===House, The Next Day, Morning===

~~~Herobrine Animatronic's P.o.V.~~~

I sighed, as I looked around the huge, and neat home the Minecraftians had.

I looked beside me, and saw a deactivated Zombrine and Chicken, and a gloomy PigZombie and Endy.

"I missed our resto...", Endy blurted out.
"Me too.", Zombrine sighed.
"Well, although it was very hard... We must accept that our resto was gone...", I heavily said.

Just then, Zombrine and Chicken woke up.

"Good morning Herobrine, PigZombie and Endy...", they sleepily greeted.

I smiled at them.

"Good morning too...", I said.

Just then, we heared the Minecraftians come down.

I looked up at them, and saw them so down, so disappointed.

Steve and Brine's hair were so messy, standing up in different directions. Their ocean-deep blue, and white eyes, respectively, lost their enthusiastic and energetic glow. By the way they moved, they obviously didn't sleep well last night.

They looked at us with guilty eyes.

"Good morning guys...", they listlessly greeted, swerving their glares away from ours.

I sighed, and looked at the others. They nodded.

We sat beside the two, me and Chicken beside Brine, and Endy, Zombrine, and PigZombie beside Steve.

"Hey, are you two okay?", I asked them.

They both sighed.

"We just... We just felt guilty... It was because of us, your restaurant got burned...", Steve sadly said.
"Hey, don't blame yourselves... It wasn't your fault.", PigZombie said, tapping their shoulders.
"If we just didn't come in here... This shouldn'tve been happening to you guys...", Brine said.

I sighed, and shook their sholders gently.

"Look, if you didn't come in here, we shouldn't be fixed now.", Chicken said.
"And if you didn't come in here, I should've been cowering on my cove.", Zombrine added.

They looked up at us, tears on their eyes. They smiled.

"Thanks guys...", they said altogether, hugging us.
"It's okay, Steve, Brine...", Chicken cooed.
"If there was someone to be blamed in here, it was Dreadlord.", I hissed.

They looked up at us.

"You're right...", Steve said.

I sighed, and caressed their hair. Steve yawned.

"I didn't sleep well last night...", Steve sleepily mumbled.
"Me too.", Brine yawned.
"Well, sleep now then...", I smiled at them.

Brine hugged Steve, huddling to the latter's chest. Steve, then hugged him back.

"Sleep well, guys...", Zombrine whispered, smiling at them.

The two closed their eyes, later, falling asleep.

I sighed, seeing the two Minecraftians sleeping peacefully.

"They're so cute, right?", Chicken giggled.
"Yeah... Very cute, I daresay.", Zombrine said, observing the two's calm and stable breathing.
"Well, we should be quiet, and don't disturb them both.", I whispered.

They all nodded.

"Well, you know what, Hero? We still couldn't believe that you've got a twin.", Endy chuckled.
"Me either... It's just funny...", I silently giggled.
"Well, if they would go back to Minecraft, what'll we do?", PigZombie asked me.

I sighed.

"I dunno, maybe... Build another pizzaria?", I suggested, shrugging my shoulders.
"Huh? But we don't have permits or whatever that needed. And, no one will buy us, anyways...", Zombrine shrugged.
"Building another resto was better than to be rotten forever.", Chicken sighed.
"Or worse... Be scrapped for parts.", PigZombie gulped.

I sighed.

"But before anything else, we must stay here.", I said.
"Well, at least, before Steve and Brine goes away.", Endy said.

I sat down on another couch.

"What if... We cook for them both?", Chicken suggested.

We all glared at her.

"I mean, it's... Boring... Ehehe...", she nervously reasoned out, sweatdropping.

I snickered at her awkward reaction.

"Actually, I liked your idea... Let's cook then...", I agreed.
"What should we cook?", Zombrine asked.
"Um... Steak..?", PigZombie suggested, more like a question.
"Well, sure! I can do steaks a lot better than anything else...", Endy smiled.
"You can cook?", I asked the Endoskeleton.
"Y-yeah... It was in my programming.", he said awkwardly.
"Now I know what animatronic you are destined to...", I smirked at him.

"What?"
"A chef."

We all laughed, until we heared a groan.

"Shh!", I hissed, looking at the sleeping couple.

Brine just hid his face against Steve's chest, and Steve was shifting a bit, his head against Brine's. They both snored silently.

I sighed.

"Good thing they're really asleep...", I huffed.

I looked at my fellow animatronics.

"Let's cook now!", I said.

===Le Timeskip===

"The steak's done!", I smiled, clapping my hands together.

Then, we heared a yawn.

We looked behind, and saw Steve and Brine, stretching and rubbing their eyes.

"Good morning, guys...", they yawned.
"Good morning to you too...", I smiled.

They stood up. I approached them both, and put my arms on their shoulders, me on the middle of them.

"Well, we must eat now... We animatronics cooked for you two.", I whispered.

"Huh? But, you don't need to–"
"Come on, we have already cooked for you...",
"Okay, fine."

Then, they sat down.

"Seriously? Steak?", Steve laughed.
"Yeah. We just thought that you'd want some food when you wake up, so Endy cooked some steak.", PigZombie said.
"Oh, okay then...", Steve smiled.

Steve and Brine ate the steak. They smiled at us.

"Wow Endy! You could cook perfect steaks!", Steve squealed, taking another bite from the steak.
"I agree!", Brine blurted out, raising his fork.

Endy giggled, flattered.

"Thank you guys...", he shyly said.
"Well, thanks a lot for the steak...", Steve smiled.
"You're welcome!", Chicken squealed, winking.

And we laughed, looking at Brine and Steve happily eating.

"They're so happy...", I whispered to Zombrine.
"Yeah... That steak Endy cooked surely made them feel a bit better.", he agreed.
"Well, they are actually enjoying it.", PigZombie blurted out, looking at the Minecraftians with a smile.

The couple talked to each other cheerfully, smiles on their faces.

"At least they forgot about the guilt they felt a while ago...", I sighed.
"Yeah... They blamed themselves for the burning of the resto.", Endy said.

I nodded, and looked at the satisfied Minecraftians.

========

After eating, Brine washed the plates. Steve, meanwhile, sat on the couch, sighing.

"Well, I don't think Steve is feeling any better now...", I mumbled.
"He looked glum...", Zombrine sadly said.

We looked as Brine sat beside him, hugging Steve. He also looked disturbed.

"I'll talk to them...", I said, as I went to them.

As I approached them, I smiled at them.

They both gave me fake smiles.

"Oh, Hero... Is there anything we can help?", Steve asked me.

I sighed, crossing my arms and shaking my head slowly in disappointment.

"Is there anything I can help you?", I asked back, glaring at each of them.

They smiled.

"We're totally just fine...", Brine smiled.

I frowned at them.

"Stop pretending, Steve, Brine... I know that you two were thinking about something...", I said.

They both sighed.

"Fine... We're just thinking of a way to get back in Minecraft.", Steve mumbled, bowing his head.
"We're just worried-sick about our daughter and our home...", Brine added.

I sighed, and tapped their shoulders.

"I know that everything will be okay... And that you will get back to Minecraft.", I smiled.

They both looked up at us, smiles on their faces.

"Th-thanks guys...", Steve shyly mumbled.
"You're both welcome.", I winked at them.

And the whole day came, with us playing some games.
