Introducing your new home

Tommy and Tubbo entered the van, not the best for living but it's comfortable?

"Not the best place?" Tommy and Tubbo looked in front of them to see Wilbur leaning on a table, looking at them amused.

"No! It's very...welcoming?" Tubbo responded trying to lighten the mood. Wilbur smiled at his affection and shook his head.

"It's alright, really. Besides reading people's aura or emotions. You really can't lie to me." It seemed like a threat but with his small smirk at the end he was just playing with them.

"..well that's...nice." Tommy spoke to him, kind of doubting his ability.

"Don't doubt it. Though since I can't read minds, emotions give me a start on what you might be thinking about. Simple really." Wilbur explained to the two, with Fundy nodding alongside him.

"Ok! What about Fundy?" Tubbo asked looking at the fox man. Fundy scratched his neck nervously.

"Fox hybrid."

Tubbos eyes glinted with
excitement. "How?! How were you made?!"

Tommy bursted out laughing on how...inappropriate or weird the question was. Wilbur also laughed, the both of them cracked up while Tubbo waited patiently for answers and looking at Fundy innocently, dead in the eye.

"I...I..ummm...ehhh..." Fundy couldn't talk due to how embarrassing it would be. He looked at Wilbur, begging for answers.
Until Wilbur gave a mischievous smirk at Fundy. He widened his eyes and shook his head at him, almost as if he doesn't want him to say something.

Tommy was still laughing though he calmed down a bit noticing the fox and the man communicate with one another.

"Don't. Tell. That. F***ing. Story."

"What story?" Tubbo inquired. Fundy wanted to just die at the moment when Wilbur offered him a warm smile.

"See. I'm actually his father." Tubbo gave a surprised gasp while Tommy gave a look of disgust.

"And his mother is a Salmon." Tommy laughed again, he couldn't breathe but somehow Tubbo took this seriously though Wilbur could see and sense that he's trying very hard not to laugh.

"His mother now works as a bank accountant. Taking care of all the money in the kingdom." Wilbur wiped away a "tear" and nodded at Tubbo. "That's how we got this one."

"Alright enough stories-"

"Oooh! Then how did you insert your-"

"TUBBO NO-" Fundy cutted him off, his face red and blushing though he was laughing. Tommy was dying on the ground of laughter with Wilbur.

"What? I just wanted to know how he well...did..it..?" Tommy couldn't breathe. He didn't know if Tubbo is either telling the truth or not.

"...I'm outta here." Fundy shakily walked out of the van while Tommy and Wilbur died of laughter.

"I just wanted to know-?"

"SHUT UP TUBBO YOU DID YOUR DAMAGE-" Tommy wheezed at the end as if he were a dying kettle.

The three then all laughed at the end of the day, Fundy joined soon after and their bond grew a lot stronger than before.

     
                                        ~~~

It's actually been a few days since Tommy and Tubbo have been in L'manburg. Though like Wilbur said, never go out of the wall.

Tubbo and Tommy never minded it though, they were happy living in L'manburg actually!

"You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round right round! You-" Tommy died of laughter again, the bond of Tommy and Tubbo have also gotten stronger from the past few days.

"Tubbo! That song is about ***!" Tubbo widened his eyes and dropped the oars and looked at Tommy. "No."

"Yes it is Tubbo!" He smiled at his friend who was in pure disbelief.

"No it's about boats. It's about boats." Tubbo continued to sing the song while Tommy continued to laugh.

Though their fun ended when Wilbur ran up to the boys. "Follow me." Thinking that it was urgent, they both followed Wilbur into the van.

"Do I look good?" Wilbur asked the two, they both shared confused glances.

"Yeah Wilbur! You're always looking great!" Tubbo responded breaking the silence.

"Yeah Big Man! Always hitting up the ladies!" Tommy winked at Wilbur, pointing finger guns at him. Wilbur rolled his eyes and took out a small mirror he kept in his pocket. No one knows why he keeps it to be honest.

Wilbur messed with his hair a bit, brushed away any specks of dust he could see on his suit and nodded at the two. "Thanks guys."

"Wait who are you meeting!?"

"...You'll see later." Wilbur then ran out of the van leaving Tommy and Tubbo very confused. "A date?"

"Definitely. Women these days."

"Well I hope Wilbur does a good job!"

 
                                       ~~~

Tommy and Tubbo continued talking about random things, people, Syldavia, different abilities and lots more. Oh and women, the topic was brought up by Tommy.

They were sitting on top of the wall, just enjoying the sky and the sun about to set.

That was until the both of them heard their names been called. When they looked down, they saw Wilbur waving his hands at them.

Tommy went down the ladder, Tubbo followed, interested in what Wilbur has to say.

When they got down, they saw someone behind Wilbur. A surprise maybe?

"Guys." Wilbur looked at the people in front of them. Fundy, Tommy and Tubbo.

"I would like yous to welcome our new member to L'manburg....Niki!" She jumped from behind Wilbur. Wearing a similar outfit to what he is wearing. She smiled at them all.

"Niki!!" Tubbo ran to her, hugging her happily. Tommy then ran up soon after joining in on the hug. "We missed you!" Tubbo looked at her, she smiled and continued to hug the both of them.

Fundy soon joined the hug, a bit awkward since he didn't know her but he was happy and comfortable after a few seconds. Then Wilbur joined, a group hug!

Tommy felt at ease in the hug, he loves hugs actually though he thinks it's weak to hug, but this is an exception.

"Welcome to the family Niki.." Tommy whispered though loud enough for Wilbur and Niki to hear. "I'm glad." She responded calmly continuing to hug.

They stayed in this long embrace for a long time, as if they were family. They really were.

Tommy felt as if he were at home, in a good way of course.

A few weeks had past, and Tommy and Tubbo never wanted to leave their new home.

Wilbur warned them about the other side, the war they're currently having. Tommy wanted to join, to fight for his home but Wilbur didn't want him to get hurt.

Weird.

Wilbur always lets Tommy explore, and do dumb stuff and lets him fight and search for resources, so why let him not join in on the war?

~~~

"You're going to ask again?" Tubbo and Tommy are currently walking to the van.

"I mean yeah! If he's in on the war, then I should be in it to!" Tommy was at the step of the van about to enter until Tubbo tugged his sleeve.

"Tommy this is like the fifteenth time this week you're asking him! It's nice enough that he's not getting annoyed by you!" Tommy pouted at Tubbo.

"I am not annoying! I just want to fight for our nation! He's acting way too over protective and we aren't even children Tubbo! I am his right hand man and I can't even join and help at all apart from collecting resources!" Tommy finished his rant and that he entered the van, slamming the door on Tubbo.

When he turn around, he saw Wilbur! Perfect timing!

"Wilbur I-"

"You know the answer Tommy." Wilbur strode past him, leaving the van. Not wanting to give up he followed Wilbur, walking beside him. Tubbo was no where to be seen.

"But why? You know I'm good Wil! I could be useful! I can-"

"Tommy I just don't want you to get hurt."

"That's what you always say! But in a war you have to get a few scars here and there! Besides! I think I have a strategy that might work and-"

"Tommy."

Wilbur stopped walking and his voice was lower and more serious than before. Tommy gulped at the tension.

"I just...I...I can't really...no I just..can't lose another one.."

"Lose what?!"

Wilbur ignored his calls and cries as he walked away to a forest. Tommy sighed and walked the opposite direction from Wilbur.

"Lose?! What does he mean by that?!"

~~~

Tommy found Tubbo near the lake, watching fish swim by. He walked to him and sat down beside him.

"Sorry Tubbo for slamming the door on you..." Tubbo seemed surprised by his apology.

"You alright?" Tubbo asked Tommy, not sure if he banged his head or something. Tommy seemed offended.

"I was trying to apologise to you!" Tommy protested at him though laughing a bit. Tubbo realised this and laughed also, apologising to Tommy.

They had an argument on why Tubbo shouldn't say sorry so much-"

During this, they saw Fundy walking up to them. "Hey guys!"

"Ello Fundy."

"Hey Fundy!"

"Right so we've been called for something outside the walls. All of us, seems like they want to make an alliance or something."

"Wait we're going to see who we're up against?!!" Tommy jumped up, scaring Tubbo a little.

"Yeah. Though I'm not saying. I asked Wilbur why but he said we'll see. Now come on! We're going now actually." Fundy offered a hand to Tubbo who accepted it gratefully.

"Well let's get a move on shall we?!!" Tommy ran ahead with Fundy and Tubbo following behind.

Though soon enough he saw Spark run beside him and Tubbo riding Misty with Fundy. They flew past them, laughing. "Oh it's on."

Tommy arrived where Fundy, Tubbo, Niki and Wilbur were waiting, Tommy out of breath and exhausted.

"Right now that we're all here. Stay cautious alright? If they planned an ambush, we'll hit them back." Wilbur explained to the group with all of them agreeing.

Tommy took out his swords he brought with him, Fundy had small daggers, multiple actually while Wilbur had a Bow and some arrows. Niki and Tubbo had no weapon. This confused Tommy ever so slightly.

"Niki, Tubbo, do you have something to fight with..?" Niki chuckled and nodded. Tubbo pointed to Misty proudly and some nearby birds.

"While Tubbo can talk to animals, I can manipulate Earth and Nature itself." She smiled at Tommy. He nodded at the unique ability she had.

"Right...we're going in now, stay behind me." Wilbur walked towards the door, Bow and arrow ready to shoot, Niki followed him and everyone else did.

When they all arrived inside, there were 3 people standing near a huge table.

One had a white bandana and a white shirt, imprinted in it was a fire symbol. He had black jeans and black boots. His hair was bouncy and deep black. His eyes were a deep colour as well, scary..

Another wore black and white, circular glasses on his head. He wore a blue shirt and brown pants this time with brown boots. His brown hair looked fluffy or something and had brown, hazel eyes. He held a swords by his side.

The one standing in the middle of the two wore a creepy, white smiling mask. He wore a green hoodie and black jeans as well as boots. Tommy couldn't see his hair colour nor expression which scared him just a bit.

"I see you finally arrived." The voice spoke, probably the one with the mask since the others mouths didn't move.

"Why so tense?!" The one with the bandana joked, smiling at them. His voice was a little deep but playful. They lowered their guard slightly.

"They probably don't trust us, sorry but this is serious. More serious then the war actually." The one with the blue shirt said, his voice sounded British.

The one with the bandana tilted his head to the side, as if he were peeking to see who was there.

"Ooo new recruits?" He asked looking at Tommy and Tubbo. Tubbo hid behind Tommy who blocked him from view.

"Yeah...they're only children so if you lay a finger on them you have to talk to me first." Wilbur growled at them, glaring at the three. Niki nodded, standing beside Wilbur, as if trying to protect Tommy and Tubbo.

"Fair, mind telling their names?" The blue shirt asked Wilbur, a little suspicious.

"Tommy." Tommy spoke, walking beside Wilbur bravely. Wilbur sighed and nodded saying he was correct.

Niki stepped aside and took Tubbo by the hand, guiding him to the front. She whispered something that seemed to encourage Tubbo to talk.

"Tubbo."
He smiled.

"And I'm Niki." She stated looking at three in front of them coldly. Seems like she knows them a bit.

"Guess like we should introduce ourselves to the new ones, The names George." The blue shirt said smiling softly and then.

"I'm Sapnap!" He jumped a little, waving his hand at them.

"I'm Dream."
