THANK YOU
Btw, I think I kinda made this one gender neutral lmao- ( I kinda did, idfk if I somehow fucked it up along the way, anyway-) Like I didn't state your gender ever (or at least I think so I might've fucked up) but the first part to this says that your their sister so uh.... you can be their brother in this if you want- if it ever says she, YOU SAW NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL-

Your POV -.-
"Ok, now explain to me how I could get these glasses?" George said, sitting down on a log. You let out a laugh, grinning.
"Oh my god, George, you would have to go into the kingdom. And we are not doing that." You answered, George only looking more frustrated.
"No, but I seriously want those glasses. I wanna see color NORMALLY." He protested, glaring at you.
"Muffins, calm down. Please." Bad sent a slightly stern glare towards the two of you, Sapnap chuckling as Bad said it.
"Ok Dad." Sapnap said, even though he wasn't in the argument.
"Bad, no but I actually want to know why Y/N never wants to go to the kingdom- like seriously, Phil is a nice ruler." George looked at you and your face stayed neutral, unreadable.
It had been 5 years since you had seen any of your actual family, since you had run away.
That night, when you had run away, you had seen these guys. Dream, George, Sapnap, and Bad. The four had taken you in, not questioning you at all, realizing that you could actually be a help to the team.
They hadn't asked questions, they hadn't done anything except for care and help you.
You didn't understand how they could be so accepted, but they just were.
So, you stuck with them. You guys were well known thieves but nobody knew your real identities.
Nobody knew yours, that was for sure.
"George, I just don't feel safe in that place." You answered, glaring at George slightly.
"Guys-" Sapnap warned, starting to stand up when Dream walked into the small clearing, taking off his mask and grinning, his bright green eyes showing.
"Look what I gottttt" Dream teased, you shifting your position so you were looking at him. He sat down on one of the logs, Bad giving him a muffin.
"Eat." Bad commanded, motioning to the muffin that he had put in Dream's hand. Dream nodded, but quickly took out the thing he had tucked under his arm as he shoved the muffin in his mouth.
"Ok so-" He started, George quickly chiding him because of talking with his mouth open. He went to grab the scroll under Dream's arm but Dream swatted his hand away, giving it to you. He motioned for you to look at it, knowing that you would read it easily.
You looked down at the map, memories flooding your mind.
It was a map of the castle, one room filled with question marks while all the others had the words of what it was in it.
The room that wasn't labeled, the room that nobody knew about, was yours.
"Uh- So what exactly are we doing?" You asked, pretending to be blunt. Sapnap scoffed, ripping the scroll out of your hand, making Bad yell at him for a quick second.
Sapnap looked at the scroll, eyebrows scrunching up slightly. "Are we supposed to raid the room with the question marks in it?"
Dream stood up and grabbed the scroll out of his hands. At this rate the scroll would be ripped up into small pieces like what happens when you give a dog your homework.
"Duh." He answered simply, looking around at the scroll. "The question is, how do we get in and out unnoticed?" Dream looked up, mask next to him, bright green sweater matching with his eyes.
George let out a small laugh, taking something out of his pocket. "They're holding a Masquerade ball." He said simply, putting the piece of paper on the ground in the middle of everyone.
"No kidding." You scoffed, looking at the sheet of paper. "Looks like anybody's invited."
Bad nodded, picking the piece of paper up gingerly. "Wait... Muffins, this means that we could get in and out unnoticed."
"Bad, why do you call everyone muffins?" George asked, making Bad look up from the sheet of paper.
"Yeah, why do you Bad?" Sapnap added on, shifting in his seat.
"That isn't important-" Bad protested, blushing slightly.
"What is important is that we need costumes. Good enough ones where we can get in and out of the castle. Y/N, you'll retrieve whatever is in that room and jump out of the window. George and I will be downstairs, making sure that nobody suspects of you. Sapnap will be outside, ready to set the place on fire if needed, or help you get out. Bad will be at the edge of the forest and make sure we all get back safely." Dream stated, making a plan quickly.
"No- I can't-" You said, standing up and running a hand through your hair nervously.
"Yes you can. Now, c'mon. We have to get ready, after all that Masquerade isn't going to happen in a week, it's happening tonight. Bad, you make the costumes." Dream stood up, making everyone else stand up from their seats, Dream ruffling your hair.
"Oh come on now, it'll be fun."
Timeskip -;-
Why the fuck did you ever agree to this I mean you hated costumes and when you had to do this once a year with Phil and your actual family it was annoying but at least then you could mess around with Techno or Wilbur or Tommy or Tubbo, or just sit downstairs and play games with Ranboo and Niki-
"Y/N?" Dream asked, snapping you out of your thoughts. You looked at him, a smile playing it's way onto your lips. "You sure you wanna do this?"
You let out a laugh, thinking of the snarky remark you could make but instead saying the polite one. "Hell yeah."
He nodded, looking back over at Sapnap who was getting help from Bad, for putting on his costume.
George was wearing a mask with blue feathers and gems on it, fake ones of course, and a blue suit with a white tie. The feathers almost covered up his whole face, his goggles somehow underneath the mask. Nobody asked how he managed to do so, but then again nobody really cared. As long as the costume worked, it worked.
Dream had a bright green suit on with a black tie, and his normal smiley face mask. Except for the fact that Bad had tried to glue some green feathers onto it but we don't talk about that-
Bad wore a hooded sort of cloak thing, red and black. He had a suit on underneath, the suit being a black so pure it looked like a night when there were no stars out, when the moon was gone. His mask was in the shape of a birds, a beak carved into the mask. The mask had black and red feathers on it, small gold ones sprinkled into it as well.
Sapnap had his normal worn out bandana on, mask on as well. His mask didn't have the shape of an animal, it more just looked like flames encasing his face. Red, orange, and yellow feathers encased his face, almost covering all of it like George's. He was wearing a bright orange suit with a crimson red tie, a small pin that he had found a while ago attached to where the breast pocket was. The pin was of a small fire symbol, and he loved it.
You were wearing a black suit with a silver tie. Your mask had blue, purple, and black feathers on it, covering your face fully except for your eyes. Your eyes were well seen, startling anybody who looked straight into them. Your hair had a silver feather on one side, a gold one on the other.
"Everyone ready to go?" Bad asked, inspecting everyone's costumes. You let out a laugh, a bit of excitement bubbling in you.
"I think so." You answered, turning around to walk out of the forest, out of the clearing, towards the castle.
"Then let's go." Dream said, taking your left hand in his, your right hand being taken by George's left hand, his right hand being taken by Sapnap's, and Bad's left hand being taken by Sapnap's right.
Eventually all of you arrived at the castle, being quickly escorted inside as everyone was invited.
Your recognized the person letting everyone inside... Ranboo.
He looked a lot more worn out, a lot more... tired. His normal different colored eyes that used to hold a happiness, and excitement were gone. He was wearing his normal suit, but his mask was white and black on each side, green and red feathers sticking up on each side of the color.
"Sir, Sir, Sir, Ma'am, Sir, you may go inside." He said to you, not seeming phased by how many of you there were. Then he went to escorting the others.
"He seemed nice." Bad commented as the five of you got inside, hands departing from others.
"Bad, remember we're not here to make friends." Dream said through gritted teeth, looking around at the place.
It was... exactly how your remembered it.
Everything was just more decorated, because it was a ball.
All five of your drifted away from each other, each of you actually going towards the front of the crowd, to look at the Prince's and the King.
"Hello!" Phil's voice rang through the room, a voice you thought you would never hear again. You almost stopped in your tracks, hearing his voice, but you simply turned around, looking up at him.
He was wearing a black suit with a green tie. His mask had feathers on it and, somehow, there were black wings coming out behind him. You knew it was part of the show, you knew that it was. You didn't know how the maids and servants got it but you didn't really care how. What mattered was that you were seeing your Dad again and that you couldn't run into his arms and cry, and tell him about your stories, or just find the comfort of home again.
Techno was standing behind him, royal gown on. He looked just about the same, his eyes red as if he was angry, which he probably was. His crown was placed on his head elegantly, his mask pink with rubies where their color was so light they looked pink, engraved into it. He looked bored, as usual, and was the only person in the royal family to have a weapon on him. You recognized that the sword was different, that it was the sword that... that was the last sword you touched.
A sob almost escaped from your mouth, you quickly hiding your emotions again as Dream walked through the crowd to stand next to you.
You were seeing all of them again, and it hurt. It opened up the gash in your heart that had opened when you had ran away.
Wilbur was standing next to Techno, eyes lit up slightly as he scanned the room, looking at the civilians. He had a yellow mask on, feathers ever so slightly covering his face. He had a yellow sweatshirt on, his normal outfit. You almost chuckled at the sight, how out of place he looked compared to everyone else.
Tommy was standing behind Wilbur slightly, still visible though. He was wearing a red suit, he looked very frustrated, and a red mask with dark red rubies engraved into it, feathers whisking around his face, annoying him. He was messing around with Tubbo, definitely.
Tubbo was standing behind Techno, talking to Tommy. He was wearing a black suit with a red tie, mask covered with dark green feathers. His eyes were lit up, fully, but you could tell that they were still slightly dim.
And you knew the reason.
Because of you.
The words the Phil spoke were drowned out in your mind as you looked around, catching eyes with some people, just looking around and recalling memories.
Memories that you loved, memories that you tried to forget, memories that were always with you.
Dream shook your arm, getting your attention.
"Y/N." He said softly, motioning towards the stairs. "Now's your time."
You looked up at your family, noticing how they were all facing away except for Techno. He locked eyes with you, giving you a small smirk and then turning around, to look at the chandelier that everyone was admiring. It was brand new, you knew that.
You had an uneasy feeling about this... but ran through the crowd swift fully, running up the stairs silently, and running through the castle.
You didn't have time, no, you had the time to but you didn't want to.
You didn't want the memories to resurface so you ran, ran as fast and as silently as you could, through the castle and to your room.
It had been painted over, tapestry had been put over the door to it, but you knew where the door was.
You shoved the small bit of the "wall" and it tumbled inwards, revealing your old room. Nothing was in there except for your old belongings. You saw that the letter you had written to them was gone and you crumpled down on the floor.
You couldn't, you couldn't do it.
The mission was pointless. There was nothing in this room, there was nothing anywhere.
You had let them go on with it, otherwise if you revealed what you knew they would be suspicious, ask too many questions.
It was known that Dream trusted you with the most important missions.
And you had just failed it.
You stood up quietly, walking over to the window and looking down at it.
Sapnap was standing there, looking a bit worried. You quickly ducked back into the castle, making sure he didn't see you.
Turning back around a small smile was painted onto your lips, as you looked straight at Technoblade.
"Hello." You said, voice slightly sweet.
He walked towards you, ripping your mask off of your face. He tilted his head downwards, looking at the floor.
"I knew it was you." Techno said, chuckling softly. "I've waited so long for this, for you to come back here so that I could know that you were safe. I almost gave up, the voices said that you were probably dead."
You smiled softly, eyes boring into Techno. He looked up and turned his head, looking around the room. His eyes caught yours for a second, our of the corner of his red eyes.
"I see that you're angry." You said, motioning towards his eyes slightly.
"Of course I'm goin' to be angry. You left for 5 years and never said anythin', other than that note." He answered through gritted teeth, turning back around to face you.
"You know-" You started, no tone in your voice at all, but you were cut off.
"Techno, what are you doing up here-" Tommy's voice rung through the room, and you saw him look into the room.
He first saw Techno, and then his eyes locked down on you.
Those bright, bright blue eyes that held happiness, anger, and most evident right now, surprise.
He recognized you easily, your eyes looking so familiar to him that he could've told who you were from a mile away, the presence of you so comforting.
He was your older brother, the older brother that had seen you grow up right behind him, next to him the whole way.
Until you betrayed that, betrayed that silent promise that you wouldn't leave each other.
Tommy was frozen in the doorway for exactly 2 seconds, before storming into the room and standing straight in front of you.
His bright blue eyes looked less happy, less surprised, the only emotion showing was anger.
"What the fuck are you doing showing back up here." He looked you straight in the eyes, and you had to resist the urge to laugh.
It was hilarious, seeing your brother get so mad. You had seen him mad before, but not nearly as upset as this.
"Answer me, bitch." Tommy glared at you, Techno standing to the side of you two. Tommy was taller than you (insert {slightly} {,he towered over you} or forget I said anything about him being taller than you if you are taller than him. <3) and you knew he was trying to be intimidating.
Well, he wasn't exactly trying, he was being intimidating.
But after all your years of living around Dream, George, Sapnap, and Bad your fighting had only gotten better, and you had learned how to stand your ground.
"Tommy," You let out a laugh, a loud one. "Tommy. Hello brother, how long has it been now? 5 years? What a small amount of time." You grinned at him, his blue eyes darkening.
"Listen here bitch, I suggest you leave now and let's all pretend this is a dream." He snarled at you, making you laugh again.
"Tommy, shouldn't you have learned this a while ago? I don't leave simply, I stand my ground. More now than ever." It hurt, being in your room again, being yelled at and despised by your own brother.
At least you knew that he thought you were dead.
"Y/N, go." Techno's voice suddenly interrupted the conversation, your head turning to look at him. "Tommy is obviously a little pissed, how about we go back downstairs before Dad or Wilbur get too confused-"
"Too late." A sing-song voice echoed through the room, the sounds of footsteps coming up behind Tommy filling your ears.
Wilbur peeked over Tommy's head, smiling down at you. It wasn't a welcoming smile, obviously, it was an angered and fake one.
It was the type of smile you gave to someone that said, "Oh dear, you're gonna be dead by tomorrow."
Everything was turning out just how you had expected.
Wilbur and Tommy can both hold a grudge, for a long, long time. They were both pissed at you, pissed as fuck.
Techno would've known that you were alive but he would still be upset, still be extremely worried, still probably yell at you.
Tubbo would hug you and then cry, making you feel guilty.
Phil would hug you, then scold you, then hug you again, welcoming you back home with a smile that was the exact opposite of Wilbur's.
"Hello Wilbur." You said simply, Wilbur's honey brown eyes staring at you.
"Nothing else to say? No, "I'm so sorry for running away and scaring the living fuck out of you", or "Oh no, I got hurt so fucking much I wish I never ran away". Nothing?" Wilbur asked, tugging Tommy away from standing right in front of you, Wilbur now taking his place.
You chuckled softly, sparing a glance at Techno. He was only smirking at his younger brothers anger, amused for sure.
The thing with Techno is that he would laugh at other people's pain, he would laugh at his own sometimes. (AHAHAH SAME BRO- PAIN IS FUCKING FUNNY-)
You partially understood it, just partially.
"Wil, understand that I am not going to say any of that. Instead I will kick you in the shins and try to escape." You gave a sweet but poisonous smile to Wilbur, kicked his shins, and then tried to make a run for it.
Unfortunately Technoblade was in the room.
Wilbur cried out in pain, immediately falling backwards and cradling his right shin in his hands. Tommy stood still, confused by the sudden motion happening in front of him.
But Techno, he knew what you were planning. He was great at predicting things, I mean this man could play chess way too well.
Techno had somehow appeared in front of the window, glancing downwards and seeing Sapnap worriedly talking to Dream.
He saw the two talking and put the pieces together.
You had kicked Wilbur in his right shin, then turning around only to see Techno blocking the pathway.
You turned back around, trying to find another way out, only to see Tommy blocking the entry.
"Fuck."
"Soooo, you run off, get found by the Dream Team or whatever they call themselves, grow up with them?" Techno asks and a look of surprise flashes onto your face before being quickly painted neutral again.
"Hmm... So I'm right." He answers his own question, grinning softly.
"Tommy, let me the fuck out of here." You spat at Tommy, a smile placing itself carefully onto his face. Your only priority now was getting out of here with your past still unknown, with the Dream Team/Muffinteers not knowing who you really were.
"Y/N, I still need to get my payback." Techno commented, the tone in his voice worrying you.
"Techno please no, I have an idea of what you're going to do-" Techno smirked at you, turning around and shouting down the walls of the castle, voice reaching the ears of two of the four people who knew nothing about your past but who were basically your family.
"Sapnap, Dream, get into the castle. You know what happens if you don't." Dream's eyes flickered upwards, his mask quickly slipping back onto his face with the small bit of motion.
Sapnap looked upwards as well, eyes filling with fear.
"GUYS DONT-" You yelled out, hoping that they would get the message. But the two were fairly blunt at times, especially with messages.
A hand tapped your shoulder, making you whip around. It was Tommy, Wilbur only now starting to stand up.
Tommy realized his mistake too late.
You whipped out of the room, going through the entrance. You adjusted your mask back onto your face, darting down to the ground floor.
"fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck" You murmured, glancing behind you. This was not turning out well-
You felt yourself run into someone, someone tall.
You fell backwards and so did the person, the sound of something clattering onto the floor sounding into your ears.
Wait-
"Oh uh- I am so sorry Ma'am please forgive me-" A voice called out, snapping you back into reality.
You looked up into the different colored eyes that made you feel so much guilt.
"R-Ranboo." You said softly, a sob choking you in the middle of speaking.
Ranboo looked in confusion and then surprise, tears filling his eyes.
"Nonononon- Don't cry please do not cry." You said shakily and he nodded, wiping the gathering tears in his eyes with a napkin he was holding.
"Y-Y/N?" He laughed softly, you nodded, confirming his suspicions. He looked behind you, looked at you, and quickly guessed what had happened. That was the good thing with Ranboo, even with his terrible memory he could understand you easily, he could read your expressions, he could know what you were thinking.
"Wait wait wait- Dream Team, Upset, Anger, Frustration, people entering the castle?" He asked, you nodding softly and letting out a chuckle.
"We have to get you out of here then, c'mon." Ranboo grabbed your arm, pulling you up with one hand while the other balanced the tray he was holding.
You both teleported outside of the castle, easily.
His teleporting skills had improved so fucking much, he controlled it perfectly.
"Get to where your going." He said, taking his hand off of your arm but you grabbed his arm instead, an action telling him to stop.
He looked at you again, slight anger on his face.
"Forgive me, also congratulations on becoming a valet, I will visit sometime. If you ever need a place to stay just... well, just send a message to {address} I will get it." His expression softened and he pulled you into a hug, a soft and farewell hug.
"I wish only luck to you Ranboo, truly." You mumbled softly, him laughing.
"Same thing to you, Y/N." Then you felt him teleport away, the hug that you had once been embraced in now gone.
You let out a soft sigh, examining everything to remember the moment, then sprinting towards the front gates.
You felt like you were flying, you felt like you weren't attached to this world. No matter the fear and confusion that filled you, you felt like you were happy.
Running this fast, using your emotions to fly, it was a nice, happy, bubbly feeling.
Until you saw a lime green suit, gathering next to the color of orange, blue, black, and red.
You ran faster, faster, and faster, grabbing onto the shoulder of Dream.
He didn't see you, and you almost pulled him off of the ground.
"Dream, Dream, George, Sapnap, Bad-" You practically stumbled over your words, Dream looking at you with surprise.
"How did you-?" He started, George only now comprehending what was happening.
"Wait-" George started, you quickly cutting him off.
"No time, we are not going fucking inside, follow me if you trust me." You said quickly, tugging at Dream to follow you. "We can't be here right now, come on." You were pleading them, pleading them to follow you.
Sapnap was confused, Bad was worried, Dream's shoulder was hurting because of you tugging on it, and George was being colorblind.
You looked behind Dream, your eyes catching with ones that you found comfort in, ones of your Dad.
"Go." You commanded, throwing Dream by his shoulder behind you, Dream landing and running, the others following.
You and Phil held eye contact for a bit, before you spoke up.
"Dad, I know I ran away, I am not coming back. Accept that. Send Techno on my trail, send the best trackers on my trail, I will never come back. I love you guys, even though we're all basically psychopaths." You ran a hand through your hair, a smile painting itself onto your face.
"I love Techno even though he kinda betrayed me, I mean it was funny. I love Wilbur still because he's my brother, he's just angry. I love Tommy still and I hope that he someday finds a kingdom to rule of his own because we all know that Wilbur's going to be the next one to rule. And then Tommy, if he's still alive. Or not, maybe Tubbo could rule sometime. Tell Tubbo that... I miss him." A chuckle escaped from your mouth, just from thinking about Wilbur being a ruler. He would be a damn good one, until he went insane. The pressure would be too much for him, you knew that. Then Tommy would normally be next in line, except he might pass it on to Tubbo.
Who knew what would happen.
"I will visit though, not for you guys though. I will visit for Ranboo, for Niki, for them. I still love you though. Expect to be getting a letter each year explaining how I've been and what I've been up to. I will send a hint in each letter about where I am, as a scavenger hunt, a pointless one, for you guys.
I love you guys, I really do. You just have to accept that I'm not coming back, not coming back to stay at least. And next time, don't try to kill me first try you get." You saluted to Phil, a sly smile on your face.
You looked up, up towards the top of the towers on the castle.
There he was, there was Techno standing on the roof.
He gave a salute to you, and you could see his grin.
He was proud, he was proud.
Wilbur was looking at you with a bit of sadness from outside of his window, a small smile placed on his face.
He saluted as well.
Tommy and Tubbo were standing right in front of Phil now, the two of them suddenly having appeared.
Tommy gave you a shit eating grin, and saluted. He mouthed bitch, of course.
Tubbo smiled softly, saluting you and then pointing to a little yellow and black thing rested on the top of his head.
It was a small bee, he had a bee friend.
Phil smiled at you a smile that only a Dad can give, one that is finally letting a bird out of the nest.
Then he saluted.
"Goodbye fuckers." You said, Techno's laugh barely heard from where you were.
Then you turned around and ran, ran as fast as you could into the forest.
You were greeted by Dream, George, Sapnap, and Bad as soon as you entered the forest, the four of them looking at you with puzzled expressions.
"What was that about?" Bad asked, taking his mask off.
"Yeah, really what was that about?" Sapnap commented, taking his mask off as well and then straightening his tie.
"Well, if you really wanna know, I'm the lost royalty of the Sleepy Kingdom."
