"Okay here's the rules. One tagger for each game, whoever they tag first will then be the tagger. You'll trade your weapon to them as well. Got it?"

You and the boys nodded.

All four of you separated from one another, with Tubbo being the first tagger. He started a countdown.

"5! 4! 3! 2! 1!-"

"SCATTER!!!"

Tommy shouted at the high heavens as Tubbo ran off towards him, you and Fundy deciding to pair up for now to get away. You both climb a few hills to get some distance, and reach a small hole in the grass to hide in.

Fundy peaked his head out, as you sat on the grass.

"Anything??"

"I see Tubbo chasing Tommy like a madman."

You giggled at this, and decided to peak alongside Fundy. You started to laugh harder, seeing Tubbo laugh maniacally as he wielded the iron axe. Tommy on the other hand, was both wheezing and screaming.

Fundy began laughing too, watching the two boys.

"They look like a shitty horror movie."

However, both of you dropped the laughter, seeing Tommy notice you both, and begin running to you both with a smirk. Fundy screams at this, and grabs your wrist, guiding you away.

"TOMMY YOU FUCKER!"

"HAHAHA, BITCH!"

Tommy ran, guiding Tubbo to the both of you, who looked like he was having the time of his life.

Fundy was frantically looking for a way to get Tubbo off your trail, and he had an idea. Letting go of your wrist, he turns to you.

"Go by yourself! Split up!"

You nod, and move east. Luckily for you, it seemed like Tommy wanted to try and get Fundy out first, so he followed him. Tubbo followed suit, so you felt a bit safe for now.

Hiding behind a tree, you slid down to sit on the grass, catching your breath. You took a moment to cool off, looking out at the distant L'manburg. Despite only being here for a couple days, you already took a liking to it. Maybe once you grow independent for yourself, you could come back here and live in L'manburg.

Not that you thought your old home was bad, heavens no! Your home was peaceful and quiet, soothing and relaxing. It was something that you needed in certain times, and it felt great to be around nature.

But, thinking about home made you fall into a state of debate. Worries filled your mind as you asked yourself.. Is this safe? Is your family safe? Is your town safe? Do they miss you? Do they know where you are?

You almost got so lost in your head you couldn't function properly, but what snapped you out of it was-

"GOTCHA!"

You were suddenly yoinked out from behind the tree, being held tightly by Tommy. He was wielding the axe, so he was the tagger. Upon this realisation, you huffed.

"Aw damn, I thought I had it!"

"Well not today, woman! Just you TRY and catch me, haha!"

Tommy soon runs off after putting you down and dropping the axe. You grab it, and chase after him with a sense of revenge.

You, Tubbo, Fundy and Tommy played for a couple of hours, so much so that you forgot all about time. However, when Fundy noticed the sun getting close to sundown, he called everyone over.

Fundy put away his axe since he was tagger, but once the three of you surrounded him, he smiled.

"Think that's enough for the time being?"

Tommy stretched out his arms as he spoke.

"Yeeeeeaaah I'm ready to practice death."

"Wait- What?"

"Practice death! You know, sleeping!"

You, Tubbo and Fundy all laughed at Tonmy's comment, making him laugh as well. You four all began walking back to L'manburg, chatting about random things.

However, when all of you reached where the van was, everyone stopped in shock.

There was fire, spreading around the area, but luckily not the van. Wilbur and Eret stood, looking out at the fire. All four of you rushed to them, Tommy calling out to them.

"WILBUR?! ERET?! WHAT HAPPENED?!"

Eret and Wilbur turned to all of you, and Wilbur gained a look of relief.

"Oh thank god you're all okay."

"Wilbur, what happened??"

Wilbur looked away for a moment, then signed.

"Dream responded to the declaration."

"What did he say, Wilbur?"

...

"He declared war."

"What is there to feel bad about?"

Tubbo looks off to the side, in shame.

"Well.. we all just feel bad that you got dragged into this, (Y/N), you know?"

"Tubbo, don't worry about that. I'm here because I want to help you, and help L'manburg. If anything, I feel bad that all of this is even happening."
