I've finally done it!!! I've come up with the perfect special!!! I hope you all enjoy it!!!

Update: (2022, re-upload of book) there was a lot of other stuff that went with the 10k special but I've decided not to publish! (Go to my conversations on my profile for more info on everything!)

The next morning, Mumbo woke up to see Grian standing on the balcony. The balcony they had built together. He was so in love.

He got out of bed, and went to hug Grian from behind.

"There's coffee in the kitchen if you want." Grian smiled as Mumbo kissed his head.

"I'm alright for now, I'll just stay here with you."

They stood outside a while, enjoying the warm morning sun, listening to the birds.

Over the next few weeks, it started getting cooler outside, wind blowing more, leaves changing to the prettiest colours.

Soon enough, the first day of fall had arrived.

One morning when Grian and Mumbo got up, they decided it was the perfect day to take a long walk. Not having to worry about working on anything, no shopping, just them spending time together.

They headed outside, hand in hand, and started wandering. They weren't sure where they would go, they had no destination.

The pair passed Xisuma, Cleo, and Bdubs who were all hanging out.

"Hey guys, how are you?" Grian smiled at them, and stopped to chat.

"I'm doing alright!" Cleo turned to Grian, starting a conversation about her latest build idea.

Mumbo had started a completely different conversation with the other two. They were talking about Halloween coming in a while, and what costumes they were thinking of wearing.

"Well, I think I'm going as a snow golem." Bdubs laughed.

"I was gonna go as a snow golem! Maybe I'll go as a pumpkin instead."

"Well, I can't tell you mine and Grian's plan for costumes. Well, my plan for our costumes. I haven't talked to him about it yet."

A little bit after, Grian and Mumbo left again to continue their walk.

-----------

Halloween was coming up fast. Everyone was so excited, discussing costumes, what the big party was going to be like...

Mumbo was thinking about how he wanted to do everything.

He really needed to discuss his plan with someone, but it couldn't be Grian. It would spoil everything if he did!

Iskall of course was the only person he could talk to, so he headed out to go talk to him.

"Hey, where are you going?" Grian caught him at the door.

"Oh! Hey love, I'm just heading to Iskall's, we're gonna hang out for a bit. If that's okay with you."

"Of course! Have fun!" He gave Mumbo a soft kiss and watched as he left.

Grian was baking, as he does now, enjoying his time.

He was so in love with Mumbo, and it was all he could think about.

There was nothing Grian wanted more than to spend the rest of his life with his true love.

As he baked, he also thought of the perfect couple's costume for them to wear to Impulse's Halloween party.

He'd been thinking of many different ideas; some of the sillier more obvious ones like salt and pepper, ketchup and mustard, peanut butter and jelly... Or the classic movie couples, like Jack and Rose...

Or of course there were animal pairs, like dog and cat, cat and mouse (haha read my oneshots book for cat and mouse 🙃).

"I just don't think any of them are 'the' costume though!" Grian thought to himself in silence.

--------

A couple hours later, Mumbo returned just beaming. Everything he wanted to do was planned.

"Well someone had a fun time." Grian smiled softly at Mumbo when he walked through the door, kissing his cheek. "What happened?"

"You'll have to wait and see." Mumbo winked.

"But you know how impatient I am! How long will it be?"

"A little while..."

"Pleaseeeee!!"

"Gri, it's a surprise! If I told you it would ruin everything."

"Fine..."

"So what do you want to do?"

"Well, I made cookies... Wanna eat them and watch movies?"

"That sounds lovely." Mumbo grinned and kissed Grian on his forehead.

The moustached man went to sit on the couch, Grian grabbed the cookies and followed. He snuggled into his boyfriend, getting as comfy as he could (which he was very comfy).

Mumbo picked a random movie and put it on. Neither of them were paying much attention to the screen anyways, it was more of a background noise while the two just looked at each other smiling.

--------

Just two weeks left till Halloween; impulse was talking everyone about what they should bring to the party.

He asked Grian to do some baking of course.

"Preferably Halloween themed, I feel like that would be somewhat obvious... cookies, cupcakes, whatever you want. And I mean, obviously bring yourselves!"

Grian made mental nites of everything Impulse had mentioned. Which wasn't much really, but still good to have some sort of thought at the back of his mind.

"Alright, I can do that! Thanks Impulse!"

"Looking forward to seeing you there!"

Impulse left, and Grian closed the door behind him.

"Mumbooooo!!"

Grian heard Mumbo running quickly.

"Yes love?" He was partly out of breath.

"What should I bake for the Halloween party?"

"Hmm... You should do some cake pops and cookies."

"Ooh, cake pops! That's a new one!"

Grian got out a pencil and paper, beginning to make drawings of what he envisioned for his cake pops.

He made skeleton faces, pumpkins, candies... He couldn't wait to put them all together!

"Grian, I need to go out shopping. I'll be back in a little while okay?"

"Alright, love you!"

"Love you too." Mumbo kissed Grian on the head and left.

--------

6 days left until Halloween. Grian crossed off every day, growing more and more impatient. With everything!!

He still didn't know what Mumbo had planned, he didn't get to know anything about when he'd went shopping... He just hoped it wasn't anything bad, and that Mumbo wasn't hiding something awful from him.

And, they still hadn't even discussed their costumes yet! Grian had suggested his ideas to Mumbo, but he didn't say much about them. He just sort of shrugged and didn't respond.

Little did Grian know that Mumbo had the best costume idea for them.

Grian still didn't want to wait to find anything out. He just wanted to know what was happening!

He had started buying everything he needed for his baking, which was helping take his mind off of things. He wouldn't make anything until the day before; he didn't want anything to get stale. But he did want to try out his cake pop designs to make sure that they would work properly before the party.

--------

3 days left.

Still no responses about costumes.

More impatience.

2 days left.

Almost Halloween.

Still no costumes.

The baking had just barely started.

Halloween morning.

Just 9 hours before the party.

Still nothing about costumes! Grian started to think they weren't gonna go as anything.

Most of the day was spent finishing the baking and decorating.

"Mumbo, what are we doing for costumes?!"

No response.

Grian was putting together the cake pops, decorating them as pumpkins and skeletons, Frankenstein's, candy pieces, plain orange and black...

"Mumbo!!!"

Still no response. Where in the world could he be?!

"MUMBO!!!"

Grian then noticed a paper on the table.

"Hello darling,

I'm sorry I haven't been telling you anything. Everything will be revealed tonight, I'm spending the day at Iskall's to prepare for everything. Your costume is lying on our bed, don't look at it until an hour before the party!

I love you and I can't wait to see you at the party!

<3

-your love, Mumbo"

Well alright then. That explains where he'd went. And why Grian couldn't find him anywhere.

--------

2 and a half hours. Grian was putting the finishing touches on all his cookies and cake pops.

Some of the cookies were shaped like tiny ghosts, some of them pumpkins, some like black cats! Grian was so proud of them.

He was very anxious to go and see his costume, but he wanted to do his best to follow Mumbo's instructions. It seemed important...

--------

59 minutes, 34 seconds, and counting.

Grian was finally allowed to go and look at his costume!

He was shocked to see the beautiful costume laid out on the bed, complete with accessories... He loved it!

A note was left on top of it.

"I hope you love your costume, love! I really can't wait to see you wear it for the party!"

Grian put it on immediately as fast as he could. He admired how he looked in the mirror; absolutely stunning!

--------

15 minutes until the party.

Grian grabbed the trays of baked goods and left the house.

It was a very short walk from his house to Impulse's.

He saw a few people there, but not many.

Everyone who was there stared at him when he walked in.

He didn't pay attention, he just placed the goods on the table and waited around for Mumbo to show up.

--------

1 hour into the party.

Still no sign of Mumbo...

Everyone was there having a good time, asking Grian how he was and wondering where Mumbo was.

Iskall hadn't shown up yet either.

Grian knew Mumbo would never do anything to hurt him, and he knew that Mumbo loved him more than anything.

There had to be some logical reason that he wasn't there yet.

"Grian! Loving the costume, but where's your boyfriend?"

Elise was smiling, giving Grian a playful punch.

"I wish I knew... I haven't seen him all day! He disappeared and I didn't even know I was dressing like this until today."

"I hope he shows up soon... He doesn't know what he's missing right now!"

Elise left, and Grian pulled out his phone.

'mumbo, where the hell are you?!'

'i will be there in a couple min I swear!'

Grian was about to cry. He really didn't want to wait any longer.

And then...

Mumbo walked in, Iskall by his side.

Mumbo was dressed exactly to match Grian's costume.

Grian watched as Mumbo walked over to Impulse, whispering something to him.

Impulse nodded, and Mumbo walked over to Grian.

"You're very late! I love you but you've had me worried sick all day!"

"I promise this'll all be worth it. Follow me."

Mumbo led Grian by hand to the front of the room.

He looked at everyone, and Impulse shouted.

"Hey, Mumbo has something to say!"

Everyone looked to the front of the room.

"Hello everyone... I do have something to say." He turned to Grian and smiled widely. "Grian, for the past few years, you have made me feel so happy. I really don't deserve someone as amazing as you, you are incredible! And I've realized how much I've fallen in love with you, and I do more and more each and every day. I wake up, and just smile thinking about the fact that you are mine."

Mumbo slowly got down on one knee.

"So, my love, I'm begging you... Will you marry me?"

Grian was in tears.

The costumes made sense. He was dressed as a bride, Mumbo his groom.

Mumbo disappearing.

And he was definitely right, it was very much worth it in the end.

Grian nodded slowly and burst into tears; the happiest tears that could have been cried.

"Yes, yes! A million times yes!"

Mumbo pulled the ring out, slid it on Grian's finger, and kissed his future bride.

Everyone was clapping, whistling, smiling, feeling all kinds of different emotions!

The rest of the night, everyone was congratulating the couple.

Elise walked up to Grian and hugged him tightly.

"I am SO happy for you two!! I am so sorry I was jealous at the start... But I'm so glad you're together now and getting married!"

"Awe, Elise, thank you so much!!" Grian smiled, still wiping tears away even though it had been nearly an hour since Mumbo had proposed.

He was just so happy he could hardly handle all the emotions.

--------

Many things had happened over the next few months!

Grian and Mumbo were planning their wedding together.

Christmas was coming, which meant it was somewhat close to new year's, and that meant a new year of HermitWorld would begin.

Everyone had been told that there would be a couple new people joining in the next year, and Grian and Mumbo were very excited!

--------

Christmas would be fairly uneventful for this year; Grian and Mumbo hadn't intended to attend many parties, as they were so busy planning everything. It would be a very busy yet quiet Christmas this year.

Neither of them could wait for the new year, though.

(Over 2000 words!!)

OKAY I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT SPECIAL!!!!

IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO THINK OF WHAT TO DO.

I am very excited to write it!

Also, I have a few more Q&A questions to answer!!!

These questions all came from:

"Favourite MCYT outside of hermitcraft?"

Okay, this is a major stumper... And I really don't know honestly!!!

I love dreamssmp, and benchtrio would have to be my fave from there...

Ahhhhhh I don't know!

I think I actually have to go with Python (was once part of HC, but no longer is), or SMajor (Scottie, part of the last life/thrida life, as well as empires SMP!)

"Pick one - Boatem Crew, Big eyes gang, octagon, or the sawmp lump"

You KNOW I loveeeee Boatem Crew, but I gotta say big eyes gang! Tango is extremely entertaining and I just love the trio of Keralis, Bdubs, and Tango together! (#gemisgreat)

"Do you like bee's?"

BEEEEEEEESSSSS

Okay but like let's clarify.

Minecraft bees are the best. Can't be beat. They're the (warning: terrible pun ahead!)

BEES KNEES!!! (Haha, I'm hilarious)

Wasps SUCK AND I HATE THEM.

IRL bumblebees are adorable and I don't mind them; so long as you don't bother them they don't bother you!

"Aaaaaaaand

why do we exist?"

I honestly ask that question every day of my life.

I don't get it either.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS I ENJOYED ANSWERING THEM :D

I'm still accepting questions, most anything is fine! If I'm not comfortable answering I'll let you know!!
