Steve started to cry. He said “Okay, so you just need invisibility status effect”
Bob just moaned.
Steve said “Bob! This isn’t funny! You aren’t a zombie villager!”
Another moan
Steve hung up and rushed to Kathy’s house and banged on the door quite loudly.”
Kathy answered in her PjJs and groaned “I was asleep. What do you want?”
Steve said “Get Tristan. I would like to tell both of you the news at the same time”
Kathy went up to Tistan’s room and came down with him.
Steve said “Now equip your armor. We’re going to my house.”
Kathy said “We only have iron. Will that work?”
“Yes”
Tristan and Kathy equipped their armor and went back to Steve’s house with Steve.
Steve said “Now we should go to the couch or my bed.”
Tristan said “Bed please. Then I can go right back to sleep afterwards.”
Kathy said “I’m sorry Steve, Tristan doesn’t mean that.”
“Yes I do.”
“Well I won’t let you!”
Steve said “Kath it’s fine you may fall asleep in my bedroom tonight.”
They all headed to Steve’s bedroom and sat on the bed.
Steve said “I’m sorry. I have some bad news to break to you.”
Tristan said “Yeah we know you’ll have to have villager meat in your house.”
Kathy said “Tristan! Steve never brings any villager to his house in the middle of the night for something the villager already knows….Come to think of it he has never done it. Anyways he has never or would never do this if it were something we already knew.”
Steve said “So, you know how it suddenly turned nighttime?”
“Yeah” Kathy and Tristan said
“You know how zombies come out at night?”
“Yeah”
“You know baby zombies are faster than regular zombies”
“Yeah.”
Kathy and Tristan were beginning to think Steve just brought them to his house to chat.
Steve said “You know all variants of zombies including babies turn villagers into zombie villagers?”
Kathy and Tristan “Yes! What’s your point Steve?!”
“I’m getting there! You know how Bob left?”
“Yeah”
“You know I called Bob recently and was talking to him while it suddenly became nighttime?”
“Yes! If you don’t get to your point soon Steven, we’ll be leaving”
“Well, while I was talking to him he kind of sort of may have become zombified by a baby zombie.”
“Call him so I can hear him.” Kathy said
“Fine!” Steve said.
Steve pulled out his phone and called Bob.
He said “Hello Bob, Kathy would like to speak with you.” and handed over the phone.
Kathy said “Hi Bob.”
Bob just moaned.
Kathy hung up and said “Welp… I guess you’re right”
Steve then got worried because the moon was beginning to set and he knew what happened to zombie villagers in sunlight.
He called Bob back and said “Now Bob, I would love it if you hid under a roof until I arrive.”
Bob moaned.
Steve said “One minute! I’ll log onto my computer to translate that.
Steve logged onto his computer and got onto a zombie villager translator site and asked Bob to repeat.
Bob said “Okay Tristan.”
Steve began to sob and said “He’s forgotten me!”
Kathy came over and said “Would you like me to tell you his coordinates?”
Bob moaned and what the translator said he meant was “I’m right outside village number 5,000”
Steve ran over to his bookcase and pulled down the village numbers book. He said “Go under a roof, understand?” “Bob said “Yes”
“And don’t attack anyone!”
“Yes Stistan”
Steve said “He’s getting closer.”
“Bye!”
“Bye”
Steve hung up and said “Okay. Village 5.000”
Kathy said “Steve! No! That village is in too dangerous!”
Steve said “Yeah right. I have done more PvP battles than you can even imagine”
“No! It’s in a swamp biome and there is a pillager outpost in the center of it.”
Steve gulped and said “Is there at least a protector?”
“No.”
Steve nodded and said “I think I can handle it”
“Okay Steve, just remember your weakness potion and golden apple. As well as a sword in case you need it. “
Tristan said “And maybe-”
Steve cut him off and said “I’ve heard just about enough from YOU . Bob may be DEAD because of you!”
Kathy said “Steve, I’m sorry to tell you thi but, it’s your fault. You confessed to doing it before, you admitted you were Tristan the greifer AND most importantly, you sent him out of the village!”
Steve started to sob and said “I guess you’re right. Go ahead Tristan”
“Some armor. Two sets. One for you and one for Bob.”
Steve nodded and said “I understand Kathy, can you please go back to your house and grab some of Bob’s armor?”
Kathy said “Sure.” and went home.
About five minutes later, she came back and said “Here.”
Steve grabbed it and said “Thanks, now time to go!”
Tristan said “Mom can I please go with Steve?”
Kathy looked at Steve who was practicing with his sword.
Kathy said “Well…it’s up to him. I would be against it because you may get zombified. If Steve promised not to let you get zombified I give you approval to go. Steve what do you say?”
Steve said “Yeah sure whatever.”
Kathy took the sword out of Steve’s hands and said “Steve! Do you promise not to let Tristan get zombified or killed by an illager?”
Steve rolled his eyes and said “Fine. I may fail but if I d, I’ll call you immidately after I notice”
“Tristan, you may go”
Steve said “Woah there missy! I never said he could come with me!” and pointed at Tristan.
Tristan whined “Please! I PROMISE I won’t do anything bad or dumb or disturb you.”
Steve said “Let me think about it.”
Kathy then said “Steve, if it would make you feel better, I could come too.”
Steve said “No! I don’t want to put you in danger! I’ve already put Bob in enough danger! I don’t want to put you in danger too”
Tristan looked at Kathy and Kathy said “Please convince him.
Kathy said “Steve, can we talk downstairs?”
Steve and Kathy headed downstairs.
Kathy said “Now Steve, I know you don’t want us to come regular. But what if we take some invisibility potions for us to hide from the illagers?”
Steve nodded and said “Fine. I’ll only give you two each. The longer one.”
Kathy nodded and yelled “Tristan! I convinced him!”
Tristan came tearing down the stairs knocking all the pictures on the wall to the floor. Steve heard his pictures falling to the floor and began to feel his anger boil inside him. When Tristan ran into him the anger began to boil more violently.
He said "Come on, we better get going.”
He grabbed some food and five invisibility potions and headed off with Tristan’s family.
