Chapter 5

(Jack's P.O.V.)

"Jack! GMod! Come on!" Mark yells, running up the stairs. I follow, going into my bedroom, setting up my laptop. I Skype Mark real quick and I open Garry's Mod.

"Mark, why are we playing GMod?" I ask. He just shrugs.

"I don't know. I just want to play something and this was the first thing I thought of." He says. I shrug as well, joining the LAN server he made. It's the same map we played on in the first video we ever did together in sandbox. I laugh a bit.

"What are we doing first?" I ask. Mark spawns a bathtub and his thruster cannon.

"Bathtub rocket!" He yells, filling the back of the tub with thrusters. I roll my eyes, watching as Mark adds a seat and sits in it.

"Alright! I'm ready whenever!" He says. I laugh.

"Okay." I say, throwing a grenade. Mark's smiling face then turns to panic.

"Wait wait wait!" He yells but the grenade blows up and Mark dies. This just sends both Mark and I into fits of laughter.

"I was in the wrong gamemode..." He says between laughs, which just makes me laugh more. Eventually we calm down enough that Mark is able to respawn, change gamemode, and then move the bathtub rocket to the middle of the map again. "Alright! Take two!" He says, sitting in it once more. I sigh, throwing the grenade.

"And... You're off!" I yell once the grenade blows up.

"Woo hoo!" He screams, the rocket flying up. Then it comes down, hits the ground, making him spiral sideways, hit a wall, hit another wall after that, then hit the side of a house, then the ground again, and finally the thrusters run out. I'm just sitting there laughing, and laughing, and laughing. Soon Mark joins in, and we're both once again in laughing fits.

"Well that worked!" I say as a joke, making Mark laugh harder.

"God you're funny." He says, and I blush slightly. I silently thank the camera for not being able to see it when I blush.

"Not really. You're funnier." I say. Mark calms down and just smiles.

"I still think you're the funniest, but I'm not gonna argue with you. Come on. Let's build something else." He says. I nod, agreeing.

"Yeah sure. I'ma get something to drink first though. Be right back." I say, getting up. I head down to the kitchen, getting the two liter bottle of Coca-Cola. I pour some into a glass with some ice, putting the bottle back afterwards. Then I head back upstairs to my bedroom, putting the glass on the desk before sitting down. When I do I sigh, shaking my head in disapproval. I interrupt Mark's dialog to the mayhem he's created.

"Mark... I leave for three minutes..." I say, and he freezes. He stops spawning things, he stops talking, stops moving, just freezes. It's silent. Then he tries to spawn one more thing and I see in the notification thing "Has reached max NPC limit" making me laugh.

"Dang it." Mark says, laughing a bit as well.

"Mark why?" I ask, and he shrugs.

"I don't know. I spawned one thing, then another, then another. And it turned into this." He says. I sigh again, closing my eyes.

"What am I gonna do with you?" I ask.

"Absolutely nothing, that's what." He says in response. I smile, opening my eyes.

"I know. Now what are we actually gonna build?" I ask as Mark deletes everything he previously spawned in.

"Um... I don't know... We can do, like, a whole base thing. Make a base together then see if it's indestructible." He suggests. I shrug.

"Sure. Just no TNT this time!" I say, remembering his fort from our first video together.

"Ugh! Fine!" He complains. Slowly but surely we start working on a base, disagreeing about pretty much everything, from the material to interior design. After about an hour however, it looks pretty okay.

"Alright. Now we test it." Mark says, getting out a grenade. We stand on the outside, Mark throwing grenades, me shooting rockets. Sure enough, it stays standing. I'm pretty sure the inside is destroyed but the outside is intact.

"Nice! Now... Can monsters get in?" Mark asks, spawning a whole bunch of NPCs.

"Holy..." I say, watching as about fifteen NPCs, all of them different, start walking towards the base. I think only one gets inside. "Nice!" I say, jumping up a bit.

"Yay! We succeeded!" Mark yells, going up to the base and throwing about five grenades. They do nothing, which is awesome!

"Alright alright alright! Our Beee-Utiful base!" I say, going inside and spawning TNT barrel after TNT barrel.

"Jack!!! I thought you said no more TNT!!!" Mark yells, coming in as well. I shrug.

"Eh." I say, throwing a grenade and making it all blow up. I see in the corner "entity deleted" and soon, along with the TNT, the entire base is gone. I look at Mark through the Skype call.

"I pressed the wrong button..." He laughs. I smile, rolling my eyes.

"Whatever!" I yell, running into a building and working on my own base.

"No! No Jack! Don't be like that..." Mark says, still laughing. We just continue playing until we decide we had enough GMod for one day.
