Requested a long time ago by That_One_Girl_LOL.
I know they have a new account that became a one person account, but this is the account
they used to send me a request.

Grian was running late.
X had called a server meeting but, Grian had been so caught up in working on
his base that he failed to check the time.
He spread his wings and flew towards the shopping district.
He looked around and saw them all in front of Scar's shop.
Everyone seemed quite distracted, they did not even greet him when he landed.
He noticed Pearl, Scar, and Mumbo standing behind everyone looking uncomfortable.
"Hey guys!" Grian walked over to them.
"What's going on?"
Pearl looked at him with panic "W-well there is a new member Xisuma wants to let in for a trial run!"
"Really?" He questioned, his wings twitched.
It was abnormal for Xisuma to invite someone mid-season.
"Who?"
He started towards the crowd.
"Maybe you should meet him later?" Scar blocked his way.
"Scar.. who joined the server?"
Suddenly Grian heard a laugh.
A very familiar laugh.
He stepped back in fear.
"S-Sam...?"
He started walking backwards.
He did not go back much and he bumped into Mumbo.
He flinched and whipped around.
"Grian calm down..." Mumbo comforted.
Grian gripped his suit tightly.
"I-I don't want him here.." Grian whispered.
"Please.."
"Don't worry Grian.. we'll talk to Xisuma." He soothed.
Mumbo sat Grian down on one of the benches.
"I'll be right back, okay Grian?"
"O-okay.."
Scar sat down next to his younger brother and
Pearl stood by the bench, making sure Sam did not come over to them.
.
.
.
Mumbo walked through the crowd.
"Xisuma..?" He questioned.
The admin turned towards him.
"What is it Mumbo?" he asked, looking a bit concerned by Mumbo's expression.
"About Sam.. I don't think he should be a hermit."
The voidwalker frowned slightly.
"Why not?" He asked in confusion.
"Well Grian-" he was cut off by a shocked gasp.
"Gree-on is on this server?!"
Mumbo turned to see Sam with a slightly manic expression in his eyes.
He froze
"Yea, Grian is a hermit!" Gem exclaimed obliviously.
"You know him?"
"Of course! We went to high school together!" He revealed
"We haven't seen each other in years!"
"Well, I'm sure he'd be glad to see you again!" Bdubs said.
"Where is he?" Sam looked around.
There was a flash of anger in his eyes.
"I think he's over there." Doc said reluctantly, looking at Sam with suspicion.
Sam looked over there in excitement and made his way over there.
"Mumbo?" Xisuma asked in concern.
He snapped back into reality.
"Sam can't stay here Xisuma." Mumbo said urgently
"He's done horrible things to Grian! If he sees Sam he'll probably have a panic attack!"
Xisuma's eyes widened.
.
.
.
Pearl had been standing near the bench when she saw Sam heading towards them.
She moved in front of them defensively.
"Hey Gree-on!" He called out.
She looked to Scar in panic
.
.
.
Grian was trying to disappear.
He knew that was not how it works but, he needed to get away.
He did not want to see Sam again, not after what happened.
"It's been so long!"
Grian's eyes snapped up to see Sam only a few feet away.
His chest tightened slightly, making it harder to breathe.
Pearl immediately blocked his view. "Don't come any closer."
"Aw, why not? Doesn't Gree-on want to see me?" He sounded dejected but there was a slight edge to his voice.
"I've missed him so much.."
Scar stood up with his arms in front of Grian protectively.
"Why not? How could you not know why?!" Scar yelled.
Grian moved his wings closer to his back instinctively and he squeezed his eyes shut tight.
He inhaled yet he could not seem to get any air.
Grian's breathing sped up as he tried to catch his breath.
What was wrong? Why couldn't he breathe?
.
.
.
Xisuma was worried and confused.
He had thought Sam seemed like a good person.
The admin had checked his profile for any information that could reveal any bad intentions he may have and there was none.
So when Mumbo came over to him, he was worried.
Xisuma followed behind Mumbo as he led them over to the bench Grian was on.
The sight he saw was concerning.
Sam was in front of Pearl, looking a bit manic.
Pearl had her wings spread wide protectively like Sam was a threat.
Scar was behind her with whom he assumed was Grian.
He could not get a good look at him.
Sam spoke up, sounding angry "We're best friends, why would he not want to see me?!"
"You should know why! If you don't, you're even more messed up than I thought!" Pearl snapped back harshly.
Sam suddenly pulled a blood-stained knife out of the bag of things he brought across servers.
Xisuma's eyes widened, as did the other hermits.
Doc, who had been suspicious of him from the start, lunged to grab him.
Pearl had raised her wings even more, while the rest of the hermits were either in shock or raised their swords.
Xisuma quickly pulled up his communicator.
With no hesitation, he typed the command in and Sam disappeared.
Everyone was shocked at what had just occurred.
Pearl calmed down slightly and turned to Grian immediately.
.
.
.
Scar had turned his attention to Grian as soon as Sam had been banned.
He saw that he was struggling to breathe.
Scar immediately began to help him.
He whispered "Grian, calm down. It's okay.. he's gone. Just breathe.."
Grian opened his eyes as he struggled to inhale fully.
He looked at Scar pleadingly.
Scar grabbed Grian's hand and he put it to his chest.
He inhaled deeply.
"Come on, breathe. Just like that okay?"
Grian began to try to follow Scar's breathing.
He calmed down after a bit.
Grian slumped against Scar's chest.
He was shaking.
Scar wrapped his arms around Grian.
.
.
.
Grian trembled against Scar's chest.
He felt everyone's eyes on him.
He knew he would have to explain everything later.
For now, however..
he was safe.
