Chapter Nine


"He stole my Jellie a year ago." He whispers. I roll my eyes and jokingly shove him. If Scar is going to tell me up front then I'll have to figure it out myself.

"C'mon Scar, let's go stock up my shop." I say and guide him over to it.

"Coming!" Scar yells, running over and following me to my shop. I place down my shulkers and we both grab a handful of stock and shove it into the chests, after I take out the diamonds of course.

"How often do you do this?" Scar asks, walking back to the shulkers.

"About every other week." I say, walking into my shop.

"Every other week?" Scar asks, astonished.

I smile, glad I could surprise Scar. "Yep!"

"Wow, you must really care about this shop then, huh?" Scar asks and I know my face is turning red from embarrassment.

"No~ I don't spend days gathering these materials." I deny. Scar just laughs and continues helping me.

Once we finish up, I pick up all the boxes and gazed at all my new goods stuffed into the chests.

I smile and walk out to where Scar's chatting with Mumbo.

"Oh! Hey Grian! How's your shop going?" Mumbo greets, waving me over.

"It's good! What are you doing here?" I ask, curious. I glance over at Scar and notice he's out of breath.

'I over worked him. I mean, he did do nothing for ten months, he's probably not used to all this.'

"I was just coming to buy some sand, I'm doing a huge excavation and I need tnt." Mumbo explains. I smile and open one of my shulkers that has leftover stock.

"Here, you can give me the payment later." I say handing him a stack of packed sand.

"Oh! Thank you!" Mumbo says and puts into his backpack.

"No problem! I'll hopefully see you later!" I say and guide Scar away. I open my backpack and look at all the diamonds I got.

"I started with 20, I have 2 stacks and 32, so that means I got... 2 stacks and... 12 diamonds from today!" I say, happily putting them back.

"Do you want to get anything from anywhere Scar?" I ask, looking up at him.

"Really?"

"Yep! I've got loads of money!" I brag, holding up a stack of diamonds for him to look at.

"Show off." He grumbles but runs over to Impulse's shop, which was selling heads.

"Look at all of these! Imagine how many wandering traders this guy had to trade with!" Scar announces.

"Haha, yeah. Must've been a lot." I agree.

Scar buys a load of heads, most of which I had no clue what he would use them for.

"Okay, so that would be... two stacks of diamonds?" Scar says cautiously.

"Two stacks?" I ask, not sure I heard him right.

"Yeah, I can put some back if it's too much." Scar mutters, turning around to put some away.

"No need, I have enough." I blurt and place a stack of diamonds in a chest.

Scar looks like he's about to cry. Or maybe kiss me. "Really! Thank you Grian!"

'I wouldn't mind if he kissed me.'

Wait, what?

"L-let's go now, you've got your heads and I've got my shop restocked." I say, flustered.

"Okay!"

I lead Scar to the nether portal and over to his old, nearly broken nether portal.

(If portals aren't used for a long time they begin to crumble.)

"Why are we going to my house?" Scar asks and I begin to fumble for an answer.

"Well, uhh... I need to do some work on my base, so I was dropping you off." I say, not looking up at Scar.

"Oh, okay. I'll see you tomorrow then." Scar sadly says, walking into his house.

My heart shatters into pieces to see him this sad. Why did I care so much?

"See you tomorrow, Scar!" I shout after him, leaving to my base.

No reply.

'Why do I care so much? I didn't care this much with Mumbo, did I?'
