Things to know:

(Y/U/N): Your username



I remember when I was like, 10, and thought, 'Collage is going to be so easy. There's not as many rules as you would think.' I was so wrong. So, very very wrong. "Screw it," I said, logging out of the zoom call. My teacher didn't pay attention anyways, so why stay in the call? I sighed and threw my face into my hands, shaking my head. Why am I such a mess right now? I asked myself. It's not like I was a wreck, I was just super stressed. I had so many assignments due. Film and Art are currently the worst right now. I've had no inspiration. No success, no script, nothing. "Useless, empty, brain," I said, groaning and looking up. I got a notification and looked down at my phone to see that Nick had shot me a text.

Damn, it's been awhile. what ever happened to us? I thought to myself as I picked up the phone and unlocked it, looking at the text. 

Nick: Hey, (Y/N). It's been awhile, hasn't it?

I smiled and nodded to myself. "Sure has," I muttered as I started to text back.

(Y/U/N): Hey, Nick. it really has. How's it been?

Nick: It's been good. 

(Y/U/N): Lol, that's great

Nick: Yea..

Nick: Hey, me and my friends are going to be doing a challenge. Have you ever heard of  Minecraft Manhunt?

I smiled to myself and shook my head. It sounded familiar, but I didn't remember where from. So I texted him just that. That I didn't remember where i've heard of it. 

(Y/U/N): I do, I just can't remember where from

Nick: That's alright. We can explain later. Do you wanna join though?

(Y/U/N): Sure, ig

Nick: Alright, i'll send you an invite

I smiled and nodded. Not too long after, I got a notification from my computer. The notification was from Sapnap, and it was to play Minecraft. I smiled and shook my head. I haven't played Minecraft in awhile, I thought. I accepted the invite and joined the game. As my game started loading, Nick sent me a text on TS. I joined just as my game loaded. I was surrounded by three other people adn when TS loaded, all I could hear was arguing. I kept my character still for a minute and just listened to the conversation.

"It doesn't matter, George. I say Sapnap can invite them if they can play."

"Ok, well, can they, Sapnap?"

"She's played multiple times. She streamed a lot of PVP events. I'm pretty sure she can play, George."

"See, there we go."

"Dream, she's really good. Like, I'm not joking."

"Oh, yeah, ok. So they can play like you?"

"No. Better than us. I'm not joking, Dream."

All of a sudden, things went quite, and all their characters faced me. "Speak of the player," I heard Nick say, using his character to punch me. I stayed quiet for a minute before Nick cleared his throat. "This is (Y/U/N)," he said, punching me again. I punched him back and took a step back as Nick explained who everyone was. "This is George," he said, punching an avatar to his right, who was wearing what looked like the original Steve with a supreme logo on the shirt, and white goggles. he turned to his left, punching a Green avatar with a white face on the torso. "Ok, Sapnap, stop punching me," Dream said punching him back. They all started punching each other until I cleared my throat. They all stopped acting like children before Sapnap started explaining. "If we can kill Dream before he kills the Ender Dragon, we win." I stared at the screen, confused. "So it's basically like a cat and mouse game?" I asked, more as a statement.

George confirmed, punching the ground and bouncing around as he did so. "The goal for the hunters, is to eliminate the speedrunner. In this case, Dream," he said, punching Dream, who punched him back. "You guys, the hunters, have unlimited lives, and can use a compass to track me, which can work in all dimensions," Dream said, standing still as George continued to punch his character. "So then the goal for Dream is to finish the game?" I asked. Dream confirmed but still didn't move his character. "But he has only one life. Whether he died from the hunters or not, we win if he dies," Sapnap said. I nodded to myself as Dream cleared his throat. "Can you record your gameplay, (Y/U/N)?" he asked me. I nodded again, even if no one could see me. "Yeah, let me just set it up," I said, opening OBS. As it loaded, they went over the rules again, making sure I understood. I played some background music and started the recording. "Alright. All set," I said. We all waited for Dreams move, and the first thing he did, was punch my avatar and started running.
