1st Person POV -
I waved goodbye to Bad as he left. Every week he would come over to my house and bring us a tray of muffins to eat. We'd talk about current things in our life, or things that were troubling us. The other would listen.
Talking to Bad was refreshing. Tommy and Tubbo were always very energetic and they always got into trouble. And hanging out with the Dream Team was often chaotic. But hanging out with Bad was the exact opposite. I enjoyed it.
Shortly after he left, I wrapped up the muffins and stored them away for later. Then I grabbed my sword and shield and started walking to Tommy's house.
After getting the discs back everything was like it was when we first started the Dream SMP. There was the occasional trouble-making which would result in a fight. But those situations never turned into something serious.
Whilst I was deep in my thoughts I ended up bumping into something, or perhaps someone, on the path. I find myself looking up to a tall figure.
"Wilbur?!" I ask, my mouth agape. The tall male looks down at me and his eyes go wide.
"Y/N?" The familiar deep British accent replies back.
He leans down slightly and wraps his arms around me. I hug him back.
"I can't believe it! God- it's been like 3 years? 4 almost?" I say in awe. He chuckles.
"Yeah, it's been a while hasn't it?" He says, pulling away from the hug.
"Well how have you been? Where's Phil and Techno?" I ask him, signaling him to walk with me, he quickly catches on and begins walking in pace with me.
"Both are back at SMPEarth. That's where I last saw them anyways." He replies, grinning a bit.
"Right I forgot how close Techno was with your father. Man it's been forever since I saw those two!" I say.
"So how is Tommy?" Wilbur asks me. We turn a corner on the path.
"Your brother has been a handful, but that isn't new I suppose." I say, laughing. "I'm guessing that's why your here?"
Wilbur laughs a bit, "Yeah. Guess that wasn't hard to figure out." He thinks for a moment. "Thank you for- y'know, watching him after we went away. He's always looked up to you."
I nod, "Of course. While he may be much more louder and obnoxious than all of you combined, he's my best friend."
"Ouch, what happened to Techno and I being your best friends?" He says, pretending to be hurt by my statement.
"Well once you guys grew of age and left for SMPEarth, after a while you didn't send letters anymore. I was worried sick y'know." I say, shrugging my shoulders. I feel a grin rise to my face. "So I replaced you guys with your brother."
He has a thoughtful look plastered across his face. "I'm sorry, for not writing letters. A lot of stuff happened back at SMPEarth and-" He began.
I cut him off. "Hey it's ok! Just teasing you. I understand."
He nods. "Where is Tommy?"
"We're actually walking in the direction of his house now. I was going to meet him and Tubbo before you showed up." I reply.
"Oh Tubbo! Wow they're still friends?" Wilbur asks me, a smile forming on his face.
"They never stopped being friends. Those two are always together, almost like you can never tear them apart." I say, giggling a bit. Wilbur nods.
The rest of the walk was filled with conversation. We caught each other up on things that happened in our lives while we were away. After a short amount of time we were in front of Tommy's house.
Wilbur adjusted his red beanie and combed his hands through his brown fluffy hair. I pat him on the back in reassurance.
"He'll be thrilled to see you again. And if he isn't I'll kick him!" I say to him. His eyebrows quirk up in amusement and he stifled a laugh.
I walk in, Wilbur trailing in behind me.
"Hey guys! Brought someone special over today. You might know him." I say. Both boys look up with confused expressions on their faces. Once their eyes landed on the tall figure behind me, their expressions immediately changed to looks of shock.
"Wilbur? Is that really you?" Tommy says, hardly believing the words coming from his mouth.
"Hey Tommy. It's been a while." Wilbur replies, an awkward laugh escaping him.
I step out of the way as the Brits reunite with each other. I smile at the exchange.
I think back to when Wilbur and Techno were still in the village.
Both of them were older than me. At the time Tommy was 13. Wilbur was 21 while Techno had just turned 18. I was only a year younger then Techno.
Of course, I didn't end up leaving the village until I was 20 because-
Well I've already explained that in the in the beginning of this story, even though I'm canonically not supposed to say this is a story.
The day that Techno, Wilbur, and Phil had left, they entrusted me to take care of Tommy until he could go to SMPEarth. But since SMPEarth was being abandoned by its past citizens, Wilbur went in search of Tommy. Once he found that the village had burned down, he got word of the Dream SMP in hopes that Tommy would be there. And luckily, his hopes were true.
That's what Wilbur revealed to me on the walk anyways.
But back when we were in the village, Techno, Wilbur, and I were inseparable. In fact, Techno was the one who taught me how to fight.
I always saw Phil as a father figure, since I didn't have parents of my own. He often looked after me and took care of me, as if I was his own. His family was practically my family.
I smiled as I looked at Tommy and Wilbur. They both had a smile on their faces as they talked to each other. They looked so happy seeing each other again.
I couldn't help the smile that formed at my face when I looked at them.
I had the Dream Team and Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo. And I didn't even have to pick sides.
In this moment everything was perfect.
