Steve tapped his iPad screen. The pixels swirled and spun. Suddenly he and Alex tumbled into a blocky world!
Steve landed on his knees. His eyes went wide. Square blue sky and cube green trees surrounded him everywhere.
Alex reached out her hand. Steve looked at it, then took her hand. Together they stepped forward.
They walked across the pixelated grass. Tap. Tap. Tap. Their footsteps echoed in the blocky world.
They stopped at a wide chasm. No bridge. No way across. Steve's face fell.
Alex pointed to a pile of wooden planks. They worked together, stacking block by block, building a bridge across!
They entered a glowing cave. Blue crystals pulsed like a heartbeat along the walls.
A pixelated zombie appeared at the tunnel's end! Steve's eyes widened with fear.
Alex pointed to a pile of stone blocks. Steve grabbed them and they built a wall just in time!
They ran across the bridge back to the floating island. Steve tapped the iPad — it blazed white — and pulled them home. They tumbled onto the rug, giggling.
