My Family (Sally The Salmon)

♠ Chapter 19 ♠

(Sally's POV)

"Wil, where's the button?" Tommy asked Wilbur.

"I'm not telling you where the button is."

"But we're in this together!"

Wilbur sighed. "Fine. It's over that hill. Right there. Happy?" He said.

Then a voice came from the microphone. "Hello everybody, and welcome to the Manberg Red Festival! I've invited all the citizens and some friends. I just wanna throw a party, y'know me, I'm a partier. And I really just want to get this one started. So, thanks to you all for being here. We can all just have fun for a while before my buddy Tubbo here gives his speech."

Wilbur sighs "I-I think I'm getting second thoughts. This is my country I- I don't know if- should I?" He stutters. "Don't!" Tommy yelled "Don't Wil! You shouldn't! We can take it back! You don't have to do anything!" He kept yelling.

"But what if this is my only chance? I have to do it now!" He starts to light a cigarette and I slap it out of his hand "No." I say. "What do you think, Sally? Should he blow it up?" Tommy asks me. "Why am I always the final say?" I ask. "Because you're always right. Now please answer the question!"

"Fine. Wilby, you decide if you do it or not, but me? Well, for freedom's sake I think you should do it." Tommy's eyes widened "Sally! No! You need to stop hanging out with Technoblade!" He yelled. "Schlatt needs a consequence for his actions, Tommy. And I am done with countries and kingdoms. Why can't we just live with no supreme authority figures?"

I sigh. "Schlatt is a tyrant, Tommy. And this country is already too far gone." Tommy shook his head "It is not!" He yelled.

"What about Tubbo? What does he think?" I asked. "Tubbo! We could always do what Tubbo thinks." Tommy suggested. I look at Wibur, he sighs,  takes out his phone and messages Tubbo.

Later, Tubbo's on the NASA tower and says "Hey guys!" And he waves at us. "Tubbo, I'm having second thoughts about blowing it all up and these two aren't helping." Wilbur tells him. "Oh.." He muttered.

"When are you having your speech?" Wilbur asks him. "Pretty soon." He responded. "Tubbo is-" Wilbur cut himself off before continuing "Is he a good leader?" He asked. "Schlatt?"

"Tell me honestly. Don't sugarcoat it. Just tell me. Friend to friend. Is he a good leader?" Tubbo nervously scratched the back of his neck. "Well, he's made alot of positive improvements but he has some strange ideals." He replied.

"Is that good enough to kill? Is that assassination worthy?" Wilbur asked himself. "Tubbo are you happier?" Tommy asked his best friend. "Oh, definately not compared to when you guys were in charge." He replied.

Wilbur turned to Tubbo again "What are the chances that Schlatt will give up?" He asks. "I'm pretty sure that he'll stop at nothing."

"If L'manberg was gone, d'you think he'll just keep going?"

"He's gone to rock bottom and he's come back. So, he'd probably just build it back up again. He isn't a quitter."

Tommy put a hand on his adopted brother's shoulder. Then I stepped in front of Tubbo "Tubs, do you think we should blow it up?" I asked the brunette boy. "Well, not really. But you have to do what you have to do, right?" He answered.

"You told me you think we should blow up Manberg." Wilbur reminded Tubbo. "Well, Wilbur, I trust your better judgement." He explained nervously. Wilbur sneered "You're just a yes man aren't you?" My eyes widen at my husband

"Wilbur!"

"He's not just a yes man!" Tommy yelled.

"This isn't the first time he's done this! Whatever I propose he just goes 'Yeah sure sounds good' No matter what." Wilbur explained. Tubbo looked sad so I hugged him.

"If you say not blowing it up is a good idea he'll say 'Yeah'. If you say blowing it up is a good idea he'll say 'Yeah'."

"TUBBO! Think for yourself! What do you think!?" Wilbur yelled. I slowly let go of the boy and he stutters "W-well I d-don't think you should blow it up. I-I think there a-are other approaches." Tommy looked releived "Exactly! Thank you, Tubbo. Wilbur, he's right." Tommy said.

Wilbur looked back at the podium. "They're coming back. Tubbo is this your-?" Wilbur asked Tubbo. "Yeah, I should go now. Good luck." But before Tubbo could leave, Tommy stopped him "Tubbo... Be safe." And they hug. Tubbo nods and leaves.

Right after Tubbo leaves, Tommy yells at Wilbur "You can't just insult him like that!" I sigh and nod in agreement. "I'd hate to agree with Tommy, but here I am. You know Tubbo is just a child!" I yell.

Wilbur sighed "Look, I'll message him." Then he takes out his phone and messages the bee boy. Then he finally puts his phone back in his pocket. "What did you say to him?" I asked Wil.

"I've put it into his hands. I told him that if he says the detonation line I'll blow it all up."

My eyes widen. "Wilbur! He's just a child!" I yell. "You know that he's just gonna do what you want!" Tommy shouts at him. We've been yelling at eachother for a while that it's a miracle that no one's heard us yet.

"If he's not a yes man, surely, he'll risk that in order to save the nation and his friends. Look, he's doing his speech."

Wilbur sighed then a smile formed on his face. "This is where it all happens. For L'manberg." Then he sighed and his smile disappeared. "I miss Dadza. I wonder if he'd be proud of me." I put a hand on his shoulder "He'll definately be proud that you founded a nation and faught in multiple wars to gain independence." I told him.

"And what about this blowing up thing?" He asked. "Well, you know how Phil is. Techno probably got his bloodthirst from Mumza."

"You do remember that Techno's adopted right?"

"I stand by what I said."

Wilbur kinda laughed and I did to. His laugh was too contagious for me.
