"That did not go to plan" Wilbur paced around the room as Tommy, Tubbo and I sat at the table.
"It's going to be ok Will" I said.
"No it's not, our endorsement is now running against us" His voice got a bit louder. I looked over to the two boys.
"Why don't you two go home, it was a big day and you two need sleep" I said. They looked over at Wilbur. "I've got it here" I said and they both headed out. I closed the door and turned to see Wilbur sitting down with his head in his hands. I walked over and sat down on the coffee table in front of him.
"Where did I go wrong?" He asked looking at me with watery eyes, "I'm going to lose the place I worked so hard for"
"You haven't lost yet" I said using my sleeve to wipe away his tears.
"My own son is running against me"
"Maybe that's not something to be sad about, he's following in his father's footsteps, maybe to be just like him" I said and Wilbur gave me a small smile.
"Maybe" he replied with a half smile.
"Where's your guitar?" I asked, "That song you sang to me the other day, The one you said your mom sang, can you sing it for me?"
"Of course darling, it's in the corner, I figured I didn't need it today" he said giving me a smile. I went and grabbed it before handing it to him. He strumed a few cords before starting. I smiled leaning against him listening to Jim play, it seemed to calm him down a bit.
I was sat at home fixing up one of Wilburs jackets when there was a knock at the door. I got up and went to the door to see Quakity.
"Afternoon Quakity, how can I help?" I asked.
"Schlatt wants to talk to you" he said.
"Why?" I asked my eyebrows furrowing, why would Schlatt want to talk to me? How would he even know who I am?
"I don't know" he shrugged.
"Alright fine" I said, "lead the way" I closed the door and followed Quakity through town to where Schlatt was staying.
"Hey kid, was wondering when I'd see you again" Schlatt said as I walked inside.
"Again?" I asked, "Sorry but I've never met you before in my life"
"Funny choice of words" Schlatt said leaning back in the chair before looking at Quakity, "do me a favour and find me something to drink and none of that cheap shit"
"Got it" Quakity said and vanished for all of two seconds before poking his head back in, "uh I have no denero" Schlatt groaned before walking over to Quakity and handing him some money.
"Anyway what was I saying?" Schlatt asked rubbing his forehead,
"That I had a funny choice of words" I said,
"Yeah that's it. See I was there at the start of your life, at least this one" he said sitting down on one of the chairs.
"Wait what are you talking about?" I asked.
"I'm talking about the young half endergirl that was clinging to life by a string, the same girl that I saved" he said with a proud grin on his face,
"No, no Dream found me, Dream saved me" I said. Schlatt cracked up laughing,
"Dream?! Dream found you sure but he didn't save you kid, that was my doing" he gloated pointing at his chest,
"What? No. No, Dream saved me. He, he saved me too well" I said shaking my head.
"Is that what he told you?" Schlatt laughed leaning forward in his chair,
"Yeah" I said.
"He told you that he saved you and gave you that human form too?" He grinned.
"Wait how did you know about that?" I asked.
"I told you kid, I was there" he said sitting back again.
"I-I'm not a kid to start with" I said as I sat down. "Why would he lie to me?" It was more to myself than to the man in front of me.
"To keep me out of the narrative probably, So that you'll keep listeing to him, the hero who saved you. To keep you as docile as he can. I know too much, I can tell you too much" he leant forward with a grin on his face, "because I can turn his secret little weapon against him"
"Weapon? You're funny. I can't fight to save my life" I said with a shake of my head.
"Who said anything about fighting" Schlatt said, "What has Dream told you?" He asked.
"I look like this and I can heal people, I don't see how that's got to do with anything" I said.
"That's all his told You?" Schlatt laughed.
"Yeah" I said.
"Kid, there is so much more that you can do"
