“Just kidding!” and laughed.
Steve said “Never have I met a legend from this area of the world. So, tell me, what region of PvP are you in? I’m in the middle north division”
“Here? It's far south. I just hope you didn’t do any battles here.”
Steve chuckled nervously and said “Why’s that?”
“Oh, you will never be able to watch, participate or even listen to PvP again. Well… you will but only if you sell your house”
Steve said “Where will I live?”
“A villager’s house clearly!”
“I can’t just take over a villager’s house!”
“Oh I see. Good thing I was kidding about that”
Alex then came up to Steve holding Zuri and said “Steve! Zuri here was beating up this kid named Billy Randetal.”
The legend said “Oh my! I’ve got to check if he’s alright!”
“You’re the parent?”
“Yes! Now, goodbye.”
“Talk to you soon?”
“No! Your kid is out of control!”
Steve glared at Zuri and said “Zuri! I was making friends with another legend! You ruined it!”
Zuri said “I’m so sorry Steve.”
Steve nodded and said “I have to punish you somehow. How about you don’t do PvP for two months?”
“That’s fair.”
Then the legend came back with a kid and said “Steve, I’m sorry for the way I acted. My kid called your kid a circle. Then he called you a circle. We’re still friends. I may even come by your village and visit some time.”
Steve got out and grabbed his phone and gave his number to the legend and the other legend gave Steve his number.
Steve entered the number and then said “Name?”
“Endy Edwards”
“Oh, the former greifer?”
“Yeah”
Alex then came over with the kids and Steve’s friends and said “Steve, time to play with your kids. I need a break”
Steve got out of the hot tub and went over to his kids and said “Glad we’ll be home soon. You’re going back to school the day after we get back!”
Steve then got a call from the school.
Steve said “Hello?”
The school said “Hello Steve! We’re calling about your children’s most recent grades. Specifically Noor’s. He keeps getting 0s on his tests and his grades are dangerously low. He can do a test on a subject of your choice that could make it rise to a C. You have to pick the topic by when he returns to school!”
Steve said “Already decided, the test will be on PvP.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I have over 100 PvP books ranging from the most basic of things like what the tools are to the most advanced things like ways to tell what enchantments are on a sword.”
“Difficulty level?”
“Umm hard?”
“Hard it is. The test will be exactly a week after he gets back to school.”
Steve said “A week?! Welp, I guess that works.” and hung up.
Alex said “I see you heard about the bad grades. He’s doing a difficult PvP test, isn’t he?”
“Yeah”
“Welp. You better help him study for it. He only has a week”
Steve yelled “All of my kids out!”
Steve gulped and said “Noor, why are you failing school?”
Noor started to cry and said “I can’t help it!”
Alex said “Steve, you’ve got to help him study for his big PvP test! You picked the category, you help him!”
Steve sighed and said “Alex, let me be frank with you, I really don’t know that much about PvP. I just say I do to fit in with the other legends.” and started to cry.
Zuri said “Aww Steve, I can help you. I have done an excessive amount of research on PvP.”
“Aww, that’s very sweet of you Zuri. But, I think I can teach myself. Now I have all this free time” and began to cry harder.
Endy overheard Steve say he didn’t know much about PvP and speed walked up to Steve and yelled “You are a faker! You aren’t really a legend! All you are is a loser with a bunch of PvP awards! You know what, we're not friends anymore!” and deleted Steve from his contact list. And said “There, deleted from the list. And unless you want your family’s whole legacy to shatter, I’d advise you to get out of my sight!”
Steve began to cry harder than he had ever cried in his whole life.
Ari jumped in between them and said “Don’t talk to Steve that way! He’s a legend and the whole world knows it and admits it! You’re just jealous that he is higher ranked than you!”
Steve said “Ari, stay out of this.”
Zuri opened her mouth to speak, But, before she said anything Alex said “Zuri, I’d advise you to stay out of this. Same with all you kids.”
All his kids nodded.
BIlly said “Steve! You’re so funny, you pretend to like PvP but deep down I know you’re just doing that to continue your legacy.”
Steve cried even harder.
Alex said “Steve is a legend, just look him up on the list.”
Steve said “Alex, I’m afraid I haven’t been completely honest with you. I am not really a legend. Now I’ll just sit in my room for the rest of my life crying because one of my friends exposed me!”
Endy said “That’s all I needed to hear. Pretty soon you’ll be a broken sword thrown to the side of history. I’ll just send this to the council and then you’ll be ruined!”
Noor said “Alex, can I take the phone from his hands and delete the video?”
“Yes. Steve may be super angry at you but, at least his family legacy will be safe and that’s all that matters to him.”
Noor quickly grabbed the phone from Endy’s hands and deleted the video and gave it back.
Noor said “Your family legacy is now safe Steve.”
Steve pushed Noor away and said “Not in the mood” through his tears.
Alex said “Aww Steve, I’ll always love you even though you’re a big faker, I’ll love you forever.''and kissed Steve on the cheek.
Steve said “Let’s go. I don’t want my legacy to shatter.”
Everyone in Steve’s group left.
Steve said “I’m sorry for ruining your fun kids. I just want my legacy to be safe” through his tears
Alex said “Aww Steve, you’re probably just saying you don’t know much about PvP to get out of helping Noor study”
Steve glared at Alex through his tears and wailed “No! I really know nothing about PvP”
Tristan said “Alex, maybe we can help him.”
Alex said “No! This is just one of those things he’ll have to get over by himself.”
They then went back to the car; Steve was crying the whole way.”
When they turned on the news they went to the PvP station and the reporter said “We’ve gotten so many audio recordings of Steve Stonecutter saying he hates PvP. Let’s listen to them now.”
Steve cried even harder and wailed “Welp I’ve let down my family. I’m going to get so many visits from people who used to look up to me over the next year or two.”
His friends wrapped their arms around Steve and said “Aww. Don’t cry. Your villagers, friends and family will love you just the same now.”
Kathy said “Steve? You think you’ll survive now?”
Steve nodded and sniffled and said “Yeah, I guess you’re right”
Alex said “Way to go Kathy!”
Steve said “Let me stay here with my friends forever”
Alex gulped and said “Yeah. You could do that or you could go home with your family and back to your village where you’ve lived most of your life”:
Steve said “I guess i’ll go home”
That night, Steve cried until 11:00. Alex kept trying to help and just made it worse.
The next morning, Alex told Steve to pack his things.
Steve’s eyes were red like the fires of the nether when he woke up.
When Steve had to say goodbye to his long lost friends, he cried a little bit.
Just before They said goodbye to Steve, Bob said “See you next year?”
Steve said “Really? You really accept me even though I’m not really an expert at PvP?”
Kathy laughed and said “Last time we saw you you were nothing more than a weak little loser. But now, you’re a big strong champion! We will always accept you.”
Zuri said “Not me! I don’t look up to him anymore! He used to help me with my PvP homework. Now nobody in the family can!”
Steve said “Umm Zuri, I think Alex may know a little about PvP”
Alex said “Oh no, no no no! I am not getting involved in the kids’ education! Especially in the PvP classes. You will just have to learn to live with them without being knowledgeable in PvP.”
Zuri said “Steve, there are still those advanced classes for people your age.”
Steve said “Zuri, I’m going to be brutally honest with you right now. I’ll have to start with the noob basics and will never make it up to my ideal knowledge level. I’m sorry.”
Zuri said “Better I hear it now than when I’m a parent of a legend”
“Just tell none of your friends about this. If you tell anyone the word will spread and I may even be moved to the PvP hall of frauds. I never want to be there”
Zuri said “I understand.”
All the other kids said “We do too.”
Steve said “Aww that’s my kids!”
Alex then said “Come on Steve!”
Steve then went into security and sighed and said “Welp, time to see if my villagers will still love me.”
Steve then gets a call from his villager, Kathy.
He picked up and said “Yeah?”
“Steve! We are not best friends anymore! We’re not even friends anymore! After admitting your secret, the whole world found out in under three hours.”
Steve then got on the plane with his family and started to cry.
