Alex's POV

I looked at the mirror, gasping.

It was an orange dress with a fire pattern on the bottom.

I twirled around, the dress spinning too.

"You good?" "It's perfect!" I exclaimed, coming out and twirling once again.

She nodded, crossing her arms in satisfaction. "Knew you'd like it, I know you." I giggled in agreement as I looked down at it.

"Maybe he'll like it?"

She gasped. "Who? Who?"

I blushed, turning away. "N-no one!"

She poked my arm, then my cheek. "You do~ Now who is it?"

I rubbed my arm as I stuttered, "B-br-"

Don't say his real name!

"Bruce...."

"Who's that?" "My c-friend!" I shouted, forgetting not to mention any cousin thing.

She started clapping and giggling. "Alex is in love! Alex is in love!" "Rosey, shush!"

We both giggled as I went back into the dressing room.

"How much?"

"Ya' know what, on the house." "No! It's to perfect!" I exclaimed walking out with the dress in my hands.

"What's the original cost?" She went to the desk and went through her book. "The original cost would have been 15." "That much?!"

She nodded. "It was made from the color of netherrack and the skin of a ghast." "Wow, who knew Ghast skin is comfy?" She nodded as she giggled.

"So, if you really do wanna pay, I'll take 10, but~"

Oh no....

"If you want it to be 6, you have to-" "Stop, it's going to be something weird, isn't it?" She shook her head, continuing. "You have to kiss Bruce!"

I blushed madly as I shook my head. "No way! I don't even know if he likes me!"

"But hey, you have two good things. The cost is 6, and you get to kiss your crush." I thought about it, trying to think of the good things.

"F-fine! But, if I don't do it, I'll give you the 4 later, okay?" She nodded as she grabbed the dress, putting it into a bag.

"6 please!" I sighed as I handed her 6, grabbing the bag.

"Good luck Ally!"

"Stop calling me that!"

Brine's POV

I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Dang...this is nice!" "Do you like is sir?"

"Yeah, how much?" I asked, as I started to get dress in my original outfit.

"Well, since it's for the party, I'll do 3 off. How is that?"

"Sure!" I exclaimed, walking out with the tuxedo in my hands.

"Here, I'll take that and put it in a bag." "Wait, how much?"

"Hmm, with 3 off, its 4." I nodded as he went around the desk, grabbing a bag and placing the tuxedo into it. I handed him 4 ingots as he handed me the bag.

"Come again sometime young man!" I nodded and waved as I left the shop.

I began walking to the gates, but then. "Boo!" I screamed, turning around. "Alex! Why?!"

She began to laugh, as I sighed.

"Please stop doing that." She nodded, hugging me. "Here is an apology hug!" I chuckled as I hugged her back.

"So, wanna go back now?" I nodded as she let go.

"Come on! Don't wanna be late!" "But the parties tomorrow." "Still!" She shouted, grabbing my hand and running.

"Good, you two are on time," Uncle said, Alex nodded in response.

"You two get some outfits?" We both nodded, showing him our bags.

"Good, now, I'm going to start decorating. Steve is upstairs making the invitations, why not go help him?"

We both nodded again as we ran upstairs.

Alex knocked on Steve's door. "Come in," He said on the other side.

We walked in, placing our bags on the ground.

"Hey bro! How many you got done?"

"I made 10 already, but for my friends. There are more in the chest over there," He said gesturing to a chest behind him.

"Thanks man," I said, grabbing some and handing some to Alex.

We started making them. Alex and Steve had an easy time since they knew everyone, I barely knew anyone!

I started thinking, going back to the people I met.

Lola!

"Have any of you made an invitation for Lola?" They both shook their heads, getting back to work.

I looked around the desk, looking for any info about the party. I saw a piece of paper on the table. I grabbed it and began to read it:

It is time to Party!

You are welcomed to the annual, Minecraft Celebration Day!

You may dress in anything you wish, and bring any dish you would like to bring too.

It will be happening tomorrow before sunset.

You may come early if you wish to help with decorations, food, chairs, etc.

Hope to see you there ______

I started to write down that it said, putting Lola in the blank. I read over it, making sure it was perfect.

"You finished one?" Alex asked, looking over my shoulder. I nodded, handing it to her.

"Okay, put it into the enderchest over there, make sure to think of the person!" I nodded, walking over to the chest and opening.

Lola....jewelry shop lady...send...

I kept thinking this as I threw the note into the chest, closing it.

After it did a, whoosh noise. I sighed, and continued to make invitations.

Alex's POV (Sorry, I just don't like doing Steve's POV for some reason, IDK why?)

We started helping Father do decorations, and it was coming along well!

"And....done!" I shouted, finishing putting a ribbon.

"Now the sign!" Steve shouted.

It has always been his favorite part, I don't know why though, I like putting the ribbons!

We all walked outside, Steve and Father carrying the sign out.

"Now, who wants to put the sign up?" Father asked.

We all raised our hand, making me giggle.

Father chuckled as he set it down. "Okay, I'll get the ladder. Just wait, okay?"

We nodded as he walked into the building.

"Come on, maybe if we do it by ourselves he'll let us explore more," I said, grabbing one side of the sign. Steve nodded in agreement, but Brine didn't.

"What if we get hurt?" "Come on Brine, stop being such a scaredy-lot."

Brine growled as he sighed. "Fine, but if we get in trouble, your guys' fault." I nodded as we all grabbed it, lifting it up.

"Why not, this way?" Steve asked, pointing his head a bit up.

I nodded, lifting it up a bit.

As I took a step forward, I slipped, the sign slowly coming down on me.

I closed my eyes, crossing my arms over my face. I didn't feel anything. I open my eyes and look up, the sign just floating over me. I looked to my left to see Brine, his eyes closed and his hands stretched out, as if he's...levitating it!

"Woah, are you doing that Brine?" Steve asked, looking over. Brine nodded slowly, lifting it away from me.

He collapsed on his knees after putting it on the ground.

"Brine? You okay!" I said, going next to him.

He nodded, breathing heavily. "N-never used that much...power in my life."

"Maybe we should wait for Father?" Steve asked, setting the sign down too.

I placed a hand on his shoulder gently, making him look at me, and what I saw scared me. I fell back, then scooting away from him.

"What? What's wrong sis?" Steve asked, running next to me. I pointed to Brine, stuttering, "H-his e-e-eyes are, w-white!"

Steve looked at Brine, and quickly stood up getting in front of me while taking a sword out.

"What? What do you mean?" Brine asked, lifting up his hand, but then freezing.

Brine's POV

I looked at my hands, seeing a white light shining on them.

What is going on?

I'm here....and I'm not leaving...

Who are you?!

I'm the Herobrine said of you Brine, the side trapped in your stupid mind forever, but now I'm free!

H-how?

Simple, you need some power, and you know who helped?

"Brine? Talk to us!"

You.....but, it was just levitation..

Yes, but it seems that your power abilities are very weak, but I can help...

I felt someone shake my slightly. "Brine, are you alright?"

Uncle!

I looked at him, him then taking his hand off. "Children! What happened?"

"He was just stopping the sign from hurting me, it's my fault!" Alex shouted, tears rolling down her cheeks.

I wanted to help her, but my body felt frozen.

Just let me help Brine, it'll-

No! Stay away from me!

My head began to hurt, making me grab my head.

"Brine! Please, say something," Uncle said, lifting me to face him. I looked at him, still holding my head. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing but painful shouts came out.

I WILL USE FORCE! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME NOW!

Everything began to get hazy. I felt my body fall sideways, only hearing the faint sounds of everyone shouting my name.
