Why Me? {Magical Boys Benchtrio}

You spin me right round baby right round

"There we go." Schlatt stood up, tossing an empty vial into a bush, "he should wake up soon."

Tommy nodded, sitting next to his friend. Schlatt had made the potion pretty quickly after they found what they needed. But the thing Tommy was most shocked about was the fact that this man claimed to be Tubbo's father.

"So, um," Ranboo started, sitting by their fire, "you-you're Tubbo's dad?"

Tommy scoffed, "I bet it's bullshit. I've known Toby our whole lives! Only a fuckin monster would abandon him."

Schlatt sighed, "I'll explain everything when- wait did you call him Toby? His name's Tubbo!"

"Tubbo's just his nickname." Tommy rolled his eyes, "his mum, Puffy, the one who took him in! Named him Toby."

Schlatts face went red, "Puffy!? I told her his name is Tubbo! Agh! She said that Tubbo wasn't an ordinary name in this world, but making him believe his name was Toby!? Where is she!? I'm going to have a talk with her!"

"You know Puffy?" Ranboo asked, looking up at the man.

"Uh? Yeah? Same hor-" Schlatt paused, patting his head, "where the hell are my horns."

Tommy laughed behind his hand, "they disappeared when the rift closed."

"What!?" Schlatt yelled.

Ranboo sighed, "you'll get used to it. Phantom tail is weird though..."

Schlatt shook his head, "it doesn't matter. I need to talk to Puffy."

"Uh, actually we need to find the axe..." Ranboo told him.

Schlatt froze, "you lost... The Axe of Peace!?"

Ranboo flinched back, "uh, w-well-"

"You can't lose something you never had." Tommy spat, "Ranboo was sent to search for the weapons, but we've only found the fuckin sword so far."

"My sword." Schlatt said, "and as soon as Tubbo wakes up, I'm taking it back. And then you and him are going back home so Ranboo and I can continue finding the weapons."

"What!?" Tommy jumped up, "no way! Tubbo and I agreed to see this to the end!"

"You two are kids!" Schlatt shot back, "We sent y- I sent Tubbo here to keep him away from the fucking war!"

"So what about Ranboo!?" Tommy yelled, "he's a fucking kid too! If Tubbo was sent here to be saved from the war, why wasn't Ranboo!? Why is Ranboo your fucking secret weapon or some shit!?"

Ranboo stood up, "Tommy, you don't have to defend me-"

"What's all the yelling for?"

The three turned to see Tubbo slowly sitting up. The boy rubbed his eyes, leaning up against a tree. He looked slightly disoriented.

"Toby!" Tommy gasped, jumping towards his friend.

Tubbo winced, "whatever I did, I'm probably sorry."

Tommy laughed, hugging Tubbo tightly, "Tubbo you almost died!"

"Oh." Tubbo slowly smiled, "cool."

Ranboo sighed, "Tubbo, that's not a cool thing."

Schlatt watched the boys with a small smile. It was the right decision to send them here, away from the war. And maybe they should have sent Ranboo too, but Phil said he needed him in his world.

"So, um, who's this guy?" Tubbo asked cautiously.

Schlatt sat down by the fire,"I guess I owe you kids an explanation now."

The boys sat down, waiting expectantly. Schlatt looked at his son. He'd grown up so much since he last saw him.

Schlatt sighed, "so you kids know about the whole war, and our world being destroyed by the Green God and shit, so I'm gonna skip over that. Basically, because of the war, a lot of kids were killed. Especially kids of magic wielders."

"Why?" Tommy asked.

"Because the kids of magic wielders can use their weapons without it being passed on to them." Ranboo whispered.

Schlatt chuckled, "well, family members. Siblings can use each other's weapons and stuff. And because of that whole families were wiped out. So, some of the more powerful magic wielders sent their kids to other worlds to keep them safe. And some just left for other worlds and abandoned ours. So when Tubbo was born, I brought him here. Puffy had hidden away here a few years before and she owed me a favor. She took Tubbo in for me, to keep him away from this fucking war!"

"Wait- what!?" Tubbo yelled, "I-I'm-! What!?"

"Oh yeah, you were kinda unconscious when I told your friends." Schlatt shrugged, "I'm... your Dad."
