Solving a Cube

When Interrogating a Cube

Naomi: I wish we have a donut business in our school. What about flavors?

Rubix: I always loved glazed donuts, a favorite of Jordan. I really love strawberry jelly donuts, and whether it's powdered or glazed, I don't mind, just like Declan. And I always thought chocolate donuts were the worst. (Bennett frowns but doesn't say anything) But I gave it a chance and I love chocolate donuts. (Then goes to take the whole plate of donuts) Like Naomi, I don't mind any of the three.

Bennett: So why did you gather us here today, besides... (Looks at Jeclan)

Jordan: Who even started this in the first place?

(Note: Actually, a reader suggested it, but I can't remember if I created the ship name or some reader did)

Declan: I'm going to kill them! Well, not really. But I emphasize the fact that I am very mad.

Rubix: I just wanted to add some FAQ's and news/updates here that I wasn't unable to add in the interview back there. You can take turns reading that paper.

Jordan: (Looks down at the paper in his hand) How long did I have this? How did I even get this?

Rubix: (Waves off) Author powers.

Jordan: Let's see... (Reads) Can you explain more about this new version of TGGBB? Lots of readers are questioning it, and are arguing that you shouldn't change anything.

Rubix: I'm happy lots of people like the original version, but they don't realize that the book is still in its first draft. I wrote the book when I first started writing, barely even having my writing develop properly. I want to rewrite the book in a new version, with better writing skills I have developed, and what you guys deserve, what I deserve. Besides grammar mistakes, I need to take out plot holes like the once a month dinner (Shudder) and for putting more detail and story development I missed or want to add. Such as, I want to add more scenes or ways to show development in the characters. There are then a few things I want to take out, most importantly Parkomi. Some may be happy and some would be sad, but it's necessary. I began Parkomi just as an experiment of your reactions of what would happen if Rayomi was real, and for a way to cause drama in a rift between Naomi and the guys. However, I got carried away and enjoyed writing romance into the book when I realized it wasn't necessary. In the new version, my author's notes will just be a reflection on why I added or took some things out, just so you guys would understand.

Jordan: (Reads) And about-

Declan: Hey, you already asked a question!

Jordan: It's only a small thing!

Declan: But it's unfair.

Jordan: And about- (Declan moves to take the paper away but Jordan pushes him away, then cranes his neck to read the paper) And about the publisher?

Rubix: My parents are really supportive and my family is telling me to publish my book before anything happens. It's mostly talk, but my mom is on the lookout for any publishers willing to take in a cube in need.

Declan: (Was able to grab the paper) Okay, my turn. (Reads) What about the sequel?

Rubix: As I said, it's a slow process, but I'm working on the plot, character developments, everything. There will be more action, drama, and especially humor. I can't wait to show you guys. Also, don't worry. I won't delete the original version. I honestly want to keep it for sentimental reasons, to show aspiring writers that there's hope how a crappy writer like me started writing with grammar mistakes and plot holes to where I will be in the hopeful future- from writing terrible books to slightly less terrible books.
