"Yes! Finally!" Schlatt yelled out happily, but Tubbo sat silent, his eyes widened. "Don't look so freaked out." 

"How can I not!? You're a ghost. Of the person everyone else, HATED! They made a plan to kill you!" 

"Well lucky for them, they can't see me"

"But I see you! How could they not?" 

"I don't know maybe it's some 'you have to believe in it to see it' type shit."

"That's not how the world works!" 

"I didn't think the world had ghosts and look at me now, I am one, shit changes kid." Schlatt started looking around Tubbo's little area, Tubbo just sighed, questioning if he genuinely was the only one who could see Schlatt. Tubbo looked down to think, "What if they can see you now? If I can maybe they can." "We can try." Tubbo shook his head in agreement, "Okay, okay yeah, let's find someone and try speaking to them." As Schlatt and Tubbo walked to the door of the house, Schlatt stopped for a second, "Why'd you stop?" "If they can't see me, don't make them aware of me, they could think you're.. the issue." Tubbo thought about what Schlatt was insinuating. 

"They wouldn't try and kill me even if you did possess me and they knew." 

"If you started acting like me, what do you think would happen Tubbo? They didn't like me, they wouldn't like you. And you're the president now, and they can't see me, so if you start saying 'I can hear Schlatt, and see him' they're going to think you're an issue."

"But they might see you now! I can, so why won't they be able to? Please just start walking!" Schlatt sighed and started walking, but upon exiting the house, after a few steps, he stopped, but this time, it wasn't on purpose. "Stop hesitating! Keep walking!" Tubbo yelled at him, "Tubbo, it's not my fault! I can't.. get past something!" Schlatt pushed against what felt like an invisible wall, Tubbo walked back to where Schlatt was and he could walk perfectly through it, but Schlatt couldn't. There was some sort of force keeping him by the house, and every time he tried pushing through this sort of wall, he felt pain, though he was dead. He stopped pushing, for the pain grew larger. An image lingered in Schlatt's mind, and it only came through when he pushed against the invisible wall. "Tubbo, go get the bee charm."

 "I'm not a dog!"

"Tubbo I said go get the bee charm." Tubbo, though hating being told what to do by a dead person, went and got it. When Tubbo came back, he stood next to Schlatt, Schlatt stood up again and after taking a deep breath, took a step forward, and perfectly stepped through where the wall used to be. "Why does it work now?" Tubbo questioned. 

"I'm.. not sure, but I can put out my thought as to why." 

"Go ahead." 

"The first item I possessed was that damn charm, and when the wall was there, as I pressed against it, the bee charm kept coming into my head, I might have to be around that thing to move far distances."

"So whoever has the bee charm is who you have to be with?"

"I... think so."

"I'll have to keep good hold of it so it doesn't get in the wrong hands then." Tubbo nervously chuckled. Tubbo and Schlatt kept on walking, and finally they ran into someone, Fundy. "Hey Fundy!" Tubbo spoke, "Oh Tubbo! How are you feeling? is it weird being president now?" As Tubbo and Fundy spoke, Schlatt stood next to Tubbo, Tubbo looked beside him a couple times during his and Fundy's conversation, and it was enough to make Fundy question him, "Tubbo what are you looking at?" "Nothing, I was thinking about something." "Thinking about what?" "Presidency things, haven't been president for long but it's already making me think more I guess!" Tubbo chuckled. Fundy looked at his weird but ended up letting it slide, Tubbo and Fundy spoke a little longer and then Fundy ended up leaving.

"Told you he wouldn't see me, none of them will."

"I was trying to be optimistic about it."

"I'll drain any optimism out of you, so get used to it." Tubbo rolled his eyes. They started walked back to Tubbo's house. A few times Schlatt lagged behind, and the wall hit him, and forced him forward. "If I fucking possess that damn charm do I get to stop walking? Cause I'm sick of getting hit in the fucking ass and being pushed forward in pain." "You can try possessing it and seeing if it works." "Screw it." Schlatt fixated on the charm that Tubbo held out in his hand for Schlatt to see, and then Schlatt faded into the charm and this time, Tubbo could hear him from the charm, "WALK BITCH LET'S TEST THIS!" "Don't tell me what to do, I could leave you here and you couldn't move until someone moves you" "You wouldn't leave me." Tubbo rolled his eyes and started walking, to which he could hear a happy yell from Schlatt "NO MORE WALKING WOOHOO!" Tubbo gave a little smile, and finished the walk back to the house.

Upon getting back to the house, Schlatt got out of the bee charm and he and Tubbo talked. At one point someone came to Tubbo concerning, where, when and how they were going to approach Schlatt's funeral. As Tubbo chatted with the person Schlatt stood back listening to the conversation, his face contorting every time they had to mention Schlatt was dead, he didn't feel dead, he was in the same place he normally was, and with the same people, the only thing was no one could see him, nor hear him, and he couldn't go anywhere without somewhere carrying a charm. After Tubbo got a break of planning a funeral for someone he was talking to. "God I hate this." Tubbo spoke as he sat down to relax. "I hate this too, and if anything it's harder for me, my only hope for interaction is a dumbass of a ghost with terrible memory or... you."

"I don't want to be one of the only ones you can see, it puts my life in jeopardy." 

"I would've liked if I went into a black void for eternity rather than not have anyone to talk with but I guess I'm unlucky." 

"But at least you're dead, you don't have to worry about death because of being a terrible ruler, with you calling from over my shoulder every second I'm screwed, I'll think like you, talk like you, act like you, and we'll never find a place of peace with having to carry you around everyday!" 

"I'm not that bad!" 

"Schlatt, you ruined a country, to a point where everyone who once looked up to you left you, you scared Quackity away, they all left you! Not one person stayed!"

"Shut up! I was doing no wrong! I was doing what I felt was best." 

"Drinking everyday, forcing the flag, name, walls, and some of the people to change and leave? You think that was best?"

"Fuck yeah. I feel no regret to my decisions." 

"You're impossible to understand, screw this." Out of anger, Tubbo decided to leave his house for a bit, leaving the bee charm behind, so Schlatt couldn't follow. As Schlatt sat in the house, the silence withered away at him. He sat and questioned if he had been so bad at being the president, and as the silence took all of his sanity, he started to genuinely realize, he was as bad as everyone made him out to be.
