The Tale of Mobs and Steve

Chapter 10: The Steve Games and The "L" Word

Ok, I know I said this before but my new gear is amazing! For the past three days, Ive been just running around forests,deserts,caves, jungles just punching the snot out of any enemies I encounter. I even sucker punched a creeper into becoming a super charged creeper, then exploding it into a tree leaving behind a huge crater and in the crater was a chicken, I guess the chicken was surprised by this and it laid twelve eggs at once then ran away. I just shook my head with a smirk on my face as I picked up the eggs for breakfast and headed home.

Back home, it was a mad house. In the front yard, Zarah was having a friendly battle with Cecil, at least thats what they said but to me it looked like they wanted to really hurt each other. From my point of view, Zarah ran towards Cecil with her hammer in the air ready to strike her down but Cecil evades her attack by grappling onto a nearby tree then she spoke into her spider grappling hook and thousands of spiders started to swarm around Zarah. It looked like Zarah was about to be eaten alive but at the last second, Zarah jumped high into the air, her hammer landing on the ground first, sending a shockwave that tear open the ground, plunging all of the spiders to their demise. I was just standing there thinking, "Glad I am friends with those girls..."
"I wont lose to you!" Zarah shouted out towards Cecil
"Tuff luck!" Cecil responded back, "I will be the one who wins him!"
"In your dreams, he will be with me!" Zarah said raising her hammer into the air
"What was that about winning who?" I asked walking across what was still left of the front yard
"Steve!" Cecil and Zarah said simultaneously, "When did you get here?"
"Just a few minutes ago." I said with a 'something is fishy' face, "Now what was that about who wins him?"
"O-oh i-its nothing!" Zarah said frantic tone
"Y-yeah, nothing!" Cecil added with the same frantic tone
~30 minutes before Steve returned home~
Third Person POV
Welcome back to the Fearsome Five or in their case, competitors of the Steve games. They are in the living room again, maybe this time they matured over time after getting their gifts and are now focused on the battle they will have to face.
"I think I love Steve." Cupa said without care in the world
Again... I have been wrong before...
"What!" The other ferocious four said simultaneously
"Whats wrong?" Cupa asked curiously
"Well how can you just say that so calmly?" Skelly asked with a shocked tone in her voice
"Well I just do." Cupa replied, "If you love someone then it would feel natural to say it."
"I think... I may... love him... too..." Andrea said hiding her crimson cheeks in her turtleneck
"Oh, what the nether, I love him too." Zarah said proudly
"You too!" Skelly said staring at Zarah with a surprised look
"Come on Skelly, even I am interested in him." Cecil said, "And we all know that you love him too."
As Cecil said this Skelly face began to glow red with a mixture of embarrassment, shock and a hint of happiness, "Alright you got me, I... Love him too."
"Great, so since were on the same page here, I guess we should upgrade our competition."
"We are having a competition?" Cecil asked
"Of course!" Cupa said
"Well, whats the prize?" Zarah asked with curiosity growing on each of the eager girls faces
"The prize is that whoever wins will be able to go on their first date with Steve." Cupa said which she smiled a triumphal smile by the sight of the four other females when they heard what the prize they may be able to win.
"So, I... guess were enemies now..." Andrea said and in almost an instant all of the girls were giving each other the evil eye and this was the beginning of the Steve Games: May the Steve be in your favor.

~Present Time~
Steve's POV
"Oookay, what ever you guys say..." I said as I walked towards the door and entered the house, but it wasn't too long after I heard Cecil and Zarah going at it again. Just then I heard and explosion from the backyard this time and I rushed to the back to see Cupa,Andrea and Skelly, facing each other, scratches, bruises, partially ripped clothing and breathing heavily, with their weapons at the ready.
"What are you guys doing?!" I asked
I believe they were really surprised to see me because they all almost jumped out of their positions when I spoke up
"Steve! When did y-!" They all simultaneously started
"About a few minutes ago." I said, "But what I would like to know is what are you guys doing, fighting each other and setting trees on fire?"
"O-oh, were sorry about that!" Skelly started, "We were... uuuumm..."
"Training!" Andrea added on
"Exactly! Training is what we were doing! Just now! When you asked what we were doing!" Cupa said with a very strange smile
I didn't buy it for a second, but I didn't know what they were really doing so I just waved my hand towards them signaling 'what ever you say' and walked back inside. I went to the kitchen to get a nice refreshing cup of lemonade until I opened the chest and noticed that the lemonade was all gone
"Ah man, I really wanted lemonade." I said in a saddened tone, "Well better squeeze some more."
I made my way to another chest where I found a couple of lemons and so I placed them on the table, where I was about to cut them in half with a knife until Zarah came in to the kitchen
"Wazzup?" She said caring her hammer in her left hand
"Nothing really. Just about to squeeze a couple lemons" I replied placing the knife onto the lemon
"You dont have to do it like that." Zarah continued, "Here, let me help you."
I was expecting her to take my place and cut the lemon in a way that only a ninja of the fruit can do, but she just smashed it with her hammer causing lemon juice to coat almost the entire kitchen, Zarah and myself
"I am so sorry, Steve!" Zarah said in a apologetic tone
I just whipped the lemon juice away from my eyes and smiled widely at her and said in a joking tone,"Dont worry about it, I love getting smeared in the face with lemon juice."
As I said this her entire face shimmered a bright crimson and her eyes widened with surprise.
I noticed her reaction and said, "Hey, are you ok?" And whipped some juice off of her cheek, which she then jumped a bit when my hand made contact
"I-I-Im f-fin!" She said in the same frantic tone as before, "Its just that you said... that "L" word..." Which she then ran upstairs
""L" word? Does she mean lemon juice?" I asked myself
