Ty's POV

In The End...

I've been in the End for a whole week. For people in the Overworld, it's only been a day or two. I've been plotting ways to get back at Travis and Katelyn for taking me here. This all started with Travis. If Adam hadn't invited him in the first place, this wouldn't have happened! It angers me greatly to even think about it. Travis kissed Aphmau, and that is where this rivalry started. I angrily kick a stone as I walk around the Ender Castle.

 "WE'VE BEEN WAITING LONG ENOUGH DRAGON. IT'S TIME TO SHOW YOURSELF." I yell to the empty throne. The throne could be as big as a hotel, maybe even bigger. I transform into a bigger Enderlox form. 

"I SAID SHOW YOURSELF!" I bellow. 

My voice bounces on and off of walls. A gust of smoke fills the floor, it only scraping at my feet. Once the smoke dissipates, the Ender Dragon sits there. He morphs into a human form. He has a black and purple reptile patterned suit on, with pale skin and black hair atop his head. His eyes are indigo, with a frightening aura radiating off of him. I love it! 

"We can't stay bottled up in the End forever, father!" I exclaim. 

"We won't. We will soon rise above the End, and invade the Overworld. We will dominate to the point where we're ruling that world. Patience, son." Ender (That's his name) says. Or should I say... 

Dad.

Aphmau's POV

In The Overworld...

I wake up on Travis' shoulder. I look around to see Aaron, Malachi, Zenix and Levin all asleep as well. We all must have fallen asleep during the movie... Levin is curled up on my side. The TV is still running, so I grab the remote and turn it off. I slither off of the couch (Being the epic snake I am) then walk to my room. Once I finish getting ready, I walk out to see Travis and Zenix gone. 

Levin is waking up, "Hey, buddy." I whisper, crouching down to Levin's level. His eyes jolt open once he sees me. 

"Aph~Moo!" Levin smiles. I then pick him up, and help him get ready. 

"Want to have a Levin and Aph~Moo day?" I ask, crouching down to him. 

Levin nods frantically. I smile softly, then lead Levin outside. We decide to go to the park, where we then meet Laurance, Cadenza, Marshal, Jeffory, Katelyn and Abby. 

"I'm surprised we're not the only ones here." I say, sitting down near Laurance and Cadenza while Levin runs off to play with Abby and Marshal.

"Appears so." Laurance leans back. 

"Katelyn, when'd you get here?" I ask her. 

"Just a few minutes ago." She replies, smiling. 

"Ugh, school's tomorrow." Jeffory complains. 

"We didn't have school for five months, I wouldn't be complaining." I roll my eyes. 

He doesn't say anything, realizing the LOGIC (Jeffory) of what I said. I then start talking with Cadenza and Katelyn, when I hear someone start to cry. My attention directs towards the playground. I see Levin on the ground with a scrapped knee. 

I rush over to him, "Hey, buddy... What happened?" I ask, crouching down to him. 

I pick him up, then walk away to my house, "I-I-I-I fell.." He cries, tears streaming down his face. Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but it's better than nothing. 

"It's ok." I shush him gently. 

Once we walk into my house, I sit him on the counter then start looking thru some drawers. I find some medicine, then start to clear up Levin's cut. He winces a bit at the disinfectant, but I told him it was going to help him feel better. I wrap a band aid on his cut, then we walk off again. 

"Since you were so good about letting Aph~Moo clean your boo-boo, why don't we go get ice cream?" I offer.

 Levin smiles brightly then starts nodding frantically, "Lets go." We start running to the small ice cream truck. 

Once Levin and I get out cones, we sit down on a bench, "A-APHMAU!" I hear someone pant. It's Malachi. 

"Malachi, what's wrong?" I ask, getting up. 

Levin runs to Malachi,

"Zenix.. He left this for you..." Malachi hands me a crumbled piece of paper. I open it, then start reading.

Dear Aphmau,

I'll be leaving for Italy soon. Recently, mother has gotten severely ill while on vacation, so I have gone out to visit her. Also, about the other night... I was being controlled. I know this because I could see everything, yet couldn't control it. I just regained control last night. I'm so so sorry, Aph. I'll be back soon.

Love you noodles. (Remember that?)

Your friend...

Zenix~

Tears slip down my cheeks as I read the letter.

~Flashback, Aphmau's POV

Zenix and I were 12 year old. We were both learning how to cook noodles (For some weird reason). 

"Gawh, I love you, noodles." Zenix gushes, then hugs the pot full of boiling noodles. 

"OUCH!" He winces, flinching away. 

"I would've told you not to, but you just were too fast." I smirk. The pot is scorching hot, so Zenix runs to the sink and starts drenching himself in ice cold water. 

"WELL THANKS, MOO-Y!" Zenix yells as he's typically bathing under the sink water. 

I chuckle. Zenix then pulls himself away from the sink and dries off with a hand towel. I ruffle my hand thru his damp hair. He swats my hand away, then we continue cooking. 

"ZENIX, IT'S TIME TO GO!" My mom yells from upstairs. 

I check the clock '6:45PM', "Yea, I gotta go home. Dinner's at 7." Zenix says. I walk him to the door, then he hugs me. 

"Love you noodles." He muffles as we release. 

"Love you 'oodles." I reply. We chuckle, then he leaves for his house.

~Reality, Aphmau's POV

I'm just about in tears (Again). I wipe a tear off of my cheek, "Thanks, Malachi." I state. 

He nods, taking Levin away. I guess he knew that I wanted to be alone. I sit down on the bench then grab my phone and start texting Zenix.

Aphmau: You left without telling me?

Zenix: Sorry! It was urgent.

Aphmau: URGENT? Urgent enough to not tell me in person...?

Zenix: Sorrrrrryyyy! This is me right now... (The picture below is the picture Zenix sent Aphmau)

Aphmau: Ugh! We'll talk about this when you get back. When do you get back?

Zenix: Next month. Maybe even sooner, depends on how long it is until mother gets better.

Aphmau: See you then..

Zenix: Love you noodles!

Aphmau: 'Oodles.

Aphmau's POV

I sigh with frustration, then get up. I walk back to my house, ignoring the boys. I sit down on the couch and turn on My Little Horsies to get my mind off of things. Just be safe, Zenix... Ok?
