Question

The guide said “Well… we are remodeling the hall of fame and could use 99,000,000,000 diamonds”

Steve said “Deal. As long as I keep my name!”

“Deal. You still have to leave. Hand over your membership card.”

Alex said “You’re a member here?!”

“I was. Until Noor ruined my life!”

Steve handed over his membership card and started to cry when they cut it. They luckily gave Steve the shreds. 

Steve said “We should go before my life is ruined more.” and tightly grabbed Noor and pulled him out.

Everyone else followed. 

Noor said “I’m sorry I ruined your life.”

Steve said “Also, in addition to the battle with Zuri, you will not get the house where you can draw on the walls!”

Noor said “Tough but fair.”

Steve said “Now, I’ll leave you right outside my house for a few days. Don’t enter any villager’s home!”

Steve then got in the limo and slammed the door. 

Alex came in with Steve’s friends and kids and said “Steve, I believe Noor would like to be grounded for a year.”

Steve said “No! Hardcore for two days!”

“Hardcore?!”

“Yeah! This time he went too far!”

Alex just comforted him the whole way home.

Steve said “I want to go home! Now!”

Alex said “Aww,  only one more full day left.”

Steve said “I pick tomorrow’s activity! I choose all day PvP seminar”

Alex said “You promised them a waterpark!”

“Too bad! Noor ruined my life. I’m ruining his!”

Alex said “How about this, you, Noor and your friends go to the seminar. We go to the waterpark”

Steve nodded and said “I really like that idea. But, it would be unfair to Noor. I may be extremely mad at him, he should do the same activity tomorrow as all the rest of the kids.”

Alex nodded and said “Okay, PvP seminar it is!”

All the kids glared at Alex and said “Waterpark the day after we get back?”

“Nope!”

Then they arrived home and it was dinnertime. 

Steve said “Noor! No dinner for you for a week!”

They then ate dinner and Noor just sat there watching the rest of them eat. After Steve was done, Noor said “Steve, now that you have food in your belly you think you can forgive me and let me have dinner?”

Steve glared at Noor and Noor said “I guess that’s a no”

Alex said “Don’t worry Noor, I say you’re allowed to have one piece of chicken!”

Steve nodded and said “That’s fair. But there is still a PvP seminar tomorrow! If there are none, I’ll mindlessly talk about PvP all day!”

Alex looked up PvP seminars near me and it came up with nothing for the next day except for a really expensive one. 

Alex said “Steve, there is one tomorrow near here. But, it costs 100,000 diamonds per person.”

Steve said “Sign us up!”

Alex signed them up and said “There we go, done!”

Steve said “Done! I’m going to bed. I don’t want to watch the news tonight. I know there'll be a picture of me in the nether on top of a cobblestone pillar with a ghast with the news people saying things like ‘Steven Stonecutter hangs out with ghasts in the nether for fun.’ I just don’t want to see that again.” and headed off to bed.

About two hours later, Alex came up and said “Steve? Are you still up?”

Steve rolled over, groaned and said “Now what do you want?”

“Noor has something to say to you and give to you.”

“I don’t want either!”

Alex then left and said “I’m sorry Noor, he is still very angry about what you did to him. To be honest I would too. Just give him until he talks to his villagers. Then we'll see. He probably will need at least a week to calm down.”

Steve then came out looking very angry and snapped “What is it?!”

Noor handed Steve an I’m sorry card and said “Steve, the guilt of this will haunt me for the rest of my life. I promise I will care for your every need when we get home. I’ll even turn on the TV for you.”

Steve said “Okay, I’m slightly less furious with you”

Noor said “Phase 2?”

“Not until tomorrow”

Steve then went back to bed.

---

The next day when Steve woke up, he said “Now for the brief moment before I remember why I’m angry and who I’m angry at.”

Alex opened the door and said “Steve, you woke up too late to attend the seminar. Can we please go to a waterpark today?”

Steve groaned and said “Yeah. After we go back to the PvP museum”

Alex sighed and said “You being so old, you may have forgotten this. Yesterday Noor picked up the Sword of Swords and got you banned from there. You may never come back. There are going to be a lot of articles on this.”

Steve said “How bad was the news last night?”

“Oh, they showed you in the nether with a wither in the overworld and they told the story behind it.”

Steve burrowed his face in his hands and said “Welp, my life is over. I’ll Be mocked at every turn. I’ll get shunned wherever I go. All my PvP awards will be burned or shredded. And worst of all, I am banned from my second favorite place in the whole world!”

Alex said “Geez, you could always disguise yourself. Noor! Get in here!”

Noor came in slowly and shuddered when he saw Steve. 

Alex said “Noor, it’s okay. He’s over the anger at you, maybe the punishments he came up with won’t even happen anymore.”

Steve said “Yeah. I was a little too harsh with you. I sometimes forget, you don’t know what’s right and wrong.”

Alex said “He’s gotten better at that since we got here.”

“Yeah, I guess”

Steve then said “Everyone out!”

Steve got dressed and headed downstairs. Noor was making pancakes. 

When Noor saw Steve, he said “Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes”

A few minutes later, Noor gave Steve his breakfast. Steve ate his breakfast and then everyone headed to the waterpark.

Once there, Steve sat in a chair by the side of the park and said “I won’t get in. I’m still very frowny with Noor!”

Everyone glared at Noor and said “You ruined our fun!”

Steve said “Fine, I’ll go in with you.” 

And went to the change room and changed.

He then climbed into the pool and said "So relaxing.”

Then Noor said “Steve, there’s a hot tub over there.” and pointed at a hot tub.

Steve said “Aww Noor, you know I love sitting around in a hot tub. That helps a little.” and ruffled Noor’s wet hair.

Steve went over to the hot tub and sat down in it.  About two hours later, there was an announcement that the waterpark is shutting down for lunch. Be back in thirty minutes”

Steve slowly got out and walked over to his friends. 

Tristan said “Would you mind if we joined you in the hot tub after lunch?”

Alex then said “Come on, let’s go.”

Everyone dried off and left 

At lunch Steve ordered the cheese sandwich. Everyone else ordered their meal.

Alex said “Aww Steve. This will be the last lunch you have with these friends for a while”

After lunch, Steve went right back to the hot tub.”

Alex then ordered a hot tub to their house for the next day delivery.

Then another legend got in and said “Steven Stonecutter?! I thought you lived in village 5,000!”

“Oh, you talking to me?” said Steve

“Yes!”

“Just visiting some long lost friends. One of my kids the little rascal got me banned from the PvP museum because he touched the sword of swords”

“Oh my! They were just about to give that PvP relic to you. But, because of Noor, it will never happen.”

“What?!”
