Chapter 15: Jovial
( Grayson's P.O.V )
"Drake?" I asked in worry, as I picked him up from the ground.
He was unconscious.
"What do we do?" I heard Mia ask. I looked back at Drake.
"I don't know. Last time this happened, he didn't remember."
"But he was talking to us."
"He talked last time. He'll probably forget. If he does, neither of us will mention this to him. Okay?" I informed Mia, who nodded. I put Drake in his sleeping bag.
"I'm...going back to sleep..." Mia trailed off as she got inside her sleeping bag.
"Okay. I'll keep watch just in case something happens to him."
Hours later, nothing happened, so I went to sleep. I was tired.
-----
I woke up to the smell of mutton. I sat up and saw that Mia was already awake as Drake was still asleep.
"Morning." Mia called. She handed me my plate.
"Good morning. Did you give Drake a health potion?" I asked.
"Yep. You think he'll remember last night..?" Mia inquired. I was confused but quickly remembered what she was mentioning. I look over at Drake and frowned.
"I'm not sure."
( Drake's P.O.V )
----------
My eyes shot open and I looked around. I was staring at the night sky that were glimmering full of stars.
'Hmm. Now I know why Mia likes the stars so much.' I thought. I looked at my sides and saw that I was laying on grass. I sat up and saw the same exact small village I saw a couple of days ago.
I heard a boy shout, "DDAADD!!!" The voice startled me a bit and I went over and peeked in the window. I saw what looked like a human version of me. It had to be Collin.
I would normally be sad or curious, but I choked down a laugh at what I saw the boy in. It was Armen's old house. It was much more tidy and there weren't any holes or vines. I peeked around and I saw that what had given me my humanity was dressed up like a girl. It looked like he had a wig on, but you could tell just barely. It was brown, straight, long and hung over his shoulders. He was wearing black sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt and had white socks on. They were probably pajamas. He had pink lipstick and sloppy blue eye shadow on his eyelids and pink blush on his cheeks. I saw what were most likely his parents staring at him in shock and his father supposedly, was on the verge of laughter.
Behind the boy, you saw a younger one with jet black hair and big light blue eyes that carried much innocence and curiosity. He was sitting on the floor sideways with his legs kicking in the air repeatedly. He was laughing his head off with a smudge of eyeshadow on his face.
"LOOK AT WHAT HE DID TO ME!" The boy yelled, but more in a playful than angry way.
"Armen. What did you do to him?!" The woman shouted, the same tone as the boy. I turned to face a child version of 'Armen'.
"I was just giving you the daughter you've always wanted!" He said in between laughs. Their father then burst out into laughter. The mother turned and smacked him on the shoulder.
"Zan! Don't laugh!" She yelled, stiffening a laugh herself. I was covering my mouth with my hand and laughing quietly to myself.
"Yeah! Dad that's not funny! Wait, mom are you about to laugh?!" He yelled. The woman turned around and shook her head. He cocked an eyebrow and twitched his hand.
"Mom...?" She turned back around with a small smile on her face.
"No, I am not. Zan, don't laugh!" She said as she smacked 'Zan' on his shoulder again. 'Zan' eventually stopped laughing and fought off a smile.
"You're right. Armen, you know you shouldn't go through your mother's things!" He scolded.
"I know, I didn't mean too, but...I mean...just look at him!" 'Armen' said, holding his hands out towards 'Collin'. He then burst out into laughter again. All of them shook there heads except 'Armen'.
"Collin, you can go clean yourself up. Armen's going to help you. If you need help, just call me okay?" The mother instructioned them.
"Yep! Come on Armen, you're helping me." 'Collin' said, starting to take off the wig.
"Before you two go." The mother began.
They both spun around and faced them.
"I never had or bought a wig. Where did you get it?" She asked suspiciously. All eyes were on 'Armen'. He giggled playfully.
"You'll never find out..." He then laughed like crazy and ran out of the room, arms everywhere.
"Armen! Tell me now!" 'Collin' called after him chasing him upstairs. After they were out of the earshot, the two grownups looked at eachother. They then started laughing.
"I can hear you!" 'Collin' called. They both instantly shut their mouths from more laughter coming out.
I smiled and sensed something behind me. I turned my head slowly and saw an enderman. In one of its hands, was a dandelion. It didn't seem to notice me.
'Must be the same enderman...' I thought.
"What am I even doing here?" I mumbled quietly to myself. Almost as if on que, the scenery changed. Before it completely did, I heard a giggle. The same giggle I heard before that light spirit helped me. After that the whole scenery changed again. I was outside of the window again and it was nighttime, except the moon was starting to go down. And that there were 'Zan', the child version of 'Armen' and 'Collin'.
They appeared to be cooking something.
"Dad, the eggs are done!" I heard 'Collin' whisper-yell.
"Okay, here put them on the plate." Their father whispered back.
"Why are we whispering?!" 'Armen' asked.
"Shhh! Your mother's sleeping Armen!" His father scolded.
"Sorry, but why are we whispering?!" The child version of 'Armen' whispered. 'Armen' looked about 9 years old and the giver of my humanity looked like 13 or so. The same age as when 'Armen' put makeup on 'Collin'.
"Because we don't want to wake up mom! This meal we're making is for her!" 'Collin' whispered back.
"Really? I thought we were making breakfast." 'Armen' stated, titling his head to the side. 'Collin' face-palmed. 'Armen' laughed quietly.
"I know, I was just joking. I'm hungry." He said.
"We're almost done. All we need is the orange juice and flowe-" the father stopped in mid-sentence.
"We forgot the juice and flowers." He whispered quickly. The two boys gasped silently. After a couple of moments, they all started running around the kitchen. I ducked even lower.
"What are we going to do?! Armen, you were in charge of the juice!"
"And you were in charge of the flowers!" 'Armen' whispered back to 'Collin'. You heard the front door slam. 'Armen', 'Collin', and I all turned to the door and saw the hair of the father. They both ran out the front porch.
"Dad! Where are you going?!" 'Armen' asked.
"To get juice and flowers!" He called back. I chuckled to myself at how they forgot, and how 'Armen' forced makeup on 'Collin'.
"Hey look! There's an enderman!" I heard 'Armen' call. I heard someone gasp. It sounded like 'Collin's'. I peeked around the corner and saw the tall figure staring at them. And making eye contact. 'Collin' quickly covered his brother's eyes.
"Armen! Don't make eye contact with....it..." He then realized he was making eye contact with it. Though the enderman just stared at them in wonder. This time, it wasn't holding a dandelion in its hand.
'Collin slowly uncovered 'Armen's' eyes. The enderman did not attack him either.
"Umm....are you gonna.......attack us....or something...?" 'Collin' asked it, trailing off. It's arms shook a bit. The enderman said nothing for a couple of moments before saying,
"Hiya" in the enderman language.
(A/N I actually watched a video about an enderman that says that if you reverse the enderman's sound, it sounds like it's saying certain words. 'Hiya' was one of them.)
The two boys looked at eachother in confusion. 'Collin' slowly walked towards it.
"Hello...." He said awkwardly. The figure put its head to one side and looked down at him. It had not done anything but stare.
"Drake." I jumped when I heard my name. 'Collin' turned around to face 'Armen'.
"What? Who's that?" He asked.
"Doesn't he look like his name would be Drake?" 'Armen' asked innocently.
'Collin' turned back around and slowly made eye contact with the enderman. He narrowed his eyes, studying it. 'Does that mean...I'm the enderman? I've always wondered why the enderman was there.' I thought to myself.
"He...he actually does!" 'Collin' exclaimed.
"Aren't I smart!" Armen said playfully, readjusting imaginary glasses.
"I wouldn't call you smart..." 'Collin' trailed off, laughing.
"Hey!" 'Armen' exclaimed. Both boys soon began to break in a laughter. I looked at the enderman. It arms were still shaking slightly, but it was also had a tiny smile on its face. You heard loud sprinting across the distance. The enderman, or I guess, 'I' teleported away quickly.
"I got it!" 'Zan' exclaimed.
----------
I woke up in a sudden jolt. Mia and Grayson whipped their heads around and looked at me.
'I shouldn't tell them...' I thought.
"Drake. Uh...do you remember last night?" Mia asked. I was confused.
"Just that we looked at the maps we got and went sleep." I answered. "Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering to make sure you didn't urge us to go looking for the map again." Grayson responded.
"Hmmm...." I said with suspicion.
