Hurting Or Healing? (Season 2 of Long Lost Love)

"Pogtopia, really?"

"I want to call this place Pogtopia"

I hummed at the suggestion.

"Since pog is universally agreed to be the best word ever, I decided to name our resistance after it" he claimed proudly. Me and Wilbur glanced at each other.

"I dont necessarily agree with your first statement, but what do you mean by resistance?" I asked him. Wilbur nodded along with me.

"I mean we have to get L'manburg back! We can't just let those dickheads rule our country!" He stated. Wilbur sighed beside me.

"Tommy, I agree that we have to take back what's ours, but how do you plan to take it back?" He doubted Tommy. I confusedly looked at him.

"I mean, Elaine is a very skilled fighter and all, but we are missing a shit ton of supplies and let's be honest, we can't beat the people that defeated Elaine" I cleared my throat, offended at what ge just said.

"Oh, you know it's true" he continued. Tommy seemed to be stuck at that. He didn't have a rebuttal.

"Caught me by surprise, that's all" I mumbled. He scoffed.

"I didn't think you could be knocked out that easily, but I guess I was wrong" he stated, rubbing his eyelids. I turned to him angered.

"Yeah, like you could've gotten out of there" I argued, rolling my eyes at him. He narrowed his eyes on me and I glared back at him. Thickening the atmosphere.

"I have an idea!" Tommy cut in between us. Wilbur's stare was interrupted and so was mine.

"What if we get The Blade on our side?" Tommy dramatized. That isn't a bad idea, but it was clear that was the only idea he could come up with.

"So you plan on calling him over, just so he could get us out of the mess that you two caused?" I deadpanned. Tommy gulped. I could see Wilbur had something to say.

"Wilbur, anything you'd like to share with the class?" I joked. He frowned at that.

"I don't think we should drag Technoblade into this" he kept it simple. Tommy's eyebrows furrowed.

"Well I'd love to hear your ideas, dickhead" he rebutted. Wilbur huffed at his comment and walked away, leaving us to wonder what was going on with him.

"Why was he being such an asshole just now?" I asked Tommy. He hummed.

"Well I guess he'll just have to deal with whatever we decide to do" he replied.

"What were you saying?" I ushered him to continue. His expression softened.

"Maybe we can get Techno in on the resistance" he repeated. I put a hand on my chin and thought about it. That didn't have any drawbacks, and I kinda wanna get revenge on them for the tranquilizing. It still stings my neck.

"You know what I feel kind of petty. Let's strike back at them worse" I twirled a knife in my hand, feeling trigger happy.

"Don't go on a fucking murder spree right now. We need to plan this out" he admonished. I chuckled at his sudden urge to use his brain.

"That's big coming from you" I shot back. He glanced at me and swore under his breath.

"What was that?" I intimidated. He froze in place.

"Nothing, nothing, god" he defended himself. I lightly giggled.

"Well, let's say we do get Techno here,"

"Which we will" he cut me off.

"What do we do after that? Just get really buffed and then go to war with them?" I speculated.

"I hate to admit it, but Techno is a high tear fighter and Wilbur and I aren't" he started off. I went to get myself a piece od bread that was on the table.

"Go on" I took a bite. He inhaled.

"So I wanted him to train us and like you said, gather things to launch a fucking surprise attack on them" he continued, describing the plan with his hands.

"Honestly, I don't think that's a bad idea, it could've been worse" I agreed with him, for once. His eyes widened.

"What?" I asked, finishing the bread.

"You actually... that rarely happens" he kept it short, but his reaction said a lot more.

"Sometimes I fail to notice that you've matured or at least are maturing" I passed him, heading for the exit.

"What kind of drug did that dickwad inject into you" he stood there shocked. I stopped for a moment but continued to go up the stairs he had built.

"Wait, where are you going?" he yelled. I looked over to him.

"Going to get my stuff, and also have a little talk with a certain mercenary" I reminded myself. His hopeful stare, turned into a cold one.

"I'll tell Techno about the thing then" he pulled out his communicator. I reached the top and found I was in a little dirt shack. Looking at the position of the bed, I dug out the dirt blocks in front of me and sure enough, it was the right way.

When I blocked it back off, I saw the full mound. It looked like a 2 year old built it. I spent 10 minutes improving it to blend in more with the ground. It definitely looked better. Right, now my little chat with Punz.

My clothes were all scruffy and my hair was getting worse. I actually thought of asking Nikki if I could use her shower. It might be weird but I didn't have a lot of options. I need to wash a few of my clothes too. Jeez I'm a mess on the inside and the outside.

Eventually after belittling myself, I found a mark on the tree, which I recognized to be the one I carved when I first came here. So many different things happened since that.

"What are you doing here?"

A/N

I'm so sorry to keep you all waiting. Our school was having a test week and my schedule is kinda mixed. I'll try to publish as much as I can.
