^ 4: Turn back time! ^

ANOTHER SIMP? Wow... guess Megan Thee Stallion was right, it IS a hot person/boy/girl summer! Now all I need is to have the same affect on Saiki K or maybe Nagisa... Hmm- probably not.

"I'm Y/N." you reply simply, hoping some mystery would help you get rid of the awkwardness of this conversation. Karl nodded pensively, almost as if he was trying to pinpoint if he'd met you before or not.

"So, I need to visit my fia- friend, his name's Sapnap, you met him?" Karl enquires as the two of you walk towards the Tree House, as you'd coined it in your head despite knowing it was probably the town hall or someplace important

"Oh! You know Sapnap? Cool, he's actually helping me out with something, so I'm actually heading to meet him and Greg also." you explained ignoring the splutter Karl gave in response to you referring to George as Greg. "And as for why their helping, I'd rather not explain it for like the 5 time today or something so you're going to have to ask them. Sorry not sorry." wow felt good to not apologise for once.

"Oh okay. So, what's the deal with the bandages on your fists?" Karl asked inquisitively nodding towards the reminders of yours and the other two's adventures in tree punching

"A longer story. Trust me."  you look at him deadpanning not wanting him to press the subject any further, but alas he was a curious one.

"It's not like Sapnap and George aren't used to waiting, so  why do we talk over a few drinks?" Karl suggested, and you, one always up for having money spent on them never really spending money on others, agreed.

<*~*>+<*~*>

"So, what do you drink?" Karl asks, looking over at you from his seat at the bar where the two of you where currently sat.

"Erm, I don't drink alcoholic beverages" you explained

"Oh that's fine, what about apple juice?" Karl asked beckoning  the bartender over

"I'm fine with that" you replied happily as Karl ordered a juice for you and surprisingly a Monster for himself, you not realising that apparently no matter the universe Monster would always exist. Such is life.

"So what's the long story behind your bandaged fists?" Karl inquires turning to face you, placing his hand under his chin.

"Okay, you asked for it mister..." you began sighing begrudgingly

<*~*>+<*~*> after explaining~ (if you don't know what happened, read chapter 3!)<*~*>+<*~*>

"Okay wow, so you spent several hours punching trees?" Karl said looking mildly surprised after you recounted your adventures with Simpnap and Greg as you had dubbed them in your mind

"Yep. I think I may stick to punching trees, it's a good workout and I think I look badass with the bandages on my fists so I think I will." You stated proudly looking at the mix of awe and disappointment on Karl's face.

"You don't care that your knuckles will bleed?" Karl asks worry spreading over his features, the poor boy would hate to see you hurt but wouldn't care if he was the one injured. Such is the simp life.

"Meh, them's the breaks my guy. Anyways sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Survival of the fittest y'know?" you say as the bartender placed the both your drinks on the counter.

You pulled your apple juice over to you and took a sip, it was cold and refreshing, exactly what you needed after a long morning of punching trees and running from creeps in the woods.

wait, creeps in the woods.

You'd almost forgotten the strange encounter you'd had while on your way back from the woods with that strange feeling that you where being watched. Maybe you should ask Karl about it?

"Hey um, Karl, are there any like nut cases around these parts I should worry about?" You ventured in a attempt to narrow it down a bit.

"A few I would say, theirs my ex Quackity whose pretty much 110% psycho, then theirs Wilbur who's as sane as the population of a mental asylum. Not to mention Dream who kills people for thrills. And Tubbo isn't that far from here and he has a massive issue with bombs and explosives. So yeah Kinoko's the safest place on earth!" he smiles at the end of his monologue in a attempt to calm your nerves about staying here, which he really wouldn't mind, especially if the two of you could be lodged near to each other or even better with each other... sorry what?

"Geez... who here IS sane?" you ask hoping for a lengthier answer than before only to be met with dry laughter from Karl. "Karl? Please tell me someone is sane, like you for example. Dude this isn't funny..."

The two of you where having a really good time, just joking around and having a great time, untill...

"Y/N! THERE YOU ARE!"
