Bigbst4tz2's Double Life: Episode 3

**SECRET SOULMATES!** is Bigbst4tz2's third episode of Double Life. It was uploaded on July 2, 2022.

## Plot

Bigbst4tz2 starts his episode in Box and shows off his new skin. He notices a message on the wall and checks upstairs to find a gift of bread from a secret admirer, which he correctly assumes to be Grian. He removes the signs, chest, and giant heart so Rendog won’t find it when he comes home. He goes mining under his base and comes close to Smajor1995’s house; Smajor1995 tells him to mine in the other direction.

Rendog comes home to Box and Bigbst4tz2 tells him that he has a surprise for him and that he should keep his eyes closed. Rendog tells Bigbst4tz2 that he collected salmon for food and gives Bigbst4tz2 his enchanted iron boots back that ZombieCleo had stolen from him.

Bigbst4tz2 shows Rendog his new skin with sunglasses and dog ears, and Rendog loves it. Rendog shows off his own yellow skin, and Bigbst4tz2 states that the skin reminds him of InTheLittleWoods. He asks Rendog to tell him that he’s not leaving him, and Rendog tells Bigbst4tz2 they’ll be together until the end. Bigbst4tz2 tells Rendog he’s been trying to get his stuff back and isn’t sure whether ZombieCleo and Smajor1995 were the real thieves.

Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 hear shouting outside and find BdoubleO100 at their staircase, who tells them he hates the black horse that Rendog traded to him because it’s very slow. After BdoubleO100 has left, Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 discuss their plans for the day and Rendog recalls that he saw an iron vein in the deep dark above the enchanting table which he would like to mine. Bigbst4tz2 also wants to go to the ancient city to enchant his pants.

Bigbst4tz2 tells Rendog he has a secret which he can’t hide from Rendog any longer because it’s hurting his heart; he reveals he has a secret admirer that left a note for him in Box. Rendog thinks it’s fine since it’s like window shopping; whoever the secret admirer is can look, but not touch. Bigbst4tz2 reveals that the note said that Bigbst4tz2 should get himself someone who doesn’t die to an Enderman. Rendog thinks that’s rude and feels upset since they insulted his skills.

Rendog appreciates Bigbst4tz2’s honesty on the matter, and Bigbst4tz2 states he wanted to tell Rendog in case he’ll be gone for some time, which will mean he’ll be on vacation with his secret admirer; he assures Rendog that he’ll come back if that ever where to happen.

Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 go to where Smajor1995 is building a ranch nearby and are shocked to notice that ZombieCleo and InTheLittleWoods have died. Smajor1995 leaves to check on ZombieCleo while Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 see ZombieCleo retrieve her items on the cliffside next to her house. Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 wonder what happened and consider stealing ZombieCleo’s stuff but decide not to. They meet InTheLittleWoods and Solidarity at the Ranch and ask InTheLittleWoods what happened, but InTheLittleWoods quickly leaves to retrieve his own items.

Solidarity admires Rendog and Bigbst4tz2’s glasses, stating that he’s jealous of them. Solidarity asks them for help in taking down the remains of the Ranch, but they inform him they’re heading to the deep dark. They invite Solidarity along but Solidarity declines; he values his life and expects Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 to be red before long. Solidarity directs them to where the staircase to the deep dark is, and they leave the Ranch. They admire the Relation Ship in the distance.

Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 go down the staircase into the ancient city and find ImpulseSV at the enchanting table. Bigbst4tz2 gets to enchanting and Rendog asks ImpulseSV about the iron vein; ImpulseSV reveals that there’s a little left, but that SmallishBeans and EthosLab took all the good stuff already.

Rendog and ImpulseSV notice that the sculk sensors around them keep picking up sound despite them not moving. They realize that they are activated by the sound of the voices, which wasn’t the case yet during last episode. ImpulseSV experiments and finds that they don’t get activated when he’s crouching.

The three go up to where the iron vein was using a ladder made by ImpulseSV, and Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 mine the remaining iron while ImpulseSV leaves. Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 hear PearlescentMoon beneath them, and Rendog tells PearlescentMoon to stay quiet, but PearlescentMoon tells him she’s crouched. She tells them she already set off a shrieker two times.

Rendog offers PearlescentMoon iron ‘to appease the demoness’ and PearlescentMoon asks him and Bigbst4tz2 if they’re looting chests as well; Rendog tells her they’re not that brave. PearlescentMoon claims to have seen Bigbst4tz2 in the ancient city before, but Bigbst4tz2 denies this. Bigbst4tz2 throws pieces of iron down at PearlescentMoon, but PearlescentMoon and Rendog warn him that he might set off the shriekers that way. Rendog warns Bigbst4tz2 not to anger PearlescentMoon, reminding him of how she caused their deaths; PearlescentMoon counters that it was their own fault they died.

InTheLittleWoods meets Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 on the platform and GoodTimesWithScares them with a reverb voice. InTheLittleWoods reveals he’s there to retrieve a skeleton skull that he spotted at the other end of the city. Rendog instructs Bigbst4tz2 to go home with the iron, while Rendog goes into the city with InTheLittleWoods.

Bigbst4tz2 goes to the surface using ImpulseSV’s staircase and travels to Box, making plans on improving its face. He crafts cookies and plans to give them to his secret admirer while Rendog is on his quest with InTheLittleWoods; Bigbst4tz2 confesses that he feels that Rendog secretly wants to leave him.

Bigbst4tz2 finds Grian at the Ranch and Grian gives him mutton; he then gives Solidarity rotten flesh. Bigbst4tz2 and Grian head outside the wall surrounding the Ranch after Solidarity sends them away. Bigbst4tz2 reveals that he received Grian’s gift, but states that Rendog knows that Bigbst4tz2 has a secret admirer, just not who it is. He places a chest with cookies in a somewhat failed heart shape as a gift for Grian. Grian gives Bigbst4tz2 a piece of sugarcane, instructing him to keep it secret.

Grian reveals that he found sugarcane on the first episode but hadn’t taken all of it; however, it seems that no one else has the rest. Grian and Bigbst4tz2 quickly pretend to be talking about something else as InTheLittleWoods passes by, and Bigbst4tz2 reveals that Rendog and InTheLittleWoods had gone on a little quest together. He vows to keep Grian’s secret safe with him, since they’re secret soulmates, and they agree to keep giving each other gifts and resources. He gives Grian more cookies and Grian tells him to gather sand so they can have a monopoly on TNT.

Bigbst4tz2 walks back to Box and worries about Rendog finding out his secret. He adds a mouth, a hand, and a mole to Box. He finds a donkey walking around outside and takes it to Box, though wonders whether it might have belonged to someone else. He finds Solidarity, who proposes to take the donkey to the Ranch, but Bigbst4tz2 refuses.

They walk past the Relationship Ranch, and Smajor1995, who overheard their conversation, thinks that his own Ranch is a better place for the donkey. Smajor1995 and Solidarity then argue about whose Ranch is better. GoodTimesWithScar passes by, complaining that he can’t find Grian and that Grian has been taking constant damage. Solidarity steals Bigbst4tz2’s donkey and takes it to the Ranch*;* Bigbst4tz2 admits that the donkey might have belonged to ZombieCleo originally.

GoodTimesWithScar tells Bigbst4tz2 he wants sunglasses and gives Bigbst4tz2 his horn before leaving. ZombieCleo and EthosLab come to the Relationship Ranch and Bigbst4tz2 compliments ZombieCleo’s diamond armor. Bigbst4tz2 notices GoodTimesWithScar chasing PearlescentMoon, who stole GoodTimesWithScar’s horse. Bigbst4tz2 goes home to Box and meets Rendog there. Rendog asks Bigbst4tz2 where he has been, but Bigbst4tz2 doesn’t elaborate and instead says that Rendog has been gone for so long that Box has grown a mouth and an arm. Box supposedly even said its first word: ‘Rendog’.

Rendog confesses that he’d thought Bigbst4tz2 had abandoned him because he couldn’t find him after returning from the deep dark. Bigbst4tz2 still doesn’t tell Rendog where he was. Rendog confesses that he started an alliance with the other people on the server who’ve had their hearts broken. Bigbst4tz2 shows that he got a horn from GoodTimesWithScar, who wants sunglasses in return.

Rendog states that he joined a support group because he has a feeling in his heart that Bigbst4tz2 is going to leave him. Bigbst4tz2 tells him he could never do that and that he’d told Rendog about his secret admirer; he confesses that he thought Rendog might leave him for InTheLittleWoods when they stayed in the deep dark together.

Rendog breeds the cows and tells Bigbst4tz2 he’s formed a group with InTheLittleWoods and PearlescentMoon; he explains his idea that joining the demoness will get them to survive until the end of the series. He explains that by sending love to PearlescentMoon, he hopes that her curse will go in a diffeRendogt direction.

Bigbst4tz2 tells Rendog about Smajor1995’s Relationship Ranch, where soulmates can stRendoggthen their bond, and the two decide to go there. They find Smajor1995 talking to Grian and Rendog tells the two that he and Bigbst4tz2 just had their first fight. GoodTimesWithScar arrives and Smajor1995 first helps Grian and GoodTimesWithScar before it’s Rendog and Bigbst4tz2’s turn. Rendog tells Smajor1995 that Bigbst4tz2 got a box of chocolates from a secret admirer.

Smajor1995 takes Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 to the first activity on the Ranch and puts them in separate corridors, with a goat in Bigbst4tz2’s corridor. He explains that Bigbst4tz2 will have to dodge when the goat is charging at him to avoid hurting his soulmate, while Rendog in the meantime can talk about his feelings. Smajor1995 guesses that Rendog is jealous he doesn’t have a secret admirer himself and is upset that Bigbst4tz2 doesn’t give him gifts like the secret admirer gave to Bigbst4tz2; Rendog admits this all to be true.

Bigbst4tz2 pops in stating that Rendog sometimes lashes out, but Rendog defends himself saying it’s just passion. Bigbst4tz2 gets hit by the goat, which Smajor1995 notes is interesting. He lets Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 out of their separate spaces and concludes that the main problems with their relationship are jealousy and insecurity; Rendog adds that it’s because Bigbst4tz2’s glasses aRendog’t yellow like his own.

Bigbst4tz2 defends himself, stating that he didn’t know his glasses were supposed to be yellow today. Smajor1995 notes that Bigbst4tz2 changed his appearance for Rendog by wearing dog ears and glasses, but Rendog’s not wearing anything of Bigbst4tz2’s; Bigbst4tz2 thinks that Rendog looks more like InTheLittleWoods now. Rendog feels ashamed.

Smajor1995 leads the two to the second activity. He explains that Bigbst4tz2 is going to stand in powder snow while Rendog’s going to have a bucket; Rendog is to either trust Bigbst4tz2 to leave the snow on time for them to not die, or call quits and remove the snow himself. The two take their places and discuss their feelings again as Bigbst4tz2 freezes; Rendog mentions that he was very happy to see Box with a hand, a mouth, and a mole. Bigbst4tz2 knew that Rendog would like the hand, but Rendog questions whether the mole means that Bigbst4tz2 thinks that Rendog is ugly; Bigbst4tz2 then leaves the powder snow with one-and-a-half hearts left.

Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 recover while Smajor1995 states that it’s good that Rendog trusted Bigbst4tz2 to leave the snow in time, though Rendog admits he might have a death wish. They make their way to the last activity and Rendog apologizes to Bigbst4tz2 for not wearing anything of his and for not trusting him to put a disgusting hand on Box; Bigbst4tz2 forgives Rendog. Smajor1995 explains the last activity, ‘trust fall’; Rendog is to jump of a cliff with Bigbst4tz2 at the bottom, and Bigbst4tz2 is to place water in time while Rendog is already jumping.

Rendog jumps down and Bigbst4tz2 places water, but he wasn’t in time to prevent Rendog from taking damage. Smajor1995 notices that Bigbst4tz2 seemed slow to place the water, but Rendog forgives Bigbst4tz2 for it. Bigbst4tz2 gives the water bucket back to Smajor1995 and Smajor1995 leaves to consult his notes to decide what his verdict is on the relationship.

Rendog and Bigbst4tz2 reflect on the session and apologize to each other; Rendog apologizes for starting an alliance with others, and Bigbst4tz2 apologizes for meeting up with his secret admirer. Rendog is shocked to hear this last part while Smajor1995 returns. Smajor1995 states that this changes his verdict; he thinks that Bigbst4tz2 isn’t fully satisfied with Rendog if he met up with the secret admirer. Bigbst4tz2 tries to defend himself, stating that his admirer came to him. Smajor1995 states that his expert opinion is that Bigbst4tz2 and Rendog should take a break from each other, and Rendog disconnects in shock.

Bigbst4tz2 tells Smajor1995 that he feels free and relieved now that Rendog is gone. Smajor1995 tells Bigbst4tz2 that he doesn’t have to stay with his soulmate; he himself and ZombieCleo are living proof of that. Bigbst4tz2 asks if he can leave a review and Smajor1995 tells him he’ll eventually put up a podium with a book once he has paper. Bigbst4tz2 promises to leave a five-star review and leaves.

Bigbst4tz2 goes to Box but finds that Rendog isn’t there. He hears a warden and notices a large group of people running from the Ranch while being chased by a warden. They draw the warden to Smajor1995’s Relationship Ranch and Bigbst4tz2 finds out that TangoTek brought it to the surface and name tagged it; Grian asks what its name is, and TangoTek tells him to go up to the warden and find out.

Bigbst4tz2 and BdoubleO100 separate from the group and BdoubleO100 attacks a creeper. Bigbst4tz2 tries to help while he’s riding his horse but gets blown up instead, losing his second life. Bigbst4tz2 and Rendog respawn and Bigbst4tz2 tells Rendog it was BdoubleO100’ fault. Rendog leaves to go look for his items while Bigbst4tz2 returns to BdoubleO100 riding another horse.

Bigbst4tz2 finds BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV putting his items in a barrel, and they discuss what happened. BdoubleO100 apologizes to Bigbst4tz2 and Bigbst4tz2 retrieves his items from the barrel and puts on his armor. BdoubleO100 tells Bigbst4tz2 that his horse survived at least. BdoubleO100 and ImpulseSV get GoodTimesWithScared when they see Bigbst4tz2 put his sword in his main hand and run away.

Bigbst4tz2 meets EthosLab and some other people and confesses that he’s not feeling well but at least was able to recover his gear. He jokingly blames PearlescentMoon for his death and explains what happened with BdoubleO100 and the creeper. ZombieCleo asks him if he’s going after BdoubleO100 now, and Bigbst4tz2 feels like he should; ZombieCleo thinks he should as well because BdoubleO100 is a liar. EthosLab claims that BdoubleO100 made fun of the face on Box. ZombieCleo thinks that ImpulseSV should be a target as well since he’s a liar too.

Bigbst4tz2 expresses his disbelief at being red, but ZombieCleo says she’s not surprised. Bigbst4tz2 tells her it was a mistake to say that, and ZombieCleo apologizes and gives him steak. Bigbst4tz2 returns to Box and claims responsibility for what happened with the creeper; he recognizes that he shouldn’t have tried to help. He then ends the episode.
