Tommy POV;

I hear the car running in the garage, and assume that the others are waiting for us. Tubbo follows me as I lead him to the car. 

As we get to the car, Tubs and I quickly hopping in the back seats, one of which already preoccupied by Will.

I get in before Tubbo, which means I sit I the middle.

It's a bit cramped with the three of us back here, and it seems Phil notices the lack of space as he re-assures us that it's a short ride.

As he backs his car out of the driveway, we begin our journey to who knows where.

-------5minuteslater-------

Get me out of this fucking car before I go insane.

On my left side, Tubbo's practically yelling whilst trying to tell Wilbur a story about bees over the blaring music. On my right side, Wilbur's pretending to listen to Tubbo's story, yet has his earbuds in. He's listening to such loud music that I can hear it. Phil keeps turning the volume up on the radio, trying to tune out the other noise which only makes it worse. 

And Techno is...

Reading a book? With all this noise?

I will never understand him.

"Phil, how close are we!?" I shout over all the noise, but its no use, not even I can really hear what I said.

"What was that Tommy!?" Phil shouts back to me, and turns down  the music in order to hear me better, but it's still super loud.

before I get a chance to repeat what I said, Techno looks up from his book, glances at our surroundings, and tells me, "We're 3 minutes and 24 seconds away....now." 

Wtf

How did he hear me?

How did he know where we were immediately just by looking around?

How did he know the exact amount of time left in the ride? Down to the second!

---------3MinutesAnd24SecondsLater--------

By the time we get here, Wilbur stopped his music, Phil turned down the radio to a normal volume, Tubbo's being a lot quieter as he's too exhausted to shout anymore.

And Tech....

Is still reading his book.

The car rolls to a stop in a parking lot.

We all get out, and I look around for clues as to where we are, but there are like 20 buildings in this parking lot, so I give up guessing. 

Tubbo and I follow the others cluelessly until we reach a building with no sign on the front. The walls are a dark, bold blue, and there's a neon red strip outlining the door. The door itself is a dark green. This building is overall, incredibly bright and colorful. 

Its kinda ugly if I'm being honest.

We step inside, and it is equally bright. The only things in the room are a front desk, some chairs in the corner, and a closed door.

We step up to the front desk and Phil begins talking to the person behind it.

As everyone else is talking, I notice a sign on the desk that says "Laser Tag"

Wtf? those are like two opposite words? 

Lasers are fucking murder weapons. They can burn through objects and kill someone!

Tag is a fun game you would play with your friends.

Tubbo notices the sign too but his reaction is different.

"No way! Ive always wanted to play Laser tag!" He says happily before talking with Phil and Wilbur.

Techno steps over to me before saying, "You don't look too exited?"

I hesitate for a moment before asking, "I honestly have no Idea what this is?" 

He nods his head before joining Will's and Tubbo's conversation, leaving my question unanswered.

All of them except for Phil go sit in the chairs, leaving me by the front counter with Phil.

"-should be ready within the next 5 minutes." I hear the lady at the counter say as I tune back into what's happening.

"Great, thanks!" Phil replies happily, before heading over to sit down with the others.

"5 minutes until what?" I ask him as we sit down.

"Until the next round starts." He answers kindly before pulling out his phone.

Not wanting to bother him, I refrain from asking anymore questions.

Is it actual laser tag? Like, tag with lasers? Thats what "laser tag" sounds like.

But I don't think he would bring us here to try and kill us.

A laser could easily kill or injure someone, and there's a small chance that Phil genuinely wants me to die, but you never know.

Im probably just overreacting, I mean, it's just the name for whatever we're doing.

------3Minutes later-------

Someone wearing a weird flashing uniform walks up to us before saying, "We are ready for the next round, follow me please."

We stand up before following him over to the other door in the room.

Here we go.

A/N:

I have no excuse. I was just too lazy to post. 

I will probably start posting a lot more, and Im starting another book with a similar concept.
