Chapter Text
Hey guys, Amanda here!
y/n = your name
y/nn = your nickname
I'll make sure to include trigger warnings when needed :)
Remember to tell me any suggestions, I'll keep them in mind! Also, if you didn't read the description, please go check that out! Thanks for reading!
"What's up chat!" I say excitedly into my mic, adjusting my headphones. "Welcome to the stream!" Even though I only got 400-500 viewers a stream, I had come really far from the start and I was always happy to stream and answer questions.
I open up my Minecraft world. "Alright, today we'll keep decorating my house and I think I might explore some villages!" A donation pops up on the screen.
UniqueAcorn12 donated $5: How has your week been going, y/n?
"Thank you so much for the donation, UniqueAcorn!" I say, reading through the rest of it. "My week has been alright, but I actually wanted to share some news, which was one of the reasons I streamed today. I'm moving to England later this week!" The chat is filled with That's cool and Aww you'll always be American to us. I laugh and continue placing vines on the side of my house.
Suddenly, the chat is filled with the raid symbol, and my viewer count skyrockets. I suddenly have a thousand viewers, ten thousand viewers, and then 100 thousand viewers. "WHAT??!!" I scream. "WHAT??? WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHAT IS HAPPENING??? WHO RAIDED ME???!!"
The chat starts to fill with people saying "TommyInnit" and "Big T."
"WELL THANK YOU TOMMYINNIT FOR THE RAID. HOLY FUCK." I say. "Well, I guess I should continue the stream? I was just telling chat that I'm moving to England!" I switch to my inventory and place more vines in my hand. "Anyways. We should look up this Tommyinnit guy."
I switch to share my google search bar with the chat and type TommyInnit into the search bar. "Oh, he's a Minecraft streamer and YouTuber!" I say. "That's cool!" I switch to the images tab and a boy with blue eyes and blond hair pops up. He looks so familiar, but and can't figure out where I've seen him before. "Huh," I say. Switching back to Minecraft. "Well, thanks again, Tommy!" I really appreciate the raid."
2 hours later, I've finished the stream and start to head downstairs for a glass of water until my cat Chip curls her way around my legs. "Awww," I smile and pick her up as I head down the stairs. "Hey, mom, what's for dinner?" I call into the kitchen.
"Takeout," she responds.
"Alright, sounds good!" I say.
Time Skip
After dinner, I bring my suitcase downstairs along with the rest of my boxes, sealing the last two with tape and putting a fragile sticker on every side- I didn't want any of my gaming equipment to get damaged.
"Well, Have a good sleep, y/nn. We'll pack up your sheets in the morning," my mom says.
"Okay, mom. love you." I head upstairs, sliding under my covers and quickly falling asleep.
I wake up and see myself standing in the middle of a huge field. A boy is running towards me- Tommy, My childhood friend! He looks to be 11- the age he was when he moved away. "Hi, Y/n!" He says glumly. "Hey, Don't be sad, Tommy. Let's play tag!" I say to cheer him up. "Okay!" He says, his face brightening. "I'm going to win! You can't catch me, bitch!" I snort and run after him. The dream seems to be a memory- playing back to the day he told me he was leaving. At the time, I was distraught- we had been connected, we never went anywhere without each other. Over the years I had made other friends, but I never forgot Tommy. Now the dream is making the memory a fresh wound.
I wake up sad, knowing that this time, I'm the one leaving my friends behind. Sighing, I get out of bed and head into the bathroom, brushing my teeth and washing my face, pulling my hair back into a braid, and putting on a beanie. Heading back into my room, I grab Chip and pop her into her cat carrier, picking up both her and my backpack and looking back into my room one more time, staring at the blank walls and empty floor before shutting my door and heading downstairs.
My mom is waiting for me at the door. She sighs. "I'm going to miss this." we both look around at our quaint, 2-story house before turning around and shutting the door. We pile our suitcases in the back of the car, and we grab our carry-ons and Chip, leaving the rest of our things in the moving van.
In 45 minutes, we arrive at the airport, grabbing our bags out of the car, and heading towards the check-in desk. We head through security, and finally, find our gate, dropping our suitcases with the flight attendants before sitting down.
Our seats finally get called, and my mom and I head toward the plane. As I step onto the plane, I know that it's final- we're never coming back. We find our seats quickly and buckle in, and I stare out the window as we take off, a tear slowly trickling down my face.
"Hey, y/nn, it's okay, it will be a new beginning. You'll make new friends," my mom tells me, wrapping her arms around me as I wipe the tears off my face with my sleeve.
"Yeah, I guess," I say glumly. "I think I'll try to fall asleep."
"Okay, honey, I'll wake you up when we get there." My mom whispers.
Darkness covers my eyes as I slowly fall asleep.
Time Skip
"Y/n, wake up, we're here," my mom whispers, shaking me awake.
"I yawn and stretch my arms, unbuckling my seatbelt and grabbing my backpack from the floor. I walk out of the plane behind my mom, grabbing Chip, and then we head to the baggage claim to grab our suitcases.
"Oh! There they are!" Mom says, and I follow her over to the carousel to pick up my suitcase. "The uber should be waiting outside."
We walk outside and turn the corner, and sure enough, there it is. We pop our luggage into the back, and me and my mom both shuffle into the back seat. My mom rattles off our new address and the driver pulls out of the airport. I pull out my phone and scroll through Twitter. I quickly follow TommyInnit- I'm still so grateful for his raid from yesterday. I open up my notifications, scrolling through, and then decide to make a tweet.
Just got to England everyone's accents are really weird

I sigh and set my phone down, pressing play on my Spotify playlist and staring out the window.
Soon enough, we pull up to a charming house with a nicely groomed front lawn. I step out of the car and look around the little culdesac we parked in. All the homes look very nice, and right at the end of the culdesac I see a bus stop sign- at least I won't have to walk very far to get to school. I stare up at our new home and then poke my head inside. It's beautiful, and I head upstairs to what I assume my new room will be. It's bigger than my old one, and even has its own bathroom! Maybe England won't be so bad after all.
I survey the space, noting where my bed, bookshelves, and gaming setup will go. I set down my suitcase and backpack and pull Chip out of her carrier, holding her in my arms as I walk downstairs.
"Hey, honey," My mom says with a smile. "What a beautiful place! Did you find your room?"
"Yeah, mom, it looks great!" I respond. "Takeout for dinner again?"
"Yep! any preferences?" She asks.
"Thai food?" I ask.
"Sure, sounds good! I'll go pick some up, and you can start unpacking your suitcase. Your bed should already be here since we had it shipped ahead, it's probably in my room."
"Okay. I'm going to go feed Chip."
I head to my room, setting down Chip's cat bed In the corner, and pull out her water and food bowls, giving her some space to eat.
