The walk to L'manburg felt so long even though it was only fifteen minutes. I spot a tall dark figure by a large oak tree, Wilbur. He started to walk away. "Wilbur!" I shouted from my side of the river, he stopped in place and turned around. "Ophelia?" Hearing him say my voice gave me butterflies? "Yes! I'll be over in a minute!" I hurriedly got into the small spruce boat and made my way to the shore on L'manburg territory.
I jump out and run to him, he pulls me into an embrace. "I didn't think you were actually going to come." "I didn't think I was going to make it in time." I say, trying to laugh it off. "Well, come on! Let me show you around now." He held his hand out inviting me to grab onto it. He started to lead me to the walls surrounding L'mangburg, I could see inside the gates, the place was beautiful. From where we were at the front, I could see a large castle, but that's all I could make out.

A few hours had already passed, by the end of the tour it was 12 AM. "Before you leave, I want to bring you to the bakery to get you something." He states. "What for?" "It's your birthday now, isn't it? Let me get you something." Before I could refuse the offer, he had already grabbed my hand and started walking. The bakery was quite close to where we were, so it didn't take long. As we entered, we were greeted by a voice, the woman speaking had a German accent. "Welcome to the bakery! Hey Wilbur, who's this with you?" She asked. She sounds so sweet. "This is Ophelia. She's Clay's daughter. I was giving her a tour of L'manburg. Ophelia, this is Niki." Wilbur explains. "Hi! It's nice to meet you!" I reply awkwardly. "I hope you enjoyed the tour then! L'manburg is such a wonderful place. So, will you guys be ordering anything today?" She says with a smile. "I'll have a medium hazelnut latte with a slice of chocolate cake, Ophelia?" "Oh, um. I'll have a medium oat milk latte with a slice of strawberry cake." She nods and makes the lattes then grabs the cakes from the cake stands on top of the glass.
"Since this is Ophelia's first time here, it's free for both of you. Have a wonderful night!" She says, handing us our order. "Thank you!" We say in unison. We exit the building. "Follow me, I wanna show you a place I go with my mates sometimes. You can see all of L'manburg there." And with that, he led me to a small bench with a record player next to it. "When I was with my dad, Nick and George earlier, I saw two boys. One was really tall, he was blonde and wore a red and white t-shirt with a red scarf and blue jeans. The other was about as tall as the first one's shoulders. He wore an army green t-shirt and brown shorts. He had small horns and ears on each side of his head. Do you maybe know them?" I ask while taking a sip of my latte. "I do, actually. They're the mates I was talking about. The blonde one is Tommy and the brunette is Tubbo. I'll introduce you to them someday." I nod and continue to eat, he does the same.

"It was lovely hanging out with you today, thank you for walking me home." I say with a wide smile. "No problem, let's meet again, yeah?" I agreed. "You know where I live now, so please, stop by anytime, okay?" He continues. "I'll stop by soon, don't worry." I reply, he nods. "Happy birthday and have fun tomorrow." He says, pulling me into a hug then disappears.
I walk into my house and let out a sigh. I look over to the couch, George is passed out and Nick is sitting in one of the chairs. "Who was that?" He asks. "Just a friend." "From L'manburg. I know who he is." "Please don't tell dad! He's really nice." "I won't, for now. But please, Ophelia, be careful around him, okay?" I nod and walk to my room. "Goodnight, Nick." "Goodnight Ophelia."
