My name is Zachcheung. Actually, it's Gnuehchcaz , which is backwards from my actual name. I spelled it backwards, thinking it would be funny once everyone moved to the Lego Eternal City. We all originally lived in the Lego Message City but it was demolished by the Mayor. He claimed that everyone lives somewhere else, far away from there. A good many users didn't want to, though, so a few citizens from the LMC, our nickname for our old home, rose and built LEC. It's not the same but I'm happy that we didn't have to move far. Like to New Zealand or Japan or the United States, away from each other with little to no contact in different parts of the world. We're all from other places, originally, and we moved to the LEC for a new life. I was originally from the United States. I had just finished college, and didn't quite know what I wanted to do. I heard about the LMC and decided to make it my home. Now, I live in the Finding Friendships Apartment. Its abbreviation is FF, considering that FFA makes a lot of people think of the Future Farmers of America.
[SHORTENED]
"And what of your companions?" I look at Rome and Bun.
"I, uh, know that a quest of any kind is against the rules," Rome begins. "Which is why I shall be supervising this moderator-controlled vacation." He winks at me.
"I will gladly volunteer for this, uh, vacation," Bun says happily. I smirk at the little "cover-up".
"Great," Shamrock says. "Allow me to tell you about the Necklace of Travel."
This is. . . you're professionally trained. You must have been.
"That's why you wanted me." I look up to see a boy with dark blond hair and rich blue eyes. He's wearing a red and white striped sweater, blue sweatpants, and black tennis shoes. "Here I thought I was in trouble for not dressing up properly. Steph didn't say who or what wanted me." I smile at my friend.
RomeNZ ... applied a while back, right before they closed the applications to become one, and after a few months, they gave him a call saying he got the job and if he still wanted it.
I don't remember telling you that... Are you a post-stalker?
"Well, let's see." Rome starts to think. "K loves Star Wars. That's kinda a given." I don't pay a lot of attention to Rome's nickname for her and just shake my head.
"Ninjago?" Rome asks bluntly. Though I'm sure he didn't mean any harm by it.
"Yeah!" Bun exclaims, not thinking about how Rome stated the word she was looking for. "Something from that. I don't see a lot of stuff on that out in the streets."
"I try not to," I state. "If we are caught talking about this-"
"Which is exactly why I'm whispering. Look. I heard Rome's going to help you find a present for K66. Before you ask, no, no one has told anyone. We just all know you two had done this for your birthdays, so everyone picked up on the fact that you'd be doing it for Christmas. Anyway, don't you think it would be nice if she could go somewhere other than here?" I stare into her eyes, studying them.
"Rome was already saying something along those lines. Except with the shows and movies she watches. What about it?"
"She could go home with what Rome is talking about. I don't know a lot about it either, but I do know that it will take you anywhere and everywhere." Her eyes go big, and I start to understand what she's saying.
"I'll be careful with it. I promise. I'll let her know of all the dangers." She shakes her head, smiling.
"That's not what I mean. She could leave us and never come back. We would never see her again." I swallow.
"But it would be worth it," I say, knowing it's the truth. I think back to those times she would cry on my shoulder. Crying because she thought of her brother. I swallow. "For me, it would be worth it to know that she would be with her family. She misses them."
"We all miss our families. Why is it different for her? Zach. You could get in big trouble for doing this." I shake my head.
"I have to take my chances." She looks down. "Tigress, I have to try." She looks back up, studying my face. She glances down for a second and looks back at me. Understanding, she nods her head.
"I will make sure she doesn't notice your leave too much." I smile.
"Thank you." She nods.
"Be careful." I watch as she walks out of the building. Swallowing, I put the book back up and back to FF. I go back up to my room. It's 8:00. I take a shower and change into my pajamas. Finding nothing else to do, I brush my teeth and climb into bed. 8:45 is the last time I know.
So, essentially, LMBE is some sort of prison encampment?
