3rd Person POV

In the forest right outside Beacontown, the portal from the source code spit everyone out onto the tall grass, which, as luck would have it, made their fall less uncomfortable and the sky above them was dark, barely giving way to light.

"We did it you guys, we're back!" Petra exclaimed as she spread out her arms and legs in the grass.

"I'm just glad to be conscious again." Romeo admitted as he brushed off the seeds from his clothes.

"We're happy to be back!" Reuben, Benedict, and Lluna chorused together happily.

"Come on, it's still dark out, let's get inside before the mobs find us." Jesse suggested as they all got up and ran towards Beacontown. They all stopped at the gate to Beacontown when they heard a familiar shrill voice,

"You're back!" Radar peeked out from one of the watchtowers on either side of the gate and waved to them.

"Yeah we are, did you ever doubt us?" J joked, but Radar took it literally and started to stutter an explanation before he continued, "I'm kidding buddy, but, in all seriousness, can you open the gate and let us in?"

"R-right!" Radar flipped a lever forward and the gates began to open slowly, allowing everyone to hurry in before it opened halfway.

"Whew... that was intense..." Addie whispered out loud.

"What, running through a slowly opening gate? That was the easy part." Petra lightly punched her in the shoulder.

"I actually meant the whole journey... sorry I was just... reflecting on all of it." Addie admitted while rubbing her neck in embarrassment.

"Hey, it would be a pretty big deal to find out what happened to both of your families." Lukas patted her on the shoulder.

"Yeah, if you need to take some time to be alone just let us know." Jesse told her gently.

"I actually want to be anything but alone right now. Maybe I should get a pet." Addie pondered to herself at the end of her statement.

"Well, you're in luck," Radar finally got down from the watchtower and was standing in front of them catching his breath from running, "While you all were gone, the Mine Guard ran into a dungeon, but instead of a mob spawner, it spawned in a bunch of tameable animals."

"Must have been a leftover glitch." Xara stated.

"Fortunately it was a good one." Romeo breathed a sigh.

"Not really, they had a hard time getting the animals back above ground and when they got here, the animals didn't want to leave Beacontown, so..." Radar trailed off.

"So you started pet adoptions?" Jesse finished excitedly.

"Yeah, and they're so cute! Come see for yourself."

"As enticing as that sounds, I'm heading back home." Xara told us as rubbed her head a bit, "I need some rest after all that, I'll see you guys around." Xara waved to us and headed off in the direction of her house.

"Same here, I need to fix some things around my house." Romeo waved to the gang and left for his home too, leaving them with Radar.

"Well, we're not doing anything, so...?" Lukas started and they all followed Radar as he took off running towards the new building that had a heart on top of it.

When they got inside, they saw all sorts of baby animals from puppies to kittens to lambs. There were even a couple of wild animals like a polar bear cub and a brown llama.
