*Ian's POV*

Today is the day. I have to tell Crainer what I've been hiding from him for a while. No - it's not what you think it is. It's nothing like that. I'm not sure how he'll react, though. Will he be happy? Or will he say I can't?

Oh, to the heck with it. I'm making a video.

I do my upbeat intro, as usual. "Hey, what's going on guys? Ssundee here, and, dudes? I have to tell you something. The SkyFactory part of the video will start soon, but I have to fill you guys in on a secret. Something Crainer doesn't know yet. Something I will tell him today."

I pause for effect, just like I always do to create suspense for the viewers. "I have tickets to Denmark. I'm going to be visiting Crainer."

"Now, I know what you dudes are thinking. 'Ssundee, what the freak are you doing?' Well, let me tell you. Crainer is my best friend, and I just think it's time for a visit. I've never actually met him in real life, so that's what I'll be doing. Now, on to SkyFactory."

*Crainer's POV*

I yawn as I wake up. I eat a little bit of breakfast when I get a text from my best friend, Ian. I smile as I think of him. He's honestly a great friend. A lot of people ship us in real life, but we're not gay. I'm not attracted to Ian in that way. I look at he text and realize Ian wants to record SkyFactory. I text him back and walk over to my computer.

"Crainer?" Ian says as we start recording. "Don't log into the server yet."

"What's going on, Ian?" I ask in a suspicious voice, which helps entertain the viewers. Although, I am suspicious, and knowing myself, I would've probably said it that way in real life.

"I just... I want you to keep an open mind." Ian says, laughing shortly after. I roll my eyes playfully and smile to myself.

"Is this about cobblestone, Ian?" I ask, with Ian still laughing in the background.

"No, Crainer. This is not about cobblestone." Ian tells me. "You can log in now."

I click the button to log in and wait for something bad to happen. Whenever it's Ian's week of SkyFactory, something bad always happens.

"Keep an open mind." Ian reminds me as I log in. I look around. Everything seems normal to me.

"What did you do?" I ask. I can practically hear Ian smiling through the camera.

"I have a confession to make." Ian says. I can tell he's kind of nervous. Ian hardly ever gets nervous, though. I must be mistaken.

"What? Oh wait! I know what you mean!" I say loudly. "You love dirt!"

There is a silence, and I can tell Ian is looking at his camera in a condescending way. "No, I do NOT love dirt."

"Go ahead, tell me!" I say excitedly.

*Ian's POV*

I don't know why I'm so nervous. Crainer should be happy to meet me in real life, right? But what if he says no? What if he thinks I'm a creepy stalker?

"Hello?" Crainer asks through Skype.

I quickly shake my head. "Sorry. I, um..." I wait for Crainer to interrupt me, but he never does. "I have tickets to Denmark."

"WHAT?!?" Crainer shouts. I wait nervously for his reaction. "So I get to meet you in real life?!?"

I smile. He sounds excited. "Yeah, dude!"

"Oh my goodness!" Crainer shouts, jumping around in Minecraft and real life. "When are you coming?"

"My flight is tomorrow..." I say uncertainly.
