Aidan, a real world child, died of an illness. God knew that he would love to build, so He placed Aidan in a blocky universe without any rules. There, he found himself fully grown and free on illness. He built a house out of wood and a bed to sleep and respawn. One day, Aidan decided to go to the lake. Always in his hand was a flint and steel, ready to burn mobs. He saw a shadow and began to produce sparks.
"Hi." The voice sounded high and sweet, like a flute. Aidan stepped closer. He sheepishly put his flint and steel away.
"Hi. I'm Aidan." He introduced himself hesitantly.
"I'm Piper," the voice's source replied. Her light gray eyes, pink lips, and purple shirt reminded Aidan of all desirable traits of females combined. She had his mother's hair, Ava Westerberg (a girl he befriended during his earth life)'s light gray eyes, and a nurse's pink lips. Her purple cardigan made her look even more like Ava.
They dated for three years and Aidan wanted to propose to Piper. He had diamonds ready.
"You're home, Aidan," Piper said uncomfortably, "An unplanned child is on its way into our lives."
"Don't be absurd, Piper."
"It's true."
"What?"
They named the child Steve and their wedding was planned three months later. Piper held a crying
Steve while talking to a testificate about centerpieces. Later, Aidan held Steve while Piper browsed
through wedding dress catalogs. She wanted one with a flowing silk skirt and jeweled bodice. It had a purple tint, which Aidan thought to be the best color on her. Steve had Aidan's skin, Piper's hair, and
a set of lapis lazuli eyes that neither of them had.
On the day of Aidan and Piper's wedding, a group of zombies and skeletons decided to visit. Before they could say "I do," the mobs attacked and the only thing that remained of them were their heads. Steve lay there helpless and had to fend for himself from that moment.
