Chapter 11: Two Surprises

When the five got back inside of L'Manburg, they were all silent. "Well." said Nessa, breaking the silence. "I guess we're in a war now." Wilbur nodded. "I guessed it would come to this. dream would never back down so easily. Which is why I've prepared a surprise! Wait here." He ran into his house, leaving the other four perplexed.

A few minutes later, he came back out, carrying a large box. "I figured," he said placing the box on the ground, "That if we're going to be revolutionaries, we may as well do it with some style." He opened the box, and everyone peered inside. Inside the box were a bunch of blue jackets and a bunch of black hats. Nessa pulled one of the jackets out. "Hey, these have everyone's names on them!" she said. "This one's Tubbo's."

Everyone found their jackets. Wilbur was smiling. "Surprise! I made us revolutionary uniforms. What do you think?" Nessa's only response was to tackle-hug her older brother. Everyone put on their jackets and hats. "We're a fucking army!" said Tommy, sounding excited. Eret nodded. "We are. We need someone in charge though. Otherwise, it will just be chaos."

Nessa smiled. "Eret, I swear, you're the only sensible in this goddamn group. I nominate Wilbur as the general! It was his idea to start this country in the first place." "I second that!" said Tubbo. Everyone looked to Wilbur. "Well, I guess I'm a general now!" he said. They all cheered.

Nessa raiser her arm up. "Raise a glass to freedom!" she called, quoting Hamilton, which they were all obsessed with. Tommy grinned. "Tomorrow there'll be more of us." With that, they all began to sing Story of Tonight.

Very, very off-key.

Once they had finished the song, Wilbur began to look a little bit uncomfortable. "Hey guys, uh, speaking of more of us..." he said. Nessa looked at him sharply. "Will, what did you do?" "Uh, well..." he said sheepishly. "I think I'll just show you." He ran into his house for the second time. Nessa was muttering to herself and shaking her head, and the other three were more than a little bit confused.

When Wilbur returned, to everyone's surprise, he had a small child with him. The boy looked about six. He had orange hair and two fox ears, which peeked out from under the hat he was wearing. He also had a fox's tail. "Wilbur. What is that?" said Nessa, who did not particularly like children. Wilbur smiled proudly. "This is my son, Fundy." Everyone's jaws dropped.

"I'm sorry, did you just say son?" said Eret. Wilbur nodded. "Uh, how exactly did you acquire a son?" asked Tubbo. "Well, do you guys remember when I inexplicably went away for a while a few months ago?" Looks of realization came to everyone's faces, and Wilbur nodded.

"Wait, who was the mother?" asked Tommy.

"She was a salmon." Wilbur answered smoothly.

"Wait, what?" Nessa said. "This is just getting weirder and weirder." Wilbur nodded again. "She was an accountant." he said wistfully. "You act as if that explains everything." said Nessa, making a confused face.

Eret cleared his throat. "Wilbur, with all due respect, we just received a declaration of war. We're in no time or place to raise a child." Wilbur looked at Eret sternly. "Well, it's what we're going to have to do. Besides, he can help us fight the war."

"He can't possibly be more than six! How can he fight in a shittin' war?" cried Nessa. "Oh, and by the way, how is he six? Six years ago, you were twelve." Wilbur shrugged. "It must be the salmon in him. They age quickly." "I have so many fucking questions." said Nessa.

Fundy yawned. "Well, you're going to have to ask them tomorrow." said Wilbur. "It's been a long day, and we should probably call it a night. Everyone's tired." Everybody nodded, and they all went back to their homes, Nessa still muttering to herself. "This is so fuckin' weird."

A/N: Greetings! I hope you've liked the story so far. I'm just warning you guys, production of this book might slow down. I just got a puppy, and it's taking up a LOT of my time, so I don't have as much time to write. I'll still try to get a chapter out every day, but if I go a little while without uploading, that's why.
