1st Person POV -
"Please remind me, what are we doing again?" I ask the young Brit in front of me.
"Nobody can have a bigger tower than me! That son of a bitch Ponk tried to out-tower me. What an asshole!" Tommy then spews out curses, making it quite hard to understand him.
I look up at the large tower in front of us. Tommy just walks in and begins climbing the tall ladder to the top.
"Should you really be trespassing?" I yell up to my friend.
"Ehhhh well!" Tommy responds.
I sigh. "I'm not going up there Tommy."
A loud sigh escapes the Brit as he continues to climb. I look around nervously.
"Tommy what are you doing on my tower?" I hear a new voice. Realizing that it was Ponk I panic. I decide to climb up the tower to defend Tommy.
"Correction Ponk my friend! It's my tower now!" Tommy yells down at Ponk. I grumble at Tommy. He always starts shit like this.
Suddenly a voice from behind us startles me. I jump and grab my sword, before realizing who it was.
"Hellooo!" Tubbo says, waving at me before turning to Tommy. I breathed a sigh of relief and put my sword away.
"Tubbo what the fuck are you doing here?" Tommy asks, eyes widened.
'More importantly when did he climb up here??' I thought to myself.
"Tommy get off my tower before I come up there myself!" Ponk yells.
Tommy looks frantically back and forth between Tubbo and Ponk.
"Tommyyyy? Psssst" Tubbo whispers very loudly. "I believe you have my gold. Can I have it back please?"
"Tommy I'm coming up." Ponk says, moving towards the entrance of the Tower.
"No no no no no no!" Tommy says in a panic. Tubbo stands there, staring blankly at Tommy.
I look around, looking for a way for us to escape. I spot a river nearby. I look at Tubbo with an awkward smile before turning to Tommy.
I quietly point out the river to Tommy, and he nods.
Ponk finishes climbing the ladder and stands up straight. Tommy suddenly pushes him, making Ponk stumble onto the floor.
Tommy laughs, grabbing a pickaxe that fell out of Ponk's satchel.
Taking the opportunity, I walk back in preparation for the dive off the tower. I inhale sharply as I dash forward and jump off the edge. I plummet down and land in the water safely.
I hear another splash, seeing Tommy has also landed into the river safely.
We both quickly scramble out of the river and run off towards the path.
"Why did you take his pickaxe?!" I ask him angrily.
"Leverage my good friend!" He says happily, a big grin spreading across his face.
I grumble and pick up the pace a bit.
Once we arrived at his house, a wave of relief washes over me. For now we were safe.
Tommy takes a second to catch his breath, then walks over to his small garden to harvest carrots.
I lean up against the wall and look around us, before spotting a familiar figure walking towards us in the distance.
"Wilbur!" I yell, a small smile forming on my face. He waves at me smiling as well.
Tommy looks up from his garden and also spots Wilbur. He runs up to him.
"I am in a bit of trouble!" He says, laughing awkwardly.
"What kind of trouble Tommy." Wilbur says, his smile gone from his face.
"Right yeah. So Ponk, this bastard, he made a tower bigger than mine! So I go to take it over as I always do, and then he comes and probably tries to hurt me. I actually don't know if he was trying to hurt me- uh." Tommy begins his rant.
"And Tubbo comes out of nowhere to ask for his gold that I apparently have! So me and Y/N jump off the tower and land in a river, and we start running away."
Tommy finishes and attempts to catch his breath. Wilbur just stares at Tommy, still trying to process what the younger Brit had said to him.
"So that was a massive waste of my time." Wilbur says, finally speaking.
I laugh, "More or less." Wilbur nods.
"Aw come on man!" Tommy says, pouting.
"Look Tommy I don't have time for your problems. I have been thinking recently and I have a plan." Wilbur says, his smile returning. He signals me forward and I walk up to them.
"Is there anywhere we all can talk?" Wilbur asks.
"We can talk in my "Power room" I guess?" Tommy says, shrugging.
He leads us into his house, descending down the ladder. Wilbur and I follow suit. We reach a room with dark brick walls, and a table in the middle.
Tommy walks over to a chair around the table and Wilbur and I do the same.
"So Wilbur? What's your plan?" I ask, leaning back in my chair a bit.
"So we're pretty broke, right?" Tommy and I nod slowly. "So what if we started selling stuff.
"That's it? That's your plan?" I ask him, now confused.
"That's a shit plan mate." Tommy says. I laugh a bit.
"Well let me finish." Wilbur says. "We're down here, because what I'll say next is a bit illegal."
"Illegal? Well I like the sound of that!" Tommy exclaims. I look at Wilbur, confused.
"What we're gonna sell- well... We're gonna sell drugs." Wilbur says bluntly. Tommy laughs and I sit in silence.
"We're gonna gonna sell... drugs." I repeat. Wilbur nods.
"Yep! I have a van and everything." He says, nodding. He grins.
"Wilbur, I have never been more happier to have you as my brother!" Tommy exclaims, laughing. "We're gonna do illegal shit!"
"I'm not sure-" I begin. Wilbur interrupts me.
"You've at least gotta come with us and check it out before making any decisions." Wilbur says, looking me in the eyes. I stare at him for a moment before sighing in defeat.
"Fine. Let's go see your drug van." I say, standing up. The others do the same.
We all climb up the ladder. "Lead the way Wilbur." I say, letting him pass in front of me. He nods and begins walking along the path. Tommy and I follow him.
Eventually we walk into a forest clearing before reaching a large van.
"Here it is!" Wilbur says, opening the door and walking inside.
I press the button and open the door, walking inside.
"Wilbur, it looks like a normal van." Tommy says, confused.
We were all cramped in the small room in the van. Wilbur laughs.
"This way guys." Wilbur opens a door and walks in. There were tables with a few brewing stands sitting on them. We all walk into the room, Tommy giggling as he looked around. I walk into a small room, where chests and a bed was stored.
"So?" Wilbur asks us, waiting for any responses.
"Nice? I suppose." I say, walking out of the small room.
"I'm in!" Tommy says without hesitation. I shake my head slightly.
"Y/N?" Wilbur says, and I look up at him.
"What." I say bluntly. Wilbur chuckles a bit.
"Do you want to help us?" He asks.
I stare at him for a moment and think. Eventually I sigh and roll my eyes.
"Fine. I'll help you guys." I say, my mouth moving into a small smile.
Wilbur and Tommy cheer a bit and I laugh at them.
'Man- What did I just agree to?'
