Many have heard about the famous Indie game, Minecraft. An openworld sandbox game set in an infinite cubic world where the player can build homes, farm animals, grow crops, mine for materials, go searching for treasure, try to survive the hostile enemies in the wild, and even explore a hellish world. It's a game that many continue to enjoy today. Rodolfo's 14 year old nephew, Isaiah, is no exception. He had just finished gathering plenty of wood to finish construction on his home.
"This wooden house will do just fine until I can gather the material to build a stone brick house. We all gotta start somewhere," Isaiah thought.
"Can you make a house out of dirt?" Rafael, who was also playing, asked.
"You might as well live underground," Gloria responded. She was playing too and gathering coal and iron.
"I knew this was the perfect place to set up our homes," Isaiah thought.
"Of course it is. Why else would there be a village already built here?" said Gloria.
It turned out the three were building their homes in an automatically generated village with many houses already built. Though owned by the villagers.
"Yeah, we'll cheat by taking over the town and claim that it's ours," Gloria snidely remarked.
"Well it seemed like a good idea," Isaiah said making the roof of his house. "Plus we get to trade with the villagers without having to travel too far."
"I still think it's cheating," said Gloria.
Rafael was building the roof of his house too. His house was going to be taller than Isaiah's. Isaiah looked on and said,
"You're building too close to me, Raf. Don't make me call the property manager."
"What property manager?" Rafael asked.
"What do you think you're doing anyway?" Isaiah asked.
"Building the roof to my house. What's it look like?" Rafael responded.
"Didn't it occur to you to build the house first?" Isaiah asked.
Turned out Rafael was building the roof on thin air with no house underneath it and was just floating on his roof platform due to Minecraft physics. He looked down and saw that it was quite a drop below.
"Damn, I knew I was forgetting something. A fall from this high could kill me," said Rafael.
Gloria had just returned with her materials and all the villagers were eyeballing her.
"These villagers are ones to eyeball. Check out their Squidward noses. And why are they all bald and with their arms crossed?" she said.
"Hey, ease up on them. They're our neighbors. And they like to trade with us too," Isaiah said as he traded a farmer villager wheat for an emerald. "Gracias, hombre."
Just then numerous splash potions came dropping from above onto the villager, killing him.
"What the hell?!" Isaiah exclaimed.
Ivan, Ricardo's goth 14 year old nephew, was also playing and had splash potions in his hand.
"Yes! I'm an expert brewer of potions," he thought.
"Murderer! I just witnessed a murder!" Isaiah shouted.
And then Ivan began throwing splash potions at Isaiah too. Isaiah ran away but didn't get too far when the potions caused his avatar to die.
"Oh! No!" Isaiah cried.
"Ivan, what's up with you?" Gloria asked.
Ivan then threw a potion of poison at her, inflicting a poison status on her, causing her health to continously drop.
"No! Don't you even-" Gloria started to say before her avatar died too. Gloria cried, "Oh my god! All the things I mined for! I lost them! No!"
"The venomous snake chick dies to poison herself. How ironic," Ivan thought.
"Ivan, you're a jerk!" said Isaiah.
Ivan looked up at Rafael who was still on his floating roof.
"Hey Rafael. Come down here," said Ivan.
"No. Besides, I can't get down without killing myself," said Rafael.
"Doesn't matter. You're going to die either way," Ivan stated.
Just then, something green was approaching Ivan while his back was turned which Rafael noticed.
"Hey Ivan, behind you," he warned.
Ivan turned and found a Creeper right in his face which exploded, killing his avatar too.
"OH GOD!" Ivan shouted much to Isaiah and Gloria's amusement as the two laughed at his misfortune.

In reality, all four of them were playing together in the same room on four seperate computers.
"That's called karma, dude," Isaiah told Ivan.
"All the things I had to gather to make those potions and now I lost them all!" Ivan bickered.
"Hey, I lost all my coal and iron thanks to you," said Gloria.
"And I lost the emerald I just got. You also killed my neighbor. Like, come on, now," Isaiah added.
"RODDAMMIT!!!" a voice shouted offscreen which Isaiah immediately recognized.
"Did my tio stub his toe against the bathtub again?" he wondered.

Isaiah's uncle, Rodolfo, was very displeased. Instead of wearing his usual lightning themed black and teal wardrobe with his black jacket, he was for some reason wearing Xenoblade Chronicles' Shulk's outfit. Only without the Monado.
"First day that dry cleaner opens and they screw this up! Where are my clothes?!" Rod ranted.
Ricardo, Ivan's uncle, poked his head into the room and asked,
"Who died?" referring to Rod's yelling.
"The dry cleaner confused my clothes for someone else's. I look like a Kingdom Heart's reject," said Rod.
"Yeah well, join the club," Ric said stepping in showing his own attire.
Instead of his reverse lightning black and red wardrobe he always wears, he was wearing Final Fantasy's Cloud's clothings. But without the Buster Sword.
"I look like a Kingdom Heart's reject," Ric claimed.
"What the hell? You too?" Rod asked.
"Let this be a lesson to wait on reviews of new businesses before trying them," said Ric.
"They gave our clothes to someone else," said Rod.

Elsewhere, the Monado weilder Shulk was wearing Rod's clothes and was not impressed.
"I'm not feeling this," he said.
Cloud himself was also wearing Ric's clothes and looked at the reversed lightning bolt print on the shirt.
"I've heard of storming into battle, but seriously?" he said.

After their game of Minecraft, Isaiah, Ivan, Gloria, and Rafael were hanging out in the frontyard. Isaiah threw a ball which Bonita, Rod's pitbull, went to fetch. That's when Vic and Crow arrived.
"Vic. Crow. What's up?" Isaiah greeted.
"Your uncle called us over to watch you," said Crow.
"And for what? Worthless currency for a planet we don't even live on," Vic added.
"Seriously? He called you to watch over me? I don't need a babysitter," Isaiah protested which made Ivan chuckle.
"He said that he doesn't want you alone," said Crow.
"I'm not alone. Ivan, Gloria, and Rafael are here with me," said Isaiah.
Vic looked at Ivan and compared his height to Isaiah's, which was equal. The two boys had grown quite taller overtime.
"You were both shorter the last time I saw you," Vic thought.
Rod and Ric stepped out, still wearing Shulk and Cloud's clothes which everyone immediately took notice of.
"My uncle is selling himself to the circus?" Ivan joked.
"Don't ask for it, boy," Ric warned.
"Seriously, tio? I'm 14. I don't need someone to watch me," Isaiah claimed.
"I just don't want you all alone, is all," said Rod.
"But everyone else is here. What could go wrong?" said Isaiah.
Rod looked over at Rafael who was scratching his head and staring off into space blankly while Gloria was texting on her JUMP communicator, both of them not paying any attention.
"Vic. Crow. Keep a good eye on Isaiah," Rod told them.
Isaiah groaned as Ivan laughed at him to tease him.
"That goes for Ivan too," Ric added.
"What?!" Ivan protested.
"Don't think I forget the last time I left you alone. Your laboratory tricks got our home swatted. It's not happening again," said Ric.
"We're not babies!" said Ivan.
"So we don't need babysitters!" said Isaiah.
But Rod and Ric weren't going to change their minds. They turned to Vic and Crow and Rod said,
"We're going down to the dry cleaners to get our clothes back."
"They mixed ours up," Ric added.
"We can tell," said Crow.
"For a second we thought you were trying a new style," said Vic.
"We'll watch Isaiah and Ivan carefully. Don't worry about anything," Crow assured.
"Then come on, Rod. Let's get this problem sorted out," said Ric.
Rod and Ric went on their way to hopefully get their clothes back. Once they left, Crow turned to the boys and told them,
"Don't you even think about getting us swatted. So no funny tricks, alright?"
"We make no promises," said Isaiah.
"Why don't you just tie us down?" said Ivan.
"I mean it. Don't try anything your uncles will be mad about," Crow warned.
"Well anyway, now that Rod's gone, let's raid his fridge," Vic suggested.
"Thanks for the reminder, Vic," Crow agreed as the two stormed to the fridge, got their food, and then made themselves comfortable in the house.

Meanwhile, Isaiah and Ivan were wondering what to do in the mean time while their uncles were gone.
"So does anyone got any ideas?" Isaiah asked.
"The movies?" Rafael suggested.
"We can't leave the house," said Isaiah.
"How about we have a dance off?" said Gloria
"How about we operate on you?" Ivan joked.
"How about I bite your face off?!" Gloria threatened which made Ivan cringe and take a step back.
"The movies?" Rafael repeated.
"We could have another round of Minecraft?" said Ivan.
"And let you kill all of us again for your own amusement? Would you kill people in real life?" Gloria asked.
"No, probably not. Not in reality," said Ivan.
"Reality?" Isaiah pondered. "Reality!"
"The big little man's got something," said Rafael.
"Yezzir. Ivan, I know what we can do today," said Isaiah.
"Shoot," Ivan said listening on.
Then Isaiah just realized something. Bonita never brought the ball back.
"Hey, where's Bonita?" he wondered.

Out back, Bonita tossed the fetch ball aside and approached her dog dish. She lifted it exposing a secret button that lifted her doghouse up revealing an elevator. She donned a fedora, entered the elevator, and rode it down. Her elevator came to a stop and let another elevator pass, which was going sideways and carrying the Duck Hunt Dog and Duck. Bonita's elevator resumed and she arrived in a high tech, top secret underground base. She went over to the big monitor and the famous Youtuber, Markiplier came onscreen.
"Hello, Agent B. My name is Markiplier and welcome to your next objective. And you sure know the perfect time to show up before I can even contact you," he said. "Anyway, we suspect Don may be up to his usual antics again. Our intelligence tells us that he's been buying up every vacuum cleaner in Austin. But for what reason? It couldn't be to clean up crime."
Bonita didn't know what to make of it either.
"But there's no doubt that he's up to no good. Infiltrate Don's base of operation and stop his greedy act before he can... well, act," Mark ordered.
Bonita gave a salute and was on her way to pay Don a visit.
"Good luck, Agent B. And as always I will see you in the next transmission. Bye bye!" Mark uttered.
Bonita was now on her way to stop Don from doing who-knows-what he had in mind. She flew there with a propeller pack she wore on her back.

Bonita!

In Ric's car, Rod and Ric drove downtown to the dry cleaners when they came to a stop where the traffic had ceased. Every driver got out of their cars and started walking.
"What the hell's the hold up?" Rod wondered.
"It doesn't look like this traffic's going anywhere anytime soon," Ric thought.
He and Rod got out of the car and saw all the people that were parked there lined up at the dry cleaners. The line extended all the way to where Ric parked.
"Oh my Rod! Everyone in Austin must be here!" Rod thought.
"Did they seriously mix up everyone's clothes?" said Ric.
Rod was overwhelmed by the length of the line and could only imagine the wait.
"Looks like we don't have a choice," he thought, referencing the title of Shulk's Smash trailer.
The duo got in line with everybody else. It looked like it was going to be a loooooong wait.

After filling Ivan in on the idea, the two pre-teens were ready to share it with Gloria and Rafael.
"¡Híjole! That's the best idea I've heard today," Gloria praised.
"It's way better than what I could've thought up," Rafael added.
"Uh... we haven't told you what it is yet," said Isaiah.
"Well whatever it is, it sounds good already," Rafael thought.
"Simpletons," Ivan muttered.
"Lucky it's simple to explain," said Isaiah.
Ivan showed them a cybernetic pickaxe in his hands.
"We're gonna build pickaxes?" Rafael questioned.
"That doesn't sound fun at all," said Gloria.
"Will you just let us explain?" said Ivan.
"We're gonna make the world of Minecraft a reality. We'll be able to construct, make, and gather resources just like in the game," Isaiah explained. "Show them, Ivan."
"Watch and learn. Closely," Ivan instructed.
He used the pickaxe on a nearby rock which shaped it into a cube of stone.
"Woah!" Gloria and Rafael exclaimed in awe.
"Thanks to these fancy tools Ivan built, anything can be shaped into block form," Isaiah said demonstrating a shovel on the ground, digging up a cube of dirt.
"Only someone as brilliant as I could invent such tools," Ivan flattered himself.
Isaiah took a pickaxe and said,
"Well don't just there. Grab your tools and get busy."
Everybody got the tools that they needed. A shovel, an axe, a pickaxe a hoe, and a sword.
"This is gonna be sweet," said Rafael.
"Let's build the biggest block village ever!" Isaiah cheered.
"It'll be the only block village ever," said Ivan.
All four got to work gathering all sorts of cubic resources. Including wood, stone, glass, and minerals like coal and iron. They were going to make their dream Minecraft village a real dream come true.

Don's UPS Incorporated!

Isaiah and Ivan weren't the only ones doing some building. Don was at work constructing some sort of contraption using parts all the vacuums he bought today in the garage. It was covered with a tarp.
"Now I've really got a get rich quick plan that's fool-proof. I'll make millions and be able to retire from this stupid career and never have to pay any employees again," Don schemed.
At that moment, a UPS truck drove through the garage door, busting it's way inside, much to Don's displeasure.
"Hey! I run a parcel service not a monster truck rally! You're fired!" an upset Don objected.
But to his surprise, rather than an employee, out from the driver seat of the truck emerged Bonita.
"Bonita the Pitbull?!" Don gasped in horror.
Bonita flipped into the scene ready to confront her foe.
"How unexpected. And by 'unexpected', I mean COMPLETELY EXPECTED!" Don said activating a switch that dropped a large package on top of Bonita from above.
"Ah ha!" Don laughed as he removed the package from off of her.
Bonita was now trapped inside a doghouse with a barred door preventing her escape.
"I've got you right where I want you, Bonita the Pitbull. I made sure you could see through the bars so I could show off my newest invention," Don said as he went to unveil his new invention.
"Behold!" Don declared removing the tarp.
It was and even larger vacuum cleaner with a really long hose, a wider than usual head, and an incredibly large tank.
"The Bank Cleaner!" Don announced.
It was quite an astounding device. For an oversized vacuum.
"I originally wanted to call it the Vacuum Bank but that kind of sounds like a place where you can deposit and withdraw vacuum cleaners which is totally silly. Besides, the Bank Cleaner sounds more intimidating," Don stated.
He grabbed the hose and resumed,
"This baby's gonna to break all the banks. You're probably thinking I'm going to market it and make a profit selling it, right? No. I'm using to clean the entirety of the Travis County of it's money. The Bank Cleaner will suck up every cent for miles, leaving everyone's bank accounts and pockets and going directly into my own pockets. Hopefully I'll get more than enough to cover the costs of all those other vacuums I had to buy just to build this thing. Those things are really expensive, you know. But by combining every vacuum in Austin, I created the ultimate vacuum with the suction power of a thousand vacuums. And with you, Bonita the Pitbull, trapped where I want you, you couldn't hope to foil my plan. I'll be filthy stinkin' rich by the end of the day and you can't stop me. I'm on my way to living large!"
Bonita growled through her teeth as Don backed a truck up to load the Bank Cleaner onto it.
"Now here's the hard part: getting the Bank Cleaner onto the truck. Damn. I guess I should've built it inside the truck so I wouldn't have to load it. That would've saved me so much time," said Don.
He proceeded to load the Bank Cleaner onto the truck. It was a very heavy machine and it gave Don a very hard time getting it loaded. Luckily, this bought Bonita some time to think of a plan of escape and that's what she was doing right now.

Crow and Vic, having helped themselves to the fridge, were watching TV while indulging themselves in Rod's food.
"Just use your stupid Phone a Friend already!" Crow yelled at the TV.
"Hey Crow, shouldn't we be watching Isaiah and Ivan instead of the TV? It's what Rod trusted us to do," Vic reminded.
"Ah, the boys should be fine. Just look out the window and check on them," said Crow.
Vic looked out the window and immediately witnessed Isaiah and Ivan's handiwork.
"Oh, what the hell?!" Vic exclaimed in awe.
"Well are they fine or not?" Crow asked.
"I don't see them. There are too many houses in the way," Vic replied.
"What houses? The only other houses are the neighbors," said Crow.
"Well either some new neighbors moved into Rod's front yard or his house is turned around," said Vic.
"Why would there be houses in front yard? You're so helpless, Vic," Crow said and she stormed to the front door to see what Vic was telling her.
When Crow opened the door, she found a entire cubic village with many houses built about.
"WHAT IN THE HELL?!" she cried.
"See? I told you," said Vic.
"Why is everything all... square?" Crow wondered, still awestruck.
"Hi Crow!" Isaiah called from a cubic farm where he was planting crops with a cubic farmer.
"Isaiah! What's going on here?!" Crow asked.
"We're playing Minecraft. In real life. Check out the village we built. In a very short time too," said Isaiah.
"It usually takes at least a montage," said Ivan.
"And this time we didn't cheat. Gloria!" Isaiah reminded.
Gloria and Rafael were building a library Rafael was again building the roof before the body of the building was finished.
"Where did all these people come from?" Crow asked about the long-nosed, bald-headed, blocky villagers.
"They're villagers. We're building a village for them to live in," Isaiah confirmed.
Vic was staring at their unusually long noses.
"How can they hold their heads up with those noses? And why do they all the look same?" he questioned.
"Your uncles aren't going to stand for this! They left me in charge of you boys and wouldn't approve of this! You're in so much trouble!" Crow scolded as she called Rod's cellphone.

Rod and Ric were still far back in line and nowhere near close to the dry cleaners.
"They must only have one person working," Ric thought.
That's when Rod's phone rang with Crow on the other end.
"¿Bueno?" Rod answered.
"Rod, you're not gonna believe this! Isaiah and Ivan have built a village! A cubic village!" Crow tattled.
"Oh, the two always enjoy doing that in Minecraft. Isaiah really likes showing me his hardwork," said Rod.
"But Rod, they're playing Minecraft for real!" said Crow.
"I believe you. How else can they build a cubic village unless they play the game?" said Rod.
"No! I mean they're playing it in real life! They built a real village in your front yard!" Crow tried to tell him.
"They built a replica of my house in the game? That's awesome! I'll definitely have to see that when I get home. If I ever do get home. This line is hardly moving. You won't believe the amount of people who got their clothes mixed up," said Rod.
"No, Rod! They didn't build an in-game replica of your house! They built a real... oh, forget it!" Crow said giving up and hung up on Rod.
"What's Crow's problem?" Rod wondered.
The line had started to move along again when Rod and Ric arrived at a crossing which stopped them to allow the other pedestrians to cross. Ric smelled something in the air.
"Smells like..." he began to say when a flock of Chocobo crossed their path.

Crow groaned in frustration, having failed to get anything through Rod's head.
"Rod's so clueless. And he's not coming home yet," she said.
"You gotta admit. The boys are creative," Vic confessed impressed by Isaiah and Ivan's craftsmanship.
"I'll be back."
"Where are you going?"
"The only way to get this through Rod's thick head is for him to see what the boys are doing with his own eye," said Crow.
She looked on at Isaiah and Ivan and told them,
"You boys stay where you are! I'm telling your uncles about this right now!"
"Bueno. I wonder what they'll think of this," Isaiah replied thinking their uncles would be impressed.
"Watch them like a hawk, Vic," Crow ordered.
"Or like a crow?" Vic responded.
Crow hurried to find Rod and Ric and bring them there to show what Isaiah and Ivan were up to and left Vic in charge while she was away. Meanwhile Isaiah and Ivan had just finished building another house for a villager.
"There you go, neighbor. All set up and ready for you to move in," said Isaiah.
"Aren't you boys a little young to be carpenters?" the Villager questioned.
"14 years isn't too young," Isaiah replied.
"And I'm a genius. I can do anything at my age and level of intelligence," Ivan added.
"Okay. Thank you, boys," the Villager thanked and moved into his new home.
Vic was taking a tour of the village, admiring the blocky architecture.
"I wonder how Isaiah and Ivan built all this in a short amount of time. Man, do they have good craftsmanship," Vic thought.
"Minecraftsmanship, if you will," Ivan punned.
"You want to help, Vic? We have some tools to get you started," Isaiah offered.
"I don't know. Your uncles told Crow to watch you. And then she told me to watch you. I'm just looking out for you boys," said Vic.
"That's too bad. We could use a hand building a pig farm," said Isaiah.
"That way we can raise pigs and put home on the table," said Ivan.
"I do love ham," Vic admitted.
"You have pigs in outer space?" IVan questioned.
Vic thought what-the-heck and grabbed one of Ivan's cybernetic axes.
"Ah, why not? At least I can watch you close by," Vic decided.
"Sweet. You can gather some wood for the pig pen while Ivan and I round up the pigs themselves," said Isaiah.
The outskirts of the village were inhabited by some square pigs, something you wouldn't ordinarily see every day. Meanwhile, Rafael was in a mine gathering a bunch of coal. He even found some rare diamonds while he was down there.
"I can't believe I was lucky enough to find these diamonds. Then again, what good are they if we already have Ivan's tools?" he thought.
There was no point in trying to make diamond tools when Ivan's tools were necessary to make everything cubic. As he left the mine, some rather disturbing pinkish-white eyes watched Rafael as he exitted the mine. Many more different sets of eyes lit up as well.

Don really had to throw his weight around to get the Bank Cleaner loaded onto the truck. Or better yet, throw the Bank Cleaner's weight around. He was pushing it up a ramp to get it loaded.
"As soon as... I get this thing loaded... Austin, Texas is going broke... and all the cash will be mine," Don grunted as he pushed.
It took a lot of hard work but Don finally got the Bank Cleaner onto the truck and was ready to take it out for a test drive.
"Ah ha! It took three whole scenes but now the Bank Cleaner's ready and I'm ready to get rich. This thing will suck everyone's wallets dry. Watch, Bonita the Pitbull, as I unleash the Bank Cleaner upon the entire Travis County area!" Don declared.
Don was then whack upon the head with a dog bone. It was Bonita who had escaped her dog house prison.
"Bonita the Pitbull? But you're supposed to be watching me unleash the Bank Cleaner upon the entire Travis County area! How did you escape?" Don questioned.
He looked over at the dog house trap and realized Bonita simply dug her way out from under the trap.
"Oh damn it, that's the problem with traps from above. They have no floor otherwise I wouldn't be able to trap you. And dogs can dig. How the hell did that go over my head?" said Don.
Bonita and Don fought each other using plastic tubes of the disassembled vacuums when Don took a big puff from his cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke to make a smokescreen. This allowed him to escape into the truck and drive away with the Bank Cleaner.
"So long, Bonita the Pitbull!" Don called back.
Bonita's canine instincts told her to pursue the mail truck but there was no way she was going to catch up without wheels of her own. A couple stepped out from a Starbucks cafe when Bonita went up to them and hopped onto their moped to borrow it.
"Hey!" the man of the pair said.
Bonita paid them to allow her to borrow the moped and followed after Don's truck.
"That dog is very dedicated to catching that mailman," the man thought.
Don parked outside the entrance of the Texas Capital Bank.
"First stop, the Texas Capital Bank. I'd like to make a withdraw, please?" Don said as he turned on the Bank Cleaner.
The suction power of the Bank Cleaner sucked every cent and dollar bill out from the bank's vaults, everyone's accounts, and even from their pockets. Don literally cleaned the bank completely of it's money.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now that's what I call a cash stash," Don cackled.
He opened the tank of the Bank Cleaner and admired the dishonest money he just robbed.
"Yeah, that totally covers the cost I spent on all those vacuums. And I'll still make a profit on the side," Don thought.
He resumed his bank cleaning spree by moving onto the next bank. Bonita gave chase.

Crow arrived downtown where she witness the outrageously long line at the dry cleaners.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed. She then called out, "Rod! Ric! Rod! Ric!"
Some man stepped out of line and said to Crow,
"Rodrik Forrester. What can I do for you?"
"Not you!" Crow snapped then went back to looking for Rod and Ric. "Rod! Ric!"
The lightning duo wasn't anywhere close to the front of the line. It was still moving very slowly.
"This reminds me of the lines at Sea World," said Rod.
"How long have we been waiting?" Ric asked.
"About seven scenes," Rod guessed.
Crow immediately spotted Rod and Ric.
"Rod! Ric! There you are!" she said.
"No, you have us confused for someone else," said Ric.
"The Rod and Ric you're looking for wearing black, teal, and red clothing," Rod added.
"I don't have time for smartass comments. Isaiah and Ivan are building a Minecraft village in the front yard," Crow stated.
"You told me this already," said Rod.
"But this time they're really building a real village in your front yard," Crow persuaded.
"Aren't Isaiah and Ivan a little young to build a village?" Rod questioned.
"Ivan's smart enough to build anything," said Ric.
"Why aren't you watching our nephews anyway? You're supposed to be back home," said Rod.
"You two have to come see for yourselves. And I won't take no for an answer," Crow said as she grabbed them by their collars.
"But Crow," Rod tried to tell her.
"You're not going to believe it. Just wait till you see what your nephews have been doing," Crow said as she dragged the pair along.
However, she was really dragging along Street Fighter's Ryu and Ken who had their outfits mixed up with Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Rod and Ric watched as Crow took Ryu and Ken away instead of them.
"Is it me or is Crow not at all herself today?" Rod asked.
"I never realized Austin had such a strange population," Ric discovered.
While their backs were turned, Don's truck with Bonita following passed right by the two.

Don was approaching his next target, the First State Bank.
"First State Bank is in sight," he said.
He set the truck to autodrive mode to drive on it's own as he activated the Bank Cleaner to suck up all of it's money.
"I'll be taking this, if you don't mind. Thank you very much," said Don.
The Bank Cleaner also sucked in a bank teller who got stuck.
"Hey, you're clogging my Bank Cleaner! Get out!" Don said as he set the Bank Cleaner in reverse, expelling the teller from the vacuum.
Bonita had gained on Don's truck and jumped onto it to foil him.
"And that's just for starters. Onto the First National Bank," Don plotted when the vacuum was shot out of his grasp by a laser beam from Bonita's collar.
"What the?!" Don gasped.
Then Bonita bit him in the rear making him yelp.
"YEOOOOOWCH! Bonita the Pitbull?" Don cried.
The secret agent canine fought the rotund nicotine puffer onboard the moving truck as it drove around the city.

Progress the real-life Minecraft village was coming along well, especially with Vic's help. Isaiah and Ivan had round up some square pigs into the pig pen to go along with the farm they built.
"The villagers won't be going hungry soon," said Isaiah.
"Too bad the swines are unaware of their inevitable fate," Ivan thought.
Vic had finished constructing a monument in the center of the village. It was a statue of a villager designed like the Statue of Liberty. Only blocky, of course.
"What do you think? I think it's the spitting image of the villagers," Vic thought.
"Which one? They all look the same," said Gloria.
"Well at least it looks good at the center of the village," said Vic.
It was at that exact moment that Crow returned with who she thought were Rod and Ric.
"Hi Crow," Isaiah greeted.
"You boys are really in the hot seat now. You see? I told you so! Look at what they've been doing while you were gone!" Crow blabbed.
"You brought us all the away across town to show us a giant sandbox?" Ryu asked.
Crow then saw her mistake when she realized she didn't bring Rod and Ric along after all.
"Hey, you're not Rod and Ric," Crow realized.
"No kidding. Was it the clothes?" Ken remarked.
"Now we have to get back in line. Thanks for nothing, lady," said Ryu.
The two martial artists, clad in ninja uniforms, left. Crow was left dumbfounded by her goof.
"UGH!" she groaned.
"Crow, you're back," said Vic.
"Vic, what are you doing?"
"Just lending the boys a hand. Check out the statue."
Crow could not believe Vic had joined in on the boys' game.
"Vic, what have you done? You've fallen victim to their sinister clutches!"
"They're building homes for the square inhabitants. What's so sinister about that? How about you give it a try?"
"Snap out of it, Vic! Come back to the Crow side!"
Rafael returned with the coal he mined.
"Hey, I got more coal," he said.
"Good job, Rafael," Isaiah congratulated.
"No problem. By the way, are the villagers holding a festival?" Rafael asked.
"Not that we know of," Isaiah replied. "Why do you ask?"
"These guys followed me here," Rafael said referring to the Minecraft mobs that were invading the village.
There was a mix of Creepers, Spiders, Silverfish, Skeletons, Witches, Zombies, and Slimes all lead by an Enderman. The mobs were seizing the village meanwhile the villagers were all going on with their lives like nothing was even happening to their home. Just like how oblivious their AI is in the real Minecraft.
"Oh my god, where did all these mobs come from?" Isaiah exclaimed.
"It's a mobster mash," Ivan punned.
"And the villagers aren't even freaking out," said Gloria.
Crow was the most displeased by what Isaiah and Ivan's game has lead to.
"Okay, you boys are like in SO much trouble right now! I'm telling your uncles!" she stated.
Suddenly, the Enderman snuck up behind her and grabbed a hold of her. Crow screamed in fear when this slender, shadowy, fiendish entity grasped her tightly and wouldn't let her go.
"Crow! Hang on!" Vic shouted as he swiped Ivan's cyber sword at the Enderman.
However, it teleported to avoid the attack still with Crow in it's clutches. Vic tried again and again but the Enderman was teleporting way too quickly for him.
"Vic, the Enderman can teleport to dodge your attacks!" Isaiah shouted.
"Haven't you ever played Minecraft?" Ivan asked.
"LET GO OF ME, YOU SLENDERMAN KNOCK-OFF!" Crow demanded.
But the Enderman was not going to do that. The rest of the mobs encircled the boys, Gloria, Rafael, and Vic.
"You made mobs real too, Ivan?" Isaiah asked Ivan.
"Didn't you want the full Minecraft experience?" Ivan replied.
"So now what?" Gloria asked.
Crow screamed for her life as the Enderman kept clutching her tightly while snarling maniacally.
"We have to save Crow," said Vic.
"Vic's right. And to get to the Enderman, we'll have to slay these mobs in the way first," said Isaiah.
Ivan brought out his potions.
"It's a good thing I've been doing some brewing on the side," he said.
Everyone drew their cyber swords to slay the hostile creatures before them and rescue Crow.
"Alright, call it!" said Vic.
"Call what?" Rafael asked.
"Take 'em down!" Isaiah hollered.
And so lead into the battle against the Minecraft mobs as the gang fought their way through to the Enderman.

"End That Enderman"
Montage: Isaiah slices his way through the bouncing Slimes which seperate in smaller Slimes which Gloria squishes with her inflated suit. Some Skeletons shoot their arrows at Rafael who protects himself with a shovel then smashes them to bones. Vic fights a swarm of Silverfish when a Witch appears and throws potions of poison at him, inflicting a poison status on him. Ivan throws potions of harming at the Witch in retaliation to see how she likes it then throws a potion of healing at Vic to recover him. Some farmer villagers are tending to their crops while Isaiah fights off a horde of Zombies with a hoe. A Creeper walks toward Rafael to explode on him. Rafael takes one of the Skeleton's bows and shoots the Creeper with arrows. Though this only slowed the creature down as it got closer when Rafael ran out of arrows. However, instead the Creeper walks right past Rafael, ignoring him completely, as it sneaks up Gloria instead while she was fighting some spiders. As Vic slays a Slime, he shouts at Gloria to look behind her. The Creeper was just about to explode on her when Ivan threw a potion of swiftness at Gloria to allow her to escape the explosion in a hurry, thus the Creeper killed only itself. With the mobs slain, it was time to save Crow from the Enderman. Isaiah, Vic, and Rafael attack with their swords which the Enderman dodges by teleporting. Gloria inflated her suit and bowled after the Enderman with her Bomb Shell technique. Again, the Enderman teleports and she crashes into the boys instead. Ivan throws his potions of harming at the Enderman but the mob holds Crow out in front to allow her to take the hits instead, angering her. The battle goes on as the villagers just continue walking around the village merrily as can be, as though entirely unaware of the danger their village was under. Ivan holds out a potion of invisibility and throws it at Isaiah, turning him invisible. With the Enderman unable to see him, Isaiah slashes the mob making it release Crow, freeing her. Ivan then throws a potion of slowness at the Enderman to prevent him from escaping so quickly as Isaiah commands the gang to finish the Enderman once and for all. The whole team goes in with their swords and potions and slay the Enderman which disappears into a black and purple mass. It even dropped an Ender Pearl upon dying.

Well I know what we should do today!

Isaiah: For Crow, the village, and all the Minecraft MLG's in the world!

Let's end that Enderman!

The mobs and the Enderman were defeated, the village was spared, and Crow was saved. A villager came by, found Crow on the ground, and told her,
"You know, there are more comfortable places to take a nap than on the ground."
Isaiah helped Crow off the ground.
"That Enderman was tricky. Are you okay, Crow?" he asked.
"I'm good. Thanks a lot, you squirt," Crow thanked the-not-so-squirt boy.
"Maybe I should've disabled mobs. But then we wouldn't have any villagers either," Ivan thought.
"Wait a minute! What the hell am I doing just standing around? I'm still telling your uncles about this!" Crow blabbed.
"Okay. I'll bet they'll be really proud of us for saving the villagers while they were in danger," Isaiah thought.
"Not that their absent-minded heads weren't aware," said Rafael.
"Just like yours, right Raf?" Gloria remarked.
"Don't move! I'll be right back with your uncles! Watch them, Vic!" Crow ordered and ran off to get Rod and Ric. This time with the real ones.
As soon as she left, Rafael finally caught on to the remark Gloria made about him.
"I am not absent-minded!" he argued.

Don's truck was still driving around the city with Don and Bonita still fighting on it. Bonita charged at his gut with a headbutt, bumping him to the Bank Cleaner's hose. Don reached for it and turned it on Bonita. Her canine instincts made her hesitant to step any further.
"Aww, what's wrong Bonita the Pitbull? Are dogs afraid of vacuums? Now you are no match for me!" Don taunted as he increased suction power on the Bank Cleaner to suck Bonita in.
Bonita held on as best she could to keep from being sucked in. She stuck her paw claws in the surface of the truck to help her.
"Say goodbye, Bonita the Pitbull! Or just bark, whimper, whatever you do. This doggone dog will be gone!" Don said.
Bonita wasn't sure how long she could hold on before the Bank Cleaner's suction overpowered her.

Rod and Ric still hadn't gotten their mix-up sorted out yet. Though they were just outside the dry cleaner's about to step in. The line ahead of them was pretty short.
"¡Orale! We're next," said Ric.
"¡Híjole! It's about time. Now we can get out of these clown outfits," said Rod.
But of course it wasn't THAT easy. As fate would have it, Crow showed up just before the duo could step foot inside, grabbing them by their shirt collars.
"¡AYE GUEY!" the pair gagged as they were choked by Crow pulling them.
Crow dragged the two along as she sprinted back home to tattle on Isaiah and Ivan.
"I got it right this time, guys. Wait till you get a load of what Isaiah and Ivan have been doing behind your backs," she told them.
Though Rod and Ric were literally all choked up to even say a word as they turned blue from lack of oxygen.

The Bank Cleaner's suction power was so strong Don was vacuuming almost anything on the road. That includes a bunch of paper trash which clogged the hose keeping it form sucking up anything else.
"Oh come on! Seriously, right now?" Don ranted.
With Don defenseless now, Bonita tackled him and the two fought over the vacuum's hose. Bonita tugged with her teeth as Don tried to take from her.
"Give it here ya flea-infested mongrel!" Don demanded.
Instead of letting Don have the vacuum, Bonita shot another laser from her collar, this time at Don's face. This made him release the vacuum and it was now in Bonita's hands. Or paws. She set it in reverse to expelled all the money Don stole and it blew away in the wind.
"My money! My retirement!" Don cried.
Bonita then turned the Bank Cleaner on Don himself. The truck also passed by Rod's house where the boys, Vic, Rafael, and Gloria were having a drink to refresh themselves from all their work. They didn't even notice their Minecraft village disappearing. The Bank Cleaner sucked up the entire village as well as the villagers and animals, leaving not a single block left. Don dodged the incoming blocks until a bunch of stone blocks smashed into him and got him sucked into the Bank Cleaner. Though due to his girth, he was stuck in the hose with his legs dangling out. The buildup was about to cause the Bank Cleaner to explode and Bonita made her escape with her propeller pack. The Bank Cleaner explode, blasting the blocks, villagers, and Don into the sky.
"DAMN YOU, BONITA THE PITBULL!" Don shouted.
With her mission completed and Don's plan foiled, Bonita flew back home.

Agent B!

After refreshing themselves, Isaiah and Ivan were ready to get back to work.
"Now we should really patch up all the damage the mobs caused," Isaiah suggested.
"The villagers probably wouldn't mind the disaster," Ivan thought.
But then they all realized that the whole village had disappeared, unaware that it was sucked up by Don's Bank Cleaner.
"What happened to the village?" said Vic.
"Maybe the villagers moved out?" Gloria thought.
Isaiah shrugged and said,
"Oh well. We can always recreate it."
"And not worry about for real mobs," Ivan added.
They all went inside to play the game on PC this time.

With Rod and Ric, Crow returned home to show the pair what they're nephews have been doing when they weren't supposed.
"There's a big statue, and a pig pen, and a library, wait till you see it," Crow said when she reached the street corner.
However, Rod and Ric were unconcious from Crow choking them. She shook them back to normal.
"You guys, wake up! Don't fall asleep yet!" she yelled at them.
The pair regained awareness.
"¿Que diablos?" Rod said upon awakening.
"What's going on?" Ric asked.
"Oh, Crow. It's you again," Rod groaned.
"You couldn't have picked a worse time," Ric added.
"Listen to me, guys. Isaiah and Ivan built a Minecraft village in the front yard. Come on! You've got to see it!" said Crow.
"Crow, this was never funny," said Rod.
Crow pushed the two and rushed them to the scene.
"Come on! Come on! Move your butts! You've got to see this!"
"What's so important that you dragged us all the way from downtown by our necks?" Ric questioned.
"You're not gonna believe it!" Crow assured.
The three arrived back home with Rod and Ric upfront to witness Isaiah and Ivan's creation themselves.
"See? See? Tell me it doesn't look like a real Minecraft village in your front yard," said Crow.
"Alright. It doesn't look like a real Minecraft village in my front yard," Rod claimed.
And it didn't. The village disappeared while Crow was away and she didn't make it back in time to show Rod and Ric.
"What? But it was... right here... a village... villagers... a statue... library... pig farm... monsters everywhere... Slimes... Skeletons... an Enderman grabbed me! Isaiah and Ivan saved me!" Crow tried to tell them.
"Crow, maybe you've been playing too much Minecraft yourself," Rod told her.
"Where are the boys?" Ric asked.
"Isaiah and Ivan!" Crow said as she charged into the house. Rod and Ric followed.
Isaiah, Ivan, Vic, Rafael, and Gloria were recreating the village they built in the PC version of Minecraft.
"Hi tio," Isaiah greeted.
"Ric," Ivan greeted with a "yo" gesture.
"We're building a village in Minecraft," said Isaiah.
Rod and Ric glared at Crow sourly thinking that this was what she wanted to show them all along. Just some digital village in the game rather than a real life construction of one.
"Thanks for dragging us across town for this matter of life an death," Rod sarcastically thanked.
"We're sorry we didn't believe you," Ric sarcastically apologized.
Crow was very speechless.
"No! There was a real village! In the yard! Blocks! Buildings! Bald-headed villagers with long noses! Enderman, grabbing, hurting!" Crow babbled.
Though the snarky duo was still believing her.
"We probably didn't mention it before but we got a mix up at the dry cleaners that we need to get fixed," Ric reminded.
"Not that we don't think we look ridiculous or anything," said Rod.
The two took their leave to return to the dry cleaners making sarcastic remarks like they do best on their way out.
"Well that was worth suffocating us."
"We ought to do this more often."
"How about scheduling an appointment tomorrow at noon?"
"Good idea. I'm really feeling it."
"No hard feelings."
"You know what they say, 'two smart alecks don't make a right,'" said Gloria.
Crow was still babbling on as if she had lost all of her sanity. Vic went up to her.
"You know, Crow? I had fun with the boys. We should babysit more often," he said.
Bonita had returned home from her mission, back in "dog mode", and went over to Isaiah to return the fetch ball from earlier.
"Oh, there you are Bonita," he said.

Meanwhile, Don had taken quite a fall from his defeat and landed in the middle of nowhere. All the Minecraft blocks came falling down, automatically reconstructing the village. The villagers walked around and went on their lives like normal.
"Good day," one villager greeted another.
"Good day."
"Hey, whose the fat guy?"
"I don't know. Probably a tourist."
The head of Don's Bank Cleaner's hose konked Don on the head.
"Argh! This sucks!" Don griped throwing the head which bounced back and him again.
Another villager walked up to him and asked,
"Hey man, where'd the kids go?" referring to Isaiah and Ivan.

Once again Rod and Ric waited in line to fix their little mix up. Thankfully, the line had shortened by the time they got their and soon they were next in line.
"Did you boys get your clothes mixed up too?" the owner of the dry cleaner asked.
"No. We're here to apply to stand in for the Easter Bunny this year," Ric snarked.
"Well aren't we extra funny today? You'll have to wait. I'm helping out another complaining customer. Wait right here," the owner told them.
"Well hurry up. We've waited long enough," said Rod.
At that precise moment, Shulk and Cloud, wearing Rod and Ric's clothes, entered to get their mix up sorted out too. Both duos saw the other wearing each other clothes and realized who got who's.
"Hey!" all four of them said in unison.
I'm steadily getting over my sickness and life issues and am able to work on things of my own on this site. Here I present a Phineas and Ferb styled story in which my nephew and Ricardo's nephew, Isaiah and Ivan, bring the world of Minecraft to life. They build a block village and Crow tries to tell them on. Meanwhile Ric and I get a little mix up sorted out and Don has bought every vacuum in town for some reason.
