'What happened?'

Cub turned, eyes widening at the sight of Grian.

'What?'

'What happened?' Grian repeated, stepping into the room. 'Cub, what happened?'

'Nothing happened!' A pause. 'I mean... It was Scar...'

'Cub I want to know. What happened with Scar?'

Silence. Cub turned away, walking further into his base. He learnt in the fence, staring down. After a moment, Grian stepped over.

'Cub...'

Silence.

Grian crossed his arms.

'Well if you won't tell me what it was, then you can at least tell me how I can help clear it up.'

Cub let out a sigh.

'We were supposed to meet at the pyramid...'

'The TCG pyramid?'

'Are there any other pyramids on the server?' Cub shot back, turning. 'Come on. You're right. We should fix it.'

'And Scar should join us.'

A pause.

'Scar's too scared of what happened. He... I told him it was alright, but he...'

'And you're blaming yourself for that because...'

'It was my idea! I forgot to message him... I'm the reason it all went wrong.' Cub paused, letting out a breath. 'I'm the reason he...'

Grian sighed.

'Cub... It'll be alright. Let's just go to Scarland, find Scar and get this over with.'

And, refusing to say another word, Grian turned, walking back into Scar's starter base and out of sight.

What had he done?

Scar sat, doors locked and breath rising, in the farthest cubical of the Scarland toilets. Alone. No one knew he was here.

He'd promised.

He'd PROMISED he wouldn't mess up and... Then he did. He'd failed. And Cub... Cub would forgive him for anything, but...

'Scar?'

He let out a small scream at Grian's voice, cutting off sharply, trying to stop him from finding him... He didn't know. He wouldn't know...

'Hey... Hey Grian...'

'Are you hiding again?'

'No?' Scar replied. 'I'm not hiding. Everything's fine. I did nothing wrong.'

'Cub told me what happened. Well... I figured out that something had happened and told Cub we were sorting it out.'

'How? You can't go back in time...'

'Scar... Where's the entrance to this place... Scar. Scar.' Grian's voice grew nearer, until it was right outside the cubical. After a moment of hesitation, Scar reached forwards, unlocking the door. Grian pushed it, giving a small sympathetic laugh at the sight of him crouching on the toilet, eyes wide.

'Aww... It's ok...' Grian walked over, hugging him. Scar hugged back, maybe laughing, maybe crying. 'We'll just sort it all out. Me, you and Cub.'

'You don't know what I did... Well, what I didn't do...' Mumbled Scar.

'It doesn't matter. Whatever it is can be fixed.'

'It can't.'

'Scar, trust me.' Grian broke from the hug, looking his friend in the eyes. 'Trust me. Whatever it is, it's not the end of the world.'

Scar didn't reply, just pushing past Grian, leaving the toilets.

'Scar?'

'I... I need to talk to Cub. Explain... Explain what happened.'

'He doesn't know? I thought you...'

'He doesn't know the full story. He doesn't know what actually happened with me and... and Bdubs...'

'Bdubs?'

Scar froze, silent. Grian frowned.

'What happened with Bdubs?'

No reply.

'Scar what happened....' But it was too late as Scar flew away.

You whispered to Bdouble0100: Hey, what happened between you and Scar last night?

Grian sighed as he stared down at the message again. There was still no reply, even after half-eavesdropping on Cub and Scar's conversation behind Scarland for half an hour. But nothing would be wrong, right?

'Grian, you're still here?'

'Yeah.' Grian blinked, looking sharply up as Scar appeared, Cub close behind. 'Yeah, I... Didn't know you'd be so long. Did you sort everything out?'

The convex exchanged a glance. Cub shrugged.

'Yeah, yeah... Everything's fine.'

'Good.' But Cub was always a good liar. And Bdubs... Grian glanced down at the message again. Bdubs' lack of reply. 'Well... Would either of you be up to helping me gather resources for my base tonight?'

'Ohh... I'm so sorry. We've got something... Planned... For then.' Scar grimaced. 'Sorry. It's... To finish clearing everything up.'

'Yeah.'

Grian looked between the two.

'Alright. I'll see you two tomorrow.' He watched at Cub took to the air, Scar close behind. Only when they were out of sight did he sigh. What had happened? How did it relate to Bdubs?

His communicator buzzed.

Bdouble0100 whispered to you: Just an argument. He missed an important meeting with Cub

Grian let out a sigh of reliefs. Nothing was wrong with Bdubs. But... What was this meeting about? Why were they meeting? Or... Why didn't Scar meet? What was going on?

More confused than ever, Grian closed chat, and flew back to his base to try and relax.

The pyramid was the only light around as Scar landed. He called a greeting. No reply. He was early.

Not too much wandering around later, Cub arrived, giving a smile as he landed.

'Hey, Cub!' Scar smiled back. 'So... Should we do what we should've done... before?'

'Yeah... Where should we do it?'

'Wherever it's darkest. And somewhere that no one will ever disturb us...'

Grian sighed as filled the 2th shulker with sand, unable to get Cub and Scar's situation out his mind. Of course they were allowed to have secrets, but when they're this... Weird? Grian gathered all his shulkers together, decided it was enough and took to the air.

The wind beneath his wings, the breeze on his face... Grian had to admit to himself it cheered him up, gave a moment of relaxation.

A flash of light below.

Grian frowned, turning. A pair of hermits were lying down, just visible from a glow of blue...

Cub and Scar?

Grian glided out the way, landing just out of sight, watching as Scar pointed at the sky.

'That's casso... Cassipo...'

'Cassiopoeia?' Cub corrected, his smile clear in his voice.

'Yeah! And... There's Capricorn.'

'And The Plough... We should do this more often.'

A moment of silence. Grian frowned. They were just stargazing? And... Nothing else?

'I'm sorry about last night. I... I just started telling Bdubs about the Mandolorian and...' Cub laughed. Scar joined in.

'You know, if there was anything that stopped us from looking at real stars, it was Star Wars.'

Both burst out laughing. Even Grian gave a small chuckle to himself.

'But seriously, I'm so sorry...'

'Nah, don't worry about it, Scar...I forgive you.'

'So... Friends?'

'Always.'
