Summary
A boy named Sully says goodbye to his girlfriend, Sally, whose parents are moving away to Template:Wikipedia, both incredibly saddened by the situation. As Sully retreats into his room and sulks, he decides to play Minecraft:Minecraft, apparently on Minecraft:Christmas. As he sees a present chest, he's reminded of a gift Sally had given him, realizing it's a Minecraft:dried ghast. He takes it into the bathroom and hydrates it with the sink, discovering it's a real, living Minecraft:ghastling. As it flies up into the air, it makes a mess of the room and flies out the window.
An unknown amount of time later, the creature has matured into a Minecraft:happy ghast, Sully somehow having crafted a Minecraft:harness. As he prepares for a journey, he sneaks in wearing a bathrobe and hesitates before jumping out the bathroom window. Together, the ghast takes the boy on a ride through the clouds, all the way down under. Flying above the desert, the boy calls out to Sally, who is relieved to see that her idea worked. The two join each other on the ghast, and fly off into the sky.

"Today is the International Day of Friendship! it's a perfect time to remember those shared Minecraft moments: adventuring into the depths together, planning a perfect base, or successfully raiding a friend's chest moments after they log off. Minecraft can help you stay connected, no matter how far apart you might be.
It's a little known fact that our unique flying mob - the Happy Ghast - also has the ability to bring people together in even more imaginative, cinematic ways.
#ShapeYourWorld #InternationalDayOfFriendship DISCLAIMER: Mounting a huge flying mob and using it to traverse the earth IRL is both silly and dangerous. It’s a Minecraft thing.
"What better way to celebrate #InternationalDayOfFriendship than by visiting your best friend...on a happy ghast 💚
Trivia
