Chapter Thirty Seven

"He named his party 'SCHLATT2020'?" I said in disgust. Tommy nodded grimly. Tubbo sighed. 

"Just proves that he has no taste." He said, shaking his head. I agreed. 

"Well, on the bright side, no one's going to vote for him if he has a shitty name." Karl said. 

The four of us were sat in my kitchen since Tubbo had gotten a cake recipe from Niki and wanted to try it out. Me and Tommy had already given up, even though we were only ten minutes in. There were huge patches of flour all over our clothes and faces since I got mad at him for hogging the icing sugar and so I threw a handful of flour at him and it all escalated from there, until Karl stepped in and stopped us. My whole kitchen was covered in a fine layer of white powder and I had no intention of cleaning it up. I knew that I had to bribe one of them to do it. 

"Honestly though, you heard how he talked about L'manburg. He thinks it's some kind of joke. Why does he want control of it?" I questioned. No one answered me but I was pretty sure that everyone knew the answer. Power. Control. To be feared. Any of the above was probably the right answer. 

"Is the cake done yet?" Tommy asked impatiently. Karl sighed. 

"It hasn't even been ten minutes. Are you always this impatient?" Karl said. 

"Yep." Tubbo answered.

"Pretty much." I said, at the same time as Tubbo. Tommy just groaned. 

"But I'm hungryyyyy" He whined. Tubbo shrugged. 

"Tough luck. You've gotta wait." He said, carefully putting the cake batter into the pre-heated oven. Unsurprisingly, Tubbo and Karl made the cake batter without any problems with me and Tommy out of the way. Tubbo took off the oven gloves that he was wearing and put them on the side. I stood up suddenly. 

"You know what? While the cake is still baking, me and Karl will go and visit Sapnap and you two - well, mostly Tubbo - will watch the cake, okay?" I suggested. Karl looked very happy about the idea and nodded enthusiastically. Tommy, however, looked unimpressed. 

"Why do you have to go?" Tommy frowned. I sighed. 

"Because Tommy," I said impatiently, "It's Karl's third day here. He doesn't know the way there by himself." I knew that this was a lie. I knew that Karl had walked down that route multiple times as he relived this timeline. But I had my own reasons for going, not that I had to tell Tommy. "Besides, I hate to say it Tommy, but I think Sapnap likes me a lot more than you." I smiled smugly, shrugging. Tommy rolled his eyes. 

I laughed and told Karl to meet me out front as I made my way into my room. I opened the drawer under the bed and pulled out the oversized green jacket that Dream had given me. As soon as Tommy saw us on the Prime Path yesterday, I had taken the jacket off, not wanting him to draw conclusions that wouldn't have been 100% incorrect. I then went and joined Karl at the front door. As we stepped outside into the bright sun, I called out to them over my shoulder. 

"I need the whole kitchen clean and tidy by the time we get back!" I gave a satisfied smile as I heard both Tommy and Tubbo groan at the near impossible task that I had just given them. Karl let out a small laugh too. We set off down the Prime Path, to Dream's house, talking and laughing on the way there. I asked Karl more questions about his time in the in-between and he told me all about it. The in-between is a world separating our one from the afterlife. A plane of existence, halfway between life and death. Except, with our bloodline being the only time travelers in the whole of the universe and Karl being the only one able to use his abilities, he was alone in the prison world. The in-between, as Karl described, was an exact replica of the world that we lived in, minus all the people. In the two years he spent there, he had visited all seven natural wonders of the world and even traveled to the North Pole, not once, but twice.
