Never Meant to Be

P. 16

Tubbo

I've been sitting here for about an hour already.

My face was stained with tears that drip down occasionally. 

I should go back to L'manburg, this isn't what Tommy would've wanted. 

-

Usually the ghost form of someone takes place after a few days. I wasn't going to mourn for those days until Ghosmmy would come to life. Ghosmmy? I guess that's his name now.

I place a water bucket and let it flow down. My mind is pretty much blank at this point. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, yet I do. I know that I have to take care of L'manburg.

For Tommy.

I start to swim down the stream of water that I had created. I was starting to get close to the ground when I saw a familiar red and white shirt. I shut my eyes, wiping that vision from my mind. I didn't want to see his body, I didn't. It would hurt me so much more than I was already, and so I had to ignore my best friends corpse.

I walked with haste towards the boat, letting my hands row the boat slowly towards L'manburg. It had just crossed my mind that Dream was blowing up L'manburg, and that I needed to do something about it. L'manburg was my country, it wasn't free for Dream to take. And I needed to prove that to him in memory of Tommy. 

My mind kept conflicting itself with confusing thoughts. Sometimes I would want to stay in the middle of the ocean and mourn forever, but I also try to tell myself that it would be stupid to do that since a part of Tommy is coming back to life anyways. He won't be the same obviously, but it'll at least be a small part of him. And that's all I really needed to know.

As I look around, I see stacks of blocks floating in the ocean with deep holes in the ground. This must've been where we heard the TNT. 

I quickly speed up the boat to go back to L'manburg because I realized that I had been gone for way too long; I definitely needed a recap on what was going on. 

About an hour had passed when I finally arrived back at L'manburg. Nothing seems blown up, yet. I get out quickly and start to head to Ph1lza's house to hopefully find the gang.

Luckily enough, I see them inside. I quickly walk inside to greet them and Technoblade looks at me with a confused look on his face.

"Where were you?" he asked.

"I went to go look for Tommy," I responded blankly.

"Did you find him?" Fundy asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, where is he?" he asked again. 

Did I really have to talk about this right now?

"Dead," I still responded blankly. I couldn't show any emotion anymore, it was too hard to bury emotions after you let it all out.

A silence fills the room.

"Well, how did he die? Was he dead when you got there? Or.."

"He died because he jumped off the cobblestone platform that I had made for him because of Dream so can we please not mention his death again because I need to just think right now, I don't have time to mourn over someone who's going to come back in a few days anyways," I yell. At least I let out my anger.

They all look at me, worried for my sanity. Phil, however, understands. 

"Alright, well, while you were gone, we found out that Dream has loads of TNT that he's probably going to use on L'manburg. So, we're going to have to prepare for war again since I doubt that we want L'manburg exploded for the second time," Phil says. Thank you for changing the subject.

"Alright, well do we have a solid plan yet?" I ask.

We discuss our plan to take down Dream by surprise. He's most likely going to come from the direction of the community house since he doesn't really have a house anyways.

The plan sticks to us as we gather armor and potions for the upcoming war. It seemed like a daily thing, going to war. But this time, I knew I had to do it because I know that Tommy would've wanted us to have L'manburg, not Dream.

After a few days, we walk towards the community house. Today was probably the day to find Dream since we were all ready and didn't want to wait any longer. As we approached the community house, we saw someone wearing a green jacket step out of the shadows.

"Well, hello there. I see that you've found Quackity and Fundy," he says.

"Yeah, your such a bitch for putting us in that dark place in the first place," Quackity throws at him.

Dream chuckles a little bit and reaches for something in his pocket.

"Well, I heard that you know what I'm doing with these things." He pulls out stacks of TNT. "Can't have you guys stopping me now, can I?"

Dream takes a single piece out and lights it, throwing it at us. We all jump back in a reaction to the bomb as it destroys the bridge between us and Dream. He starts to walk towards us but hears a voice.

"Hi Dream, whatcha doing?" Ghostbur's voice says. I see him in the corner of my eye to the left of Dream.

"I'm kind of in the middle of something here," Dream replied. He looks at us, making sure we don't take advantage of the sudden break.

"Oh, sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I made a new friend! Pss! Spoiler alert! He's also a ghost!" Ghostbur whispered. 

Dream stops in his tracks. "Another ghost?"

"Yeah, another ghost! I didn't know another one existed but I found him in the woods today!" Ghostbur's excited voice exclaims. 

Dream slowly turns his head towards Ghostbur, seeing someone else besides him. It's Ghosmmy. 

"What a perfect time to show up," Fundy says.
