asked.

Romeo shrugged. "I dunno. Now let's go home, fellow Admins, and bring back this structure block!" Romeo took Xara's arm and together, they climbed up the staircase they built and out to the cabin again.
