Chapter 5 Showing Off
Max's P.O.V
After watching another thirty minutes of Scream Queens, I walked over to my room. I knocked on the door and came in. Ross was cuddling with Melody, who was sleeping. He put his finger to his lips. I nodded and grabbed my extra blankets from my closet. Ross quietly got off the bed and looked at Melody. He smiled and sighed. "She's adorable." he said staring at her. I nodded. "Yeah, she's not shy. She's kind of outgoing and kind, don't you think?" I said and he nodded. Ross walked to the doorway. "Well, going to sleep. Night." he said. "Night." I responded. I looked at Melody. "Sleep tight." I whispered and walked to the living room.
In the morning, I woke up and went to the kitchen to brew some coffee. Kitty Purry walked over by me and meowed. I groaned. "What do you want? Go bother Ross." I looked at Ross's room. Little laughs were coming from his room. I picked up KP and walked over there.
When I opened the door, Ross, Tim, and Melody were playing on the computer. I set KP on his bed and looked at the computer screen. "What are you guys doing?" Tim looked at me. "Stupid simulators." he said and nodded at the screen. A goat appeared licking people and jumping off cliffs. I smacked my head. "Goat simulator?"
Ross laughed and nodded. "What? It's a classic." he said and walked to his bed. Melody turned and smiled. "Good morning." she said and gave me a hug. "Good morning." I said and hugged her. She let go and stepped back. "So, what's this fabulous job you guys do?" she asked and stared at me. I looked at Ross who nodded at me. "Max, get dressed you bum." I shook my head and went to my room.
We all ate breakfast and hopped in my car. Tim was driving, I was in the front seat, and Ross and Melody were in the back. Melody looked out the window. "Are your coworkers nice?" she asked. I laughed. "They're idiots." Ross smiled. "Don't worry. They'll love you." he said and patted her on the back. She smiled. "I hope so."
Melody's P.O.V
I hopped out of the car and looked at the big office building. "Office workers?" I asked. No one answered. I shrugged and followed them to the entrance.
We walked through hallways and reached a big room. Max yelled, "Barney!" I looked at Ross. He mouthed, "Just wait." A man with an accent came over by us. "What, I'm working." He noticed me and smiled. "Hello, who's this?" he said. I waved. "Hi, I'm Melody." He shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you." He looked at Max. "College graduate, nineteen, family gone, no place to stay, staying with us, now we're here." Max said quickly. Barney raised his eyebrows. "Nineteen college graduate? What field?" "Technology." I answered. He did a short clap. "Very impressive." I smiled and bowed. "Thank you."
Two guys came in the room. One with red hair, one with brown. They looked at me. "Hey." the one with the brown hair said. I waved. Max introduced me to both of them. They nodded. Red shook my hand. "Nice to meet you." he said. Adam gave me a hug instead. "Welcome to the offices! Very impressive, with your college degree and all."
I bowed and nodded. "Thank you. I tried." We all laughed.
After Ross introduced me to others, he showed me his office. Adam followed us. A Minecraft figurine sat on his desk and drawings of different skins sat next to it. I picked up a drawing and studied it. "This is so, familiar." I said. Adam nodded then looked at Ross. "Wait, did you tell her what we do?" he asked. Ross shook his head. "Melody, we, um, we play," My face lightened and I looked at them.
"Minecraft!" I smiled. They laughed. "Yeah, pretty much. We do it on YouTube and stuff for money because this is America and you can!" Adam said. I smiled. Ross said, "Our channels are-" I looked at the drawings again. All of a sudden, a memory came to mind.
"Melody, look." my brother, Jacob said. I came in his room and sat on his bed. "What is it?" He pointed his iPad at me. A video of a YouTuber playing Minecraft showed. Then, Jacob switched it to a video labeled, Do Not Laugh. I smiled. "You still like these, 'Minecrafters'?" I asked. He shook his head. "They're really funny and I like what they do. They have fan mail and I'm going to draw a picture for them." he said enthusiastically. I smiled and rubbed his head. "Well, you have great talent in drawing and your only twelve. You have time, why don't you start today?" I suggested. Jacob smiled and sat at his desk. He pulled out a big sheet of paper and a few pencils. He placed his iPad against the wall, which had a picture of people on it. I couldn't really get a good sense of it but I knew they were the Minecrafters. He tacked different names to his board on the wall. He smiled. "This will be the best drawing for them." Jacob said. I smiled and read the names on the wall.
I looked at Adam and Ross. "SkyDoesMinecraft and House_Owner." I said. They looked at me. "Wait, what? How did you know?" Adam asked. I went out the door and into the big room where I left my backpack.
I searched through my backpack. Adam and Ross stood behind me. Max, Barney, Red, and Tim with others stood by the wall. I pulled out a big sheet of paper and unraveled it. I grabbed tape from a desk and started to tape the paper to the wall.
After it was all taped, I stepped back. All the guys did too and we took in what was on the paper. Adam gasped. "Woah." On the paper was brilliant drawings of everyone together, laughing, in the offices including three girls labeled, Shelby, Jess, and Alesa.
I smiled. "My brother was a huge fan of you guys." I said. "He admired your comedy and your creative shows. He absolutely adored you guys." They stared in awe at the drawing.
"He drew this as fan mail and was supposed to send it to you guys, but..." Max stood next to me and looked at the drawing. "This is amazing. The best fan art we've seen." I smiled and shed a tear.
"He was so talented. I loved him for that." I said. I looked at all the direct features of everyone. I turned around and saw everyone taking photos of the drawing. I shook my head and laughed.
Adam hugged me and smiled. "What the hell. You got an amazing brother who can draw like this at twelve and you're nineteen and graduated college already. And I got a farting baby and three idiot dogs." I laughed.
They all walked away to their desks and offices. Adam patted me on the back and walked away. Max and Ross stood next to me, helping me realize this is home.
