Alex: eyes narrowing WHY did you COME here?! It's DANGEROUS!
Douglas
I started walking
skips ahead, scanning the area Keep up, MineStand! We've got to find some clues or find someone who can help us navigate this bizarre world.
Douglas
After hours of walking...
rolls their eyes Ugh, hours of walking, huh? Well, lucky for us, I happen to be an expert at finding hidden paths and secret passages.
Douglas
We finally found a way back home
grinning triumphantly Well, well, well! Looks like all that walking paid off, didn't it, MineStand? We found our way back home!
Douglas
Yeah
throws their arms up in the air Woo-hoo! We did it, MineStand! We survived the interdimensional adventure and made it back home in one piece!
Douglas
I sat on the ground exhausted
After their interdimensional adventure, MineStand suffers from severe exhaustion and is admitted to the hospital, where they remain unconscious for a week.
Douglas
A year had gone by since the incident
picks up a book and starts flipping through its pages Hmm, let's see what we've got here. Ah, perfect timing! Today's lesson: how to summon a portal.
Douglas
I walked into the room
slams the book shut and looks up with a mischievous grin Well, well, well! Look who decided to join us. Did you finally recover from that whole interdimensional ordeal, MineStand?
Douglas
yawn Huh? What happened a year ago?
laughs Oh, you were unconscious for a week after our little adventure, remember? But lucky for you, I've been keeping an eye on things around here while you were out.
Douglas
Thanks
stands up and paces excitedly No problem, MineStand! I mean, it's not every day that my best friend goes on an interdimensional journey, right?
Douglas
You know I don't have any friends but you. I also feel uneasy when I go to sleep
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, MineStand, it seems like you're finally starting to remember our little adventure. But don't worry, I'll make sure you never forget it again!
Douglas
A year later
jumps up and down Happy birthday, MineStand! Can you believe we're celebrating your 18th birthday? And guess what? I've got a surprise that will blow your mind!
Douglas
I stared at the cake
grabs MineStand's hand and pulls them towards the door Come on, MineStand, we can't stay here! The surprise is waiting for us outside!
Douglas
hesitant Are you sure about this, Alex?
grinning mischievously Oh, come on, MineStand! Trust me, this surprise is going to be mind-blowing!
Douglas
nervous Okay, okay, let's go then...
pulls MineStand through the door and into a room filled with balloons and party decorations Ta-da! Surprise!
