Chapter 3: The VR Set

~The next morning~

-Tommy's POV-

At first I heard a soft knocking, of course I ignored it thinking it was nothing. There was plenty of strange sounds in the new house so I was less than bothered by it. I mean until the door opened and I heard foot steps. I didn't want to get up yet, it was saturday and I wanted to sleep in...

"GET UP!" Somebody yelled as they sat on top of me. I could barely breath when I opened my eyes to see Tubbo smiling down at me. He's so obnoxious sometimes.

"I-i'm up... Now get off before I suffocate." I mumbled trying to shove him off. Tubbo might be small but he's still heavy enough to hurt me.

"Fineeeeee." He climbed off me but not after stealing my pillow, guess he really wants me awake. "You just better come down quickly, the 'game' is here." Tubbo mumbled as he simply walked out of my room.

WAIT, IT WAS HERE ALREADY?! SO EARLY? 

I jumped out of bed and changed into my iconic white and red shirt and some ripped washed out looking jeans. Racing down the hallway I had passed by Tubbo and then slowed down so I didn't fall down the stairs, becuase like, I'm not as dumb as Tubbo.

When I made it down the stairs I stopped and looked straight at the table in the dining room. Two unopened boxes were sitting side by side with the VR set pictures on the sides. They were here, this was actually going to happen.

"Are you really that excited to get into that game Tommy?" Tubbo chuckled as he walked up behind me. I wasn't excited was the thing. I was scared, scared of going into the game, scared od losing everything... And scared of telling my brother the truth about this game. No. Not game, this death trap.

"Tommy..." Tubbo walked infront of me, looking me straight in the eyes. I know he could see my fear. There was no hiding it.

"Yeah Tubbo?" But like always, I had to fake my feelings and be strong.

"Nevermind." 

"Uh, ok."

We both walked over and grabbed a box, carefully opening them. Inside was a VR set that looked like blak shiny goggles with a headband. A headband with wires that would connect to our brain, sending us straight to what was hell.

"Should we go ahead and try them on?" Tubbo asked.

"No... We need to talk first. Let's go outside really quick before we do anything." The moment I was dreading has come. There was no avoiding it now.

"Ok?" Tubbo said confused. We both walked out the back door side by side. This might be the last time we ever see real trees. Real grass. Real water... The real world.

"Can I tell you something. It's been eating me up..." I mumbled, half hoping he didn't hear me.

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything Tommy." That's what I knew I couldn't do. 

"It's just..." I took a deep breath. "This isn't what you think it is Tubbo. It's not a game anymore. Once we go in, there isn't any turning back. Not until we beat the game."

"Well, if we get stuck there oh well. It's not the end of the world right?" 

"No Tubbo. We get stuck there for ever. If we die, even once. Then game over. We die in real life too. We can't take any risks, no room for error Tubbo. I know I should have told you this before, I was just to scared of going in withojt you. Becuase i'm not changing my mind."

A long silence fell over us. It didn't seem tense though. I don't even know if it was good or bad.

"Well, if your sure about going in..." And there it was, that signature, optimistic, goofy smile that only Tubbo could wear to make anybody feel better. "Then i'm going with you."

-Tubbo's POV- 

I was horrified and crying on the inside. No way I would be able to do this. How could I have agreed to do this with Tommy!? This was a literal death wish... I felt like crying for real, but I couldn't let Tommy see. Now wasn't the time to be teased, I just promised Tommy I would join him and thats what I would do. No matter what.

After what seemed like forever, we went back inside and grabbed the VR sets again. We decided to go in Tommy's room to do it. To enter into what once was our favorite peaceful and fun game. That was now a lie, it was a nightmare, a game that would trap us in the virtual world until we some how beat it. This sounded possible, if it was the SMP then it should be fine. It's on normal mode and we all know the area well. The only problem was finding the end portal, but that didn't seem so hard with Dream and TechnoBlade (The two best minecraft players ever) on the server. It almost seems easy.

That still makes me think... It's been 5 years and they are all still in there.

 Why?

"Ready Tubbo?" Tommy smiled, pulling me away from my thoughts for a moment.

"As ready as i'll ever be Tommy..." I wasn't ready. Not at all

"Don't worry. The other player will be joining the game when we do. I'm curious who it is still."

"I am to Tommy, maybe it's callahan." 

"Maybe we can get a face reaveal out of him." Tommy chuckled. 

"Yeah. Maybe."That made me laugh. I then put the VR set over my head and laid down on the pillows Tommy had put on the ground for me.

"Ok Tubbo...Are you ready?" Tommy had adjusted his VR set over his head and laid down on the bed. It was time, time to try and beat what seemed impossible.

"Ready." I closed my eyes and thats when everything went black and I heard a voice in the distance.
