(Bad's PoV, still.)

I woke up with the sun in my eyes.

I got up as quickly as I can, while rubbing the sleepiness from my eyes.

I grabbed my glasses from the nightstand and placed them on my face.

Wait where am I? ...oh right, I thought as i hurriedly looked around before remembering the situation.

So we're stuck in a different dimension that is completely different from our own and we have been offered an opportunity to join this organization dedicated in keeping the peace by destroying monsters known as Neighbors, I thought.

Oh muffins.

"Nngh...five more minutes," I heard Skeppy grumbled.

I rolled my eyes playfully at this as I went to his bed.

I pulled the covers off his bed and he whined at this.

"Baaaaaaad! It's cold! I wanna sleep in more," Skeppy whined.

"Get up, you lazy muffin. It's time to wake up," I said, placing my hands on my hips.

"Noooooo!" Skeppy groaned.

"Ok then. I'm leaving you, goodbye Skeppy," I left the room.

One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi...Four M-

"BAAAAAAAD! DONT LEAVE ME!" Skeppy came running out of the room and cling onto me, wailing.

Wow he broke his own record. It usually take five seconds for him to realize what I said, I thought while patting his head.

"OI LOVEBIRDS! SHUT THE F*CK UP, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Tubbo shouted.

"Language!" I yelled at him.

"NO!" Tubbo shouted.

He came out of his room, hair more floof up than usual.

"I was trying to sleep in more. But you two had to ruin it didn't you?" He grumbled.

"Looks like someone is in a bad mood today," Puffy teased as she came up to us.

"Not you too," Tubbo groaned and left to go to the living room I guess?

It's where we all sat down to discuss the opportunity that was given to us.

I heard Skeppy's stomach growling.

"Are you hungry, Skeppy?" I asked.

"No," he stuck his tongue out before turning away.

"Well I think I'll go and make breakfast for us," Niki said as she came out of the room.

"Wait (get off me Skeppy), let me help you Niki," I said, while trying to get Skeppy off me.

"That'll be great. I'm not sure where to start. What's this?" She pulled out a bag and peeked in.

"They look like pancakes but...different," I noted.

"They better not have poison in them," Skeppy said and finally let go of me.

"I don't smell any cinnamon or anything foul. No they smell more like beans," Niki noted.

"Let's warm them up and taste them," I said.

Niki and I warmed the pancakes up and passed them to everyone else.

"Ok who is up to taste test this?" Tubbo asked.

"NOT IT!" Puffy, Skeppy, Tubbo and Niki shouted.

"You got to be kidding me," I grumbled.

I stared down at my pancake for a bit before taking a small bite.

...

...

"So?" Skeppy asked.

"Surprisingly sweet. There's beans in this and has this earthy taste but it's good," I explained.

I took another bite, this time much bigger.

"Yeah this is good," I concluded.

"Ok then...dig in," Puffy said.

Skeppy stared at his pancake, skeptically while everyone took small bites.

"I agree with Bad. This is good," Niki smiled.

Tubbo didn't say anything but continued eating.

"Aren't you going to eat it, Skeppy?" Puffy asked.

...

"Fine," he bit into it and chewed.

While everyone was eating and having seconds, Puffy cleared her throat to gain our attention.

"So now that we have settled in for a bit, we'll need to discuss yesterday," she began.

"Are we finally going to talk about the opportunity given to us?" Tubbo asked.

"Yes...so we were offered to join BORDER. However, she said something about taking a test to see if we're qualified," Puffy said.

"Qualified for what?" Skeppy asked.

"Maybe to fight those Neighbors. Whatever they are," Niki suggested.

"Wait you guys never saw it?" I asked.

"Saw what?" Puffy asked.

They all turned to look at me.

I told them what I saw.

"Holy sh*t! And they want us to fight that? I'm all up for going home and any methods but how skilled are we in fighting something that big?" Tubbo asked.

"Forget how skilled we are. Why the hell would we go and risk our lives in fighting something that big!?" Skeppy cried.

"Language, both of you," I muttered.

"Well now we know why we would take that test. Now we have to decide, should we or should we not?" Puffy asked.

"I vote no. It's too risky," Skeppy said.

"Hold on! Weren't you all for going to see what that green diamond did? You were willing to be risky then, why aren't you so willing now?" I asked.

"Because I know how Minecraft works. We don't die unless we're hit into Hardcore mode. But this! THIS! We have no idea what's in store for us. Call me reckless all you want but I'm certainly not stupid," Skeppy explained.

"What he is saying makes sense. I'm with Skeppy, I vote no," Niki agreed.

"But hold on! We want to go home. Maybe this is the best way of doing so, maybe joining BORDER isn't too bad. Besides, that kid that we saw is training to be in BORDER (I think). He is still in school. If he is planning on risking his life, then why (a bunch of adults and a seventeen year old) shouldn't we? I vote yes," Tubbo pointed out.

"I get that we should be careful but I also think that we should scout out any options that are handed to us. Maybe Tubbo has a point on this is the best way of getting home. I vote yes," Puffy explained.

It was two to two.

It all came down to one more vote. The tie-breaker.

Everyone turned to look at me.

I gulped and stared at my half eaten second pancake.

What should I vote for? It's very risky to join BORDER not just because we have to fight those large insect creatures but also, we could risk having our presence known. Our real presence. Maybe people from different dimensions is like Neighbors to them.

But I want to go home. We all do. We have family and friends that we accidentally left behind and we have no idea where to even start. Maybe BORDER is the answer to that. Besides only like three people actually know and it's not like they would tell the entire organization...I think. I'm not sure whether to trust them or not.

So what should I vote for....

I took a couple of deep breaths.

It all comes down to me.

I'm the tiebreaker.

"I...I vote...,"

I swallowed some of spit that was forming up in my mouth.

"Yes. I vote yes."

A/N: lol finally I'm writing in this. Closer and closer we are getting.

Like I said multiple times, I'm not a professional, I just have a lot of free time. But that doesn't mean I can't write like I know what I'm doing. That's a so-so situation.

Anyway! Hope you liked this chapter. They will join BORDER and I know what roles they will all have and who will gain Side-Effects. Two of out all of them will gain Side-Effects. Y'all can guess who!

Cya in the next one -Flare
