Returning to Business.

I woke up the next morning with a massive pounding headache. I don't remember falling asleep in my room, so Phil must've carried me up. I looked over at my watch. It's a Wednesday and it's seven in the morning. I don't have anything until after lunch. I sat up in bed and held my head. This is gonna be a rough day and I already know it.

I finally got the urge to get dressed. I changed into a white T-shirt and black jeans. I put a yellow beanie over my bed head and slipped my glasses onto my face. I heard two voices downstairs, one Tommy's and the others sounded familiar but I couldn't put a finger on it. Tommy had a quite aggressive tone and the other seemed nervous. I slowly crept down the stairs and peeked my head around the corner. As far as I could see, Tommy was talking to somebody shorter than him. I couldn't see the person clearly. I walked over to see who the other person was and the conversation stopped. They had both noticed me. I cleared my throat. "Hi." The figure Tommy was arguing with had hurt eyes and a droopy tail. "Hi Karl." "Hey Wil." I could tell something was wrong with Karl but couldn't quite put my finger on it. "What's wrong?" I sensed Tommy burning a hole in my back with his eyes. He was clearly upset because I wasn't paying much attention to him. "Oh uhm I'm fine." I studied Karl. "Mkay you can lie to your superior. You'll just have to do laps later." I turned and started walking towards the kitchen. "Wait fine!" I slowly turned my head towards Karl. "Something isn't right." "What isn't right Karl?" I saw Tommy's fist start to shake slightly. "Eret has been acting off lately." I hummed. "Alright. And why's Tommy so angry?" Tommy looked up at me and growled. Karl swallowed hard before talking again. "Uhm Eret kinda-" "HE'S NOT FUCKING ALLOWING US TO LEAVE!" I stared at Tommy. The fuck is wrong with him today. "What do you mean Tommy?" Tommy took a shaky breath in. "Wil. He's not letting us leave L'Manburg and not letting anybody in." "And how'd you figure this out?" "Dream wanted to enter this morning and the border was up." My eyes widened. The border? But that hasn't been up ever since Schlatt created terror to the land, before he vanished. I sighed. "Alright. I'll see what's wrong while I'm on shift." Tommy and Karl nodded in sync. Karl hugged me before leaving. I watched as he ran out the door and towards Sapnap's house. I turned to Tommy. "I'm going into town Tommy. Stay here." Tommy grumbled then walked up to his room. He doesn't have to do anything until tomorrow.

I sat outside the coffee shop tapping my coffee cup. I watched as people walked by. Nobody I knew walked by so I sat there in silence. I watched as somebody in green walked into the shop. I shrugged and went back to tapping on my coffee cup. I looked up at the sky for a good bit. The chair next to me screeched while being pulled out. I turned to see who was sitting down.

I made eye contact with the new guy who was now sitting with me. He had dark green hair, black jeans, a green polo shirt, and piercing green eyes. He didn't seem like a demon or he was just hiding his horns and tail. "You must be the red stone guy." The guy smiled. "More or less. I'm Sam." "Nice to meet you I'm-" "Wilbur. Yeah I know. You're pretty big talk around here." I nodded slightly. "So are you a demon or..?" Sam laughed slightly. "I'm way more dangerous than a demon." I hummed in response. Is his skin green on his neck? I shook my head slightly. Sam smirked. "Let's just say...I explode when I get angry. Bye for now!" He winked before getting up and leaving. I watched as he walked back to the palace. Fundy plopped down next to me in full shiny armor. "Seems you've met Sam." I nodded. "He's a little strange and cocky." Fundy nodded quickly, agreeing with me. "I mean, he's amazing with red stone and machines." "So, what creature do you think he is Fundy?" Fundy picked at his nails for a second before responding. "He's half creeper." "Huh?" Fundy sighed. "He's a creeper. He was turned into a human I think. But whenever he gets mad he makes things explode and if he gets too mad he'll explode, I think." I thought for a second. "How'd you figure that all out?" "You see Wil, he had green skin on his neck. So I went to the library and started looking through books. He also almost exploded a bit of the project he was working on because he got pissed. So I narrowed it down." I hummed slightly. "Well I suppose I need to go get ready." I waved bye to Fundy and teleported to my house.

I quickly put on my armor and teleported to the palace. I stood guard out front, like I normally did. I grabbed the paper from the other day and opened it again. I still have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Phil walks out of the palace and straight by me. "Phil?" He turned around with an angry glare but it quickly changed. "Oh hey sorry Wil." "You alright?" "Hm, yeah. We'll talk at home." Shit. I hope I didn't do something wrong.
