A Second Chance

Chapter 4: Special Event! [Edited 2.0]

"Ah....Tubbo, come in please" Schlatt sat at his desk and looked hesitant.

Not because of Tubbo, who was as scary as a bug, but because Alia was asleep in his room that was right next to his office room. Tubbo had no idea about Alia and he hoped and prayed to keep it that way.

"You asked to see me Mr. President?" The younger boy was highly nervous, as he should be.

The taller man lets out a laugh and smiles "no need to be scared Tubbo, we're friends aren't we?" His words seemed like threats as he looked Tubbo in the eyes.

"Y-yeah! Friends..." Tubbo spoke while sitting down in front of the desk.

"Anyways I asked you here so I could talk to you about something I've been planning for awhile, I wanted your input"

The boy was now alert to his words and was now listening carefully. "I believe we should have a celebration. To celebrate me becoming President and the fact that I've made Manberg far better than what it once was."

"So like a festival?" Tubbo's head tilted to the side win confusion.

"Exactly! I want you to plan it okay? You and Fundy can decorate it all up, I don't care. Just make sure everyone knows about it and send out invitations. I'll have Quackity give you the list of those invited"

The boy was now excited, "we can have speeches!"

Oh if only this kid knew what Schlatt was really planning.

"Sure...sure. Now get out." His voice dropped from its high pitch and turned cold and low. The teen quickly gets up and rushes out of the room and out of the house.

Schlatt sighs and gets out of his chair and out of the office room. He walks down the short hallway until he reaches his room and walks in.

Alia is still asleep but not in her bed, on her own.

Because of his house only being so big, she would have to share a room with him until he got an extra room built on...but that could raise suspicions as to what that room would be.

He only wanted Alia kept secret so that no harm could come to her....was that the right choice? It seems like it...hopefully it stays like that.

She was lightly snoring while hugging her pig plushie. The light purple blanket covers her body to keep her warm. She looked so peaceful and happy.

He envied her innocence, her happiness, everything pure about her. He wished he'd done things differently, wished he was a bit kinder and a bit smarter with his actions.

The child began to stir and he quickly left the room and towards the kitchen. When she wakes up she'll probably be hungry.

Schlatt looked at the book next to him that involved kid recipes that didn't seem that hard to make. After a while he decided on Mac and cheese along with some chicken nuggets.

He began making said food, this only taking roughly an hour at most because he messed up with the chicken nuggets and had to start all over.

Schlatt made Alia's plate and sat it on the table to cool down as he made his way back to his room to wake her up.

When he opens the door he finds her already awake and playing with her new toys on his bed. She was acting as if they were fighting and she giggled as she made one of the dolls hit the other.

"Alia, are you hungry?" The little girl looked up at her father and stared at him for a while before nodding.

"Well then put your toys away and come into the kitchen" he watched as she climbed off his bed and quickly placed her toys back into the box they were brought in and grabbed his hand.

Schlatt smiled down at his daughter as they walked to the kitchen. He picks her up and sits her in the chair and then walks over to the fridge.

"What do you want to drink kiddo? We got water, milk, and apple juice"

"Abbel moose-" she spoke with her mouth full of food.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, you might choke" he brought her a tiny cup of apple juice before going and fixing his own plate. He's having a bit of salad with it all.

After they finished eating he made sure to wipe her face, because she got cheese all over herself somehow, and then helped her wash her hands.

Alia smiled and hugged Schlatt's leg before taking off to his room to play with her toys once more.

She seemed to grow extra comfortable with his house and his presence, which was good.

While Schlatt began doing dishes his mind wandered to the festival.

Who's going to watch Alia? He doesn't want her to see what's going to happen there, plus he doesn't want anyone to know of her- so how is this going to work?

The traitor needed to be handled. But his daughter needed to also stay out of harm's way...

Fuck it, he's the President. People fear him, plus he'd never let Alia out of his sight during the festival.

Maybe right before the execution happens he can have Quackity take Alia to the house. Yes, that would work perfectly.

She'll have fun at the festival too, with all the rides and games. It will be great.
